hi sorry guys if i'm doing the wrong thing and if this is the wrong place to ask but why is the boycott/divestment/sanctions campaign of boycotting israeli goods not in this list? ewan mcnicholl (ewan.mcnicholl@gmail.com) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.30.167.223 (talk) 10:48, 1 August 2014 (UTC)Reply


WTF is this about a Kellogg's boycott in connection with circumcision? No documentation. - User:KriZe

  • In general this article is a shambles. I've removed most of the listings under "consumer boycotts", which may, as you indicate, even be libelous. -- Dystopos 20:27, 1 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
    • I’ve returned to the list those boycotts that are documented elsewhere on Wikipedia. It is not libel to describe or list the documented activities (such as boycotts) conducted by groups. Boycotts such as the Nestlé boycott are well documented and worthy of encyclopedic inclusion. I do agree that this list article needs a fair amount of work, but that’s not a reason to remove well–documented boycotts from this “list of boycotts.” —GrantNeufeld 07:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Birds Eye

Does anyone know anything about a boycott of Birdseye frozen foods in I think the 1970s or 1980s due to something like a support of whaling or seal clubbing? --Wrh1973 10:39, 10 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Electronic Arts/EA

edit

Here's something to research - a fan based boycott of EA http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=EA+boycott&btnG=Google+Search

EA did shutdown many studios like Bullfrog (Dungeon Keeper, Theme Hospital, Theme Park) and Westwood (Command and Conquer, Earth and Beyond) and caused much grief to the fans

This has recently (since 2005), even made to undermine Larry Probst ratings in Forbes, in which many earth and beyond players took part (like me and many friends): http://www.forbes.com/2004/01/13/cx_ceosoftware.html#lprobst

Probably there is a lot more info out there than i can provide, but there is a clear global-wide boycott on EA due to their policies and market strategies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LPCA (talkcontribs) 06:30, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Criteria for inclusion of a boycott

edit

Five criteria which should be considered for including a boycott on a list are: passing of legislation such as the Civil Rights Act of 1957 following the Montgomery Bus Boycott resulting in racial desegregation (or other positive actions), something the whole world is opposed to something such as General Electric for its production and promotion of nuclear weapons, high profile actions such as banner drops during the boycott of Mitsubishi for its role in the destruction of rainforests through its forestry activities, how a company reacts to a boycott (especially in a negative way) such as Daishowa regarding proposed logging of Lubicon Cree territory, along with special 'negative' awards such as the Public Eye Award being awarded to Chevron Corporation for its failure to clean up oil pollution in the Ecuadorian Amazon from its former Texaco operations.RoundupResistance (talk) 09:09, 16 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
