[edit] Suspicous edits
I am noticing a trend: Vincent1 and now with 96.200.81.27 both seem to only add criticisms to this section, particularly negative comparisons to Fair Trade. Considering Vincent1's history of contributions to Fair Trade entries, I suspect a political bias is behind these edits.Vermonterinexile 21:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- How is this any suspicious? I think Rainforest PR people are doing enough to promote the organization on wikipedia and clearly do not need help with that. All I am doing is providing a counter point of view, therefore making the article a bit more neutral overall. Judging from the number of registered users and ip addresses making edits on the page, I think I`m not the only one trying to add some critical elements to it.
- By the way, for your information, I am not working for a fair trade organization therefore I have no "political bias". I would consider myself however a fair trade enthusiast and yes, I am knowledgeable on the topic and have written a lot on here on Wikipedia - as opposed to you Vermonterinexile who has only contributed to the RA page.

- My earlier edits were intended to remove biased words like "lack of" and take each issue, such as implementation of standards, on its own, with points and counterpoints. It does not necessarily follow that these topics come under an overall header of Criticism. That POV is biased. I do agree that some of the language reads like an advert and I tried to take some of that out, but you removed that when you reverted all my changes.Vermonterinexile 21:35, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mcdonald's UK
Mcdonald's UK have switched to rainforest alliance coffee and theres a lot of info on it on their Make up your own mind site. Can we add this info to the article. I am unsure how to phrase it. Magic Pickle 11:04, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Suspicious edits
The edits by 65.182.28.194 seem a bit suspicious to me... the Criticism section was deleted and replaced by some very Pro-Rainforest Alliance texts.
Next time, before deleting anything, please discuss changes on the discussion page. Quebecois1983 03:03, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
65.182.28.194 has once again deleted the Criticism section - I flagged the article for NPOV. I can't revert the deletion forever... anybody has any suggestions? Quebecois1983 18:07, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
