Normative content[edit]

Under the heading of 'Cyberterrorism' there currently lies normative content '...self-evident truths...' etc. This needs to be edited to be descriptive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.60.210 (talk) 10:57, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion comments[edit]

A quick Google Book search [1] shows several sources on this group. I'm not *assuming* notability, but as there's some question, the article is not eligible for CSD. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 19:34, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Multiple problems with this article: - Ricardo Dominguez, listed both as Ricardo and Richard in this article, is a professor at UCSD. (http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/apr/06/activist-ucsd-professor-facing-unusual-scrutiny/) The links in the article lead to an obscure boxer, and to an illustrator in Texas, neither of whom is the man behind EDT

- The article reads as an uncritical endorsement of EDT and their work. It's far from objective.

- EDT, and specifically Dominguez, have attracted a great deal of attention recently for a "sit in" that targeted UCSD's website, and may face charges for mounting a DDoS attack. See http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/apr/06/activist-ucsd-professor-facing-unusual-scrutiny/

- There's another article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Disturbance_Theatre also on this topic - it too has problems, but it's a good bit more mature than this piece. Perhaps the two should be merged and then improved? Ethanz (talk) 17:39, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect?[edit]

This article needs to be merged quickly into Electronic Disturbance Theater per the reasons listed by Ethanz. Both articles have POV and COI issues, so I don't see any good reason to just redirect one to the other without actually merging any information from one to the other.

Copy Editing Comments[edit]

I noticed some of the sentences in the "FloodNet" section need some work.


Example(s):

"The Paramilitary a government funded military squad would surround a Catholic church during a Tsotsil Mayan, (a spoken Mexican language from around the Chiapas area of Mexico), for the next several hours the Paramilitary would shot everyone to death."

"...after ignoring eye witness reports and allowing those that confessed to this crime on humanity."

"This data request would then be stored on a server's error log and in the eyes of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation and the Electronic Disturbance Theater group, a symbolic list of those forty five Acteal civilians that had died straight to their murderers."


There are also some oddities in how technology is listed/explained in some of the opening sentences. It might make more sense to simply link to the referenced material, instead of explaining what it does and how it works with the program, right?

"EDT uses both e-mail and the internet to promote their work around the world, encouraging fellow supporters to download and run a HTML (Hyper Text Makeup Language) and Java applet, (an internet program used to help support interactive web based features or programs that a HTML cannot provide alone), based tool called FloodNet."


I would edit the referenced information myself, but I don't feel knowledgeable enough on the subject to reword it correctly, while still maintaining accurate information.

Additionally, I've also added the tone flag to the "Cyber terrorism?" section. It sounds a bit awkward and possibly skewed in someway. Could use some work.

better definition of the subject[edit]

I'd like to move this sentence to the beginning of the article, so that readers can understand what this subject is. The sentence (before I'm moving it) currently sits under the first section header. "The Electronic Disturbance Theater (EDT), established in 1997 by performance artist and published writer Ricardo Dominguez, is an electronic company of cyber activists, critical theorists, and performance artists who engage in the development of both the theory and practice of non-violent acts of defiance across and between digital and non-digital spaces."
