Talk:User revolt

Lots of revolts are independently notable

Many of the events here could have their own Wikipedia articles. I am citing lots of sources here and trying to either write new stories or merge content here from other Wikipedia articles, but for a lot of these stories, they need their own Wikipedia articles. If they had their own articles, then at least this article and the parent website article could link to those expanded independent descriptions. In a lot of these cases there is even a third topic which touches the revolt. Blue Rasberry (talk) 01:06, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Inclusion on this page

I have presumed that an event is a "revolt" if a reliable source called it a "revolt". Right now, all of the events listed here are called a "revolt" by at least one source. Blue Rasberry (talk) 02:12, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Editorial Mutiny at Elsevier Journal

• McKenzie, Lindsay (January 14, 2019). "Elsevier journal editors resign, start rival open-access journal". insidehighered.com. Inside Higher Ed.

This is a case of a journal being an online community of volunteers who revolted to establish a competing online community in another platform. The difference between journals and websites is becoming less, but currently, this page is only listing traditional websites. I wonder how common this is for journals or similar?

I found this old article during review for meta:COLOR.

1000 Wikipedia community members signed an open letter advocating for volunteer participation in the decision making process.

This came from The Epoch Times, which Wikipedia currently deems unreliable in all cases. I think this article is fine but for now I put it here. Blue Rasberry (talk) 23:40, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

StackExchange and Monica Cellio

I think the 2019-2020 controversy at StackExchange involving Monica Cellio already discussed somewhat at Stack Exchange § Declining relationship between users and company should also be mentioned briefly in this article. I wish there were a source measuring the number of users with "reinstate Monica" usernames at the time, which was remarkably high. Describing the controversy concisely might be difficult.
