Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Friends of the Earth (EWNI). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20130207151519/http://www.oxfordclimateforum.org/charles-secrett.html to http://www.oxfordclimateforum.org/charles-secrett.html

Proposed changes (COI declared)

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. [See below]

Numbers between information, explanation and references match.

Information to be added or removed:

Change to: "Friends of the Earth is one of 75 national groups around the world"
Suggest deleting everything from "Since July 2008..." to "FOE EWNI is part...". If too drastic, could move still relevant info to history section.
Change to: "FoE EWNI is part of the more than 30 national organisations that Friends of the Earth Europe represents"
Add: "Friends of the Earth (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) leads campaigns, provides resources and information, and identifies solutions to environmental problems."
Add: "It is committed to a flourishing, sustainable, and socially just world. By mobilising a diverse network of people, it works towards each generation enjoying an environment that’s getting better; a safer climate, abundant nature, healthy air, water and food."
Suggest breaking out a subsection to list former/current chief executives, as this is the largest part of the history listed, or deleting. Since 2015 Craig Bennett has been Chief Executive.
Delete: Festivals section

Explanation of issue: Much of the information on this page is out of date or doesn't meet the standards of good wikipedia articles.

Out of date
Out of date and not good summary info for beginning of article
Out of date
Provides info on what Friends of the Earth does currently absent
Provides additional context for how it does that work, and its mission statement
Poor quality content
Written as if advertising, feels out of scope
