ALT1 ... ~~that Internet advocate Sally Burch was refused entry into Argentina because her presence was considered disruptive?~~ Source: champion for the internet and "disruptive"
I don't like this ALT1 which by the way was added without discussion. Champion is used in the article and seems fine. "Advocate" on the other hand seems like a US-Americanism. I think the original ALT0 is better. Mujinga (talk) 18:11, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- @Mujinga: but "champion" is also used (at least, in AmEng) to depict to a towering warrior, fighting for a cause. I can't tell you how many mailers I've gotten telling me that various political candidates are "champions" for gun rights or something like that. How about proponent, or supporter, or promoter? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 00:20, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - She is fighting for a cause - "Burch has written concerning media corporations and championing the right of citizens to information and to communication and on the citizens' internet". I'm promoting this, but this can be brought up on the DYK page is there is any disagreement. SL93 (talk) 08:48, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
