Revision of January 2012 I ve just conducted a major revision of this article Besides completely rewriting the lede I ve noticed a number of issues with the article and I explain the rationale behind my editing choices with regard to those issues below Tendency in the first line of the article had a clarification needed tag I was at first unsure how to clarify a word that seemed pretty clear to me Nonetheless recognising that those not well versed in left wing political terminology would have difficulty understanding what it meant in that context I ve linked it to School of thought as the closest alternative If anyone can think of a better way to clarify its meaning please do This article used a mixture of Commonwealth and North American spelling It has no clear national ties to any English speaking country As such based on the Wikipedia Manual of Style s guidelines I ve standardised to Commonwealth spelling as that was both the predominant and as a search through the article s edit history will reveal the first spelling variation to be used There was a large amount of unencyclopedic language and very mild POV pushing I ve brought much of this article back in line with NPOV to the best of my abilities I ve italicised all references to the Platform as it is the short hand of a book title Additionally it needs to be pointed out that platformism ought to be written with a lower case P similar to anarchism and communism and Finally I ve removed all redlinks as they make the article look unprofessional I hope everyone is okay with all of this Talk Stalk
