	== Section: Creation and Drafting.... "The document is based on the..." ==

	"The document is based on the English Magna Carta, the 1689 English Bill of Rights, the American Declaration of Independence, the American Bill of Rights, and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen."

	Hmm... It seems someone has inserted this exact same unsourced sentence - or close enough - across a range of articles. I've just come from writing a lengthy Talk page post here: https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Declaration_of_the_Rights_of_Man_and_of_the_Citizen#Proposal:_reference_to_the_UN_Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights_be_removed_from_the_lede

	I'll just quote the summary of the most pertinent part here: "In short, Humphrey and his top aide, ], came up with a list of "forty-eight items" that represented, in their view, "the common core" of the intellectual history of human rights they had collected, to be presented to the drafting committee, containing British, French, American, Swedish, Norwegian, Soviet, Chilean, Panamanian and Mexican documents and proposals - all with 400 pages commentary." (Humphrey: A Great Adventure, pp. 31 f. See UN document E/CN.4/AC.1/3/June 4, 1947, ‘Draft Outline of International Bill of Rights.’)

	I propose removing this unsourced sentenced and making significant additions. (Seems like these articles are gonna need a lot of work...) - ] (]) 13:28, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

This article is written in British English with Oxford spelling (colour, realize, organization, analyse; note that -ize is used instead of -ise) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

A fact from this article was featured on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the On this day section on December 10, 2004, December 10, 2007, December 10, 2008, December 10, 2009, December 10, 2011, and December 10, 2013.

Thinkers influencing the Declaration

PC Chang was member of the Drafting Committee. Chang was a confucian. Yet, Chang repeatedly complained that the other members of the Drafting Committee lacked any knowledge or interest in Confucian theory. Confucius was added to the list of Thinkers influencing the Declaration by user User:D1M2 on February 19, 2022. I kindly suggest that a source should be supplied to back up the claim that Confucius' legacy had any substantial impact on the eventual Declaration. Kjalving (talk) 22:14, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

I've added a reference to an article about the Confucian influences on the Declaration. Although personally I find the influences rather marginal, a Misplaced Pages article is not the platform where such a debate should take place. Kjalving (talk) 06:57, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

References to Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI)

The Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) is a Scientology group using the discussion of human rights to subtly promote their church's agenda. I would ask what has been done by this group to qualify them as contributors to this topic which has not been achieved by far more prevalent groups with less of an agenda behind them. I would propose removing those references in favour of groups like Amnesty International for example. 90.216.150.214 (talk) 15:32, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
