Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Misplaced Pages:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Misplaced Pages talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Thanks. — Headbomb {κοντριβς – WP Physics} 09:16, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)

Project banners

For bilateral relations articles, each article should probably include the banners of the WikiProjects for the two country projects banners in addition to:

{{WikiProject International relations}}

-- User:Docu

Bilateral relations - sourcing of population numbers

One of the questions generally address in bilateral relations, is how many nationals of one country reside in the other one. Which would be appropriate sources these? The general rule seems to be that census numbers are generally reliable and can be used as such. -- User:Docu (June 15, 2009)

A reliable source for the number of residents registered with a consulate can be the number supplied directly by the representation of the country of origin. -- User:Docu (June 17, 2009)

Bilateral relations - sourcing of the date of recognition

We could use the primary source, i.e. a document from the country that recognizes another one to source this, but a generally a reliable one would be that date supplied by the country that was recognized. -- User:Docu (June 17, 2009)

Foreign relations of the Palestinian National Authority move to Foreign relations of Palestine

There is a proposed move from Foreign relations of the Palestinian National Authority to Foreign relations of Palestine. If you are interested please join this discussion. Alinor (talk) 11:25, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

The move request at Talk:Foreign relations of the Palestinian National Authority was closed, so we're now taking suggestions for an alternative. As you were involved in the previous discussion, I'd be grateful if you could contribute to the new one. Please lodge your support for a proposal, or make one of your own. Night w2 (talk) 04:27, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Albanian Ambassadors

While stub-sorting I've found a flurry of minimal articles such as Albanian Ambassador to Argentina, and wondered whether they were correctly set up - over to you lot as the experts! PamD (talk) 19:57, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

IMF page and the inclusion on the rape-charge

Can some others please help in maintaining the IMF page and constantly removing the section onDSK's rpe case? What he has done or supposedly did has nothing to do with the IMF.Other dictionaries are better (talk) 12:40, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

I think a brief, neutral, and balanced discussion would be better. Removing any mention at all, despite extensive coverage in reliable sources which explicitly connects the case to the IMF, is no way to write a good article. However, you could shop around some more forums if you don't like the response you get here. bobrayner (talk) 21:07, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
The page has been cleared well but DSK's page has more info on the sex case than his contributions to the financial world.Other dictionaries are better (talk) 12:49, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Notice of RfC pertaining to Kosovo

The placement of Kosovo on List of sovereign states is currently being debated. We need further input from uninvolved editors about how best to proceed. Your participation would be greatly appreciated. The discussion is being held at Talk:List of sovereign states/Discussion of criteria#Kosovo's placement on the list. Nightw 00:12, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Safe Planet

I think that this recently-created article falls within the scope of this wiki-project.

On the talk page, a user has raised concerns that it is overly dependent on primary sources; I think that is true. So, if anyone can help improve it, trim out anything inappropriate, etc. - please do. Best,  Chzz  ►  03:28, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

UNDG

Anyone with experience or knowledge on the United Nations Development Group? Please help expand the article; I've done some work.Other dictionaries are better (talk) 20:07, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

International Space Station

I have nominated International Space Station for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here.

Please understand, this is about an effort to improve the article, and get some new blood and new ideas into this article. Penyulap talk 15:51, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

ISS on IR?Cibwins2885 (talk) 12:35, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
Well, it wasn't one that comes to mind for me either, when I look at the fields that are needed to help out in improving this very important article. Robotics just doesn't get any kind of coverage at all, Japan, who has the largest laboratory wasn't even a listed wikiproject, ditto Canada, one of the main 5 partners. IR, I saw was like all about (hot air?) well, you know, the ins and outs of diplomacy, you guys know what your up to, I have a fair idea, and the link seems tenuous to myself also. The original pact that brought the 5 (Russia, European space agency, US, Japan, Canada) has gone quite stale and left a bad taste in the mouth of Russia and the US. The US is abandoning the ISS, due to lack of funds, political interest, lack of coordinated technical development, and the Russians have a seen a co-operative partnership where both sides provide support to each other for free, turn into what their people are calling a 'provision of services', so I'm not so sure it's as much a meeting of political minds as once it was. Later, China and India and I think s.korea would be invited by ESA (and Russia) to help out, if the US is out of the picture, that may revive interest ? I only included the message here as a professional courtesy, as the IR has the ISS article within the scope of it's wikiproject as indicated on the talkpage. If it is tenuous these days, then I fully support you discussing it with anyone concerned, or it's outright removal, if there is just one or two active editors here holding the fort. There is simply no need for you guys to have useless busy work if the ISS is of no special interest for IR. You blokes are the experts on what it is you do, I think the article is well assisted by enough editor experts to adequately address international relations issues as it is. Just give it a quick browse, and it's up to you guys. I'm on holiday from the article for a month or so. Penyulap talk 13:32, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
