Draft:Economic imperialism

Hi, I've created a draft at Draft:Economic imperialism as this seems to be a big omission in wikipedia's coverage, and was wondering whether anyone would be interested in collaborating to write and structure it, including defining scope and gathering sources. Economic imperialism currently links to Theory of imperialism. Alexanderkowal (talk) 11:31, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Bilateral relations articles

I've noticed that Kawnhr (talk · contribs) has been changeing the lead statement like here. I have worked on 100s of bilateral articles and the standard introduction is that. They have only changed this for Canada related articles, there are probably over a 1000 of these bilateral articles. Also this is changing from the standard "See Also" section in 100s of bilaterals. LibStar (talk) 04:32, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

I think there is consensus (and support in the MOS) for edits like the first one changing the lead sentence. See the past discussion here: Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject International relations/Archive 6#Lead sentences. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 13:23, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

It is true that "X–Y relations are the relations between X and Y" is the common introduction, but it is by no means universal — there were several foreign relations articles that did not use that even before I started my edits, such as Canada–United States relations, Canada–Palestine relations, Canada–France relations, Canada–United Kingdom relations, etc. Regardless, just being the common introduction does not mean it is unassailable or even correct.

The Manual of Style is clear that we do not absolutely have to include (and bold) the article name in the lead. MOS:AVOIDBOLD says If the article's title does not lend itself to being used easily and naturally in the first sentence, the wording should not be distorted in an effort to include it. Instead, simply describe the subject in normal English, avoiding unnecessary redundancy. Furthermore, because MOS:BOLDLINKAVOID says we must avoid putting links in the boldface recitation of the title, that means we can't link to X and Y countries without mentioning them again, which leads to awkward, redundant phrasing. But don't take it from me; MOS:REDUNDANCY says The title need not appear verbatim in the lead if it is descriptive., and specifically uses the "X–Y relations are the relations between X and Y" as something not to do. I am only bringing these articles in-line with what the MOS suggests.

I'm not sure what you're getting at by pointing out I've only done this for Canadian articles. Is it that I've now put Canada out of step with the others? Well, I'm only one person… I can't make changes to over a thousand pages in two days…

That said, I fully own up to making a mistake with the "See Also" section. My intent was to remove repeated links (generally frowned upon per MOS:NOTSEEALSO), but I forgot that navboxes don't (or don't always) display on mobile, so those links are still helpful for mobile readers. I'll go through my edits and restore those. — Kawnhr (talk) 16:04, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
