UNDR Voting Map

The Peoples Republic of China and the Republic of China (Taiwan) were not the same... the map gives the impression that either communist China did not exist (it did) or that the Republic of China had (filtered) over the mainland (it did not).

I can see from the map that it is not very reflective of the time period in general... I think the whole map could be vastly improved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:8BDA:B100:213E:62:E1BA:6D4A (talk) 03:17, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

It looks like somebody took a post-2011 map. There are borders where there shouldn't be (some parts of africa, yugoslavia). Martinkunev (talk) 07:56, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

This map is absolutely awful. It's neither a current map nor a 1948 map. The countries in the Caucasus are already there for some reason, but not those in Central Asia or the Baltics, even though all of them were part of the Soviet Union. How is Yugoslavia divided in six? What's up with Africa? But Czechoslovakia is there though.

However, China is not a problem. The vote was on 10 December 1948, and the PRC was only proclaimed on 1 October 1949. So China simply includes both the Mainland and Taiwan at that time. De wafelenbak (talk) 19:34, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

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, Émile Giraud, 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...) - EnlightenmentNow1792 (talk) 13:28, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Bias towards some Wikis

the Oshiwambo and Kalallisut wikis show all of the UDHR, but not in the biggest Wiki: English

Error 532

I found the Oshiwambo Wiki, and on the list of pages for that Wiki there was this page in Ndonga, but switch to English and you cannot find the Oshiwambo version! Please can you sort out error 532 as this is really annoying! (although the Ndonga Wiki is probably going to be closed) 77.101.105.211 (talk) 16:14, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
