Wikipedia talk:WikiProject International law/Archive 1
Per a request on Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians, I'm trying to find out if anyone knows what happened to User:David91. David91 was part of Wikipedia:WikiProject International law and he stopped editing around April 12, 2006, when he was admitted to the hospital for some tests. He possibly lived in Singapore (likely in or near Ang Mo Kio which he edited 3 times--but with enough detail to suggest a strong familiarity with the place), and was probably the oldest Wikipedian at the age of 94 (based on a reference from 2003 when he said he was 91). Based on his numerous contributions in law it is possible he was a retired lawyer of some kind. He also contributed to linguistics, sociology, and science fiction articles. In all, he made nearly 5000 edits. He evidently was also a well-respected member of other Internet communities he was involved in during his retirement. Any information on David91 would be appreciated. Thanks.--Alabamaboy 14:49, 10 June 2006 (UTC) Project directoryHello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 22:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC) URGENT! See Law of nationsCleanup required!!! Wikipedia Day AwardsHello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 23:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC) I've done quite a bit of work on the above article, as a first step towards a project of mine to add information about legality to articles to do with nuclear weapons. I was wondering whether a member (or some members) of the International Law wikiproject, who are better informed than I am, could help out with the following: (1) Rating the article as it now stands (A-Class, B-Class, or whatever); (2) Providing a to-do list of improvements for the article; (3) Editing the article, adding any information they are able to. Also, if any of you would like to vote for the article in the Article Improvement Drive, that would be great too! Thanks, --Jim (Talk) 10:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC) HelloHello all, I am new to this project. I added one article about international law, United States v.

Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm. We would like to ask you to review the International law articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th. We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide.

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations. This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g: • Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film • Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers. • Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc. • Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____ • Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost
Comment on the WikiProject X proposalHello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.)

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter.

---Another Believer (Talk) 18:16, 10 April 2017 (UTC) WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProjectThe reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them. Portals are being redesigned. The new design features are being applied to existing portals. At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}. The discussion about this can be found here. Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time. BackgroundOn April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals. Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals. So far, 84 editors have joined. If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive. If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page. Thank you. — The Transhumanist 10:58, 31 May 2018 (UTC) Raid on North Korea's embassy in Madrid listed at Requested moves A requested move discussion has been initiated for Raid on North Korea's embassy in Madrid to be moved.

Request for information on WP1.0 web toolHello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables. We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC) ScopesTo start off, I've made a list of topics in international law, which I suggest could outline the scope of this WikiProject. At the moment most of the articles in the list are quite brief or non-existent. That an international and multilingual encyclopedia like Wikipedia lacks a comprehensive and consistent section on international law is a situation which should be rectified. With some refinement, this list could also provide the basic framework for a template.
I've taken the first steps to set up this project. Please feel free to dig in and improve. Yeu Ninje 04:07, 7 December 2005 (UTC) I looked at public international law back in the 1960s and have noticed the need for there to be more coherent material on Wiki. I was going to start adding one or two conceptual pages which I know will not have changed that much over the years when I've finished the current set of legal page rewrites. The Conflict material is an almost complete draft save for Trusts. If anyone can add that for me, I would appreciate it since I do not have much time at present. Equally, if you have a most desired list of pages, I will prioritorise accordingly. David91 Laws of War are not entirely synonymous with international humanitarian law. There is IHL that is not related to wars; and there are laws of war that can't really be characterized as humanitarian in nature. From what I can tell, the distinction is a matter of ongoing debate among international lawyers and scholars in the field. --Leifern 13:57, 7 December 2005 (UTC) {{LawUnref}}Note - I have created a modification of the {{unreferenced}} template for law articles - {{LawUnref}}, which puts articles into Category:Law-related articles lacking sources.

Citation and article titles on ICJ casesA few cases are on List of International Court of Justice cases. If we are to build up a database of international law cases then perhaps we need some standard for naming and citing cases. ICJ Cases are conventionally referred to by subject matter as well as by name. For example:
I suggest that within the text we use the first citation. For example, "in the Nicaragua case (Merits), the ICJ found that the United States was in breach of its obligation under customary international law not to intervene in the affairs of another State." The more detailed second style of citation can be provided in endnotes, as in Sources of international law. At the moment the case is entitled Nicaragua v. United States, which could potentially be problematic if there were many cases between the two countries. By contrast, LaGrand case (Germany v. USA) (Request for the Indication of Provisional Measures) is simply entitled LaGrand case. Do we need to standardise the article titles? Yeu Ninje 03:21, 12 December 2005 (UTC) ILO ConventionsHi. I've started creating the International Labour Organization Conventions (as part of Wikiproject Organized Labour). They're in Category:International Labour Organization Conventions, and I was thinking of adding the cat as a sub-cat of Category:International law.

As an active member of WikiProject Military history, and someone interested in politics and diplomacy in general, I have for some time wondered about better categorization of those events which, though not military in nature, have crucial effects upon diplomacy. There are already complex trees of categories for terrorism, state terrorism, assassinations, and the history of foreign relations of many separate countries, but I still think it may prove useful, and pertinent, to create, and populate a complex of categories for diplomatic incidents, and particularly for events which, even when not directly "military" or "diplomatic" in nature, have profound effects upon those spheres. (Some examples include the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, the USS Maine, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, the kidnapping of several Israeli soldiers last year, and the Namamugi Incident, just to name a few.) Thoughts, ideas, suggestions? How might we best label these articles so as to indicate their roles in spurring greater diplomatic or military events? Thank you.

As it is, the little stub contains almost no encyclopedic text. On a related note, even Magna Carta's section is in dire need of attention, although the topic has at least been breached there. Articles that WikiProject: International Law template has been added tooI've editted and consolidated the last three sections I've added, regarding ex post facto law, crimes against humanity, and Christopher Weearmantry, into a single for a list of articles as added. I haven't seen much activity on the main page for the project except for people adding themselves into the project and I still don't see a more appropriate place to list new additions for consideration by project members (or for them to note it doesn't belong here. For now, do as I've done. List the article name you added the template to, give an explanation, if you feel the need and sign right on that line. Give no indentation for the addition of the article, comments, if added should be put right under and indented. Do this until something new is suggested.
An International Legal Theory page?Wikipedia still lacks an International Legal Theory page. The subsection in Public International Law is a good historical overview but does not include the most recent approaches. Approaches to International Law deals with the newer critical theories cryptically: it would be unclear for a reader unfamiliar with the topic; it glosses over the various nuances within the various approaches; and does not even identify the main proponents of each approach. Perhaps the solution would be to create a new page on International Legal theory, covering both the classical theories and the critical ones, and separate pages for each theory giving greater details on their methods and explanatory models. --Bonifacius 07:37, 15 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by BonifaciusVIII (talk • contribs)

Due to the almost complete overlap (technically both articles describe a former Mandatory geopolitical entity of Palestine under British rule, which has only one article in other languages) and ongoing confusion (some insisted that "British Mandate for Palestine" is more the name of a 1922 document and not a country), i propose to merge Mandate Palestine into British Mandate for Palestine, and make an additional article named British Mandate for Palestine (document) to prevent confusion between the document and the geopolitical entity.

These are all listed as founders of the Institut de Droit International. Two other founders, Wladimir Besobrassof and Augusto Pierantoni, do not yet have articles as yet. All of the articles that do exist are either stub or start class. Some include information on the subject's involement/place in international law. Some do not, but I added the banner in the belief that the founders of the institut should be reviewed by this project for that reason alone, and because they almost certainly had separate accomplishments in the field.

I am proposing to add the current Organ trade article to the WikiProject International Law because I believe the issue of organ trade, specifically illegal organ trading, has a growing importance in international law due to globalization. Organ trafficking now happens across and within nations, so to analyze and tackle this issue from an international law perspective would help address the issue. I plan to expand the current article to include some of the global measures already taken against organ trafficking while including proposed solutions by scholars. Specifically, I am focusing on actions taken by the World Health Organization (WHO) and responses to the Declaration of Istanbul on Organ Trafficking and Transplant Tourism, which calls for major legislative frameworks in each country to tackle organ trafficking. I would love to hear any comments/suggestions on this topic, and look forward to working with everyone soon! Daniellam91 (talk) 08:45, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
The Rwandan GenocideHello, I plan to expand the article on the Rwandan Genocide. My plan to improve the article consists of the following:
Improving the Rwandan Genocide article plays an important part to this WikiProject especially since the future of the Rwanda lies on the justice system and decisions from international organizations- particularly the United Nations. In the year of 2012, the Gacaca Courts were closed (BBC News article) and the United Nations announced that the ICTR will close by the end of 2014 (UN Centre News article). Although the Rwandan Genocide page is detailed and has many links to related pages, it does not have a section for the Gacaca Court, which played a major part in the justice system after the genocide. I also do not understand why the article does not go over the closing of the Gacaca Courts and planned closing of the ICTR in detail. I plan to read reports from the ICTR and the UN related to the subject matter and read scholarly articles on the ICTR and the Gacaca Courts. As for the "War Rape" section, there is a concern in the Talk page over the section being overwhelmed by just one source. I plan to add two scholarly articles that could provide a balance. (Article 1) (Article 2). I think collecting relevant information from the two articles will help to improve the section. Also, I think that changing the title of this section, "War Rape," to "Gender Targeted Crimes Against Humanity" would be better in explaining the subject. I feel like the title is too broad in relation to the Rwandan Genocide. The term "war rape," as the word "war" suggests, refers to such crimes during war. War and genocide are not the same, and so, I think that the title should be changed. I also plan to find evidence of how international law carries out its role in handling gender targeted crimes against humanity. Overall, I plan to add the article in where I feel it lacks the most. In expanding the article, I plan to use scholarly articles to find relevant information that will contribute to my plan and overall to this WikiProject. I would greatly appreciate feedback to further improve my plan for the Rwandan Genocide article. Please post a message to me on my Talk page. Thank you! MinjKim (talk) 09:35, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
Contribution by wikipedians knowledgeable about international law would be useful at 2012 Italian shooting talk page.Due to events development, international law is becoming a crucial issue for 2012 Italian shooting in the Arabian Sea article, which relates to the Enrica Lexie incident.
On relevant talk page a handful of editors are debating on subjects most of them know very little about, such as Maritime law, Sovereign immunity, etc.
Well, IMHO, actually not so much real help has been received on the wiki page as per subject, but OK, thank you for the thought. Regards LNCSRG (talk) 08:55, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
Proposal for New Wiki Article Titled "The Prosecution of Gender-Targeted Crimes"Hello, after editing the "War Rape" section of the "Rwandan Genocide" article and renaming it as "Gender-Targeted Crimes," I have decided to expand beyond the Rwandan situation of gender-targeted crimes and look at the justice system of such crimes in the international and domestic (as in U.S.) perspectives. The class that I am doing the Wikipedia projects for has re-emphasized the importance and graveness of gender-targeted crimes and the lack of necessary action in carrying out the prosecution for these crimes. To provide evidence of the graveness of the gender-targeted crimes, I have included some statements and the sources below:
The evidence above suggests that there is a great lack of prosecuting the crimes. Not even in the U.S. is there a efficient, working system. To solve this problem, the obvious thing to do is to find justice for the violence- to improve and reform the prosecution of the crimes. It's an issue that all nations need to focus attention to. For the new article, which will be titled, "The Prosecution of Gender-Targeted Crimes," I plan to have information on the types of gender-targeted crimes (such as rape and domestic violence), the International Aspect (tribunals, the International Criminal Court), Domestic Aspect (United States), and Suggested Solution section. This is just a basic plan for now as I plan to develop a detailed outline when I do more research and get advice. I have found scholarly articles that provide background information on the prosecution of the gender-targeted crimes. From a brief overview of the articles, it seems that much more needs to be done in regards to improving the prosecution system. I plan to read the articles in detail to gather more information. I worry that the article may sound like an essay and less of an encyclopedia entry. Does anybody have some advice on avoiding that problem? Additionally, I would love to have feedback on my proposal for the new article. Any advice that would help improve the plan for my new entry would be much appreciated! Thank you.

Whatever position anyone takes on this issue, public international law is involved. IMHO (talk) 19:44, 15 April 2014 (UTC) And given the name and even specific topic of 2014 Russian military intervention in Ukraine, added the IR/IL banner to that talk page for as long as it remains separate from from the Crimean crisis page.

I was wondering if someone more versed than I would care to take a look, maybe make some recommendations or otherwise help bring it stylistically in line with other IL articles. Expansion has gone well so far (according to the DYK checker up to about 3780 words from 125 words since the end of June), but I could use some outside input. Particularly the section on the case history feels like a mess. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 22:22, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

This is a talk page for a somewhat old failed notability guideline, but every once in a while, some of us get inspired and try to see if we can raise a consensus on some elements of this, and right now, it's treaties. If you have any input, please join in. Right now we have only me and one other editor, hardly enough to approach a consensus; and I suspect since the guideline has been long-dormant, it's not on many radar screens. I'm posting this to WP:WikiProject Law and WP:WikiProject International law. If there are other WikiProjects that you think would have an interest, feel free to invite them to the discussion.

I am posting a proposed WikiProject called United States Constitution. This project will focus on articles related to the original text of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights; it should include the articles on all 27 amendments, clauses, Supreme Court cases interpreting constitutional provisions, the drafters, and so forth. We can't get the proposed WikiProject without your help! Since you are in this group, I think you would also be interested in this WikiProject. We need 6-12 members to get the WikiProject active. Please join and support today. Please put your name in the "Support" tab here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/United States Constitution. Thank you!

The two articles' subjects affect EU member states and some nations outside of the Union, so I believe it fits under this WikiProject's scope. In both cases, I'm proposing new draft material on the Talk pages: here for MiFID and here for EMIR. I do have a conflict of interest as I'm working on these topics as a paid consultant to the Managed Funds Association and I will not make any edits to the live articles, preferring to propose changes and discuss on the Talk pages. If helping clean up and expand neglected articles on European financial legislation is your thing, please take a look. Thanks! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 16:18, 3 September 2015 (UTC) I wonder if someone interested in IL can take a look at the discussion here: Talk:Right of return#Domestic_immigration_laws_are_not_about_Right_of_Return I have a very hard time convincing one editor of that immigration law is distinct from international law. The editor also claims that I removed large swathes of information from the article which isn't true, I moved it to nationality law.

Unfortunately, the Request Edits Queue seems to be stuck right now, and since I have a conflict of interest I won’t make any changes to the page myself. Is anyone in this Project interested in taking a look at these proposals, by any chance? Thanks very much.
