[edit] references
- i added 3 new references if anyone wants to use them in the article (:O) -Nima Baghaei talk · cont · email 20:35, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

The term "World Citizen" was originally coined prior to the founding of the United Nations Correspondents Association. It is also possible, and much more in union with original philosophy, that disapproving of "traditional geopolitical divisions derived from national citizenship" does not mean that one approves of world government nor democracy. More later. ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ssauble (talk • contribs) 03:25, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] subjective or incomplete
This is my personal opinion, but I find this definition of world citizen quiet subjective or incomplete. What does "traditional" mean in "traditional geopolitical divisions"? Is the "world citizen" who approves at least in part geopolitical divisions still a "world citizen"? I think yes. Moreover, what is the link between a world citizen and democracy?

[edit] Not too enthusiastic about merging
Workd citizen is about a political goal to create democratic world institutions of which all earthlings would be citizens. Global citizenship is more vague, it is the feeling to belong to the same world. A merger might confuse those two aspects, they are certainly complementary but are not at the same level. BTW, another article about a close concept is democratic globalization, which has its own approach also. We have here quite a rich topic, and to have three article to show each side of it is quite justified. --Pgreenfinch (talk) 08:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Bahá'í Faith
There is only the one "Bahá'í Faith" section on this article. The rest is links and related links. In common usage, the statement that World citizenship is distinct from the concept of global citizenship is not correct. After searching the internet, few if any writers make a distinction. Sorry it this ofends any Bahá'í, but this just seems to be a slightly deceptive lead-in or introduction to that faith. The term World citizen should be redirected to the Global citizen article. This article could be retitled World citizen (Bahá'í Faith) 172.130.14.93 (talk) 00:17, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
- I agree. I respect the Baha'i, but they do not have a monopoly on this concept. 94.222.212.251 (talk) 20:50, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Cronkite and source
The source listed says nothing of Cronkite supporting world citizenship, but rather of a democratic world federation. There may be some overlap of advocates, but these are not the same. And, in any case, did you really intend to cite the WorldNetDaily? I actually believe they've been listed as an illegitimate source on Wikipedia. Tfleming (talk) 02:06, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
