Hey Jytdog, |
|||
First of all thank you for paying attention to my edits. |
|||
I heard about IACA by a diplomat, who I happened to meet at an international convention in early spring 2016 but do not have any relationship to anyone there. I recently started looking into anti-corruption instruments such as the UNCAC and during my research stumbled again over IACA. I do not know Richard Eimes, apart from what seems to be visible to other users... |
|||
To me the notion of a post-secondary educational entity run by a world-wide community of states was an exciting idea, and it happened just recently that I started googling and listening around. I find their website very resourceful and like other IOs that's the most authentic place to retrieve information. Just look at the other IO articles and you'll see what I mean. I think it's worth informing the public since it's a good cause (engaging in the fight against corruption, which is omnipresent in all states around the world, not only in Azerbaijan and Russia). Just think of all these big armament-deals made by industrialized states where billions of dollars of tax-payers money are burnt by pre-fixed transactions. |
|||
Regarding my edits: |
|||
Still plenty of issues are unclear for me although I've read all related policies of Wikipedia. |
|||
Why should incorrect information remain, how does that serve the Wikipedia mission? For example IACA has been established in 2011 not in 2010. Typos, removed by me are now reinstated. A reference to an article of the NEWS magazine is simply unrelated to what is stated in the article (revolving door, unusual staff turnover). Please read it yourself and judge. Moreover I thought, even there would be unusual staff turnover (how's that defined), that information about IACA is probably as conclusive or valuable for the community as the daily menue of their canteen, if they have some (unless you're about to get hired). I do understand the criticism on rogue-states and that seems to be supported by the referenced press-sources. I deleted only the details because it repeated the language used in the articles and I thought that's fairly unbalanced to bomb the community with the text of bad press whilst having just one paragraph on the organization itself. To me this article as it stands does not read encyclopedical and informative but clearly aimed at discrediting IACA. Facts are discarded and bad press remains unreviewed. And that would infringe Wiki-ethics. Sufficient information about IACA is available on the web. People like me who know how public IO's work are familiar with founding statutes, facts and data, could be helpful for the encyclopedical Wiki-mission and that's what I tried to share... |
|||
Now here is my point: Is your concern that I'm editing at the IACA-article then I'll move on to any other IO. But that one seemed to be extremely "unusual" and unsourceful compared with those of other IOs such as the UN, the IAEA, UNESCO, ect. |
|||
Hope everthing is clear. Now, again, if this a "hands-off-article" (that's what it apppears to me) then please say it clear and I'll move on...I do not intend spending a lot of time on research about IACA if that is not appreciated. |

Hey Jytdog,
First of all thank you for paying attention to my edits.
I heard about IACA by a diplomat, who I happened to meet at an international convention in early spring 2016 but do not have any relationship to anyone there. I recently started looking into anti-corruption instruments such as the UNCAC and during my research stumbled again over IACA. I do not know Richard Eimes, apart from what seems to be visible to other users...
To me the notion of a post-secondary educational entity run by a world-wide community of states was an exciting idea, and it happened just recently that I started googling and listening around. I find their website very resourceful and like other IOs that's the most authentic place to retrieve information. Just look at the other IO articles and you'll see what I mean. I think it's worth informing the public since it's a good cause (engaging in the fight against corruption, which is omnipresent in all states around the world, not only in Azerbaijan and Russia). Just think of all these big armament-deals made by industrialized states where billions of dollars of tax-payers money are burnt by pre-fixed transactions.
Regarding my edits:
Still plenty of issues are unclear for me although I've read all related policies of Wikipedia.
Why should incorrect information remain, how does that serve the Wikipedia mission? For example IACA has been established in 2011 not in 2010. Typos, removed by me are now reinstated. A reference to an article of the NEWS magazine is simply unrelated to what is stated in the article (revolving door, unusual staff turnover). Please read it yourself and judge. Moreover I thought, even there would be unusual staff turnover (how's that defined), that information about IACA is probably as conclusive or valuable for the community as the daily menue of their canteen, if they have some (unless you're about to get hired). I do understand the criticism on rogue-states and that seems to be supported by the referenced press-sources.
