- Great your expanding it! I have added a worldmap (underlining how many african countries signed....). I might be doing some editing on the side as well... L.tak (talk) 22:11, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Research
Hi! I am a Ph.D student at Northwestern University's School of Communication studying the structure of collaborations around Wikipedia's coverage of breaking news events [1] for my dissertation. You played a very prominent and important role in editing Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster articles following the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. I would like to ask you some more questions about how you became involved in these articles and the work you did for my research. I am happy to talk on your discussion page here, via email, or another channel if you'd prefer. I look forward to hearing from you! Best, Madcoverboy (talk) 07:49, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
- He Brian, Interesting topic for a PhD! Yeah, I was quite a news'y on that topic (although not(/hardly) professionally knowledgeable obout the topic. I am ok with trying to answer questions here, although we might have to find an alternative when personal info is needed (I never edit the topics in the fields that I am working on, as they could out me). I am on holidays at the moment, and internet availability is... variable ;-) L.tak (talk) 00:55, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- Well when you're back from vacation, I would love to find a time to chat via email\IRC\skype. Madcoverboy (talk) 02:25, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Takeaway.com requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Eeekster (talk) 20:24, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notification; replied on your talk page (claim of notification was a bit implicit: market leadership and turnover, which should do for the -low- bar of CSD A7 L.tak (talk) 09:56, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

- Thanks, I replied at the humanities helpdesk; I do think now Greenland and Faroe should be included (and have found a source). L.tak (talk) 19:37, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
Eurasian Patent Convention
Thanks for pointing out that the Director General of WIPO is the depositary of the Eurasian Patent Convention (Article 28 EAPC). Indeed. However, in my opinion, that does not mean that the treaty is administered by WIPO, see http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ which appears to be an exhaustive list. By analogy, the German Government is supposed to register the European Patent Convention with the Secretariat of the United Nations (Article 178(3) EPC). That does not mean that Germany or the United Nations administers the EPC. In my opinion, "administering" means more, i.e. the day-to-day management ("To manage or supervise the conduct, performance or execution of; to govern or regulate the parameters for the conduct, performance or execution of; to work in an administrative capacity." [2]). Cheers, --Edcolins (talk) 21:27, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
- that's a valid viewpoint (which I mostly share). I do think however it is also defendable that a depositary administers a treaty, in the sense that it keeps its most important logs (accessions) and decides about that. I would argue that category membership should not be taken limitatively but if possible also a bit broader, so that people can appreciate articles that in some way group together... L.tak (talk) 21:31, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
- Interesting. In view of Article 77 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties [3], it seems that the functions of a depositary indeed include some sorts of "administering" tasks. Since the Director General of WIPO is the depositary of the Eurasian Patent Convention, it is fair to say that the treaty is administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (unless the Director General of WIPO is outsourcing these tasks to some U.N. personals who are not themselves employees of the WIPO). Anyway, I was relying on the list put together by the WIPO itself: http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ . If the WIPO itself does not consider that they are "administering" the Eurasian Patent Convention, I was assuming that we may just rely on this... Enough hair-splitting, I won't debate this minor issue any longer. For your information: I have also created Category:Treaties of which the Director General of WIPO is the depositary.
