Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Project banners

For bilateral relations articles, each article should probably include the banners of the WikiProjects for the two country projects banners in addition to:

{{WikiProject International relations}}

Bilateral relations - sourcing of population numbers

One of the questions generally address in bilateral relations, is how many nationals of one country reside in the other one. Which would be appropriate sources these? The general rule seems to be that census numbers are generally reliable and can be used as such. -- User:Docu (June 15, 2009)

A reliable source for the number of residents registered with a consulate can be the number supplied directly by the representation of the country of origin. -- User:Docu (June 17, 2009)

Bilateral relations - sourcing of the date of recognition

We could use the primary source, i.e. a document from the country that recognizes another one to source this, but a generally a reliable one would be that date supplied by the country that was recognized. -- User:Docu (June 17, 2009)

Indo–Iranian relations

Hi guys, I've just noticed that a history of moves has left an article at Indo-Iranian relations and its talk page at Talk:Indo–Iranian relations. I thought you had a naming convention on the use of hyphen versus dash but I can't see one now, and it may need an admin to make the move but whichever way it goes - the article and its talk page need to end up with the same name. That article is probably worth watchlisting in any case as its a high-profile relationship at the moment with India trying to get round some of the sanctions on Iranian oil.

Great power article

It seems the great power article has been abandoned and it's me against a silly annon IP editor (who I believe to be a well known trouble-maker who's been banned several times for playing similar games in the past). Can someone please assist? Also he's being an idiot with the main template for the great power article (that showing the great powers over time) reverting a perfectly good edit (which puts it all onto one 'view') initially made not by me. Please can I have some assistance? This is a notable article and has been under attack before. David (talk) 21:43, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Indophobia

The article is on anti-Indian sentiments across the world, though it doesn't imply so in the lead. Three quick searches using google books, google scholar and google news has shed a completely new light on the subject. There is hardly any use of the term that relates to any of India's neighbors - Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, or Sri lanka. It is a concept from 19th century, and the only significant 20th century use is pertinent to Eastern Africa. Putting together all instances of anti-indian sentiments across South Asia may be an example of WP:SYNTH (there in more reference to Indophobia associated with Papua New Guinea than Bangladesh). Making the collection of those instances the larger part of the article may be an example of WP:UNDUE. The material on those sentiments and instances are good to be merged into individual foreign relation articles. May be this is another misunderstanding like Indosphere.

Self determination

Saw a request for review of this article back in 2006 in the international law WP. Didn't have time to review it myself now, but agreed it's subject fell within IL. Though I haven't been involved with this WP, I didn't see how the subject would not be of interest to the IR WP. The article currently has a C class from prior reviews. I set importance as high, but would not disagree with a top importance. IMHO (talk) 19:56, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Pacific Century

I'm about to take a look at it. Anyone fancy giving me a hand on it is welcome! ~ Iloveandrea (talk) 21:05, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Globalization proposal

Hi WikiProject International relations members, A few of us are trying to get a WikiProject Globalization up and running. Members of this project would work together to improve the quality of articles on Wikipedia on Globalization, global issues and related topics. If you're interested in globalization, please come by and check out our proposal. We'd appreciate any feedback about our ideas, and of course your support if you were interested in lending it. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 11:25, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

A few discussions that may be of interest

1. deletion review of Politics in the British Isles
2. Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2012_May_21#Politics_of_the_British_Isles

Both of these discussions (article and category) have to do with whether geography (in this case, the British isles) is a useful and notable way to categorize or discuss politics. --KarlB (talk) 03:38, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
