Talk:D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please be informed that the Developing Eight (D-8)logo that you have on your webpage is incorrect. There should only be 6 (six) red stars under the 8 blue leaves. Those six stars represent the 6 foundation of the establishment of the D-8 organization. Eight smaller stars in an arc-like formation should also be placed approximately over the south-east quadrant of the map on the logo. Eight blue leaves represent each member of the organization. Please duly recheck to the D-8 Secretariat for confirmation. Every correspondence with the Secretariat of the D-8 and the office of the Executive Secretary of the D8 so far always show the abovementioned logo on the letterhead.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Muslim

[edit]

Should mention that 7 of 8 members are Muslim-majority, with the eighth (Nigeria) roughly half-Muslim... AnonMoos 18:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It does seem odd not to mention something about that - have amended first sentence to refer to 'a group of predominantly Muslim developing countries'. From the official site: 'The idea of cooperation among major Muslim developing countries was mooted by Dr. Necmettin Erbakan, the then Prime Minister of Turkey, during a Seminar on "Cooperation in Development" which was held in Istanbul in October 1996.' --Oolong (talk) 14:38, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:D-8.gif

[edit]

Image:D-8.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Turkey

[edit]

Could this be used against Turkey and joining the EU? I mean in order to be in EU, a country must meet a whole bunch of requirements. Norum (talk) 17:31, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

There are plausible reasons for modifying the navbox templates at the bottom of the page at Developing 8 Countries (D-8 or D8). An opportunity for discussion needs to be part of any process which precedes change. Three arguable improvements are:

A. Changing the name of the article, consistent with the group's official website?

the article's could stay the same or it could be reasonably renamed as any of the following:
The best choice, in my opinion, is D-8 with the hyphen; and the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article can mirror the first sentence of the history webpage, e.g.,
"D-8, also known as Developing-8, is an organization for economic cooperation among Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey."

B. Expanding the current navbox by encompassing links to projected articles about the serial D-8 summits, including the 2010 Istanbul meeting this month.

C. Not creating a current leaders navbox?

This is a poor subject for a navbox because leaders change irregularly over time. The functional utility of this navbox is not greater or better than one which only shows member nations.

D. Standardize/harmonize to "D-8" without hyphen?

Only D-8 and G-15 must have a hyphen, consistent with each groups' official website?

E. Perhaps decision-making may be helped by comparing an array of similar groups and templates?

What is the best next step for this article? for similar articles? --Tenmei (talk) 02:53, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Egypt

[edit]

Since Hosni Mubarak is not any longer the President of Egypt, it's ilogical to list him in here as the representant of Egypt in D-8 -- 201.201.28.106 19:09, 18 February 2011

Infobox was modified -- now mirroring recent edits to our article about the President of Egypt. Temporarily showing Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, Mohamed Hussein Tantawi until elections replace the military junta. --Tenmei (talk) 05:30, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved as requested; the titles seem to be used in roughly equal proportions outside of Wikipedia. Dekimasuよ! 19:50, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Developing 8 Countries → D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation – the proposed title is what the organization calls itself on its website, and is the name given in bold at the head of the article. See also Help Desk, second section 10 November : Noyster (talk), 15:37, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
