World Trade Organization accession and membership

Hi. You are right that WTO accession needs to be ratified in time by each new entrant. I reverted your edit only because (a) the article already states (above) that "Vanuatu, Russia, Montenegro and Samoa have been admitted, bringing the number of members to 157, subject to those countries' ratification"; and (b) the WTO in its own records lists members at the date of accession, not of formal ratification. If, in the unlikely event that an accepted member failed to ratify, it would be necessary for them to be removed from our list. I hope that you will consider signing on and helping us beef up our little trade project group at the Participants list Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 02:12, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Caffarel

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 Caffarel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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. Wkharrisjr (talk) 16:07, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Seymour Hersh addition on Enhanced Int.

Hi Horatio. I wanted to explain reverting a good faith footnoted edit citing Hersh. He was once a great reporter, and we all admire him for his work in the 1970's at the New Yorker. But in advanced age he seems to have let imagination run ahead of his reporting. We had to delete an inflammatory Hersh claim from Enhanced Interrogation already, when it turned out Hersh was just making it up-- and admitted he was just making it up. That discussion is here. So now we have another inflammatory Hersh claim printed in the London Review of Book to tout his new book coming out, that nobody--not one other source--has corroborated. In fact everybody denies key elements, like the notion that the Pakistanis knew where Bin Laden was. Everybody agrees the Pakistanis were furious we did not let them in on what we suspected, acted without informing them (we did so becuase we did not trust them not to tip him off). So. Normally a statement with a footnote would be left in, but a statement from a once great reporter who the evidence suggests may well be losing his self-control, needs corroboration.ElijahBosley ^{(talk ☞)} 20:46, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

He made the claims, and had them published in a recognised source, and they have been widely reported on, so I see no reason not to mention it. It would be better to leave it there and perhaps add that the claims had denied by <whoever>. Horatio (talk) 03:09, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your response--willcomment on Enhanced Inter. talk page.ElijahBosley ^{(talk ☞)} 14:41, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Léon Guillet moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Léon Guillet, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
