message: This page needs a "Controversy" section!  I went here looking to see if there was information to give me an idea of weather I can trust the IAEA, or if they are an incompetent and corrupt as the UN themselves.  I wish I could help with a contribution, but as I said, I went here looking for answers! :-)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.33.156.186 (talk) 15:05, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Iran was "reported", not "referred" to the Security Concil. IAEA still has the Iran issue on its hands. In March 2006 it will vote about weather to refer Iran to the SC or not. 80.71.114.32 23:11, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I am new to Wikipedia, so I decided to look at the article on a subject I am familiar with.  This article presents a few random facts related to the IAEA, but conveys no real sense of what the organization does.  Readers would be far better advised simply to go to the IAEA's own web site.  It's not the easiest site to navigate, but with a little patience you will do far better than trying to learn from this article.
Lol, I agree with you, but maybe you could expand it a little? Genjix 14:20, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I had written earlier:
There are, I think, two main issues with this article, i.e. 1) there is a discussion of specific current events (Iran) the choice of which seems arbitrary and 2) it discusses the 49th General Conference while, I believe, a more general mention of GC's would be warranted. Perhaps I'll edit that. And I notice that while safeguards are mentioned, there is no article on IAEA safeguards per se.--Nicsilo 04:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Specifically, what clean up needs to be done on the Works Cited section? I know the links and the info are good, I cut and pasted directly from a paper I wrote. Is it a question of format (currently the links are basically Turabian style, a standard Poly Sci style)? 
It's helpful to be as specific as possible when making a request, posting specifics in the discussion page is also encouraged. 
The person wrote the above please identify yourself after your inserts.
I've done the cleanup of the Work Cited section it is now in simple readable format. --Caddix 08:53, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone recently changed the map, which prompted me to take a look.  I couldn't see what had been changed, but I noticed one error: Switzerland is color coded as if it were not a member of the IAEA.

message: I'm putting an Expert tag on this article because there is zero explanation of what the IAEA does.  All that is mentioned, once and briefly, is that a nation has to sign onto the IAEA Statute - no mention whatsoever of the world-wide reactor inspections to prevent nuclear proliferation.  The NNPT wasn't even in the article until I just now put it into the See Also. Simesa (talk) 09:51, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Functions of IAEA still missing

message: This page has been added to the Barack Obama WikiProject.  I'm not sure why or what that entails, but it appears that the purpose of the project designation is to provide explanatory context in the IAEA article for the Obama Administration's position.  The explanatory comment says "This measure is specifically mentioned in the Obama agenda, which apparently refers to the position in the transition web site change.gov (which has now been transferred to the whitehouse site whitehouse.gov):
*Strengthen the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA): Seek to ensure that the Agency gets the authority, information, people, and technology it needs to do its job.
This it is a shortened version of a position from Obama's campaign site barackobama.com:
*Strengthen the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA): The IAEA is understaffed and underresourced at a time when demand for its expertise are growing. Barack Obama and Joe Biden will seek to ensure that the Agency gets the authority, information, people, and technology it needs to do its job.  They will work to double the IAEA budget in the next four years (increasing the U.S. annual share to about $225 million). They will press countries to adopt the “Additional Protocol,” -- which grants the IAEA the right to conduct more intrusive inspections, including at undeclared facilities — and seek agreement among members of the Nuclear Suppliers Group not to transfer nuclear technology to NPT countries that have not adopted the Additional Protocol. They will work to gain agreement on effective global standards for nuclear safety and security. And they will call for establishing IAEA verification procedures that go beyond the Additional Protocol to strengthen the agency’s ability to detect clandestine facilities and activities.
There are also several other statements of position relevant to the IAEA on both sites.  But there are also Obama campaign and administration positions that are equally relevant to other pages (for example the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and Nuclear disarmament).  This leads me to ask several questions:
*Should the project look at both the campaign and whitehouse web sites?
*From the perspective of the Barack Obama WikiProject, what information is missing from this article?
*Given the incomplete nature of the selection of relevant articles so far, how should relevant articles be selected?

message: This is such a spotless, hygienic, bureaucratic page. You'd have a hard time telling that the IAEA is known as a pooh-pooher about Chernobyl, endlessly denying that serious numbers of deaths were involved, ignoring inconvenient papers. See for example: http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/0,1518,411684,00.html, especially the 3rd part: The IAEA's nuclear experts say that Chernobyl has claimed 56 lives to date -- 47 workers at the disaster site and nine children who have since died of thyroid cancer.
: And you have a hard time telling that the IAEA saves thousands of lives a year by running safe irradiation plants. It's a hygienic, bureaucratic page for a hygienic, bureaucratic organization. But, hey, if you want to write a NPOV addition to the article about the IAEA response to Chernobyl, it would be useful, instead of whining here that the article doesn't follow your POV.--Prosfilaes (talk) 14:27, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

message: in fact, searching the page for the term "Israel" yields no results anywhere.  that seems like a deficiency.
Israel's position vis-à-vis the IAEA is arguably among the most important aspects of this topic.

replies: text: The "membership" section lists countries that are not IAEA members, so it is entirely appropriate that Israel not be mentioned there.

message: An editor has repeatedly added to the initial infobox the names of the IAEA in French and then in all six official languages.  This is just unnecessary clutter on this English language article.  I would propose to add a line to the infobox listing official languages and linking to the corresponding articles in those languages.  I'm not adept and infoboxes so it would take me some time to figure out how to do this.
A related problem is that this page uses the United Nations infobox template.  This is inaccurate because the IAEA is not a UN organization.  It was established independently through the IAEA Statute in 1957.  Although the Statute does establish some ties to the UN, and the IAEA has an association agreement with the UN, the IAEA remains an independent international organization.  Is there another infobox template that will eliminate the UN logo without dropping the other fields? NPguy (talk) 14:39, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

message: The IAEA has two "Regional Safeguards Offices" which are located in Toronto, Canada, and in Tokyo, Japan. The IAEA also has two liaison offices which are located in New York City, United States, and in Geneva, Switzerland.
Only IAEA insiders could precisely distinguish a "regional safeguards" office from a "liaison" office. For the rest of us, this is pure bureaucratic jargon.
