Talk:Nuclear-free zone

message: Isn't it interesting that the only source for a loaded statement that relates to India like the one under "South Asia" is a statement by Pakistan? It seems like it should definitely get removed or justified with a neutral source.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.232.221.14 (talk) 21:00, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: South Asia - "Surprise Use"?

message: The symbolic use of the term by some left-wing local authorities is worth a mention, and does not seem appropriate for Wiktionary. I've made a start on that, perhaps it can be elaborated. User:Flagboy
Are you suggesting that the notion of peace and disarmament is solely one for the lefty, by this inference you are saying that the right are a bunch on mindless warmongers? Mombas 01:10, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: symbolic use of the term

message: "The passing of the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament, and Arms Control Act in 1987 was a milestone in New Zealand's development as a nation that can create its own destiny, think for itself, and support the principles of peace and safety for all peoples." If this sentence is not POV, I don't know what is. If this act of New Zealand's parliament is truly such a milestone, then it would not be necessary to point it out. When I have the time I will ferret out and rectify this and other POV issues in the article. Jason Jones 17:25, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The New Zealand section of the article couldn't be more in violation of NPOV. There is limited citation and it basically consists of a rant against nuclear weapons and American foreign policy. I would be happy with quotes from the people passing the legislation (There is one quote ending with " but without a corresponding set to show where the quote starts). And surveys, even newspaper articles on NZ opinion which are cited would be fine. But at the moment it is ridiculous Yank-bashing. Jameskeates 11:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: POV issues

message: The quote about ships needing to dock outside Esquimalt because of a by-law is silly. First of all, Esquimalt, like all BC cities, doesn't have jurisdiction past the water line. Second, there is no source cited. Will be removed unless source cited.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.156.123.131 (talk) 08:58, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Jones, you are quite right that Wikipedia is not the appropriate forum to debate political preferences. Having said this though it’s abundantly clear you have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever on the nuclear free zone issue, this supported by the fact that you have not contributed one iota to this article other than to sit back and whine! Again I reiterate and would suggest that your editing skills may be better served on subjects that have no basis in reality or history. Good Luck. Mombas 07:30, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Definitely an improvement on when I read it before, although it'd still be better with some citations. And sentences about it being a major development in New Zealand becoming a country that thinks for itself ect sound like a political broadcast. Even adding in an 'it was seen as' would make it better though again I'd prefer a quote.Jameskeates 07:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  TfD nomination of [[:Template:{{ucfirst:Dmoz2}}]] 

message: The lede specifies that a nuclear-free zone is where "nuclear weapons and nuclear power are banned" (emp. added) However some of the examples listed don't specifically refer to the banning of nuclear weapons/power, but simply of their non-use. For example, Austria is said to have become nuclear free when construction of a nuclear plant was stopped, as opposed to any mention of passage of a law banning nuclear plants. The section for Australia lists a great number of things, but an explicit legislative ban on nuclear power is not one of them (indeed, the section makes it sounds like there isn't one). The section for South Asia doesn't even mention bans, prohibitions or conventions at all. -- 174.24.206.145 (talk) 18:50, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Indeed.  Another thing that should be pointed out is many of these "nuclear-free zones", which in some cases absolutely prohibit the use and transportation of nuclear materials, continue to use medical isotopes for cancer treatment and imaging that can only be made with a nuclear reactor.  This article seems to deem anything with the slightest bit of anti-nuclear activity as a nuclear free zone (two billboards?  really?), when in reality, there are no nuclear free zones, as no one will give up the use of medical isotopes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.174.29.144 (talk) 00:08, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the definition is incorrect.  Nuclear-free zones can come in many forms.  The description of New Zealand's zone is also incorrect. There was no direct association between nuclear ship (as it realy was) free status and "renouncing the nuclear deterrent". Furthermore NZ had ceased to be "Western-allied", effectively withdrawing from Anzus as a result of adopting the policy - which is contrary to what the article implies.124.197.15.138 (talk) 21:57, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Ireland should be added to the list as there are no nuclear power stations on the island and the Republic has no nuclear weapons and is not a full member of NATO. Northern Ireland while part of the United Kingdom has never had any nuclear installations or (as far as is publicly known) weapons based there. A plan to build a nuclear power station at Carnsore Point back in the 1970's was abandoned and current legislation in the Republic makes the construction of suck plant illegal. 2.123.243.182 (talk) 11:50, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

message: It is not clear whether all of those nuclear free zones amalgamate WMDs and electricity generation.
Likewise, the inclusion of Italy and Austria is dubious. While they currently have no active atomic power station, those countries are part of the Synchronous grid of Continental Europe and therefore do use atomic electricity. Besides, Italy is a full member of NATO.
Similar concerns would apply to nordic countries and Australia and New-Zeland.
It would seem that this article still require significant efforts before reaching WP:NPOV. Noliscient (talk) 10:54, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
