Talk:Doha Declaration on the TRIPS agreement and public health

message: I updated the page to be contemporaneous with the current state of affairs surrounding the DOHA Declaration in its relation to TRIPS (particularly with regards to access to medicines).
I'm somewhat surprised however, to discover that this page is of 'low importance' as it is a multilateral international step towards providing better access to medicine for all, over money considerations and the accepted traditions of intellectual property.
If I may, shall I write a small critique on the importance of the declaration and its hoped-for impact on things such as the African Aids crisis as well as its attempt to help with malaria and TB in Africa? I could support it with the reasoning put forward by the WTO etc.

message: :"We instruct the Council for TRIPS to find an expeditious solution to this problem and to report to the General Council before the end of 2002."
To put it bluntly, did they? (It is perhaps one of the web's greatest weaknesses right now that the majority of technologies do not encourage links pointing forward in time.) 
I first found an Oxfam America article stating that talks broke down in 2002, but providing no detail or references. Looking a bit further, though, I turned up this set of pages, particularly this one, with plenty of links - but still seeming to end at 2005, and with no clear summary.
Does anyone know of a nice overview of events & decisions since the declaration, or fancy wading through the CPTech stuff to create one? - IMSoP 21:20, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

message: "member states in circumventing patent rights for better access to essential medicines."
--> As patents are territorial rights, there can be no such a thing as "circumvention". Either there are rights or there are no rights under national law. circumvention is also an inappropriate term for post grant limitations. Arebenti (talk) 09:22, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Cumulative voting

message: Why was Cummulative Voting abolished in English School Boards.
Since FPTP is a cruder system, that in name of "strong majority" kicks the weak opposition off, how did CumV get replaced?
Remember that according to the principles of good governance, a strong opposition is needed to keep the overstrong government accountable.
Syd1435 03:44, 2004 Nov 23 (UTC)
The article does not say that the voting was abolished.  Perhaps it was the school boards which were abolished (and replaced by county councils).  --Henrygb 10:35, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Leord Redhammer (talk) 03:00, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cunningham's Law 

message: I have read several sources that Cunningham was the one who coined the term: Technical Debt. Se eg: https://wiki.c2.com/?WardExplainsDebtMetaphor or https://www.agilealliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IntroductiontotheTechnicalDebtConcept-V-02.pdf . I think this is worthy of a topic in the article. Since this is a much more common expression than eg Cunningham's Law. Quote from agilealliance.org:
"Since Ward first used this metaphor, which he called 'Technical Debt', it has gained momentum. While people still disagree about the exact definition of technical debt, the core concept identifies a serious problem that many software teams are struggling to manage. Ward used it the first time when he was developing a financial application in Smalltalk. He wanted to justify to his boss the refactoring they were doing, so he used a financial analogy: 'If we failed to make our program align with what we then understood to be the proper way to think about our financial objects, then we were going to continue to stumble on that disagreement which is like paying interest on a loan.'" 98.128.229.44 (talk) 14:48, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

message: I believe the name of the article should be "Plant biology" rather than Botany. As a biologist I come across the first term more.

Wikipedia talk:Writing better articles/Check your fiction

message: At present there are many articles in the Wikipedia namespace that seek to give guidance on how to write better articles. I propose consolidating these into a much smaller number. On User:Jongarrettuk/Better writing guide I propose how these could be consolidated. The proposal is not to change advice, just to consolidate it. If I have inadvertently moved what you consider to be good advice that is currently in the Wikipedia namespace, please re-add it. I'm hope that the proposal to merge all these articles, in principle, will be welcomed. Of course, it may be preferred to have 2, 3 or 4 inter-connected articles than just one and would welcome advice on how this could be done. (In particular, perhaps all the guidance on layout should be spun off into one consolidated article on layout.) I'm also aware that putting lots of different bits of advice together may throw up anomalies or bits that people now disagree with (including bits that I myself disagree with:) ). I ask for support for the consolidation. Once the consolidation has happened, the advice can be changed in the normal way. Please feel free to improve on the current draft consolidation, but don't remove or add advice that is not currently on the Wikipedia namespace. If all goes well, I'll add a new Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles page on the 19th, though maybe some bits of the new article will need to be phased in over a longer period. I'll also take care to preserve all the archived discussion in one place. jguk 20:00, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: Time and again, I run across video-game articles that do not use present tense to describe the plots of the games. I'm trying to correct these as I find them, but there are so many that it's a losing battle. Would it be out of line if I added a note to the "Check your fiction" section that the perpetual present tense applies to video games as well? And on a related topic -- this present tense should extend to explanations of gameplay, as well (if I put in Super Mario Bros. today, it plays the same as it did in 1985). Is this the appropriate place to mention this, or can anyone point me elsewhere? Thanks . . . . Amcaja 20:04, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

message: This page needs to be broken-up. The question is, what should we name each Treaty of Paris? Should we use more natural disambiguation such as Treaty of Paris of 1783 or should we use parenthetical disambiguation such as Treaty of Paris (1783)? I would tend to prefer the parenthetical route because the two "of"s bug me and each of these treaties are usually just called the Treaty of Paris and the pipe trick can be used with parentheticals (  ->  Treaty of Paris ). --mav

I agree on the use of parentheses. It's cleaner.
In addition, I notice lots of treaties that do not follow the "Treaty of Paris" naming which is pertinent to this article. I think the rest should be separated and placed into another article.
