Talk:Conscientious objection throughout the world

message: We need more countries described here, so far we've got only three and one of those is an ex-nation. --Agamemnon2 06:14, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Military of Greece article contains this link: Greek anti-conscription/conscientious objector website. Perhaps someone do something with it. See also Conscription_in_Greece#Concientious objectors. JonHarder 19:24, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I've changed the figure of insumisos who publicly declared themselves from "tens" to !"thousands".  The anthology produced by the Movimiento Objeción de Conciencia in 2002, En legítima desobediencia: Tres décadas de objeción, insumisión y antimilitarismo (Traficantes de Sueños) contains a chronology of insumisión with the following figures (pp.323-327): 
1989 - first two insumisos sentence to 13 months in prison
1990 - 2,450 insumisos, 130 of them arrested
1991 - first sentences of two years, four months and 1 day 
1992 - 107 trials against insumisos
1995 - 348 insumisos in prison, and introduction of New Penal Code (punishing insumisión with inhabilitación) 
2000 - 460 insumisos inhabilitados (declared unfit for public service) have the duration of this prohibtion reduced to 4 years
2002 - there was an amnesty for 4000 insumisos who had been tried and some 20 insumiso-desertores,
Xabier Agirre Aranburu, Rafael Ajangiz, Pedro Ibarra and Rafal Sainz de Rozas, La insumisión: un singular ciclo histórico de desobediencia civil (Tecnos, 1998) gives the following figures for imprisoned insumisos - 17 in 1992, 157 in 1993, 165 in 1994, 282 in 1995 and 315 in 1996

message: I added a section on Britain in the Conscientious objector page, without even realising that this page existed.  It didn't show up on the search.  I have now added cross-links between the two and also to Conscription .
A full edit would be a good idea.  But it would best be done by someone researching the topic a bit and adding new material as well as shuffling what already exists.  I have other priorities and no easy access to a major library which would have the standard books on the matter.

thread_title:  Three pages with a lot of overlap 

message: Have a look at William Tebb - the assertion in the BMJ that the term was introduced into English law as a result of arguments over vaccination seems likely to be true.
Did the rest of the world follow on, or evolve the concept and laws about it independently?Midgley 18:45, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Only military?  

message: I feel it'd be a good idea to break off sections, such as Civilian service in Finland which have significant independent-article potential. On that note, the article on Civilian service needs to be addressed and expanded significantly. --Agamemnon2 09:30, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reorganization of Civilian service articles 

message: There should be included an external link to the international "Manifesto against conscription and the military system" (with a list of all signatories between 1993 and 2007), official website: http://home.snafu.de/mkgandhi/manifest.htm. Chrbartolf 13:44, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Manifesto 

message: These three pages still overlap a lot - it would be better either to merge this page and Conscientious objector, or take some parts out of that page and move them here. What do people think?Hopsyturvy 08:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
