Talk:The Elders (organization)

message: I removed the reference to there being 12 Elders, because even counting Aung San Suu Kyi, there were still only 11 mentioned. - Mark Dixon 11:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: "most people do not descirbe Jimmy Carter and Kofi Annan as statesman." Perhaps the most pathetic Talk Page comment in the history of Wikipedia. Seriously, learn to spell and use proper grammar. Stonemason89 (talk) 18:37, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The section "Middle East Mission" mentions that the mission will take place, but the dates doesn't include the year.
The references indicates that the year is 2008 and since that was last year the section needs to be reworked, maybe it should also include a report from the mission.

thread_title:  Section  Middle East Mission 

message: The current description is based on reporting of the launch in 2007 and no longer accurately reflects the organisation's stated aims and priorities. I would suggest changing it to read as follows:
The Elders is an international non-government organisation of public figures noted as elder statesmen, peace activists, and human rights advocates, launched by Nelson Mandela in 2007. The group's aim is to "offer their collective influence and experience to support peace-building, help address major causes of human suffering and promote the shared interests of humanity."Citations:http://www.theElders.org/eldershttp://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2007/07/2008525185617346150.html
Note: I have removed the reference to 'global' Elders - please see discussion topic 'Title of Article'. (Ldickinson (talk) 15:38, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Introductory paragraph 

message: I have updated the Background section to reflect the current membership of the group. Previous entry only highlighted those Elders present at the announcement in 2007. (Ldickinson (talk) 15:41, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I have been in email contact with The Elders, asking why the group is not growing. According to their volunteers, no expansion of the group and no further invitations into the group are planned, yet it is clear that the group shall grow. I strongly suspect that the Group will stay as it is as long as none of The Elders dies. It gives the current Elders a reason to keep on living. If you do the actuarial tables, or life tables, you will see that the current situation, that none of The Elders died so far, is highly improbable. Chances that one of The Elders will die within the next year are high. I suspect that when one of The Elders dies, immediately between one and three new members will be invited into the group. I also suspect that when one of The Elders dies, especially when it becomes clear that the group can cope with that tragic event, the chance of others passing away might skyrocket. 
So in case of death, assume more changes to follow up. Assume, and look for, new invites into The Elders, unfortunately also look for more death. 178.2.53.85 (talk) 03:58, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
