thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Somebody should update and correct the Committee membership and number of states parties - there are now 172 ICCPR state parties, I believe, and at least the Japanese member has left, Yuval Shany is now chair, and the previous German member has been replaced by another German.

thread_title: More necessary fixes

message: Suggestion - I think the "notable jurisprudence" section is unbalanced.  The Committee has done thousands of cases, and this section arbitrarily picks about five of them, at least some of which don't seem particularly significant, and goes into way too much detail on that tiny portion of them.  I propose changing this section to a table or bulleted list of the Committee cases that have Wikipedia entries (there about about a dozen), listed in chronological order, and for each have case name (linked to its Wikipedia page), country involved, year, and issue addressed (in ten words or fewer).  Do others agree?

replies: text: I agree with that. We probably should be doing likewise with the 36 general comments. ImTheIP (talk) 17:35, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Fix Notable Jurisprudence section

message: I tried to resolve another major issue with this page - its section on Individual Complaints was too long, repetitive, and poorly organized.  Many statements were lacking citations, those citations it had were outdated and needed the Wayback Machine, the model form it cited was for the wrong committee, and some information was no longer accurate.  I tried my hand at a major reorganization and update.  Reactions and improvements welcome, of course.
Next, bigger project would be to do the same kind of thing to the section on state reports.

thread_title: Individual Complaints section redone

message: I tried to improve the material at the end of the article, along lines of other recent fixes, as follows:
*Deleted "bibliography" section that misleadingly and inappropriately had one apparently random textbook on human rights, not specific to HR Committee or ICCPR.
*In "External Links," kept first link to committee page.
*Updated link to ICCPR from a Wayback Machine page.
*Added link to First Optional Protocol; no sense to have Second here, not First which is significant to the Committee.
*"Members" link went to a Wayback page; outdated, but useful for history; kept the link but explained its significance.
*Added explanation of the point of UN Treaty link
*Deleted "OHCHR" link which was a repeat link to the Wayback Machine page on Committee membership, same as "Members" link.
*Deleted "Atlas of Torture" link which was broken and seemed not of general, broad relevance to the topic.
*Deleted "UNGA Resolution Guide" for same reasons.

thread_title: Fix end material

message: I have been working bit by bit to improve this Wikipedia page since 2018.  This was the last remaining and largest section to fix.  As with other sections, I tried to reorganize it for sense, cut unnecessary or redundant material, and update.  Reactions welcome.
