original council proposal discussion for Foreign relations
- Description
- This WikiProject will aim to focus on articles that not much people really focus on. This Project will have 3 different kinds of articles under its scope: foreign relations, diplomats, and international meetings. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- Foreign relations - United States-Australia relations/Australia-New Zealand relations/Foreign relations of Azerbaijan
- Diplomats - Batyr Berdiyev/Hersey Kyota/Sayyid Faisal Bin Ali Bin Faisal Al-Said
- International Meetings - Millennium Summit/2005 World Summit/Shamrock Summit/Summit of the Americas
- Edits made to WP articles are heavily focused towards topics regarding the US, UK, and other major English-speaking countries here in the English WP. This project will focus on foreign relations between...let's say-Samoa and Palau. The project would attempt to create a centralized list of further branching list of all ambassadors from all countries. It would also attempt to create a detailed account of any international meetings, such as those listed above.
- I realize that most of this project's work would overlap into other WikiProjects. But an American Wikiproject can't possible form a United States-Australian relations without the assistance of the Australian Wikiproject! Therefore, I think that the Foreign relations WikiProject could also be a place where country-related Wikiprojects could meet together and discuss.--Ed 15:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

- Comments
- I like the idea. I wonder how it would relate to the proposed "Diplomatic Missions by Country" proposal higher on this page, though. John Carter 15:36, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- I like the broader scope of this Project, and believe it has more appeal than the abovementioned Diplomatic Missions by Country. In the long run, broader is better and stands a better chance of survival, given the inactive narrower projects. Chris 21:39, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Cool
Now we can start those 40,000 articles on bilateral relations!--Pharos 00:21, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- I received an inquiry on my talk page, and yes, I'm quite serious about that figure, actually. With about 200 countries, and each state actor having a significant relationship with every other one, we really should ideally have 40,000 (200 x 200) individual articles on bilateral relations. Anyone care to get started on Andorra-Tuvalu relations?--Pharos 04:40, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
