Talk:Démarche

Error and bias

There is a confusion in this article between a piece of formal correspondence and a diplomatic tactic or manoevre. The meaning of the word "demarche", in Miriam Webster, substantiates these two meanings as:

"1. (a): a course of action (b): a diplomatic or political initiative or maneuver

2. : a petition or protest presented through diplomatic channels"

The article seems to be based upon an attempt to unify these two distinct uses via the etymology of the word, which comes from the French verb for: "to march".

I have taken the liberty of editing the opening paragraph to clarify this.

As there is no ownership here of the tag placed on the article, and therefore now way of knowing if the issue is resolved to the tagger's or Wikipedia's satisfaction, I would like to take ownership of it as the article, through the overwhelming detailed reference to US procedures clearly does not reflect the use of demarches in other countries. There is also no discussion of its place in diplomatic procedures or examples of its use in a series of diplomatic moves. LookingGlass (talk) 12:19, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Diplomatic Note

Is "diplomatic note" a synonym for "démarche"? Squideshi (talk) 19:40, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

This article reads like a US state dept training manual

I know it's easy to complain about and hard to solve problems. But I just want to add input that this whole article has serious problems:

• It's unsourced - no citations
• It reads like it has been copied from someplace else, probably a US gov't document.
• It doesn't include information on a world-wide viewpoint.

I don't really know how to fix it (I was coming to this page to learn about the subject) but I thought I'd at least contribute some input on directions that would help at least this reader. Stevemidgley (talk) 05:55, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
