Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Human rights. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Adopt an article edit

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

Requests edit

  • Human rights in Canada
  • Please move the article Female Genital Cutting to Female Genital Mutilation, this name is correct and encyclopedic, as you see in WHO and UN's articles. Thanks--Taranet (talk) 17:58, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Please assign initial rating to a newly created article Committee of Concerned Scientists. Since I created the article myself, I'd prefer if someone else assigned the rating. Thanks, Nsk92 (talk) 08:59, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Can someone please check Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women against the Good Article criteria? I'm thinking of noming it, but want someone to take a look first to avoid embarassment. --IdiotSavant (talk) 12:34, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Can someone please come to War crimes committed by the United States and try to help come up with a valid definition of "war crime"? There is an editor there whose position is essentially "nothing is a war crime, if it was committed by the U.S.", and he has already changed the definition of war crime during an earlier edit conflict, so that he could say that something that fit the definition was not a "war crime" (Haditha killings). The fact that My Lai and a few crimes from World War II are the only "war crimes" ever committed by the U.S. according to this article, should speak to the need for work to be done to improve it. I think once we've gotten a solid definition down, we can avoid stupid conflicts like "(A) That's not a war crime, because I say so. (B) But the definition in the lead says it is. (A) Well now that I've changed the definition, it no longer fits the definition, so it's not a war crime anymore." Jrtayloriv (talk) 21:15, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Resources edit

At the moment the Washington University in St. Louis [Film and Media Archive] has a collection of interview transcripts that might useful as resources covering the civil rights movement in america until 1965. In the coming months, interviews covering the period from 1965-1985 will become available. The interviews were conducted in the 1980s. These might be useful in providing clearer personal perspectives, and accounts from both big names in particular civil rights struggles and smaller community perspectives from within the movement.
