Organising this article in 2020

[edit]

Thanks to @Amigao: @Mandarax: @Mk270: @Frodo.mintoff: for developing this content. Can I suggest that we build out further material, going off some of the benchmark articles for trans-national and intergovernmental entities, such as ASEAN or even NATO. That would probably mean: 0. Expanded introduction that mentions: statements of purpose (such as from the founding chairs) details on the secretariat. 1. History and context: explaining why founders felt it was necessary, who joined and when. 2. Members and partners: not just the table of people, but also what the connected associations are. 3. Plans and views: this would be an expansion on the purpose with statements on topics such sovereignty for democratic nations and universal human rights.

NPOV

[edit]

This seems to fail the NPOV policy, where it seems to be an advertisement for the group, with plenty of photos that has to do with conflict between China and the West, rather than the IPAC group itself. It also present points of view such as "military occupation of Tibet" and "Chinese expansionism" as factual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.29.8 (talk) 14:37, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Per [[MOS:PERTINENCE], we are supposed to "strive for variety" in choosing our images. This does not mean strictly limiting the article's images to images of the group or its direct work, as for example "[i]f an article on a military officer already shows its subject in uniform, then two more formal in-uniform portraits would add little interest or information, but a map of an important battle and an image of its aftermath would be more informative." Likewise, it may make sense to include images on the page that pertain to to the geopolitical conflict that this organization takes a stake in.
Regarding NPOV, we should add a section on China's response to provide balance. I will try to write one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikehawk10 (talkcontribs) 08:40, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
