Anti-Corruption Measures[edit]

This is an essay and would require a fundamental rewrite to be encyclopedic. WuhWuzDat 13:22, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: That sounds mighty fimiliar. There may also be a conflict of interest based on the username, I've left a warning but no response. Personally I think someone posted their college paper to the site. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 13:26, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but you wrote the message just some minutes ago, I did already request that the username is changed, but I suppose the request is also not handled in seconds. As for the article, I have deleted the first part, I understand that it is more similar to an essay and maybe too biased. The part about anti-corruption treaties, however, adds something new to the encyclopedia and is only based on facts. Please comment on that and tell me how to improve it! I'm new here, and as I have read wikipedia welcomes the contribution of amateurs (like me), so I am really only trying to help and give people more information. --Fightagainstcorruption (talk) 13:31, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

that is awesome, thanks for letting us know! Have you checked and seen iif any of these intiatives are allready documented here? One of the main problems is that it is redundant many of these allready have their own pages with sufficient detail.

[[1]] [[2]] [[3]] etc, it goes on down the list. Maybe you can make a list of anticorruption laws that link to their pages without the summaries. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 13:36, 24 July 2009 (UTC) Hell In A Bucket (talk) 13:36, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have considerably shortened the article to avoid having the same information as in other entries. I have also created a new article about the African Union Convention about Corruption, because this article still had to be edited. I have also added a "stub" note to this article here, because it needs to be extended. The anti-corruption treaties should now be allright, but I have not added anything about civil society initiatives, etc. I will see if I have time for that soon, and maybe other people will contribute. What do you think about the article now? What should be improved? Thank you for your help! --Fightagainstcorruption (talk) 14:01, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete in its present form. The blue links are distracting and the subject appears to be covered in other articles. Stormbay (talk) 01:35, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again - The reason why I started this Article is the short sentence concerning "fighting corruption" in the Political corruption-article: Mobile telecommunications and radio broadcasting help to fight corruption, especially in developing regions like Africa,[24] where other forms of communications are limited. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_corruption#Fighting_corruption). It does not give a good picture of what is really done, on local, national, regional, international level, to tackle corruption. I think that this short sentence might be misleading, because it omits a lot of things. Should we maybe move the information contained in the present article to this section? --Fightagainstcorruption (talk) 13:09, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
