			Hello, I don’t know if this is the proper place to write but I’m so desperate for your help if you could possibly help. The past couple of years I have been getting videos of baby primates in Cambodia being so abused. Their being terribly abused,neglect,beaten, emotionally depressed, and sexually abused I don’t follow or like these videos I have blocked around 1,200 of them but they change names and back on….. I have learned I think these monkeys are endangered monkeys in that country. I know they have monkey farms their also and the poachers takes all the adult primates to the monkey farms for money,they ripped away these babies from their mothers and show up in boxes at the people’s homes where they dress them up cute or very mean to them even trying to drown them in some videos to make money off the videos than when they get to big they drop them out like trash in Angkor Wats Temple park, these poor babies maybe 3 months old they wasn’t taught no kind of survival skill how to hunt for their food nothing!! This is when KT and her husband comes in and they start videoing these abandon young primates for their videos to make money..they cause more fights at the park there she brings one bottle when there is 4-6 babies that’s hungry and they are fighting over one bottle to make people so upset and mad where it causes ugly fights with people on their videos and most monkeys gets badly hurt….. this is when WCPO comes in and they scream donations donations donations, now they want money!! Now everyone knows what’s going on now we know WCPO isn’t real when they claimed to be a vet, hospital but can’t give you their address or the name of the veterinary why should you hide this kind of information not unless your doing something illegal!! All of this is causing terrible fights on their videos it’s been threats name calling it’s terrible…. You see most of this hateful animal abuse doesn’t go against facebook community standards BUT it goes against my STANDARDS I’m against animal abuse!! I suffer from depression PTSD and I hate seeing this coming across my stuff.The people in Cambodia and it’s government officials and the King should want their country to be beautiful for people to come on vacation but all it’s doing is keeping many away. I sure hope this is settled fast or I’m going to sue the country for my health it’s causing me some bad problems I don’t like..I’m writing the President of the UNITED STATES next. I sure hope you can put a end to this mess!! Thank you, Cynthia Collier ] (]) 11:15, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
	:You should have kept reading for a rule more specific to this case. "Avoid the use of acronyms in page naming unless the term you are naming is almost exclusively known only by its acronym." Unlike ], ], and ], the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization is certainly not '''only''' known by its acronym. ] 21:02, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

	::But it is "almost exclusively known" by its acronym, which is what the guideline actually says. ] 21:41, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

	:Yes. News stories routinely refer to "UNESCO" without explaining what the acronym stands for... just go to http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=UNESCO and you can see that almost no news stories in major news media expand the acronym. This is very similar to ], which is also at the non-acronym version, and also very similar to ]; perhaps not coincidentally, NASA and AIDS and UNESCO are all pronounced as words rather than spelled out as individual letters, and unlike "UN" or "WTO", there is no other "UNESCO" that could cause confusion or require disambiguation.

	:See also the "use common names section" of ]: the most common name is indeed "UNESCO". We routinely use the most common name, thus for instance ] and not "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" (which probably exists but only as a redirect to ]).

	:The article seems to have been at "UNESCO" for a while, and you changed it to the full version only today.

	::But one-tenth means that it isn't "almost exclusively" known by the acronym as the guideline says. I'm sure that the portions for ] or ] would be less than one-hundredth. It's too bad that the guideline isn't more specific. ] 04:12, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

	== UNESCO logo composed of 3 parts ==

	The use of the name and logo of UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, is subject to rules laid down by the governing bodies of the Organization.


	The UNESCO logo block is composed of three parts:
	1. the emblem - the temple - including the UNESCO acronym;
	2. the complete name (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in one or several languages;
	3. a dotted line in a logarithmic progression.
	These components cannot be disassociated.

	== Practicalities ==

	What is apparent as you travel in the third world is the immense good done by UNESCO in countries that lack higher-level education apparatus and lack cultural conservation institutions.

	== Official languages in infobox ==

	I cannot figure out how to make an attractive and functional hideable section for the other languages at the top of the infobox (like the one at ], which is unfortunately based on a different template). I am going to remove them to this page until someone has a good idea. The problem is that the name is quite long in some of the languages, which upsets the formatting of the box. Most UN Org pages seem to have only the English name, with the exception of ], which has a short enough name not to cause trouble. Languages other than the official six have no place there at all, such as the Greek and Persian that were recently added.

	'As a consequence of its entry into the United Nations, the People's Republic of China has been the only legitimate representative of China at UNESCO since 1971.'

	== U.S. funding and Palestinian state ==

	This story in the Wall Street Journal, discusses the Palestinian request for UNESCO to recognize Palestine as a state:

	OCTOBER 29, 2011

	"Two U.S. laws, passed in the early 1990s, require the U.S. to cease funding in any U.N.-affiliated body that accepts Palestinian membership. The U.S. accounts for 22% of Unesco's budget, by far its largest source, amounting to $71.8 million for 2011."

	This issue probably belongs in the article. What are those two U.S. laws? --] (]) 14:55, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

	As it looks right now, the US is withdrawing funding because Palestine is recognized by UNESCO as a member. http://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/umstrittener-un-antrag-unesco-nimmt-palaestina-als-vollmitglied-auf-1.1177506
	It really is puzzling, because such a membership does not affect US policies at all, and does not even imply that Palestine can be full member of the United Nations. Other nations have joined UNESCO before without being a full member of the United Nations. And now in the aftermath of the "Arab spring" it seems even weirder, twisted, really. And who created these US laws that address UNESCO membership of other nations? ] (]) 21:56, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

	Thanks for those—isn't Google translate useful? The examples certainly allow an inference of notability, but an inference is akin to ] and we can't rely on that.

	But luckily we don't have to: The guideline distinguishes between "established articles that are bloated with event-specific facts at the expense of longstanding content, … considered a Misplaced Pages fault" on the one hand and "producing encyclopedia-quality articles in real time about ongoing events" on the other. ] is an article about a longstanding institution, whereas ] is about a real-time ongoing event. The material seems fully acceptable in the context of that "real-time ongoing event" and my original question—why here and not on the ]—remains unanswered.

	I'd be very happy to join you in looking at the Palestinian youth magazine material, at some stage, but I can't manage more that one thing at a time, these days. --] (]) 21:26, 16 February 2012 (UTC)


	::Haven't you already conceded, that ] applies for the discussion about the ] article? Please put your discussion about that article on its talk page, thank you. Regarding ], I don't see how adding the Wikileaks conference controversy would be at "expense of longstanding content". I don't plan to remove any longstanding content. ] certainly doesn't apply. Here is another article from the 2nd largest Spanish newspaper El Mundo: http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/notas/830601.html --] 10:10, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

	:As I've said on this talk page before, I feel that a ''controversy'' section places too much emphasis on a particular point of view; moreover it encourages further introduction of similar material as readers may see the section and feel that since that's the layout of the article then it should be encouraged. Not that controversies shouldn't be mentioned, but surely it should be worked into the narrative of a ''history' section or something similar where a balanced view of the organisation's history can be presented. That might help weighing up whether these individual incidents, such as the youth magazine mentioned above, is really worth including.
	:On this particular issue, it seems to be just another news story and not that significant (yet). Wikileaks makes good news stories and the subject of freedom of speech is guaranteed to generate interest among readers, but just because it's got coverage doesn't make it noteworthy and I support Denic's removal of the subsection. I feel that in any case there was far too much on the incident, which supports the argument that recentism is an issue, and it surely could have been summarised in a sentence or two. Perhaps it's worth mentioning in the Wikileaks article, but it doesn't seem that important in an article about UNESCO itself. ] (]) 21:58, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
	::How is it, that you consider that controversy "not that significant (yet)"? For the Wikileaks controversy we have "The Hindu", "La Republica" and "El Mundo" reporting, whereas the Palestinian youth magazine controversy is only sourced with a single "The Telegraph" article. If it's not coverage that makes something noteworthy, what would make it noteworthy? How do you decide?--] 10:19, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

	Here is another source ("The Independent") reporting on the controversy: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/politics/wikileaks-takes-aim-at-an-unlikely-new-victim-unesco-6989034.html#disqus_thread How many sources do you need before you recognize, that it is notable? --] 12:23, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

	There are no grounds for removing materials related to the UNESCO 'Wikileaks' Conference controversy as long as they are appropriately sectioned. ] (]) 08:10, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

	::I'm sorry ], but you lost the argument. There are now at least five major newspapers reporting that story, which does make it noteworthy. At least more noteworthy than the Palestinian youth magazine controversy. This shows an imbalance in the controversy section of ]. We now either have to remove that controversy or we add the Wikileaks controversy in order to fix that.--] 19:22, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Proposal to improve the "activities" part

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hi, Here is a proposal to improve the "activities" part. Could you proofread it? Thank you a lot, Regards, (E.poul (talk) 13:28, 9 March 2023 (UTC))

@E.poul: The major issue in your proposed article/prose is the lack of secondary and reliable sources throughout. Almost every reference is either a UNESCO-affiliated site, or UNESCO-published book/journal, etc. Please see Misplaced Pages's guideline on usage of primary sources —CX Zoom 16:10, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello CX Zoom,

This document aims to correct the "activities" part of the UNESCO page, which is not up to date. Therefore, the information includes only a small part of the subjects dealt with by the organisation.

The aim of this work is to enrich the existing content and to correct it.

In order to be as accurate and concise as possible, the work is based on 164 sources, and since we are talking about UNESCO's activities, the most reliable sources are mainly publications or research produced by UNESCO on the subjects concerned. However, in order to comply with the rules of the platform, 50 sources out of 164 sources are secondary references, whose researchers, authors or journalists are not affiliated with UNESCO. These sources represent a total of more than 30% of the references used. They have been carefully selected and come mainly from ResearchGate, JSTOR, Cairn and also include links to the websites of the major events mentioned.

I hope that this clarification will best explain the high regard I have for the rules of the platform and I remain at your disposal for any discussion on this subject.

Regards,

Hi, I have been busy for the past few days due to real life commitments, so I've added a {{edit COI}} template at the top of this section for other editors to have a look at it. Thanks! —CX Zoom 16:10, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi CX Zoom, thanks! E.poul (talk) 16:13, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Not done: Please cite secondary and independent reliable sources. Best regards, -- Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 19:17, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello Johannes, thank you for your help. I have reduced the number of sources and added new ones. The majority are now independent, reliable and secondary sources. Does this work for you? Best regards, E.poul (talk) 16:06, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, @Johannes Maximilian, does it work for you know? E.poul (talk) 14:42, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

I would review this, but I don't see where the proposed text is. When ready to proceed with the requested information, kindly change the {{request edit}} template's answer parameter to read from |ans=yes to |ans=no. Thank you! Regards, Spintendo 23:13, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much @Spintendo, if you are still willing to review it, you can find it here in my sandbox : User:E.poul/sandbox/UNESCO (activities). Kind regards, E.poul (talk) 12:45, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

The proposed text needs to be placed here on the talk page. Regards, Spintendo 20:10, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

We the people in the USA are very tired of seeing the monkeys in Cambodia being so terribly mistreated..

Hello, I don’t know if this is the proper place to write but I’m so desperate for your help if you could possibly help. The past couple of years I have been getting videos of baby primates in Cambodia being so abused. Their being terribly abused,neglect,beaten, emotionally depressed, and sexually abused I don’t follow or like these videos I have blocked around 1,200 of them but they change names and back on….. I have learned I think these monkeys are endangered monkeys in that country. I know they have monkey farms their also and the poachers takes all the adult primates to the monkey farms for money,they ripped away these babies from their mothers and show up in boxes at the people’s homes where they dress them up cute or very mean to them even trying to drown them in some videos to make money off the videos than when they get to big they drop them out like trash in Angkor Wats Temple park, these poor babies maybe 3 months old they wasn’t taught no kind of survival skill how to hunt for their food nothing!! This is when KT and her husband comes in and they start videoing these abandon young primates for their videos to make money..they cause more fights at the park there she brings one bottle when there is 4-6 babies that’s hungry and they are fighting over one bottle to make people so upset and mad where it causes ugly fights with people on their videos and most monkeys gets badly hurt….. this is when WCPO comes in and they scream donations donations donations, now they want money!! Now everyone knows what’s going on now we know WCPO isn’t real when they claimed to be a vet, hospital but can’t give you their address or the name of the veterinary why should you hide this kind of information not unless your doing something illegal!! All of this is causing terrible fights on their videos it’s been threats name calling it’s terrible…. You see most of this hateful animal abuse doesn’t go against facebook community standards BUT it goes against my STANDARDS I’m against animal abuse!! I suffer from depression PTSD and I hate seeing this coming across my stuff.The people in Cambodia and it’s government officials and the King should want their country to be beautiful for people to come on vacation but all it’s doing is keeping many away. I sure hope this is settled fast or I’m going to sue the country for my health it’s causing me some bad problems I don’t like..I’m writing the President of the UNITED STATES next. I sure hope you can put a end to this mess!! Thank you, Cynthia Collier 12.75.8.59 (talk) 11:15, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
