[edit] Convention on Psychotropic Substances

Self-nom. Gives a detailed history of the Convention, explains its role in the global drug control regime, and even includes a few cases describing how Scheduling decisions were made. Lots of references, too. Pravoka 05:59, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment. Looks good (only cursory read... sorry), can't support until I read more. However, could we convert those internal links to a form suggested in Wikipedia:Footnotes? - Ta bu shi da yu 08:07, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Minor Object. Stimulants such as Crystal Meth and the like seem to have recieved only brief coverage in this. There is also no illustration for a stimulant in the article. Yes its primarily centered on hallucinogens such as LSD/Peyote but the stimulants are still covered under this convention and deserve equal pictorial coverage. Mostly minor stuff... rework this a bit and i'll support.  ALKIVAR™ 18:37, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. subject matter worthy of a place on the featured page. Tparker393 20:41, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
  • object there are many external links, however there is no meta information stored about them, so if one of the sources gets moved or changed it will be impossible to tell. Using footnotes for the links, as is done in many current featured articles, would enable storage of Author/title/date/summary information which would make this much easier in future.

  • Object. The link to the list of schedules (http://www.incb.org/e/conv/1971/cover.htm) referenced at the ==Schedules of Controlled Substances== section is broken. This shows the vulnerability of linking to essential information as an external link. Can a copy be posted to Wikisource so that a stable baseline exists for reference when the dynamic list is unavailable? --Theo (Talk) 13:28, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Yeah, they moved the treaty text, which broke many links. I concur with the idea of posting it to wikisource. The treaty has never been amended, to my knowledge, and should be fairly stable. Remember me 13:58, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
