[edit] Lots of unnecessary duplication

Right now there is significant duplication of material in the following three articles:

1. State of Palestine
2. Foreign_relations_of_the_Palestinian_National_Authority
3. Diplomatic_missions_of_the_Palestinian_National_Authority

I'm going to think about this for a bit and read a bit about how other countries handle such a situation before deciding on a course of action. --Abnn 22:47, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Glad to see that Diplomatic_missions_of_the_Palestinian_National_Authority has been redirected here. The earlier title was wrong. FR of the PNA should be replaced by Palestinian Foreign Relations or something similar. The SoP/PLO are the things with international relations; the PNA is something domestic, created by Oslo. Ramallite has some excellent, as always, relevant comments on one of these pages. The only (rough) parallel I know of, if this helps, is the relation between the Holy See and Vatican City.John Z 09:38, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

This article is written in the style of any other Diplomatic Missions by Country article. There is no intention to cover foreign policy, only to list the diplomatic missions and make observances about their deployment. Under the principle of naming articles according to how the subject of an article refers to itself (as opposed to how other countries call it), the article is named Palestinian Diplomatic Missions (not PNA diplomatic Missions).

While the PLO office in Washington DC is correctly labeled as such, it is put under the rubric of "diplomatic mission." The US and the PLO do not maintain diplomatic ties and the PLO mission does not enjoy diplomatic privileges or immunities. So why is it listed here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.109.9.199 (talk) 20:25, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
