[edit] Timeline of UN peacekeeping missions

I have just come across this Timeline of UN peacekeeping missions it would seem to me that it ought to be merged with List of UN peacekeeping missions. See also Talk:List of countries where UN peacekeepers are currently deployed#List of countries where UN peacekeepers were deployed --Philip Baird Shearer 7 July 2005 21:09 (UTC)

Let me just say again that I don't see a big deal with substanial content duplication as long as they serve different navigational purposes. Especially since navigation is one of the primary purposes of a list, as opposed to prose. --Dmcdevit July 7, 2005 21:56 (UTC)


[edit] Maps

Hate to be picky but the map still shows Serbia and Montenegro jointly. Nor should the whole of these two states be shaded, just the Kosovo element of Serbia, as we do for East Timor within Indonesia. I wish I know how to edit these myself - may try to learn! JamesAVD 17:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non-UN controlled missions

I was wondering why this list does not incorporate those missions such as UNITAF and INTERFET which were sanctioned by the Security Council, but which were commanded by individual member states, rather than the UN? I accept that they are slightly different in their command and control arrangements, but they are really UN missions. At least this could be remarked upon or perhaps some of us could start a list of UN sanctioned peacekeeping missions" or the like --Mat Hardy (Affentitten) 02:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Automatic addition of "class=FA"

A bot has added class=FA to the WikiProject banners on this page, as it's listed as a featured lists. If you see a mistake, please revert, and leave a note on the bot's talk page. Thanks, BOT Giggabot (talk) 06:31, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This page needs citations

The individual missions on this page should be cited because the general source used for this page just links to a general website, and users looking for citations shouldn't have to comb a website for them. I'll give the contributors a week or so to work on it, and after that I might consider taking it to FLRC. -- Scorpion0422 14:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category and infobox

These pages are used to help find all entries for Category:United Nations Security Council mandates, and subsequently their resolution giving them a mandate. As each of these has a structure with start date, end, webpage, etc, it'll soon be time to create an infobox for all such mandates. Citations will be unnecessary since the data will be on the pages linked.Goatchurch (talk) 23:19, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
