After an email I found out that most text on http://www.worldsummit2003.de is licensed under the GFDL. So it can be used on the Wikipedia. Guaka 19:39, 4 Dec 2003 (UTC)

This article is pretty weak. So is the article on Tunis... Sbwoodside 23:31, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

This article needs tidying up. 217.41.240.15 11:49, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Four very superfluous word-filled paras have been added to the end of this article. They do not really provide any extra useful info. 217.41.240.15 14:45, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] POV Problems

Before going about cleaning the POV language of the section called What role for business? What role for government?, I'd like to hear what others think. In my opinion, these paragraphs need rephrasing to remove the point-of-view and make it more encyclopaedic. -- Phellmon 12:20, 29 December 2005 (UTC)


I agree, the second half of this article does need cleaning up. I'm also not sure why there is so much over-emphasis on the POV of the Roman Catholic Church - this occurs in several sections. 'The Church' certainly should be changed to Roman Catholic Church 138.130.208.217 02:25, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] digital solidarity fund??

Everyone is so negative but this here is a good thing which came out of the WSIS! [1]

[edit] The clean-up needed

Someone put a "clean-up needed" tag on the page. Let's list here all the things that have to be done before that tag can be removed.

  • Too many external links among the text
  • References made incorrectly
  • The quotes are possibly too numerous or too long

That's a start. Gronky 15:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Several of the section seem to have the tone of a lecture, explaining concepts like civil society and digital divide in a rambling fashion. This article should attempt to identify what actually happened at the parts of the summit, with an emphasis on what was accomplished.--76.220.203.159 22:11, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, I made some progress on trying to organize the info and removing a few "lecture" sections. The whole CS/DD thing is still lengthy, but at least now is most deals with what was actually expressed at the conference. It would be nice if those big pile of links at the bottom — at least the web articles if not the sites — could be folded into the text as references.--76.220.203.159 23:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
