Requested articles

Importance scale

For the quality scale, see the Version 1.0 Editorial Team's grading scheme.

Label Criteria Reader's experience Editor's experience Example
Top The article is one of the core organizations in international relations or is a very broad overview article with many sub-articles. A reader who is not involved in international relations will have high familiarity with the subject matter and should be able to relate to the topic easily. Articles in this importance range are written in mostly generic terms, leaving technical terms and descriptions for more specialized pages. International relations, Diplomacy, UNESCO, History of the United Nations
High The article covers a topic that is vital to understanding specific topics about international relations or general topics about parts of international relations Most readers will have some knowledge of the subject Articles at this level cover particular issues related to international relations, specific terms are used to detail the topic Political realism, Kyoto Protocol, Ban Ki-moon
Mid The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in international relations. Many readers will be familiar with the topic being discussed, but a larger majority of readers may have only cursory knowledge of the overall subject Articles at this level will cover subjects that are well known but not necessarily vital to understand international relations. Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text. Democratic peace theory, Uruguay Round, Koichiro Matsuura
Low The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of international relations, but may cover topics directly related to it. Few readers outside of the topic area may be familiar with the subject matter. It is likely that the reader does not know anything at all about the subject before reading the article. Articles at this range of importance will often delve into the minutiae of international relations, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed. Northwest Passage, Franco-Japanese relations, Dan Gillerman

Guidelines

Note that these are only guidelines! These instructions are not set in stone.

Bilateral relations

All articles regarding the bilateral relations between two countries should follow this format in order to have an organization within all such articles:

  • The adjective forms of the countries are to be used. (Filipino-American relations, not Philippines-United States relations)
  • The adjective with the fewer syllables goes first. (Chinese-American relations, not American-Chinese relations).
    • If both adjectives have the same number of syllables, then they are placed in alphabetical order according to the short official names as listed in List of countries.


Embassy naming conventions

Suggest that all articles about a diplomatic mission be named according to this naming convention:

{type of mission} of {country} in {name of city}

For example:


The exception being embassies to the Holy See
