Talk:D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation

Please be informed that the Developing Eight (D-8)logo that you have on your webpage is incorrect. There should only be 6 (six) red stars under the 8 blue leaves. Those six stars represent the 6 foundation of the establishment of the D-8 organization. Eight smaller stars in an arc-like formation should also be placed approximately over the south-east quadrant of the map on the logo. Eight blue leaves represent each member of the organization. Please duly recheck to the D-8 Secretariat for confirmation. Every correspondence with the Secretariat of the D-8 and the office of the Executive Secretary of the D8 so far always show the abovementioned logo on the letterhead.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Muslim
Should mention that 7 of 8 members are Muslim-majority, with the eighth (Nigeria) roughly half-Muslim... AnonMoos 18:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * It does seem odd not to mention something about that - have amended first sentence to refer to 'a group of predominantly Muslim developing countries'. From the official site: 'The idea of cooperation among major Muslim developing countries was mooted by Dr. Necmettin Erbakan, the then Prime Minister of Turkey, during a Seminar on "Cooperation in Development" which was held in Istanbul in October 1996.' --Oolong (talk) 14:38, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:D-8.gif
Image:D-8.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Turkey
Could this be used against Turkey and joining the EU? I mean in order to be in EU, a country must meet a whole bunch of requirements. Norum (talk) 17:31, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Navbox consensus
There are plausible reasons for modifying the navbox templates at the bottom of the page at Developing 8 Countries (D-8 or D8). An opportunity for discussion needs to be part of any process which precedes change. Three arguable improvements are:

A. Changing the name of the article, consistent with the group's official website?
 * the article's could stay the same or it could be reasonably renamed as any of the following:
 * D-8, as in 1st word of "Brief History" webpage
 * Developing-8, as in 1st paragraph of "Brief History"
 * D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation, as in 3rd paragraph of "Brief History"
 * Organization for Economic Cooperation (D-8), as in 4th paragraph of "Brief History"
 * The best choice, in my opinion, is D-8 with the hyphen; and the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article can mirror the first sentence of the history webpage, e.g.,
 * "D-8, also known as Developing-8, is an organization for economic cooperation among Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Turkey."

B. Expanding the current navbox by encompassing links to projected articles about the serial D-8 summits, including the 2010 Istanbul meeting this month.
 * template name could be D-8&mdash;Template:D-8?
 * new template would be similar to APEC&mdash;Template:Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
 * this would mean removing or redirecting D8 nations&mdash;Template:D8 nations?

C. Not creating a current leaders navbox?
 * This is a poor subject for a navbox because leaders change irregularly over time. The functional utility of this navbox is not greater or better than one which only shows member nations.

D. Standardize/harmonize to "D-8" without hyphen?
 * Only D-8 and G-15 must have a hyphen, consistent with each groups' official website?

E. Perhaps decision-making may be helped by comparing an array of similar groups and templates?


 * 21 in group> Template:APEC?
 * Template:Current APEC Leaders?
 * 18 in group> Template:G-15 nations?
 * Template:Group of 15 Leaders?
 * 8 in group> Template:D8 nations?
 * 4 in group>Template:BRIC countries?

Egypt
Since Hosni Mubarak is not any longer the President of Egypt, it's ilogical to list him in here as the representant of Egypt in D-8 -- 201.201.28.106 19:09, 18 February 2011


 * Infobox was modified -- now mirroring recent edits to our article about the President of Egypt. Temporarily showing Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, Mohamed Hussein Tantawi until elections replace the military junta. --Tenmei (talk) 05:30, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
