Proposed Chart Deletion
A chart on this page - File:Indian_Diplomatic_Personnel.jpg - has been proposed for deletion on. It is ambiguous as to who is "Professional" or not and what data the graph is based on (unsourced). The US has thousands of "professional diplomats" for example (can be documented). With the ambiguity, it is not encyclopedia and should be deleted. Mikebar (talk) 23:30, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

"Career dipomat"
Does "career diplomat", which a few articles use to describe people, mean anything special? To an American ear, that term carries a negative connotation and I am inclined to remove "career" when I see it as a biased term. Jason Quinn (talk) 08:42, 20 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Career Diplomat in US circles does not donote a negative connotation. Career folks join Foreign Affairs Agencies (most State but also USAID, Commerce, Agriculture, etc.) and spend their career in the Foreign Service.  A non-career diplomat would typically be an appointee from the Administration with Ambassador being the most obvious but also special envoys, etc.  There is a rub in that some, such as the American Foreign Service Association believe that appointments should be made from the career employee pool more often than from outside - the appointment of non-career people has been ongoing since the US was founded and will not change anytime soon.  Some say the percentage should rise, others do not.  Some say career folks are better prepared, others do not.  These are just opinions and as such do not invoke controversy per se.  Wording in the article "should be diplomatic" and not denote favoritism one vs. another unless citing the schism specifically.  Mikebar (talk) 15:47, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

WP:ENGVAR
It seems that Zhao Wendao established the WP:ENGVAR of this article as British English by using the word 'organisation' on 28 September 2009. Recently, there has been both British 'ise' and American 'ize' in used, but this was recently fixed by. - YBG (talk) 23:11, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
