'State'
Someone's attempted to blend the article with a completely different topic, to do with infra-national logistics and media links in a military context! This is a problem, for both senses, and un-encyclopaedic, in my view. It sounds as though the editor will do better to find a subsection of a military theory or IR theory article than one here, which is concerned wholly with the practices and characteristics of a professional function, within an organisational theory/business chapter. Unless I see an immediate objection, I'll strip this alien content from the article in the next two weeks. Question remaining - once a better home has been identified for this unrelated topic, do we need a disambiguation link up top, on this one? Adhib (talk) 22:50, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Have made an addition which includes a reference to my own work - hope the community finds this acceptable. Liam F — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.116.135 (talk) 10:46, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Liam Perhaps you should refer to CIPR code of conduct and best practice guide on use of Wikipedia Rather than seeking any objections from a small community of people contributing to this article. Personally I dont think you reference your own work — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sean paul Trainor (talk • contribs) 11:33, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

In the last few years
In the last few years Internal communication has grown in importance around the world. However, there is very little consensus about what really constitutes good practice - different people approach the discipline from different angles.

Could this be because there really isn't a core skill set?

 * Liam, appreciate your steady hand on the article - nicely done. To your question, I think it does point to the fundamental nature of the discipline as a political art, not a science; the 'best' mediation between the two poles of a dialogue will always be a matter of judgement, conditioned by the adjudicator's worldview. That said, some stuff does the job fairly reliably, and other stuff is pretty well guaranteed to result in 'impairments to social capital'. Adhib (talk) 23:34, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
