Talk:Shuttle diplomacy

Naming
The George Lenczowski ref is apparently based on the following quote, which does not belong on the accompanying page, let alone as a block-quote within a footnote: "On November 5 Kissinger inaugurated the phase since known as 'shuttle diplomacy' by traveling to Cairo, a trip followed by repeated visits to Israel, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and Russia." It also does not establish that
 * The term "shuttle diplomacy" refers to a phase of diplomacy started by United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger on November 5, 1973.

and i have restated what is relevant from it accordingly. --Jerzy•t 07:55, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

DAB page target in quotes in lead.
Originally and usually, the process entails successive travel ("shuttling") by the intermediary, from the working location of one principal, to that of another. The link here doesn't seem to be all that useful as it leaves the reader wondering what the shuttle here is supposed to find, instead lands on a page where shuttle is the common descriptor (and the reason these things were named the way they were). I don't think there's a good reason to break policy (WP:INTDABLINK) that links should not direct to DAB pages. microbiology Marcus (petri dish·growths) 21:24, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
