Talk:World Intellectual Property Organization/Archives/2015

French name
Hi, as explained on your talk page, it appears entirely unnecessary to add the French name of the organization in the first sentence. In my understanding, the French name isn't "the very original name" (as you claimed in an edit summary). See Art. 20(1)(a) of the Convention establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization providing that four languages are considered authentic: English, French, Russian, Spanish. Of course, I may be wrong. If so, please explain! Otherwise, I'll just have to revert your edit again. --Edcolins (talk) 20:50, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

I have reverted your edit for now, in the absence of any reaction from you. --Edcolins (talk) 19:15, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, according to your edit summary, WIPO would have been "founded back then with the unilingual French name". What is your source for this statement? As mentioned above, Art. 20(1)(a) of the Convention establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization provides that four languages are considered authentic: English, French, Russian, Spanish. Furthermore, under MOS:FORLANG and MOS:LEADALT, even if WIPO had been "founded back then with the unilingual French name", this would not even be a reason to add the French name in the first sentence. --Edcolins (talk) 20:29, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

@: Considering your unwillingness to discuss the matter on the talk page, I've semi-protected the article for now. Please discuss this matter on the talk page! --Edcolins (talk) 17:35, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
