Entry: Main Organs of the United Nations - A87858760
Author: Nosebagbadger {Ace} - U14077177

The 3rd entry of the project. There are of course several specific in-links, as well as the links at the top/bottom of the page, but I plan to wait until the end of the project, then submit the list of desired links.

Please have a look at the other two entries as well, if you get a chance!

I'm surprised that no-one has commented on this before – I thought it an excellent entry that definitely deserves more attention.

There were 3 minor points I'll mention:
'this year is quite important' – I think I'd rephrase this as 'this year' is soon coming to an end, and nothing dates faster than dates.

There were also two typos that could be considered to be confusing as to the meaning:
'Of real importance is to think not think of the Secretary-General as the CEO of the United Nations.'
'As to what your view of the who organisation is?' – I assume you mean 'whole' rather than World Health Organisation?

Many thanks for all three points - I shall fix them shortly

And whole seems a reasonable guess for what I was thinking (traditionally a very difficult thing to guess)

I've read through again and it still looks good - hopefully a nudge will gain this some more attention.

My thanks for the bump - acted as a good reminder for me to correct the edits above!

Still excellent - I think The Hague needs a capital The, but other than that have no comments other than to ask ifour entry on 'Model United Nations' going to be part of your United Nations project?

I suppose it technically could be part of the project, though that would feel a little odd adding it in 5 years after it was created

I know that feeling as last I wrote an entry that I added to a project 13 years after I'd written all the others...

Hi Nbb

This is really useful for understanding the UN organs that we hear about in the news. It will be even better when you can add the links to the other Entries in the project.

Ideally the Entry would stand alone within the project, though, so I would be pleased if you could add a bit more explanation in the Introduction, just so the Entry is self-contained. My first question was "What is the United Nations?" as the first paragraph reads like the United Nations is a group of animals or something, with bodies and organs

I also don't understand the sentence "These bodies and others will be covered in the next entry in the United Nations project." - what are "these bodies"? - the Trusteeship Council is covered in this Entry...

Are bodies and organs the same thing in this context?

Hi, thank you for points, I know I'm endlessly knocking on the intro paragraph, but before the plague struck I'd expected to be free from academic work at this point - I shall get to them!

I know part of my meaning meant covering notable UN bodies that aren't part of these primary set, but obviously that still leaves some confusion in the meaning!

Thanks Nbb - sorry to hear you've had a lurgy, but I hope working on your Entry will be relatively straightforward for you when you have a moment

How are you getting on with it?

Once my intro paragraph looks like its agreed in an other entry, I'll add a similar, slightly altered, one, here

I think you can go ahead and add the altered intro paragraph here now.

Woo hoo! (best put that to one side till my endless exams are over)
