Review of revision 1401884 [Not ready]

Revision 1401884 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and found not ready at 05:20, 12 February 2012 (UTC). Copyright: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Newsworthiness: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Verifiability: Not ready: See below. NPOV: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Style: Not reviewed. Please address other issues. Comments by reviewer: Signing is not the same as implementing. The three major elements of the process (of uncertain chronological order) are signing, ratifying, and the June debate, none of which is the same as implementing. Both Poland and the Czech republic have signed, according to the RT source, and what was put off by some countries surely wasn't implementation per se. Further muddling things, Wilcox's statement as reported by the BBC technically addresses only signing, not ratification. Questions about the above? Ask. If possible, please address the above issues then resubmit the article for another review (by replacing {{tasks}} in the article with {{review}}). This talk page will be updated with subsequent reviews.

Review of revision 1402537 [Passed]

Revision 1402537 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 18:20, 12 February 2012 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: This is an extraordinarily confusing story, when one gets into which governments have done what. I think we've even got two different sources disagreeing on whether the Czech Republic has signed. The relationship seems quite obscure between countries signing, countries ratifying, the EU signing (which apparently led to that resignation), and the EU ratifying (is that what's to be debated in June?). Trying to explain this stuff is, however, an (imho) significant challenge that would seem to entail a separate article. The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer.

Thanks, I wasn't so much interested in the story being about who has ratified what, but about yesterday's protests. Given the confusing nature of this, I'm tempted to email some questions to someone more involved in advocating for or against ACTA to see if we can get them clarified. Thanks for publishing. —Tom Morris (talk) 19:00, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

That could make for some interesting OR.

This article is focused on the protests, but the protests are focused on the adoption process, which is why one just can't write about this stuff without getting tangled in adoption esoterica. The moral, perhaps, being that if we had a really solid article about the process, we could refer to it thereafter to untangle things. --Pi zero (talk) 19:34, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
