This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hi, Here is a proposal to improve the "activities" part. Could you proofread it? Thank you a lot, Regards, (E.poul (talk) 13:28, 9 March 2023 (UTC))

@E.poul: The major issue in your proposed article/prose is the lack of secondary and reliable sources throughout. Almost every reference is either a UNESCO-affiliated site, or UNESCO-published book/journal, etc. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on usage of primary sources —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 16:10, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello CX Zoom,

This document aims to correct the "activities" part of the UNESCO page, which is not up to date.  Therefore, the information includes only a small part of the subjects dealt with by the organisation.

The aim of this work is to enrich the existing content and to correct it.

In order to be as accurate and concise as possible, the work is based on 164 sources, and since we are talking about UNESCO's activities, the most reliable sources are mainly publications or research produced by UNESCO on the subjects concerned. However, in order to comply with the rules of the platform, 50 sources out of 164 sources are secondary references, whose researchers, authors or journalists are not affiliated with UNESCO. These sources represent a total of more than 30% of the references used. They have been carefully selected and come mainly from ResearchGate, JSTOR, Cairn and also include links to the websites of the major events mentioned.

I hope that this clarification will best explain the high regard I have for the rules of the platform and I remain at your disposal for any discussion on this subject.

Regards,

Hi, I have been busy for the past few days due to real life commitments, so I've added a {{edit COI}} template at the top of this section for other editors to have a look at it. Thanks! —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 16:10, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi CX Zoom, thanks! E.poul (talk) 16:13, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: Please cite secondary and independent reliable sources. Best regards, -- Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 19:17, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello Johannes, thank you for your help. I have reduced the number of sources and added new ones. The majority are now independent, reliable and secondary sources. Does this work for you? Best regards, E.poul (talk) 16:06, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, @Johannes Maximilian, does it work for you know? E.poul (talk) 14:42, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

I would review this, but I don't see where the proposed text is. When ready to proceed with the requested information, kindly change the {{request edit}} template's answer parameter to read from |ans=yes to |ans=no. Thank you! Regards,  Spintendo  23:13, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much @Spintendo, if you are still willing to review it, you can find it here in my sandbox : User:E.poul/sandbox/UNESCO (activities). Kind regards, E.poul (talk) 12:45, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

The proposed text needs to be placed here on the talk page. Regards,  Spintendo  20:10, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Isn't UNO (United Nations Organization) being used in UNESCO?

Compare UN in UNICEF. JMGN (talk) 10:54, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

The etymology of "UNESCO" is clear: it is an acrostic for the name of the organization, as spelled out in the first sentence of the article. MartinPoulter (talk) 13:55, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

@MartinPoulter I meant that it is dependent branch of the UNO (its hyperonym), un turn an organization within the United Nations. JMGN (talk) 13:59, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

Done, but your request was malformed and unclear. ASP.NET does not redirect here. If you meant UNESCO ASPNet, that article had been redirected here, and I have removed the resultant circular link. Note that the article is not protected, so there was not reason you could not have made this edit yourself. Meters (talk) 10:02, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
