United Nations Security Council Resolution 1290[edit]

(

)

~~... that China abstained from voting on United Nations Security Council Resolution 1290 due to concerns over Tuvalu's relationship with Taiwan?~~ Source: China abstained, arguing that Tuvalu’s ties to Taiwan demonstrated that it had not complied with General Assembly Resolution 2758 (1971), which seated the People’s Republic of China and expelled Taiwan.)
- ALT1:... that United Nations Security Council Resolution 1290 ratified Tuvalu's request for membership of the United Nations which they could only afford due to selling their Internet country code top-level domain .tv? Source: ...a $50m deal earlier this year which sold off 10-year rights to its '.tv' domain name. The deal with a US firm called DotTV effectively trebled Tuvalu's national income. Part of these receipts will be used to pay annual UN subscriptions

Alt1 is really interesting, but alt0 isn't really. I have a couple of minor concerns over the prose (like the use of UNSC, since its article generally refers to it using "Security Council" as the shortened form) and some of the phrasing, but all-in-all this passes. --DannyS712 (talk) 03:58, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook is rather clunky. What do you think about piping some links?
ALT1a: ... that Tuvalu could only afford becoming a member of the United Nations after selling their Internet country code top-level domain? Yoninah (talk) 00:03, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Alt1a is okay with me. @Tropicanan? --DannyS712 (talk) 01:41, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah and DannyS712: All good by me. Tropicanan (talk) Tropicanan (talk) 08:42, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
