List of countries without armed forces[edit]

I believe this article is ready to become a WP:FL. Gary King (talk) 18:40, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support The nominator has made a great attempt with this article, and it meets the criteria. My congrats to the editors involved. PeterSymonds | talk 18:52, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Matthew

Comments - not many.

  • Why is the lead bolded as list of countries, rather than List of countries that do not maintain a standing army or List of countries without armed force?
  • You should probably fix the " subnational entities" redlink in {{About lists of countries and territories}} as it was deleted today.
  • The term "standing army" should be explained, probably in the lead.
    • Done I have also used a Footnote (click the 'A' at the end of the sentence) to learn more about the term. Gary King (talk) 05:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's it for now. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 23:17, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • In the lead: "The Monaco, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Palau", except Monaco shouldn't be proceeded by the "the".
  • Perhaps that sentence could explain why they have no say in their defense matters.

Another comment

  • If Iceland does have some armed forces, just not an Army, should it be included here?

Support - comments resolved, and a good list. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 04:44, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments
    • " U.S. " or "United States" - be consistent.
    • Not keen on some of the "Comments" - some are prose, some are just bullet pointy fragments. Consider making all comments prose.
    • I know it's difficult to resolve but the highlights on the map are so small I can't actually see them!
  • Otherwise it's excellent. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:02, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - more good work Gary! The Rambling Man (talk) 10:04, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Great list. Though, I think a new column for areas would be useful. --Crzycheetah 23:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Terrific work, definitely seems good enough to be featured. Hello32020 (talk) 14:45, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
