This 2007 promotion contains large amounts of uncited material, while the data it contains has not been updated since the mid-2000s, making it woefully out of date. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:36, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- I updated a few things. Most of the information in the article does not expire - stays up to date for years and decades. Assessments are not made by looking at dates alone, but with facts in mind. A case in point is the literature rating, Iceland uses a PISA test, which is used across OECD states, and it is only updated every 3 years. There are no markings of citations missing, this is not a biography. Marking the sentances as needing citations is what you should have done, prior to this proposal of yours. I am demanding an second opinion, you are clearly not following protocol. Snævar (talk) 04:44, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Snævar: The GA criteria has been updated recently to require an inline citation at the end of every paragraph, minimum. This article has numerous paragraphs that do not have this. If you would like, I can tag the article with citation needed tags to show where they are required. Also, it would be helpful if the citations included page numbers where the information can be verified, as this will help with a source check. Z1720 (talk) 16:45, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- Snævar as noted by Z1720 above, you may wish to acquaint yourselves with the good article criteria and the good article reassessment process before you accuse others of "not following protocol". I have tagged the sentences that need citations—there are quite a few of them. I hope that helps you. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 06:35, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delist, far too many cn tags. Queen of Hearts ❤️ (she/they 🎄 🏳️⚧️) 00:45, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Literacy edit
I can't possibly believe that the literacy in Iceland is 60%. Either the facts in this article are completely way off, or somebody gives the figures for small children. Fomalhaut76 (talk) 18:55, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
