Tips for developing country outlines

edit

Instructions for developing country outlines is located at Wikipedia:Outlines (while that section is complete, the page is a draft, and will be moved to the Wikipedia namespace when completed). The Transhumanist 21:45, 22 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

A note concerning redlinks...

edit

Many of the entries (and their links) are standard across all of the country outlines, to aid readers, especially young readers, in comparing countries to each other.

So if this country doesn't have any of a particular entry, like navies, please don't delete the entry. Instead, complete it with "none" (and a brief explanation as to why, for example, "- x is a landlocked country with no ports"). If the explanation exists in an article on Wikipedia, then click on the redlink and create a redirect to that location. See Wikipedia:Redirect, WP:Section linking, and Help:Section#Section_linking.

Standard redlinks (article names) were also chosen based on how country coverage tipically expands. This makes the standard names for these subtopics widely available and easily accessible. So please do not remove those redlinks, for they will turn blue eventually. In the meantime, they can be redirected to the section of whatever article has the relevant information, if any. See Wikipedia:Redirect, WP:Section linking, and Help:Section#Section_linking.

Thank you.

Please check and fix the government section

edit

The government section needs to be checked for accuracy. The initial data placed in the government branches sections was generated by template, and the data didn't fit all countries.

So those sections need to be looked over, and fixed if needed.

Please help.

Thank you.

Needed maintenance on country outlines

edit

Please check this outline for the following problems, and fix if present:

  • If the Local government section is empty (or only has a red "main" link), please remove the section. (If it has a blue "main" link, do not remove).
  • Underdeveloped Education section - add more links.
  • Redlinks that are unlikely to ever turn blue - remove or delink as appropriate.
  • Out-of-date incumbant names - remove. No need to add the new incumbants, as the links to the articles on the position titles should suffice.

Thank you. The Transhumanist 02:14, 8 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines

edit

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 23:51, 8 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Tolerance

edit

No offence, but the Islamic World must have a really low bar for tolerance if Azerbaijan can be described as "one of the most progressive and secular Islamic societies ... [where] tolerance is the highest". This sentence is a bit iffy to me and seems like propaganda/advertisement. It probably doesn't belong in the lead. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 02:33, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

I've altered the lead to show that the sentence about "tolerance" is mainly about religious attitudes, rather than society-wide attitudes. I myself am atheist, so personally I have a pretty high tolerance towards religions, for example, given that I'm not particularly attached to any individual religion. But religious tolerance has very little to do with other forms of tolerance in a society, such as LGBT rights, women's rights, freedom of speech, democracy, environmentalism, etc. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 02:55, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
