List of sovereign states in 18xx

I see you have recently created 23 identical pages (List of sovereign states in 1830, List of sovereign states in 1831, List of sovereign states in 1832, List of sovereign states in 1833, List of sovereign states in 1834, List of sovereign states in 1835, List of sovereign states in 1836, List of sovereign states in 1837, List of sovereign states in 1838, List of sovereign states in 1839, List of sovereign states in 1840, List of sovereign states in 1841, List of sovereign states in 1842, List of sovereign states in 1843, List of sovereign states in 1844, List of sovereign states in 1845, List of sovereign states in 1846, List of sovereign states in 1847, List of sovereign states in 1848, List of sovereign states in 1849, List of sovereign states in 1850, List of sovereign states in 1851 and List of sovereign states in 1852). Are these test pages, or do you intend to edit them so they are encyclopedic? Thanks - Pointillist (talk) 18:08, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

List of sovereign states in 18xx

I am intending to expand them myself and also with the help of other users. The pages are not identical. See 1848 or 1852 for example. I'll add more countries to each list as I progress. Thanks - johnny83m (talk) 18:13, 22 March 2009 (GMT)

Thanks for replying so quickly. The problem is that as soon as a page is created search engines will start to index it, which can attract attention too soon and give readers a bad impression of wikipedia. I suggest that you tag each page as {{Underconstruction}} until they are ready for prime time. BTW, did you know that you can create pages in "user space" (i.e. as subpages of User:Johnny83m) and then move them into article space when they are ready? When they're in user space you can tag them {{NOINDEX}} and search engines will ignore them. - Pointillist (talk) 18:23, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Please work on each page before creating so many unfinished pages. Or work on at least one continent. The trouble with so many articles with only one country listed is that it is presenting a wrong picture. In 1851, there was more than just France but your articles simply list one country, France.

Sovereign states list

Hello, thanks for creating your recent articles. However, don't you think all of these should be a category instead of individual articles? Or maybe all of that stuff should be merged into one single article? ZooFari 00:04, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
