Tips for developing country outlines
Instructions for developing country outlines is located at 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)

A note concerning redlinks...
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 Redirect, WP:Section linking, and Help:Section.

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 Redirect, WP:Section linking, and Help:Section.

Thank you.

P.S.: To discuss the standard design of the country outlines, or of outlines in general, do so on the Outline of knowledge WikiProject talk page.

Guidelines for outlines
Guidelines for the development of outlines are being drafted at Outlines.

Your input and feedback is welcomed and encouraged.

Please check and fix the government section
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.

non neutral map
Hertz, in this edit: you re ad a map right after I explain that the map has inaccurate borders showing occupied land as part of Israel. Your explanation: "Non-constructive edit. View even shows parts of Jordan, Lebanon, etc.--and borders.", I don't understand your argument, how does this nullify the fact that the map has inaccurate borders and shows occupied lands as part of Israel? Your argument does not even address what I said. So what if it "shows parts of Jordan, Lebanon" ? and "and borders"? (inaccurate ones) ? At the Outline of the Palestinian territories article you aslo re ad it with your argument: "Caption includes both." and this also does not address my concerns. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 14:20, 1 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Your complaint read, "Non neutral map with inaccurate border showing occupied land as part of Israel.". It cannot be inaccurate or non-neutral when nothing is labeled as Israel or non-Israel. Some borders are shown, indistinctly and difficult to see, but with no labels or other identification.  This is a satellite view, not a map.  It shows the entire region.  My comment reflected that you raised no objection to Jordan, Lebanon, etc. and various borders being included in the "image of Israel".  Note my addition of "and surrounding areas" to the caption, to better describe the view; that is something I would call a constructive edit.  I can't believe that anyone is going to be misled by this view from orbit.


 * Regarding the same satellite image at Outline of the Palestinian territories, your summary read, "Non neutral map with inaccurate border showing occupied land as part of Israel.". The caption read, "An enlargeable satellite image of Israel and the Palestinian territories".  Absolutely no misrepresentation there.  For a fuller description, I added, "and surrounding regions".  Again, I can't believe anyone is going to be misled by this view. Hertz1888 (talk) 17:48, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Needed maintenance on country outlines
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 03:45, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
"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 Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 23:56, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
