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).  Th e Tr ans hu man ist  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.

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.

Map
This map is not following the worldview of Syrias borders:, therefore I removed it. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 20:35, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Not my personal opinion, the map is following the Israeli view instead of the entire world view, that is not neutral.--Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 17:55, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Israel
I was surprised to find in this article that Syria has no common border with Israel. Is that so? --Ravpapa (talk) 09:43, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * That's the result of an anon replacing Israel with Palestine. I've reverted it back to Israel. Thanks for pointing it out. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 01:07, 10 November 2011 (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 00:01, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
