About the tag that has been placed on Sunset Micronation. The article contains facts about Sunset Micronation. There is no blatant advertising. It does not promote any company, product, group, service or person. The article does also not promote Sunset Micronation. There are no specific directions how to get to the Micronation. There are no names of any persons in the article. Sunset Micronation does not sell anything. Sunset Micronation does not ask for donations or support. Of course the Micronation welcomes visitors but not a word in the article is mentioned about this or how to apply for a permit. The only reason the article was written was to give information to those who were interested to know some facts about this new Micronation. The article was a bit short and more facts were planned to be added soon. Since Sunset Micronation is one of the youngest micronations in the world (declared on July 1, 2008) there are no facts in any encyclopedia yet. Sunset Micronation has its own flag, coat of arms (we call it “crest” instead), national symbols, national day, national anthem, government and citizens actually living in the Micronation. Sunset Micronation owns most of its territory (except Periferia Park. The park is only accessible via Sunset Micronation and is also maintained by the citizens of the Micronation). Maps and a large number of pictures are available to prove our existence. Of course, no independent state has recognized Sunset Micronation. But, I guess, no micronation is officially recognized. If so, it would be a microstate instead. Nevertheless there are many micronations listed in Wikipedia encyclopedia. The citizens of Sunset Micronation take pride in being respectful to nature, polite to people and to keep the Micronation free of crime and free of discrimination. It is unfortunate that You consider Sunset Micronation not worthy of having a few words of information in the encyclopedia. Sunset Micronation regrets that some people think less of others because of race, nationality or just for being different. The tag placed on the article was the first thing to be seen when somebody “googled” Sunset Micronation:

User talk:Sunset Micronation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia- [ Översätt den här sidan ]9 jul 2008 ... A tag has been placed on Sunset Micronation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria ... This is a degradation. People might get the impression that Sunset Micronation is some kind of hoax or fake. Sunset Micronation is real. Its citizens are people with feelings. The first message we got from Wikipedia “requesting that it (the ariticle) be speedily deleted from Wikipedia because of vandalism”. The members of Sunset Government have during many years in the late 1990’s and early 2000 been active as volunteers in the committee of a non-profit organization against vandalism in Sweden. Maybe this first message was auto-generated, but still, we all took great offence. It is an insult to call decent people “vandals”.

I really do not know what Sunset Micronation possibly could have done to You that made You think its people deserve this kind of treatment.
