Democratic Republic of Georgia
It is article about the 1st Republic of Georgia (May 26, 1918 - March, 1921) and has potential for being a Featured article candidate. -- Levzur May 6 2005


 * Object 1) The lead section is too short compared to the article text. 2) The grammar needs to be cleaned up throughout the article ( for example, "In 1917 was restored the Autocephaly of the Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church." ).3) The sections after Politics are basically just lists with very little prose to describe why the items in the lists are significant. 4) Why are all the section headers third level ( ===Section=== ) and not second level ( ==Section== )? 5) The article is missing a map of the country (at least an outline map showing the borders involved). 6) There are quite a few single sentence paragraphs that need to be either expanded or combined. slambo 12:49, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Someone else added the strike over objections 1, 2, 3 and 6. I only struck objections 4 and 5. slambo 15:18, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * After reviewing the article again today, I believe that these four objections still stand. The lead should be at least two paragraphs long and summarize every section.  There are still many places where the grammar coule be improved.  The sections after Politics are still just lists presented in paragraph form.  The Politics section closes with eight paragraphs of one or two sentences each, and there are a couple other one sentence paragraphs further up in that section.  slambo 15:25, May 14, 2005 (UTC)


 * Object. I would be very happy to see an article about Georgia reach featured status, but this isn't ready yet. Along with the things Slambo mentioned, there are elements of bad grammar and strange capitalisation throughout the article. Long sections of this article seem to just be lists...and there are too many red links. Tim Rhymeless  (Er...let's shimmy)  23:58, 6 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Object See guidelines at What is a featured article as well as WikiProject Historical states and/or WikiProject Countries on improving this article so that it becomes a FA.  Petersam 07:27, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Levzur, please do not strike over other people's comments. You can respond by adding to them like this.  Four historic states which are FAs are listed in the WikiProject Historical states.  Petersam 02:28, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
