 * the conflict between Libya and Chad, and Gadaffis attempt to make a libyan-chadish union.
 * The armed forces/defense of Libya
 * Divisions/Subdivisions; the municipalities used is outdated.
 * Economy: The article doesn't tell anything about unemployness, and is spare when it comes to information about business activities in Libya, and also about export/import.
 * Economy: "an extensive and impressive level of social security" is somewhat unclear, when it does not tell what the social security is.
 * Demography: The age of the population, and birth mortality.
 * The culture section is spare, not mentioning important issues like sport in Libya, or food.
 * Under religion: The time for the oldest jewish settlement is wrong compared to the given source.

 * Remove, per above.--Yannismarou (talk) 13:08, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Remove, because the problems with the article staying FA-class have not been addressed. EasyPeasy21 (talk) 18:56, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Remove. I have some additional comments:
 * Lead gives too much space about the name and neglects other important facts. I suggest creating a Name section
 * The History section should be reviewed by an expert of someone knowledgeable about the subject. Seems to give too much emphasis to conquests and not enough to internal developments. Also one-sentence paragraphs.
 * It seems POV that a "Human Rights" section exists in this article while it is not found in most other countries articles.
 * Update "Municipalities", and add information about local governance.
 * And excuse me, if this is not the place for these kind of comments. I'm new to the FAR process. Eklipse (talk) 12:50, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
