@LunaEatsTuna I have left some more comments. —*Fehufangą (✉ Talk · ✎ Contribs) 04:43, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@LunaEatsTuna Looks good! I will pass this. —*Fehufangą (✉ Talk · ✎ Contribs) 09:01, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Though I am a bit confused on where to categorize this under. I'd appreciate some help with that. —*Fehufangą (✉ Talk · ✎ Contribs) 09:10, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I really appreciate the review! I think Political parties and movements might suit it? ツLunaEatsTuna (💬)— 16:29, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
  • Micronation as a word has no basis in international law - "International law" is a duplicate link.
  • Removed.
  • and George Cruickshank of the Empire of Atlantium - In both instances, "Empire of Atlantium" is a duplicate link.
  • Removed both.
  • an independent constitutional republic called New Atlantis - "New Atlantis" is a duplicate link.
  • Removed.
  • In 1964, writer Leicester Hemingway - "Leicester Hemingway" is a duplicate link.
  • Removed.
  • based his sovereignty on the Guano Islands Act of 1856 - "Guano Islands Act of 1856" is a duplicate link
  • Removed.
  • engage in intermicronational diplomacy - Diplomacy is a replink
  • Removed.
  • The study of micronationalism is known as micropatriology or micropatrology. - This doesn't seem like it fits in the section "Legality".
  • You're right—removed.
  • Several intermicronational organisations also exist - No need to link "organisations".
  • Removed.
  • delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic - "COVID-19 pandemic" is a duplicate link
  • Removed.
  • held at Dangar Island, Sydney - "Dangar Island" and "Sydney" are duplicate links.
  • Removed.
  • "with many country pages [on MicroWiki] longer than those of real nations [on Wikipedia]," - Consider adding a ref for this quotation separately.
  • Good idea; done.
  • They claimed to be the princesses of the historical Sunda Empire - Change the Sunda Empire link (which is actually a link to the micronation), to Sunda Kingdom? I remember when this went viral here a few years ago.
  • Changed. I have heard about this from some Indonesian micronationalists who locally call it the 2020 Indonesian micronations shock.
  • and hosted by the Principality of Aigues-Mortes - "Principality of Aigues-Mortes" is a duplicate link.
  • Removed.
  • The documentary explored various micronations around the world, and included - The comma before "and" should be removed.

  • Removed.
  • I noticed that the information about Hemingway's micronation in the section "Libertarian micronations and seasteading projects: 1964–1972" is repeated in the "Seasteading" section. The former section also has a hatnote that points to the latter.
  • I have revamped the whole section; hopefully it looks better now?

References

[edit]
  • The reference L'État c'est moi: Histoire de... is not used anywhere.
  • Nice catch! Moved to further reading.
  • From a selection of references:
    • 24 and 25: In either sources, I cannot find 1966 as the date of new Atlantis' destruction
      • Added a source which states it was destroyed "within a few years" by a cyclone. No idea where I got 1966 from.
    • 28: checkY
    • 42: checkY
    • 47: checkY
    • 94: checkY
    • 111: checkY
    • 118: checkY
    • 131: This may be a better link, since it doesn't immediately open the print window.
      • Yep—added!
    • 157: Correct me if I am wrong, but this appears to be a self-published source?
      • Removed. Could not seem to find any RS sources mentioning the acronym.

Copyvio

[edit]
  • Quotation to Collins is cited. There are some unavoidable similarities to book titles, but besides that, no concerns.
