Royal coat of arms of Ikonia

Nominator: cameron (talk) 00:12, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
  • NOTE FROM NOMINATOR Much more extensive than Royal coat of arms of Baustralia
  • SUPPORT A neat page, explanatory (leaving nothing out), and pleasant to the eye. Mtonna257, President of  Melite 17:27, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT An excellent page. Fridericus Augustus, Magnus Dux Litvaniae 22:04, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT Ruthenia (talk) 11:25, 14 February 2022 (UTC-3)
  • COMMENT Under 'Previous arms', would it be possible to explain the first two designs more descriptively under the table section titled 'Details'? I feel like there is more to be said about them, i.e. what their designs symbolise. ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 06:36, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Order of the Golden Sun of Melite

Nominator: Mtonna257, President of  Melite 14:04, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

First GA nomination of the year 2022 I guess :) ...
I am trying this for the first time, even though I'm accustomed to using the MicroWiki. Of course, I will welcome all criticism, as a way to improve the article. Thank you very much for your consideration and Happy New Year! Mtonna257, President of  Melite 14:04, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

  • SUPPORT I support the nomination for Good Article, it is very well structured and uses good grammar. It is also categorized nicely. Sauce (talk) 15:19, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT reason why the article is good, it is structured, and it is also very good itself.President of Rhodesia —Preceding unsigned comment added by President of Rhodesian Republic (talk • contribs)
  • SUPPORT I support the nomination for Good Article, good structure and very well written Jdcasdf (talk) 16:46, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT I wholeheartedly agree that this article deserves good status, The King-Emperor of Haskaria
  • OPPOSE Only two sections of this article are longer than two sentences, it is not long enough or detailed enough to warrent good article status. Much more about the history, importance, culture, and other aspects of the order should be added before this becomes good article in my opinion. 𝄞 Strubber ♫ Contributions ♩ 20:09, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT I support it. A very beautiful and informative article, made at a first-class level. Ulmis (talk) 01:42, 2 January 2022 (UTC +2)
  • SUPPORT I fully support the nomination for Good Article, the page is linguistically developed, informative and provides a plethora of information. Rafe Burfield (talk) 22:53, 2 January 2022 (GMT)
  • OPPOSE This needs a lot more content before it can be accepted as a good article. Most of the sections really need to be expanded. In my opinion, the recipient section is a bit messy, maybe once there is more to the article then this could be moved to a different list article? Matt talk ☼ 23:44, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT I fully endorse the nomination for Good Article. Said article is well structured, easy to read, features well-organised tables and could serve as a 'template' for future decoration articles. Padzim (talk) 21:37, 3 January 2022 AD (UTC+2)
  • SUPPORT I support the nomination for Good Article. It's detailed, clear, easy to read and well formatted. NewAthens (talk) 20:03, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE A brief glance shows that every section is a stub. In addition, there are very few references, whilst sections of the article are formatted incorrectly, ie. "Recipients of this grade of the Order are automatically Grand Masters of the Order." This should ideally use {{efn|name="name"|Words here}} In addition, I'm debating as to whether the images actually contribrute to the article - out of the two featured, both are portraits of recipients, which in my view doesn't add much to the article at all. .. Logan >w<  • .Terry Tibbs talk to me . 22:15, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE Everything is stubby, even worse than my own Penn Federal Republic. Devinpurcell (talk) 17:48, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE The article would greatly benefit from expansion. As it stands, the majority sections on the article are very poorly expanded. Sertor (Chat) 00:24, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE @Mtonna257: The most prominent mistake is incorrect capitalisation and average or 'meh' word choices (GAs should use exceptional wording). The lead does not adequately summarise key points of the article, and also says "It is awarded for special achievements in political, economic, cultural, intellectual or honorary fields and the recognition of services to the Republic and its citizens as a whole" whilst the infobox contrastingly reads "Criteria: None established, most awards are accompanied by a reason"; it is also a confusing sentence, explain 'by a reason'? The images may need to be changed or use different captioning, what counts as a "notable awardee"? A sentence in 'Friend of the Nation' reads "The title holds no post-nominals and will only serve as an honorary prefix." 'Will' is a poor word choice as it makes it look like the award does not exist yet or is to be awarded. ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 06:46, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Grand Theft Auto V affair

Nominator: Jaydenfromcanada (talk) | Sent from Mail for Windows 10  whats next requiring a license to make toast in your own toaster | 23:46, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT Matt talk ☼ 23:57, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT I support the nomination for Good Article. It is incredibly detailed, well formatted and includes an exceptional number of references. NewAthens (talk) 20:03, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE This is awful (someone changed my vote). Devinpurcell (talk) 17:46, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT Very well written. Good use of images and references. Article is clear and easy to read. MJM13 (talk) 00:16, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT In light of the... whimsical subject matter, the page is truly a marvel. It is well written, well illustrated and truly deserving of good article status. Sertor (Chat) 00:24, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT obviously  leon!!!!!  talk to me please i have no social interaction • l-l-lookies at what i did!!!!!!!  02:34, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT best article next to Futbol  – Mr. Liam Alexander  • (Talk with me!) • (contribs) 15:37, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT, although I can't really imagine how this will look on the Main Page, heh. Luxor (talk) 18:35, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT Hey I'm still alive, article looks suitably poggy :) • Daniel Hamilton • Enquiries • My Work 04:34, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE: @Jaydenfromcanada: Note that none of the above votes are longer than a sentence, and many, such as "obviously" and "best article next to Futbol" are obvious joke votes. The article is written as if it was a serious event rather than a jocular schism (which is very confusing). The most noticeable mistakes in the article are poor word choices: "between various micronationalists" should be 'several'; "having no jurisdiction", jurisdiction over…? Sentence should read "having no jurisdiction over Ponderosa Hills" or be changed entirely; "in which McGrath laughed at" is an awkward sentence, did McGrath psychically laugh or reply with a 'haha', 'lol', etc.? The lead is poor and vague ("The affair began on 28 January, after Jayden Lycon posted a sarcastic message with Zabëlle Skye and Leon Montan joining." is very vague, it should explain what the affair is and where it commenced); the lead should summarise the whole affair, yet it fails to do so, leaving much room for expansion. "International reactions" is improperly formatted. Most of the citations have an unnecessary space before them – which should be removed – or are placed before a full stop; this is also incorrect, citations come after full stops. ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 07:03, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
    • APPROVED I wouldn't have supported myself, but I think the issues raised can be corrected quite easily. Austenasia (talk) 22:11, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

James Murray

Nominator: User:MJM13 (User talk:MJM13) 20:21, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

I believe that my personal article is worthy of GA status. I am always open to constructive criticism, suggestions, or other comments! Thank you for your consideration.

  • SUPPORT An exceptional Article worthy of GA status. Properly cited, lacking nothing. Mtonna257, President of  Melite 20:50, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT epic Jaydenfromcanada (talk) | Sent from Mail for Windows 10  whats next requiring a license to make toast in your own toaster | 00:17, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT Luxor (talk) 18:34, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
  • COMMENT @MJM13: Great article! Length is good (expansive), all sections are relevant, images are passable, it is well-written and the citations provided are good, though I have a few comments before I can give it a support vote: "Murray also visited his family in Lithuania" is singular, if Murray has visited them multiple times I would rephrase this to "Murray also often visited his family in Lithuania". It also mentions "his experiences traveling in Europe helped to shape his political viewpoints." Perhaps it could explain this in more detail, something like: "Whilst travelling in Exampleland, Lithuania, X came to dislike the policies of the Lithuanian Ruling Party Party due to the crumbling architecture and crime that Exampleland was experiencing at the time." Is there any more background information that can be provided on the foundation of Avalonia? One line sounds a bit biased, especially without citation nor elaboration: "Despite his autocratic rule over the nation, Murray institutes a progressive form of governance that guarantees civil liberties, personal freedom, freedom of expression, and the creation of civil society." Is it possible to elaborate on this, for instance what Murray has done and how he achieved these? A citation to support this, though not required, would be great if one exists. For the infobox, I would remove official website – it is for the gov't and not Murray himself – and either nationality or citizenship, having both seems redundant as they have the same information. Finally, the second citation is solely a link, which should be fixed. I made some edits to fix other minor issues. ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 16:45, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Federal Union of Wegmat

Nominator:  Prime Minister Cole Baird  My Talk Page • My contributations  20:17, 7 January 2022 (UTC) "

Many updates since last nominated.

  • NEUTRAL To be quite honest, it has way too many redlinks and needs to be spell-checked as well as a check to grammar and capitalization. The content is not bad, that is why this isn't an opposition. User:Devinpurcell (talk) 15:17, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE @Wegmat: Outside of minor spelling/grammar and formatting mistakes (which really should be fixed), their are a few issues of particular note: there are two citation needed tags that should be addressed; 'Flag' does not belong in 'Etymology' (the study of words); I feel like the lead could be expanded a bit; what does "Wegmat was formally a constitutional monarchy" mean?; "On 22 November, a Kapresh citizen and other person" is confusing, is the person's identity unknown or is it not stated as it is not relevant? Rephrase. Is it possible for a date be provided for the 'Pre-Micronationalism' section? 'Geography' is long, perhaps most of the content could be moved into an article called Geography of Wegmat? The climate infobox has a technical error relating to a citation. There are some bear links as citations. Other than that, the rest of the sections look good, article is well-illustrated with relevant, quality images, and has a correct use of templates. ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 17:14, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Saspearian Declaration of Independence

Nominator: Emperor Anthony I (talk) 00:24, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT Matt talk ☼ 04:56, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT For a page about a document, it is very well done. User:Devinpurcell (talk) 12:16, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT This page was a perfect read, gave lots of useful information, and explains everything clearly. 3rd President of Roscamistan (talk)
  • COMMENT @Emperor Anthony I: I made some small changes: it is well-written, illustrated, covers virtually everything it can, refs/notes/external links follows guidelines etc. Though I have one question to ask before it can retain a support from me, I feel the line "he presented several people with the document" should specify what people he presented; were they random people, friends or acquaintances of Anthony? With this small specification, I believe this should qualify for GA. ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 16:57, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
    • COMMENT @Z Luna Skye: The people who the document was presented to would be friends and acquaintances at the table. Emperor Anthony I (talk) 18:26, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Changed to SUPPORT, all issues have been addressed. ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 19:03, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Penn Federal Republic

Nominator: Devinpurcell (talk) 15:12, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

After many restructuring and changed from the gracious opinions, suggestions, and criticism from the community, I am yet again nominating this article. I hope that you can provide feedback if applicable with your vote. Thanks! Devinpurcell (talk) 15:12, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

  • SUPPORT Nice article, is a touch stubby but I like it. Good luck! Youraveragecontributor (talk) 15:18, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

Elarian-Alarian Conflict

Nominator: Anthony Ramirez 3rd (talk) 04:06, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

  • OPPOSE Not very well organized, I suggest in a Sandbox just rewriting it, the content is fine, however the organization is terrible. User:Devinpurcell (talk) 16:36, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT Exceptional detail in the article, with my only reservation being that it could be organized a bit better, otherwise, it's very good. Mtonna257, President of  Melite 20:13, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
  • NEUTRAL It's alright, nothing special. Youraveragecontributor (talk) 20:16, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE @Anthony Ramirez 3rd: The organisation and formatting is a hugely noticeable issue with the article that needs to be addressed. ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 17:16, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

February voting

Please cast a vote for the Good Article approved this month which you think would look best as a Featured Article on the Main Page. The GA with the highest number of votes (a tie will be broken by the admins) will be featured on the Main Page for the first two weeks of March 2022, and go on a list to hopefully be featured again some point in the future.

The approved GAs this month are:

March-April

Kingdom of Roskya

Nominator: johann kümmel (talk page) 07:08, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Would probably expect some grammar/spelling mistakes here and there; if there are any, please let me know so I could fix them. johann kümmel (talk page) 07:08, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

OPPOSE It needs a small re-working. Not every election need a section so those should be removed. History section is golden. List of royal orders is unneeded as well. Culture, Military and Economy need a major expansion. Definitely not a bad article though. Isaiah (Chat) 07:33, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
@Isaiah David: Could you give me some recommendations as to how to expand these sections (mainly Culture)? Economy can't be expanded - as there was never any laid-out plan to make an economy - so I'll remove it. johann kümmel (talk page) 00:42, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
NEUTRAL Vote changed from oppose. Still needs some expansion but I won't hold you back from GA. -- President Devin Purcell  Penn Federal Republic 11:05, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
@Devinpurcell: Expanded Culture and Military to the best of my ability; Economy was removed, per above. Per @Z Luna Skye: below, "List of Royal Orders" could be kept within the article. johann kümmel (talk page) 21:07, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

:COMMENT @Johann: There are several sentences I would change:

  • "Later on, Kris would say he took the inspiration to found Roskya from the Grand Kingdom of Matachewan […]" → "Kris would later state he found the inspiration to establish Roskya from the Grand Kingdom of Matachewan […]". Flows better.
  • "Later that day, a provisional government was formed, and consisted of" → "Later that day, a provisional government was formed, which consisted of" they are the subject.
  • "On the 21st of April," incorrect date format, should be "On 21 April," per the rest of the article for consistency.
  • "Imperial Order 002, due to attempting to" → "Imperial Order 002, for attempting to".
  • Also, explain what "nuke" means in the context of the above sentence.
  • "taking a break from micronationalism, and made Johann the regent Kuningas" perhaps change this to "taking a break from micronationalism, and appointed Johann the regent Kuningas". 'Made' sounds colloquial and awkward.
  • "Kris abdicated as Keisari, stating that he would abdicate to Johann for the time being" → "Kris abdicated as Keisari, stating that he would abdicate in favour of Johann for the time being" confusing sentence.
  • "In mid-July 2020" → "In mid-July" the article has already established it is 2020.
  • "On 3 December 2020" same as above.
  • "On 14 October 2020, Imperial Order 005, which designated the Empire of Roskya as a Kingdom and renamed the position of Keisari to Kuningas, was issued" → "On 14 October, Imperial Order 005 was issued, which the designated the Empire of Roskya as a Kingdom and renamed the position of Keisari to Kuningas".
  • "In addition, the Constitution of Roskya" perhaps to "Furthermore, the Constitution of Roskya"?
  • "were English, as per the Constitution," → "were English, as per the constitution".
  • "Imperial Order 006." should not be in italics.
  • "Most citizens of Roskya had their families' origins derived from either the British Isles or from Scandinavia" errr? → "Most citizens have ancestry from the British Isles or Scandinavia".

Numbers under ten should be written out, for instance "Of those, 6 lived within the administrative" → "Of those, six lived within the administrative", amongst the other such instances in the article. Can the Republic of Fox Ridge be expanded on, such as explaining how/why the crisis was solved? 'Politics and government' has too many sections, perhaps merge 'Elections' into an article titled Elections in Roskya? 'Culture' is rather short, perhaps explain the observances of Roskyan holidays in detail to expand it a bit? Also, contrast to Burdette I find 'List of royal orders' relevant and helpful to have as they are frequently mentioned throughout the article, and can thus be referred too. Lastly, for now, 'External links' should be moved at the bottom under references. Notes okay, citations okay, and the lead looks okay. ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 15:39, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Will add all changes you recommended, including the elections part. As for the Republic of Fox Ridge, the original document that outlined its terms of secession cannot be found, probably because the Roskyan Discord server was deleted sometime after dissolution. johann kümmel (talk page) 00:09, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
Should've said this way earlier, but they have been added. johann kümmel (talk page) 19:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

@Aenopia: Elections section was moved to a separate page per above; other than that, I would say the article is good. johann kümmel (talk page) 19:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
SUPPORT Decent to the eye, though could you a bit of cleaning up, example, the lists mentioned above. Also the infobox nation could (I won't force you to) be changed to infobox country.Mtonna257, President of  Melite and  Fgura 12:37, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Orders, decorations, and medals of Vishwamitra

Nominator: Oritsu.me  • Let's talk here  • Contribs 07:19, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

I feel that this article fits all standards to be a GA. There is enough links, images and information. Big thanks to friends Liam and Swena.

SUPPORT I am in favour of this becoming a good article. I have seen the articles Dhrub has made in the past that are good articles. For this not to be would be an insult. So I am in favour of it becoming a good article. - CaptainGalway (talk)
SUPPORT Perhaps the history section could use a small expansion however this is minor and overall I think it reaches the standard of Good Article Isaiah (Chat) 07:30, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
SUPPORT Very professional and detailed work. Covers a wide range of political and cultural influences and is certainly an example for micronationalists who have and want to work for the micronational community.
SUPPORT An immensely detailed page lacking nothing with regards to the various medals and awards in the system. This definitely deserves GA status.
Mtonna257, President of  Melite and  YeLand 09:03, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
SUPPORT The quality you put in your articles is outstanding, I am amazed how you can turn a page about awards into a work of art. Beautifully written and graphics to support. Well done. -- President Devin Purcell  Penn Federal Republic 12:33, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
COMMENT @Oritsu.me: For those who have not read the article, which I imagine is everyone voting support, it is of exceptional quality. I only have a few changes to be made before I can vote support:
  • Numbering points such as (a), (b), (c), etc. is unencyclopedic, and should be removed.
  • "following Vishwamitra's transition to monarchy in 2020." change to "following Vishwamitra's transition into a monarchy in 2020."
  • Perhaps change "well-managed" to "well-maintained"?

Lastly, I believe there may be an excessive amount of images: not every new section needs one. This is very noticeable on large monitors where the images are longer than the text. I would personally removed the image for "Dhrubajyoti Roy and Tanishkaa Patranabish, the two founders of the present-day honours system" to prevent this from happening, as it seems less relevant compared to "President Dhrubajyoti Roy conferring the highest honour, Friends Society Ratna on Arnab Sil in March 2019." and "Badges of several notable honours". ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 16:05, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Nominator: ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 15:47, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

The founder of MicroWiki. Essentially covers everything there is about him, plus it is referenced. Feedback appreciated.

  • OPPOSE A majority of the information comes from a singular source, an unfinished primary source with questionable verifiability. I understand that it is very difficult to write about MicroWiki topics/it's founding, however I think the citations used for information in the book should be reflected in the MicroWiki article as well. (Also unrelated note, I think that you should hyperlink the citations on your book so I can access them easier for my book. ;) Thanks!) -- President Devin Purcell  Penn Federal Republic 18:25, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT In response to the previous vote, all the information is from sources authored by Monsterfurby himself on the wiki's various iterations, or from edits I've made myself over the years after talking with him. I can verify that it's all accurate, but I can see how putting the book as the source for all the references makes it look like that's the only place the information has come from.

Vishwamitra-Aenopia relations

Nominator: .. Logan >w<  • .Terry Tibbs talk to me . 21:07, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
COMMENT A heads up, my knowledge on diplomacy/politics in general is rather limited. It is a decent article. First of all, the notes are okay, refs OK, and the images are all relevant.
Lead
Have the names in Welsh and Hindi been used in any official capacity? Otherwise I do not see any reason for them to be there. Perhaps in the opening sentence add when relations began and when they ended. It mentions "land exchanges" in the plural, but the rest of the article states only one such exchange took place. Change "De-facto ambassador" to "de facto ambassador".
History
It states the treaty of mutual recognition was signed on "the same day", but the prelude only mentions August. It is possible to expand on "regular communication between Roy and Ross", i.e. stating whether they were politically aligned, personal friends, etc? The sentence mentions Cangun Llus is situated Northern England, whilst it only mentions Bryn Glaw as being situated in India; perhaps the latter could be changed to mention which state it is in? (the sentence is also present in Treaty of land exchange) Change "various outreach programs" to simply "outreach programs". The quotation uses the title Logan I whilst the rest of the article uses Ross when it should be standardised.
Projects
Change "one week prior on 11 February 2021" to "one week prior". I would remove "which would benefit both parties" as redundant. Can "the paired cities maintained their relations following the collapse of relations between the two nations" be expanded at all? (image) perhaps change "Flags of Aenopia and Vishwamitra, along with flags of other nations at New Llandudno." to something like "Flags of Aenopia and its allies(?) at New Llandudno, featuring Aenopia and Vishwamitra."?
Collapse of relations
"Despite maintaining long relations" is an oddly worded sentence. "Other actions included unfulfillment of campaign promises, among others" expand. "tipped off" is rather informal. Perhaps the quotation can be converted into a refnote? The citation needed tag should be addressed, perhaps ask Roy for a citation?
Comparison
"First Head of State" and "First Head of Government" seems redundant.
See also
Lastly, the articles after "Foreign relations of Vishwamitra" should be alphabetical. That is all for now. ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 00:28, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

  • OPPOSE This needs expanding before it is nominated again. The climate section is extremely short, and I would like to see more information about the history, government and culture.

  • OPPOSE Same reasoning as Matt. -- President Devin Purcell  Penn Federal Republic 11:08, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE I see a lot of initial problems such as formatting issues and grammatical mistakes. The biggest problem is that the article copies large sections from Wikipedia, whose content is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0 which requires that the Wikipedia be attributed (this can be done with template:Wikipedia). Currently, the article is a copyright violation. ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 01:10, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Cupertino Alliance

Nominator: 𝄞 Strubber ♫ Contributions ♩ 00:04, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

This page was reworked back in February to the point that I believe it reaches good article status, if you disagree, please let me know your thoughts!

  • SUPPORT Decent page that I have supported for GA status for quite a while. .. Logan >w<  • .Terry Tibbs talk to me . 11:24, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE @Strubber: the spelling looks alright – though there are some instances of informal language ("Efton, who at the time was an Apple fan" should be "Efton, who at the time was a fan of Apple") – but the formatting needs work and overall I feel the article can be expanded. The lead is too short to adequately summarise key details of the article and should definitely be expanded. There are unnecessary citations and at times excessive amounts of citations for sentences when they are not needed (i.e. "Three days later, Millania rejoined the Alliance." has two (??), and "[…] with all delegates participating in a session to donate to the Canadian Red Cross." has three; for the latter, I would remove the middle citation from Montan). Some headings have unnecessary breaks between paragraphs; this is most noticeable in 'Etymology' and 'Structure', the latter section always lists the current office holder under a new paragraph when it would look much better in one. Lastly, I notice there is no longer a section for the CA's projects (e.g. the twin towns program, factbook, etc.), the addition of which is definitely needed as otherwise these go unmentioned. ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 17:18, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

  • COMMENT: @SALANDA (THE KINGDOM OF SALANDA): I did a reading of the article and found several grammatical errors. I think if you are able to fix those, it would surely be a wonderful article. I would try to fix certain portions, yet you maybe aware that English is not my first language and hence I could be mistaken. The overall article is good, there are good numbers of images, links.

New Eiffel at the 2020 MOF Games

Nominator: ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 14:25, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

  • ABSTAIN While by no means a bad article, due to the mundane nature of the event and article in question as well as the shortness of the page, I don't think it appropriate for inclusion as a Good Article. --MSTarget (talk) 17:20, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
@MissEDconexion: Royal coat of arms of Baustralia and New Eiffel Main Route 1 are shorter. Criteria two of the GA criteria states "it neglects no major facts or details"; I do believe it is of substantial length as, just like the previous two articles, it fully passes that criteria. Everything that can possibly be stated—without going into unnecessary detail—is adequately stated. As for 'mundane nature', I definitely see your point, but the 2020 MOF Games were the largest sporting event in the MicroWiki community's history, and so I believe that having sub-articles of it is fully justifiable. For instance, Nova-Occitanian Battleships Team exists. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 18:04, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

  • .SUPPORT The article is written very well. User:Emersonac
  • SUPPORT The article is written rather well and I hope to see more from you. User: ImperatorofOrini
  • OPPOSE There are a lot of problems that need to be addressed first, than I will happily change my vote to support. Firstly though, there are a huge amount – too many to name – of awkward sentencing or sentences that could simply be phrased better (e.g. 'quite' is somewhat informal). I would recommend giving the article a read-through and correcting these sentences. GAs are supposed to employ formal writing. Lastly, the article switches between using past-tense and present-tense (this is very prevalent in the history section) which needs fixing. Here are some other changes:
Infobox
  • Time zone > should mention its UTC offset for readers unfamiliar with CDT.
  • Internet TLD > links to a disambiguation page.
  • a. Websites > use template:URL, e.g. {{URL|elaroech.uefgov.ga}}. I am not keen on keeping its Discord server linked as well, but other GAs on here do have it linked as well so it seems standard. Also, it appears the link is invalid.
Lede
  • I would add Ela'r'oech (disambiguation) to the confuse template alongside the Kingdom of the Greater Elarian State.
  • "as of February 2021 was under rule of Anthony Ramirez II de facto" unless the role is secretive or kept classified there is no need to have an 'as of'. Additionally, it does not mention what role Anthony II has. The infobox says he is Prime Minister; does that mean that Emperor is a ceremonial role?
  • "Following a 2020 legislation and vote, the founding of the nations of Kakato and the 1st Artillery were recognized as the founding and establishments of Ela'r'oech as well." I find this line really confusing. Were Kakato and the 1st Artillery predecessors to Ela'r'oech or what?
  • "On the 8th of October," change to "On 8 October" per MOS.
Etymology
  • "Ela'r'oech's name means "Other World" in Dangaro," link Dangaro.
History
  • "It was called First Artillery" is it First Artillery or 1st Artillery? The article should consistently use one.
  • "The land claims included Anthony's bedroom and Charles' house. These were in Texas." recommend change to "The land claims included Anthony's bedroom and Charles' house, both of which were based in Texas." This allows better flow.
  • "Charles and a friend Anthony" use their full names for their first mention, then I recommend you refer to them by their last names (unless they are the same) for formality reasons.
  • "It was founded accidentally by Charles Madgett while working on a project that got out of hand." Elaborate.
  • "They held land claims that included Treemont, Bremerton, Washington and Round Rock, Texas." link all the place names (aside from Texas) to Wikipedia for readers unfamiliar with them.
  • "First Era, lasting from September 2020 to October 2020. The era of the first Alarian War lasted from 15 September 2020 to 1 October 2020." use just one sentence.
  • "In August 2020, anonymous people deployed some poisonous gas among Da'a'ck" change to "In August 2020, unidentified individuals". Also, elaborate 'poisonous gas'. Was it actually deadly?
  • "4 hours" change to "four hours".
  • "political journey there, he becomes Prime Minister." change to "political journey there, he became prime minister."
  • "foreign relations were at an all time good" change to "foreign relations were at an all time high".
  • "This era focuses a lot on his time as Prime Minister of the micronation." incomprehensible.
  • "the nations dragged out the war to multiple weeks past the first war" change to "the nations dragged out the conflict to multiple weeks after the first war."
  • "had indefinitely suspended his citizenship to go through." change to "had indefinitely suspended his citizenship from being approved."
  • "Alaria was taken over by extremists" when was this?
  • "Communists and Fascists" uncapitalise fascists.
  • "elections were held as parties began to pop up." is informal, change to "elections were held as parties began to be established." I presume that is what 'pop up' means?
  • "they also began to engage in foreign relations" change to "they also began to engage in diplomatic relations".
  • "They have since become involved in the Kapresh Civil War." Is it still presently ongoing? Otherwise add a date to this.
  • "He graded some buildings as well" is there any more information on what this was for, i.e. its goals etc.
  • "allow for a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy" link Don't Ask, Don't Tell to Wikipedia.
  • "It was later rejected as it got two "nay"s, no abstains, and no "aye"s" I would simply change it to "The proposal was rejected as it received only two opposition votes." or something.
  • "Prime Minister elections, with many candidates running." Hm? Incomprehensible. I believe this is missing a sentence.
  • More to follow. ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 13:21, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
  • "it was revealed that Alaria had sent two missiles towards Mageto." two missiles?? Can you clear this up for me?
  • "contents of said bill was unknown" change to "contents of said bill were unknown"
  • "bill proposed include Ela'r'oech, Bushistan, Worrell, and more." suggest change to " bill proposed include Ela'r'oech, Bushistan and Worrell among others." More formal wording.
  • "in the eyes of the lord." should be Lord; most references to religious figures are capitalised.
  • "vanity url" change to "vanity URL".
  • "Afterwards, they held on some more activity until eventually" grammatically incorrect.
  • "In March 2022, two documents officially" any idea on a closer date? (i.e. mid-March 2022).
  • "their spot in the Pact" change to "their position in the Pact".

@Ela'r'oech Charles: I believe that is it for history :) I will let you address these first concerns of mine above than I continue my review. FYI I have made some small changes and fixed the sections to the correct style. ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 12:19, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Oppose, in its current state it is simply way too short. The lede does not adequately summarise key points of the article, and it calls him a "social media influencer" although this is never explained nor appears in the article. The section 'Micronationalism' seems short. I would recommend, if possible, it go into detail on his involvement in the Bepistani Reich, Empire of Meritia, State of Vishwamitra, and the Commonwealth of Dracul.

The lede is still short, and I still think 'Micronationalism' could be greatly expanded. Just looking at Penn Federal Republic#History it appears to mention some ventures of Purcell a few times. Also, the "social media influencer" label is still not explained in the rest of the article. The other sections are okay, but can 'Music' perhaps be expanded by including how he makes music (software, mixing, instruments, etc.), his influences, musical style, and how he gets his inspiration? This article is definitely GA potential. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 22:17, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Very expansive and information; I am particularly fond of 'Early life' not going into unnecessary/excessive detail. Infobox also passes, containing only important information mentioned in the article. Although I am not sure of the claim "He has been instrumental in the development of the Modern Era of micronationalism", no longer being in the community myself, so perhaps other voters may wish to verify this.

I must confess that one defect in my editing is that I rarely, if ever, use Source Editing, though I am very slowly getting the knack of it.

OPPOSE @Mtonna257: the lede is too short—it should adequately summarise key points of the article—'Elections and referenda' should not have a navbox but rather a paragraph explaining the subject as a whole, and 'Climate' needs expanding beyond just a table. Also, can 'Military' or 'Religion' be expanded at all? ★ Luna ♥︎ (talk | edits) 02:14, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

@Mtonna257: Looks good, thanks for implementing. I agree 'Religion' is sufficient. I would also recommend adding a summary of the most important historical events in the lede. Also, is it possible to expand 'Foreign relations' a bit more? I would remove the sections for the TVB Microvision Song Contest and MOF as they are short. Perhaps add them to the first paragraph above 'Conventions and treaties'. For 'Holidays', are there any unique or distinctive ways that Melitians celebrate some holidays that could be mentioned? Particularly Founding Day, how is that celebrated? ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 18:04, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

I believe this age to be sufficiently well written and linked, including adiquate additional links for an in-debth understanding of the project. In addition, sitster article Desert Realm of Raphistan is presently GA and this article, acting as a continuation sister article to the original, in my opinion, carries on from the previous page and greatly expands on it. --MSTarget (talk) 17:24, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
  • COMMENT I have a few concerns with this article. After a quick skim through I noticed a few things. For one, the trivia section should be removed because despite it being interesting, it doesn't have a place in the article in my opinion. Second, the section "Land pre-Raphistan" is woefully undercited. The second paragraph in that section mentions "according to archaeological evidence," which should be supported by a source as well as the beautiful photo shown. The third paragraph mentions "For unknown reasons at an unknown date..." and other instances of "unknown," try to find some sources to clarify, and if the scientific community does not know then cite so. Fourth paragraph same issues with a lack of citations when mentioning the residential neighborhood planned in the 1980s. Try to find local newspaper archives online to support the mention of this neighborhood. I would suggest trying to find more citations for the abovementioned issues and just copyediting the article to see if everything is NPOV. Let me know when these issues have been addressed and I will vote. -- President Devin Purcell  Penn Federal Republic 11:12, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Devin Purcell, so in regards to your concerns, firstly, I can understand your opinion on the trivia section, personally I added it as I found it an interesting addition for the page, though I get why you may find it irrelevant. Secondly in regards to the pre-raphistan citations, those are near impossible to find due to the area in question. The evidence of native settlement is shown through the photograph and is based on first hand expeditions conducted by myself on the land and is a hypothesis thus the "unknown" phrase popping up, in regards to the neighborhood, that as well is lost to time as though I have dug into it, due to the land and small houses around it being over two hours away from the nearest populated area there is not much detail, also compounded by the facts that the development project never made it past initial surveying. The reason I know about it is through talking with locals who live in the area plus the gentleman who owns most of the surrounding lands and purchased it from said defunct development project after it failed. I will add more sources over time as I find them but for now this is what I have to work with. I am aware of many GA articles with a similar lack of citation but I nevertheless recognize your concerns. Hope this helps clear some things up. --MSTarget (talk) 14:58, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
  • COMMENT Given your reasoning mentioned above I think the lack of citations is fine; additionally, the images are sufficient. Here are some of my suggestions: 'Economy' is rather short, perhaps consider removing its subsections are turning them into paragraphs instead; can any additional dates be provided for 'Land pre-Raphistan'? In particular, the sentence: "The oceans would eventually subside and in its place, vast desert plains would form" – are there any reliable scientific estimates for approximately when this happened? 'Geography' is short, I would recommend trying to expand it if you can. Text-wise, the grammar and word choices are sufficient but some sentences could be improved, e.g. the sentence beginning with "Left without a state of his own […]" is 78 words long before a full stop. There are some minor sentences like this throughout the article. Also, remember to follow the manual of style on date formatting. Lastly, I agree with Purcell that 'Trivia' is probably not necessary; I would consider removing the section and merging most of the content into the above sections of the article. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 02:24, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Kingsland Insurrection

Nominator: 𝄞 Strubber ♫ Contributions ♩ 18:15, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

As this conflict is now long over, I think this article includes all available information on it and as such is complete. I welcome all advice on how to improve this article if its not believed to be worthy of GA status. 𝄞 Strubber ♫ Contributions ♩ 18:15, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

  • COMMENT First of all, I absolutely love this article, it was genuinely a fascinating read-through. Here are my initial thoughts: there are a few of instances of slightly informal language that can be significantly improved, for instance 'spooked' could be 'startled' and I would recommend 'second-rate' be 'amateur' instead. The infobox has some contrasting information with the rest of the article: the first paragraph of the lede says: "The conflict is considered over due to a lack of incidents" yet the infobox says the result of the conflict is "Inconclusive". The second paragraph in the lede also says: "The attacks were believed to have been conducted by anarchists", in which case if it is believed but not confirmed the infobox should say "Anarchists (alleged)" to reflect this. As for the rest of the article, what is a 'projection light'? The sentence beginning with "Allied forces then waved to a security camera […]" seems irrelevant and unimportant. "This night, Preston had a friend, named Gavin, spend the night" awkward wording: did Preston have Gavin spend the night specifically because of the possibility of an attack? Also, remove "named". "the royal family recovered abandoned weaponry used by the insurgents" abandoned weaponry such as? The sections 'Second attack' and 'Third attack' are relatively short; if they cannot be expanded at all, perhaps have both attacks under the same section – maybe titled 'Second and third attacks'? – separated instead into two paragraphs. As for the images, they are fantastic. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 00:25, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
COMMENT @ZabëlleNB: I'm glad that you enjoyed the article! I believed all of your suggestions were very fair and implemented them all. I'm not sure if I got the second sentence of the lede just right so I might edit it again if better wording pops into mind, but I added clarification like what "projection light" was referring to (now replaced with projector with a clarification of why it was there) or removed information that was unnecessary. 𝄞 Strubber ♫ Contributions ♩ 01:01, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
@Strubber: Looks good! Also, is there anything outside of the attacks that could be added? The article only details the attacks and the prelude leading up to them, did anything noteworthy happen afterwards (such as an investigation, theories on the culprits, changes in security, public opinion on the incidents, etc.) that could perhaps be added to the article? ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 13:22, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Secundomian Federation

Nominator: parker (talk) 13:35, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Been working on this for a little while, think it's made some progress. Would love feedback.

OPPOSE Red links galore, only reference is to your own talk page. Also very stubby. Needs major reworking. -- President Devin Purcell  Penn Federal Republic 14:34, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
thanks for the feedback - i've fixed most (but not all) of the red links and added references. I'll continue to add references and expand some of the non-history sections --parker (talk) 17:16, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
Great work on the references, however the red links keep it as a no from me. -- President Devin Purcell  Penn Federal Republic 13:26, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
Thanks! I've gotten it down to 0 red links (How I wish the Kleinland article still existed bc every article about Secundomian history links there). Some expansion is in the works for the culture section - hopefully complete over the weekend. --parker (talk) 14:40, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
COMMENT Looks good – spelling and word choice is admirable, references are fantastic and the images are sufficient, but I have some minor suggestions: "UTC- 6" should be "UTC−06:00" (also, perhaps link this to Wikipedia), some section headings are improperly capitalised, i.e. "Politics and Government"; only the first word should be capitalised, and can 'Economy' and 'Military' be expanded at all? 'Military' briefly mentions a navy (presumably the Secundomian Navy); can any more information on that perhaps be added? Also, I recommend adding a weatherbox template in 'Climate' for convenience to the reader. Lastly—and I hope this is not fanatical—it is a huge honour to be able to speak to you again, and I am glad to see you once again back on the wiki expanding on Secundomian-related articles :3 ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 17:37, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll implement the tweaks and expand a bit more when I get a chance. It's good to check back in, you all are doing excellent work here. I do have one question about the weatherbox - I have one in each of my Republic pages, but I was worried about implementing it here as SRSC has such a vastly different climate than the other two republics. Would you recommend two boxes or one which focuses on the capital area? I couldn't figure out what the general precedent is on other pages. --parker (talk) 19:01, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
I reckon Capital is best, having two might visually clutter the article. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 19:06, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
Agreed. I've implemented some tweaks and expansions to the Economy/Military sections, let me know if you have further suggestions. --parker (talk) 19:44, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Nominator: AlexandreO(talk) 20:17, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Comment by nominator (optional). I believe this article is well structured, detailed and written and fits all criteria for it to obtain the good article status.

COMMENT Please take my comments with a grain of salt as I only skimmed the article due to its length. It seems that many entire paragraphs of claims and statistics are unsupported by citations, especially when it comes to specific individuals' endorsements of candidates. Definitely seems like it should be shortened with many things omitted.

Renominating this since a consensus wasn't reached last time. johann kümmel (talk page) 19:13, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

COMMENT Overall a very good article (love the grammar!). I have made some changes that I hope were constructive, but I have a few questions:
  • "on the same day, Sean Dunkerque was impeached from the Grand Parliament following a vote." Was this a parliamentary vote or a public vote?
  • In 'Political parties', the reader is told that parties were not defined by law, then the article later mentions registration. Can you epxand on how registration worked (i.e. who handled it, criteria, etc.)?
  • In the same section, is there a reason as to why the entry for the Democratic Socialist Party omits a chairperson?
  • What does "Socialism until it is no longer needed" infere? As I have no political knowledge, do you know of any possible term that may be able to convinently describe said ideology? If not, I would recommend an efn note.
  • Can 'Culture' be expnded at all?

That is all from me. I would be more than happy to vote support once my concerns have been addressed. Additionally, I have an active GAN myself (DIME Magazine), and I would appreciate your two cents if you could give any feedback or a support. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 23:26, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Kingdom of Salanda

Nominatior: User:SALANDA (THE KINGDOM OF SALANDA) (talk) 20:32, 1 June (UTC)

I’d like to humbly nominate the Kingdom of Salanda article which I have worked on a lot, I’ve tried to make it as best as I can and I’m a bit nervous about nominating here, I hope that it is alright for nomination since I’ve tried my best.

  • OPPOSE (for now) @SALANDA (THE KINGDOM OF SALANDA): The grammar and formatting is decent but there are some other concerns. I will give more thorough feedback on the text itself when I have the time, but here are my initial concerns from a quick read-through:
  • The spaces before citations should be removed.
  • Punctuation should come before the citation (i.e. "…for what it was,[2]" not "…for what it was [2],").
  • There is an excessive amount of images—this is especially prevalent in 'Geography' and 'Judiciary' and the two headings under it. For some readers on smaller desktops or mobile, having two images on separate sides to each other makes the text in the middle look squished, so this should be avoided. I would recommend removing less important images or—where relevant—using Template:Multiple image.
  • In the article (aside from the infobox), there is no mention of the official languages of Salanda. Perhaps add some info about them (e.g. why they are official, number of speakers, usage in government etc.) in 'Demographics'.
  • "uncodified constitution which was used between 2 November 2020 and 13 October 2020" should be "uncodified constitution which was used between 2 November and 13 October 2020" per English standards.
  • 'Policy' and 'Sanctioned micronations and unrecognition' are both incredibly short; I recommend removing the heading of both sections and merging the relevant text into 'Foreign relations and policy'.
  • In 'Holidays', the column in the table titled Details should instead be a quick summary of what the holiday is about and how it is celebrated. Public holidays in New Eiffel may perhaps have a few good examples. This will be helpful to readers for learning about Salandarian holidays.
  • In 'Citizenship', there are two mentions of Discord that should be capitalised.
  • 'Race and ethnicity' is fairly short, perhaps merge this into 'Demographics'?
  • Can 'Economy' and 'Education and Research' be expanded at all?

Please ping me once you have addressed these concerns :) Additionally, I have an active GAN myself (DIME Magazine), and I would appreciate your two cents if you could give any feedback or a support. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 00:46, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Comment by nominator: Since the previous nomination I have awaited a reasoning to actually act on the suggestions I was given.

Comment by nominator: Nominating due to the expansion of a lot of sections.

  • COMMENT: It is my opinion that the article title does not fit the manual of style which states that only articles on kings and queens are to be in the format of [name] of [name of realm] while other monarchs will go as [name], [title] of [realm]. So I think that the article shall be renamed to Christina I, Summi Imperatoria of Cycoldia. In addition, I would suggest that the huge size images of the badges and sashes which she has earned can be got rid off from the page as they make the article messy. The table listing the awards can also be got rid off. Oritsu.me  • Let's talk here  • Contribs, 23 June 2021, 01:07 IST

Principality of Kaetania

Nominator: Prince UndeadReece 5:07, 6 July 2022 (PST)

Comment by nominator: Nominating due to quality expansion of information in a lot of sections.

  • OPPOSE Article needs a lot of work before it can be considered for GA status—the article violates MicroWiki's Manual of Style by using an incorrect date format and non-encyclopaedic language ("Yes, Kaetania is run by 3 teens, 1 toddler, and three dogs. Deal with it because it ain't changing." and "Must I explain more?"); every sentence is a new paragraph when paragraphs should usually be at least several lines long; some sentences contain typographical errors (i.e. "Eventually, it ended early than expected"); some sections should be made into their own articles—such as the Kaetan language; the article's lead is too short to adequately summarise key points; and in the lead, the date format and time notation (fairly unimportant and negligible to most readers) are mentioned before Kaetania's government system and leaders, which is vital to the existence of the micronation. The order of the sections is good though. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 22:46, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Frederick Augustus, Grand Duke of Litvania

Nominator: --Fridericus Augustus, Magnus Dux Litvaniae 21:14, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
    • COMMENT The only thing I, as the nominator, would add, is that it's poorly illustrated because I don't have any photos of me doing "micronational" things. --Fridericus Augustus, Magnus Dux Litvaniae 10:09, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE The largest concerns for me are with the subsections of 'Other nations'—the brevity of the sections are quite noticeable and I reckon they could be expanded:
  • Perhaps explain what the office of Minister of Cartographic Affairs of the Kingdom of Sayville entails and how demanding the position is, and the date and reason for Augustus' induction into the Order of the Sayvillian Lion.
  • "ennobled as the Earl of Kraków, and was awarded the honorable style of Maharlika Kassanga" when?
  • "…where he advised the monarch of appropriate forms of legislative assembly and the legislative-executive balance" such as? (elaborate)
  • "He serves there as a peer, a member of parliament, and a soldier" can this be elaborated on at all?;
  • "His liberal-social views did not gain him many favours with the ruler" what were Alexander I Constantine's political views? It would be relevant to add it to this sentence.
In addition, I have a few minor concerns:
  • References come after full stops
  • His delegation in the Grand Unified Micronational is mentioned in the lead but no where else in the rest of the article.
  • "He is critical of the far-left tendencies in his generation" what are the far-left tendencies in his generation?
  • The section Titles, styles, honors, and arms looks fairly long; perhaps create it as a separate stand-alone article?

That is all for now. Also, I have an active GAN myself, Logo of MicroWiki, and I would appreciate your two cents. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 14:19, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

    • COMMENT Thank you for your constructive feedback. I have addressed all of your points. I elaborated more on the "Other nations" section, and removed any portions that I felt I was not able to expand. I fixed the references. I have also removed sections from "Political views" that I felt were not relevant, verifiable, or substantial. I've added a new section regarding GUM service. As for your suggestion regarding the "Titles, styles, honors, and arms" section, I would think that a list of my honors should occupy a place on my own article? I also thought perhaps they could be reorganized into two columns, but I'm not sure how to do that. I apologise for not giving feedback on your nomination, I didn't feel it was my place, and also didn't notice it somehow. Thanks again. --Fridericus Augustus, Magnus Dux Litvaniae 18:29, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
Nice work, especially on the addition of your work in the GUM! To me, all the subsections under Titles, styles, honors, and arms are quite long, making half of the article consist of just images/lists. Perhaps keep Titles and styles and create an article titled List of titles and honors of Frederick Augustus, Grand Duke of Litvania (or the whatever the correct title would be—I am not familiar with nobility/royalty terminology) and move the honours there. Standards and arms can probably stay, but why not move the image of the coat of arms of Frederick Augustus to the section "Cheskgariyan-Litvanian Commonwealth"? You mention a lack of images, so perhaps that would help illustrate the article a bit more. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 17:19, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
And also, I would add why the merge attempt with the Noble Republic of Lurk failed. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 17:23, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
Yes, I will move the honors to a separate article, and keep the titles and styles there. The arms will also stay. They are my personal arms and are relevant to the article. Many thanks. --Michal Nowacki 19:25, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

    • Reply: @ZabëlleNB: Hi there! Yes there is, the word in Maltese is spelt with the stroked h (ħ-Ħ) but due to many people not having Maltese keyboard installed (and seriously doubt if people know about it, even from the Maltese themselves), I had to include a non-stroked h.

  • COMMENT Overall, it looks very good! I made a few minor changes, but before I can vote support I have two recommendations that might benefit the article:
  • The opening sentence is quite long; perhaps changing the last clause to be independent as "It derives its colors from the flag of Malta." might help loosen it up a bit.
  • "No physical flags bearing the design currently exist." The use of currently should generally be avoided in an encyclopaedia—add "as of July 2022" or whenever that statment was factual. Do the same for the statement in Rejected proposal, accepted variant.
Other than that, everything looks okay. Short but sweet! The images are relevant and high quality. Article is very well-written, concise, perfect grammar and heraldic terminology is used correctly. See also okay, refs and footnotes okay. Good job :) ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 11:37, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

The GA with the highest number of votes (a tie will be broken by the admins) will be featured on the Main Page for two weeks at the end of August 2022, and go on a list to hopefully be featured again some point in the future.

August and September

Motto of MicroWiki

  • Comment by nominator: this took several hours to research and expand, but I finally think it is ready for GA status due to its accuracy, levels of detail and good grammar. I hope it is not too confusing and that the list of mottos section at the bottom will help make any possibly confused readers better comprehend it. I would love any feedback! ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 10:24, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

NEUTRAL It is a well-written article but it needs citations desperately. I know it may be hard but you may be able to find them from the archives of the site via Internet Archive. When fixed it will be a support. -- President Devin Purcell  Penn Federal Republic 11:29, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Flag of the Gymnasium State

Nominator:AtomCZ (talk) 11:43, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment by nominator: Finally got around to improving Gymnasian articles and accidentaly created one of the longest flag related pages on the website, might as well give this a try. AtomCZ (talk) 11:43, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment I have made a few edits but here are some concerns I have:
  • Does State flag need to be capitalised?
  • "The Imperium was the first proto-micronation before the Socialist State of Gymnasium" I think state-like community should be used here. Or, alternatively, perhaps "The Imperium was the first state-like community (proto-micronation) before the Socialist State of Gymnasium"?
  • Add dates in 'The Imperium' for when it dissolved and when the flag was created. Or, if unknown, add an estimate.
  • "The design was however quickly determined to give the impression that the micronation was a communist state and could be associated with the communist regime of Czechoslovakia or the contemporary Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia and a replacement was considered." The text references that this was an undesirable outcome, but to whom was this so? Was it the general populace and why was it bad? i.e. associated with evil history/controversies. Explain.
  • "After dissolution of Socialist State" is missing a few thes.
  • "minus the hammer and sickle" is this heraldic terminology? Otherwise "minus" sounds unencyclopaedic here.
  • "proposed for the territory it consists of was considered as it's official flag, but was never used." Any particular reason why?
  • Additionally, the lead can be greatly expanded to include a few quick points about the flag's previous designs. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 17:38, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the feedback, tried to implement it as much as I was able to. AtomCZ (talk) 06:17, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Republic of Suverska

Nominator: Suverska2021 (talk | edits) 16:08, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment by nominator: This micronation had been my project for nearly nine years, and a lot of the work I and others have put into it are reflected in this article, which I believe deserves the recognition of Good Article status. Thank you! ~ Atyko (Suverska2021 (talk))
SUPPORT It looks very good—I should ask you to help me write articles in the future! The grammar and word choice is amazing, article is well-illustrated and the templates used are a nice touch, the sections are relevant to the article, and the refs and notes are sufficient. Although I have made several edits there are some concerns I have that should be quick fixes for you:
  • Date formats should be standardised to DD/MM/YYY; the article currently uses both this and MM/DD/YYYY.
  • "European settlement in the area can be traced back to the 1840s" is any more information available on this, such as which country they settled from and perhaps why?
Other than that, great work! ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 17:41, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Thank you for your kind comments and your suggestions! I appreciate it lot. I have now standardised the dates used in the article and added an extra paragraph of sourced context to the Pre-Suverian history section. Cheers. Suverska2021 (talk | edits) 20:30, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
SUPPORT Well written and thorough. -- President Devin Purcell  Penn Federal Republic 11:32, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Flag of Eintrachtia

Nominator:C.R.Eintrachtia (talk) 8:18, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment by nominator: Since 2017, I have been working on flags of micronations especially my own. This article isn't that old, but I have been working on it a lot. I try to include as many details as possible into the article and make it as easy to read as possible. The article still has a lot to put in so I will be constantly updating the article and make sure all the information is up to date. Thanks and cheers! User:C.R.Eintrachtia (talk) 8:18, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
SUPPORT: The article gives a very detailed description of Eintrachtia’s flag and the history of its flag.User:SALANDA (THE KINGDOM OF SALANDA) (talk) 10:05 25 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Thank you for the support! I appreciate it very much. C.R.Eintrachtia (talk) 9:12, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
SUPPORT It's very good, the details, the wording and the simplification. I like the addition of the Royal Standard and the Chancellor's Standard, the flag construction sheet is good as well. Personally, my favorite are the designs. I love this. User:Polarveinn (talk) 11:39, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
COMMENT @C.R.Eintrachtia: sorry for the late review but I just got the chance to read through it all. I think the lead could easily be expanded into another paragraph summarising the history of the previous flag designs, but other than that the article is sufficient enough to meet all the other criteria—well-written, illustrated, expansive and sections are great. Fantastic work! I hope to see more such articles from you in the future :) I would gladly change my vote to a support once said section has been added. Additionally, I have a few active nominations myself (motto of MicroWiki, micronation and first edit on MicroWiki) and would appreciate any feedback you could possibly give me. Thanks, ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 21:40, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Thanks a lot for your comments! I would try my best to update the article until it fits your requests. I will also be sure to check out your nominations! Thanks for acknowledging my work :) C.R.Eintrachtia (talk) 9:57, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Micronation

Nominator: ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 23:48, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment by nominator: The big one—I would appreciate any feedback on its content, grammar, etc. I have been wanting to get this to GA status since May, but thought it was an unachievable task to do alone. Then, beginning on 16 August, I started extensively researching the topic—independently through primary sources like micronational websites and blogs, than I read macronational academic papers, books and news articles. I used these sources to create what I believe to be an informative, neutral and expansive article on the topic of micronationalism, giving due weight to numerous topics and viewpoints of macronational academics and micropatriologists alike. I have done extensive spell checking and picked the best word choices and images I can—but I love feedback! ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 23:48, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Silištea

Nominator: StefanSNG (talk) 14:22, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment by nominator: I am not 100% confident that this article is worthy of good article status, but I have hit editor's block and I can't think of any more stuff to add. I think it's pretty extensive for a capital city article, and I tried my best to make it look nice. Please tell me what I could improve.
  • SUPPORT A well-described article. Illustrated, and just as informative. Deserves GA. Mtonna257, President of  Melite and  Fgura 14:59, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment: A population of 2,398? The article does not make it clear whether or not they are aware of Snagov. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 18:04, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
    • Response to comment: It clearly says that around 50 Silišteans have Snagovian citizenship. The state does claim the entirety of the village, but it does acknowledge the fact that it only controls a little portion, that's why in the article you can see the phrases "de facto" and "de jure" used a lot. I hope you understand. Though, of course it can be worded differenly in the infobox. I can fix it.. somehow. StefanSNG (talk)
      • Sorry for the delay, I will probably be able to review the article later tonight. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 21:47, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT The article is very detailed and well described, the article is also well referenced and neatly formatted it is definitely worthy of Good Article Status. User:SALANDA (THE KINGDOM OF SALANDA) (talk) 17:10, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE: @StefanSNG: the article occasionally uses informal, non-encyclopaedic or opinionated language throughout, i.e. "things are continuing to change for the better," "Regarding cultural heritage, we could consider at least two categories," and the ref note "A lot of Snagovians have a lot of talent in the sport and it's locally believed that with enough funds, Snagov could have a very good team, capable of competition with the big Romanian clubs." These would be fine in other texts, such as academic works, but on MicroWiki one should focus only on the facts and remain neutral. Also, try to avoid contractions. A few other concerns I have include:
  • "It is expected to slowly rise over the years until it hits 2,500, and from then onwards it will begin to decline." According to whom?
  • The Snagovian Federation's claimant on 18 June 2020 is mentioned in the prose but should also be added to the history section, and could perhaps be expanded upon.
  • The section Customs and traditions uses etc. a whole lot; I would honestly remove these as unnecessary, but one could also use alternatives, such as "among others".
Aside from those, everything else is good: most other sentences are written well-enough, images are great, sufficient formatting, sections are long enough and necessary (especially love Geography and subsection Climate) and the references are good. With just some better word choices throughout, this could definitely achieve GA status! Additionally, I have a few active nominations myself (motto of MicroWiki, micronation and first edit on MicroWiki) and would appreciate any feedback you could possibly give me. Also, if you ever need help with anything feel free to ask—I would he happy to help bring this to GA status and answer any questions you may have. Thanks, ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 02:07, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
    • @ZabëlleNB: Thanks for reviewing the article and pointing out what can be improved. I will work on it later today using your advice.
      • @ZabëlleNB: I have edited the article. Please check it out once again when you have the time, maybe you can change your vote! StefanSNG (talk) 13:36, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
  • NEUTRAL While it is a very informative in-depth article, I still believe that there are large blocks of text without citations that should be cited, even if you have to SELFPUB some of the info via a government news source. -- President Devin Purcell  Penn Federal Republic 13:42, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
    • I can put a reference for almost every piece of text on there. I didn't because I thought it would be too many, and, some links would be the same (since two separate pieces of information are commonly on one page, in my reference websites). I will work on it later tommorow and maybe you can check it once again. StefanSNG (talk) 16:51, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT The article is well written, many photos. A rare example of how we should strive for our articles to be. Great work gg -aidan does not speak melayu (talk) 18:18, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for the boring topic, but I hope reviewers will find it well-researched, as expansive as possible and well-written.

2nd Congress of the Christian Nationalist Party (Melite)

Nominator: Mtonna257, President of  Melite and  Fgura 17:40, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

This is an article I took work on developing and putting together. Please do not hesitate to criticize :) God bless and thanks! Mtonna257, President of  Melite and  Fgura 17:40, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

  • SUPPORT It is indeed a pretty good article, my only issues with it would be that there are way too many quotes from members, and the overall page makes me feel... claustrophobic for some reason. Maybe try putting some images on the left side? You could also make the gallery smaller, and.. that's it really. Other than these things that make me personally uncomfortable, it seems fine and ready for GA status. Don't jump to conclusions and jump to editing like I said, wait for others to comment first :) StefanSNG (talk) 17:56, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
*OPPOSE: the lead (or prose) can be greatly expanded; currently, it only states that a congress happened and where it took place. The lead should summarise key points of the article—what was the purpose of the congress, notable events that took place, background information, what did it achieve, etc. "An interesting detail…" and "Interestingly enough, the next speaker…" are un-encyclopaedic and should be rephrased. I share a similar concern as StefanSNG regarding the quotation boxes; many of them seem pointless, for example "With that, / I now declare the SECOND Congress of the Christian Nationalist Party OPEN. / — Matthew T." could be removed as "Tonna finally declares the Congress open" really leaves nothing else to be desired. I think a few of them can remain though, for example the opening of the Congress speech and speech by Quintus de Vitaliis seem particularly important and probably difficult to condense. Lastly, the infoboxes for the flag and emblem of the Christian Nationalist Party look like overkill; the images are sufficient. Other than that, the grammar is perfect and I really like how you have condensed and worded the text under Proceedings—it was a very fascinating and lovely thing to read, and I am wholly satisfied with the information that is given. I do not think MicroWiki has a GA of this nature, so I would really love to see this approved to GA status with these few changes mentioned above. Thanks for the fantastic articles! Additionally, I have two GANs myself, Motto of MicroWiki and First edit on MicroWiki, and I would appreciate if you could give your two cents. A fair warning though, I am told they are very boring to read! ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 03:12, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
