Commonwealth of Ballinfoyleburg

Nominator: A Thomas Jacobs (talk) 17:14 Friday 19 August 2022 (GMT)
  • OPPOSE The wording is great, but other aspects of the article could use a bit of work: in etymology it should explain what berg means; the historical affiliations box is fairly large and includes a large portion of unused space to its right—I would recommend adjusting this in |width=; most of the sections after '2022 presidential election' consist of a single sentence or two—these should either be expanded if possible or merged into other sections; can 'Politics and government' be expanded at all? Perhaps expand on what powers and responsibilities the positions hold, such as the presidential offices and the differences between the council of ministers and federal assembly. You could also explain how the Order Police maintains the order, such as what methods they use to enforce the law etc.; in 'micronational recognition', it is not explained what "special status" or "partial recognition" is, which may be confusing to most readers; 'States' and 'Territories outside of Galway' are also rather short, perhaps they can be expanded slightly with some introductory-type information about each state, and the sections could be added as subsections to 'Geography and climate'. The other sections are good, and I particularly like 'Geography and climate' and 'National Symbols'. Although this is quite a bit of work, there is definitely GA potential here! ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 16:22, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE One singular reference for the entire article, and it's for the weather data. Needs to be expanded and cited properly, echoing many above concerns. -- President Devin Purcell  Penn Federal Republic 11:34, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Grand Unified Micronational election, August 2022

Nominator: Horatioeden (talk) 22:23, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment by nominator: I think this is a sufficiently accurate, comprehensive and sourced accounting of the events of the August 2022 election which meets the requirements for a GA. Since I wrote most of it I don't want to say too much more (clearly I have some degree of bias) but I think its pretty good lol
  • OPPOSE: the biggest concern for me is the lack of content which thus compromises the article's expansiveness and scope—the lead is way too short in its current state, not summarising key points from the article; "Campaign" is incredibly short, and "Results" is made up of too many quotations where shorter excerpts would prove more encyclopaedic; additionally, "Aftermath" could be expanded to include reactions to the results of the election. "Background" is sufficient and a good example of what the other sections should ideally look like. Although a few years old and probably not worthy of GA if it had been proposed today, Abeldane federal election, August 2017 may have some good suggestions on how to format this article's aftermath section :) ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 17:57, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE For such a high-profile election, the article is very poor and the lede needs to be expanded and properly cited. -- President Devin Purcell  Penn Federal Republic 12:13, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Sprinske Empire

Nominator: Emperor Aaron I of Sprinske (talk | edits), 11:37, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

I’ve been consistently editing this article since June 2022, but now I believe that it is ready to be added to this list, i’d be happy to hear feedback on what there is to be improved about the article and overall you’re opinions on it,

OPPOSE Unencyclopedic article, article is biased to the government. Just one example is "...one of the nation’s citizens vandalised the nation’s MicroWiki page and was deported, he then formed a terrorist organisation..." -- President Devin Purcell  Penn Federal Republic 12:24, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
OPPOSE The History of the Micronation wikipage is ≠ to the history of the nation. Improve and I'll reconsider. Mtonna257, President of  Melite and  Fgura 12:34, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
@User:Mtonna257 I’m looking at the article’s history right now, what used to be different to the way the article is now? Also, if you’re referring to the section about the civil war and how a few things have changed, that’s because I spoke to the leader of West Sprinske and he told me that the information I put in the article was wrong because during the civil war, he had been deliberately giving me the wrong information, Emperor Aaron I of Sprinske 12:42, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Republic of Ajdinland

Nominator: King Ajdin 11:52 Sunday 26 February 2023 (GMT)
  • Comment by nominator: I think that my page fits most if not all of the criteria to recieve the "Good Article" status. Any feedback will definitely be appreciated. (PS: I edit the page on mobile, so I apologize for any inconveniences that you might encounter on PC)
  • Oppose: Definitely take a look at the page on a desktop if you ever get a chance, many images do not format well. Aside from that, even at first glance there are multiple issues. Many instances of inappropriate bolding and italicizing of text, there's a biographical article just shoved within this article, there's an "about this page" section which is completely unneeded, there's multiple formatting errors when it comes to linking, there's a WIP tag, and the article claims to be at "war" with another micronation that has been dissolved since 2021. These things need addressing, and I haven't even closely analyzed the writing of the article itself yet. - 𝄞 Strubber ♫ Contributions ♩ 18:43, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Kingdom of Juniperia

Nominator: Westavia 15:12, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment by nominator: Its fine if it does not get approved, I would just like some feedback :D
  • Oppose: Many formatting issues, both within the main infobox and sprinkled throughout the article. Misformatted headers, geography section that just says "Juniperia". Subdivisions table takes up a lot of space without providing much information (probably the coat of arms making it look so large). History section needs a lot of work, its confusing to read and see how everything fits together and flows into each other. Legislative and judicial sections should focus more on explaining the systems and maybe the history, bulleted lists of who make up the systems aren't entirely needed and don't fit very well in it's current state as it makes the article appear as though its substantially made up of those. - 𝄞 Strubber ♫ Contributions ♩ 18:48, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Federal Union of Wegmat

Nominator:  Prime Minister Cole Baird  My Talk Page • My contributations  01:04, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

OPPOSE Looks good, but there are a few minor things that need to be addressed before I conduct a full review:

  • Technically speaking we could uncontroversially regard private property as de facto autonomous regions, however Wegmat claims territory which it does not administer nor control, such as national parks, forests and other private land. For instance Bushwood, which claims Wegmat Intermicronational Stadium, is owned/administered by the Cook County Land Bank Authority, with the stadium actively seating less than fourteen individuals to avoid trouble with the United States Law Enforcement. Furthermore, Golfia claims a golf course that I doubt Wegmat has established de facto control over. Recommend rephrasing.
  • There are two citation needed tags that need to be addressed.
  • Leon Montan will have to be changed per MicroWiki:Pseudonyms.
  • Lots and lots of errors with the citations!! Remember that they should all follow the same citation style. The template of citation 11 is broken while citations 4, 20, 22–25 are bare URLs. Some of the URL titles citing Wegmat General Broadcaster differ from their news article titles when these should be identical. Citation 6 ("Pictures of visit to the Conch Republic") might be a permanent dead link. 17 ("27th November quorm") has been successfully archived. I would implement these myself but I am not sure what citation style they should be in; the author usually decides this.

Other than my aforementioned concerns I have fixed the capitalisation of section headers. This article is definitely GA worthy with just a few edits after this. Please let me know once you have addressed the above concerns and I will get to writing a full review :P Additionally, I have an active GAN myself, J25, and would appreciate your two cents! ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 13:08, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

@Wegmat: Are you able to take this yet? ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 16:18, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
The article has been updated:
  1. Wegmat as its whole is considered a de facto autonomous region because of its claims of public land. Only the land of Cenwister and parts of Gliffork and New Finland are owned by Wegmat Government members according to US law. Bushwood is the only piece of private land where a person might be charged for trespassing to enter. All other land is public land of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, which is mentioned many times. National Parks and National Forests mentioned in the article are Weg entities administered by WNFA and WNPA. A reasonable American reader would understand they are no national parks of forests in Northern Illinois, especially in an urban area where Wegmat is located. Because Golfia is operated by a private company, it is an autonomous province, not a province, it's stated in the article. When referring to Golfia geographically it is just called a golf course because it is easier to read Golfia rather than the full legal name Golfia Autonomous Province.
  2. Fixed citations
  3. All citations fit the same format, citation six is an Instagram post and may require users to sign in.
  4. The article is also up to date with information regarding the new presidency and recent foreign affairs

In my personal opinion, I believe this article is eligible for GA status.  Prime Minister Cole Baird  My Talk Page • My contributations  14:59, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Happy October! Following my last line of boring GANs how about something different and more exciting—a road! Okay… but it has eight citations, lots of images (we see the entire road), is well-written and I am very happy with how I stylised the article. I plan on nominating some other New Eiffelic transport-related articles while I study more of MicroWiki's history and plan on what future articles to either copyedit or create next in relation to the discipline.

Elarian-Alarian Conflict

Nominator: Ela'r'oech Charles (talk) 15:28, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Just trying to make sure that this article is of any good quality. I've worked a lot on this article and it's related stubs/articles/etc. Overall, the goal here is to get advice on how to expand upon it or if there's anything I should do to help adjust it. I don't believe it will become a GA, I just hope it can look nicer overall after I nominate it and maybe one day I can get my second GA. Ela'r'oech Charles (talk) 15:28, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

  • Oppose: Very long and unjustified lead paragraphs, the statistic sections don't really add much, especially the table on missile launches (?), main article redirects don't use proper formatting, other sections don't fully explain the subject they are intending too, lots of quotes that don't really add much context, very long infobox (makes it hard to grasp the concept from a quick look), and from a simple look a lot of the stuff is not presented in a completely honest way (A hydrogen bomb that you have to click on a link for a then go through an article to learn its a water ballon or look for a note that isn't mentioned under the last sentence of the article?). See also section also includes weird formatting and articles that are already linked to in the main article things and there is no dedicated section for notes so it just shows up at the bottom. Lot's of work is needed especially considering one image is used and the rest of the blank space is made up of a "Series on" template. - 𝄞 Strubber ♫ Contributions ♩ 18:56, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Republic of Juniperia

Nominator: Iêsan Jéan 8:34 Wednesday November 2 2022 (PST)
  • OPPOSE @Westavia: Empty sections need to be expanded (GAs cannot have these). The first two sections of History are quite short, and if they cannot be expanded I would remove the section headers and just keep the text. Perhaps expand Under Westavia with more information on the "later stories" Juniperia was mentioned in, and in Under Mogunesia, elaborate more about what the Sack of Nesia was and how it impacted Mugunesia's decision regarding a possible military expedition in Juniperia. The lead of Politics and government could possibly be expanded with an elaboration of how Juniperia became a stern follower of Monroism and Ergatism, and if it has had any role in influencing said ideologies? As all offices in Government Offices are vacant I would remove the table and convert it into a simple text-only list; also, elaborate on what each office does—its functions, responsibilities, powers, etc. There are two Economy sections?? The article keeps referencing legends and myths, but they do not appear to be mentioned anywhere. I would love to hear more about them under Culture and media. Geography and climate is a decently lengthy section, and try to aim for all sections—where possible—to resemble it as a point of reference :) Citations should not be bare URLs. Outside of that, there are issues with improper capitalisation and incorrect punctuation that needs to be addressed, for example "…it into Gapla via a Special Autonomous Region, Following [should he lowercase] an executive order in August." I hope you will continue to work on this article! Also, I have seen you around MicroWiki these past few weeks, so thank you for your contributions :3 Additionally, I have two active GANs myself (J25 and Dead Tree Lane), and would appreciate your two cents!

Dead Tree Lane

Nominator: ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 00:17, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment @ZabëlleNB: Now, I believe a full opposition to this article would be too harsh, as its a wonderful one. Maybe explain more about how the dissolution of New Eiffel affected the traffic on the road, as well as add in who or what traveled on the road. Otherwise I think, with the necessary revisions this article would be in tip-top shape for being a GA. And thank you for your contribution Mr Skye.

Rank Republic of MMBS

Nominator: G.Márton (talk) 19:58 sunday 06 nov 2022 (GMT)
COMMENT @G.Márton: This was really fun to read; thanks for writing it! Here are some of my points—I really like the lead, but it concerns mostly the legal and political aspects of the MMBS—I would add some short, summarised sentences regarding its history, culture and maybe demographics; most of the subsections under Before micronational history are fairly short—I recommend removing them all and converting the text into a paragraph or two; the "The Age of War" section is really short, perhaps you could expand upon it by summarising some info from Újborókaföld civil war; "Provinces" is really long and contains way too many subsections—the text is copied verbatim from the area's eponymous MicroWiki entries. The text should be made much shorter by summarising only the key points of each area—readers will look at their separate MicroWiki articles if they are looking for more info on them; the three instances of Rank Republic of MMBS in bold text in "Demographics" is not necessary; the subsections under "Important ethnicities" are not needed—not every new subject has to have its own subsection, this will clog up an article for readers; same point for Holidays, perhaps combine the holidays with little information on them into single paragraphs (i.e. "Second Saturday of April" is quite long, so it can justifiably be its own paragraph); under "Operation of the state", can "Legislation" be expanded at all?; merge "Domestic policy" into "Operation of the state". That is all for now—these are my largest concerns overall. This definitely has the potential to achieve GA status; for instance, every other section in Culture aside from the aforementioned Holidays is fantastically written and formatted, with each section having abundances of only relevant information on them. This is a good section to use as a guide for the rest of the article. Please ping me once you have addressed all of my concerns, and do not be afraid to politely refute any of my points or ask me any questions on my talk page!

  • Oppose: Decent information, but after you get past that this article is made up of a lot of tables that take up multiple screens. Capitalization isn't correct in a lot of section headers, lot's of "Part of series on" templates that aren't needed, formatting oddities like (see: Duchy of Slavonia) which is already linked to a couple sentences prior, a currency that just links to a wiki page on "money", empy columns in the tables, unneeded random photos in the tables, and an icon in the top right of the article that serves no purpose, a lot of sources go to wikipedia pages and almost none are formatted properly outside of being a link. - 𝄞 Strubber ♫ Contributions ♩ 19:03, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

  • Comment are there any sources available on the background of how E. Peterbus Unum was written/by whom? Maybe also add when the episode was aired and on what channel. Additionally, could Influence on micronationalism perhaps be expanded at all? Lastly, I have two other concerns—the sentence starting "Many of Peter's friends obtain various goods" should be split or avoid using however twice; job titles like Mayor, Officer etc should not be uppercase. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 22:51, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Comment by nominator: I don't believe the page is fit as a Good Article in its present form. In its latest revision, the page prominently features deprecated templates, broken files, redlinks, and a cleanup tag that has been left for nearly three years (revision).

      • @ZabëlleNB:/@Devinpurcell: the issue regarding deprecated templates still remains – {{Infobox nation}} as noted in MP:NSI and MW style guidelines is not supposed to be used at all, with this page in particular being the only one on the site still using it. Additionally, it still features {{Available languages}} which has by and large been outmoded by the interwiki language expansion in the past year, and is generally been phased out in favour of conventional interwiki linking.

Commonwealth of Ballinfoyleburg

Nominator: Ludwig Collins 08:43 Wednesday 1 March 2023 (GMT)

I have taken feedback into account and improved this page.

  • Oppose: Infobox is hard to navigate and is very long, "part of series on" could easily be turned into a less instrusive navbox, tons of image are just discord screenshots, many sections that can be condensed especially considering many (especially in military) are a few sentences long, history needs to be reworked, it is unsustainable and unhelpful to have a month by month play by play of the history, tables take up a lot of space, and references are hardly formatted outside of being links. - 𝄞 Strubber ♫ Contributions ♩ 19:08, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE per above. The article is really cluttered but definitely as potential. For the infobox, I would probably remove 'Status' and 'Location' as redundant (per the map, the reader already knows where Ballinfoyleburg is); definitely shorten the 'Independence from the Republic of Roscamistan' part to include only very important key events; and is the Internet TLD necessary? There is one citation needed tag in "February 2023" that needs to be addressed; "One party era" is empty; remove all the sections under "National and state awards" so that it is only text and expand more on each award (separate them by paragraph if need be); and I reckon "Geography and climate" could be greatly expanded with a little effort. I reiterate Strubber's point regarding "Military". ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 11:50, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Royal Order of the Sovereigns

Nominator: 𝄞 Strubber ♫ Contributions ♩ 18:37, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Comment by nominator: This article covers everything about the order, and I think serves as a good example of what a page on an award should look like. Length may be an objection, but I feel like this covers everything while not relying on a list of recipients or displays of insignia to extend page length.

  • COMMENT Overall pretty good! Here are some of my concerns before I can vote support:
  • I would combine the two paragraphs in the lead;
  • "Currently there is only one inductee" – avoid using currently in an encyclopaedia—add as of when;
  • "order was founded, 20 February 2023." – repeating the date is redundant as already mentioned in the lead;
  • Recommend removing the sections under Privileges as the text is rather short. Perhaps separate them by four paragraphs instead;
  • In the infobox: "C&S (Current)" – is "(Current)" really necessary?;
  • "Membership in the order was the first and currently only way" – reads quite jagged—also, as of?;
  • "order are eligible for receive heraldic supporters" – should be to;
  • "at the time they received membership in the order." – recommend "at the time they receive membership in the order.";
  • "Currently the only member of the order" – as of?;
  • "The position of King of Arms is currently vacant." – see above. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 16:35, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
@ZabëlleNB: Implemented a lot of the suggestions except two. I don't agree with removing the sections under privileges, I recognize they are short so they are formatted to not appear in the table of contents while still being there for people to easily find what they are looking for and understand the privileges at a glance without a bullet list. The second thing is the (Current) in the infobox, it is necessary due to how post-nominals work in the order, which is dependent on who the Sovereigns/Grand Masters are. - 𝄞 Strubber ♫ Contributions ♩ 16:45, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Democratic Republic of Subejia

Nominator: Qadri223 (Talk)

Comment by nominator: My micronation has been three-year development and the article seems to be good at this point. Qadri223 (Talk)

  • COMMENT In terms of content, the lead is sufficient, and the images are good; but many of the sections are fairly short. I would remove the 'December 2021 floods' and 'Post-floods era' headers and just merge that text into the above; also, there is no need for a new space every sentence, merge the text to create a paragraph; perhaps add some text in 'Administrative divisions' summarising each of the states; 'Geography' can definitely be expanded (this is an extreme example of what kind of information could be added); and 'Culture' looks far too short as well. Additionally, Notes, Refs and External looks are properly formatted and relevant. Definitely a promising article with just a few expansions! ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 14:08, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE Has a lot of non-encyclopedic language, content is somewhat dubious in its verifiability, and many sections seriously lack proper amounts of content. Grammatical correctness and language needs to be reviewed. The lacking sections in question are § Geography, § Human Rights (which also definitely contains some fairly biased language), § Etymology, and the sections in § History relating to flooding. Many other parts of the article need to be reviewed for relevant information and objective statements. Europaren (talk) (contribs) 05:24, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

2020 Indonesian micronations shock

Nominator: Nabil nordamdie (talk) 08:26, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Comment by nominator: I think this page has been comprehensively and extensively documenting an example of interactions between micronations and the macronational media and how the general public will respond to any micronation, which remains something challenging for micronationalists. Nabil nordamdie (talk) 08:26, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

  • SUPPORT Fantastic article—neutral, accurate and well-referenced. Very fascinating as well; thanks for writing it! The only issue I found was with the spelling and grammar of certain phrases but I copyedited it so it should be good to go now. @Nabil nordamdie: I have two small comments: "An expert in sociology" and "Former West Java police chief" should say their names. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 16:29, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
  • SUPPORT great article, would make more people know about micronations in Indonesia, which most micronationalists don't know about them. As an Egyptian, the only Afro-Asian country, I think it is necessary to encourage people to know about more micronations in regions like Asia, Africa, and South America. :-)Mo:-) 18:05, 28 May 2023

Commonwealth of Juniperia

Nominator: Westavia (talk) 00:07, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Comment by nominator: Advice please also comments.

  • Comment I echo my points with your other nomination—§ Government is really lacking prose and has two wikitables adjacent to each other that also intersect with two images, making it look really awkward. § Subdivisions too has no prose and § Geography and climate is short. For § Subdivisions, you can add brief summaries of each division, like their size, notable features that distinguish them from the other divisions, etc; Empire of Austenasia#Administrative divisions is a good example of what you could add. And Geography of New Eiffel, especially #Climate, is an extreme example of what type of information you could add to § Geography and climate to expand it. Explaining Juniperia's climate should be the easiest IMO. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 23:31, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
  • OPPOSE It definitely lacks a lot of would-be relevant information, and it ends rather abruptly. Great infobox and opening, but it really falls apart at the infobox in § Royal Domains. Sections afterward are grossly underdeveloped and require further editing Europaren (talk) (contribs) 15:40, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

2021 Georgienstinian presidential election

Nominator: Westavia (talk) 17:38, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Comment by nominator: Fire article

  • Oppose: The first few sections are pretty good, but after § Labour-Democratic Party nomination there are simply too many templates and wikitables without any prose, making it difficult to navigate and really awkward-looking. The sections could perhaps be merged and I do not really think the massive amount of those ticket templates are needed for every nominee, perhaps not unless more prose can be added. The first three subheadings under § General election campaign can honestly be removed since they each have barely any text; and § Certification of the election results could possibly be split into just two paragraphs instead of five. I do quite like § Issues and reckon it should be used as an example of what the other mostly empty sections should strive for if possible. In other words, this is definitely GA potential with a bit of new additions! ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 03:41, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Imperium (political theory)

Nominator: {{{1}}}

Comment by nominator: I see virtually no reason for this article not to be GA. It reads like a high-quality Wikipedia article. It's incredibly comprehensive without going off-track, the pictures are relevant and well-placed, and almost every claim is backed up by a reference - not to mention it's longer than some articles for micronations with GA status that I've seen on MicroWiki. I wholeheartedly support its nomination. —Addison(My talk page and contributions) 22:53, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

COMMENT: Whilst it isn't enough for me to vote either way on the page, it concerns me that thus page was and still is currently under the highest page protection level, usually reserved for exceptional incidences, because of an edit war six years ago. I don't think it would be right for this page to be considered until this is resolved. If this page were given GA or even FA status, if inaccuracies were discovered or the page were to become outdated, then there is little chance for any corrections to keep it in line with the GA/FA standards outside of administrative intervention.

  • OPOSSE (for now) — this is fantastic but I have only three small suggestions before I can confidently support this article for GA status; they should be fairly quick fixes. Firstly, I echo the concerns by Sertor Valentinus. Secondly, the lead can definitely be greatly expanded to summarise the ideology, its schools of thought, history and development, and influences. Finally, in § recognition of empires, there are two bullet points which are seemingly placeholders that should be elaborated upon; they are entitled "Indian 1878" and "German 1881" respectively.

  • OPPOSE It's a "good start." An article like this would've easily been approved as a draft, but it's certainly not GA material. There's really not that much written content here; expansive tables do not replace writing, they supplement it. Lots of short sections and a few empty, which GAs should not have. Don't use the atrocious multicolored foreign relations section, it should be several plain lists as seen in the MW:NPG, with involvement in organizations explained in writing. Tables should not have a colored title. 🍸 MattL (talk) 00:48, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
