Good article criteria[edit]

Well written[edit]

  • Optional: If you want, the first letter of quotes can be decapitalised as per MOS:QUOTE.
  • Peter Needham, writing for The Australian, writes that. Could find a way to reword this so that "writing" and "writes" aren't both in the sentence.

Verifiable with no original research[edit]

I conducted spot checks of secondary sources 3, 4, 5 and 8.

  • Is it 156 of 160 pages? Could it be that the index pages are being counted or not?

Broad in its coverage[edit]

  • As some of the micronations listed don't have articles, could you add the (real) country that each micronation is in. For example, Principality of Sealand, United Kingdom. Freetown Christiania, Denmark.
  • You could add a short, one sentence definition of micronations to "Background and publication".

Neutral[edit]

Stable[edit]

Illustrated, if possible[edit]

  • Alt text could be added for the image. Otherwise screen readers just read out the file name.

General[edit]

That's it. A short but pretty good article already. Steelkamp (talk) 06:23, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Steelkamp: Thanks for the feedback! I believe all of your concerns have been addressed; I particularly liked your suggestion regarding adding the countries within which the micronations are located. Additionally, the book is indeed 160 pages; turns out only the first 156 are numbered.  LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 22:44, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
One more thing, does Cascadia refer to the Cascadia movement? That page could be linked. Steelkamp (talk) 04:25, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It refers to the Republic of Cascadia, which seems related to the movement, but the micronation itself is not mentioned on said article.  LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 05:35, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
