[edit] Welcome!

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Countries WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of countries.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

• Starting some new articles? See some model pages such as Cambodia!
• Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every country article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! User:Shy1520 20:52, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Country introduction

Xxxxx, officially the Yyyyyy of Xxxx (Republic of Xxxxx, or Kingdom of Xxxxxx, etc.), is a country located on the Xxxxx of Xxxx. It shares borders with Xxxx ...

For example, the introduction to France should read:

France (pronounced /fʀɑ̃s/ in French), officially the French Republic (French: République française, pronounced /ʀepyblik fʀɑ̃sɛz/), is a country in western Europe....

Exceptions: If the official name and the most common name are synonymous, the entry is left with only one name, as is the case in the articles United States, United Kingdom, Romania, Mongolia, etc. For example:

The United States of America is a federal republic situated primarily in North America.

or

Romania (Romanian: România /ro.mɨ'ni.a/) is a country in central Europe.

In cases where there is a thorough explanation of the official name, the official name in the lead sentence may be dropped, as long as it is explained later. This exception is illustrated in the article Canada and South Africa.
