[edit] Review of Regents of Nations

Main source for most of the data in this article has been the set of books called Regent of Nations. I discovered that much of the data is different from the data on Wikipedia. Wikipedia has the name that much of the information is incorrect and i know from one case that Regents of Nations is incorrect as well. This means that all the data portraited here should be checked with scientific literature of the history of countries and original sources.

There is one country which i didn't took over from Regents of Nations. Rügen was Pommeranian territory according to Wikipedia, while it is an independent country with its own state leaders according to Regents of Nations. Sind Sagar Doab should be deleted as well i think, because Sind was a province ruled by the Delhi Sultanate. But i'm not sure about that.

Problems that should be resolved are:

  1. Does a country exist? Like in the case of Sind Sagar Doab and Rügen, but also the small states in modern Iran.
  2. Are the state leaders and the dates of their rule correct? There could be raised doubts about Ifat, the Russian principalities, the states in modern Mexico and Scotland for instance.
  3. Is a country completely independent? Is a country paying tribute or allegiance to another ruler, but is in reality virtually independent? Should a state be deleted, because it was more like a province then a state? Questions arise for the English feudal lords in Ireland and Wales. Was Vietnam paying tribute to the Mongolians?
  4. Are all states represented? There appear to be many more English lords in Ireland, but they weren't mentioned in Regents of Nations. German lordships, imperial knights and city states are not represented, while they were as independent as the counts, dukes and bishops.--Daanschr 12:42, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Redlinks

Many of those European redlinks have destinations. They need to be either fixed or turned into redirects. Srnec 05:07, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
