[edit] Length of Article
In my opinion this article is a structure which has no information to back it up therefore I suggest that the BC dates are deleted and then also dates below 1000AD as there are no links for those dates.
If no responce is made to contary of the changes by 16 December 2006 then I will go ahead with the edits descibed above.

[edit] map
I guess this is where general discussion of this series should go. I am pretty sure there were no border changes visible on a world map between 1977 and 1990, so I will add Image:BlankMap-World-1985.png to all those pages which have requested maps --Astrokey44 00:41, 22 December 2006 (UTC) On second thought, there were states becoming independent in that time.. I'll wait till the maps highlighting the states independence can be produced --Astrokey44 00:45, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redirects
A lot of these redirects don't make sense, particularly in the the first half of the twentieth century. They should be removed unless there were literally no changes in the number of countries in that year. Chet Fabulous 23:32, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Soviet Union/USSR
We should decide on one short form to use across the list so that it stays consistent, because right now it says "USSR" from 1956 to 1979 and "Soviet Union" everywhere else. Chet Fabulous 17:01, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Huge project
Seems to be that this will take a very long time to do for every year before 1900 & will be harder to find sources or references as one goes further back in time. It will need a big team of people to do this, including a lot of research on a purely voluntary basis. Would have been simpler (in my view) to have a list of nations, etc. & all the years they existed beside it. Unfortunately there is no program to then list it by clickable years on here to show them as a cross-reference. That-Vela-Fella 23:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- Someone could always start a Wiki-Project. I'm not sure if there's enough people working on these articles to sustain one, though. Chet Fabulous 17:05, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
