Wikipedia:Version 0.5 Country Review

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This symbolises a Wikipedia 0.5 nomination

This page is designed to facilitate the nomination and review process for articles on countries for Wikipedia:Version 0.5 (V0.5), the test CD release designed to pave the way for Wikipedia:Version 1.0.

All articles have now been reviewed.

This page allows articles on countries to bypass the general V0.5 nomination page, going straight from this page to the main Version 0.5 page once approved.
