Here I am, editing pages on Wiki. My contributions are relatively minor, but are on a large number of different pages. My web page
Micronations
The general hostility to entries for micronations is that such micronations are imaginary nations, which usually have little more than a web page and a small club of people who like to pretend they are in a foreign country. Such trifle fantasies do noe belong in an encyclopedia.
There are, as of today, seven micronation pages. Five should be kept, two deleted.
- Avram: Keep; the court battle and resultant press coverage makes this significant enough to merit a short encyclopedia entry.
- Hutt River Province: Keep; if this really is mentioned in tourist broucheres of the area, it's worth an entry here.
- Rose Island: Keep; this was undoubtably in the news at the time
- Seborga: Tenative keep; I assume that these people have really been around for over 1000 years. I don't think these guys deserve the standard map and statistics which make them look like a real country, however.
- Nova Roma (Micronation): Delete; this is a small social club, not a micronation.
- Empire of Atlantium: Delete; this is a silly fantasy a group of friends have, not a micronation
Basically, keep the micronations that have generated news in the newspaper or otherwise have real-world existance; zap the ones that look like propaganda for one's web page or a silly little pet project that isn't even newswrothy enough to make the local newspaper. - Samboy 11:16, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
