Country List

edit

Hi the country list is a bit user unfriendly, I was looking for the caravansary that I visited yesterday and didn't realize that Palestine not a recognized country was lumped with Israel, it would make more sense to list as Israel and Palestine at least, and more realistically Israel and Palestinian Territories, since that is about as neutral as you can get.Saxophonemn (talk) 12:20, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Unlinked, unsourced items

edit

Like some other open-ended lists, this one has a tendency to receive a bunch of items that are unlinked/redlinked. There's also a tendency to dump a cluster of names for one country without a hint of notability, while other sections are restrained to well-known examples with existing articles. More importantly, Wikipedia:Verifiability still applies to list articles and currently there are no sources cited on this page. That's less critical when there's an existing article linked which readers can consult (though hopefully not an unsourced stub), but items with no corresponding article are especially unverifiable. There's no reasonable way to check if all of these even necessarily exist, or that their locations and names are even correct, etc. Editors are responsible for providing citations.

I'm inclined to remove all or most of these unlinked items for now and to encourage editors to re-add any of them with reliable sources. If they exist and are worth mentioning, then such sources should exist. R Prazeres (talk) 17:52, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
