Good article criteria

Well written

• Optional: If you want, the first letter of quotes can be decapitalised as per MOS:QUOTE.
• Peter Needham, writing for The Australian, writes that. Could find a way to reword this so that "writing" and "writes" aren't both in the sentence.

Verifiable with no original research

I conducted spot checks of secondary sources 3, 4, 5 and 8.

• Is it 156 of 160 pages? Could it be that the index pages are being counted or not?

Broad in its coverage

• As some of the micronations listed don't have articles, could you add the (real) country that each micronation is in. For example, Principality of Sealand, United Kingdom. Freetown Christiania, Denmark.
• You could add a short, one sentence definition of micronations to "Background and publication".

Illustrated, if possible

• Alt text could be added for the image. Otherwise screen readers just read out the file name.

General

That's it. A short but pretty good article already. Steelkamp (talk) 06:23, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

@Steelkamp: Thanks for the feedback! I believe all of your concerns have been addressed; I particularly liked your suggestion regarding adding the countries within which the micronations are located. Additionally, the book is indeed 160 pages; turns out only the first 156 are numbered. ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 22:44, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

One more thing, does Cascadia refer to the Cascadia movement? That page could be linked. Steelkamp (talk) 04:25, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

It refers to the Republic of Cascadia, which seems related to the movement, but the micronation itself is not mentioned on said article. ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 05:35, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
