"only, independent nation to become a state" really? What about the Kingdom of Hawaii, or (delectably) California? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.233.193.37 (talk) 09:45, 23 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:01, 9 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
