I've listed this article for peer review because…
This list is close to become a featured list, but there are still a few contributions needed for this page to achieve that status:
- Expand the lead
- Simplify all Lonely Planet references
- Replace hyphes with en-dashes for page ranges
- Possibly add an image

- I've added the microstates clarification since I myself confused the terms, and I think others would too. Feel free to rewrite that part, or place it in a different place-just keep it around the introduction.
- it is not clear to mea weather these micronations still exist, or they still claim the initial independence.
- isn't there a reference proving that these are all the micronations?
- the weakest point of the article is the lack of a reference for the definition of a micronation. For the list to become a FL one it definately needs a reference for that.
- I would prefer having some kind of estimated sizes for these micronations-either for each of them, or in the introduction
- the table definitely needs another column with either the continent where it is placed, coordinates, or the territory of whose country it actually pertains to-latter would be the best. There is a need for some some geographical location of these barely-known entities
- check WP:MOS - especially for formatting references.

- They are good suggestions. They are all definitely micronations, we only need references for their existence.
As for location, there are possibilities that exist outside land - how about:

Thanks for your comments. ----- Onecanadasquarebishopsgate 09:54, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- I have tried to add a column, but thought that the description box had enough detail already....

- I am going to assume that there was no irony in your answer and suggest to add the continent where it is located (or region, or territory whose state it is/was claiming). The point of another column is simply to be able to order the stuff, and to quickly localize the micronation in discussion. Nergaal (talk) 05:38, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- There was no irony in my comment Nergaal - I wasn't being sarcastic either. I did think that your comments helped, and I think the idea of a location column is great - but it is not that simple. When I previewed the column it seemed to be a direct copy of the description box, and also inconsistent with the other locations (sea, space, virtual etc.). Micronations are not just limited to land (and even then, they are not always limited to one continent or territory). I don't oppose the idea because it is pointless, but I oppose the idea because, with micronations, it is not as simple as just naming a continent as it is with sovereign states.
