Comments[edit]

The List of countries by native names lists all countries included in the List of countries in an alphabetical order. Please do not start here any discussion on including an entity, but choose for that Talk:List of countries. - Electionworld 12:52, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted a lot of additions, which were unofficial names for countries on the list of countries (e.g. Cornish is not an official national language of the UK) or were native names for entities not listed on the list of countries (e.g. Lower Saxony).

"List by country" navigational box[edit]

I would like to change the vertical "List by country" navigational box on the right of this page to a horizontal one at the bottom. Please discuss at Template talk:Lists by country. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 12:59, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New Discussion[edit]

A discussion has been started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countries/Lists of countries which could affect the inclusion criteria and title of this and other lists of countries. Editors are invited to participate. Pfainuk talk 11:46, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction and criteria for inclusion[edit]

This list needs sorting out, at present it does not mention the fact non sovereign entities are included on the list, it also says only entities from list of countries are included, but that original list no longer exists and it is now a redirect to list of sovereign states. There is also the problem with sovereign states, territories, disputed sovereign states, non sovereign entities all being in line with each other. Changes are needed.
