Great power[edit]

This page has recently been through a degree of upheaval. Large quantities of unsourced material have been removed and most sections have been rewritten. While the regular editors catch their breath, we would like to invite comments and suggestions for any further improvements.

Comments regarding both substance and style are sought, including (but not limited to):

  • readability of prose,
  • effectiveness of the tables as an alternative to prose in the Great power listings sections,
  • sufficiency/reliability of current sources,
  • comments re. substance of article from those with an academic background in the subject are keenly sought,
  • suggestions for future improvements?

You forgot Poland. --zippedmartin 04:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC) Kidding, obviously. Sources are a bit all over the place, but that's at least partly not editors' trough (hi cite.php!!!) 6, 9 and 29 are currently nowikied, but I dare not press the edit button to try and find them. Article is quite readable, though not polished. The quote 'an empirical one, and common sense can answer it' appears in the lead and later too (it's not *that* thrilling)... Formatting of second table is bothered by the image float. India and Italy? Hey maybe Poland wasn't so funny after all.[reply]
