[edit] List of countries footnotes

Copied from article's talk page

RvEdit, the footnotes are unnecessary as all of the links can be found in the respective pages of the unrecogized countries. -- 202.128.225.52 (talk · contribs)

While I'm aware all the links or information described in them can be found in all the respective articles, Wikipedia policy (and academic norm.) is such that all the information in any individual article need to be cited with external sources. Basically, one need to be able to verify an article with only access to that article and its sources / references without access to any other Wikipedia article. Other WP article exist to provide more details on a subject, not reference.

And I'm trying to get this list through FLC. Don't help if a reviewer request external sources and it's not there when he look at it, after I said I put it in already. ;-) -- KTC 13:02, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
