I do, but I had to put the table together from 4 different tables per site. I’d need some 10 link to provide all sources. But if you think that would be fine, I can source all the table. Let me know.
Can you just send them to me? I can put them together and make nice reference tags (and migrate them to the new wiki as well).
Peter, how did the general introductory texts for the various countries come together? Something you wrote, or was it taken from someplace?
Check the reference. The introductions for countries came, of all places, from the CIA Factbook. It is
- Possibly the best place to get a somewhat respectable summary for all countries in the world, and
- A source of delicious irony for a libertarian wiki.
While one can argue with it in some places, the summaries are pretty solid overall, with a strong focus on the political situation and some economics as well. Of course, nothing prevents people from rewriting them and make up for any defects of the original source.
To me personally they are off-puting. Take a look at the introduction for Serbia. 2/3rds of it are about something called “MILOSEVIC”. Milošević was a person, not an acronmy, he does not need to be put in all-caps.
That is sadly a part of the original resource, capitalisation of key names. I have fixed as much; do you have an idea how to shorten down the introduction without concentrating too much on one person? (Rewriting would be of course better, but I lack resources on Serbia.)
I couldn’t help to notice that Serbia’s summary was rewritten, and it looks much better now! If it was you, thanks!
In related news, there is now also a stub to collect information for former Yugoslavia. More resources are welcome!
