My article (since I'm the author of it, although I have noticed that a number of people have made small edits to it (which I thank them for)) has been selected for a clean up. I disagree with that, yet I do understand it. Mainly there's a lot of information in it. Through time (based on the answers for my NS issues and my imagination) I have made up a history, which is (compared to other histories) pretty detailed and extensive. Through using titles I have tried to make it more easy to read. Also english is my second language, I'm still learning how to use english.

In time I'll add a summary to it, but until that moment I promise I'll not force anyone with a pistol to their head to read it all (and remember with a shotgun in their neck not to skip any parts) - Qantrix

I believe you've put your finger on the issue. It's English grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure that seem to be the issue. As you say, you have a complicated history. With a bit of polite and thoughtful help from wiki community members, I think this has the potential to be quite a good article. As I tend to concentrate on wiki formatting and categorization, I'll leave you in the hands of others for grammatical aid. Remember, you can always look at the History tab to see what changes have been made. Perhaps that will help you in your English instruction. → Fris Θtalk 00:25, 11 Dec 2004 (GMT)
I am quite sorry for my harsh words. I will not try to excuse them. --Athamasha 00:53, 11 Dec 2004 (GMT)
  • You must note well Qantrix, that being "seleted for a cleanup", is no reprimand, or even animadversion, but in the best interests of all: to attract alacritous editors to enhance the selected article in whatever way may have been deemed relevant.
In this respect, as Frisbeeteria had explained, the relevance of this specific item lies not its substance, nor aesthetic or logical form, but rather the morphophonemic and syntactical nature of the prose.
Furthermore, I have amended - in the sense previously explained - the introductory section of this article. In doing so, I may have unintentionally ambiguated, distorted or misexpounded to a small, extent the content. I you find that this is so, then please clarify or correct certain details, as is appropriate. Sincerely, — ℜechze|talk 02:00, 11 Dec 2004 (GMT)
Okay, then I know it. Although I'm a bit confused by some of your language (I'm just 16) but with a long row of dictionaries I should be able to work it out.

I have been thinking, it could be much easier to read if I would more make a list of the major events for every centuries of my nations existance, as a example (in RL)

1900-1950 -First World-War

(possible list of battles)

-Stockmarket Crash of 1929

-Second World-War

(possible list of battles)

-Korean War

It would make things easier to read, and would give a quick overview of what happened during that age.

Remember that I'm new to all the Wikipedia things (although I have been reading them longer for my pleasure (and for work on school offcourse) they are a excellent scource on large number of things) and I don't know how to use tags.

Normal

I made the language of the first paragraph a bit more normal. "non-belligerency" is just being difficult for "non-agression" And such. See the edit list, really. -- |Knoot|KNOOtalk 14:51, 30 Dec 2004 (GMT)
