I just sorted the countries of Europe after UN-standard. On the [[Europe]] site you'll find all EU countries, but in the startpage overview I left out the real small ones like [[Vatican]] or [[San Marino]] and the little Islands in the Channel and in the Northern sea. Does anyone has any suggestions about this? [[User:Platschi|platschi]] 13:10, 14 August 2007 (CEST)
: Cool, I didn't know there is an official definition for this. We already had discussions about how to group the countries in Europe.
: I just removed Andorra from the Main Page (to avoid having so many red links there), the rest seems fine to me --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 13:21, 14 August 2007 (CEST)
:: All right, I guess I should start editing the other countries of the world as soon as possible. Maybe it is better to only list countries on the start page and not cities or regions (like California, Belize in Central America or Montevideo). By the way, where do you guys had your discussions about that :D ? [[User:Platschi|platschi]] 13:38, 14 August 2007 (CEST)
:::Good job! Check [[Talk:Main_Page]]. I generally tried to avoid red links.
:::I feel that, for big countries it could be good to also show some links to e.g. [[California]], or [[Siberia]]. But I don't really care either way :) [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] 16:59, 15 August 2007 (CEST)
== Sorted Americas ==
He, i just sorted [[Americas]] as good as possible. The UN Statistic Division says that the ''continent'' North America consists of [[North America|Northern America]], [[Caribbean]] and [[Central America]]. I just sorted these regions separately, or does anyone has a better idea? otherwise [[Americas]] could only be divided into North- and South, than we could delete the cities/states looking up in Northern America (only 3 ''countries'' there..). But if more Caribbean countries are coming, it could be too much if they are all listed only in North America... Uf, difficult. Help! ;) [[User:Platschi|platschi]] 17:52, 16 August 2007 (CEST)
