Enclave[edit]

Article is still a featured article.

This article is mostly a bunch of lists. I don't consider this anywhere near our best work. Kingturtle 03:54, 23 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose removal. This was strongly supported for addition a couple of months ago, and has not changed substantially since. It's a fine article on an easily overlooked topic. Ambivalenthysteria 08:49, 23 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose removal. It's an informative article and easy to read, with a nice diagram and a good introduction. While it is true that each sub-category includes a list of examples, they also include other explanatory text, and only in two categories are these list significantly longer than the other text. Furthermore most items in the lists are not simply bulleted names, but complete and interesting sentences such as this snippet: "Some villages in eastern Estonia can only be reached by a road which ventures inside Russian territory. One can drive on the road without any visa, but it is forbidden to stop before coming back to Estonia." In any case, it is a topic which lends itself to listing examples. I do have one small objection however: counter-enclaves and counter-counter-enclaves are not mentioned. Securiger 01:46, 24 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
