There are not two, but three different templates. One shows the States, and the second shows the foreign relations of States, third international recognition of these States. Each has its own purpose and each refers to the other pages. Therefore, all templates should be retained. With the proposed merger of I disagree. Jan CZ (talk) 05:36, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
China and Taiwan → PRC and ROC
I believe that in this template, China and Taiwan should be referred to by their official names: People's Republic of China and the Republic of China. This may make it easier for people to pick up on why Taiwan is unrecognized. Fizikanauk, please reply to this, as you have been the one undoing my edits. [Soffredo]18:55, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
All the other entities use their respective article name in this template. I cannot see any reason that China/Taiwan have any excuse to be an exception. Fizikanauk (talk) 06:29, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
States with Partial Recognition. All of these States have (except for one) have partial recognition. All of these states (except for one) have limited recognition. Partial being akin to "the glass is half full" and Limited being akin to "the glass is half empty". It's not a big deal either way, however.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 00:20, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'd suggest raising this at List of states with limited recognition, as any changes here would have to be replicated there. IMO there's not much difference between the two, though possibly a slight emphasis one way or the other. What's the most neutral way of putting it? 'Without full' perhaps? I'd be weakly against changing simply because of the line "If an article title has been stable for a long time, and there is no good reason to change it, it should not be changed" in Wikipedia:Article titles. --Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 08:31, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Can an admin remove the Donetsk People's Republic please? I agree that it does not belong and a discussion has already been held on this. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:30, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

People in a building is not a new state. We included Crimea here when Crimea declared its independence, but Donetsk is a completely different situation. CMD (talk) 14:07, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Somaliland has de facto control of its territory, this group has de facto control over a building. Huge difference.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Lvivske (talk • contribs)
A joke is how Ukrainian nationalists and Bandera supporters cannot face the reality, which is that East of former Ukraine is not going to tolerate government of extremists and that Ukraine is falling apart; no amount of online attempts to delete articles and push their POV is going to change that.Membrane-biologist (talk) 16:46, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Your personal attack, calling me "shill" and harassing any other editors is completely out of place here. If you cannot treat other people with respect, or restrain from insulting other people, it will not be tolerated here.Membrane-biologist (talk) 17:08, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Membrane-Biologist, if you are going to subtly imply those that oppose you are Ukrainian nationalists and jokes, then don't be surprised when people respond in kind. Furthermore, nothing in your post was actually relevant to the conversation at hand, so I would advise you to read over wp:forum and wp:soap. CMD (talk) 17:30, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize if my comment came across as a form of harassment, I just thought it relevant that your account came out of hibernation solely to argue on an AfD & edit war, pushing the POV that this 'republic' is real, and soapboxing anti-Ukrainian rhetoric as you did again above. I try to assume good faith but also call a spade a spade --Львівське (говорити) 17:48, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It seems the attempts at POV pushing have resumed [2]. There's so many Wikipedia policies that this addition violates that I don't even feel like listing them all. Just drop it. Seriously.Volunteer Marek (talk) 23:07, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This keeps getting added and then removed. I'm the latest to remove it. Declaring yourself to be a state and not being recognised by official bodies (governments, UN, etc.) does not automatically make the declared state unrecognised. No official support means that you don't get a look in. Frankly, I could declare my front doorstep an independent state. I could get hundreds of people to sign a petition demanding that my doorstep should be recognised as an independent state. I could get media coverage over my dispute and sympathisers for my right to have my front step recognised as an independent state. The fact, however, will remain that no official entities recognise my front doorstep as anything other than my front doorstep in one of the states of Australia, therefore it will not be added to this list as an unrecognised state. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:26, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Then why Azawad and Bangsamoro Republik were added? and I belive your front doorstep is smaller than this
I most certainly didn't add them, and I don't see them there now. It's also also unnecessarily snarky to make a pointed comment at me when I've been involved in the template via other issues and articles. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:15, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Frietjes:, you are correct that no other nation recognizes Somaliland as an independent sovereign state, but there is recognition of Somaliland as a de facto ruling government. From the article Somaliland: "Somaliland has political contacts with its neighbours Ethiopia and Djibouti, as well as with South Africa, Sweden, the United Kingdom..." The proclaimed Catalan Republic has no such relations or contacts and is, at this point in time, a sub-state regional government with intentions of independence but without any international recognition at all. I hope this explains my earlier comment more thoroughly. Thanks. Eggishorn(talk)(contrib)17:17, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
