Contradiction in article?

edit

The image shows that the US was never a member, but the article explains that President Wilson won a nobel peace prize as the architect of the League. 2603:6011:5F39:969B:649B:1E6E:41CA:F3B7 (talk) 15:24, 9 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

That's correct. See the Establishment section: "Despite Wilson's efforts to establish and promote the League, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in October 1919,[56] the United States never joined". Nikkimaria (talk) 03:42, 10 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Map

edit

I think the animated map should be on top of the infobox—frankly, the anachronous one isn't very informative and its key is awkward. Remsense 21:08, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

I agree, it should at the very least be directly under the first map. There's no objections here so feel free to change it as you please. HarvardJock (talk) 00:18, 28 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. What do you think is improper about what's currently there? DrOrinScrivello (talk) 15:16, 24 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

WP:URFA/2020

edit

As part of WP:URFA/2020, Wikipedia editors are reviewing older featured articles to determine if they still meet the featured articles criteria. After looking at this article, I noticed the following:

  • There are uncited statements in the article, including entire paragraphs.
  • The article is quite long at over 12,000 words and I think prose can be summarised more effectively or spun out into other articles.
  • The "Economic policies" section has an orange "expansion needed" banner. Is this still valid?
  • The article's formatting needs to be reevaluated: there are lots of one-paragraph sections that should be merged together (like in the "Resolving territorial disputes" section) while the information in the "Organization" and "Plans and proposals" sections needs to be reduced or broken up using additional headings.
  • Lots of sources listed in "General and cited references" are not used as inline citations.

Should this article go to WP:FAR? Z1720 (talk) 04:08, 20 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

I agree with some of these, so perhaps not fully in line with WP:FAR but I don't feel too strongly about it. HarvardJock (talk) 00:24, 28 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
