'The United Kingdom continues to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.' How can we change this so that it's not time sensitive? Jerry 03:41, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

'As of 2004'? 'In [date] the UK committed itself to continuing ...' I'm afraid I don't have the facts to hand. -- ALoan (Talk) 11:33, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

New task

[edit]

Help reduce some of the red links on the page: a high amount of red links is a factor that may stop this article becoming a Featured Article in the future. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 01:09, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Issues

[edit]
  • Geology seems topheavy, compared to the level of detail in the rest of the article (for example: demographics; natural resources). Rather than pruning geology more, the others could do with exanding.
  • Many sections are just lists (e.g. hills and mountains, rivers and lakes) some of which are by no means comprehensive (inlets, headlands)
  • Environment is a bit of a mess:
    • Current issues only mentions greenhouse gases, landfill and recycling. What about industry, pollution (air, water, soil), demand for house building, conservation, coastal erosion, habitat loss, intensive farming...
    • The second section is just a list of agreements from the CIA Factbook - does it add much? Can the unlinked ones be linked to anything useful?
      • Could the agreements themselves be stated instead of the issues - e.g. Convention on Biological Diversity has a wiki page. --Flit 19:41, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Could do with some nicer images
