Yes, you inappropriately characterized ophadano as a 'micronation' though it is a serious entity. Is that why the edit was not considered constructive? Because of nobody caring? Emmanuel Scuaze (talk) 23:44, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, humor me--what the heck is it, then? From what I've been able to discern online, it appears to be an entity which is trying to claim some form of national sovereignty but I found nothing to indicate where it is, not even someone's backyard. That screams "micronation" to me, and even if that's not entirely accurate, you have a different definition of a "serious entity" than I do. --Finngall talk 00:00, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In any case, do not reinstate the edit to Sui generis unless you can come up with evidence that Ophadano is notable by Wikipedia's standards for organizations. --Finngall talk 00:04, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ophadano is a jurisdiction not a state.

it is used by unrepresented & stateless peoples in absence of a government or state. Furthermore, it has access to the ICJ and was recognized as a 'foreign state' in US District Courts Riverside. Emmanuel Scuaze (talk) 00:26, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

References, please, from other than the "jurisdiction's" websites? I found nothing online to independently verify these claims. --Finngall talk 02:40, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Statelessness. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

What would be appropriate text? Emmanuel Scuaze (talk) 23:08, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is not promotional material it is people and belief based material Emmanuel Scuaze (talk) 23:09, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
