I've listed this article for peer review because I want to make it an FL soon. Since there are no other lists of diplomatic missions that have been featured to the best of my knowledge, I would like other users to review the page's presentation of the topic, especially in coverage on political issues. I would also like someone to look at the image I made for the page. General or any other feedback is also highly appreciated!

• "other countries" – would this be more appropriate as "most countries"? – I'm not sure what these countries are the "other" of... other than the 111 missions?
  • I meant all countries except Taiwan and China.
• "commonly known only by the name China" may be more to the point as something like "known best as simply China" – since surely it's not "commonly known", it's almost always known as just China?
  • Modified
• Usually if we used acronyms (PRC) we introduce them clearly before so I would alter the second line to "the mainland-based People's Republic of China (PRC), ..."
  • Modified
• Actually it's kind of odd you use "PRC" once but "China" every other time?
  • No longer an issue due to the earlier modification
• If the reader ignored the note in the first sentence (which is very possible), the "Taiwan only has 17 official diplomatic missions" may seem to contradict the earlier line of "Taiwan, officially the Republic of China, has 111 diplomatic missions " – maybe rephrase to something like "Only 17 of Taiwan's diplomatic missions are official, consisting..."
  • Fixed
• I don't see the list of "passport and visa issuance, public affairs, economic, cultural, and educational cooperation" in ref 3
  • Removed
• If I recall correctly aren't the missions that don't go by "Tawain" called "Chinese Taipei" – not just "Taipei"?
  • Chinese Taipei is used only for certain international organizations and sporting events. Most diplomatic missions just use "Taipei [insert adjective(s) here] Office". See Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office
• Link Macau since you link Hong Kong
  • Oops, fixed
• I don't see a ref for that Macau info either
  • Referenced
• I'll look at the table closer soon Aza24 (talk) 23:46, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Usually it's better to name the section something different than just "list" – I would recommend just "Diplomatic missions" or "Diplomatic missions of Taiwan"
  • Done
  • Also to this point, an RFC recently passed requiring table names for each one so be sure to add something like the above as a table name (like how in List of winners of the Boston Marathon#Men's open division has "Winners: Men's open division")
    • Added
• If the same refs (14–16) cover the Multilateral organizations and Former missions tables, I would put them there again (these tables need table names as well so you could put the refs after the names like in List of operas by Carl Maria von Weber#List of operas
  • Done
• I'm not sure but the key for Former missions may need a dagger in addition to the color to comply with WP:ACCESS
  • Added an asterisk with alt-text
• The gallery is nice but you may want to consider putting it on the side of the table, such as in Academy Award for Best Actor#Winners and nominees
  • It was that way earlier. Looks good on a PC, but this approach is problematic for mobile, where an image displaces other content. Plus, I don't think there are enough images of Taiwanese missions to form a representative sample that work with that layout.
    • Ah ok, fair enough. Aza24 (talk) 07:16, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Everything else looks good to my eyes Aza24 (talk) 05:10, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Btw in case you missed it, there is still an unaddressed points about Macau above, no rush though, of course. Aza24 (talk) 07:16, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks, I have now addressed all your comments. MSG17 (talk) 16:58, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
