Why do these articles exist

Do we need annual List of sovereign states in 2016, List of sovereign states in 2015, List of sovereign states in 2014, etc, articles? Wouldn't a List of sovereign states in the 2010s, List of sovereign states in the 2000s in which entries were put into tables displaying when they were created/merged/dissolved etc be much more useful and concise? --Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 16:16, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see we have them. I propose we merge these lists into the decadal lists - there seems to be unnecessary duplication here. --Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 19:01, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree. Anyone have time to work on it? tahc ^chat 20:05, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Past tense?

The descriptions for the 'Other Entities' are written in the past tense. I've put them in the present tense but if this is a problem, then you can undo it. ProjectHorizons (talk) 18:44, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
