Welcome toWikiProject Limited recognition, aWikiProject to add, organize, fill out, and provide a standard format for articles about those regions in the world which have declared independence, and maintain a de facto sovereignty, but are conspicuously unrecognized in international circles. The scope of this project includes any and all nations of people considered unrepresented by the international community, primarily those that are considered de facto sovereign states based on the declarative theory. Many of these have very poor articles, or no articles at all, and many lack depth, without articles on key figures.

Regions excluded from the international community are notoriously difficult to gain reliable, up-to-date information on, and what little information is available on the encyclopedia is often subject to controversy and edit warring. If you would like to help us provide high-quality information about nations and peoples of the world that cannot be found on most maps, please join ushere!

Our project was founded on 19 July 2004 asWikiProject Unrecognized countries and later WikiProject geopolitical entities not recognised as states. At its peak, we had 23 members, but this project later became inactive. In 2018, our project was revamped and renamed toWP:WPLR with our original goal still in mind: to organize information aboutstates with limited recognition.

Though we also assess and improve articles regarding proto-states and active independence movements, there are currently nine states with limited recognition of high importance as these entities match the criteria for inclusion in theLimited recognition article. These nine states with limited recognition are the primary focus of our project and portal, and their respective articles fall within our scope for improvement.

States withlimited recognition:

This project also aims to improve articles on:
De facto autonomous entities:

Active independence movements:

Due to the number of peoples that may seek independence, this shortlist attempts to only include movements that are considerably well-documented, particularly those whose movements have standalone Wikipedia articles.
