Okay, so I've gone through and edited the article quite a lot. The article was very biased and painted a rather phony image of Catalonia, for example, it was referred to as a country (which is never used in English and a consensus was reached on Catalonia's talk page), the article talked of international relations (which Madrid is in charge of) and a Catalan Stock Exchange (which doesn't even exist!). It just seemed like some sort of idealistic representation of an independent Catalonia from a nationalist perspective. I've tried to make it less biased, however, I think it should be ideally be deleted. Most of the links are dead and the article serves as little use. --Cymru123 (talk) 20:15, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the content of this article should be transferred and edited for WikiData and then the article itself should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.67.172.18 (talk) 01:38, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 23:52, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
