I will get this review. Standby for suggestions. I am concerned by the lack of edits you have made to the page (I count only 10). It is customary, albeit not required, that any nominator is a majority contributor with a fairly advanced understanding of the topic.

Images

• Everything seems to be in order.

Copy-vios

• [1] this appears to be a reverse copying of the wikipedia page. Not a copy-vio but good to note.

Sources

• There is a citation needed tag that has yet to be addressed

In general, this page is missing a lot of citations.

• and a globe in the Vatican made in 1520, shows the island as Sancta Lucia.
• de facto French colony well into the eighteenth century.
• cane as a commodity crop on large plantations in 1765.
• upon which he returned to Britain before 1798.
• etc....

Prose

• The health subsection is completely empty.
• There are multiple subsections where the page could be reasonably expanded. Especially since they link to pre-established articles.
• The format of this page can also be re-worked. There are a number of stand alone sentences that are treated like paragraphs. This makes the page read as a list of facts rather than a coherent narrative.

These are entire paragraphs that are missing citations. This is also only the first 3rd or so of the article, the issue is worse as the page goes on. Wikipedia requires that all articles have WP:RELIABLE, WP:SECONDARY sources. This is especially true to GA's since there they, on some level, have an implicit community endorsement as being decently written. In fact, there are entire sections where citations are missing.

At this time, the page will quick fail. It would be largely futile to go line by line since, without any sources, I am left to assume this is WP:OR. This isn't meant to scare you off from GA. Trying to nominate a country for your first GA is very ambitious, and I commend you for that, but understand that it is going to be a massive undertaking to get a level 4 vital article to GA. My recommendation is to start with a smaller article and learn the ropes. Consider Wikipedia:WikiProject Vital Articles if you want help with this page. Hope to see you around more!!!
