Things not to do

Do not go into detailed examples of how the concepts explained in this article relate to real-life controversial situations. These are best left to articles about individual countries or events.
Do not seek narrowly to define the word country without first considering the range of dictionary definitions such as OED and Chambers (British); Macquarie (Australian); Webster (American).

total rubbish for the heading , while "Any person visiting a country, other than that in which he usually resides, for a period of at least 24 hours" is defined as a 'foreign tourist'.^[1] It is not uncommon for general information or statistical publications to adopt the wider definition for purposes such as illustration and comparison.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]
