I've listed this article for peer review because…it has undergone a major rewrite to accommodate discussion history.
In particular, I'd like to know points where it needs clarification or expansion, and other material that should be included. Ideally, I'd like it to be an "A" of some kind.

ok, I know very little about the subject, but I will jot some ideas here: Casliber ( talk · contribs) 11:19, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
*there remained in the German states an overarching and commonly experienced linguistic, cultural and legal tradition further enhanced by the experience of German speaking Europe in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. - badly worded - took me three goes at reading it to figure out what it was saying..and should be simple (?)
* Before 1806, the German lands... "German-speaking?"
*A common language may serve as the basis of a nation, but it takes more than language to unify several hundred polities. - sounds speculative, like an essay.
*Despite the nomenclature of "Diet" and "Assembly," this institution should in no way be construed as a broadly, or popularly, elected group of representatives. --> "Despite the nomenclature of "Diet" and "Assembly," this institution in no way resembled a broadly, or popularly, elected group of representatives." fact, not speculation. Might want to elaborate here too.
*The Austrian statesman, Metternich... - First mention should have his first name
I have read till The Vormärz and the 19th century liberal movement (note to self) back later.

This is heavy going for me; first bit looks much better now, but I am unfamiliar with this area (modern history, political theory, and sociology). Have read to Austro-Prussian War. More questions later. Interesting as I had no idea why Germany and Austria were separate.... Casliber ( talk · contribs) 06:52, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
