:: Regardless of any intellectual purity of purpose of the original author of the article, the purpose of Wikipedia is to provide practical intelligence, not another academic tome.  The nations noted should have been included, perhaps (though Pak. & Nig. do not have nearly the dollar volume of imports that the listed nations have, and India's volume is not that comparatively impressive, either).  It would have been nice if you'd asked for their gov't's main sites on Importing to be included, rather than stripping all the others  leaving an article devoid of any real value to almost anyone interested in the subject.  You note that this would amount to "adding links that are only indirectly related to the main topic that can only grow to be hundreds of links."  That's not realistic.  This bland and useless stub article  on a vastly important subject  has been in place for a very long time, without anyone bothering to fix it.  Consequently, it's unrealistic to think anyone's going to go to the trouble I went to for the English-speaking five leading-importing nations, to expand it to include all the others.   
 :: You note further that... "FYI... you added the links in the wrong spot"  without giving any clue as to where they would have belonged. I followed the above-noted Wikipedia style guide.  What more was required? 
 :: Trying, conscientiously and constructively, with great effort at fairness, relevance and neutrality, to provide relevant information, seems not to be a good use of my time, anymore.  Too many nit-picking Wiki editors too concerned with administrative trivia and rigid (within their own perspective) rules (largely baed on their own subjective interpretations), and not as concerned with ensuring Wikipedia articles contain substantial, useful, relevant information for the real world.  Senseless and pointless.
