I strongly feel that the content of these lists should remain I agree that there is an issue with some information requiring citations and some information being in a list format which might be better in prose However the great majority of the information is extremely valuable and relevant The UKs overall contribution to science and technology and technological innovations is arguably the largest of any nation over the last  years The last  years have also seen by far the greatest technological progress in human history This is very important content The science and technology section in for example the Russia article is far larger in terms of total words
