 * The uncountable tag only applies to the first definition’s first five words;
 * the rest looks like it could be merged with the second;
 * there are what may or may not be usage examples in it;
 * not very understandable. I suggest that the marriage sense and the “alliance between nations” sense be split;
 * the second definition’s usage examples, and the third definition, have some inexplicable names;
 * fourth definition: “A treaty between nations for their mutual advantage”. Sounds more like a pact or treaty. The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact wasn’t an alliance, was it? I can’t think of how to put it correctly. And can alliances between nations be non-military?
 * I rewrote and regrouped the definitions to some degree and sorted the synonyms. As a native speaker, I would say that the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was in fact an alliance. I'm sure more can be done to the entry, but I hope I've addressed the most serious issues. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:19, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
