Hello everyone, I am working for the International Trade Centre (ITC). I would like to propose the addition of an external link that could lead directly to the specific country’s trade data held by ITC. I would like you to consider this link under the WP:ELYES #3 prescriptions. Moreover, the reliability and the pertinence of this link can be supported by the following facts 1) ITC is part of the United Nations 2) No registration is required 3) Trade data (imports/exports) are regularly updated 4) The link gives direct access to the trade database of the specific country 5) The addition of reliable trade data to the Economy section of the country could provide an appropriate contribution to the information therein contained. Thank you for your attention.Divoc (talk) 19:12, 28 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Does not read like an encyclopedia

Much of the content in the article would be better suited in an almanac rather than an encyclopedia. In particular, the "Investment climate" section contains too much information and too little analysis of that information. A large amount of purely numeric information, devoid of any analysis, is harmful for the following reasons:

  • It is difficult to find and verify sources for the information provided. Much of the information currently included in the article is unsourced. I mean no offense to any Malagasy who reads this, but Madagascar is not generally the focus of international investment analysts, so much of the information in the article comes from a few sources.
  • It is difficult to keep numerical information current. The first paragraph of the "Investment climate" section is a rundown of historical interest, inflation and deficit rates. Years are skipped and the information is disorganized.
  • The information does not provide encyclopedic value. The article currently reiterates its the data provided in the sources. If readers want pure data, they will visit the articles sources directly. There needs to be an analysis of how that data translates into growth, etc.

Though I have been improving the article for the past month, I was attracted to the article because it was missing a lead section. I am not an economist and I cannot interpret the data. I do not know what an economic profile of Madagascar should look like, let alone how to write that profile or the data needed for that profile. I would highly appreciate it if a more experienced editor could clean up the "Investment climate" section.

Thank you,

Orphaned references in Economy of Madagascar

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Economy of Madagascar's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "2020/01":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 16:27, 1 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
