2021 world bank map is incorrect

Look at Brazil. The chart lists its lofe expectancy as 77 years, but it's shaded in light green for 73 years. 201.26.161.98 (talk) 09:47, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

This has been corrected. 200.206.250.167 (talk) 18:05, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

World Bank Covid Impact deltas are incorrectly calculated for Brazil. (Corrected)

The following errors have been corrected.

Brazil's life expectancy figures are as follows:

2014: 74.31

2019: 75.34

2020: 74.01

2021: 77.25

COVID-19 Impact for 2014 - 2021 states −1.56. This is incorrect. 77.25 - 74.31 = 2.94 (not -1.56)

COVID-19 Impact for 2019 - 2021 states −0.59. This is incorrect. 77.25 - 75.34 = 1.91 (not -0.59)

Applying the same math to other countries yields correct results.

This is not the first apparent error that severely misrepresented Brazil's figures for the worse. This article was either created or edited with the intention of smearing Brazil's numbers. 200.206.250.167 (talk) 18:14, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

This has been corrected. Ferrazf8 (talk) 18:21, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Also corrected 2020 - 2021 delta for Brazil.

Brazil's life expectancy figures are as follows:

2020: 74.01

2021: 77.25

Stated: −1.26. Actual: 3.24

77.25 - 74.01 = 3.24 (not -1.26) Ferrazf8 (talk) 18:25, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

2024 UN update

UN, World Population Prospects (2024) has the 2023 data: https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/population-and-demography

What's the easiest way to update this table? (other than manually...) a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 10:07, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

First two tables start at 2?

The first two tables in this article start with Hong Kong at 2. Refreshing the page shows the '1' briefly within the first column and row, adjacent to the "Countries and territories" header. This doesn't seem to be a problem in the third table, and I don't think it's as a result of the excluded Monaco and San Marino, since this would put Hong Kong third. Is this fixable? There doesn't seem to be any problems in the source text after a quick skim. Angusgtw (talk) 09:15, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

"Bonus"?

This term, which appears in the first table, is not defined in the article. Grassynoel (talk) 03:28, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Some of the tables are way too wide. Need to be divided into 2 tables

Can't easily see what country it is when I scroll to the right. The flags with tooltips help, but are much slower than using 2 tables.

2 tables can often use less tall headers too. Which is better for cell phones.

Less tall headers makes Template:Sticky table start more feasible too.

One easy way to break up a table without losing all the background colors, etc. is to copy the table to 2 sandboxes (or one sandbox, and in the article itself). Then delete the columns not needed on one of the new tables. Repeat in the other sandbox (or in the article) except delete different columns. --Timeshifter (talk) 19:10, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

The flag of taiwan should be shown

In the vast majority of pages where countries are ranked, countries with limited recognition, such as Taiwan, have their flag shown. See List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita, List of countries and dependencies by area, List of countries and dependencies by population, and List of countries by total fertility rate, even if the ranking was done by the United Nations. Also, Taiwan has a flag in the CIA Factbook section of the page, so we probably should be consistent. EternalNub (talk) 19:22, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
