Should the US be on the map? what are our criteria?
editKamala Harris was acting president of the US for an hour and a half. I doubt most Americans even remember that happened, so it seems a bit silly to color the US green because of it. But Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri was acting president of South Africa for 14 hours, and we color South Africa green because of that. Similarly Carmen Pereira for 2 days in Guinea-Bissau, etc. etc.
For consistency, I've added the US, Vietnam and Salvador to the map (which hadn't been updated recently).
Should we ignore acting presidents etc, or would that cause worse problems? — kwami (talk) 04:20, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- This edition was made previously and a debate was held. The edit was removed because the position of president was not vacant, the president just stepped aside to undergo medical examinations. Ramsessantos (talk) 23:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- That makes sense. I removed the US. By that criterion South Africa should be on the map (as it is), because those 14 hours were an interregnum. — kwami (talk) 05:33, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
should territories and constituent countries be included on map?
editFrench territories are included, British ones are not. Is the PM of the UK not the PM of the Isle of Mann or of Bermuda? AFAIK, the PM of Denmark is PM of the kingdom, not just the country, so should Faroes and Greenland be counted as part of Denmark? For NZ, looks like Tokelau should be counted, but not Niue and the Cooks (which is convenient, as it seems Niue isn't displaying properly). — kwami (talk) 06:01, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Australia head of state and map.
editon the map at the stop it says that Australia has a female head of state. This is not true Sushidude21! (talk) 12:37, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
Julie Bishop
edit... has 2 entries under Elected or appointed acting female chief executives. Shouldn't they be merged similar to Soong Ching-ling, Irena Degutienė, Nino Burjanadze ... ? 2003:FC:A730:9105:19E1:8F39:2BE9:6487 (talk) 17:26, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
