In the box on top right it is said that Dadax is the parent of Worldometer. - They state on their website -

"Worldometers.info is not owned by us. You may contact them from : https://www.worldometers.info/contact/"

It has to be set right.--2001:16B8:C14E:9800:5596:396E:951A:C243 (talk) 20:39, 14 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Whatever may be behind it

User:Chrisahn deleted the following paragraph, arguing that it was “unsourced”: “Furthermore, the website, although showing not only UN-Members, but also dependent territories (such as Aruba or the Faeroe Islands, among others) as well as not UN-recognized countries (such as Taiwan or Western Sahara), on the other hand omits the data for the Kosovo at all.” But please note: the source is Worldometer itself. How to contribute better sources than the website itself? I did resign from restore that paragraph to avoid an “edit war”. But I wonder whose interests may be involved when deleting such information that adds to the doubts about the reliability of this site. Melekeok (talk) 22:39, 31 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

You got me. I'm actually a secret agent of Worldometer. ;-) Seriously - you should have a look at WP:AGF. If there are more sources raising doubts about the reliability of Worldometer: great, let's add them to the article! But we don't raise such doubts ourselves. For example, of the entities listed in List of states with limited recognition#States that are neither UN members nor UN observers, only Taiwan is listed in https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/population-by-country/. (Worldometer also mentions Western Sahara, but not the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.) Not listed by Worldometer: Northern Cyprus, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Kosovo, Transnistria, Republic of Artsakh, Somaliland. You seem to believe that Worldometer treats Kosovo unfairly, but as long as no reliable sources support that claim, that's just your own original research. I agree that it looks like Worldometer's approach to partially recognized countries is a bit inconsistent, but as long as no reliable sources mention this slight inconsistency, we shouldn't do it either, and there's no reason to single out Kosovo. — Chrisahn (talk) 00:16, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your reply. No offence! Melekeok (talk) 10:55, 13 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
