Talk:Financial and social rankings of sovereign states in Europe

Notes[edit]

I have made this site so that Wikipedia can have a ranking-based index of European countries and their statistics. However, I don't think the title is totally appropriate ("European countries") - maybe these tables could all be incorporated into the Europe page? Any ideas?

European countries 22:51, 16 Aug 2003 . . Patrick (moved to "Financial_and_social_rankings_of_European_countries")

22:49, 16 Aug 2003 . . Patrick (moved area to Area and population of European countries)

19 Aug 2003 - Excellent! Good that you moved area over to the other page since it was more appropriate there. By the way, if anyone else wants to build on to this list (add more rankings) feel free to do so... and not only on Europe - how about a page "Financial and social rankings of Asian countries" is made?


Are these figures correct? I didn't think Lithuania was so rich, or Luxembourg so poor Crusadeonilliteracy 18:34, 21 Nov 2003 (UTC)

    • You are correct, some anonymous IP had flipped the two a few weeks ago. - SimonP 18:43, Nov 21, 2003 (UTC)

Added external debt figure for UK, taken from http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/qb/ukextl03.pdf, and an exchange rate from http://www.spectrumcommodities.com/education/commodity/bp.html. Still no figures for France and Germany the other two big economies...


I think the figures should be in Euros. If people want to compare with the US, just give the exchange rate as at the year end. Perhaps bear this in mind when this page is updated with information from 2003(or whenever)?

Since the Europe page (which is listed in the top 100 pages viewed page so obviously it gets a lot of traffic) links to this one it might be worth updating this and making it look nicer. I updated the numbers for GDP per capita but don't want to spend any more time on it at this time.

to do:

1. update all the tables with 2006 data
2. make them look nicer, like the bottom tables
3. list sources used both on the page and this discussion page
4. figure out if this data is copyrighted and include that information on this page
5. put dates of last update on this page so that we know when we can expect new data

I used the CIA factbook for the GDP per capita (2006 est.) Voodoo 02:36, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ongoing updates[edit]

Hi all. I spent a few hours this evening doing some major updates to this page. I had intended to create an entirely new page though felt it unnecessary given this and my own are essentially seeking to do the same thing. The information on this page was generally from around 2008, so I have begun to update much of the data so it is accurate. I have also added new pieces of data along with graphics. The page is still under construction though as it was already an established page I chose not to complete these works in my sandbox. As such please don't substantially update this page unless contributing to what has already been laid out. Thanks. The updates have now been completed.
