IMF Rankings[edit]

Please make Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Puerto Rico unranked (omit the number from the Rank column) in the latest IMF table just as in the other two tables.

Taiwan figure from CIA is not accurate[edit]

Taiwan's GDP per capita ($24502) is real GDP, not PPP.

Note on Mexico[edit]

Mexico is located in North American, not Central America.

Geographical classifications[edit]

Why in the table, is Russia classified as Europe and Turkey as Asia? Eurasia would be a far more accurate conceptualisation. France indeed, for one (like Spain) is not solely European. It lies partly in South America too, and elsewhere! Spain is partly African. And so forth. It would be better in my view, to stop cancelling identities with such crude and inaccurate, exclusionary classifications. 78.182.151.122 (talk) 09:29, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Update[edit]

The IMF webpage now presents the 2024 values. A good chance to upadate this article.Skartsis (talk) 14:54, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 27 January 2024[edit]

"Turkey" changed its official name to "Türkiye". Please update your article accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pedanticdidact (talkcontribs) 08:34, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: This has been discussed extensively at Talk:Turkey, with consensus to retain the English spelling as it remains the common name. Tollens (talk) 20:01, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sovereign states[edit]

The status quo has been maintained for a long time, but since March, someone has been editing things such as whether it is a sovereign country or not, and whether or not to include numerical rankings. For example, for a long time Taiwan was ranked as a sovereign nation. Those conditions should not be changed by some people's personal opinions. I suggest keeping the state "oldid=1207707741" until the discussion is over. Minchuchui (talk) 10:11, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, you edit more than once in 24 hours and start an edit war instead of starting a discussion on the talk page. Second, it is no different in March, we took the table used by the World Bank which does not include territories and countries with partial recognition (you are welcome to see at the World Bank websit)

The edit war was initiated by you. I am simply "restoring" what was unilaterally changed before reaching the discussion. For example, the edits you have made no longer refer to Taiwan as a sovereign state, but that should only be done when this conclusion of the discussion is "Taiwan should not be referred to as a sovereign state within this Wikipedia article".
Now, you say you referenced the World Bank page, but wikipedia and the World Bank are not identical. You can see that from other Wikipedia pages. What I am arguing is that Taiwan, which is often treated as a sovereign state in other Wikipedia articles, should be treated the same way. This is "consistent with its former version of article" prior to February. Minchuchui (talk) 11:11, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please look at the table, it is excellent to clarify that these are also countries like the World Bank, which is one of the most important economic bodies, I referred you to the concept of the World Bank that we used. You are the only editor who insists on this. Qplb191 (talk) 13:05, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If what you claim makes it OK to edit, then don't waste your time obsessing over this article and edit the other articles on wikipedia where it clearly states that Taiwan is a sovereign nation as well.
It is fine to change your opinion on this article, which does not get much attention, to some silly opinion like yours that Taiwan is not a sovereign nation, but if you change it to not treat Taiwan as a sovereign nation in some other article that gets more attention, many people will decide that you should not make that change, and it would be immediately reversed.
If you went to the trouble of editing the List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita article, you could change the List of countries by GDP (PPP), List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita, and List of countries by GDP (nominal) on your own, as you believe.
These and the other four articles, including these, are the ones that people like you have changed the rankings in the past as if Taiwan were not a sovereign nation, but have been repeatedly turned back, and as a result, Taiwan has remained ranked as a sovereign nation for a very long time.
Either way, if you change your opinion now to a strange one that treats Taiwan as not a sovereign state, it will eventually be questioned by many people, including senior wikipedia users, and the status will be changed to the past when Taiwan was treated as a sovereign state.

You did not look at the table at all, they did not claim that Taiwan is not sovereign, they claimed that it is a country with partial recognition as it appears in the World Bank table, which is one of the most important economic sources. I think you are a bit obsessive and you are in a minority opinion compared to all the editors that replied and explained to you. Qplb191 (talk) 16:52, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If editors like me are in the minority, why was Taiwan treated as a sovereign nation for so long? That's because many people have thought the same way as me.
And for some reason you seem to be fixated on the World Bank, but can't you read the word "IMF" written to the left of the table that says "world bank"? Minchuchui (talk) 23:38, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
