[edit]

In the infobox, it says that it has the 33rd largest economy. Could someone change that to 28th to match with the article List of Countries by nominal PPP 2603:8080:D03:89D4:A12C:2B12:91E3:7B (talk) 23:43, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. M.Bitton (talk) 00:54, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Government box

[edit]

Since in the government box, Austria is listed as a “Federal Parliamentary Republic”, I believe that it should link to the already established page of the same name. It appears like this in other pages where they have the same thing I proposed. ErickTheMerrick (talk) 19:15, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the rub: have you actually taken a moment to read Federal parliamentary republic? Remsense ‥  23:23, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
?? I have and it's seems like it fits the description. What doesn't? ErickTheMerrick (talk) 23:35, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It amounts to a single paragraph and a clunky table, which is a far less informative destination for the reader than either Federalism or Parliamentary republic, where they may discover more than the broadest synthesis of the two concepts. (Frankly, I'm not sure Federal parliamentary republic should even be its own article, as there aren't any sources cited that actually discuss the subject in its own right; rather, it's presently effectively an improper editorial synthesis—and thus amounts to original research, which is not allowed on Wikipedia.)
That's related but tangential to the point, though. Frankly, I would in turn be much more inclined to consider linking Republic or Parliamentary system than Parliamentary republic from the same reasoning above.
We're interested in enabling the reader to unpack the key concepts at a glance, and equivalences of this kind are artificial and often unhelpful. Remsense ‥  23:43, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That’s actually a pretty good argument. I agree. ErickTheMerrick (talk) 01:02, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
