Afghanistan

in earlier revisions, there was a naming dispute over Eswatini/Swaziland, but it was kept as Swaziland due to the UNDP report saying that. So, I think it’s appropriate to change the Taliban flag to the UN recognized Islamic Republic of Afghanistan flag. ^48JCLTalk 02:08, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the 'List' section, the sentence before the table states that the data is from the 2022 report. This should be changed to the 2023 report, as the data has been updated to that from the UN's report from 2023. 119.234.6.24 (talk) 10:11, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The data given in the table matches that on [1] (page 274) which may be from a 2023 report but it uses 2022 data. --Ferien (talk) 15:45, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Annual growth and change in rank should start from the same year

It seems odd to me that the annual % growth starts from 2010 while the change in rank starts from 2015. I personally think both should start from 2012 as this would cover changes from the last 10 years, but regardless they should both start from the same year.

I want to be able to edit pages on Wikipedia to contribute services and the like to Wikipedia itself, as I also do research and whatnot from multiple sources, those of which I will do up-to-date & state-of-the-art editions for.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. M.Bitton (talk) 14:59, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chart changed, not showing year-by-year data?

Sorry if this is formatted wrong, 1st time ever using a talk board for a page. I swear this page used to have a way to look at the data for each country for each report over the last 10 or so years & now its just showing the most recent (and looking squished tbh) on the chart? Is this right? Or am I misremembering things? If it was changed, it seems like a poor change as now it is giving less info. ToadTendo (talk) 01:56, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

when will it actually update?

Also will we get the 2023 figures for the next update or 2024? 43.247.122.120 (talk) 01:05, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
