Requested move

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was: Moved to alternative suggestion List of countries in the Americas by population. The current title's use of Pan-American (meaning embracing the whole continent) is not precisely correct, while the alternative suggestion is also less ambiguous than the original title. (See also Talk:List of countries and territories in the Americas#Requested move.) Station1 (talk) 06:39, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of Pan-American countries by population → List of American countries by population — This is the original title of the page, a list of all the countries in the American continent. A user is changing every single article related to America to "Pan-America" pushing a POV. Alex Covarrubias ^{( Talk? )} 19:11, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest as alternative title, List of countries in the Americas by population. America, being a denonym of the United States, is too ambiguous, whereas the Americas has a clear meaning. YeshuaDavid • Talk • 19:31, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose use the alternative suggested by David instead, List of countries in the Americas by population. 76.66.197.30 (talk) 04:04, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Numbers under incorrect headings

The United States and Brazil have all their numbers placed in the wrong columns. I'd fix it myself but I rarely edit wikipedia and the edit page is very confusing with all the table formatting, which I don't want to mess up. It'd be great if someone who knows how to do so could fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.193.141 (talk) 19:40, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out. Station1 (talk) 07:30, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
