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.

India[edit]

India should be yellow because its GDP (PPP) per capita is 10,203 US-Dollars. 2A02:908:D40:BA43:954F:B7FF:8D5E:8E18 (talk) 16:20, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Map has errors[edit]

The Map has errors. For example Chad should not be yellow SKAG123 (talk) 06:19, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Chad is fixed. Titanx114 (talk) 04:57, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lithuania[edit]

Lithuania should not be blue as it‘s GPD PPP does not surpass the 60,000 USD threshold. Alcame01 (talk) 18:06, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Lithuania is now fixed. Titanx114 (talk) 04:57, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! Additionally I would appreciate it if You could correct Czech Republic, Oman, Bosnia and the Republic of Congo (but not the Democratic Republic of Congo). I would do it myself but I do not know how to do it. Thank You very much again for Your effort. 2A05:1141:1DC:8100:4D21:F4E:7275:3F60 (talk) 12:40, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Map is incorrectly reflecting GDP for Czech Republic, which, like Lithuanian is above 50.000. Korbeldesign (talk) 07:54, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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. Charliehdb (talk) 11:15, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Afghanistan Habibi: Stop changing Iran's GDP numbers.[edit]

This is the second instance in which this user has been dramatically editing Iran's GDP per capita number without proper citation and likely with malicious intent.

The first instance was on the GDP (nominal) per capita page where he changed the IMF 2024 number for Iran from the verified $5,310 figure to $929 with the year 2018 inexplicably added and without any source.

Now he has changed it on this page from the official IMF 2024 figure of $21,220 to $2,065, curiously enough below Afghanistan and again without a source to back up this fabrication.

This is a degree of bizarre spitefulness which I am frankly embarrassed to even confront, but I am asking someone to please correct this fabrication and for an administrator to investigate what should be done about this user who likely won't stop spewing certifiable falsehoods regarding a particular country. 2603:8001:6802:C56D:D0D4:79B4:D1FF:B210 (talk) 21:23, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let me add an addendum: this was the second instance in which this user has revised without cause Iran's GDP numbers. He did it again on the nominal per capita page after it was corrected the first time, changing it again from its correct data of $5,310 to $516, a conclusion he apparently divined by removing six zeros from Iran's nominal GDP (according to the IMF) and dividing it by the population (the equation being 0.005168, but whatever...). This demonstrates a flagrant disregard for the rules and ethics of this website (not to mention laughable and shameless methodology) and should be dealt with accordingly by an administrator. 2603:8001:6802:C56D:D0D4:79B4:D1FF:B210 (talk) 00:54, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Iran's GDP per capita is wrong[edit]

IMF has put Iran's GDP per capita at 21,219.523 but it has been published here wrongly at 5472. 212.80.14.234 (talk) 08:06, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Also removed the duplicate entry for Iraq while I was in there. PianoDan (talk) 16:45, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The ranking is still wrong. Seems that you did not sort the table out after correcting the number. 2A02:4540:28:B94:966D:9C29:85F9:2A48 (talk) 07:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, got it - didn't realize that the items weren't auto-sorted at all when you first load the page. Fixed. PianoDan (talk) 14:16, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Map show chile and uruguay in wrong color[edit]

Inconsistencies between related pages[edit]

There are a total of 4 Wikipedia pages related to list of countries by gdp.

List of countries by GDP (nominal),

List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita,

List of countries by GDP (PPP),

List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita.

The problem is that even though all the pages use the data released by the IMF and sort and order the data by that, they treat countries like Taiwan and Kosovo very differently on each page.

On the GDP and PPP per capita pages, Taiwan and Kosovo have a grey background,

while on the GDP per capita and PPP pages, Taiwan and Kosovo have a white background like the other countries.

In former versions of GDP and PPP per capita pages, the criteria was simply "whether or not there is individual IMF data", regardless of whether the region was a country or not, or whether it was not a limited recognition.

In other words, the condition for a grey background and no ranking number to be displayed was no IMF data . In that version, countries with individual IMF data, such as Taiwan and Kosovo, were properly ranked, and countries without IMF data, such as North Korea and Syria, had a grey background.

To resolve this current strange situation, I would like to make a suggestion.

In all four pages of GDP, GDP per capita, PPP, and PPP per capita, the criteria for not ranking numbering is set to no IMF data .

This is the same state as the previous version.

No matter what conclusion is reached regarding how to number the rankings in this discussion, I hope that the handling on all four pages will be unified.
