With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:

Clear vandalism of whatever origin may be reverted without restriction. Also, reverts made solely to enforce the extended confirmed restriction are not considered edit warring.
Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence.

After being warned, contentious topics procedure can be used against any editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process.

Proposal: Treemap of Country GDP

I have created a treemap of World GDP by Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) 2020 in USD. I used the CIA World Factbook data. As a JavaScript framework I used the popular D3.js. The colors are the different geographic areas (e.g. Africa is green).

Link: https://treemap-world-economy.pages.dev

I propose to add a similar treemap to this page because it makes the relations of the GDP by PPP between the different countries more clear, than let's say a geographic word map. If you need help in integrating a similar treemap to this page, I could jump in. Tderflinger (talk) 09:15, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would be helpful to include EU as a whole

Would be helpful to include EU as a column in the graph and as a row in table (with a footnote to avoid double-counting), or at least as a note in the text. While this is stated to be a list of countries, the EU acts together and showing how the total economy of the EU compares to USA and China (and others - Japan, UK, Russia) would be helpful to readers. Thanks. UsuallyWizard (talk) 19:50, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Russia's GDP PPP

According to the latest IMF data, Russia is now the fourth largest economy in terms of PPP GDP. That needs to be updated in the tables. 203.81.240.105 (talk) 14:01, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

World map is totally illegible at a glance

Could we replace the world map with the original version, currently used in 13 other languages' versions of this article?

The original is far more legible without having to zoom in and look at the legend. If you want to know a specific country's GDP, it's listed in the article. The original also better shows the global north-south divide.

I'd happily fix it myself but it's unclear which parts of the article are contentious/restricted. Apfelmaische (talk) 00:45, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First picture is outdated

Title 5.44.169.117 (talk) 17:12, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming this is a reply to my topic. I've gone ahead and updated the colors without changing any of the data. If this is contentious I'll eat my hat. Went with a new color scheme that should be even easier to read? Maybe?
