File talk:Countries by soldier count.svg

Key/Legend Text is not readable even when zoomed.

Needs correcting to be made readable, or additional text of legend added separately on the page.

Wrong use of map type: Image should be replaced and subsequently deleted
This map shows absolute numbers with colors in a Choropleth map. This type of map is (in map sciences) supposed to show relative numbers and densities, and NOT absolute numbers.

It would be acceptable to show ratio of soldiers in comparison to country inhabitants, or ratio of soldiers in comparison to area. It would also be acceptable to show the absolute numbers in a diagram style (larger circles/boxes for larger armies).

This image should be replaced in all articles that use the image, because countries with proportionally large armies are here wrongly represented as having a small army. --Enyavar (talk) 16:54, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
