File talk:Gdp real growth rate 2007 CIA Factbook.PNG

Stupid chart, use of very similar colour means it is very difficult to know what band of growth a country is in.--193.183.105.147 (talk) 20:08, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Great map. I added it to Financial crisis of 2007–2010. Given the caption says it is 2009 data, I suggest any data from earlier than 2009 is greyed out. Also, you appear to have a green dot for the area of the the Channel Islands, but CIA Factbook doesn't seem to have any data on them. Could you perhaps be mixing them up with the Isle of Man? Also, are you certain about your other green areas in Europe, like Albania, San Marino and Liechtenstein? - Chumchum7 (talk) 18:50, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The channel island in question is Guernsey, but its positive growth data is from 2005, not 2009, so you are right, it should be removed. Same thing with San Marino and Liechtenstein, but not Albania.Kami888 (talk) 16:44, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot for your quick response and for your edit. I also added it to Late 2000s Recession. I love maps. -Chumchum7 (talk) 17:24, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

What's up with Botswana? Are you sure you're not confusing it with Zimbabwe (the neighbouring country to the east of Botswana)?
 * Look, I'm not doing any original research here when coloring the map, I'm just taking figures directly from the CIA World Factbook. It's easy to verity whether I confused something or not - all you have to do is look at their website which is linked in the image description page and the appropriate article page (list of countries by real gdp growth). So no, it doesn't look like I confused them. Botswana is one of the "tiger" economies which was severely hit by the crisis. Kami888 (talk) 13:34, 9 April 2010 (UTC)


 * On that point, is there any chance of linking the territories on the map to the relevant articles on them? Or at least allowing a cursor pop up to indicate what countries that are ? Thanks, -Chumchum7 (talk) 08:20, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't know how to do that, sorry. :) I only have the basic skills in editing simple rastor and vector files. Kami888 (talk) 13:34, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Understood. Your work is very much appreciated. Perhaps there is someone out there who will contribute with an easy method of creating Cursor_(computers) on maps. -Chumchum7 (talk) 13:41, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

The legend is incorrect on this image. For example, -8-10% is a range of 18%, not 2%. The correct label is -8--10%. 198.151.130.18 (talk) 20:36, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, the legend sucks. But your proposal is also rather confusing-looking. Another problem is that 0 seems to fall both in range for 0 to +2 and 0 to -2 as inclusion is undefined. You are free to make the scale better if you think you find it necessary and proper. Kami888 (talk) 08:41, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
