Talk:Country code

Separate code types
I propose we create two separate pages, one for ISO 3166, and one for Internet ccTLDs, since some Internet ccTLDs are not ISO 3166 codes, and most ISO 3166 codes are not Internet ccTLDs. Then we can have a page country codes, which points to various different types of country codes -- Internet ccTLDs, ISO 3166 codes, FIPS codes, E.164 codes, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SJK (talk • contribs) 07:03, 20 December 2001 (UTC)

If, as seems to be the case, you're intending to list all the alpha-3 codes, then I think we need separate pages for the lists, otherwise the article will become unwieldy. So I suggest that we have a page for the alpha-2 list and another page for the alpha-3 list (and another page for the numeric codes if we want to list them). Any general information on ISO 3166 codes can be moved to the ISO 3166 article. Information on ccTLDs can go in the ccTLD section of the top-level domain article. And the country codes article can be used as you suggest. --Zundark, 2001 Dec 20 — Preceding undated comment added 09:30, 20 December 2001 (UTC)

Consolidated list of various country code schemes and mapping among them
Dear Zundark, Hu12, Tangerines, and others who have corrected my editing - I am fairly new to Wikipedia, so please pardon any newbie errors. After your corrections, I read up on the rules regarding external links. So here is the situation: CommonDataHub is a relatively new service that makes available various code sets, one of which is country codes (other subject areas are coming up). It strives to provide information and mapping that is not available elsewhere, and people have found it quite useful. (If it matters - much of the information there is available free without any registration, some of it requires a paid subscription.) Unfortunately, since I am affiliated with it, according to the rules I cannot add that link here. If any of you are subject matter experts in this area, kindly review www.commondatahub.com, and if you feel it is relevant and useful to the public, please add it as an external link. Thank you, Sincerely, Mkwk567 (talk) 17:34, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
