Talk:List of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

Initial comments
What order should the societies be listed in? is it vain to put the American Red Cross on top?

Lebanon on the map
The map is wrong. Lebanon uses the Red Cross. Could someone fix it? Eklipse (talk) 17:42, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

list, map - discrepancies
I see a few discrepancies between the current list as it stands, the map, and this list at the IFRC site:. Because of this, I propose to split the list in the following sections: national societies members of the federation, other national societies (here the special cases would have notes as "observer, federation membership pending" or other as per each case), states with no national society.

Chronology
Would be great if someone could dig up the years of establishment for each national society and put them in a table.Noodleki (talk) 18:24, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Mongolia
Does anyone know why the map shows a little green strip inside Mongolia? Is there a regional society that uses the Red Crescent? I don't see anything that would explain it on the Mongolia Red Cross page. 130.56.50.109 (talk) 03:48, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Mauritania uses the Red Crescent symbol...
...Yet is marked as using the Red Cross on the map. Also, Israel's national society refers to the "Shield of David", not "Star of David". Вечный подмастерье (talk) 01:16, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * While Magen is Shield, the phrase Magen David is translated as Star of David into English in general. Not sure on Mauritania.Naraht (talk) 02:04, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Bhutan
Is the Bhutan Red Cross Society not a member of the IRCS. For some reason it is a different colour on the map. 2A00:23C4:B3AB:DA01:E94E:4FF1:6FFF:9E9C (talk) 10:42, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
