Talk:List of sovereign states

Denmark's link is wrong
The entry on this page for Denmark links to the page for Metropolitan Denmark, although it should link to the Kingdom of Denmark article. MossW268 (talk) 20:44, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

I agree. The sovereign state is the Kingdom. TheLegendofGanon (talk) 22:45, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

I've changed it. The link now points to the Kingdom, not the constituent country. TheLegendofGanon (talk) 20:50, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

at the top of the table Afghanistan is officially the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and should be changed to Afghanistan - Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Sobble432536 (talk) 11:18, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting question.svg Question: why do you want to change the common name? M.Bitton (talk) 22:24, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I think the request is to add the formal name. However, as it is not clear WHICH formal name should be applied, I support the current solution of not listing one. PianoDan (talk) 23:04, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

 * You did it for Abkhazia. Not South Ossetia. Sahrawi doesn't recognise Abkhazia. They only recognise South Ossetia. 80.4.77.150 (talk) 12:46, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

 * It says Sahrawi recognises Abkhazia when they don't. They recognise South Ossetia. 80.4.77.150 (talk) 18:41, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

As South Korea now has three autonomous regions and one self-governing city, it has to be changed from "South Korea has one autonomous region, Jeju Province." to "South Korea has three autonomous regions, Jeju Province, Gangwon State, and Jeonbuk State, and one self-governing city, Sejong city."

 * I'm not the original requestor and I don't want to make a change here without consensus, but this article seems to suggest that Gangwon and Jeonbuk are now autonomous "states" with a similar status to Jeju. https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20240118000682 Astrofreak92 (talk) 17:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree regarding the provinces/states, they are presented as autonomous and at the least more autonomy than the 'normal' provinces. Unfortunately sources seem scarce, and I can't find anything great on the Seoul/Sejong. CMD (talk) 01:19, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
