Talk:The Economist Democracy Index

Mexico is North America tmk
I've always learnt that Mexico is North America, but in this article it's listed as Latin America. 62.45.42.33 (talk) 15:11, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

In the last table of the page: "Components Year 2023", column "Changes in score" in the line for the country "Chile" the quantity seems right (0.24) but the arrow UP seems wrong, because according to the previous table Chile's score went DOWN from 8.22 (in 2022) to 7.98 (in 2023) 2804:14C:60:9811:B68D:B8B5:4F72:C88F (talk) 17:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ Good catch, I doubled checked the citation and the score indeed fell from 8.22 to 7.98. The arrow now shows that the score decreased, thanks. Jamedeus (talk) 21:42, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Incorrect map legend
Either I'm horribly misreading the legend, or the legend is reversed for the map. The western countries are colored blue which, according to the map legend, classifies them as hybrid/authoritarian regimes. However, the data in the tables in the article show that their scores put them into the flawed/full democracy margin. Those tables are also correctly color-coded to the legend, as in North America's table entries are yellow which corresponds to the map legend's classification of yellow.

I think the legend corresponds to the color-coding of the tables in the article (or vice versa), but the map's colors are reversed. Either the legend + table colors should be changed to reflect the map, or the map changed to reflect the legend. 2001:48F8:7052:EBB:C882:123B:66DE:393 (talk) 22:16, 14 May 2024 (UTC)


 * What do you mean? The colour scheme is the same throughout the article, map included. And the map legend reflects that correctly. Gorpik (talk) 16:03, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You're right. I had an extension installed that for some reason exactly inverted the colors in the article. 2001:48F8:7052:EBB:4C2D:51DA:5460:F9A4 (talk) 20:32, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

The article should be protected again.

 * Seeing how there was one vandal edit shortly after the previous protection expired and nothing since, I think indefinite pending changes would probably be a good idea. The article's edit frequency is generally low. 2603:8001:8F40:5C:7407:64A:46AD:C2F0 (talk) 06:14, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
