Talk:World population milestones

Ref for billions table
we need one. I've looked at the Census bureau's website and the UN's. There is an identical table on 'infoplease.com' or whatever, and it lists the UN as the source, but i havent found any UN population extrapolations from earlier than 1950. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.1.81 (talk) 04:00, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

World population milestones → Population milestone babies – I suggest renaming this article and adjusting its focus, to allow for symbolic milestone babies at national level as well as global level. The information currently in the article which would not belong in the renamed article is already mostly at World population; that section would simply replace the Main "World population milestones" with a seealso "Population milestone babies". I have a list of national and subnational babies that might be included in the the renamed article.

Here are some national babies that would be added to : jnestorius(talk) 10:16, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

According to the UN we reached 8 billion people. Not sure about anything else though Ziggyzaggy300 (talk) 23:04, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

when were the USCB projections?
these sections need more info + polishing 216.164.249.213 (talk) 16:23, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

What's going on with the years tables?
Especially the USCB projections, where the time elapsed numbers are way off. I think they were originally filled out with old numbers (hence 2011 and 2022 etc being italicized), then updated to fit modern developments but not fully corrected. Anyone on top of the data able to fix? BlackholeWA (talk) 02:15, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
