World Population Chart
I was wondering if you had a particular reason for replacing on the World Population article? I'm not particularly attached to the old one (the design wasn't even mine, I just vectorized it), but even though I never got around to it, I was hoping that the replacement image would be the output of something like a Gnuplot or R script. Basically, I want to avoid the problem that we ran into several months ago, where I wasn't paying attention and someone had to remind me to update the figures. If it was the output of a script, anyone could just come along, run it, and upload the output. Would you be willing to write and post such a script, or, failing that, be alright with me doing so eventually? - Tga (talk) 02:15, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello Tga.D. I updated the figure to make it easier to understand by increasing font sizes, removing unnecessary components (e.g., the grid), and changing how the data was labeled. I agree that a more easily modifiable plot would be preferable; honestly I wasn't aware of the possibility of posting a script. Now that I know, I will make a note to come back and update it time pending (next few months?). I am absolutely alright with you doing it too; perhaps then I could learn from your script.
