List of Brazilian federative units by Human Development Index

 * Nominator(s): Felipe Menegaz 23:55, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

I believe that this list is superior to similar lists of country subdivisions in several aspects. It is well organized and informative and I think it meets the FL criteria. Felipe Menegaz 23:55, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Support. A good list well presented. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:09, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Interesting list but I almost want to see the global index for Brazil in the middle of the table (asides from the average one at the bottom). Nergaal (talk) 20:10, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The reason I didn't add it to the list is that the figures for Brazil on the local report (the average) are different from the global report. So I decided to just mention the global index on the lead, while leaving a footnote explaining the discrepancy. Felipe Menegaz 06:18, 28 August 2013 (UTC)


 * you should clarify. When you say that in 1991, Piaul's HDI was comparable to Bangladesh, is it the Bangladesh HDI of 1991 or today?—indopug (talk) 06:38, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * It was compared to the 1990 figures provided by the 2013 Human Development Report. Felipe Menegaz 22:50, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Oppose at the moment, this list appears to be a significant distance from being featured:
 * The separate "Rank" table doesn't line up with the main table, rendering it useless.
 * In my browser it lines up perfectly, but I made little adjustments. Could you confirm if it is still not lined-up? Felipe Menegaz 22:50, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * It still doesn't line up for me.  Harrias  talk 20:49, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The rank should be one column of the whole table, not a separate table. You can make that one column non-sortable.-Godot13 (talk) 21:28, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Alright. It's done. Felipe Menegaz 01:44, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The table uses a flag without the name of the country, in contravention of MOS:FLAG, and tool-tips to provide information, in contravention of MOS:ACCESS.
 * See below. Felipe Menegaz 22:50, 19 September 2013 (UTC)


 * The three maps, and all of the flags are lacking alt text, per WP:ALT.
 * See below. <b style="font-size:small; font-family:vivaldi; color:black;">Felipe Menegaz</b> 22:50, 19 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Per MOS:NUM, use commas, not periods to group digits in large number (5,565 Brazilian municipalities, rather than 5.565 Brazilian municipalities, for example.)
 * Done. <b style="font-size:small; font-family:vivaldi; color:black;">Felipe Menegaz</b> 22:50, 19 September 2013 (UTC)


 * How the comparable country selected?  Harrias  <sup style="color:#009900;">talk 16:50, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Since there were so many problems and controversy regarding the comparison with countries, I decided to remove it. Tool-tips were used due to width issues. The comparison was made in the selected years according to the 2013 Human Development Report, which provides updated numbers for a historical series beginning in 1980. The countries with the closest HDI value to the Federative unit in case was displayed. <b style="font-size:small; font-family:vivaldi; color:black;">Felipe Menegaz</b> 22:50, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
