Location maps available for infoboxes of European countries

On the WikiProject Countries talk page, the section Location Maps for European countries had shown new maps created by David Liuzzo, that are available for the countries of the European continent, and for countries of the European Union exist in two versions. From November 16, 2006 till January 31, 2007, a poll had tried to find a consensus for usage of 'old' or of which and where 'new' version maps. Please note that since January 1, 2007 all new maps became updated by David Liuzzo (including a world locator, enlarged cut-out for small countries) and as of February 4, 2007 the restricted licence that had jeopardized their availability on Wikimedia Commons, became more free. At its closing, 25 people had spoken in favor of either of the two presented usages of new versions but neither version had reached a consensus (12 and 13), and 18 had preferred old maps.

Please change "The unified kingdom of Norway was established in 872 as a merger of petty kingdoms and has existed continuously for 1150–151 years" to "The unified kingdom of Norway was established in 872 as a merger of petty kingdoms and has existed continuously for over 1150 years".

I have changed age to 1151–1152 which currently displays as "1150-1151 years". This is better than a static "over 1150 years" because it is dynamic: next year it will say "1151-1152 years"

Economy section

Which areas of Norway's economy has no state regulations? The article says a prosperous capitalist welfare state, it features a combination of free market activity and large state ownership in certain key sectors

There is well sourced data about the welfare state but not about areas of free market (supposing there is any of relevance)

Also, the line prosperous capitalist welfare state, should the word capitalist be there? 186.22.17.160 (talk) 11:23, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
