Talk:List of countries by population
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
One of the two lists says "Myanmar", the other "Burma". Which should we use? I prefer "Burma" but perhaps we should use both in both places.
Burma is no longer the official name. You should use Myanmar please--BozMo 11:42, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- That's debatable. The "official" name was assigned to the country by an illegal military junta. Which name does the legitimate, democratically elected leader, Aung San Su Kyi, use? And which name does the BBC continue to use, for that matter, or many other leading authorities?
[edit] Simplify
Hi! I've tried my best to simplify this page. FYI, I've taken out one of the population lists because having two seems confusing. If you feel like I was wrong in this, please feel free to re-add. :) Miss Puffskein 23:55, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Updated for 2005
I have changed all the population numbers so that they are up to date for August 2005. If there are any errors, you know what to do. :D Terrafire 13:19, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
