Talk:List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita

message: I would appreciate an explicit remark about ranking being given exclusively to the countries that are members of IMF. Having Taiwan, Kosovo, and Palestine on one hand and missing Cuba, Monaco, North Korea, and Lichtenstein on the other is highly confusing.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.79.110.116 (talk) 23:21, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Remark about number ranking only for IMF members   

message: firstly, taiwan is lacking the GDP per capita for the world bank and UN, while cuba is only lacking the gdp per capita for the IMF.
Secondly, taiwan is part of china, so it would be more reasonable for cuba to be given a number more than taiwan. Thehistorianisaac (talk) 00:40, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Neither is Taiwan (it was ejected in 1980). The reason there's no data for Cuba is that the Cuban government doesn't provide credible figures. 108.31.224.46 (talk) 18:23, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Russia GDP per capita fell, many African countries as usual or others not risen despite the popular African countries are growing fast but Fucking Ukraine which has been devastated by war since last year has risen from 4200 to 5200$ like seriously?

message: Someone added new column 'median estimate' and in majority of countries just copied old data from 2022. Positions of countries in the table were mixed up. Because of that, the table (for most countries) shows 2022 rankings, not rankings based on 2023 estimates, like before this new mess. 188.33.240.10 (talk) 12:45, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I added it. I am well aware that it combined data from different years, limiting its functionality. However, I could think of no other way to represent that some entities have data from some sources and some do not.

thread_title:  Median estimates makes no sense at all 

message: The sources are from different years and IMF is the most important benchmark used in statistics. On the Wiki page of each country, the GDP is sorted by IMF and the ranking of countries were mixed up, because of this useless median artifice. Where IMF data is missing, to be completed with data from WB or UN. Monaco and Liechtenstein are considered self-governance in the current list and not countries. An administrator to choose whether this median estimate is useful and must be deleted or retained. I remain of the opinion that median estimation is useless, and the ranking according to IMF data is the most important reference. MIHAIL (talk) 04:12, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: I would also support removing the median estimate. The IMF World Bank and UN estimates are from different years so averaging them is misleading. The list should be ranked based on the IMF estimates as it looks like the most recent. SKAG123 (talk) 21:30, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

text: Hello, the IMF data for 2024 are estimates, so you have to wait for the April report to change them. Qplb191 (talk) 09:28, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Data for 2024 are estimates, but same goes for 2023 data and for data a few years back. In fact, the column where we keep the nominal GDP per capita number in this article has been called "Estimate" for years. Due to the fact that the year is now 2024 and IMF has published their estimates for this year, I do not see a reason to remove them. Fiszu2001 (talk) 15:31, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  2024 Update 

message: Hey @Qplb191, I've reverted your revert.
World's GDP (nominal) per capita is projected as 13,870 for 2024, according to IMF.
It can be found e.g. here:

replies: text: Hello!@Fiszu2001 I would appreciate it if you would make self revert. We do not record the data for 2024 because it is only based on the assumptions and estimates of the IMF and we have to wait for the April report to verify it.The median GDP per capita is from the latest period and it is also by the IMF and in general median information is much more accurate then average so I have no idea why you removed it. I would appreciate if you would please do a self revert because this change was not agreed upon. Qplb191 (talk) 21:42, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The idea to update the IMF data to 2024 has been proposed by @Skartsis and agreed with @Aj145 (from what I understand) as well as me.

replies: text: Agree, I do not have any idea who put the median estimate. It’s widely known that median salary or median GDP per capita is much more accurate than average. But now the table is like a mess. Qplb191 (talk) 02:13, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

text: I understand that the IMF will release more accurate estimates later in the year. However, since the start of 2024, they have been using the current estimates for this year as the official figures on all of their web pages, for example, GDP per capita at current prices (https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/NGDPDPC@WEO/OEMDC/ADVEC/WEOWORLD). If the IMF has adopted these estimates, Wikipedia should do the same. Fiszu2001 (talk) 18:41, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
