Talk:Suriname

message: We indicate the official language is 'Dutch' but link to 'Surinamese Dutch'.  Should we change the link label to 'Surinamese Dutch' by simple virtue of the fact that that article exists?  A counter-argument might be that the national statute specifies "Dutch" per se.  I don't know if this is the case, but if it is, ought we not link to the standard Dutch article?Hayttom (talk) 07:38, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

message: Dear Editors of Wikipedia, I am seeking help to correct a big injustice on this platform. This refers to the articles about Suriname. Suriname has 2 disputed areas since colonial times. One is with Guyana and one with French Guiana. These borders are till this day, May 2023, not settled, meaning they are disputed. Even Google maps and other map sources online show them as disputed, where BOTH country’s claims are displayed.
Here on Wikipedia there seems to be a certain Bias of editors to leave these areas out completely from the maps of Suriname, while they are proudly displayed as Undisputed on the maps of Guyana. Some maps on this platform show the areas as Disputed at least on the maps of Suriname, but when it comes to Guyana/French Guiana, they are not marked as disputed. This is not Fair. A Disputed area means it is disputed between 2 countries, why is it that it is removed from the maps of Suriname and placed normally on the maps of the other country? Due to the lack of maps on the internet as Suriname sees the borders almost every map online is incomplete. Now that the Surinamese version of the maps are being placed online, they are being marked as “Not Neutral” ? where were these remarks for the past years where the maps of Guyana for example were not Marked accordingly?
I want to ask Neutral Editor son this platform to change the Maps of Guyana-Suriname-French Guiana all equally showing disputed areas accordingly. It is not Correct, not Neutral, and not transparent to show these areas normally on Guyanese maps/Articles, on French Guianese maps/Articles but when it comes to Suriname, these areas are removed completely. And when people try to add them, they get reverted constantly.
Thank you for reading, I hope to get some help in this matter because for Surinamese Citizens it is very disturbing to come to a source of information like Wikipedia and see incorrect/incomplete/Not Neutral maps of Suriname on this platform. SurinameCentral (talk) 12:44, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

message: Thanks to an incompetent sockpuppeteer who cannot make a point properly, we are currently worse than Britannica when it comes to the area of this country.  The area is disputed, because there is a border dispute.
A 21st century Gale encyclopaedia says 163,270, the 2004 Collins World Atlas says 163,820, the 2003 CIA World Factbook says 163,270, the 1990 Britannica Book of the Year says 163,820. The 2008 Britannica Book of the Year sticks to its guns with the 163,820 figure and has a footnote explaining that the dispute is the reason for the figure and what the difference is.
Whereas we're devoting so much energy to a sockpuppetteer that we've not even managed to explain the figures to the reader as well as Britannica was doing in 2008.
