message: The list should be sortable by country. Currently, to find out all tripoints of Country A, one needs to sort the list by all the columns, as they are spread through all of them. Each column (and certainly the first!) should provide a comprehensive list of tripoints.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  19:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it would be nice to be able to sort them that way, but I can't think of a way to do it without listing each tripoint three times.--Lasunncty (talk) 09:14, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

text: We should divide the list by continent. It would make it easier to find a particular tripoint.--BIL (talk) 08:56, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Historical tripoints

message: here is a list of all the world class trijunctions in the world
of which the great majority are tripoints
[]
recently submitted to the 477 members of the int boundaries list of the international boundaries research unit at the u of durham in england
& saluted by the worlds leading authority with a nomination for an honorary degree
its encyclopedic approach is to subsume tripoints along with trilines & triareas in the master category of trijunctions
but in any case its tripoint count is higher & therefore at least apparently more inclusive than the present collection here
also better illustrated etc
& it obviates many of the concerns expressed below
but it cant be easily integrated into the present setup
perhaps it could be the basis for a separate article entitled 
boundary & territorial trijunctions
if that would not be in conflict with the present one

message: I first tried to fix the incorrectly sorting table by replacing the Dhekelia wikitext with Template:DHE, but that did not work. Then I noticed that the list does not define an inclusion criteria: "country" is poorly defined. ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 gives three letter codes for "countries, dependent territories, and special areas of geographical interest" but does not include all territories. Notably, Dhekelia is missing. I don't know whether any other territories exist that could create tripoints, but either the article needs to state "countries and special territories", or else Dhekelia should be removed. As to the broken table sorting, a wikitable expert is needed. 84user (talk) 22:51, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What sorting problem do you see?  I have reverted the change to use the non-standard flag template, and on my browser (IE 7.0), I still do not see any mis-sorted entries.  — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 18:44, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup needed

message: the present claim of completeness is questionable to say the least
but the article is strange also in the way it is organized & presented
as others have also suggested
a truly complete & well formatted assemblage of all the intended data actually does already exist elsewhere 
& it could easily be imported in full or perhaps adapted bit by bit so as to fit in here
yet who could take responsibility for integrating it in all details with the present setup
or for simply dropping the present setup entirely 
in favor of the needed fresh start   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Egull (talk • contribs) 00:04, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
