Please update Brazil HDI to 0.805 https://noticias.uol.com.br/cotidiano/ultimas-noticias/2026/05/26/idh-brasil-maior-da-historia-recorde-desigualdade-segue.htm https://www.undp.org/pt/brazil/desenvolvimento-humano/painel-idhm BrunoGrange (talk) 15:12, 26 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Already done In the infobox, the HDI has been updated. Theeverywhereperson talk here 09:36, 27 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

The HDI recently updated in this article (0.805, 66th) is incorrect and based on a confusion between two different indices. The source cited (UOL) and the UNDP Brazil panel linked refer to the MHDI (Municipal Human Development Index), a methodology adapted by UNDP Brazil for subnational analysis. This index does not produce international rankings and is not comparable across countries. The correct global HDI, as published in the official Human Development Report 2025 by UNDP, uses 2023 reference data and places Brazil at: * HDI: 0.786 * Rank: 84th out of 193 countries * Category: High human development (below the 0.800 threshold for "very high") ~2026-34611-85 (talk) 15:08, 11 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Ignoring your request (apart from this reply), ~2026-34611-85, as it is probably AI-generated. Theeverywhereperson talk here ^{In solidarity!} 15:27, 11 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Globe/map suggests Brazil is landlocked

Latest comment: 1 month ago2 comments1 person in discussion

I didn't see any talk about the globe/map in the article summary showing the location and extent of Brazil. That map suggests that Brazil is landlocked, because it shows the 200 mile marine economic zone in the same colours as other land, and it does NOT show that zone around other countries. Anyone who does not already know that that zone along Brazil's Atlantic coast is ocean could easily be misled. Who created those maps? Is there a template? I will check to see if this same mapping scheme applies to other countries. Robintundrabay (talk) 11:17, 16 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

To be more precise, the marine zone does have a lighter outline, but the fill is the same, and it could easily be mistaken for land. I suggest a dashed outline as is done in many topo maps. Robintundrabay (talk) 11:21, 16 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
