Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 30 September 2023 Population Density[edit]

Population density is left at the number that was calculated using the 2002 census results. Resident population now is >> 1,836,713. so: 1,836,713 people / 25,713 km sq = 71.4 people/km sq, not 80.1 people/km sq as is now stated.

I think that GDP per capita and similar per capita statistics are not updated. 130.92.211.116 (talk) 14:57, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. M.Bitton (talk) 14:52, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Total area re-measurement[edit]

According to the most recent re-measurement, the country's total area published by the State Statistical Office is 25,436 km2, which is somewhat lower than the previously measured 25,713 km2. This should be changed in the article's infobox and the first sentence of the Geography section. Thanks.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 07:16, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Macedinia is 25,713km2[edit]

Who updated this shit? 77.29.143.51 (talk) 12:40, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a reliable source to back up this figure? –LaundryPizza03 (d) 04:18, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind, I found that the figure in the article was unsourced and contradicted both the CIA World Factbook and UN Stats. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 04:30, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@LaundryPizza03: Please take a look at this. Thank you.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 16:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't the difference between 25,713 and 25,436 simply the difference between total area and total land area? A difference of almost 300 km² is too much to be just a technical effect of diverging measuring techniques, but it's a plausible figure for the total water area (lakes). My understanding is that our infobox should typically contain the total area, i.e. the larger figure (with the water area given in percent in the next line).

No, the figure of 25,436 km2 denotes the total surface area, which includes both land and water. There’s even a time series of the total surface area measured at different points of time where you can notice that the previous fugure was 25,713 km2.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 19:59, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, that's odd. Honestly, I'd be inclined to assume that this is an error on the part of the Makstat website. 277 km² is too big of an area to just "vanish" between one measurement and the next - that's as if you had clipped off a strip of about half a kilometer's width along the edges of the country, along all the length of its borders. It's not as if cartography wasn't advanced enough to allow for measurements much more exact and realiable until just two years ago. On the other hand, the difference corresponds exactly with the figure of 1.1% of water surface that we are still citing to World Factbook – indeed, World Factbook is explicitly giving 25,433 as the land area, almost exactly the same figure as the newly claimed total surface area of 25,436. I'd say it's an easy enough slipup to make, and much easier to explain as such than as an actual change in measurements. Fut.Perf. 08:25, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
