Costa Rica[edit]
The index is only for current events, not historical events. As you can see, countries such as Germany and Japan did fairly well, though in world war 2 they were not peaceful at all. monocletophat123— Preceding undated comment added 19:50, 10 April 2011
Spain 29th and Argentina 69th ?[edit]
I can't believe these numbers reflect the real threath of terrorism in both countries. I, as an Argentinian, almost got arrested twice in Spain last year. Once for filming a subway access in Madrid. The second time for filming Vitoria-Gasteiz bus terminal. Nobody would be bothered by the police for these simple things in Argentina. The police officer at Vitoria told me that they were afraid of a Muslim attack. The officer himself looked more Muslim than Spaniard, and I look like a local (I'm of Basque ancestry).
Is it possible to set some form of edit-protection for this page?[edit]
From what I see, at least in the 2008-2019 table, countries & values are scrambled (check the bottom countries of the 2019 column, for example). Seeing the frequency with which people try to vandalise the page & the fact that the 2018 column is almost entirely inaccurate -- it could be that a lot of the table is actually wrong... When editing, there is a message about using a script for an easier retrieval of data, however I don't know if I'll be able (/figure out) how to use it.
I will try to check and correct some mistakes nonetheless, perhaps even update the table with the 2020 & 2021 reports, but it all seems pointless if the page just immediately gets scrambled. People come & mismatch country names from their proper corresponding rows, sometimes even changing ranks or values -- and it isn't always caught. Then, prob new people come & edit on top of those mistakes.
I don't think it's ok for this article to be left without editing restrictions.. Dhyana b (talk) 21:41, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
K pop made the change for the countries index?[edit]
Is there any officials sayings about the lasts changes here that put away Iceland from the top1 despite the text readings which shows a complete otherwise? Meanders2001 (talk) 19:17, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
Just a question[edit]
Should I remove the older ranks? Since yeah, there pretty much old Raldfan (talk) 11:46, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
