Correction to Madagascar's Ranking as Largest Country
Dear Editor,
I noticed a slight inaccuracy in the current description of Madagascar. While the statement mentions it as the "44th largest country in the world," the actual ranking is 46th.
Here's the corrected sentence:
Madagascar, officially the Republic of Madagascar, is an island country comprising the island of Madagascar and numerous smaller peripheral islands. Lying off the southeastern coast of Africa, it is the world's fourth largest island, the second-largest island country, and the 46th largest country in the world. [14]
I believe this edit ensures the information aligns with current geographical data.
Sources:
- [of countries and dependencies by area.] - Largest Countries in the World (by area).
Thank you for your time and consideration. Yelstine (talk) 21:46, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- The reference cited in the article supports the claim that it's the second largest island nation by area, but it doesn't support the other claims. The CIA World Factbook lists it at #49. So, yes, something needs to be cleaned up here. Mgnbar (talk) 22:19, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Madagascar is definitely not the 44th, the lead says it's the 44th, but the rest of the article itself cites 46th. I'm going to--for now--change this to 46th. 750h+ 01:47, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
