On the WikiProject Countries talk page, the section Location Maps for European countries had shown new maps created by David Liuzzo, that are available for the countries of the European continent, and for countries of the European Union exist in two versions. From November 16, 2006 till January 31, 2007, a poll had tried to find a consensus for usage of 'old' or of which and where 'new' version maps. Please note that since January 1, 2007 all new maps became updated by David Liuzzo (including a world locator, enlarged cut-out for small countries) and as of February 4, 2007 the restricted licence that had jeopardized their availability on Wikimedia Commons, became more free. At its closing, 25 people had spoken in favor of either of the two presented usages of new versions but neither version had reached a consensus (12 and 13), and 18 had preferred old maps.
As this outcome cannot justify reverting of new maps that had become used for some countries, seconds before February 5, 2007 a survey started that will be closed soon at February 20, 2007 23:59:59. It should establish two things:

• whether the new style maps may be applied as soon as some might become available for countries outside the European continent (or such to depend on future discussions),
• which new version (with of without indicating the entire European Union by a separate shade) should be applied for which countries.

 Not done: All of these groups are already mentioned in the article. Tollens (talk) 09:50, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which areas of Norway's economy has no state regulations? The article says a prosperous capitalist welfare state, it features a combination of free market activity and large state ownership in certain key sectors

There is well sourced data about the welfare state but not about areas of free market (supposing there is any of relevance)

Also, the line prosperous capitalist welfare state, should the word capitalist be there? 186.22.17.160 (talk) 11:23, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's a typo in the "later modern period" section. At the end of the section, it's written "bourgeosie" instead of "bourgeoisie". 213.3.1.7 (talk) 08:25, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be "bourgeois" instead of "bourgeoisie", since the former is the adjective and the latter is the noun, so that's what I've changed it to. Let me know if I'm wrong. Liu1126 (talk) 10:27, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@213.3.1.7 here. Thanks for the correction. I found examples of both forms in dictionnaries. Here is an example of the "Bourgeoisie class" form.

But now that I think about it more, it looks like the intended orthograph is "bourgeoise class" as it only requires to switch two letters ; it seems like the best form to me. Triximix12 (talk) 09:59, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, using "bourgeoisie" as a noun adjunct is probably also grammatically correct. In the source text (The Civil War in Switzerland by Frederick Engels) Engles just used the word "bourgeoisie" independently as a noun. Since this sentence is a paraphrase and not a quote, I personally don't think the exact orthography matters much. I'm going on a wikibreak after today so I probably won't be able to read your reply, but feel free to reopen this request or open a new one if you think it's necessary, so others can weigh in.
