Isn't the term 'world fair', not 'world's fair'? 84.70.18.162 22:59, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What is the default currency denoted in the 'cost' column? Bastin 00:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't Expo 88 (Melbourne, Australia) be part of this list? --Ozzykhan 19:48, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Vis-a-vis Expo 88 as well, I'm concerned that this article is titled "world's expositions" but only lists "sanctioned world's expositions". Either this should be merged with List of world's fairs or it should be renamed something with BIE in the title. --Dhartung | Talk 21:49, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It seems like World's Fair has an apostrophe, but World Exposition usually does not. Compare 9,670 Google results for World's Exposition versus 448,000 Google results for World Exposition. Note also the title for the Expo 2005 page. I won't move the article, unless someone seconds that. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 05:21, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, so what to name it?

I am not sure of the distinction between the older article List of world's fairs and this article. Should they be merged, or a clearer differentiation made for the general reader? --mervyn 07:59, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In the list of world's fairs top explanation is written that the list includes BIE sanctioned events. In the list is included the 1922-1923 Brazil's Centennial International Exhibition. However, at the bottom of the article inside a blue box which contains a resume of events, this same exhibition is included as a non-sanctioned event. I am not sure which is the correct status of this exhibition, so I can not fix it by myself. User:Andrea — Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.234.89.223 (talk) 07:41, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wasn't the Atlanta Cotton States and International Exposition of 1895 a world's fair? This is where Booker T. Washington made his famous Atlanta Compromise speech. Dmoon1 19:26, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Currently one can barely see the year, because it's in smaller type then the other columns, plus surrounded by months. Since the exact dates of each exposition can also be found in the detailed articles, I propose to make the year normal size, remove the month, and place the whole column in first place. Anybody disagree? Peter S. 20:47, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This fair was not sanactioned by the BIE; but it appears on the list. Shouldn't it be removed? Jvsett 09:35, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Mr. Ken Jennings himself states that this list (which he relied on to his detriment) is missing many Expos that are listed at the BIE Web Site. BuddingJournalist 16:02, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why are some of the expositions (e.g. Brussels 1910) not linked? Wouldn't any world exposition inherently be notable enough for an article? - Jmabel | Talk 06:29, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The image Image:Expo88catologo.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

OMG. The dates are barely readable. 84.0.117.5 (talk) 04:27, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
One should really really really distinguish the world expos to the less prominent specialized expos. See link: http://www.bie-paris.org/site/en/expos/intro-to-expos.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.22.32 (talk) 01:13, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I only noticed Grenoble yesterday, but I don't think it's an exhibition. Looking at the BIE's own website it isn't listed, so it doesn't fit with the purpose of this page which is "[to list those] sanctioned by the Bureau of International Expositions (BIE), including those recognised retrospectively."
So - I'm removing it, but didn't feel the commnet section was long enough to explain why I was doing so.

Near the top of the article, a "Specialised Expo" is defined as "BIE-International Recognised exhibitions that take place between 2 World Expos and last up to 3 months."
Expo '88 (Brisbane) is listed as a Specialised Expo, but it was 6 months long. Either the classification of Expo 88 or the definition of a Specialised Expo must be wrong. Does anyone know how this works? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mark Whybird (talk • contribs) 08:02, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The EXPO will be in 2021 will be in Hatay (Antakya/Antioch the old City) in Turkey. You can research and check as "Expo 2021". This is also should be added to the planned Expo table. Bolmiyen (talk) 17:12, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
