HDI in 2021

I've noticed that the HDI was tagged with an "increase" from its previous state. That's not right. In 2020 it was 0.821, dropping to 0.809 in 2021. Check out UPND data for deeper insight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2800:A4:14EF:C00:7156:E04A:2D52:E084 (talk) 15:12, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's correct, HDI has gone down from 2020 to 2021. I noticed edits to correct this but then I saw that it was reverted to "increase". I believe the correct thing in this case is "decrease". I also noticed that the ref has been updated -- thanks. Ocampoernesto (talk) 16:17, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong information in the Religion part of the Infobox

Please pay attention, that total summary of the percentage in the Religion part of the Infobox is more than 100% (60.8% + 40.1% + 1.2% = 102.1%), which is incorrect. Qaraqalpaqpan (talk) 03:01, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Capital cities

There is mention it's the 3rd most south city and listed Wellington and Canberra. There are other state capital in Australia that are further south, such as Melbourne, Hobart, Perth. Canberra is further north. Should this be limited to "nations capitals?". It isn't restricted to such at the moment though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.150.32.104 (talk) 01:09, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
