Ethiopia’s population edit
The article for Ethiopia estimates its 2023 population as 127,955,823 (from https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ethiopia-population/#google_vignette). This article uses an estimate of 107,334,000 from the Ethiopian government. This is a pretty big discrepancy and if the larger number were used, it would put Ethiopia's population above that of Japan and the Philippines. Is there some way to pick a canonical estimate, for example one that is believed to be more accurate, and use that on all the articles? rdl381 (talk) 08:06, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Canada population edit
For Canada's population, I'd encourage you to use the quarterly population estimates published by Statistics Canada (https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1710000901). It's the most accurate and up-to-date estimate of Canada's population. It's also the source used on the wikipedia page dedicated to Canada. As of 2024 Q1, Canada's population is 40,769,890. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZeusMinerva25 (talk • contribs) 08:23, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Change San Marino population data source date from 29 February 2023 (which is incorrect according to the source and doesn't exist) to 29 February 2024. IntrospectiveSwallows (talk) 09:10, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
