Contradiction in article? edit

The image shows that the US was never a member, but the article explains that President Wilson won a nobel peace prize as the architect of the League. 2603:6011:5F39:969B:649B:1E6E:41CA:F3B7 (talk) 15:24, 9 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

That's correct. See the Establishment section: "Despite Wilson's efforts to establish and promote the League, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in October 1919,[56] the United States never joined". Nikkimaria (talk) 03:42, 10 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

I think the animated map should be on top of the infobox—frankly, the anachronous one isn't very informative and its key is awkward. Remsense聊 21:08, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
