Bogus citations[edit]

"American citizens are eligible for a ten-year, multiple-entry tourist visa" may be true, but the article that was cited does NOT say so. I changed it to something more relevant. 伟思礼 (talk) 06:24, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly, I deleted a citation from Monaco that had absolutely nothing to say about visa requirements for any country. 伟思礼 (talk) 19:38, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the prior reference on Monaco's "visa not required" said nothing about visa requirements. I found a better citation, but if someone else knows one even better, please edit. 伟思礼 (talk) 19:53, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The color coded visa map is one of the worst I’ve ever seen[edit]

The shades of green are way too similar making the map practically useless. 2A02:8388:1840:1200:DCEF:46D4:C85B:4DAA (talk) 08:48, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia article about Timatic is NOT a source.[edit]

I see that several entries in the table cite a Wikipedia article about Timatic while the pop-up makes it appear they actually cite Timatic. I followed the link and found that the page has no mention of Mozambique, so I replaced that reference with a better one. Recommend similar edits for many other countries. 伟思礼 (talk) 02:19, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Similar for the dozens of citations to "International Air Transport Association (IATA), Travel Information Manual" which does not mention the visa requirements of any country. Isn't there policy that Wikipedia shouldn't cite itself as the source? 伟思礼 (talk) 05:44, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Passport ranking misleading at best.[edit]

Both passport rankings provide misleading rankings. In the 2024 Henley rankings, 23 countries are ahead of USA, making USA tied for 24th (not sixth) with four others. 伟思礼 (talk) 02:08, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I realize they mention "dense ranking" but it's still misleading. Unless someone actually goes there, it give the false impression that there are only six countries with more freedom. 伟思礼 (talk) 05:46, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
