Corrections
Every correction to a published figure, newest first: what was wrong, how far it reached and what replaced it.
29 September 2026 · Latvian city wages were net figures shown as gross
Four Latvian cities, Rīga among them, showed the median monthly wage after tax from the Central Statistical Bureau of Latvia (2024) as their median gross salary: Rīga's €994 is a net figure. The four values were withdrawn, and those pages show no median salary until the gross figure is collected. Pages affected: 4. Source.
28 September 2026 · Australian cities showed another place's census
The 2016 codes of the Australian statistical areas had been joined to the 2021 census tables, so Sydney showed the figures of St Georges Basin and Tamworth those of Sydney. 3,473 values were joined again to the right area, 318 census tables on the pages were rebuilt and 53 page texts were rewritten.
27 September 2026 · Population, area and density corrected
93 population, area and density values were corrected: 46 in Latvia, 29 in the United States, 16 in the United Kingdom, 11 in Germany, 6 in Italy, 4 in Czechia, 2 in Lithuania, 1 in Austria and 1 in Japan. Each new value is the official figure for the place itself; a figure for a larger area is not used for a town inside it.
24 September 2026 · City populations bound to the wrong area
Some city pages showed the population of a small statistical area or of a different place: Melbourne showed 16,985 instead of 4,874,520. The wrong values, 185 of them on 109 places, were withdrawn, and the populations of 24 Australian urban areas were replaced with the Australian Bureau of Statistics estimated resident population at 30 June 2021. The withdrawn values stay in each record's history with the reason.
24 September 2026 · Romanian unemployment figures renamed
The "unemployment rate" of 770 Romanian cities was the number of registered unemployed divided by the residents (765 cities) or by the residents aged 18 to 62 (5 cities), not by the labour force. The figures now carry their own name and are not compared with unemployment rates. Pages affected: 767.
18 September 2026 · Japanese municipalities published twice
720 Japanese municipalities were published twice, once under an international place register and once under the Japanese municipal code. Each keeps one page; the second address redirects to it. Pages affected: 720.
