Bulgaria has never had one in its 1300 year history - why is it yellow?

Canada has a female Head of State (Queen Elizabeth), but the Head of Government is PM Harper, so it has the wrong shade. Stidmatt (talk) 02:28, 25 October 2011 (UTC) Michelle Jean is no longer Governor General of Canada, and if this proports to exclude monarchs, than neither the PM nor the GG are women and canada —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.40.198 (talk) 02:32, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

needs update for brazil, and possibly other south american countries - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-11447598 - CandyCaneGirl (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:28, 1 November 2010 (UTC).

Brazil shouldn't be in yellow, but light orange, since the President of Brazil is both the head of State and head of government —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.250.55.66 (talk) 00:27, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Dilma Rousseff

The map is actually wrong. The President of Brazil (such as the President of Argentina) acts as both head of state and head of government and, thus, Brazil should be painted orange instead of yellow. --Rodrigogomesonetwo (talk) 02:53, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Serbia

1- Nataša Mićić has been acting president of Serbia and Montenegro from 2002 to 2004 and the color on the map used for Serbia is wrong, heads of state should be coloured in dark orange.

2- Maybe Serbia shouldn't be coloured at all because Mićić served as acting president when the place was still part of Serbia and Montenegro —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.69.2.171 (talk) 18:38, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Why is Serbia marked that it had a female head of government? That is factually wrong. Actually all the countries of former Yugoslavia have had a female head of government (3rd such in Europe, Milka Planinc). Mujanovic (talk) 11:09, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Actually its the former Yugoslavia which had a female head of government and maybe a mini-map at the corner of the larger one should be depicted to show the situation in countries which don't exist anymore (Milka Planinc head of government in the FSR of Yugoslavia and Sabine Bergmann-Pohl head of state in the GDR.) Serbia should not be coloured in yellow because Natasha Michich has been the acting president of Serbia proper when the country was part of the FR of Yugoslavia and not of the sovereign independent nation of Yugoslavia, let's say she was acting head of state of the federal subject of Serbia inside the FR of Yugoslavia (which then became known as Serbia and Montenegro)

Mali and Kosovo

Someone should add Mali and Kosovo to the map. --78.70.52.31 19:28, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Do you have a source for that? Magog the Ogre (talk) 23:06, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Mali's new prime minister:

And Kosovo's recently appointed President:

I did a google search only, so I'm not sure of the sources credibility. But they seem to be independent media outlets. -- 78.70.52.31 12:06, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Is that a head of government, head of state, or both, for each one? I don't know a thing about those nations. Magog the Ogre (talk) 02:26, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Both countries have seperate head of governments and head of states. So a head of government for Mali and a head of state for Kosovo. At least according to wiki. -- 78.70.52.31 19:43, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

It looks like I already got it, last year. Somehow I managed to figure out the answer on my own. Magog the Ogre (talk) 06:58, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Guinea-Bissau

Guinea-Bissau's color on the map should be changed to a lighter orange because Adiato Djalo Nandinga is the current acting pm and the country has also had a female president, so females on both posts, head of state and of government... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.171.153.130 (talk • contribs) 09:31, 24 March 2012‎ (UTC)

w:Adiato Djaló Nandigna. I suppose we should be counting interim PMs and presidents then? Magog the Ogre (talk) 15:02, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Given how quickly PM's turn over in some countries, I doubt there would be much harm in it. Even some of the women presidents were only in office for a matter of months. The map basically just shows where there's been precedent; there is no qualification by %age to be accepted. Kwamikagami (talk) 05:35, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

But on the map we already have The Bahamas and Mongolia in light orange and in both countries both the female heads of state (except for Ivy Dumont in the Bahamas which served a full term as Governer-General) and heads of government have served ad interim... -- 16:29, 31 March 2012‎ 31.171.153.130

4th color

I would like to leave orange as the color for countries which have a combined position for head of state+govt, and add a 4th for countries which have elected both a head of state *and* a head of govt. Any suggestions as to which color would be iconically appropriate? (I chose red, not sure it's balanced with the others.) Kwamikagami (talk) 16:32, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't like that idea at all. Many countries don't even have a separate role for each, so they're presumably never able to achieve red, and it's unnecessarily confusing to the reader. Magog the Ogre (talk) 23:51, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Map full of mistakes

1. - Serbia and Mauritius should be changed to dark orange, both countries actually have acting female Presidents (thus only female heads of state)
2. - Guinea-Bissau should be changed to light orange as Adiato Djalo Nandigna is the current acting PM (thus both a female head of state and government)
3. - Malawi should be changed to light orange because in Malawi the President is simultaneously head of state and head of government

Could anyone change the map please? -- 16:40, 4 April 2012‎ User:Ecad93

Added Mauritius, corrected Malawi.

Serbia and Bissau are correct: both have had both (Serbia back when it was called Yugoslavia). Kwamikagami (talk) 18:33, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

@Kwamikagami I know I'm replying to a 10 year old post, but Serbia was not called Yugoslavia. It was one of its six constituent republics on equal footing. Therefore, crediting solely Serbia for for a SFR Yugoslav head of state is factually wrong, even more so considering Milka Planinc was a Croatian politician. Either all ex-Yugoslav states should be marked with red, or none, imo. -Vipz (talk) 00:35, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Feel free to fix it. I'm in no condition to. Also, this map isn't being used, and is probably out of date in other things as well. Kwamikagami (talk) 04:06, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
