US GDP share of world

Should the PPP-adjusted figure be used for 2023 [1]? Historically it wasn't always available, but for recent years PPP figures would be more accurate. CurryCity (talk) 01:06, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

I'd be fine with both, though with the current wording, unless otherwise stated, it clearly refers to nominal GDP, as it's a contextually relevant adjunction to "[...] the United States has had the largest nominal GDP in the world since 1890 [...]". I think it could disrupt the flow of reading if we'd switch from nominal to PPP-adjusted GDP all of a sudden, but it all depends on the exact phrasing if we wanted to change the sentence accordingly.-- Maxeto0910 (talk) 01:16, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Ok I'm going to add the PPP figure inside parentheses. For reference the start of the Economy section already refers to nominal (since 1890) and PPP (for 2023) figures. CurryCity (talk) 07:28, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Re linking names in photos - I think you are strictly applying editorial rules with no regard to readability, which must always come first. That's a shame, because Wikipedia is, first and foremost, a resource to be used. I won't revert again, but I think you are wrong on this point and I would encourage you to think about readers and how they use Wikipedia. Millstream3 (talk) 13:17, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia is indeed a resource ultimately made for readers, which is why we should always put the readers first and even ignore its rules when they prevent us from making Wikipedia as readable as possible. However, too many links disrupt the reading flow because it distracts from the essential links that are relevant to the average reader. Also, duplicate links in the same section also carry the risk that readers cannot be sure that the next link will lead to a new, not yet linked article (at least if we assume that they will read the section in one go), which leads to a lack of structure for chronological orientation.-- Maxeto0910 (talk) 16:51, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
