CGAP

Would CGAP qualify as a World Bank training wing? They seem to be missing. I trtied to post the link but apparently the URL is registered on the blacklist. http://www.cgap.org/about TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 22:48, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stanley Fischer's Nationality

Should it say United States/Israel since he has dual citizenship? I don't edit Wikipedia articles often so I don't know what the standards are for this (nor for putting things on talk pages...) --Emetzold (talk) 20:15, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is not mandatory that both nationalities be listed, but it is allowed, so go ahead and add the other nationality, provided you can cite a reliable source for your change; if the article mentions the dual nationality and cites a source, you may cite the same source.--Quisqualis (talk) 22:05, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

History section not chronological

The history section is seemingly in a random order. Should it not be chronologically?

@Asabiyya: It looks chronological to me. 4 sections: 1944–1974, 1974–1980, 1980–1989, 1989–present, and as chronological as it can be within those sections. The only parts that stick out as odd to me are 1) the 1960 IDA formation. That comes in the middle of the preceding sentence's span, describing 1947-1968. I don't know if there's any better place to put that sentence. 2) McNamara's term as bank president from 1968-1981. This is used as an explanation for changes occurring in 1974. This could possibly be improved if you have a suggestion, but I don't think the present text is particularly confusing.
Is there something else you were thinking of? MarginalCost (talk) 16:01, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits

146.200.44.244, the recent edits being made are entirely style edits and removing unsourced content. Nothing is being "censored" in any "tyrannical" sense, merely making it look better and removing the statement about Saudi Arabia that hasn't been backed up by any source, and making the header read more neutrally. — ser!
