Breakdown by country out of date?

Given the change in how Fortune has Shell flagged, I went to the list to check whether it's counted as British. The count for the UK differs from the CNNMoney (Fortune) website to the list here. Where are these numbers coming from, or do we need to re-tally the latest listings? —C.Fred (talk) 19:40, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

I rechecked the date this evening; everything was in order except the UK and Netherlands, as a result of joint-flagged companies, and South Korea. —C.Fred (talk) 01:07, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

If there are bugs in the online source, to where South Korea's numbers are distorted, how can we trust the numbers for any other company? Do we have a reliable source for South Korea having 14 other than a screenshot of questionable provenance? —C.Fred (talk) 16:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
