Bogus citations[edit]

"American citizens are eligible for a ten-year, multiple-entry tourist visa" may be true, but the article that was cited does NOT say so. I changed it to something more relevant. 伟思礼 (talk) 06:24, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly, I deleted a citation from Monaco that had absolutely nothing to say about visa requirements for any country. 伟思礼 (talk) 19:38, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the prior reference on Monaco's "visa not required" said nothing about visa requirements. I found a better citation, but if someone else knows one even better, please edit. 伟思礼 (talk) 19:53, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. State Department not a primary source[edit]

The U.S. State Department was wrong on the length of stay in Belize, so I corrected the number and changed the citation to an actual Belize government site. Might be worth checking whether similar errors are on other countries. Also, Timatic is a secondary source, but in this case, it apparently redirects to the primary source. 伟思礼 (talk) 17:51, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The color coded visa map is one of the worst I’ve ever seen[edit]

The shades of green are way too similar making the map practically useless. 2A02:8388:1840:1200:DCEF:46D4:C85B:4DAA (talk) 08:48, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia article about Timatic is NOT a source.[edit]

I see that several entries in the table cite a Wikipedia article about Timatic while the pop-up makes it appear they actually cite Timatic. I followed the link and found that the page has no mention of Mozambique, so I replaced that reference with a better one. Recommend similar edits for many other countries. 伟思礼 (talk) 02:19, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
