EEZ map

Can the "The extent of Costa Rica's western EEZ in the Pacific" map be removed? It's hardly important (the EEZ or the figure is mentioned nowhere in the article) and the map is in French and centered over a French island. Not to mention it only covers the Pacific coast.

That’s stated in the Spanish Main article. And it’s a fact that it’s not well known. OlavAndersenTWCR (talk) 04:55, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Goalcy undid an update of data.

Hi, em user Goalcy undid my edition of 12 July 2021 when I updated the religious affiliation data with this years' numbers then keeping the incorrect and outdated data of three years ago. He requests me to discussed first in the talk page. Not sure what is to be discussed tho. The source is exactly the same; the University of Costa Rica polling center CIEP, the only different between the two editions is that mine gives the date of 2021 and his keeps the data of 2018. I'm unsure if someone really prefers to keep wrong outdated data but if that's the case, well feel free to argue here why. I personally think the date in the table should be the most updated one. No reason to choose data from 2018 over data from 2021 IMHO. --Dereck Camacho (talk) 07:58, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
