Map

The map would make a whole lot more sense with Australia centred. Is that allowed? Or is there a law that US/Europe must be centred on maps? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.13.144.174 (talk) 22:57, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

POV check

There seems to be a tug of war developing between bouncy enthusiasm in the first section (everybody wants to add their hometown), and sombre nit-picking in the second. The page is about a real thing, the "Pacific Rim" exists, but it has several faces; such as:

the physical geography entity, which also kind of overlaps with the geological "Ring of Fire"
the economics / marketing meme
the NGOs and IGOs that have emerged to exploit / develop 2.
possible social / demographic / anthropology systems arising out of relationships around the PR

Can the page be re-structured to highlight these different aspects? That could be a way to establish neutrality, to make it clear which of the various nuances of "Pacific Rim" we are talking about at each step. Swiveler (talk) 08:57, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More footnotes tag added

This article has an impressive bibliography that is useless due to the lack of inline citations. The one footnote cites About.com, which is not a reliable source, as it often mirrors past and present versions of Wikipedia. --momoricks ^talk 02:33, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Prim" Reference

What the hell is with the reference to "persons of a mixed background, with one half of their heritage originated from a country of the Pacific Rim." Sorry, but I'm throwing a bullshit flag on the play. Princess sarah5 - Put it up again sans reference and I will delete it again. Just because you think a term is clever doesn't give you the right to induct it into the English language via Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.116.30.194 (talk) 15:42, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should Belize be removed as it doesn't border the Pacific?

I just noticed this after a few years since and it bothers me. Belize is the only country that doesn't share a coastline on the Pacific Rim unless if you're talking about Belize from a geopolitical, economic pov, Maybe some more context given on why Belize is circled in blue? Zilzal3124 (talk)
