OECD institutions and bodies
Is the long section on "OECD institutions and bodies" really neccessary?
Spelling
I'm from the United States and so this page might have been created in a different country, thereby leading to the question I have. In America, we spell Organization with a Z. If it's correct, then disregard my comment. Thanks

- The OECD has an official policy, which says this organization uses British English. Therefore, also this article uses British spelling of "organisation" and "co-operation" instead of "organization" and "cooperation". Please see also archived discussion about this topic.

To clarify this, organization is spelled with a 'z' in British English (see the wikipedia page on -ize), but the OECD seems to have modelled the spelling of its name on the French -ise endings (its headquarters are in Paris). Marthiemoo (talk) 16:11, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Books published
This article mentions that OECD publishes 300 to 500 books per year, but in the article about OECDsource it mentions 250 books per year. I don't know which one is right, but I just noticed it. Bye, Lalena (can't login) 192.85.60.20 (talk) 10:04, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
edits by IP 189.146.114.200
Anom user IP 189.146.114.200 continues to remove the map showing OECD members, acceding countries and enhanced engagement countries, claiming that 'no such classification, they are not member nor in a list of accession'. However, both group of countries were named by the OECD Ministerial Council in 2007. [1] Therefore, I will restore the map. Before removing it, please discuss it here at the talk page.

- Yep, map seems fine to me with that source and the Relations with non-members and enlargement section underneath clearly explaining everything. Shouldnt be removed BritishWatcher (talk) 17:17, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

- k, awesome. there aren't more of these? I dunno, American samoa? any other modern day colonies? maybe they're just not big enough to really show on the map. Skakkle (talk) 01:10, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Chile already included ?
In December 2009 Chile formaly received the full invitation/admission for the OECD. All pending concerns had been cleared before. How is the status, is Chile already a plain member now? --81.210.217.100 (talk) 18:41, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
