The convention wrt. using "tt" around the codes makes the tables look much neater, aligning the columns. The other alternative would be to use HTML tables, but they are really a pain to read/maintain as wiki-source. User:Egil 09:47 Feb 3, 2003 (UTC)
what about combining http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1 with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_capitals_in_native_languages
or adding native country names to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1 ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zyron ( talk • contribs) 13:01, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Dear Tangerines, Thank you for explaining the change to my contribution. I do have a question though, I'm hoping you can answer for me - the link I provided is to a publicly available database, a majority of the information is free to the public and relevant to the Wikipedia topic, so does it not qualify as appropriate subject matter to be included? Also I see another entry along similar lines just above my entry, which continues to remain in the topic. Thank you for taking the time to educate me on this.

what about explaining the uses and purposes of granting a ISO 3166 code? from the outside it seems a completely superfluous activity. 192.87.141.135 ( talk) 11:14, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
How did Iceland get "is" and not "ic"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robinrobin ( talk • contribs) 18:39, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
There is an ongoing dicussion at
User talk:LiliCharlie#ISO 3166-1 and Taiwan about disputes concerning ISO 3166 codes relating to Taiwan, especially disputes over the name for Taiwan and the way it is subdivided: TW-KIN
and TW-LIE
are not the PRC's taste, and CN-TW
not to that of the ROC. Everyone is invited to join that discussion.
