File talk:World Eastern Orthodox population.png

I have a problem with this map for these reasons

• According to the map there's 0-1% orthodox in Egypt, but according to the lowest estimates christians in egypt are 6% which are mostly orthodox!
• According to the map there's 5-25% orthdox in Lebanon, orthodox in Lebanon makes 5% of christians in lebanon, christians in lebanon according to the highest estimates are half the population!

which makes me ask about the sources which have been used in this map! thank you --Proud coptic (talk) 15:39, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

The map represents Eastern Orthodox. Copts, Syriacs and Armenians belong to Oriental Orthodoxy which is different. Rafy talk 02:56, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Confusing title?

Judging from the map, it appears that the colors denote the percentage of each country's population that is Orthodox. The term "World Orthodox Population," however, implies to me that the colors show what percentage of all Eastern Orthodox Christians live in that country. For example, Greece is evidently in the 90-100 color bracket. I think it's intended to show that 90-100% of Greece's population is Eastern Orthodox, but from the title, it would suggest that 90-100% of all Eastern Orthodox Christians live in Greece. Am I making too big a deal out of this? I imagine most people quickly understand what the different colors denote, but maybe a change in title to "Orthodox Representation by Country" might clear things up.

Africa

Cant find any sources that claim a relatively high percentage of eastern Orthodoxes in central Africa. Can someone explain please. Rafy talk 02:57, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
