I took note of Vedant's arrangement by alphabetical order. However, the list is in chronological order and after I checked the IMF source I noticed that the way it was arranged before appeared to be based on which country reached a trillion dollar economy first. Can someone else check this too? Nirvana888 ( talk) 22:05, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
There is absolutely no single source which states that it should be ranked according to Nominal, which seems to be how it's ranked right now. For example, the CIA states that South Korea joined the trillion dollar club in 2004 [1] but that's when it is measured using PPP. Either way, when measured using Nominal, South Korea joined the trillion dollar club in 2007 according to the IMF. [2] Clearly, when using the rank order by the year it joined this club, there is no need to remove South Korea just because it dipped slightly below the mark in 2008 because of the massive currency fluctuations. I suggest keeping both lists (at nominal AND PPP) unless you can find a source which states that the trillion dollar club is explicitly for Nominal ONLY.

South Korea is still not in the $1 trillion dollar club. In fact, its nominal GDP for 2009 went DOWN further than in 2008. Rockies77 ( talk) 17:57, 27 February 2010 (UTC)Rockies77 Rockies77 ( talk) 17:57, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
I saw the last remark stating that even if a countrie's output decreases, the nominal value can go from a billion to a trillion dollar economy. It goes without saying that this would be avoided if real data was used. If nobody disagrees and if I have enough time, I will include all countries that have a real gdp of over a trillion bucks.

Most of the EU entries are either not sourced, or in the cases where a reference is specified, no reference actually exists. The same can be said about a few other entries (East Germany). Additionally, taking the composite countries of the EU and compiling them into a new entry is a no-no per
WP:SYNTH. The sources needs to specifically reference the EU (or any other country) to merit inclusion.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Trillion dollar club's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 22:08, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Do we really need a section for every trillion? 16-19 trillion don't seem useful. ReidMoffat ( talk) 00:27, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
