American overseas military map graphic - Should be altered?
The graphic overstates the extend of American military hegemony. For instance, Brazil is colored - but there are only 27 military personnel stationed there, which is more of a diplomatic or training mission than a superpower projection.
I think the map should only highlight countries with at least 100, or 500, or 1000 stationed personnel.
I propose that Honduras, Brazil, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Bulgaria, Greece, Philippines, and Australia should not be colored on the map due to low personnel sizes based on the figures in the aforementioned report.
Unilateral edition
Someone edited the part about emerging superpowers and decided to delete informations about Brazil and the image showing potential superpowers was substituted without any discussion about it. Personal feelings are not determinants in Misplaced Pages, at least it shouldn’t be.
Merge proposal: Superpower Disengagement
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Following up on the merge of Superpower Collapse into Superpower, the topic of merging Superpower Disengagement into Superpower had support. This is a formal proposal of that. I believe some content from this page can be merged into the sections of superpower, and then a redirect created.

Merge proposal: Potential superpower
Following the merge of superpower collapse and superpower disengagement, I believe the page Potential superpower could be merged into superpower. I don't believe there is enough difference to justify the two distinct pages. Merging them would improve the main superpower page significantly. The content can be put into the existing section of the same name. GeogSage22:35, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Support. There's no reason to have two separate articles on basically the same subject. It dilutes editor efforts and results in lower quality articles. Thenightaway (talk) 23:18, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Oppose - Unless you're also suggesting large-scales reductions in detail the merged article is likely to be too long to be easily navigable. Rambling Rambler (talk) 13:15, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Comment- If the merge is accepted, I would encourage any editor to help boil down the merged section to remove redundant information and keep the page navigable. GeogSage02:20, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
A bot will list this discussion on the requested moves current discussions subpage within an hour of this tag being placed.

Please base arguments on article title policy, and keep discussion succinct and civil.
Support I was initially leaning oppose, but read through the Misplaced Pages: Disambiguation guidelines and agree this makes sense. Just to point out, there is also a page Superpower (horse), and Superpower (song). Looking at views for all of them, and it looks like while Superpower (politics) is the most widely viewed, the others do have fairly wide usage. Several pages link to Superpower right now, so those all would need to be fixed.
