File:Lorenz curve of Denmark, Hungary, and Namibia.png
[edit]Hi Mrgann,
I would like to hear if you still have the original spreadsheet for this graph?
Right now it shows areas, not curves, and therefore the legend is not correct either. This could confuse non-experts about what a Lorenz curve really is, and Wikipedia/Wikimedia is all about informing non-experts. So I would like to correct the graph so it actually shows the four Lorenz curves, also making the legend more true.
Correcting it in the PNG file would be rather difficult and time consuming. I would also prefer not to create the whole thing from the beginning, as only a small change in the original is needed to correct it.
Also, for future updates, it would be helpful for others to have the original spreadsheet to quickly make a more up to date version when new data becomes available.
So, if you have the original spreadsheet file and would care to upload it, I would be very thankful. --Jhertel (talk) 15:25, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
