Contradiction in article?

The image shows that the US was never a member, but the article explains that President Wilson won a nobel peace prize as the architect of the League. 2603:6011:5F39:969B:649B:1E6E:41CA:F3B7 (talk) 15:24, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's correct. See the Establishment section: "Despite Wilson's efforts to establish and promote the League, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in October 1919,[56] the United States never joined". Nikkimaria (talk) 03:42, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Map

I think the animated map should be on top of the infobox—frankly, the anachronous one isn't very informative and its key is awkward. Remsense聊 21:08, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. What do you think is improper about what's currently there? DrOrinScrivello (talk) 15:16, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
