- There were many errors in this article. While most non-aligned countries were third world, not all of the third world was non-aligned. Vietnam was a third world country, for example, as is North Korea. The term itself was faulty. In fact, when the USSR collapsed, one could say the many Soviet bloc countries were in essence third world.
- The Penguin citation, if that is indeed what the original text in Penguin says, should be removed. RobSGive Peace a Chance! 12:37, August 30, 2023 (EDT)
