 Notes:
 
-* The function generates a [Point](https://postgis.net/docs/ST_MakePoint.html) based on the longitude and latitude values provided in the parameters.
+* The function generates a [Point](https://postgis.net/docs/ST_Point.html) based on the longitude and latitude values provided in the parameters.
 * The `ne.countries` table is filtered based on whether the point [intersects](https://postgis.net/docs/ST_Intersects.html) a country polygon.
 * It's possible that a point lies exactly on the boundary between two countries. Both country records will be included in the query result set, but `LIMIT 1` restricts the result to a single record.
