Disambiguation link notification for September 10



Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of political parties in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan ↗, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages English ↗ and Persian ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 07:55, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Signing of the 2008 Doha Agreement by multiple Lebanese parties.jpg


64px|left|alt=|link= ↗
Thank you for uploading ''':File:Signing of the 2008 Doha Agreement by multiple Lebanese parties.jpg ↗'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content ↗. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline ↗ is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag ↗; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page ↗. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-disputed fair use rationale-notice --> Whpq (talk) 13:07, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

:Hello, and thank you for coming to my page. I have read the Non-free use criteria and decided that:
:{{xt|"To minimize legal exposure by limiting the amount of non-free content, using more narrowly defined criteria than apply under the fair use ↗ provisions in United States copyright law ↗"}} is in criteria since I have stated that I will only use the image in the 2008 Doha Agreement ↗ and 1-2 articles related to it.
:{{xt|"To facilitate the judicious use of non-free content to support the development of a high-quality encyclopedia"}} is also valid since I used the image as a way to show the agreement being signed for a educational purpose.
:'''<big>BUT!</big>'''
:I don't understand on what {{!xt|"To support Wikipedia's mission to produce perpetually free content ↗ for unlimited distribution, modification and application by all users in all media"}} suppose to mean (I guess if it meant to use the non-free image as a Placeholder for a free-image to come) because how can a usage of non-free files help Wikipedia's goal with free files?
:<br />
:<small>Postscript (the "ps" thing but formal): I have updated the Doha Agreement file to be more smaller in resolution due to your request, hopefully I solved the problem.
:</small>
:<br />
:Anyways, Toodles!
:GuesanLoyalist (talk) 01:56, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
::No, the image size is not the issue. You uploaded this image with a licensing statement that it is a logo. It is obviously not a logo. The stated purpose is "to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the entity in question." which it does not do. The use of non-free content ↗ on Wikipedia must meet all of the non-free content criteria ↗. This does not meet WP:NFCC#8 ↗ for the reason stated in the deletion request. -- Whpq (talk) 02:09, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
:::Oh sorry, I accidentally labeled it as a logo, I'll go fix it myself and update you about it
:::GuesanLoyalist (talk) 02:19, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
::::The logo is a small problem. The big problem is that there is no need for the image to be there for a reader to understand the topic. See point 8 of WP:NFCC ↗. -- Whpq (talk) 02:24, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
:::::so, safe to say that the image should be deleted?
:::::(fyi, I wouldn't mind if you delete it since it violates section 8 of WP:NFCC ↗, and In fact, agree with your nomination for deletion as it doesn't give much info to the reader other then "these group from lebanon are signing an agreement.")
:::::GuesanLoyalist (talk) 02:29, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
::::::As the uploader of the file, you can tag it with {{tl|db-author}} to request its deletion. -- Whpq (talk) 02:55, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

:Oh that? yeah I'm ok with you undoing my edit since all Wikipedians want what's best for Wikipedia (WP:BOLD ↗) but I think my edit was constructive to the Article related to Hani Kobeissy ↗ because It easily showed what category did Kobeissy belong in for the Sidebar of the Amal Movement ↗.

Your change to the Eureka Rebellion template



Hey there! I noticed you changed the Eureka Rebellion sidebar thing with the intent of making it look better for dark mode, but, sorry if this is a bit mean, it made it look worse (I originally thought it was glitched). It might be my school chromebook that's making it look like that for me, but I think it was better the way it was originally, as someone who uses both light and dark mode interchangeably. I reverted it because that was kind of a big change for something that wasn't discussed.

Thanks :) Bigcheese26 (talk) 18:56, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

:Hello and welcome to my page!
:<br />
:So, you changed the style of the sidebar to before I modified it to be more minimalistic? Well, I'm not mad at you (in fact, I appreciated how you came to my talk in order to notify me about your edit), but I do disagree/dislike your undoing of my restyling because:
:1. Like I said before in the edit note, It was an eyesore to look at due to the high flashyness of the colours.
:2. I couldn't read much as both the text and the background had the same colour.
:<br />
:Also, I think the reason why you thought that the sidebar was glitched was because you were used to the old version of it that when I changed it, you probably thought that Wikipedia wasn't properly loading it.
:<br />
:I would like to revert the said sidebar to be back to my version, but I'll make sure to ask that in the talk page if I should do it this time.
:<br />
:(btw, fellow Chromebook user, yayyy!!! :D)
:<br />
:GuesanLoyalist (talk) 02:59, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
::Turns out I was just using a different dark mode lol. The one I use just inverts the colors, so the original didn't look as bad for my dark mode as it looked with the dark mode you use.
::Anyways, after seeing how the original looked with the dark mode most people use, I talked to someone I know that is into the more technical side of Wikipedia. He fixed the problem for dark mode while keeping the light mode version the same. Bigcheese26 (talk) 03:26, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
:::Ah thanks for doing that, Bigcheese26, I really appreciate it from you.
:::<br />
:::I'll check the sidebar to see what it now looks like and I'll update you on what I now think of it so far.
:::<br />
:::GuesanLoyalist (talk) 04:09, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
:::Checked the new version of the template and although I still prefer my version of the sidebar, the current version seem like a great compromise between the both of us as I did originally commit the change as I couldn't see the text properly and that the sidebar was very bright. Then the technical guy that you mentioned then fixed it and I liked it.
:::and oh btw, Thanks for coming into my talk page to discuss this with me!
:::GuesanLoyalist (talk) 07:20, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
::::No problem! I'm just glad to see one of the rare people on this site that doesn't talk in an extremely condescending tone.
::::Anyways, goodbye. Bigcheese26 (talk) 14:30, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello and welcome to Wikipedia ↗. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia ↗ are appreciated, but a recent edit ↗ of yours to the page :1000 (number) ↗ has an edit summary ↗ that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate.

Some of your files are fake vector drawing



40px|left ↗40px|right|link= ↗

The following SVG ↗ images which you have uploaded are not vector drawings but embedded raster graphics ↗<sup>http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/struct.html#ImageElement ↗</sup> and are now listed in :Category:SVGs containing nothing but raster graphics ↗. Such images are liable to produce inferior results when scaled to different sizes. If appropriate, please replace the raster graphic with a vector graphic ↗ or upload the raster graphic as PNG, not SVG. In all cases, please do not take this message personally. It is never intended as such.


Thank you! Jonteemil (talk) 05:15, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hello @Jonteemil, and welcome to my talk page! At least according to my interpretation: I have uploaded some of those false SVG files?
:# Yeah, I did repost most of them as fake SVG when I felt more lazier to actual make said logos out of shapes. I have recently tried to make actual and proper SVG files, focusing on the quality rather then the quantity.
:# :File:Seal of the Iraqi National Intelligence Service.svg ↗ is an actual SVG file. The only reason on why it was classified as a raster image was due to the SVG file (if you download it) including the original reference image, so I wonder on if it's possible to still remove <nowiki>{{Fake SVG}}</nowiki> ↗ from the file as it is an actual SVG and could be potentially misleading towards unsuspecting viewers.
:But I am still glad that you contacted me about this. I plan to make more proper files of these if I can and I'll take your feedback on that one.
:GuesanLoyalist (talk) 06:42, 8 January 2026 (UTC)
::1. Your two most recent files are fake SVGs but the ones before are not. It's better to upload the raster as PNG if you don't find an SVG.
::2. You're right, that wasn't a fake SVG. There were raster graphics inside a <defs> element but they aren't displayes, it was only a rest from a PDF.
::Perfect, thank you. Jonteemil (talk) 07:00, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Electorcracy ↗

:Sorry for the rushed process of replacing the pngs with vector versions. I'll make sure to be careful and slower next time GuesanLoyalist (talk) 23:15, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

File:Logo of the Liberal Party of Australia.svg



Hi GuesanLoyalist. Perhaps you didn't notice, but a vector version of :File:Logo of the Liberal Party of Australia.svg ↗ already exists locally on Wikipedia as :File:Liberal Party of Australia logo.svg ↗, with the only real difference between the two being their file names. It looks like the other file was originally uploaded as non-free, but someone changed it's licensing somewhere in between your question at Commons VPC and you uploading your version of the file. There's really no need for two files showing the same logo to be hosted on English Wikipedia. Is there some reason why you replaced the other file with your upload in the main infobox of :Liberal Party of Australia ↗? While I'm sure you meant well, this kind of thing isn't really good practice because not only does it create a redundant file that will now need to be dealt with, but it can also lead to problems between Wikipedians because in a sense you're de-facto tagging a file uploaded by someone else for speeding deletion without any explanation why. If there's no real need to replace the other file with your version, you might want to consider self-reverting and tagging the file you uploaded with {{tlx|db-author}} per :WP:G7 ↗. For future reference, files often get uploaded as non-free content just because many user assume that all logos (regardless of their complexity) just need to be treated as such; however, there's nothing wrong with converting a file's licensing to something less restrictive if your confident that its too simple to be eligible for copyright protection. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:37, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

:Hello @Marchjuly, the reason on why I've uploaded another version of the logo was because of my personal belief that the file could be free, but only uploaded on wikipedia locally. Before this exact edit happened ↗ :File:Liberal Party of Australia logo.svg ↗ was classified as a non-free file, and that could be in violation of Policy ↗ which states that:
:<blockquote>'''No free equivalent.''' Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose.</blockquote>
:The nice people at commons told me that the file was free enough to be on commons, but still free enough that I could upload it on wikipedia. I was hoping that my new free file was going to be the permanent version of the logo and that the non-free file would be eventually deleted.
:And about this {{xt|While I'm sure you meant well, this kind of thing isn't really good practice because not only does it create a redundant file that will now need to be dealt with, but it can also lead to problems between Wikipedians because in a sense you're de-facto deleting someone else's work without any explanation why.}}, I do apologise for not being more detailed about why I replaced it in my edit summary.
:Would you prefer instead if I worked on the previous file but only upload another version of a file if it was considered impossible to do under certain circumistances?
:GuesanLoyalist (talk) 07:21, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
::Prior to earlier today, the other file was licensed as non-free content, but it had was also tagged with {{tlx|Maybe free media}} since January 2025, and it remained that way until earlier today. Someone then removed that tag and replaced it with {{tlx|Do not copy to Commons}}; that, in turn, lead the same user who added the "Maybe free media" last year coming back and relicensing the file as {{tlx|PD-ineligible-USonly}} with this edit ↗. My guess is that {{u|Jlwoodwa}} who added the "Maybe free media" template and then converted the file's licensing from non-free to PD wasn't aware that you were asking about the file at Commons VPC; moreover, the Commons users (including mysef) weren't aware of what Jlwoodwa had done either because Jlwoodwa hadn't done it yeat (most likely the case for the first two Commons users who responded) or didn't check things as carefully as they should've (which applies to me). Nobody really did anything intentionally wrong or was trying to mislead you, but the situation was fluid and had changed from the time you asked the question and the time you uploaded the file.{{pb}}Anyway, for future reference, a file's licensing can always be changed if there's a good reason to do so; there's no need to reupload essentially the same file (i.e., in the same format at the same resolution) under a different name if all that is needed is for its licensing to be changed. It's not uncommon for a file to be uploaded as non-free becausethe uploader doesn't know any better and wants to err on the side of caution. Since files aren't assessed or vetted prior to upload, they can often remain as originally licensed for a long period of time until someone, for whatever reason, notices them. My guess is that Jlwoodwa noticed this file for some reason back in January 2025 and then kind of forgot about it until they received a notification that the edit they made back then had been reverted. So, they checked the file again and converted its licensing to "PD-ineligible-USonly". Two of the same file aren't need by Wikipedia; so, one of the two should be tagged for speedy deletion per :WP:CSD#F1 ↗. My suggestion of you self-reverting and tagging your file for speedy deletion wasn't because you violated some policy or otherwise did something wrong, but only as way of showing good will towards Jlwoodwa and the original uploader of the file. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:55, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Category redirects



Hi, I noticed you created a redirect at :Category:Special forces units of Afghanistan ↗. For future, categories shouldn't be redirected the same way as articles. To create a redirect to a category, use Template:Category redirect ↗. Note that we generally create fewer redirects to categories compared to articles. The one you created is fine though and has been fixed to use the template. Cheers, Mclay1 (talk) 07:44, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

File:Logo of the Department of Education of South Australia.svg



Hi GuensanLoyalist. Did you by happen to take a look at :File:Logo of the Department of Education of South Australia.svg ↗ after you uploaded it? Its basically a logo in white text on a transparent background that is pretty much impossible for a reader (at least it is for me) to see either on the file's page or in the main infobox :Department for Education (South Australia) ↗. Moreover, the direct link ↗ you provided as the source look to be nothing more than a blank white page. Perhaps you saw something different at {{url|https://www.education.sa.gov.au/}} since there does seem to be a simple green and gray text logo of "Department of Education South Australia" being used there. Did something go wrong when uploading this file? Are you seeing something different on your end? What you've uploaded and what I'm seeing has pretty much no encyclopedic value for Wikipedia purposes. Perhaps the same logo can be found with a different color scheme or a different background. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:09, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

::"Did you by happen to take a look at :File:Logo of the Department of Education of South Australia.svg ↗ after you uploaded it?"
:Yeah I did so, that was the original state that I've found the logo in. As I live in south australia myself, I have usually seen the department of education logo either in white or in colored. I'll make sure to get a colored variant for that one.
::"the direct link you provided as the source look to be nothing more than a blank white page."
:If you right-click "view page source", copy the SVG code on https://editsvgcode.com, download the image, then go to https://photopea.com, import the image, add a black background of equal size, then drag it behind the logo in the layer section, you should be able to see the image then.
::"since there does seem to be a simple green and gray text logo of "Department of Education South Australia" being used there."
:I think that's supposed to be the UI navigation thingy rather then the actual logo? Have you tried to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see for yourself?
::"Did something go wrong when uploading this file? Are you seeing something different on your end?"
:Not really if I have to say, it was more with the logo being unable to be seen since the file is a white logo on a transparent background.
:Additional comment: I am pretty appreciative of you being polite and understanding of me on this error of mine, rest assured, I'll try to get this problem solved.
:GuesanLoyalist (talk) 02:48, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
::Thank you for going back and fixing this. The colored version is much better. The original version you uploaded might've actually look OK in :WP:DARKMODE ↗, but most readers are probably not going to be using that; so, generally all-white borderless text on a transparent or white background doesn't work very well because the default background most readers view Wikipedia in is also white. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:32, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
:::You're welcome on that one! Anything else that I might need to do? GuesanLoyalist (talk) 04:35, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
::::You can, for future reference, add the template {{tlx|Orfurrev}} to the tops of any non-free files you update because the now unused versions are eligible for speedy deletion per :WP:F5 ↗ as "orphaned non-free revisions". FWIW, there are bots that are tasked to look for such files, though, so it's not really a big deal if you don't. You might speed up the process by a day or two at most, but an added benefit of doing such things yourself is that it can be a way of gaining a deeper understanding of Wikipedia's non-free content use policy and why certain things end up being done. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:23, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
:::::Heard about <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Orfurrev<nowiki>}}</nowiki> ↗</code>, but didn't know that I could actually do it myself. Thanks! GuesanLoyalist (talk) 05:33, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Edit warring



30px|alt=Stop icon ↗ '''You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war ↗.''' This means that you are repeatedly reverting content back to how you think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree. Once it is known that there is a disagreement, users are expected to collaborate ↗ with others, avoid editing disruptively ↗, and try to reach a consensus ↗ – rather than repeatedly reverting the changes made by other users.

Important points to note:
# {{strong|Edit warring is disruptive behavior ↗ – regardless of how many reverts you have made;}}
# {{strong|Do not engage in edit warring – even if you believe that you are right.}}
You need to discuss the disagreement on the article's talk page ↗ and work towards a revision that represents consensus among everyone involved. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard ↗ or seek dispute resolution ↗ if discussions reach an impasse.

Outting



You recently restored a user page that had been blanked due to an outting concern. Please note that WP:OUTTING ↗ tells us that we should only post identifying information about an editor if they themselves have posted that information ''on Wikipedia'', and that the editor in question only has one edit on their record and it does not reveal personal information. That user page had never been edited by them, but was rather made of information out there by a series of third parties. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 15:03, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

:Blanking the page isn't a sufficient remedy in this case, as it's still visible in the revision history. If you truly believe it an outing violation, get it suppressed instead of blanking it. Feeglgeef (talk) 16:42, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

I don't think this ↗ works either, as there is still a mass of reference links, just now in the infobox rather than the references section.

I'm not sure why it needs six references, so one solution would be to delete five of them. However, the best solution (IMO) would be to delete two-state solution from the ideology section. It's not an ideology like liberalism or Zionism, it's a position/policy and I've no idea why it is listed there (it has been removed twice by myself and a different user but was reinstated by an IP and then a now-banned user). <span style="color: orange;">Number</span> <span style="color: green;">5</span><span style="color: blue;">7</span> ↗ 01:09, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

:{{xt|I'm not sure why it needs six references, so one solution would be to delete five of them.}}
:What about getting the most reliable source out of the 6 citations and using that instead, do you support it and all?
:{{xt|However, the best solution (IMO) would be to delete two-state solution from the ideology section. It's not an ideology like liberalism or Zionism, it's a position/policy and I've no idea why it is listed there}}
:Usually I wouldn't mind if it's being kept in the infobox or not, but I would say that keeping it would be a good idea. Mainly because it can show on what type of zionism they subscribe to (and also relevant to Israeli-Palestine conflict ↗ as it is a hot topic in Israel, I'm just guessing about it so prob wrong about it.) and differentiating from other hardline parties like Otzma Yehudit ↗.

Hey, I want to know your conseus that dp you want the article List of current Indian lieutenant governors and administrators ↗ to be merged to Governor (India) ↗ because I feel that List of current Indian lieutenant governors and administrators ↗ cannot stand up as an independent article.

Polish Senate colours


Hi! Recently you updated the colours on the 11th term of the Polish Senate ↗, overriding my version. Your colours are correct with the English political parties template ↗, and with the english language wikipedia page, but my colours were done with the Polish polical parties template ↗ and the Polish wikipedia page in mind. The two templates have differing colours, so by making the image correct on the English page, it became incorrect on the Polish page ↗. I'm quite new on wikipedia and wanted to ask what should be done in this case, to make both Polish and English pages correct.
PuntoQingdao (talk) 15:03, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

:Hmm, Uhhh, sorry about that lol. I wanted to match the colours of the polish senate with the english version but didn't really consider or care about Polish Wikipedia.
:As a compromise, I can think of both editors from the English and Polish version of Wikipedia cooperating on a universal colour change that would be uniform in both wikipedias. An RfC ↗ may or may not be need for that one though.
:For now, I'll revert my edit and we'll try to talk this out more. GuesanLoyalist (talk) 00:42, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
::I've looked at the colours on both English and Polish templates to see what are the differences, at least for the parties currently in the senate.
::The Left and PiS are the same on both wikipedias.
::KO is the main difference. From the discussion on KO's Polish wikipedia page I found out that the light blue {{colour|#00bfff}} was chosen because it is present in their campaigning, and before is was used by 2 main parties that merged into KO — PO and Nowoczesna. This change was only made 4 months ago, and before it KO used PO's colour {{colour|#f68f2d}}, but the editors decided that it's not representative of the whole coalition/party (also important to note that KO is both a coalition and a party). This change was never made to the English template, where KO still uses {{colour|#f68f2d}}.
::Both wikipedias agree that the colour of NP is {{colour|#003295}}. With Centrum, the English template has {{colour|#0b42a6}}, which is the left-most colour on the party's logo. The Polish template has {{colour|#2bb080}}, which is taken from the middle of the logo's gradient. Both wikipedias' templates don't have a colour for NP-C. The English wikipedia uses Centrum's {{colour|#0b42a6}}, while the Polish uses a blend between NP and Centrum, {{colour|#16718b}}. This is also the colour I used on my graphic.
::TD in Polish uses a blend of PSL and PL2050, {{colour|#96d544}}. In English it's {{colour|#3db53a}}, and I have no idea why's that.
::Those are my findings for now. There are probably even more differences in parties that are not in the senate. PuntoQingdao (talk) 19:56, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
:::I might consider making a WP:BOLD ↗ change of the colour of KO, PO, and TD. As well as any other party, I just need your recommendation to do so or not.
:::Also, would it be possible for you to use {{template|colour}} when displaying the colours as we further discuss this? I think this would be more better for the both of us (as we can see the colours that we talk about without the one of us having to search it up), for now I'm just going to edit your comment to feature the aforementioned template. GuesanLoyalist (talk) 23:08, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Okay, I've looked at the Sejm page too and compiled a list of inconsistent colours to change:
::::KO {{color|#f68f2d|#f68f2d}} to {{color|#00bfff|#00bfff}}
::::TD {{color|#3db53a|#3db53a}} to {{color#96d544|#96d544}}
::::Centrum {{color|#0b42a6|#0b42a6}} to {{color#2bb080|#2bb080}}
:::: ZSL ↗ {{color|#05764e|#05764e}} to {{color#a4ba45|#a4ba45}}
:::: NSZZ"S" ↗ {{color|#f89ab5|#f89ab5}} to {{color#f2f2f2|#f2f2f2}}
:::: KLD ↗ {{color|#007FB2|#007FB2}} to {{color#F0F0F0|#F0F0F0}}
:::: AWS ↗ {{color|#C1C1C1|#C1C1C1}} to {{color#8D3A37|#8D3A37}}
:::: PC ↗ {{color|#dd1d1a|#dd1d1a}} to {{color#000000|#000000}}
::::Christian National Union ↗ {{color|#06A7EE|#06A7EE}} to {{color#007FFF|#007FFF}}
:::: KPN ↗ {{color|#333300|#333300}} to {{color#480B0C|#480B0C}}
::::That's all the colours I'm sure should be changed. I also found a lot of colours that are not representative of the party in both English and Polish versions or colours that are correct only in the English version. I'll bring those cases up to the Polish template page first.
::::I've also noticed that English the Sejm ↗ page uses a different image, with the current English colours. After the colours are changed, this image will have to be replaced with the same used in the Polish version. The historical composition of the Sejm section on the Sejm page will also need fixing after the colour change to split PO from KO.
::::Sorry for not using Template:Colour ↗ earlier, as I said I'm pretty new to wikipedia and just wasn't aware that you could do that.
::::PuntoQingdao (talk) 16:19, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::{{xt|Sorry for not using Template:Colour earlier, as I said I'm pretty new to wikipedia and just wasn't aware that you could do that.}}
:::::Don't worry my friend, you can additionally use {{Template|Color box}} and anything else listed here: Template:Color_box#Variants ↗. I do also apologise for not replying to you sooner, I was busy with wanting to do other stuff. Try reaching a consensus for both the Polish and English Wikipedia.

The FIFTH year the St Petersburg congress is arranged after Russia scaled up the invasion of Ukraine



I see that you "corrected" the fact that this is the fifth year the St Petersburg conference is arranged after Russia scaled up the attack on Ukraine.

Let's do the counting together:<br>
Russia scaled up the invasion in February 2022.<br>
The conference in the summer of 2022 was the FIRST after that.<br>
The conference in the summer of 2023 was the SECOND after that.<br>
The conference in the summer of 2024 was the THIRD after that.<br>
The conference in the summer of 2025 was the FOURTH after that.<br>
The conference in the summer of 2026, i.e. now, is the FIFTH after that.<br>
OK? <br>
Can we agree that the current conference is the FIFTH? <br> Joreberg (talk) 14:12, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

:Alright, I can see that it's the fifth. Thank you for correcting me on that one. GuesanLoyalist (talk) 22:08, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
