Location maps available for infoboxes of European countries[edit]
As this outcome cannot justify reverting of new maps that had become used for some countries, seconds before February 5, 2007 a survey started that will be closed soon at February 20, 2007 23:59:59. It should establish two things:
- whether the new style maps may be applied as soon as some might become available for countries outside the European continent (or such to depend on future discussions),
- which new version (with of without indicating the entire European Union by a separate shade) should be applied for which countries.
There mustnot be 'oppose' votes; if none of the options would be appreciated, you could vote for the option you might with some effort find least difficult to live with - rather like elections only allowing to vote for one of several candidates. Obviously, you are most welcome to leave a brief argumentation with your vote. Kind regards. — SomeHuman 00:25, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Republic of Iceland[edit]
Y'all are pedantic and wrong. Iceland has two official long-form names: The Republic of Iceland and Iceland. Iceland has one 'official' short-form name. The Republic of Iceland is as much a formal name of the country as Iceland. This can be confirmed by the treaties Iceland signs and by current usage by its government. I don't know why you keep having this fight. Like Argentina, it is a country with more than one long-form name. 72.12.108.35 (talk) 23:59, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
