Updated Commonwealth of Independent States maps

Hi Oirattas, I don't have the permission either. You have to talk with Emilfaro. I have the files already made if you need them. Kind regards. Lector d Wiki (talk) 06:32, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Lector d Wiki. Thank you for the reply. In Commons:Overwriting existing files/Requests, I have asked for a permission for the update of the two maps and this permission has been granted. You can check it in that page. Emilfaro has not been active in Wikimedia Commons since 2011, that is why I asked you, as the one who last updated the map, after seeing you being active. Unfortunately, I have zero knowledge on SVG files. That is why I asked you. Can you update the two maps? Oirattas (talk) 23:22, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello again. I uploaded: File:CIS members.svg and File:CIS EEC.svg. Download the files and update the originals, then I'll request the deletion of both files. Regards! Lector d Wiki (talk) 08:42, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Nevermind. I've been able to do it myself. It's updated. Greetings. Lector d Wiki (talk) 08:47, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much for both updates. Strange as it is, the Ukraine is indeed an observer of the CIS EEC, but not of the CIS itself. Oirattas (talk) 16:21, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Ukraine is still on summer time

Hello. I saw you requested changes to maps of time zone for Ukraine. I suggest not doing that for the time being, since according to the source you linked in those requests ( https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/ukraine-dst-vote-2024.html ) Ukraine is still on summer time for another two months. It is first next year (2025) that they MIGHT not have summer time any more, if that law goes through. So I recommend waiting until after the current summer time has passed and after that law has fully passed. See also discussion at Wikipedia en:Talk:Time in Europe#Wrong map.

Renamings

Hi Oirattas, please notice for your renamings, this discussion. Αλεξανδρούπολη Alexandroupoli [1] is the correct writing. Ἀλεξανδρούπολις is the old Katharevousa-writing. Also Traianopoli. Regards Dbebaw (talk) 08:25, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
