GFDL

Hello! I noticed that you just uploaded this great map File:Finnish military expeditions to areas of the former Russian Empire (East Karelia) in the years 1918-1922.svg and licensed it {{GFDL}}. GFDL is no longer accepted on Commons since 2018. Perhaps you could also add {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}} for example? MGA73 (talk) 13:39, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

File:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.svg

Dear @WikiForMen, I see that you regularly work on File:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.svg. If you have more work to do on that file and need to overwrite it, plz request Autopatrol at COM:RFR. I've revoked the ability for non-autopatrol users to overwrite that file because it is allowing some vandals to do so too. And that file is too important to let be vandalised. If you don't wish to apply for autopatrol or fail, you may ask me or any admin/patroller to temporarily allow you to overwrite that file. If I do so, I may revoke it after 24 hrs of granting. Thank you. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 14:02, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

@Shaan Sengupta: Noted. I don't have any further work planned.--WikiForMen (talk) 14:26, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

@WikiForMen, why have you added [?!??] in my message. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 14:47, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

@Shaan Sengupta: Because I do not know, that 'bcoz' means. 'plz' - by the way - in German means 'Postal code'. ;-) --WikiForMen (talk) 15:10, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

bcoz = because, plz = please. Just short forms which we use commonly in English language. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 15:52, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Update request 1

Hello, WikiForMen.

Can you update both File:2026 Lebanon War Map.svg and File:2026 Lebanon War Map (February-Present).svg?

Israel controls all Lebanese territory up to their designated "Forward Defense Line" ("Yellow Line").

Source:

https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2026/6/14/israel-expands-military-control-in-gaza-lebanon-and-syria-by-1000sq-km

Likewise, can you add the Israeli-occupied zone inside of Syria in both maps as well, for the abovementioned reasons?

Yours sincerely, Kurcke (talk) 22:25, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Update request 2

Hello, WikiForMen.

Can you remove the ceasefire line of the Donbass, because it became obsolete after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, in File:Eurobarometer states Autumn 2024 by EU membership status.svg, File:Ukraine Security Cooperation Agreements Europe.svg, File:Psilocybe medullosa distribution.svg and File:Empty map of Europe.svg? Can you also remove the other de facto borders, such as inside Moldova and Georgia, in these maps and in File:Map of Catalan Republic (claimed territory version).svg?

Yours sincerely, Kurcke (talk) 22:29, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Update request 3

Hello, WikiForMen.

Can you update File:Карта на страните, признаващи Гладомора за геноцид..png, like all the other Holodomor maps, by showing the recognition of the Holodomor by countries which are depicted in dark blue?

All the other maps about the Holodomor Genocide in Category:Maps of the world's international recognition of the Holodomor, have been updated except this one.

Yours sincerely, Kurcke (talk) 22:31, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
