File:Diplomatic relations of Timor-Leste.svg

Hello Semsûrî! What is your source for this map? I found at least two mistakes. Serbia has no diplomatic relations to TL, because of Kosovo and the DR Kongo established DR in 7 November 2006 Greetings, --JPF (talk) 19:13, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

@J. Patrick Fischer: Hello. Most countries should be covered by these sites[1][2] and furthermore news online about the country establishing diplomatic relations. The map is not completed but a work in progress and I usually add countries if I can find a reference supporting the existence of diplomatic relations. Regarding Serbia, I used this as reference which states relations were established on October 11th, 2012 Hope it was useful. --Semsûrî (talk) 19:31, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, I will have a look. I am working on articles about the bilateral relations of Timor-Leste. You can have overview here. References in the articles are in English. I just checked a few countries. Mistakes are Serbia, Kosovo, Guinea-Bissau, DR Kongo, Lebanon. Thank you for your work. --JPF (talk) 19:38, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

I'll check these countries. Regarding this 'Congo' at UN Digital Library[3], it is the Republic of Congo, since DRC goes under its full name there[4]. So the country TL established relations with in 2006 was the Republic of Congo which was marked on the map. --Semsûrî (talk) 19:42, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

---

@J. Patrick Fischer: I have added Guinea-Bissau, Lebanon and Equatorial Guinea now. I'm moreover tempted to add Sao Tome and Principe, Togo and Cape Verde as well since the PM went there on official visits. Any thoughts?[5] --Semsûrî (talk) 20:07, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

So far, I know only about Serbia (they wanted to established, but then refused after TL accepted Kosovo), Moldova and Guatemala, they didn't established DR. Moldova planed it for 2018. I do not know, if it finally happen. All CPLP members are having DR with TL and I guess, all g7+, too. All further informations are collected and published in de:Außenpolitik Osttimors. The de:Liste der diplomatischen Vertretungen in Osttimor shows all countries, which are having ambassadors, giving their credential letter to TL. Still informations of several countries are missing. --JPF (talk) 20:28, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Morocco-Algeria

Your diplomatic-relation world maps are good work. On the most recent Morocco file, Algeria was removed completely, I hope this didn't happen in reality... ;-D
Something else: Should all these maps be categorized within the world-maps tree, for example in a new category here? --Enyavar (talk) 17:27, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

I don't really have an opinion on the categorization so whatever suits. I'll fix the Algeria disappearance now, thanks for the heads up. --Semsûrî (talk) 17:30, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Nigeria - East Timor

Hello Semsûrî! Little update for File:Diplomatic relations of Timor-Leste.svg. Nigeria has diplomatic relations with East Timor since 2004 [6]. Greetings, --JPF (talk) 12:08, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

@J. Patrick Fischer: Now we have a number (82) + Timor only established diplomatic relations with Kosovo yesterday. [7] Semsûrî (talk) 10:18, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Update request

Hello.

In File:Diplomatic relations of Ukraine.svg, can you color Russia in gray? Today, Ukraine cut off diplomatic relations with Russia.

Yours sincerely, Multituberculata (talk) 14:19, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Done. --Semsûrî (talk) 14:21, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you very much. --Multituberculata (talk) 14:26, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello. One last request: In File:Diplomatic relations of Iran.svg and File:Diplomatic relations of Yemen.svg, can you also color Iran in gray? The internationally recognized government of Yemen, which has a seat at the United Nations, broke off diplomatic relations with Iran in 2015. Iran only has relations with the Houthi movement, which is not internationally recognized, and is designated a terrorist organization by some countries, including Yemen. Here is a source: https://www.chinadailyasia.com/asia/2015-10/02/content_15324287.html --Multituberculata (talk) 14:58, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Done as well. --Semsûrî (talk) 15:01, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you very much and all the best. --Multituberculata (talk) 15:03, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Correction request

Hello.

In File:US and Russian bases and facilities.jpg, can you color Azerbaijan in white? Azerbaijan never hosted a US military base or US troops.

Can you also color Georgia in blue? Georgia does not host a US military base or US troops. It only has Russian military bases in breakaway Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

Yours sincerely, Multituberculata (talk) 14:22, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I can't help with jpg or png files. Only svg. --Semsûrî (talk) 14:22, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

I understand. --Multituberculata (talk) 14:27, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

please make an svg file.

@Semsûrî Hello! i am here to request you for creating File:Diplomatic relations of Syria.svg, as it doesn't exists, (or what ever may be the reason). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Utkarsh555 (talk • contribs) 11:07, 2 March 2022 (UTC) It would be very nice of you. Thanks!

Utkarsh555 (talk) 11:08, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Its in the making and I’ll probably upload it soon. Though not fully done. Semsûrî (talk) 12:09, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Foreign Relations of Argentina

Hi Semsûrî, great work with these maps. I believe the Foreign Relations of Argentina map has as an error in leaving out Nicaragua. According to the article, the two countries have mutual embassies. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 98.113.148.63 (talk) 01:20, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Update request for Albania and Iran

Hello.

Can you remove Iran from File:Diplomatic relations of Albania.svg and Albania from File:Diplomatic relations of Iran.svg? Albania has cut diplomatic relations with Iran on 7 September 2022 today.

Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/albania-cuts-iran-ties-orders-diplomats-go-after-cyber-attack-pm-says-2022-09-07/

Yours sincerely, 31.200.14.54 14:53, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the updates. 31.200.14.54 15:33, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Danish embassy in Rome

Hi! I was scrolling the archives and saw your old request for a picture of the Danish embassy in Rome. I have a picture of it in my Flickr, but its pretty dark. It's all I have, so I hope it's better than nothing. Feel free to transfer the image: https://www.flickr.com/photos/198380435@N08/53129627716/ MilesRemmel (talk) 16:06, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for the very useful image! I'll upload it for use on Wikipedia. Semsûrî (talk) 16:17, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Clean up request for Burundi and Singapore

Hello Mr. Semsuri.

I would like to point out errors in the svg files of Diplomatic relations of Burundi and Singapore.

For Burundi, Trinidad and Tobago and El Salvador are back to being grey for some reason. Can you please clean it up because it feels weird seeing those two nations being grey again?

For Singapore, Qatar is still grey even though they both have established diplomatic relations on 24 November 1984. Can you please make Qatar blue in the svg file on Diplomatic relations of Singapore? Underdwarf58 (talk) 22:38, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Update request for Comoros, Central African Republic and UAE

Hello again and my apologies for requesting a second time.

1. In the diplomatic relations of Sweden file, you added the Comoros because of this reference which is now dead: https://www.habarizacomores.com/2014/02/lambassadeur-du-royaume-de-suede.html Can you please add Sweden in the diplomatic relations of the Comoros file for the same reason?

2. According to a tweet by an official, Sweden has established diplomatic relations with all 193 UN Member states (some dates unknown). The CAR file still has Sweden grey, so please make Sweden blue. The tweet: https://twitter.com/carlbildt/status/251777270543433730

3. You edited the foreign relations of North Korea page by saying that the UAE did not suspend diplomatic relations with them according to this website: https://www.arabnews.com/node/1176981/amp And for some reason, North Korea is still grey in the diplomatic relations of the UAE file. Can you please fix this?

Thank you in advance. Underdwarf58 (talk) 23:59, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Update request for Benin and East Timor

Hello again Mr. Semsuri. Requesting in the file's talk page didn't work so I had to request here for a third time. Benin and East Timor have established diplomatic relations recently:

https://x.com/NunesKarlito/status/1711775681778987429?s=20

Please update both svg files asap. Thank you in advance. Underdwarf58 (talk) 14:11, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. Will update. Semsûrî (talk) 14:14, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

No problem ;) Underdwarf58 (talk) 14:15, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello again. I think it's better for me to request two things here instead of adding another topic.

1. The svg file for Palestine's (State of Palestine) diplomatic relations has a tiny error. For some reason the Vatican City (Holy See) isn't blue even though they have recognized and established diplomatic relations with Palestine. Can you please update the file? Here is the source in case:

https://www.timesofisrael.com/vatican-recognizes-state-of-palestine-in-new-treaty/

2. (This doesn't have to be done immediately though) The São Tomé and Príncipe svg file is severely outdated as M.Bitton's work is incomplete. Can you please update the file anytime soon?

Once again, thank you in advance. Underdwarf58 (talk) 05:29, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello again Mr. Semsuri, I would like to request clean-ups for some svg files as I pointed out errors:

1. The svg file for the Diplomatic relations of Fiji has Fiji upside down. Is it possible to fix this? If so, please fix it asap.

2. The svg file for the Diplomatic relations of Tuvalu has the Vatican City (Holy See) in blue despite not having diplomatic relations yet. Can you please make the Holy See grey momentraily until they establish bilateral relations?

Once again, thank you in advance. Underdwarf58 (talk) 23:20, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

I forgot to mention this in the last request but can you also remove Vietnam in the svg files for Tuvalu and Malawi? Thank you in advance. Underdwarf58 (talk) 09:18, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello again. This isn't a request you would expect from me, but I feel like you might be interested in doing so. If you don't know, there is this YouTube channel called "Geography Now!" where the host, Paul "Barbs" Barbato, covers UN member states alphabetically (except the Eswatini episode uploaded after Malaysia's) by its Political and Physical Geography, Demographics and Friendzone. Would you mind if you make an svg file about the countries that the channel has covered based on the diplomatic relations svg file template and put it on the Geography Now Wikipedia page? (The countries he has already covered are blue and those he hasn't are grey, and if possible, make the Holy See, Kosovo, Palestine, Taiwan and the SADR red). As of right now, the latest country Barbs has covered is Uzbekistan. If you're interested, thank you in advance. If you're not, that's okay and we'll just stick to diplomatic relations. Underdwarf58 (talk) 06:26, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

I'll take a look when I have time. Semsûrî (talk) 16:02, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

alright. I forgot to put "asap" in the request but okay Underdwarf58 (talk) 16:05, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Here you go File:Geography Now.svg Semsûrî (talk) 16:23, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks a lot Underdwarf58 (talk) 23:42, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello again Mr. Semsuri, I would like to request two things for today:

1. Considering that a date for Palestine establishing diplomatic relations with South Sudan is found moments ago, please make both Palestine and the SADR blue again in File:Diplomatic Relations of South Sudan.svg as the previous cleanup only had UN member states blue.

2. In File:Diplomatic Relations of Bhutan.svg, Mornington Island is still grey. Can you please fix the file anytime soon?

Thank you in advance. :) Underdwarf58 (talk) 10:06, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Done. Semsûrî (talk) 22:43, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello again Mr. Semsuri, I would like to request two things for today:

1. In File:Diplomatic Relations of Guyana.svg, Vietnam is placed in an odd position so the border with Cambodia and Laos has small spaces in some parts. Can you maybe fix that anytime soon?

2. Like the Geography Now thing, I feel like you might be interested in doing this request. There is this treaty called the "Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia". The Wikipedia page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Amity_and_Cooperation_in_Southeast_Asia and in the "Parties" section, there is a list of countries that have joined said treaty and what year they joined in. Would you mind if you make an svg file about the countries listed there based on the diplomatic relations svg file template? (Highlight Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand as red because they joined first, but don't highlight the EU as blue).

Thank you in advance. :) Underdwarf58 (talk) 06:32, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

So how about my second request mister? Are you not interested in making it or you simply don't have time? If either, sorry to bother you. Underdwarf58 (talk) 23:32, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

I'm going to limit myself to the diplomatic relations files for now. You can try and request such map at the graphics lab. Semsûrî (talk) 09:57, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Alright, you do what you do and I respect that. Underdwarf58 (talk) 10:03, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Excuse me mr, Geography Now has done the Vanuatu episode. Would you mind updating the svg file? Underdwarf58 (talk) 11:50, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello again Mr. Semsuri. This isn't a request but rather a question. What application do you use to edit your diplomatic relations (and Geography Now) svg files? Because I tried making a file with File:BlankMap-World-Sovereign_Nations.svg but I can't seem to get the dimensions (1,104 × 566) right. Underdwarf58 (talk) 13:09, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi. I use Inkscape and would download the file by clicking on the 'download' tab above the image and then choose 'Full resolution'. Thereafter you just right click and choose 'save as'. Hope it helped. Semsûrî (talk) 15:43, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks a lot mr. Underdwarf58 (talk) 15:44, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

One last thing. Can you maybe update the files for Belarus and Kenya? The State of Palestine maintains diplomatic relations with Belarus even though no date has been found (check the list on wikipedia in case). Lastly, Palestine maintains an embassy in Nairobi like they do in Prague. Again, no dates are confirmed for the establishment of diplomatic relations between Palestine and Belarus or Kenya, but would you mind adding it for the reasons above? If so, thank you in advance. Underdwarf58 (talk) 13:59, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Sorry mr, I forgot to mention this but for some reason, The Gambia isn't blue in Armenia's file. Could you please edit it as a minor request from me? Thanks Underdwarf58 (talk) 15:30, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello again mr. Sorry to burst your bubble but you might want to add Kiribati and Tuvalu to Armenia's file as you already did in their respective files as well as me putting it on the new list. Thank you in advance. Underdwarf58 (talk) 12:34, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello again mr. I would like to remind you that Malawi and San Marino established diplomatic relations last month. Could you please add them in their respective svg files? Thank you in advance. Underdwarf58 (talk) 14:48, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello again mr. Sorry to interrupt, can you please add Gabon to File:Diplomatic relations of Bangladesh.svg and vice versa? Recently a refernce is found that they had since 1976. Thank you in advance. Underdwarf58 (talk) 22:57, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Oh and I almost forgot. Can you also add Qatar to File:Diplomatic relations of Ireland.svg? Thank you in advance Underdwarf58 (talk) 23:47, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello again mr. May I request edit access for File:Geography Now.svg so that you don't have to do the work for it? Thank you in advance. Underdwarf58 (talk) 23:19, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Sure, but I'm not sure how I can give you access to edit. Semsûrî (talk) 15:02, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello again mr. May I request three things for today?

1. Can you readd Saint Kitts and Nevis back to File:Diplomatic relations of Zimbabwe.svg? Because one of the edits removed it again yet it is on the Wikipedia list.

2. Can you add Oman to File:Diplomatic relations of Kosovo.svg? I found a website saying that they had established diplomatic relations as they recognized it on 4 February 2011.

3. Can you also add São Tomé and Príncipe to File:Diplomatic relations of Chad.svg since you already did it to the other? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Underdwarf58 (talk • contribs) 01:15, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you in advance. Underdwarf58 (talk) 00:41, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

The Oman-Kosovo reference you've used is from 2011 but this one is from 2018[8] which is why I removed Kosovo and Oman from the two maps respectively. Semsûrî (talk) 09:47, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello again mr. I only have one single suggestion for you. Can you please add Kenya and Palestine to File:Diplomatic relations of Guinea-Bissau.svg? I've added them and references into the list. Thank you in advance. Underdwarf58 (talk) 00:10, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello mr. I'd like to suggest adding Sierra Leone to File:Diplomatic relations of South Sudan.svg. I have found evidence that they have established diplomatic relations: https://twitter.com/PresidentBio/status/1723428930944725093

Thank you in advance. Underdwarf58 (talk) 11:02, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

I don't know. I don't think a such a meeting means anything. It says: "...advancing both bilateral and diplomatic relations between our two countries" which makes me think they are now in the process of establishing diplomatic relations. Semsûrî (talk) 14:41, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

But the reference did say that they "enjoy a relationship built on a mutually beneficial partnership and we both pledged our commitment towards scaling up the partnership." so it technically counts Underdwarf58 (talk) 14:58, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Alright, I'll add it but I believe Sierra Leone should be moved to unknown at the en:Foreign relations of South Sudan page. Semsûrî (talk) 15:26, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello again mr. After researching, I found out that apparently, Monaco and Singapore have in fact established diplomatic relations with each other, but no date is given. I have evidence to prove my point:

https://www.mfa.gov.sg/Newsroom/Press-Statements-Transcripts-and-Photos/2014/11/MFA-Press-Statement-Visit-by-His-Serene-Highness-Prince-Albert-II-Sovereign-Prince-of-Monaco-7-to-9

https://en.gouv.mc/Policy-Practice/Monaco-Worldwide/Diplomacy-and-International-Presence/Map-of-Bilateral-Relations (Singapore is listed)

https://extendedmonaco.com/en/monaco-and-singapore-side-by-side/

Can you please readd Monaco to the File:Diplomatic relations of Singapore.svg and vice versa just because of the references above? If so, thank you in adnavce. Underdwarf58 (talk) 09:12, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

According to the Singaporean MFA, its only consular relations. You should try to find an ambassador presenting credentials which would signal diplomatic relations. Semsûrî (talk) 11:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

can you possibly add a reference to the "consular relations" that you mentioned mr? Because I can't find it anywhere. Underdwarf58 (talk) 11:20, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

The reference that covers most of list at en:Foreign relations of Singapore (ref 24, page 298). Semsûrî (talk) 11:21, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Sorry for misunderstanding Underdwarf58 (talk) 11:23, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Can you add Vietnam at Geography Now because Geography Now Vietnam was released yesterday. Thanks. ClareWhiteBoat (talk) 18:22, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

I did that immediately after the episode got released, but thanks for the reminder Underdwarf58 (talk) 23:29, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

For request for Egypt after 2023

Restored diplomatic-relations with Egypt in dec 2023 95.18.140.251 22:10, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

More recent articles confirm that diplomatic relations have not yet been restablished.[9] Semsûrî (talk) 13:21, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
