Thanks for the help, I didn't see it.

Hello, I got your message, I was aware of the errors in Alaska, but I suppose that, now that you have brought them up, I might as well fix them.

1) They are referring to the portion of Falls Church that is within Fairfax County, as is described in the article you cited. As of yet, the state website has yet to report a case for Falls Church City. Colonial Heights had its first case reported today on the state website, so I already have it on my current version. As for the Apostle Islands, I'll admit I didn't see them. Thank you. Jerome501 (talk) 23:48, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

My bad on Falls Church. On Alaska, Prince of Wales–Hyder is now correct but the majority of Ketchikan Gateway is now incorrectly blank – see map of the borough here [1]. Sladnick (talk) 17:28, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:December 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh map.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

2021 national electoral calendar

Hi, would you be able to add the Somaliland parliamentary elections to the map. They are direct elections that are held separately from the Somalia elections that happen to be during the same year. Right now in the map Somaliland is under Somalia's elections which are indirect and not taking place in Somaliland. Thanks if your able to help. Subayerboombastic (talk) 18:52, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Subayerboombastic Somaliland is included, but the map does not include hard borders for unrecognized states so it is hard to tell. I am getting a new computer by the end of the month and can add a border in then to make it clear. But my understanding was that Somalia's parliamentary election is supposed to be a direct election this year. Is that not correct? Sladnick (talk) 01:34, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, I think adding a border would make it much clearer. In regards to Somalia, originally the plan was to have universal suffrage for these elections. However the national electoral commission announced in August 2020 that it would not be possible to hold a direct election with out delaying it. After negotiations with the federal states it was decided that indirect elections would be held instead. I will like a UN article to corroborates me. https://www.un.org/press/en/2020/sc14362.doc.htm Subayerboombastic (talk) 03:52, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the info. I will add in the border as soon as possible, in about a week. Sladnick (talk) 04:39, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
