Missing Croatian Wiki Loves Earth landing page

Hi Fraxinus, In the list of countries you indicated that a Wikipedia article is the landing page for people who click on the banner. I am sorry, but a Wikipedia article can never be the landing page, as the landing page should contain instructions how to participate, something that never should be in an article. There are three possibilities for a landing page: an external website, or a page like Commons:Wiki Loves Earth 2020 in Croatia but then in Croatian, or a project page on Wikipedia like on w:hr:Wikipedija:Wiki voli Zemlju. Until such page is available in Croatian, the photo contest cannot start. Please let me know when the landing page is ready! Thanks! Romaine (talk) 21:29, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2023 in Croatia

Hello Fraxinus, On the list of participating countries you are listed as the organiser of Wiki Loves Monuments 2023 in Croatia that is supposed to start at 1 September. Looking at Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2023/Landing pages, I see there is no landing page yet for Croatia. If there is no landing page, the contest cannot start in your country. If you are still looking for a good design, have a look at this example or this one, and see this page for instructions what you need to put on the landing page. Please add your landing page to the list of landing pages. If there is no landing page available for Croatia at midnight, Wiki Loves Monuments in Croatia will be postponed or cancelled. Greetings - Romaine (talk) 07:17, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

I have added now w:hr:Wikipedija:Wiki voli spomenike as landing page, I hope that is okay? Romaine (talk) 14:43, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
