Hi there, you might raise these issues on the files' own talk page. I'll say that this is not a very accurate map when you zoom in (see Ireland and the UK and the lack of the Isle of Man or that there's no Malta, for example). As a locator map for the infobox, I'm not sure it needs to be, but Eritrea's border is something that could definitely be added. Before they were banned, the file was maintained by Ssolbergj, and the same base map is used on two other Europe/US locator maps too: NATO/EU and EU/US. So any fixes to one might be worth making to the others. But to that last question, yes, there is alternative, it looks like this, you'd just need to turn Russia gray.-- Patrick Neil, oѺ∞/Talk19:58, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As of today, October 1st, 2024, Mark Rutte has succeeded Jens Stoltenberg as Secretary General of NATO. During a ceremony at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Rutte was officially installed. Tdfokker (talk) 09:19, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose As blindlynx mentioned, WP:NCA says "acronyms should be used in a page name if the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation and that abbreviation is primarily associated with the subject" and gives the example of NASA. I think it has to do with language and four letter acronyms, like the article North Atlantic Treaty is spelled out, but "NATO" is correct here.-- Patrick Neil, oѺ∞/Talk20:31, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is a request from an IP with one edit, and even if made in good faith is obviously wasting editors' time. Requesting closure ASAP. CAVincent (talk) 08:52, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:NCA. The acronym NATO is used universally, no matter which the language use (except for French-speaking ones which use OTAN). Most secondary reliable sources and scholar refer use the acronym-only NATO. 103.111.100.82 (talk) 05:18, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well majority doesn't knows the full form of NATO. Many of them search it and remember it as NATO because many news channels and news papers all use NATO while speaking or writing.NATO should not be changed to North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Hi,
I think the map currently in the infobox deserves an update, so I created a new one with more accurate and up-to-date borders that aligns with the conventions on orthographic map projections, plus different colors indicating the territories of member states that aren't actually covered by the treaty (e.g., French Guiana). I also created another map to focus on the European member states, which I think deserves a spot on the infobox as well.
From L-R: Current orthographic map; proposed orthographic map; proposed new European locator map
Fabulous, thank you, those are great. The current map has some pretty atrocious cartographic issues. You can see in the topic above from September, I went into the SVG to fix deviations in the Iraqi border and add Eritrea, which had been somehow forgotten. As I mentioned then, zooming into it shows just how simplified it is, but even that degree of simplification on coastlines is inconsistent in different spots. So yes, I'll put both of those maps you made into the infobox with a switcher toggle. Patrick Neil, oѺ∞/Talk19:19, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
