Update request

Hello.

Can you add Bulgaria in File:Countries which banned Russian aircraft from their airspace due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.svg? Bulgaria has also banned Russian aircraft from entering its airspace.

Alright, @Useddenim. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 15:21, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Discussion with Snowie81

Its not nice to delete other peoples stuff it was for my sandbox — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snowie81 (talk • contribs) 02:29, 22 April 2022‎ (UTC)

@Snowie81: Wikimedia Commons has a scope: in summary, it's for hosting educational content. The files you uploaded were not educational. You then proceeded to insult my on my user talk page, so I removed the insult. You are now blanking the deletion discussion. Please stop. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 02:31, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

I never marked them as EDUCATIONAL DUMBY — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snowie81 (talk • contribs) 02:32, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

@Snowie81, Commons is only for educational files. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 02:35, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Well Wikipedia sent me to commons to upload the files :| Snowie81 (talk) 02:36, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Commons litterly is the only place to upload files wikipedia dosent upload them. Snowie81 (talk) 02:38, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

And i think you should know that wikipedia does that Snowie81 (talk) 02:40, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

@Snowie81, Both Wikipedia and Commons are educational projects. Neither project allows the content you are uploading. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 02:40, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

"Sandbox" Snowie81 (talk) 02:41, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Sandboxs are for practicing Snowie81 (talk) 02:41, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Ive never worked with wikipedia before Snowie81 (talk) 02:41, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a web host. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 02:42, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Dude have you never used SANDBOX Snowie81 (talk) 02:43, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Sandbox is litterly marked as for practice Snowie81 (talk) 02:43, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

I have my own sandbox on Wikipedia: w:en:User:Tol/sandbox. Please see w:en:Wikipedia:User pages#What may I have in my user pages?. User sandboxes are for testing, drafts, and other content for building an encyclopedia, not for hosting whatever you want. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 02:44, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

I wasent hosting what i wanted :| Snowie81 (talk) 02:45, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

And sandboxs aint even public so whats the problem? Snowie81 (talk) 02:46, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

@Snowie81, please read Wikipedia:User pages#What may I not have in my user pages?. Specifically, user pages may not contain "Writings, information, discussions, and activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals". Information on fictional countries is not related to Wikipedia's goals. Sandboxes are very much public; all pages on Wikipedia are viewable by anyone. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 02:47, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Information on fictional countries is not related to Wikipedia's goals. Oh, really? Useddenim (talk) 00:33, 23 April 2022 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

@Useddenim, sigh... well, those fictional countries are (ostensibly) covered by reliable sources. At least, they hopefully are. I should have been more specific: information on non-notable fictional countries that were apparently just made up is not appropriate for Wikipedia.

Well then ive been lied to- Snowie81 (talk) 02:47, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Update request for File:Mutually closed airspace 20220301.svg

Hello.

Although it is partially recognized (but recognized by most of Europe), can you also show Kosovo in File:Mutually closed airspace 20220301.svg? Its airspace is also closed to flights into and from Russia as stated in the source: https://www.euronews.com/travel/2022/02/24/ukraine-travel-all-the-airlines-and-countries-that-have-been-affected-so-far

I wrote to the original uploader many weeks ago, but has been inactive for weeks now. Can you update this map by including Kosovo?

Yours sincerely, 31.200.10.182 08:20, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

It looks like Viewsridge has already done this. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 16:26, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
