Have you tried the Advanced options in your Recent changes user preferences settings? It requires a modern browser to work and is disabled by default.

Unlike the normal "recent changes" page, these options can summarize edits to the same page and let you dynamically expand and collapse the list items. For multiple edits to the same page, it also provides a single "changes" link which will show you a view of the differences (diffs) between these combined edits and the last non-recent revision.

After changing the Advanced options, the "Recent changes" list takes effect immediately and can be reversed by unchecking any option.

Latvian Opinion polls

Factum as far as I know haven't published their latest polls yet (as of 5th of august, 2019). Please provide source for the poll or delete it.--OskarsC (talk) 17:59, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Tautastribunals

Hi, it does not appear that the Tautastribunals is independantly notable outside of its founder (at least not according to the sources cited), so I've redirected the page to Linards Grantiņš and added a mention of it there (could be expanded there, perhaps as a subsection). A note about sourcing, we cannot link to posts on the page itself to demonstrate the page's hatred, we have to reflect what secondary sources have said about the site, anything else is considered original research. We can also not use descriptors for it unless secondary sources have used those. If newspapers have discussed the site's call for the death penalty of Valdis Dombrovskis then we can mention it. – Thjarkur (talk) 21:04, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

February 2022

Your recent editing history at Latvia shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
