Warning: active arbitration remedies

The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. Parts of this article relate to the Arab–Israeli conflict, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing the parts of the page related to the contentious topic:

  • You must be logged-in and extended-confirmed to edit or discuss this topic on any page (except for making edit requests, provided they are not disruptive)
  • You may not make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any edits related to this topic

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

If it is unclear which parts of the page are related to this contentious topic, the content in question should be marked within the wiki text by an invisible comment. If no comment is present, please ask an administrator for assistance. If in doubt it is better to assume that the content is covered.

With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:

  • Clear vandalism of whatever origin may be reverted without restriction. Also, reverts made solely to enforce the extended confirmed restriction are not considered edit warring.
  • Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence.

Change "Denmark" to "Kingdom of Denmark" or "Danish Realm"

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change "Denmark" in the first column to "Kingdom of Denmark" or "Danish Realm", and change the link from https://en.wikipedia.org/Denmark to https://en.wikipedia.org/Danish_Realm. Denmark is a constituent country within the sovereign state of The Kingdom of Denmark/Danish Realm, but not a sovereign state itself. The page for Denmark states: "This article is about metropolitan Denmark. For the sovereign state, see Danish Realm. "

Also change the flag to the "Flag of the Kingdom" as seen here https://en.wikipedia.org/Flag_of_Denmark DREAMsolister (talk) 11:30, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: The short name for the state is "Denmark". The Misplaced Pages article titles are used to disambiguate between concepts. The state uses the standard flag in most cases. CMD (talk) 13:47, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
Alright, but I would still change the link to https://en.wikipedia.org/Danish_Realm as with the Netherlands it is https://en.wikipedia.org/Kingdom_of_the_Netherlands rather than https://en.wikipedia.org/Netherlands. DREAMsolister (talk) 06:16, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
