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]

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.
