newzealandhawaiiHow does one get edits without being allowed to edit?
You edit articles that aren't protected, Namibia for example.
Or you can post your edit in the talk page and ask for permission to make that edit.
Why is Alaska a separate country?
They seceded due to Trump's policies.
JK. I don't know what colour Alaska is.
Whelp time to fuck with people's understanding of Laos
The island nation of Laos, often called the eighth continent due to its vast size, is noted for its rodents of unusual size, as well as being uninhabited until its discovery by Gilligan, the Skipper too, the Millionaire and his wife, the Movie Star, and the rest
Dorothy Wilde holds the honor of being a hero of Laos after she, modeling herself after her hero Lord Byron, died fighting for Laotian independence.
Honestly shocked germany is not red
I'm curious how Austria managed to wind up more locked down than Germany or France. Like, I'm more likely to fuck with Austria's Wikipedia page, but thats because I think people may not notice so long as I don't go into Australia jokes. Just make up a king, tell an amusing anecdote about him and his wife from the Great Horde. Maybe imagine a few hapsburgs that feel eerily targaryn. Hell make up an anecdote about a head of state confusin them for Australia. This shit might go unnoticed long enough to wind up in a middle schooler's country report.
Ok I may have found out why it's red
I get many of the red countries, but what's so controversial about Egypt?
I guess the liberation against Mubarak, the short Mursi presidency and the following Sisi regime must have caused quite an editing stir.
Someone wrote an entire book just on the egyptian revolution wikipedia page and how it shows the technocratic culture of wikipedia and different voices and perspectives get promoted whilst other marginalised.
