"Stay safe" edits
[edit]Are you the IP user who has been contributing to articles in Belarus? If so, could you respond to the question I posed at the the discussion page for that user? I'll paste it here for convenience:
I'm concerned about copy-pasting Stay Safe information from the country article to individual regions. We prefer to have information that applies to the whole country only in the country article. Do you have a reason for putting it in so many oblasts? ARR8 (talk | contribs) 04:25, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hello! Belarus is a small country without much regional differences, so i thought it can be placed in regions too. Maybe im wrong. --Andrew J.Kurbiko (talk) 04:33, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- That seems like a good argument for not placing it in regions. It would be logical to put different "Stay safe" content in articles for different regions if there were a difference between them. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:01, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- Right. Having the information duplicated also makes it harder to change. @Andrew J.Kurbiko: I'm going to remove the copied information if that's okay with you. If you like, feel free to write about some safety information specific to those oblasts, if there is any. Thanks again for all the information you've been adding on Eastern Europe.
