Area edit request

https://www.britannica.com/summary/Lithuania According to Britannica's information on Lithuania, it states that it covers 65,286 km² (25,207 sq mi) and not 65,300 km² (25,200 sq mi). Can you please fix this please? Locked Empire (talk) 17:28, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Demographics is nationalist nonsense

Poorly sourced at that. The Lithuanian people have been undisturbed since the neolithic period?

Lithuanian is indo European. The indo Europeans do not come from the baltics. 82.47.158.100 (talk) 11:31, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Topicon?

I noticed that although this page is semiprotected there is no gray lock topicon. -- Shadow of the Starlit Sky 06:06, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I added the missing topicon. -- Shadow of the Starlit Sky 19:31, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regions

(Pinging @Sbaio and @MatasLife)

Seems like there's a dispute about whether Lithuania should be considered a Northern European country or not...... Maybe we can discuss this issue here so hopefully we can build a WP:CONSENSUS and resolve the issue. I honestly don't care either way but I wanted to hear y'alls opinions on this thing. -- Shadow of the Starlit Sky 18:03, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There already is a consensus. There is even a note that explains the location issue. – sbaio 18:06, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you show me where the note is? -- Shadow of the Starlit Sky 18:07, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At the end of the first sentence you will see the ^[a] note.– sbaio 18:11, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Officially by UN as well Lithuanian government claims that they’re Northern European countries. If Latvia and Estonia are considered to be stated as Northern European countries in their wiki page even though all three countries are Baltic States then so should Lithuania be considered as Northern European. Especially that it’s agreed widely but international community that three Baltic states are part of Northern Europe. MatasLife (talk) 19:39, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
