Disambiguation pages
Please note that disambiguation pages like VVG are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:
- Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
- Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
- Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
- Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
- Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
- Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory
Virtural Valley Games isn't mentioned in any article, so it doesn't belong on the disambiguation, Leschnei (talk) 23:57, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Flag of French Guiana
Please stop inserting the flag of France as though it were the flag that specifically represents French Guiana. The flag of France is the flag of France. When it flies, nobody thinks, "There's the flag of French Guiana." When an international French athletic team bears the French flag, it's because they're French, not because they're from French Guiana. In fact, it's unlikely that anyone on the team is from French Guiana.
The point of an infobox is to list information specific to the article's topic. There is no principle that if a topic doesn't have an attribute that the infobox has a space for, then it should be filled with the corresponding attribute of something related. It shouldn't be. It's misleading. If the place doesn't have a particular attribute, then leave the corresponding entry empty. If a place has no motto, then you don't fill in the motto
parameter with the parent country's motto. If a place has no nickname, then you don't fill in the nickname
parameter with the parent country's nickname. The same goes for the flag. Largoplazo (talk) 01:51, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
Mongol Empire
The flag you keep adding to the Mongol Empire article is marked as fiction, they are not known to have had some official flag. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 02:49, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- Shut up! It’s not fiction. Colton2022 (talk) 12:45, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- Do not tell your fellow editors to "shut up", this is inappropriate behaviour that may render you unwelcome on this platform! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 23:42, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
