current	17:58, 19 January 2024	512 × 260 (645 KB)	Moalli	Recent Aruban census data showing less than 20% Spanish speakers is not neutral? This is literally fitting the map's legend
	03:26, 16 January 2024	512 × 260 (893 KB)	Salvabl	Reverted to version as of 01:35, 27 December 2023 (UTC) There is no consensus to remove Aruba. If we were to do this because there are less than 20% Spanish speakers, Mauritania should also be removed from the map of the French language; otherwise there would be a lack of neutrality. The appropriate thing to do in these cases where the language is sufficiently relevant even if it does not reach 20% of speakers is to mark the country with a dot.

	02:57, 24 December 2023	512 × 260 (893 KB)	Kwamikagami	rv to status-quo ante: Spanish is no more important in the Philippines than French is in Vietnam. The number of speakers is miniscule.

	06:12, 11 October 2023	2,532 × 1,284 (841 KB)	Moalli	Don't unilaterally highlight PH as it has been agreed upon that shading the entire country is misleading and that the current dot is a placeholder until other possible color schemes (if any) are agreed upon. The situation is similar to Czech Rep on German maps regarding cultural presence vs Louisiana on French map (where it's official to some degree).
	00:39, 9 October 2023	512 × 260 (891 KB)	Salvabl	Reverted to version as of 13:35, 17 August 2023 (UTC) On world language maps where there is a cultural presence, the entire territory is usually highlighted (as for example Louisiana or New Hampshire on the French language-related maps). Nevertheless, I think there may be other options (such as the use of dots) that would help the map gain accuracy, but this requires discussion, and reaching a common consensus, which does not exist in this case. The solution is not just to turn gray the entir...
	05:27, 18 August 2023	2,532 × 1,284 (841 KB)	Moalli	On world language maps where there is a cultural presence/influential minority, the standard has been to place a dot or square on the concerned country, usually on the largest city or capital. Highlighting it entirely when it's not used in administrative settings or as the secondary language is blatant misrepresentation and POV-esque. Please see discussion on proposals to accurately map PH, but do not highlight the whole country, as that is not accurate.
