Map of Wikimedia Europe
editDear Maciej, I noticed that on the map of Wikimedia Europe, Wikimedia Hungary is shown as a member of Wikimedia Europe, but not as a founding member. In fact, Wikimedia Hungary was a founding member. Could you please correct the map? Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this change. Thank you. Kind regards, Samat (talk) 11:58, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
