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)

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)

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

(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)

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

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

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

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)

Misplaced Pages is edited by individual people and not by governments or international organizations. In addition, everything is based on sources so Latvia's and Estonia's pages can list whatever they want. I would also like to point out that this is not the first time that you changed the geographic location against the consensus. Furthermore, Lithuania is neither eastern or northern European country. This kind of division (eastern or northern) is based purely on personal preference. I already wrote above that there is a note about the division in the first sentence of the page so please look through sources in it before proceeding to waste everyone's time. – sbaio 20:08, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

And the page must focus on facts, because the Baltic countries are geographically emphasized as Northern European states. Estonia and Latvia, both countries, also have disputes about whether they belong in Eastern or Northern Europe, but they decided - Northern in their wiki page. It makes zero sense to not display Lithuania as Northern European when other Baltics states are displayed as so. MatasLife (talk) 20:19, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

@MatasLife @Sbaio Honestly by this point maybe we should just make a compromise and call it a Northeastern European country or something. -- Shadow of the Starlit Sky 20:50, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
