Czech Republic's ratification
Please do not change to green until *after* the ratification has been confirmed as approved and a count is available. Hetsre (talk) 20:29, 26 August 2022 (UTC)


 * It is now confirmed, but the results and link seem to be about Sweden, not Finland. There were separate votings for each of the two countries.195.165.138.67 (talk) 04:10, 27 August 2022 (UTC)


 * The link is to vote no. 81 which is the actual vote on the consent to ratification of the Finland accession protocol, but it's incorrectly titled on psp.cz. I added another ref which confirms the vote results. Human. (talk) 13:19, 27 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Ok, a bit unexpected that there is a mistake on the chamber's website. :-D In fact, the mistake is not only on the website but it was at the very plenary session. The video recording of the whole session nr. 33 is here,and when the display on bottom right corner shows time 4:17 (which is at night) the chairman starts vote nr. 81. He clearly reads that the vote is about the accession protocol about Finland, but the display already shows that it is about Sweden. Thanks for the explanation. 195.165.138.67 (talk) 14:28, 27 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's right. It seems that someone mistakenly pressed the button to show the next item of business too early and that's why the Sweden accession protocol is shown on the display and also in the name of the vote (on the website psp.cz). But anyway, these are for informational purposes only, the spoken words of the presiding officer are what matter and prevail in case of conflict. Human. (talk) 22:14, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

Correct me if im wrong, but the vote in question in the Czech Chamber of deputies is in the first reading, not the final vote (ratification in the second reading). Pann20125536 (talk) 9:15, 29 August 2022 (UTC)


 * The vote linked in article is the final vote (on the Chamber of Deputies' consent to ratification). Although it's true that the standard procedure on treaties in the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic consists of two readings, it's also possible to propose the fast-track/expedited procedure so the final vote will be held immediately in the first reading, which was used in this case. --Human. (talk) 22:09, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Slovakia
People keep adding & removing a Sept date for Slovakia. Don't know if this is adequate, but here's a mention: ''SLOVAKIA: Another September target. ... the parliament (there’s only one chamber) is expected to discuss it in early September at its first regular meeting after the summer break.'' Looks like starting maybe the 13th? (Yellow & orange are committee meetings, blue meetings of the National Assembly.) Though that's the word of a Czech diplomat, not an official announcement. — kwami (talk) 00:04, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Pinging — kwami (talk) 00:39, 17 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I would consider acceptable as source for September 2022 for Slovakia, without a precise date, if it is added to the table. Nevertheless, a direct source would be preferable. Surely, writing 8 September 2022 because the current source says 9.8.2022 is wrong: that is the date the document has been presented to Parliament, namely 9 August 2022. Hetsre (talk) 17:11, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah, I hadn't seen that edit! I'll add the ref. — kwami (talk) 19:04, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I propose to remove the predicted ratification date for Slovakia, at least until a source precisely stating that date is given. Hetsre (talk) 15:45, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Spanish senate
If I'm not mistaken, wasn't the voting today (20 Sept) only about acceptance of single reading procedure, and the actual ratification vote is scheduled for tomorrow (21 Sept)? 195.165.138.67 (talk) 18:20, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Ok, already corrected (but the line is still green and today's date still there...) 195.165.138.67 (talk) 18:29, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Merging ratification dates in institutions that are the same
Is it possible to merge ratification dates in institutions as long as they're the same? FireDragonValo (talk) 16:48, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think that's appropriate. Each institution has different processes for ratification, so it is proper to depict them as different stages in the ratification process.  Ergo Sum  17:43, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. FireDragonValo (talk) 17:11, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * This doesn't seem to be appropriate. This page is supposed to provide the necessary detail on the different stages in the respective ratification process. CrazyPredictor (talk) 00:03, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. FireDragonValo (talk) 17:11, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Ratification map inaccurate
The ratification progress map in the Membership timeline section is inaccurate. It shows the Czech Republic and Montenegro in yellow despite neither having deposited their instruments of ratification. Thus, they should be red. Across WP, we have decided that ratification in this context means a deposited ratification instrument, so we should be consistent. Can someone who is more proficient than me in creating maps on Commons correct the map? And while they are at it, can they add the missing border between Bosnia and Serbia? Also, it probably makes sense to make Finland and Sweden a different color, maybe green, since they too will have to ratify and are the countries in question.  Ergo Sum  15:06, 8 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Source that they will have to ratify? Haven't seen that anywhere. — kwami (talk) 08:56, 9 September 2022 (UTC)


 * For Finland, see point Nr. 5: Finnish Government 195.165.138.67 (talk) 09:04, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * That's not what the map is for. Finland doesn't need to ratify Sweden's membership, nor vice versa. The map is for stage 4 in that outline. — kwami (talk) 09:25, 10 September 2022 (UTC)


 * No they don't, but they both need to ratify their own memberships (assuming it is similar in Sweden as here in Finland). Regarding the map, I don't have any opinion what it should present, just provided a source for Finland's ratification of our own membership, whether that helps in some way or not... 195.165.138.67 (talk) 13:12, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is correct. Finland and Sweden need to ratify their own memberships, but not each others'. Regardless, the main issue is the incorrect shading of countries that have not deposited their instruments of ratification.  Ergo Sum  20:42, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
 * What is incorrect? — kwami (talk) 22:38, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

North Macedonia has deposited, Montenegro has not. Andrew1444 (talk) 22:47, 10 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Doh! Fixing now. — kwami (talk) 23:16, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

It appears that a user has reverted to a previous version. But this depicts both Montenegro and the Czech Republic as having deposited, when only Montenegro has. Are you able to upload a version that has the Czech Republic in red and Montenegro in yellow, to accurately reflect the current situation?  Ergo Sum  21:11, 13 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I think you just need to refresh your cache. S.G ReDark removed Macedonia, and Stefan040780 reverted to that version. — kwami (talk) 21:20, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm still seeing it inaccurate.  Ergo Sum  22:36, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Now it is fixed.  Ergo Sum  16:02, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry for contacting this late. Can you take a look at Bosnia? The border with Serbia is missing. Also sorry about my revert.S.G ReDark (talk) 00:15, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * If you can point me to which map this was copied from, I could take the border from there. — kwami (talk) 00:23, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Ahhh i don't know :( S.G ReDark (talk) 00:58, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Report of Hungary vote October 24
This report comes from a hearsay source. No mention of it in official parliament schedule. I don't see how the former can trump the latter. This should be removed until officially declared. Tdunsky (talk) 11:40, 17 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I agree. Also, it is easier to follow ratifications now that just two countries are left, and WP:NORUSH. Hetsre (talk) 01:44, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Deposited
Slovakia deposited their ratification this morning for Finland and Sweden. 2601:58B:F80:1ED0:594E:4327:A753:E99C (talk) 16:36, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Spain deposited yesterday (6 october) and the protocols were assented on 27 september: https://twitter.com/SpainInTheUSA/status/1578122887436808192?s=20&t=xx_sviJ_34I7uZBk1j1ZYg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.47.19.126 (talk) 06:58, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Which source did state the date when Greece has deposited? It isn't listed in the main source. 2A02:F000:1048:4F00:3DBF:146B:6DE3:C992 (talk) 07:36, 24 October 2022 (UTC)


 * see Mike Rohsopht (talk) 12:25, 24 October 2022 (UTC)


 * We should add that link to the article.185.100.196.253 (talk) 17:33, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree. Hetsre (talk) 13:46, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Hungary ratification
I added December 2022 as a tentative ratification date for Hungary, according to https://www.politico.eu/article/hungary-to-ratify-sweden-and-finlands-nato-membership/. Feel free to discuss and remove it if necessary. Hetsre (talk) 16:14, 25 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I believe any "tentative" obscure and vague dates should be removed, until there is an official entry in the parliament's schedule. Currently there is none. Tdunsky (talk) 08:06, 1 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Removed it. Official schedule of Hungarian parliament through December was published, no mention of it. Tdunsky (talk) 12:26, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, it makes sense. Here's the link to the schedule Hetsre (talk) 16:16, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Old version of this page
This is a bit of a weird question but does anyone know where I can find the old Accession of Finland to NATO page (or at least its edit history) before it got moved to this page. After the move some info has been deleted and I need to find it, but when I can't seem to find the edit history of the Accession of Finland to NATO page because it's just a redirect now. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this but I just can't find the edit history of the old page. Flyingfishee (talk) 23:25, 20 November 2022 (UTC)


 * It should be here. The history was moved along with the article. — kwami (talk) 08:06, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Here's the edit history for that redirect page.  Ergo Sum  11:50, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
 * It only has 5 edits though? It had a lot more before someone turned it into a redirect. Flyingfishee (talk) 04:32, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Repeat: the page history was moved here along with the article. — kwami (talk) 07:03, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Finland without Sweden?
Recent comments by Erdogan that Turkey might approve Finland but not Sweden because "terrorists". Probably worth a mention. — kwami (talk) 23:18, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Hungary II
Following the thread above, it's now January. We should have the January schedule. If no debate has been scheduled, we have no reason to think it's going to happen. A projection from July is inadequate now that we're in the month in question. — kwami (talk) 19:53, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

We have an IP restoring the claim Hungary will pick this up this month. Could you chime in? — kwami (talk) 11:55, 7 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Agreed that removing the projected date until it's officially on the schedule, but why remove the source tracking the legislative procedure? That's useful to keep that pending a date.  TDL (talk) 15:45, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * No prob w the source. Will rs it. — kwami (talk) 21:13, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Please block the troll who is making edit war — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.167.80.80 (talk) 07:29, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

I added the following comment for Hungary's ratification date "Please do not insert a date until it has been already added to the Parliamentary schedule, see WP:NORUSH and WP:CRYSTALBALL", but it has been reverted by and considered as if by a troll. No intention to re-start the edit war, so I am bringing it to the talk page. I think the comment is necessary. — Hetsre (talk) 16:51, 16 January 2023 (UTC) HEtsre please let it be as it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HulkNorris (talk • contribs) 17:21, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

The ratification has been added to the Parliamentary schedule for March 2023. Hetsre (talk) 17:33, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Material that does not follow Wikipedia guidelines, e.g. unsourced information, will be deleted. The talk is always available for discussion. Hetsre (talk) 11:33, 25 February 2023 (UTC) Nothing was unsourced please don't write lies here. It would be better if you never edit that article again. I'm so tired of your misinformation here.HulkNorris (talk) 10:35, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Unsourced literally means that a source was not provided.

The various provided dates were factually false, since Hungary has not yet ratified.Hetsre (talk) 21:10, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Incorrect number of deposited ratifications
Hungary is expected to deposit it today, which means it will soon be 29/30, but not 30/30. In Turkey it first needs to recieve presidential assent, then they will give an official day for the deposit and only then it'll actually be 30/30. Iceylore (talk) 09:45, 31 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Yeah, Turkey won't apply until April 4 in New York, and it's still the 3rd in New York. We also don't know what time, but presumably after 8 am, so we can't change at midnight local time. Per CRYSTAL, we have to wait until we have a report that they actually deposited. I don't know if Finland also needs to deposit, but that also will probably not occur until tomorrow at the earliest, and perhaps first require that they be invited, so that part of the table also can't yet be green. — kwami (talk) 23:07, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Turkey has two presidential assents?
Can someone explain what is meant by a "legislative" and an "executive" presidential assent for Turkey and why there are two? Perhaps the parenthetical can be clarified a bit in the table?  Ergo Sum  02:03, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not clear on why the president has to sign it twice, and why we can't just note the final signature as the ultimate approval. 331dot (talk) 12:57, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
