Hello and welcome
Oh, was it you who has previously created all the historic ministry articles as an IP? Great work. You've got a wee fan club on our Facebook group if that were the case.  Schwede 66  20:59, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Maltese maps
Hello. Thanks for a your work on the Maltese election maps. A couple of requests/suggestions: Cheers, Number   5  7  13:10, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Could you make the white background transparent? If you don't have the facility on your computer, you can use sites like this to do it for you.
 * Could you remove the heading (e.g. "Maltese general election, 2003"), as this doesn't match the article title (it's the old, more awkward format) and also isn't necessary as the image would only ever be used in a context where a heading isn't necessary.
 * Could you change the colours for a few parties so that they match those use on Wikipedia. For example:
 * Constitutional Party is #C71585
 * Gozo Party is #96BC97
 * Malta Workers' Party is #B87333
 * Democratic Action Party is #2D1B7F
 * Christian Workers' Party is #000000
 * Democratic Nationalist Party (Malta, 1959–1966) is #A02C2C
