The map of NATO at the head of the article has some... curious inconsistencies, including but not limited to:

- The inclusion of the neutral zone between Iraq and Saudi Arabia (abolished 1991)

- The incorporation of Palestine into Jordan

- The nonexistence of Eritrea???

Is there any map that can be used that represents extra-NATO borders correctly? Stars-on-grey (talk) 18:09, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, you might raise these issues on the files' own talk page. I'll say that this is not a very accurate map when you zoom in (see Ireland and the UK and the lack of the Isle of Man or that there's no Malta, for example). As a locator map for the infobox, I'm not sure it needs to be, but Eritrea's border is something that could definitely be added. Before they were banned, the file was maintained by Ssolbergj, and the same base map is used on two other Europe/US locator maps too: NATO/EU and EU/US. So any fixes to one might be worth making to the others. But to that last question, yes, there is alternative, it looks like this, you'd just need to turn Russia gray.-- Patrick Neil, _oѺ^∞/Talk 19:58, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After looking at the file, it wasn't that hard address these.-- Patrick Neil, _oѺ^∞/Talk 02:52, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As of today, October 1st, 2024, Mark Rutte has succeeded Jens Stoltenberg as Secretary General of NATO. During a ceremony at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Rutte was officially installed. Tdfokker (talk) 09:19, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Already listed in the infobox. Looks like we don't have prose text on any of the past succession ceremonies in this article so not sure what you're looking for Cannolis (talk) 18:15, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think the map currently in the infobox deserves an update, so I created a new one with more accurate and up-to-date borders that aligns with the conventions on orthographic map projections, plus different colors indicating the territories of member states that aren't actually covered by the treaty (e.g., French Guiana). I also created another map to focus on the European member states, which I think deserves a spot on the infobox as well.

From L-R: Current orthographic map; proposed orthographic map; proposed new European locator map

Fabulous, thank you, those are great. The current map has some pretty atrocious cartographic issues. You can see in the topic above from September, I went into the SVG to fix deviations in the Iraqi border and add Eritrea, which had been somehow forgotten. As I mentioned then, zooming into it shows just how simplified it is, but even that degree of simplification on coastlines is inconsistent in different spots. So yes, I'll put both of those maps you made into the infobox with a switcher toggle. Patrick Neil, _oѺ^∞/Talk 19:19, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change the field "leader_name2" from Rob Bauer to Giuseppe Cavo Dragone. Giuseppe Cavo Dragone has become Chair of the NATO Military Committee (CMC) on the 17th of January 2025.

False. US Navy and Turkish Navy have conducted NATO operations during the cold war. NATO members also conducted military operations together during the Vietnam War. 50.53.60.181 (talk) 22:10, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
