The flag has nothing to do with Greek or Macedonian nationalism: first created in 2008, Minoa thought that the Vergina sun was appropriate for the climate and geography that her NationStates nation is located. Furthermore, Minoa has been avoiding real world politics, due to how hateful, divisive, and depressing it has become.

Hello, my name is Minoa: on 2 March 2019, I adopted this username, because I use the name of my NationStates nation more often than the old username. I would like to thank Base for bringing the new and more relevant username into reality.

However, I chose not to abandon my old account to avoid potential complications with multiple accounts, given that Wikipedia policy says that editors are generally expected to have only one account.

Since I am fighting severe depression and doomscrolling, my editing schedule remains irregular.

I came out of full retirement in September 2018, to address a number of annoying issues with the detail in some articles. The main fixes included:

• Resolving outdated colours of the Grand Paris Express lines, and resolve the annoyingly off-centred text in the icon for Paris Metro Line 15;
• Clarifying that the Czech blue tit was alive and well, at the time when the age record was set;^[1]
• Revising or removing outdated Athens Metro extensions;
• Corrected the font for the New York City Subway bullets, and created a complete set in the process;
• Removed the Athens Suburban Railway line numbers that were added without reliable sources, only for Hellenic Train to come up with one.^[2]

In addition, three new article projects since my return:

• Conversations about Important Things: Putin-era indoctrination for schools, with the threat of police action against those who either don't attend or question more.
• International E-road network in Greece: not only did the E-road network not instantly switch from old to new in 1983, but both systems saw significant revisions, especially in 1985.
• National roads in Greece: I identified, with references, Greek national road numbers that see general use (e.g. EO1 and EO8a), numbers that exist for statistical purposes only (e.g. EO52 and EO102), and numbers that do not exist (e.g. EO4a and EO23).

• Public transport in Athens

I am experienced in the deployment and operation of MediaWiki projects, such as NSindex (2013–2022). That does not mean that I am a total expert, since I ask for advice on enabling or disabling certain MediaWiki features from time to time.
