I would contest the title of this piece; the wording of the declaration says nothing about homosexuality. --128.243.253.103 05:58, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Edit request

{{editprotected}} Image caption's colors do not relate correctly to the map. Green should be opposition and blue should be support. There is no red in the image.--Haha169 (talk) 18:08, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Right! Thanks for noticing. New maps were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons under the same name. I will revert the image there, as Wikinews archiving convention reminds us not to change the news after we have reported it.

If you need a new map with different colours or countries, please help those projects who already use the map by uploading changes under a new name. (Please only make cosmetic changes to images used in news.)

• FYI, this is a perennial problem with Commons (/me mutters darkly about Ministry of Information overtones) Take a copy of the image they've overwritten, and add the article's publish date as a suffix before putting "on pain of Brian" notice in the img desc page. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 09:26, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

I actually don't have a problem with either change (change the image back, or modify the text). Editing the caption under the box to say new countries had been added would be changing content, but correcting the colours that were mentioned in the caption is a strictly consmetic change that has no bearing on the content of the article.

Done We need an 'on pain of Brian' template (I believe the list of countries was also changed a couple of times). I reverted the Commons version at File:UN-SOGR-supporters.PNG, and uploaded the newer blue-green version at File:UN-SOGR-signatories-2009-10-06.PNG. According to Google Translate wikipedia:sh:Deklaracija Ujedinjenih nacija o seksualnoj orijentaciji i rodnom identitetu had the same problem as we did: a caption mentioning the green and red colours.

(For discussion at Water Cooler one day: I wonder if there is a way to track such changes in Commons - with 17000 articles at English Wikinews, it would be hard even for a bot to keep up, even if it was allowed to automatically revert files!!)
