Added U.N Hymn[edit]

I added the Anthem of the U.N. Thoughts? Nurusa101 (talk) 20:45, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nop as it is clear to there is no official anthem or hymn for the UN. And we don't do here any promotion for anything. If one day some is adopted then yeap. Nubia86 (talk) 06:56, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Taiwan in the members map[edit]

Taiwan, was expelled from the UN in 1971 because of a UN resolution that recognized the People's Republic of China as the sole legitimate government of China and moved all the rights of the Republic of China to the PRC, also expelling Taiwan from the UN. On the map, Taiwain appears marked on light blue as a UN member, when it should not. It's not a minor detail considering the UN is a international organisation for the cooperation among world governments, and considering the Wikipedia page about UN Members even has a section reffering to the expelling of Taiwan, it shouldn't be marked on the map. Can someone incorporate a map with the issue solved please. 190.150.46.41 (talk) 04:17, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

United Nations is also a Song in the Pokémon game series of Gamefreak ...[edit]
