Why my editions were reverted?

The appointed Regency Council of The United Baltic Duchy consisting of four Baltic Germans, three Estonians and three Latvians functioned until November 28, 1918, without any international recognition, except from German Empire.

Superfluous. There was not United Baltic Duchy in Estonia, there was already Republic of Estonia (what had nothing to do with the Duchy) effective since November 1918.

The Soviet Republic of Naissaar was declared November 1917 by some of the remnants of the Commune, but this experiment was ended in February 26, 1918.

This sentence is superfluous and desinforming anyway, because this "republic" was founded before, not after the commune.

On November 28, the Red Army conducted an assault to capture the city with artillery support and, on November 29th, the Red Army captured Narva and Narva-Jõesuu. Estonian bolsheviks declared a regional local government in Narva under the name of the Estonian Workers' Commune (Eesti Töörahva Kommuun)

Taken from article Estonian War of Independence, which seems to bee more accurate and neutral.

[edit] Banner of the "Commune"

I do not know where this banner came from, but it does not seem authentic. If anything, it resembles crude picture made in PainBrush of 1997 vintage using EGA monitor by somebody who started to learn Russian but has no command of either Russian and Estonian. Script is not authentic (Russian script of an early XX century is quite distinct from what is used today) and border pixels are clearly visible (as when somebody tries to enlarge small raster image) and does not create "rainbow effect" (as is always the case when one scans paper source, with gradual change in pixel's color from red to yellow through all shades of orange and pink), spelling is all wrong (letters are substituting one another on the basis of similarity for an eye trained in Latin script but not familiar with Cyrillic) and even spelling mistakes does not conform with the typical mistakes made by an Estonian with a limited knowledge of Russian. Can somebody provide reliable source for this image and confirm it's authencity? RJ CG 13:28, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

• The flag was taken from worldstatesmen.org but apparently the original source was here: [1]. --BlarghHgralb 06:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
