Hello people of r/europe,

the holidays will start in some days and we hope that everyone of you has the opportunity to celebrate the christmas days and the holidays like you want to. Have fun with your family or simple take a rest after another year with lots of happenings.

If you check out our rules, you may notice that we have slightly modified "Disallowed Submissions #2", which is the rule dealing with proper sourcing of graphs, maps, infographics, and similar content. From now on, all such submissions must be accompanied by a top-level comment linking to the source(s) of the data in the post. This means that it is no longer sufficient for the name of the source to simply be written on the image or stated in a comment as a non-link; the source must be linked.

Also, please welcome our two new mods and welcome back a returning former mod!

u/1010x - Hello everyone! I am a returning mod after a two year break. I am from Kazakhstan, but throughout my life I lived in Russia, UAE and United States ( so everywhere except for actual Europe which is perfect for this subreddit). I am happy to come back and work again with the wonderful mod team and the amazing people in this subreddit.

u/Svhmj - Hi! I'm from Sweden, where I have lived all my life. I'm looking forward to be a part of the mod them and to help moderate r/Europe, which is my favourite subreddit.

u/tnflr - Hello! I'm joining you from Portugal's mainland, but I'm originally from the Azores islands! I like long walks on the beach, anime and thinking I'm funny. I hope to take this chance to work with you all to maintain r/europe's high quality.
