;Request:
 
: Hi there, is there anyway to merge these two maps together? Currently they represent separate Counties in a government / postal way, but else where Sussex is treated as one county, or was at least one county until the 1970's
There would be a few sport related this map would be used on, i.e. to represent where in the county league teams play.
 
Hope you can help, articles would look untidy with the two separate maps on the same page. -- [[User:EddersGTI|EddersGTI]] ([[User talk:EddersGTI|talk]]) 01:15, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

: The stripes on this map make it hard on the eyes, and the boundaries of Egyptian governorates and Sudanese states are much harder to see. Could you replace the stripes with a solid background of identical colors, and replace the [[Hala'ib Triangle]] double striping with a solid purple or green? (My colorblindness makes it hard to tell which is current; just please use the current color) And please be careful to leave [[Bir Tawil]] at its current white. Thank you. -- [[User:Nyttend|Nyttend]] ([[User talk:Nyttend|talk]]) 12:32, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Nyttend}} I put in the striping to help colour-blind people who can't distinguish yellow from blue, so was surprised to read that solid colour is better. Is this universal?

::::Blue-yellow colorblindness is a good deal rarer than red-green colorblindness, and blue-yellow is as strange to me as red-green is to normal people, so I can't give you a solid answer on what they perceive. While the stripes make it distinguishable at full resolution, they make the governorate/state boundaries much harder to see, and you won't see the stripes at lower resolutions; either they're not noticeable at all, or they make the image look "fuzzy" and reduce its perceived quality without improving visibility for someone who can't see the colors. If you're concerned about blue-yellow, I think a better option is changing the darkness of the different regions, since even a totally colorblind person would see the four regions as four different (and thus distinguishable) shades of grey.
