'''Graphist opinion:''' I've created this SVG from the map you suggested, but the areas of slate are not shown in very high resolution on the original, and so probably won't be particularly accurate on the SVG. Does anyone know where the data for the original map originally came from? [[User:Time3000|Time3000]] 15:32, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

:Posted a message on the [[User talk:Rhion#Slate_in_Wales|user's talk page]]. I think the source is a book, to judge from the article. The user isn't always online, so we'll see if we get a timely response or not. And thanks!:) --<font color="black">[[User:Zantastik|Zantastik]]</font> <font color="darkgreen" size="1">[[User talk:Zantastik|talk]]</font> 19:38, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

: The map is based on a map in Richards, Alun John 1995 ''Slate quarrying in Wales'' Gwasg Carreg Gwalch. {{ISBN |0-86381-319-4}}. However his map does not show the slate areas in very high resolution either. [[User:Rhion|Rhion]] 21:14, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

::I can't easily get hold of a copy of that, and if it's also quite low resolution then it's probably not worth it. I had a look round on the internet for anything that might help, but I couldn't find anything that could be remotely useful. The map is still reasonably OK, so it's probably easiest just to leave it like it is, unless someone with the book (or something else) wants to improve it.

::: Looks great to me. Given the information available it's the best one can do with this request, imo. But wouldn't the SVG be better with another background? The light grey colour in the PNG looks better to me.
