This was hinted here, but not explicitly stated. Next edit →
Line 14: When a map is used for illustration, the map should follow the same principles as photos used for illustration. Maps that are classed as primary sources may be used as illustrations provided that the accompanying text identifies their authorship. Editor-created maps should be careful to only depict details supported by reliable sources in the article and common information that would appear on any published map relating to the subject. For user-created maps based on [[GIS]] or satellite images, it is acceptable to use details already present in the database used to create the map. Before cloning or adding details to third-party created maps, ensure ~~that the addition both meets the above criteria, and~~ that the [[derivative work]] ~~will not create issues~~complies with [[copyright]] laws. List all sources used when uploading the image to Wikipedia or Commons. ==Sources==
