This will make it okay for use. Other egs where this has worked include the [[London Midland]] maps & the pdf, the [[Beeching]] II map, and the [[Central Citylink]] map (see archives).

::It will never be a featured photo, but it's certainly less "creative" than this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Astronomy/Image_Review/Approved_Images]. Had the camera, actor and airplane been positioned only slightly differently, the beams would not have showed. So I don't think there's a loss of "encyclopedic" value. (Oops, had about 5 files of this thing saved, didn't realize I'd grabbed one with the background people removed.) - Let me know which objects/people you want in the photo. I think it looks best with both people and beams removed. (And actually I think the answer is, we can, if no one screams.) [[User:Sagredo|<b><

:You've really nailed the color scheme thing! :) Actually, what I need is just a map of the former Soviet Union, with the same ability to change information periodically as the Schengen map.

Edited image at top of section. With the possible exception of the shade of purple/lavender, I think it's done. All the Eurasia is there, even though the western part of Europe and the southern part of Asia don't show. The page is just set too small to cover them, but can be easily expanded. It is editable/updatable. Do you want the dark purple from here? [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:WOSMMap-World.svg]] (Although the colors there are,. . . well. . . um. . . not my first choices.)

'''Request:''' It would be nice to help this image pop a bit more as the monotone makes it blah on the page now. Firstly can we mitigate the "WIDDER" as it's so prominent? Then I suggest ramping up the contrast and finally playing with the color. If the ram could be white or at least lighter or vice versa might help the image pop more but I'm open to all suggestions.

::::The thumbnail of the second version shows a lighter shade of brown - almost peach (not brown at all!) but when I click through, I get a much darker version which makes it harder to see the individual points/stars. I would prefer if the image was lighter so we could make out the stars more easily. --[[User:Seans Potato Business|Seans]] '''[[User talk:Seans Potato Business|Potato Business]]''' 20:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

'''Request:''' Any chance these maps can be SVGified (if necessary) and toned down per other wiki maps. I've seen them being used on a number of portals, for example the [[Portal:England|England Portal]], and their ugliness is bugging me! Many thanks, [[User:Seaserpent85|<

:Maybe grey in place of green, and a paler red/pink for the highlighted area... basically anything that's not as bright and gaudy as the current ones! [[User:Seaserpent85|<
I can't convert to svg. but I can color. How's this? The blue should match the blue color used in the [[:Portal:United Kingdom]]. [[User:Sagredo|<b><
:Thanks for the speedy reply! They look good, however they don't really stand out (ironic, I know, after saying they were too bright earlier)... could you change the grey to a much lighter shade? As they are mainly used at the size shown above, the ones for the Isle of Man and Cornwall are hardly visible. Thanks again, [[User:Seaserpent85|<
::How's the Isle of Man, Cornwall & Wales now? The space between Cornwall and the edge of the image limits the size of a pointer. [[User:Sagredo|<b><
:::That's brilliant, thanks for all you hard work! :) [[User:Seaserpent85|<
::::While it would be simplest just to replace the originals with these, and have them appear everywhere, it would certainly offend some. The Wales Portal and the Northern Ireland Portals use red and extensively and the images do match there. Seeing the color of the Flag of Wales, while I do understand, it is the time of year when one grows weary of red and green. Blue and gray would look much nicer in Scotland and England for sure. So, SeaSerpent, I suggest that you leave a note on each portal's talk page stating that these are available, and hopefully it will soon look a lot less like Christmas! <[[User:Sagredo|Sagredo]] ([[User talk:Sagredo|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sagredo|contribs]]) 05:03, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

::Yes. Each country is a separate object or group of objects. On the original map the borders are just the background showing through the cracks, like cracks in a stone wall. There's a function called "stroke" that puts a border on selected objects. There's also a "select all" function, so the whole world can be selected and "stroked" at once. Should you want to describe this to another graphicist, the stroke is 1 pixel wide. Norway and Greece also seemed to be suffering from sea level rise, so I helped them out. Time to Gao.
