[edit] Location Maps

On the WikiProject Countries talk page, you had either explictly declared a general interest in the project, or had participated at a discussion that appears related to Location Maps for European countries.
New maps had been created by David Liuzzo, and are available for the countries of the European continent, and for countries of the European Union exist in two versions. From November 16, 2006 till January 31, 2007, a poll had tried to find a consensus for usage of 'old' or of which and where 'new' version maps. At its closing, 25 people had spoken in favor of either of the two presented usages of new versions but neither version had reached a consensus (12 and 13), and 18 had preferred old maps.
As this outcome can hardly justify reverting of new maps that had become shown in the infobox of some countries, seconds before February 5, 2007 a survey started that will be closed at February 20, 2007 23:59:59. It should establish whether the new style maps may be applied as soon as some might become available for countries outside the European continent (or such to depend on future discussions), and also which new version should be applied for which countries.
Please note that since January 1, 2007 all new maps became updated by David Liuzzo (including a world locator, enlarged cut-out for small countries) and as of February 4, 2007 the restricted licence that had jeopardized their availability on Wikimedia Commons, became more free. The subsections on the talk page that had shown David Liuzzo's original maps, now show his most recent design.
Please read the discussion (also in other sections α, β, γ, δ, ε, ζ, η, θ) and in particular the arguments offered by the forementioned poll, while realizing some comments to have been made prior to updating the maps, and all prior to modifying the licences, before carefully reading the presentation of the currently open survey. You are invited to only then finally make up your mind and vote for only one option.
There mustnot be 'oppose' votes; if none of the options would be appreciated, you could vote for the option you might with some effort find least difficult to live with - rather like elections only allowing to vote for one of several candidates. Obviously, you are most welcome to leave a brief argumentation with your vote. Kind regards. — SomeHuman 7 Feb 2007 19:59 (UTC)

[edit] Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus

Consider this an official warning. Do not add your own opinion into articles. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, and Wikipedia articles are not commentaries on current events. If you have an issue with an article, use the article's talk page. Failing to abide by the neutral point of view may result in further action being taken against you.

Please stop forking your version of the intro at TRNC into articles such as Military of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. This is considered against Wikipedia guidelines. Khoikhoi 20:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Please refrain from adding incorrect fact templates as you did to Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. KazakhPol 01:16, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Cyprus map showing Turkish occupied territory in 1974.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cyprus map showing Turkish occupied territory in 1974.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Questions

Regarding your messages about the TRNC on my talk page: I have no problem with being hammered with questions, that's what my talk page is for. I will look into the matter, but for personal reasons I won't be able to answer your questions right now, and I don't think I'll be able to answer them this weekend either. One point I would like to make at the moment is my first impression, which is that the two paragraphs you added were somewhat uncontextual chunks of text. I would recommend rewriting the paragraphs, so that they fit within the already existing body of text. (Note: this is purely a layout suggestion, I haven't yet looked into the content of what you added). A ecis^Brievenbus 22:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] indirect links -> direct links

Hi there, I changed some of the links in the 'fair use' part of some images you uploaded from indirect links (redirects) to direct links. I hope this is okay. Greets, Van der Hoorn 20:36, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
