Talk:Geography of New Zealand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The currently this article states that New Zealand has a water area of 10 sq km. This is obviously wrong as Lake Taupo alone is 616 sq km. And given all the other lakes and rivers it would be several thousand, maybe even 10,000 sq km. However I have yet to find an answer which seems right. A past edition of the CIA world factbook seems to have got it wrong and a lot of people have copied this wrong result. So I have removed it only leaving the total area. -- Popsracer 22:33, 23 Oct 2003 (UTC)
This article should have a geographical map. 67.113.40.155 21:08, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Map Revisions
I have revised the previous map of New Zealand to vacate new towns and cities. If their are any problems with this or any comments/questions. Feel free to contact me via my talk page.--Matt von Furrie 01:07, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Map scale is wrong
Unfortunately the map scale in the NZ map from the CIA World Factbook is wrong. Please see: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:New_Zealand_map.PNG and a further note at: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image_talk:New_Zealand_map.PNG
I have put a brief note in its caption. Until this is resolved I think it is wrong to display a map which is giving a wrong impression of the country's size.
Becase this affects more than one article I respectfully suggest that discussion about the map is best kept together at: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image_talk:New_Zealand_map.PNG
Thank you.
- warning removed - it's fixed. See the talk page referenced above for more. (from anonymous, grouchy old git)
