Friendship Games participants map

Hi. I saw this request at the Map Workshop. Do you have any specific colours in mind that should be used on the map for 1) the participants, and 2) the host nations? It shouldn't take me too long to do this :) (I'll probably notice a reply quicker if you email me - as long as you don't mind me knowing your email address.) Matthewedwards :  Chat  22:37, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I've completed your request. The file is located at File:1984 Friendship Games participants.png. Please let me know if there are any errors or changes that need making, or if you would like a .svg version. The file is currently hosted locally, but I don't care if it gets sent over to Commons if the article has versions in other languages. Regards, Matthewedwards :  Chat  21:23, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

A present for you!

		The Invisible Barnstar
		The Friendship Games was one of many things I was hoping to expand at some point. You beat me to it and did a great job on the whole article series! Excellent, well-researched work on a subject which is not very well known or understood internationally. I also salute you for your commitment to article neutrality as well as for working in a language which is not your own (we have something in common!). Many 1980s Cold War-related topics are blighted by poor referencing and bias. Your work is an example for all. SFB 18:35, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

- Thank you very much!!! I am SO flattered by this :] ! - ArCgon (talk) 14:10, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
