Original – Map showing air attacks on Japan during the Second World War (1945)

Edit 1 – Recolour (no topography), fix typos, add long/lat amounts.

Reason: SVG format; complicated information that is not easily replicated in text form; clear presentation; standard colours; very informative to the reader; US military source.
Articles in which this image appears: Air raids on Japan, Allied naval bombardments of Japan during World War II (newly replaced raster version [latter only])
FP category for this image: Diagrams, drawings, and maps

Comment -- Very nice. You have a typo on the second lowest red ship though (missing a "y" in July) Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:05, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- Just up by Hokkaido, 'Tomaxomai' should be 'Tomakomai', 'Uckiura' should be 'Uchiura', and 'Haxodate' should be 'Hakodate'. There might be a few more too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.92.107.191 (talk) 02:45, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Note Grandiose, I've left some comments on your talk page so they don't bloat the nomination. Matthewedwards : Chat 06:14, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Could I possibly call a Pause for a couple of hours whilst I take these points on board? Thanks. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 10:01, 28 March 2012 (UTC)~~[reply]

Edit 1 now uploaded. (Some of the original labels were very hard to read; if I've made any more transcription errors, I will not hesitate to correct them. However, the IP's ones were the actually the ones I was most unsure of.) Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 10:48, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest giving the city names a quick Google search (or Wikipedia search) to check for possible transcription errors. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:58, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did for the dozen or so I thought I'd got wrong - the ones pointed out were next in line. I don't have the few hours doing all of them would take. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 13:13, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support edit 1 I made a couple of minor edits to the shading, aquatic typeface etc. I also smoothed out the latitude lines that I mentioned on your talk page (forgive me for being presumptuous but I assumed you didn't understand what I was talking about there). Hope that's okay. Matthewedwards : Chat 18:06, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support edit 1 This is an excellent map, and a big improvement on the US military original. I'm very grateful for Grandiose developing this for the Air raids on Japan article (which is currently at FAC). My only comment is that 'Sasebp' on Kyushu should be 'Sasebo' Nick-D (talk) 23:25, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Now corrected. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 10:13, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is no name on the city which the southernmost black arrow points to. Can this be fixed? Katalysator (talk) 12:18, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 14:24, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support edit 1 Great effort. Good looking and useful. Katalysator (talk) 16:05, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

4 out of 5 required. Worth renominating. Papa Lima Whiskey 2 20:44, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
