As above. This map was created specially scaled to fit a vertical format suited to display on screen. You liked my Montreal map; do you like this one?
- Nominated by Montrealais, 14 Apr 2004
- Support - This is great work, but it raises a small problem. My dear mother called it "an embarrassment of riches". Montrealais is capable of creating this fine work for every metro system on the planet. They can't all appear on Featured Pictures. This one (Madrid) documents an interesting metro system, so gets my vote. If Montrealais wished to create a user sub-page of all these maps I would welcome a link from Features Pictures to that page. - Gaz 01:42, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- That's a good idea. I don't know about "capable of creating one for every city on the planet" - ars longa, vita brevis - but I'll put together a page to show off the ones I have done/will do. For the time being, I'll withdraw the nomination above. (Note: Self-nomination of Map of the Barcelona metro withdrawn.) - Montrealais
- OK, page complete. Check out User:Montrealais/Metro maps. - Montréalais 04:00, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Support. It would be very good to have more diagrams of this quality throughout the Wikipedia. - Bevo 22:17, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Support. Pilaf 02:04, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks, folks! For the record, could you say whether you are supporting the nomination just of the Madrid map, or of the User:Montrealais/Metro maps page collectively as suggested by Gaz? - Montrealais
- I was voting for this image alone. - Bevo 14:48, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Oppose (very reluctantly, as it's a super image). It's not a rule (although depending on what one takes "transparent copy" to mean, perhaps it should be) but I really think structured drawings should be accompanied by an upload of a zip with the corresponding structured version (in whatever program the creator uses). This way some future editor has a chance of keeping the structured diagram up to date (add/remove stations, lines etc.) should Montrealais be run over by a lightrail car. Although not required, I think this is "best practice", which featured images should be. If, however, Montrealais' diagrams are like Morwen's maps (i.e. maschocistically drawn in a bitmap editor) then I of course withdraw my objection. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 00:32, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I can do this, if necessary. It is semi-structured in that I drew it in Photoshop, with each line represented as a layer; but the image is bitmap, not vector. Would it, then, be useful for me to upload? - Montrealais
- For the record: the above comment was added by an anonymous IP. - Woodrow XXIIIII, Emperor of the United States, Minister of Ministry 01:19, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- That was indeed me. I don't always log in. - Montréalais 04:49, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Sure, that would be great. There's still a lot folks could do with that - they could produce images of just a single line (which the london underground pages have), and assuming the text layers aren't rasterised they could easily rename a station. You might like to rasterise the copyright-message layer anyway, but that's your call. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 01:23, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Support (following addition of sourcefile). Great image. (yeah, I see what you mean about the text layers). -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 11:16, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Support (for whole page of maps, and for this image as representative) -- Andrew 07:14, Apr 23, 2004 (UTC)
- Support. -- Kaihsu 15:41, 2004 Apr 26 (UTC)
- Promoted. -- Infrogmation 22:46, 2 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
