Request:

Only nine years late... I've noticed that this map does not show the Isle of Wight (for comparison see File:EnglandSouthEast.png). It needs to be added - it's specifically mentioned at, for instance, West Country dialects. -- Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:43, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Native American Indian Tribes - Raven Stories

Stale

  Tlingit tribe geography
• 
  Regional map
• 
  The Raven sits on a frog after having rescued children from a flood.

Article(s): Raven Tales

Request:

As I've been working on extensively expanding the Raven Tales article which is about they cultural stories of Indians in the north west, it's become apparent that the geography of each tribe and the relation of them to each other is significant to the stories. Reading the stories there is significant detail which describes the geography. I think it would be very interesting to compose a map which displays each of the tribes that have stories of Raven... to see the geographic comparison. Going even further it would be awesome to attempt to plot the journeys of Raven through all of the stories but this may be a very intensive endeavor to take on.

I've added extensive references to the Raven Tales article where you can get access to the original stories if you'd like to start taking a look. Thanks. I found this image [1] which should help as well. -- David Condrey (talk) 20:08, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Please make added borders less draw-y, match the rest of map... -- Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 15:28, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

The borders on the rest of the map don't look draw-y because they are precise. They can be precise because they represent something real and well-defined. The borders of the territories of the proposed "Greater Mongolia" were never defined, and it would feel dishonest to draw them as precise. How would it be if someone made them greyer, or invisible, just leaving the pink patches? Unfortunately the pink patches don't quite border Mongolia, so there would be an annoying and incorrect gap. Maproom (talk) 21:48, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

That's specious-Altai, Tuva, Buryatia and Inner Mongolia, all already labeled on the map, have well-defined borders, and do border Mongolia without any gap. It is a disservice to Wikipedia to have a map up that looks like it was sketched out in MSPaint of an afternoon. The options are improve the map or seek to have it deleted, not another halfway stopgap map that doesn't address the earlier issue.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 11:36, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Accepted. I retract my comment. Maproom (talk) 11:39, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
