Request: English version please... Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 18:12, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried contacting the original uploader, it might be easier for him to do a translation. P. S. Burton (talk) 10:49, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
His userpage clearly states "en:2-This user is able to contribute with an intermediate level of English." This is the appropriate place to bring it.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 23:12, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What I meant is that he probably still has the original svg or psd file on his harddrive. Working with that file would be easier, because that would mean that the map won't have to be redrawn from scratch just to change the labels. P. S. Burton (talk) 16:39, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image's request under progression Request taken by P. S. Burton.: I will give it a try. P. S. Burton (talk) 18:47, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Can you please check if I forgot something, or mistranslated something, before I add it to the article. P. S. Burton (talk) 21:43, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That is a huge amount of work on your part, thank you! Two quickies:
  • It literally says "Russian Soviet", but in English it becomes "Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic" or "Russian SFSR", whichever you have space for. :)
  • Ungarn in the infobox=Hungary
Thank you again!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 14:18, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I found one mistake, but maybe it's deliberate: Fiume (Rijeka) should stay like that, as it was only transferred to Yugoslavia and renamed Rijeka until after WWII. Richardprins (talk) 20:51, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. P. S. Burton (talk) 21:37, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request: lettering is beautiful but unencyclopedic. can we wikify it? Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 04:28, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Have you tried contacting the original author? Also note that this map is part of a series (highly laudable, IMHO), all of which feature distinctive fonts. Classical geographer (talk) 09:39, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also think this one is fine as is. Kmusser (talk) 16:41, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this map should not be changed. P. S. Burton (talk) 03:27, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
