Stale

Make the small islands on map more visible

Article(s): United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories#Completely autonomous dependencies

Request: (Concerns improvement of the 3rd map.) Many of the concerned territories consist only of some small islands. The information in this map is color-coded and the small area of the islands makes it hard to actually see, which territories are colored blue and which red (even in this view and when enlarging the view, I think the important information isn't visible very well). Could someone maybe surround the smaller islands with a lighter tone of the respective color, so that there will be larger, lightly colored areas? This could be done by highlighting the territorial waters or exclusive economic zones (see first and second image). -- Toshio Yamaguchi 14:35, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Updated/better peacekeeping map

Article(s): Peacekeeping

Request: It would be nice to update those 2008 maps (yes, both, confusing, isn't it)? There is a bunch of nicer, more informative maps on the web, with legends that also give information about mission timeframe, size, and name. See [1], [2], [3] (bottom of the article), [4], [5] or [6]. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 22:00, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's up to date, but still less informative then most of the maps I have linked. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:26, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think the map's just too crowded for adding labels to be particularly effective. ResMar 16:24, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
