Bad map projection template draft

This map uses an inappropriate map projection or is unprojected (simple geographic coordinates mapping). Using an incorrect map projection distorts one or several of area, shape, direction, bearing, distance, or scale in a way that represents the map's subject poorly. This map should be remade and re-uploaded in an appropriate projection.

See Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions, Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Map workshop, and Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Resources for help.

Example:

[This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the State of California that was in any way "involved in the governmental process" and "prepared, owned, used or retained by any state or local agency" or officer. That work is available pursuant to court interpretation of the Sunshine Amendment of the Constitution of California, and/or the California Public Records Act (CPRA), which contained no relevant provision(s) for copyright.

It is not copyrighted because (lacking an exception in statute like those for works of the Department of Toxic Substances Control or works of certain colleges established by statute) "unrestricted disclosure is required".

See County of Santa Clara v. CFAC. In brief, the "CPRA contains no provisions either for copyrighting [this work] or for conditioning its release on an end user or licensing agreement by the requester. The record thus must be disclosed as provided in the CPRA, without any such conditions or limitations." Subject to general disclaimers.] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)

To patrollers: The template {{PD-CAGov}} has been conclusively determined to apply to seals, logos, flags, and other graphics representing government agencies at all levels in the State of California. This includes, but is not limited to, state-level agencies, counties, and incorporated cities, as well as special district agencies (such as school districts, harbor districts, or water districts), and joint powers authorities. It does not include any U.S. Government agencies or sub-units thereof.

Please be mindful of this before submitting this file to WP:PUF or other deletion/review processes.

Justification: Please see (results of PUF for example case)

Exceptions: As noted in the {{PD-CAGov}} template, there exist certain exceptions in statute like those for works of the Department of Toxic Substances Control or works of certain colleges, allowing those works to (potentially) be subject to copyright or other conditions or limitations on use. These are specifically legislated (established by statute) and should not apply to examples of seals, logos, flags, and other graphics for government agencies in California. {{PD-CAGov}} also does not apply to works of the U.S. Government or subdivisions thereof.
