Map of the City of Manila

I know some people are hesitant about promoting maps as featured pictures, but we don't have a city detail map yet, and I think this one is certainly worthy. This map of Manila was brilliantly created by Seav. It's beautiful! I love the colors, fonts, and style selections. This should be the benchmark for city maps. A picture is worth a thousand words, and this one speaks tons. Coffee 12:59, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Nominate and support. - Coffee 12:59, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Have to say it doesn't fare well as a thumbnail. Circeus 13:43, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
    • We vote on the full image don't we? Panoramas don't make good thumbnails either and yet we support them all the time. Enochlau 21:23, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
      • I still expect a featured pic to be reasonably legible when reduced (I do not expect a panorama to be reduced at the same width as most other pictures), and I,m sorry to say I don,t find it legible much. Circeus 23:30, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
        • Support. Full of detail and good colour scheme. Enochlau 05:31, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I like the image, but all the red text is a bit distracting. I think it would be better with just a handful of very significant buildings and landmarks. --CVaneg 00:32, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Support! Simply gorgeous. Author should be promoted to Wikipedia's offical city map maker ;). Junes 20:02, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Neutral Good at full size, but I find it overly busy as a thumbnail. Circeus 23:30, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • support Great job --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 16:55, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support Maganda! --Chris 08:31, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Some images work better in the thumbnail, some work better at full size. Ideally we look at how well an image illustrates its article, and this one does a good job. I'm not sure why Image:Ph locator ncr manila.png is larger on the Manila page - I would increase the size of this map and reduce the size of the locator map. -- Solipsist 21:09, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment This pic would be good in large size but it's too confusing as a thumb. --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 07:07, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Like usual I just don't like maps/charts as FP's. I don't find it striking in any particular way whatsoever. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 03:32, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
    • FPC is for pictures, diagrams and maps. Maps may not be as flashy but they can be just as informative. and I Support This link is Broken 13:02, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Support - It's a very skilfully drawn map, and it looks great at full size. (Donovan|Geocachernemesis|Interact) 02:46, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
