[edit] maps

Hi,

i noticed your fine maps on the Greek-Italian war. If you make any further maps, could you please upload them on commons?

From commons, the wikipedias in all languages can use these maps as if they are present in the wiki.

thanks in advance,
Z.

[edit] Kashmir war maps

hi, the maps in First Kashmir War are good, but if possible can you change the colours used for the region of India and Pakistan to one of saffron and green respectively? The reason is to ensure NPOV. As it is it appears to show that the entire J&K region was an indian territory and that Pakistan intruded into Indian territory to take posession. This is objectionable from both parties since J&K region itself was disputed and still remains disputed. Thus if the countries India and Pakistan are shown in saffron and green - both colours regularly used by many maps to show their religious majorities, then I think the map will look more neutral.

On a similar note, don't you think that Aksai Chin should be given a different colour in the same maps created by you? after all it was and is disputed as to who actually inherited the land. Also labelling the countries as India and Pakistan will help those who have no knowledge on this subject matter. Idleguy 07:17, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
