This article had used the map at Image:Vanisle.png. I've replaced it with Image:Vancouver-island-relief.jpg. Kbh3rd 02:30, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Image:Vancouver-island-relief.jpg is an attractive map. And I would like to learn how it was made. But, in some ways it is not as useful as it could be. In particular, it hides some important details. It hides the deep inlet that Port Alberni lies at the base of. It hides that Nootka Sound, the location of the Nootka Sound Controversy, which lead to the Nootka Convention, is an island.
Confession, I have played with that map-making tool, and made the map of Vancouver Island that I uploaded today, before I noticed that the article already had a map. Maybe an article should only have one map? I am just a beginner here. I don't know. But the one I made is only 13K, less than a tenth as much to download as the relief map.

- Let's move discussion of the relief map's shortcomings to its own talk page. I've made a note there. As far as the two maps, I don't think that the two there now are complementary – they're rather redundant. As discussed on the map's talk page, I'll see about improving the relief map. --Kbh3rd 23:38, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Population
Anyone willing to do a section on population (i.e., major centres)? I did one on geography today. Fishhead64 19:38, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Airports
Vancouver Island has some airports. Maybe that can be added to transportation? --a.n.o.n.y.m t 03:56, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "National Maps?"
The National Maps show a nation of Vancouver consisting of the island and the mainland coastal regions from Queen Charlotte Sound to Cape Flattery
What reference is this? I've seen "Wakish Nation" for Vancouver Island, but never a nation of "Vancouver". What year was this map? "National Maps" - what are these? Cloest I can think of here is the old Vancouver (electoral district), the original Vancouver Island riding (outside of Victoria; actually the first was the protem Vancouver Island (electoral district) at the time of Confederation, in which seats were filled with byelections; the seat with shortened name filled in the 1872 election.)Skookum1 22:50, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
