I am somewhat afraid about the NPOVness of this map... Why there is a subnational boundary dividing Serbia and Vojvodina and there is no such boundary between Serbia and Montenegro in now-renamed Federal Republic of Yugoslavia? (I use the old name only because I cannot remember the current name at the moment) or between the Republika Srpska and Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Bosnia and Herzegovina? There could be such a boundary between Greece and Mount Athos, or between Serbia/Montenegro and Kosovo too. Can somebody remove the Vojvodina boundary or add all other possible subnational boundaries, please? Optim 03:58, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)

If you mean the grey lines, those are rivers I believe. See Image:Europe-large.png. There unfortunately seems to be only one other such line that is visible in this map (namely in Romania), but even this one is grey on grey. If it is a problem, however, it can be removed.

If it is a river, I think that it would be better either to remove it or add all other major rivers in the Southeastern European ("Balkan") area. One may very easily mistake it for a subnational boundary, as I did. Optim 10:08, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I hope this is better; should the bigger image, where rivers in Romania are also visible, also be changed, or perhaps removed altogether (it isn't really needed I don't think)? Sinuhe 14:15, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Good work! The removal of country names were also a good move towards NPOVness. For Image:Europe-large.png, it is not necessary to remove the rivers since no one can mistake them for subnational boundaries. Optim 19:35, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)
While the removal of the country names was probably a good idea, it now makes for a less useful map — there's no way to tell which regions correspond to which places without consulting another...map. Perhaps we could stick numbers on it, and explain in the caption / legend what they correspond to? — Matt 00:25, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
