[edit] Democratic Primary Poll Map

A tag has been placed on Image:Democratic presidential primary.gif, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

This image if a gif. It violates wikipedia's copyright policy. The information in it is out of date. There is an up-to-date, GDFL, png version here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Democratic_presidential_primary.png that is being used instead.

Thanks for creating the great primary opinion poll map! I have been working to keep it up to date. Unfortunatly, it turns out the portrait of Barack Obama you used is copyrighted. Also, .gif is a discouraged format on wikipedia. One other thing, when you shrunk the map, the borders of the states got blurry. That made it hard to change color of a state when a new poll came out. I used a program called GIMP, which is free, to make all the borders distinct. I've uploaded a version in .png (whatever that is) with the latest numbers. It's at Image:Democratic_presidential_primary.png. To keep edges from blurring, try shrinking things in a program that allows you to turn anti-aliasing off. Keep up the great wikiïng!!!
