[edit] Error

Sorry, my error, I saw the 1 pixel image size change, and thought it was someone testing, stupidly didn't realise that I was taking the image out, jimfbleak 06:55, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merci-Nauru Map

Thank you for creating the map. Je parle le francais au niveau intermediate, mais je ne sais pas si j'ai le niveau de faire un propre translation. I'll see what I can do to get a translation, but thank you again for your hard work. Bobo is soft 02:21, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi again, I just downloaded Inkscape. I saved the file as a .png, how do I select the french text in the image without having to delete and paste over it? Bobo is soft 02:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm having trouble uploading the map properly. I upload it, but it shows the map with my titles but not the original ones you put on the map. How do I fix this or merge all the layers in inkscape? Thank you. See here [1] Bobo is soft 05:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Caption

Do you mean the key or the caption of the image? The caption of the image says "Map of the Near East: A Thousand B.C. Green: State of King of David and Solomon (1006 - 926 B.C.)" LeszekB 01:39, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

The key:

  • Middle East
  • Israeli State 926
  • Judai State 926
  • Dependent areas 1006-926
  • -Neighbouring states
  • -Names of Israeli tribes
  • -State capital
  • -Other cities
  • -Rivers
  • -Lakes


Most of the names on the map are basically just the same as in English just with Polish-sounding. There's no real direct translation of them. LeszekB 02:06, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Catalan Atlas

Hi, I noticed today that on 24 March you tagged Catalan Atlas as a copyright violation from this website. It has since been deleted. My languages skill are not good enough to translate the original website, which I am assuming is in Catalan, but they are good enough to make me curious as to why you consider this a copyright violation. It seems to me that the differences in the text are significant enough for the wikipedia article to not be considered a translation. (A copy of the version you tagged can be found here I will be deleting this copy when this discussion is ended). Some specific concerns are as follows:

  • The first sentence of the Wikipedia article contains the date 1375 which does not apear in the original document.
  • The first sentence of the original document mentions the "Biblioteca Nacional de París". which I assume is the "Bibliothèque nationale de France, which is not mention in the WP article"
  • In the first sentence of the second paragraph of the original article, it apears that the subject of the sentence is "La documentación", which I take to mean something like "The documentation" or "The archives" there is no similiar sentence in the WP article.
  • The second paragraph of the original article mentions"Carlos VI, Rey de Francia", who I assume is Charles VI of France The WP article does not mention a Carlos or Charles.
  • The same sentence that mentions Carlos VI mentions the date 1381, which does not occur in the WP article.
  • The dates 1387 and 1389 are mentioned the origianal document, but not the WP article.
  • The dimensions of the Atlas are given as 64 X 50cm in the original article and 65 X 50 cm in the WP article.
  • The introduction to the WP article states "It is considered the master work of the 14th Mallorcan cartographic school, and one of the finest works in medieval cartography." I can find know similiar sentence in the Original document. (i.e. one that mentions the 14th century, cartography and medieval, words that I assume I can recognize in the original)

There are more, but I think that this illustrates the point. I recognize that the original document and the WP article seem to share a common structure, but I question whether this is enough to trigger a copyright violation. My language skills are not strong enough to translate the original document, so I can't really tell how close the two are, so I may be wrong and they may be a copyright violation of each other, I just would like to be certain.

After a message from the admin who deleted this, I am convinced that the article probably had significant copyright violations. I will use the old version to write a copyright free version. Sorry to bother you. (By the way, the link I gave you to the text of the article doesn't work anymore, I've deleted that copy.) Dsmdgold 20:52, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question

I am not. Thank You for the offer to translate my articles, your massage sounds like translated from French. Shoteh (talk) 22:26, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I did link the articles to the French version, so I would ask you to fix the French, and not delete it meantime, othewise the links would be useless. Shoteh (talk) 22:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank You Shoteh (talk) 22:42, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
