[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yerzhan Ashykbayev
Hi, if you have the time I would like your input on whether to delete the article on Yerzhan Ashykbayev, the Foreign Ministry spokesman of the Government of Kazakhstan. Thanks, KazakhPol 18:39, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, sorry I've been off wikipedia for a while....the article looks like it's already gone.

[edit] Fix the SADR Map
The map of countries recognizing SADR is way too complex. Wikipedia suers should be able to tell at a glance which countries recognize SADR and which don't.
Here is my idea:
Western Sahara should be colored black; countries recognizing SADR should be colored green; non-recognizing countries should be left gray.
Simple. Efficient. Useful. 141.166.230.9 (talk) 04:11, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- I welcome all readers to make any appropriate changes to the map themselves. If you feel that you can make a simpler and more instructive map, then please feel free to do so. Thanks. Konchevnik81 (talk) 22:17, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- You made the map you should be the one to fix it. You know or should know most users don't know how to fix maps. If you didn't want to have to ever fix the map, you shouldn't have produced it in the first place. 141.166.230.9 (talk) 00:15, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- This is not a private website. The map has been released into the public domain. Other maps that I have created and released into the public domain have been edited by users, like here. Likewise, I have made edits to maps created by others, as here.When a person contributes to wikipedia, they do not "own" a map or an article - if others wish to make reasonable changes, they can make those changes themselves. If you would like to make a change, I would recommend that you register as a wikipedia user and learn how to change images (it's not difficult, you can use a simple program like Microsoft Paint). I am not aware that "most" users cannot edit maps - they have the responsibility to learn to make changes themselves! Good luck with your editing. Konchevnik81 (talk) 16:42, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Oh I'm not claiming you have a legal responsibility, that you own the map. No, I am claiming that you have a moral responsibility - that is logical that you improve the map since you made it in the first instance. As for learning to fix maps, I have made a simple edit request; clearly you are too offended by the idea that your map is ineffective to actually consider that that is actually the case. 141.166.224.83 (talk) 14:52, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- And just for some comparison on this point, consider: Kosovo recognition map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:CountriesRecognizingKosovo.png versus SADR recognition map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Foreign_relations_of_the_SADR.PNG ....which is more helpful to users, which is more readable? The answer is Kosovo. 141.166.224.83 (talk) 14:55, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- No worries, I'm not offended at all! But quite frankly, this map was a passing interest of mine, rather than personal project or a professional specialty. I respect your edit request, but like I wrote earlier wikipedia is supposed to be a collaborative enterprise, rather than a blog or a personal website, I would much rather that someone else take up the task of editing the map, and perhaps finding objective online material on the subject (rather than Moroccan or Polisario bulletins...doesn't MINURSO have a list somewhere?). Many hands make light work. I suggest that we make a general request to other users. Thanks. Konchevnik81 (talk) 19:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SADR map
Hello I would be happy to assist you, but I am opposed to the changes that you want to make. Consequently, you can see how I will not be making them myself. You do not need any special software; just any image-editor that understands the filetype. I suggest you also take a look at Wikipedia:How to edit a page because you are creating incorrect links (see my talk page.) If you need more assistance, please let me know. -Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:51, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
