Changing maps
[edit]Please do not make significant changes to existing maps, like you have done – and undone and done and undone – at File:Far east1.png. The problem is that such a map may be used in articles all over Wikipedia, and it is not certain that your new version is suitable in all of the articles using the file. In some cases it may even be erronous. If you want to make a map that differs significantly from the existing map, you will have to upload it separately under a new title. The repeated flip-flopping of versions can turn out to be very confusing in other parts of Wikipedia. Regards! --TU-nor (talk) 08:30, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- This is now getting serious. You have to stop your incessant changing of maps. Both the two maps you have been changing back and forth the last days, File:Northern-Europe-map.svg and File:Europe North-European countries map.png are in use in different Wikis, and for both maps there are articles where your addition of other countries is not only questionable, but plain wrong. As I told you above, If you want to make a map that differs significantly from the existing map, you will have to upload it separately under a new title. --TU-nor (talk) 11:51, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
