Info Not only is this map visually interesting as it is signed by Sykes and Picot a few days before the Sykes-Picot Agreement was ratified, but the map's historical implications are discussed more in the disertation "Cartographic constructions of the Middle East" By Karen Culcasi (see page 104).

im sorry to interrupt but, i would like to be sure. did you prepare this map by yourself? or did you take picture of an original map?--Gomada (talk) 10:07, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I took the liberty and corrected the "created" field. --ELEKHH^T 21:38, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support ++. Very high historical value. Very useful. One of the basis or sources of the topical middle east problems. Should be known by everybody who try to understand what happens here (even now). Good technical quality. Thanks for uploading.--Jebulon (talk) 14:45, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Indeed high educational value: blue is mine, red is yours, when in power all you need is a basemap and a pencil ;). I added to the description, maybe a French version would be nice as well. Also I think the image could do with a crop on the left. --ELEKHH^T 21:31, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- If anyone knows an editor with Arabic, French, Kurdish or Turkish language skills who can add descriptions, I would be most grateful if you could ask them to do so. --Gavin Collins (talk) 21:57, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Im Kurdish, i can help about description in kurdish. Btw, i asked question above, because mountains and rivers (in kurdistan) have written with arabic or turkish translation (dagh, jebel etc).--Gomada (talk) 21:03, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - I've corrected the french version. Sounds more "french" now. I'll manage to do the same for the french related article in WP, which is not very good...--Jebulon (talk) 23:45, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support - because it's like I'm looking at the map in person. -- One, please. ( _{^{Thank you.}}) 16:04, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
