  •   Comment These images seem to give at least the feeling of being quicker to render when they have the applications namespaced instructions stripped from them; an exercise which depending on the complexity of the image can make the file size more than 2/3rds smaller without affecting the rendering of the image. -- carol 20:05, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The size has been improved of almost 5 MB to 800 kb, besides making changeable the labels, Thank you --libertad0 ॐ 18:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Comment - Nice map, this is a lot better than your previous nominations. I don't usually vote on maps but here are a couple of suggestions: (i) The symbol used for the scales of latitude and longitude, as well as for the graphic scale, is too heavy. Try something more discrete; (ii) The text fonts used for the geographic coordinates and for labelling the grid should be different in size and colour; (iii) There is little elevation information in the map, those area symbols are mainly decorative. Try to use denser hypsometric classes and/or elevation contours (not labeled this way); (iv) The map projection should be identified; (v) The symbol used to depict the main road is too heavy, try something more discrete; (vi) For this scale, much more topographic information should be provided: hydrography (rivers), natural land cover, ... -- Alvesgaspar 23:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose --Nice work but (i) there is a little error for the South 63°55´ longitude label (it is written 63°00´) ; (ii) the filling motive for LA ASUNCIÓN´s area is bugging on the full view ; (iii) at the level of Pta. Sabaneta (North of Juan Griego) is indicated a lake where there is a hill about 188 m high ; (iv) Isla los Frailes is misplaced (centre of the island at about 63°44'W) ; (v) at Isla los Frailes is showed one island where there are at least three other much bigger than other islets represented on the map ; (vi) the general shape of the elevation is correct but well much simplified in comparison to the coastlines ; (vii) the whole text has been transformed in paths which makes the file weight heavier and complicates the translation. (viii) In the description page, it is indicated that the map was drawn wandering around with a GPS. If I can imagine that this device was used for the roads, I hardly believe it was the case for the coastlines as well as the topography for which thousands and thousands of waypoints would have been necessary in order to draw the map the way it is, so I would like to have more details about the sources used.

The points (i),(ii),(iii) and (vii) have been corrected in the composition --libertad0 ॐ 18:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, but the still ~8 km misplaced island and the missing ones makes that imo the map should be first corrected before being featured. Btw, Alvesgaspar also made very meaningful remarks. Sting 22:18, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have used translating but I am not able to understand what tries to be --libertad0 ॐ 16:00, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In your map, Isla los Frailes is approximately placed at 63° 49' W while it should be 5' eastwards, at 63° 44' W. This makes a difference of about 8 km and places the island West of Punta Ballena instead of East where it is in fact. Zoom in this area with NASA World Wind (not Google Earth) and you will also see there are four other islands missing North of Isla los Frailes. Sting 19:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think that it could already be solved. Excuseme, would you Be able to revise it? --libertad0 ॐ 15:45, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support Is a good image. Daga 21:26, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support I think this is a good image. It has very good information. --Snakeyes 21:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support That's ok. I think that (viii) is innecesary to be featured. Libertad y Saber 21:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose - This time, and after the comments by Sting, I have to make an exception and strongly oppose the promotion. The main purpose of any map is to represent geographic information as accurately as possible; it is not enough to be beautiful or to have a "professional look". A map should be a tool we could trust. In this case, we have no guarantee of quality. On the contrary, the data sources are not identified and some gross mistakes were found by Sting. More latin american votes will not make it a better map. -- Alvesgaspar 00:04, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment I have not forced them to vote, it is your point of view and I respect it. But here it is spoken it is of the work and not of people that vote. The way like you say it it is racist --libertad0 ॐ 12:26, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
