You're letting your ego get in the way of a good article again, Demi. It is common practice in cartography to exaggerate small ranges on world maps when they would not be seen otherwise. The w:Bat ray world map you created shows nothing at the scale used in the article. With my map, the article was front page news, but not with the goofy grey thing you have there now. --Jamal al din 20:04, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- Well, I did ask a few other people which map visually they liked better, and they felt the black-and-pink-crystal didn't look very good. However, if you want to recreate it with a correct range, that's fine with me. Obviously any such range is exaggerated seaward, but it should not extend north of Oregon; in particular, not into Puget Sound. Demi T/C 22:29, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
I like the black and pink map because it is easier to see as a thumbnail, although the grey map is similar to many wikipedia maps, sort of like an unwritten standard map. But it would probably be better to crop either of them to show only the Americas, because showing the rest of the world isnt necessary for this. Astrokey44 23:27, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
