Hi Gringer.
I enjoyed zooming in on your tree of life
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tree_of_life_with_genome_size.svg
I already knew that we're closely related to the chimps, but it's new to me that we're just as closely related to the rat and that even rice is a fairly close relative.

For puting the Che signature into a SVG format. Now I am trying to figure out how to replace all the jpg formats, for yours. Maybe it would easier if you uploaded it as your own file and used my full description? I'm not concerned with being given credit for the image.

- You can't replace a JPG file with an SVG, they're entirely different formats. I presume the requester at the graphics lab will deal with replacing the instances of the image. No doubt there's a bot available to do a blanket replacement if desired.

Hello Gringer, great work on the map of
Arab (& wider) protests
. There is a tiny discrepancy that makes the map look awkward, at the northern (disputed) border of
Western Sahara
. It looks like the border you drew was horizontal, but because you're not using a flat map projection, it needs to be slanted, with its left end moved more to the north. In other words, the right end of the border looks fine, but its left end looks too low, meeting the
Atlantic Ocean
somewhere south of
El Aaiun
, whereas it should be north of El Aaiun and closer to
Tarfaya
. I could try fixing the map myself but you probably have it open in an application so it'll be an easy change.
Just an observation, thank you for the map. ?

Indeed the image title is Arab world protests, but it is as of now being used to map out on the newly name-changed "MENA protests" article, for short, and should reflect that. Unless you want to change the file name. --

Hi Gringer,
Thank you for your Ring of fire map, by respect I want to use it in my non-fiction research book name: "Heaven Triangle"
Please Contact me at SH_M_Z@YAHOO.COM if you need to. I appereciate.
Shahrokh mohammadzadeh 2011-08-13
- Hi Shahrokh,
- You're very welcome to use the map. It's 'licenced' as PD, so you can do anything you want with it. Just bear in mind that while I made the base map as a derivative of one of my other maps, there have been a couple of other people who have annotated the map to actually be useful.

- What's wrong with using the German version? The only non-English in the diagram is 'Diederwinkel' (Dihedral angle), which is an addition of information beyond what I created (and could be easily be shifted to the image description without loss of usefulness).

Dear Gringer,
I am working with Prof. Steven LaValle to help obtain permissions for borrowing figures or pictures in his upcoming book Virtual Reality, to be published by Cambridge University Press. The book is online here:
http://vr.cs.uiuc.edu/
We are hoping to include the picture of yours (
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d9/Linear_visible_spectrum.svg
) in this book (Chapter 4, Figure 4.5). Could we please have your permission for this? Thank you.
Sincerely,
Adam Warkoczewski

- Yes, of course. If you read the license attached to the picture, you should be able to see that you already have permission for that; the picture is a public domain image: "use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law".

Hello Gringer! I wanted to let you know that I reverted
File:Guatemala (orthographic projection).svg
to its original version, per the discussion at
[2]
. Although we don't know the actual boundary that Guatemala is claiming yet (they will be presenting their claim at the ICJ later this year), we definitely know that it isn't the George Price Highway. I'm not sure how this idea got started that the George Price Highway is the boundary, but there is absolutely no basis in any reliable source for this (and it doesn't even make sense since the George Price Highway didn't exist until relatively recently). It seems to have originated with
this Commons map
created in 2016. Unfortunately, there are now half a dozen maps on Commons that have copied this bogus boundary, and media sources in both Guatemala and Belize are now reusing these incorrect maps, potentially creating circular referencing. As
you wrote back in 2018
, "Dispute boundaries are very tricky, because there are political implications for getting them wrong". In this case we have gotten them wrong and are inadvertently creating political consequences in the real world. Anyway, I'm sure I don't need to convince you of the importance of this issue. I just wanted to make you aware of why I reverted your work, since I'm sure that's aggravating. Otherwise, I think all the work you do on Commons is really top notch, so thank you for all the time you put into it.

- There are 2 likely possibilities for what Guatemala will officially claim:
- Regardless, the case is being heard by the ICJ this year and there is very little chance that Guatemala will be awarded any actual land territory in Belize (according to the few legal scholars that have weighed in on the matter), so we'll most likely need a map without the claimed territory anyway. My suggestion would be to create a new projection map for Guatemala that just shows Guatemala and use that for now. Once we know what boundary Guatemala is actually claiming (which should happen by July I think), make another map with the claimed territory and switch to that. We just shouldn't be speculating in the meantime, as Wikipedia is widely viewed as an authoritative source (for better or worse). The truth is that no one actually knows what territory Guatemala claims as they have always been intentionally vague about it, either saying that they claim Belize outright (which would be legally far-fetched), or that they claim the territory south of the Sarstoon River (which is very vague since the Sarstoon only goes half-way into Belize).

- That's correct. Highlighting any particular part of Belize (or all of Belize) would be speculation on our part until Guatemala actually makes a specific claim (which should happen later this year). So far, all we have are vague statements made by Guatemalan politicians.
