•  Oppose Interrupted boundaries are a big no for what should be some of this site's best maps. --SHB2000 (talk) 13:22, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

  You are of course entitled to your opinion, but I'd like to point out that cartographically speaking there's nothing wrong in principle with occasionally cutting through the neatline to include relevant features. That has been done for hundreds of years now.

  In this specific case, I'm not sure if doing so was a good idea. But I feel like it could have been implemented a bit more ... neatly. El Grafo (talk) 14:26, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

  Fair – normally, I find that as a general rule of thumb, if there is something that needs to be cut through the neatline, then the map should be extended. That's what I'd consider a good map, let alone one of the site's best. --SHB2000 (talk) 10:14, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Question Why are there question marks on the map? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:55, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

  All toponyms that are written with a question mark are known toponyms, the accurate location of which has not been reliably established. Пётр Тарасьев (talk) 06:22, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

• Is that explained in Russian on the map? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:42, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

  this is explained by punctuation Пётр Тарасьев (talk) 14:21, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

• Do you mean the question marks themselves? If so, no, it doesn't. My first thought was that the names of the places in question are uncertain, not the locations. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:40, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

  I understand your complaint, I will correct it Пётр Тарасьев (talk) 02:54, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

  I read the rules and it says that during the nomination you cannot change the image, I will change it later Пётр Тарасьев (talk) 13:37, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Question Which rules are those? Images are routinely changed during nominations; it's just that all voters have to be pinged if the changes are significant. But please tell me how you plan to address this issue. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:01, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

  in the "abbreviations" section I will add a question mark and an explanation to it Пётр Тарасьев (talk) 07:23, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

  changed the file - look "for reference" Пётр Тарасьев (talk) 07:36, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Support I can't read Russian, but I see a name with a question mark after it in the legend. It's interesting that when I wanted to look at this file at full size, it defaulted to 30%. I wonder if that's happening to other people, but it's something to be aware of. This map is more wowy at full size. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:35, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

  ctrl + mouse wheel Пётр Тарасьев (talk) 09:13, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

• I got to 100% a different way: by noticing the 30% default and clicking on it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:26, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Have to confess that I would be much more happy if the city and place names were just in the original ancient Greek – I never understand why people “translate” ancient place names to English, German, Russian, etc. But the map itself is excellent, and it’s a great achievement that we finally get more and more good vector (SVG) maps. --Aristeas (talk) 07:10, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

  Thank you very much) I have distant plans to do it in Ancient Greek and Latin Пётр Тарасьев (talk) 13:29, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

  Ah, nice to hear that! Well, probably it’s a good idea to use your own language (or another widespread language) while working on the map. When the map is (almost) perfect, translating it to other languages (like Greek and Latin) is easier. So you did it right. --Aristeas (talk) 07:14, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

  By the way, Latin names are almost entirely used in English Пётр Тарасьев (talk) 10:28, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Oppose Why Russian? Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:18, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

• Charlesjsharp, that is not a valid reason to oppose. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:02, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

• I think it is. Why would we want to feature a map of Greece in Russian? Ancient or Modern Greek would be logical. English also. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:56, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

• What other languages with over 100 million speakers are OK to you? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:28, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

• I think that the objection was intented to be: Why featuring a map of Ancient Greece in Russian and not in ancient Greek? --Harlock81 (talk) 11:13, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

  So that people in Russia can read it and learn something without needing to know Ancient Greek? BigDom (talk) 13:07, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

  Sorry, maybe I was misunderstood. featuring = appointing as featured image. --Harlock81 (talk) 15:19, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
