File talk:Soviet Union - Russian SFSR (1922).svg

Inaccurate

The Tajik, Turkmen, and Uzbek Republics are not shown as separate republics. Instead they are shown as still being part of Russia proper, which shouldn't be the case in 1936.

Since the three republics mention above had already been created in 1929, and 1924 (the latter two), respectively. TRAJAN 117 (talk) 15:25, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

From inaccurate to completely off mark

This was originally a map of the Soviet Union, not the Russian SFSR. By renaming the map (which also looks like a huge chunk of indistinguishable land mass) you are now depicting the Ukrainian SSR (1922 until the dissolution of the USSR), the Byelorussian SSR (1922 until the dissolution of the USSR), the Transcaucasian SFSR {1922 to 1936), and the Russian SFSR as if they were all the Russian SFSR! See the Treaty on the Creation of the USSR for details. We now have a mess on all of the articles this map is used on.

Please fix this ASAP! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:11, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

In my discussion someone left me a message saying that the map was wrong, because the missing of the republics of Central Asia (as TRAJAN 117 said above). I only rename the file based on the map File:SovietEvolution.png; I really don't see the problem in it. In 1922 Russia was almost the entire territory of the Soviet Union and therefore looks like a huge red stain on thumbnail of the image.

Respect the title, it clearly says Soviet Union - Russian SFSR, being the first part the name of the country and the second the name of the republic (my personal standard for this type of maps). In addition, the file was not created by me. --Shadowxfox (talk) 05:32, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Respect the title: try reading the date again and checking the respective pages it is being used on. It's intention is to depict Soviet Russia before the 1936 Soviet Constitution which reduced the size of Soviet Russia. That is how it is captioned on all the articles it's used in, the intention being to depict the creation of new republics representing the ethnic groups living there. Backdating it doesn't suddenly validate the inclusion of the regions that were never part of Soviet Russia. Please switch it back to pre-1936 and remove the regions that don't belong in it as per the IP's request if you wish to 'fix' it. Fiddling the dates doesn't suddenly make the land mass covered true or relevant. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 06:15, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Well, llet me tell you that people are giving misuse at this file. Neither the earlier date (before 1936 territorial changes) nor the image displayed are consistent with historical reality: In 1936 Russia did not include Central Asia, because since 1929 he had been segregated the Tajik, Turkmen and Uzbek republics. I created new maps that reflect these changes, choose one and replace it as more convenient:

• File:Soviet Union - Russian SFSR (1924).svg
• File:Soviet Union - Russian SFSR (1929).svg
• File:Soviet Union - Russian SFSR (1936).svg

The correct title certainly this file should be Soviet Union - Russian SFSR (1922) --Shadowxfox (talk) 20:35, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Would you please change it to that title, then (1922). I can replace and remove instances of the usage in English Wikipedia, and will try to do the same on other language Wikipedias using my global account where I can translate the text well enough to be confident of which version to use.

I'm still uncertain as to why you've block-coloured out the waterway features as I believe it makes it easier for the reader to identify the territory covered, particularly as it is used as a thumbnail. Thanks! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:11, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Done, now all maps have a standard title according to their year of existence. I hope I have helped. Respect to colors, is a standard that is followed in the various mapping workshops of wikipedia.--Shadowxfox (talk) 05:03, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your hard work, Shadowfox. Oh, and wishing you a Happy New Year! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:51, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
