While the map you added to Indiana Territory is in general a welcome addition, I have a few quibbles with some inaccuracies. I've described them a bit more in detail at Talk:Indiana Territory. Cheers. older ≠ wiser 14:34, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I just saw your Gascony map. The area you have highlighted as Gascony is too large, it includes areas that are not part of Gascony. Gascony does not extend beyond the Garonne river, so you should change the color of all territories east and north of the Garonne river. At the level of Toulouse, the border of Gascony is located approximately 15 miles west of the Garonne river. In the north the area of Bordeaux is included in Gascony by some people, but other consider that the area of Bordeaux is Guienne, distinct from Gascony. In the south, it is debatable whether the areas of Biarritz, Pau, Tarbes, and Luchon are part of Gascony. I suggest hachured green, rather than plain green, for these areas. Hardouin 11:17, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
The new map is much better, however I still see the following problems:
This map ( [1]) is very good and reflects all the four points I have mentioned above. There is only one problem with this map, the south-east border: look carefully on the map, between the Arize River (south of Toulouse) and Toulouse, I think it is incorrect to show the eastern bank of the Garonne as part of Gascony. What I would do: I would use the Garonne as the border all the way south to half way between the Arize river the Salat river, then from there I would run a line parallel these two rivers, right in the middle between these two rivers, till I reach a point half way between the town of St-Girons and the town of Foix, then from this point due south to the Spanish border. Do you follow me?
I also suggest some more minor changes:
Finally, there is the problem: where to start the hachured area in the south. Here use this map ( [2]), the northern borders of départements 64 and 65 should be the limit between plain and hachured (except the sort of finger in the north west of département 65 which should be plain). Then for département 31 it's even more complicated. What I would do is I would use plain color from west to east till I reach a line about 15 miles west of the Garonne river, then hachured from this line to the Garonne river. This applies only south of Toulouse. North of Toulouse it is plain all the way till the Garonne.
Complicated isn't it? Let me know what you come up to. Hardouin 17:31, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
File:TempGasc.PNG Maybe the limit would be even closer to the Garonne river. I'm not sure exactly how large is 15 miles on your map. Hardouin 17:47, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Your historic regions maps are BEAUTIFUL. Keep up the great work!!!! jengod 00:05, 28 February 2006 (UTC)</nowiki>

Could you create a map for the Thirteen Colonies, like the U.S. territory maps you did? Rmhermen 15:49, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I'm from Indonesia, and I want to make several maps about Indonesian regency division map as well as its locator map. I know little about ESRI's ArcView, but I have no idea about an artistic map :) Could you help me please to make a BEAUTIFUL map? If so, what should I do? What kind of materials shall I send to you? Thanks before. Wic2020 05:11, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello, fellow UW Wikipedian. I see that you know some Spanish and that you like to make maps, so I thought, why not ask you to make a map for a page that I created ( Linguistic history of Spanish). It has some nifty charts, but as yet, no pictures or maps. I'd like to show the spread of Castilian through the Iberian Peninsula. Let me know if you're up to the challenge. And hey, now that school's out, maybe it'll be a fun summer project.-- Hraefen 20:36, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
In my search for a skilled Wikipedian Cartographer your user name has come up many times. I was wondering if you would be interested in a map of the State of Alaska and the Territory of the Yukon together as if they were one unit. It would not have to be anything fancy just an image of all of Alaska and Yukon together as one shaded unit. I am not sure if it is possible to show everything but if it were possible that would be awesome. Thank you. Emperor 03:20, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the boundary between Wisconsin Territory and the UP, I left comments at Talk:Wisconsin Territory and on the map's Image talk page. The boundaries between Wisconsion Territory and the UP as defined in the act establishing Wisconsin Territory were pretty much the same as the current boundaries. There was some dispute over precisely which waterway was meant in that act, but that was not settled until much later than 1837. older ≠ wiser 18:36, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Is it possible to create a map with gradiated fill, with certain areas being 100% fill (0% transparency) melting away to other areas that are 0% fill (100% transparency), maybe in 20% gradiation intervals? If so, I do have 4(?) map requests covering the years 1763-1825. If this is possible, the description I have in mind might be lengthy and quite complicated, where e-mail exchange might work better than here. The coverage area would be northern Louisiana Purchase, southern Rupert's Land, Northwest Territory and the British Province of Quebec, covering areas of contemporary British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. CJLippert 16:08, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
First of all, thank you very much for your great mapwork. I ran into a problem, though - I can't find any source online that corroborates your map of Arkansas Territory saying it was reduced in 1824. What was your source for this? I need it for my Territorial evolution of the United States, which relied heavily on your maps. :) -- Golbez 01:07, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I work on the french Wikipédia and I came here by curiosity yesterday. I have seen your map of Gascony, and there is a little mistake. The "Médoc" [3] is a part of Gascony, and your map stops near Bordeaux. I mean, the land on the west of the "Gironde" is a part of Gascony. Could you do something to correct your map? Thanks a lot Matthieu 87.88.248.33 19:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
