Your work is great.
I'm an amateur cartographer with a very special niche: maps of artificial whitewater slalom courses. As far as I can tell, the only other people who do this are the architects who design and build the courses, and their work is rarely available and never released to the public domain. I work mainly from satellite photos and pictures people post on Flicker and the like. I upload the maps to Wikimedia for use with articles which I mostly start and write. As a professional cartographer, could you take a look at some of my maps and offer your wisdom? (I live in the Washington DC area and would like to attend your periodic Wikipedia cartographer meetings.)
All of my maps are attached to articles in this list: List of artificial whitewater courses. The best ones are: Lee Valley White Water Centre, U.S. National Whitewater Center, Pau-Pyrénées Whitewater Stadium, & Adventure Sports Center International.

I see you've done a number of eastern shore river maps, and I would appreciate it if you could provide one for the Honga River. Thanks in advance, Mangoe ( talk) 14:58, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Kmusser, I just looked again at your work : really impressive ! You made so many GREAT maps in 2 years, astonishing. Yug (talk) 17:51, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi Kmusser,
I am writing a thesis using your map of Pearl River in China. As there is a minimum requirement on the resolution of figures, I am wondering if you could kindly send me the GIS data of the river?
Thank you very much.

Hello Kmusser,
I am a student and I am considering the Ohio River Basin as a study area for research. I am also interested in the counties in that area. If possible, may I use your Ohio River Basin + county map GIS data for research?
I would truly appreciate this. Thank you for posting at the very least!

Hi. When you recently edited List of wadis of Djibouti, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lake Assal ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Karl,
Your map of the dams on the Columbia River is great. Would you mind if I used it in my presentation for my Masters oral defense? With credit, of course. I'm studying the influence of hydroelectric dams on amphibians and reptiles.
Apologies if I'm not using your talk page correctly. I created a wikipedia account simply to contact you.
Cheers. Sirtalis ( talk) 18:48, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Could you update the maps of Panama, Bogota and Fort Lauderdale? All these airports include significant changes, new routes and some routes terminated. Thanks for your work and collaboration Luisfege ( talk) 21:58, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Wanted to say thanks for your remarkably clear watershed maps where the information is presented in a manner that makes it extremely easy for the viewer to grasp and retain. The Colorado and Snake river maps, for example, are models of clarity and utility. These maps and the others like them have been a big help to me in my attempts to better understand the geography of the United States. As far as requests go, I could easily make a dozen of them, but I was wondering if it would be possible for you to create higher resolution versions of some of your earlier maps - I'm thinking of the Hudson/Mohawk and Delaware maps in particular. Thanks again for your great work. Obo ( talk) 18:41, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, you request maps to improve the quality of this article but there are already two maps. Can you please clarify what you need? :) -- Rskp ( talk) 06:47, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

I am very impressed with your vast collection of maps. One little typo I noticed: On the Fort Lauderdale Airport route map, there is a dot for Niagra Falls Airport (IAG), but there is no code for it on the map. other than that, your map is very good. Meff56 ( talk) 05:33, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
I saw your work on the Maps request page, but it seems a bit dead there. I was wondering if you could help me with a map of Timbuktu. That article has been in need of a good city map for over 2 years. We can work from the OpenStreetMap data that I already edited. I put a request at another map maker as well. What do you think? Cheers, Pim Rijkee ( talk) 17:19, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Getting the map on blob's Park setup in the Infobox. It looks so easy when you did it. It was sooooo painful when I was trying. Again, thank you. LarryGrim ( talk) 16:40, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Backstage at the Smithsonian Libraries is part of Wikipedia Loves Libraries 2012, the second annual continent-wide campaign to bring Wikipedia and libraries together with on-site events. Running this fall through October and November, libraries (and archives) will open their doors to help build a lasting relationship with their local Wikipedian community.
Organized by Wikimedia DC, this event will take place on October 12, 2012, and will include new editor training, a "backstage pass" tour of the National Museum of Natural History, and an edit-a-thon. Everyone is welcome to attend!
