If you want a grunty task that is cross-border (though Canada is where all the water comes from), here's one from my "will never get around to" list: in the featured article Columbia River#Irrigation is a map showing the major dams in the Columbia watershed. It's original purpose was in a different article I believe, where the location of every dam was shown. This map (IMO) needs a forked version for the Columbia River article, with all the axtra dots removed so that only the numbered dams are shown. All this will do is declutter and simplify the map, so it's not a huge issue - but it is a FA, so might be worth the effort. I discussed this with Mr. Map ( User:Kmusser) long ago and I have a parent version in .ai format to work from if you ping me an email. I only know a tiny bit of Photoshop, I think I'd try the heal tool and the sample thingie. Franamax ( talk) 20:46, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
I thought you said you are in Edmonton, did you not notice the missing freeway in south east Edmonton? Also there is Ray Gibbon Drive to St. Albert, and the png has streets on the river. 117Avenue ( talk) 05:10, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
1. Does every street need to be represented? In my map most minor streets (like your residential ones) aren't shown but important roads like whyte, Jasper, 111ave, 118ave, 137Ave, 127St, etc etc etc are. I decided initally to take this route to minimize clutter and keep the file size down (currently about 1.5MB)
2. Does the file need the creek names? I can't think of any more important Q's right now but let me know, if the answer to both questions are "no" then the file is pretty much ready and I am just tweaking the colors. a bit. Magu ( talk) 06:46, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
From what data sources did you create the arterial roads, highways, river, and boundaries for Edmonton, Sherwood Park, and St. Albert? From GIS data, map digitizing, or other? Hwy43 ( talk) 06:21, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Your upload of File:Canadian Forces Maritime Command Emblem.svg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.
This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Canadian Forces Maritime Command Emblem.svg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 15:42, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
