Replace low-contrast images

I will be replacing images on the various map projection pages. Presently many are on a satellite composite image from NASA that, while realistic, poorly demonstrates the projections because of dark color and low contrast. I have created a stylization of the same data with much brighter water areas and a light graticule to contrast. See the thumbnail of the example from another article. Some images on some pages are acceptable but differ stylistically from most articles; I will replace these also.

The images will be high resolution and antialiased, with 15° graticules for world projections, red, translucent equator, red tropics, and blue polar circles.

Please discuss agreement or objections over here (not this page). I intend to start these replacements on 13 August. Thank you. Strebe (talk) 22:35, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:Behrmann projection SW.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Behrmann projection SW.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on October 16, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-10-16. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:46, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

The Behrmann projection is a cylindrical map projection created by Walter Behrmann in 1910. It is equal-area, but distortion of shape increases with distance from the standard 30° parallels. Scale is true along the standard parallels. This projection is not equidistant.Map: Strebe, using Geocart

Proposal: merge to cylindrical equal-area projection

I think readers of this article would benefit from the context provided at cylindrical equal-area projection (and more context which could be provided if that article were further expanded), but independently from that subject, it doesn’t seem to me like there’s enough specific material here to warrant a separate article. Thus I am proposing merging this and a few similar stubs into that article. See the discussion I started there. –jacobolus (t) 21:49, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
