Lack of notability?

I can find no actual use of, or indeed, commentary on this projection outside of Wikipedia or its mirrors, but for the and only URL that is cited by this article. In particular, it is not present in the large collection of projections coded and maintained at http://www.remotesensing.org/proj/. mdf 17:55, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

File:Bottomley projection SW.JPG to appear as POTD

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Bottomley projection SW.JPG will be appearing as picture of the day on June 19, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-06-19.
