Water: 0 km²

I've tagged it as disputed because Pedra de Lume#Geography describes a salt lake on Sal Island. —rybec 02:43, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've since found these:

Los Angeles Times article saying "No lakes or rivers, and almost no rain. One fact sheet on Cape Verde reads: 'Natural bodies of water: 0%'"
United Nations publication which says
There are no lakes of any size. [...] Most islands possess short streams up to 15 km long, which can remain dry for several years. [...] There are no large reservoirs. [...] There are no coastal lagoons.

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] news stories about the Poilão Dam and other dams —rybec 09:54, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A request on the creation of the location map of Santiago, Cape Verde and some other islands on the Commons page.

A request needs to be made on creating a location map photo of the island of Santiago in Cape Verde and could fit in a square format, in a map picture in a square fits in areas dominated by water. The map is to use World Data Base II data (also as World Database No. II data), uncertain there is a World Data Base Number III data.

Some map photos at tables of articles of stadiums even on the island on the English Wikipedia has been added, already I added on two pages of museums map location of the island.

Here is the additions I have put, and example of the coordinates are to be fit in a square:

Equirectangular projection. Geographic limits of the map:

N: 17.4° N
S: 14.6° N
W: 25 9° W
E: 22.3° W

The map photo will have the municipal boundaries, another one will have protected areas. It will also has the main routes of the island, those part of the national highway network and the Assomada-Rincão Road.

Move the additions I made on a section of this page to the file titled Santiago, Cape Verde locator map.

In twelve days after I put it on the category's talk page of Santiago Cape Verde on Wikipedia, little discussion has been made. I put this on the Wikipedia page but upload it only on the Commons page and the map is even shown here on Wikipedia. I even put this on this discussion page to get a wider perspective for an acceptance of uploading the island's map used for one example: stadiums and museums with tables marking the actual location of it at a closer location. Today, I added some map photos to ports and fortresses.

Also, add another location map photo for the island of São Vicente on Commons and in a square format as it fits in the area dominated by water. Another one is to made for the islands of Fogo (with one boundary showing that Achada Furna is mapped in Santa Catarina do Fogo), São Vicente with Santa Luzia and Sal.

I put the nowiki templates on the Location map part on the display portion for the Commons page.

Thanks for this.
