RE: Canada maps

Thanks for your praise. I usually upload images to Wikipedia more for ease, but I should make more of a habit to upload them to the commons instead. If you've also uploaded them to the commons, you might want to add links for each to the other.

Similarly, I used CorelDraw to draw/adapt the maps and the Humanst 777 font family for text on them. And while I'm not fluent in Finnish, it might be easier for me to adapt the map for your purpose; this would take me a while, though. Make sense? Thanks again.

Hey there ... based on the information you've provided, no problem: I'll do it. Why reinvent the wheel? Give me a few days. :) E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 14:59, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again! I hope you're well. I'm working on the maps now and should have them ready soon. Conducive to that, there is actually one more map – a deluxe geopolitical map (with rivers, smaller islands etc.); given its detail, this map is a basis for the others. To that end, would you be so kind as to provide translations for those terms that you didn't previously translate too? Thanks! E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 22:30, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pleased to present you with the fruits of my labour; thanks for your patience:

commons:Image:Kanada poliittinen kartta FI.png – political map (duplicate of commons:Image:Political map of Canada.png)
commons:Image:Kanada poliittinen maantiede kartta FI.png – geopolitical map (duplicate of commons:Image:Geopolitical map of Canada.png)

Where translations weren't provided, I improvised ... don't ask me how. :)

When you get a few moments, I'd appreciate if you can peruse/proof these maps and notify me of necessary changes. As well, I'd appreciate if you can provide translations for terms on the third – and most detailed – map (link above).

Let me know what you think. Thanks again for this opportunity! E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 19:02, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Thanks for your note and praise; I appreciate it and I'm glad to assist. I will update the maps and upload revised ones shortly. Two quick questions:

(1) Is Saari capitalised for Prince Edward Island, as (in English) it forms part of the formal name?

(2) Is there no translation for river? Cry Me A River? ;)

Ta! E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 11:47, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've reuploaded revised versions of the first two maps ... I think they're good! I'm also pleased to have uploaded the deluxe/detailed geopolitical map:

commons:Image:Kanada poliittinen maantiede kartta+FI.png – geopolitical map (duplicate of Image:Map Canada political+geo.png)

I tend to not use hyphens unless absolutely necessary (since space on the map is in relative abundance); you will only find one instance of hyphenation in the geopolitical map above.

Anyhow, please peruse and letmeknowwhatyathink! E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 05:55, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! I'm glad you like the maps and thanks for your help with them.

Upon request, I recently created a map of Norway, stylistically similar to the maps of Canada (above). (If you have any feedback on that map as well, please provide.) I note this to you because I was wondering if you;d like me to create similar maps of Finland, in English and or Finnish? If so, give me a week or two.

Anyhow, let me know and thanks again! E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 02:59, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
