Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/National Grid square TF at 1 in 250 000 scale.jpg

Reason: A 1:250 000 map recently released under the OS OpenData initiative. The map illustrates the design of maps produced by the Ordnance Survey, and provides a practical example of the nature of the grid system on which virtually all OS maps are based. The MediaWiki software cannot create thumbnails of large PNG images, so this picture is presented in JPG format. A PNG version is linked to from the image page.

Support Not really a lot to say about this... It's high in EV, a high quality image, no noticable errors or issues... Would prefer it to be of where I live, but that's just being fussy! hehe Gazhiley (talk) 13:14, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Just a quick check on licencing, OS OpenData licence states it can be distributed under CC-Attribution 3.0 licence. Here on Wikipedia, this is under CC-BY-SA 3.0 - is this permitted? And if so, what the reason behind not matching up with the licence the OS have specified? AlexJ (talk) 21:15, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite correct: I licensed them wrong. I've update the licenses on Commons to CC-BY-3.0. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 22:24, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Would a tiff file thumbnail correctly? Matthewedwards : Chat 18:51, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, but there is currently a discussion on Commons about enabling this function. One of the reasons why I wanted to post this here was because I wondered what people thought about the JPG format, and whether the quality of this picture could be improved.

Oppose not because it's not a valuable map (it is) but because a lot of the place name labels are cut off along the left or right side. No quorum. Spikebrennan (talk) 15:02, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not promoted - no quorum. --Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 13:25, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
