Comment, could you provide more information on the map and its source? I think you should translate the original captions on the map in German to English.--Caspian blue 23:42, 15 July 2009 (UTC)--Caspian blue 23:42, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  - Ah, poor my English. I meant "translate captions appeared on the map", not German sources about the map.:)--Caspian blue 21:15, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, it's quite a nice map of historical value but it's not the best representation of the subject. 1) it's in German and 2) it's not very easy to read. I think using this data and transferring it onto a current European SVG would be a much better way to represent this data (presuming it is still considered a reliable source of data by modern standards). I just am not exactly sure what a well scanned old map like this has to offer about the subject. If it was being used to talk about the study during the early 1900s of languages and populations in Europe that would be another thing... but it's just showing what was where in the 1900s which I think a clearer (but well detailed) map is preferable. gren グレン 14:09, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
