Hello,

:'''Re: your ]'''
:Ministry of Atolls website is actually using the new ones as far as i know and besides when it comes to they way maldivians' named it its atoll it can be a very cryptic thing and often doesnt make any sense. and for "Naviyani"-"Gnaviyani" conflict, i think we should stick with the way its followed by the ministry. dont you think? --] 06:40, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

== Join the Months of African Cinema Global Contest! ==
As for sending email via Misplaced Pages, I do not know how to do this, can you explain to me how to send it? One more thing, seems that the problem with Vojvodina article is that the history section lack the explanation for this changes of the autonomy level from 1945 to the present day. I will improve this history section when I find time to do it. Since you are interested in this issue, then here is the main difference in the autonomy levels during the time: In 1945 Vojvodina and Kosovo were formed as a territorial autonomies within Serbia. In 1974, the autonomy level of both provinces was increased in the manner that they still were autonomous provinces of Serbia, but they also were represented in the federal institutions independently from Serbia (In another words, the provinces had almost same level of power as the Serbia itself). In 1989, this level of autonomy was abolished, so the provinces were no longer represented in the federal institutions, but were only autonomous provinces within Serbia (as they were before 1974 too), with a small level of autonomy. The Kosovo Albanians did not agreed to have only this small autonomy, so they boycotted the institutions and started a rebellion in 1998, which led to NATO bombing in 1999. The UN administration increased the level of the autonomy of Kosovo in 1999, while the level of autonomy of Vojvodina was also increased by the omnibus law in 2002. Currently, both provinces have larger autonomy than in 1989, but smaller than in 1974. In this year the final status of Kosovo will be determined, and it will be either independence either Kosovo will become a third republic within Serbia-Montenegro. As for Vojvodina, it also will gain more autonomy by the new constitution of Serbia. Serbia possibly will also have 4 new provinces. See this: ]. The ethnic Hungarian politicians from the northern part of Vojvodina also want a separate autonomous region for themselves (]), as well as the ethic Bosniak politicians from ], but it is not likely that these two regions will be formed, since the new provinces of Serbia will be formed on economic, not on the ethnic principle. ] ] 22:10, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello, fellow Libra! I believe it would be better to number the regions instead of writing their names, so that it would be legible from the main article, instead of enlarging the picture to be able to see the names. I'd do it myself, but I don't have the necessary knowledge of graphic design (in short, I suck at it), so i'm kindly asking you to do it!

::I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt your feelings. It's just that I wanted to edit your map and number the regions instead of naming them, as the names are quite long and I thought it was more practical to use numbers. But unfortunately like I mentioned before, my skills are all but limited when it comes to image editing. That's why, when I found the map from the Statistical Office, I added it because it fit my criteria, so to speak. I did check the copyright, and I did add the note on the source as the copyright notice demanded. I did however mislabel it as having an unknown license but I've fixed it since then. I do hope you understand that this wasn't an act against you but something which I thought might better represent the regions and aid the reader better.

==Divisions/Departments==
Hmm. We seem to be on different pages about whether the English name for Cameroon's ''départements'' is ''divisions'' or ''departments''. I've changed things back to what I'm fairly certain is the proper nomenclature, but if you decide to revert again, I won't edit war with you. Once I get home, I'll consult my Cameroon library to see how my atlases, histories, etc. handle the issue. I know that, as ] stated at ], most Anglophone Cameroonians (in my personal experience) refer to these units as ''divisions'' rather than ''departments''. — ] 17:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
:Hey - in the midst of my changes and your reverts, I consulted the official Cameroon government page (http://www.spm.gov.cm/showdoc.php?id_docs=21&lang=en&tpl=1) and found the 'official' breakdown (my source must be from the 'old' makeup). While the UN views them as "departments" (hence the French nomenclature), I appreciate the input... and will follow suit with a breakdown series of maps of the 'divisions'. :) ] 17:53, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
::(Moving discussion back here to avoid fragmentation) I'm beginning to think that I acted too hastily and that "department" is the proper nomenclature. Like I said, Anglophone Cameroonians tend to say ''division'' and refer to ''prefets'' and ''sous-prefets'' as ''senior divisional officers'' and ''junior divisional officers''. It gets kind of confusing. :) But the UN page and official page you cite are both very convincing arguments for ''departments'', as is . If we decide to change back to ''departments'', ] will need a renaming, as well. — ] 18:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

== GhanaMaps ==

The Ghana District Maps are great. I am not a geographer but I'm using some maps in my doctoral dissertation. I brought them back as paper copies a cartographer at the Ghana Electoral Commission created for me. Then I scanned them at Kinkos into .JPGs. I've managed to turn them into pretty good looking maps which I can somewhat laborously manipulate using Adobe Illustrator but from the sounds of it your maps are far easier to change. Do you have any free advice?

:Sure... if you would like me to manipulate/create particular maps for you, I offer up my services to you - free of charge. I need a way to contact you outside of Wiki. I have an email address with Wiki - if you are unable to send me a message, then I will gladly provide mine to you. ] 18:49, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

== Map of Piedmont ==

Hi there :) compliments for your many contributions about maps and geography in general! Unfortunately I've found the map of ] you uploaded on Commons is flawed, and doesn't show the correct borders of some provinces - ] also commprises what you call Province of Biella, Biella itself lies where you put Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, which is more to the right, sharing some border with Lombardy. Since there are so many maps with the same style I thought it would be better just to tell you, and not to upload some corrected version which might look different. ;-)

== SVG maps? On Commons? ==

Hi Rare! I'm a map fan collaborating on a project on Africa in the Portuguese-language Misplaced Pages, and I have to say you make great maps! My I ask (if it's not asking too much?) that you'd make your maps available in SVG format, and upload these to ]? That way those maps can be put to more flexible use, in more than just the English wiki. I've never used the software you mention, but if it's cartographic software then it should export in several vector formats. If you need any assistance with Commons, or want to talk about it, please use my talk page. Thanks! &ndash;&nbsp;] <sup>]</sup> 23:19, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks for wanting to create the SVG maps! If the shapes end up labelled, say if the shape for a province has id=the province's name, then so much the better! That really helps. If the SVG's turn out very big, I for one would say it's all right - all the info there is useful. About categorizing, there's usually a ''Maps of XXX'' category for each country. If you need me, you know where to find me. &ndash;&nbsp;] <sup>]</sup> 16:30, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Where are you adding the maps, here at the English wiki or at the Commons? I can't see anything either.

You should create an account on Wikimedia Commons, to add the images there. As to software to produce SVG from jpeg, well, it is best to use the original sources that you have, or you will introduce a lot of errors in the resulting SVG file. If you have ESRI files or other vector format, your software should be able to easily convert to SVG. -- &ndash;&nbsp;] <sup>]</sup> 13:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Hola Rarelibra. Por lo que yo entiendo necesitas la cartografía municipal de España ¿verdad?
OK. Te contesto como hice a otro compañero de la Misplaced Pages:
-----
Obtener la cartografía municipal de España con la que están hechos los mapas de Misplaced Pages es sencillo. Para ello tú debes descargarse el siguiente programa que se encuentra en la web del (INE) de España de .

Después de instalar el programa vete al directorio de instalación C:\Archivos de
programa\PX-Map\Maps (en tu ordenador puede que cambie C:\Program Files\PX-Map\Maps). Allí tú encontrarás
todos los shapefiles con los municipios de España que usa el programa, con
su código INE, superficie, provincia, nombre, etc. listo para cargar en tu GIS.

== Opposing force ==

I think you have misunderstood my edit. While 'OPFOR' is an abbreviation for 'opposing force', and the terms are very often used with the same meaning, they are ''not'' always interchangeable. AFAICT, we are agreed that the term 'OPFOR' is used only for a simulated enemy, not a real one, but this is ''not'' the case for 'opposing force'.

Some examples where 'opposing force' is used to refer to a genuine enemy:

(term is also used in the same way in criteria for various other awards)

This usage is not particularly common (which is why the focus of the article is on simulated enemies, as it should be). However, it does exist - in reputable military publications, at that - and as long as the article's titled 'Opposing force' it should acknowledge that usage.

As for the question of US-centrism: given that simulated enemies are an important part of training to ''many'' military powers, it seems to me that it would make sense to have an article that covers the general concept - having a separate article for each nation that does this would lead to a lot of duplication of effort (and I doubt we'd have much luck producing more than a stub for nations other than the US). If 'Opposing force' seems too US-centric a term to fit a general article, it would be better to rename it to something more generic rather than change the scope. --] 15:12, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

== Provinces of Italy ==

Hello Rarelibra, why did you revert the edits on Provinces of Italy? In the Italian constitution even this region is referred to as Trentino-Alto Adige/Sudtirol. The latter sharing the Italian and German names. There has been a campaign by Austrians to list the English as Trentino-South Tyrol, but it is something that really does not exist. Doing a Google Test shows most English pages actually refer to the region as Trentino-Alto Adige. Anyway, how it is now is really the correct listing. ] 20:03, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

: Rarelibra, my family is from this region and also from Italy, but I am a native English speaker based in the USA. Just check out the links I'll provide. The Provinces are Trento (TN) and Bolzano/Bozen (BZ). The cities are in Italy and are called first Bolzano, then Bozen. Every sign has Bolzano/Bozen, Merano/Meran, etc. The so-called English name of South Tyrol has been invented by individuals with a German POV. ] 02:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
