From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The province of Zeeland is incorrectly spelled "Zealand" on this map. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.113.201.84 (talk • contribs) 17:48, 4 September 2006.

It is true that the correct spelling is Zeeland, but I think it's forgivable since the map is in English and English allows Zealand as a variant name for Zeeland. Haplolology Talk/Contributions 14:57, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] why so large a file size?

Why is the thumbnail 400K when the image itself is only 100K? It seems kind of perverse. I imagine it might be due to a limitation in the way Wikipedia compresses PNG images, which would explain why they favor vector images so much. Although I dont think many people have a week of free time to sit down and vectorize a map like that, so it's probably going to stay the way it is.

Well I guess I was wrong =) Haplolology Talk/Contributions 02:52, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

So now what? How do we make the image work? Haplolology Talk/Contributions 17:19, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Katwijk included

Why is Katwijk included as a notable city? It's population is only 61.292 and it serves no important economic or administrative function. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.71.39.42 (talk) 18:28, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

My question exactly? It does not even have important touristic topics like Gouda, Edam, Volendam (which are not-mentioned). Arnoutf (talk) 21:09, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vissingen?

Very cool feature, clicking on a city and it redirects you to the article about the city. However, there's one error: Flushing redirects to Vissingen, which of course doesn't exist. Does anybody know how to change that into Vlissingen? TRBlom (talk) 10:53, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
