[edit] Clarifying Licensing

I emailed the organization regarding their licensing terms, and asking them to review the article. Their data would be most helpful in this environment. Cwolfsheep 03:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

{{PD-release}} would seem to fit their description on their website. Cwolfsheep 20:57, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I've made a better template for use on Wikimedia Commons. Upload images & use the template there. Cwolfsheep 04:20, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images Deployed

I've finished rendering & deployed images for 48 African countries: 2 of the datasets weren't available or usable; several island nations are not covered by Map Library. All the images are in the Commons. Cwolfsheep 04:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
