	Inaccurate India maps on Wikis by H P Nadig :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message The India map on several Wiki projects have the borders depicted wrongly. The disputed areas between neighbouring nations seem to have been ripped off from the map. One such instance is this: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Bangalore_in_India.png We ought to make sure that the usage of such incorrect maps are discouraged. Anyone interested to volunteer in getting the maps corrected all over? - Hari Prasad _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@... http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

We do have excellent NPOV SVG maps to use, these ones should be put up for deletion. Authors who draw such maps should be made aware that their maps are POV and contrary to the wiki spirit.

Yes, and we need volunteers active on English Wiki who could take this up.
