•  Oppose - As far as I remember Venezuela is not an island or a baloon floating in the air! All maps should be inserted in their proper geographic context, in this case, the northern part of South America and the Caribbean Sea. Alvesgaspar 23:00, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Please, show me a sample, thax --libertad0 23:08, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

•  Info - Here is a simple example: Alvesgaspar 23:22, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

•  Oppose - Not sure what Alvesgaspar's complaint is about (that it isn't like the dragefestival pic above??), but I'm rather uneasy about the "Zona en Reclamación" cut out of Guyana - is the map trying to make a political (or even military?) statement? It is not explained on the image description. Some of the lettering (islands, Dto. Capital, etc.) is also too small to read easily in typical wikipedia page thumbnail size (it should be readable together with the article text without having to open the image separately). - MPF 22:12, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
  •  Info - The object of my complaint is now fixed. The map of Venezuela was "floating" in a transparente background, i.e., not inserted in its geographical context. - Alvesgaspar 11:13, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

 InfoIt is a map about the states of Venezuela or territorial political division. The zone in claim not yet knows if it belongs to Guyana or Venezuela, for that reason usually it is placed of that way --libertad0 23:10, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

•  Comment - I have consulted several world atlas, including the Times Atlas of the World, and in none of them there is any mention to the claimed territory, or any variation from the internationally accepted borders between Venezuela and Guyana. The statement that "the zone not yet knows if it belongs to Guyana or Venezuela" is extraordinary (note that the territory of Guyana would be reduced to less than one third if the disput were resolved in Venezuela favour). Commons is not the right place for this kind of polytical campaign. Alvesgaspar 08:09, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  •  Comment This kind of map you will only find in Venezuela. The "Zona en Reclamación" is also know as Essequibo region. An arbitration in they year 1899 awarded the territory to the former colony of British Guayana. Since this time there is a dispute between Guyana and Venezuela, because Venezuela feels itself treated unfairly. You have to know that this region is high in mineral and natural resources. In the beginning of the eighties, both sides agreed that the matter should be solved by the United Nations. The issue is now in the hands of the Secretary General, who has the task to find a solution. Until the UN hasnt find one, the territory belongs to Guyana. --Simonizer 10:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Why normal map should be in this category? --Karelj 16:54, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

 Comment Yes, not much 'wow', it would probably go well in Quality images candidates --Tony Wills 12:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
