Nominated by	Jebulon (talk) on 2013-07-20 16:01 (UTC)
Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Old maps of whole Wales (alone)
Used in	Global usage
Reason	I think it is the most complete, the most detailed, the finest and, well, the best map we have among the old maps of Wales, with the better resolution. Enjoy the details ! Made in 1610 by the famous english cartographer John Speed. I've nominated it in the FP candidates too, as I find it very stunning. The restoration was long and difficult, I hope the result is not so bad. No geocode, as it is a homework. -- Jebulon (talk)
Review (criteria)	I think "old" is too broad a term. Old maps of Wales can vary massively. Perhaps the scope could be 17th century maps of Wales? Jolly Janner (talk) 16:18, 20 July 2013 (UTC) Good question. I could also chose this scope : Maps of Wales by John Speed. The rules say that we have to link the nominations to an existing category or gallery. We have a category:Old maps of Wales, and no category "17th-century maps of Wales". And I think that in the existing category, this one is the best among other competitors, because it has the best resolution, the best details, the best designs, and the best size. Could you please find a better one in the category, or do you agree with me ?--Jebulon (talk) 21:21, 20 July 2013 (UTC) There is no rule that the scope must link to a category or gallery (Commons:Valued image scope#Links in the scope). I haven't looked through the category yet, because there's a lot to look through. With a narrower scope, I would see what is best. Jolly Janner (talk) 01:14, 21 July 2013 (UTC) "Too many pictures in the category", that's your argument ? Well... Let see the category. Inside, you can see: parts of Wales (eliminated). Wales with other parts of the UK (eliminated). Maps of city of Wales (eliminated). Remain three or four pictures of Wales, all Wales, only Wales. You can chose !--Jebulon (talk) 17:25, 21 July 2013 (UTC) New category created, therefore the scope is adjusted.--Jebulon (talk) 17:42, 21 July 2013 (UTC)  Support VI for me --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:47, 23 July 2013 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
