About this map

This map may contain small errors of detail that are easy to correct, but that is not why it has been removed on several occasions from some articles where it appears. The reason is that an increasingly common phenomenon regarding Commons historical mapping is that any map that counters a nationalist point of view (for example, if it shows a multicultural past where nationalist sources deny it) is proposed to suppression under various methodological pretexts. We can oppose the lack of sources or, if the sources are indicated, the "copyviolation" of these sources. When such a map expresses a nationalist point of view at its creation, and other contributors try to improve it, to enrich it with details, the COM:CROP rule can be used against them to save the nationalist point of view, as if the map were an original ancient document, whereas a digital map, created especially for Commons, is not a work of art but PD-ineligible. In this case, it should be noted that the mere mention of the pre-1918 Venetian names of the Dalmatian islands, which also have Slavic names, is unbearable to nationalists, who even claim that the Dalmatians of Antiquity (or even the "Pelasgians" of prehistory) were, in fact, already Slavs. 2A01:CB1C:821F:A400:FC4E:3C76:19FB:96CD 14:04, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
