When does Ireland have printing? —Preceding unsigned comment was added by 190.161.244.129 (talk) 04:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- There was a Western-style printing press in Japan in 1590 -- but according to the picture, the printing press hasn't reached Japan even now. —Preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.60.82.167 (talk) 18:58, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- Whilst I disagree with the rationale justifying a deletion request, the point is valid — colouring all of modern Russia and the modern USA, in particular, is very misleading. The borders ought change as time progresses, and the coloured segments should match the territories at the time (so we should see the colour spread as the USA gained territory, for example) and the colouring should end up accurate, rather than suggesting that Ireland and Eastern Europe don't have the printing press, for example. This definitely needs work. — OwenBlacker | Discussion 23:05, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
- I propose we could use dots for marking the printing presses set up in towns, this way it is more informative anyway. 88.70.63.165 09:38, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Printing reached New Zealand in August 1830, when the missionaries Rev. William Yate and John Smith printed at Kerikeri a Maori Catechism. 125.239.105.252 03:55, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
This map is inaccurate, just because modern borders are used.Ernio48 (talk) 14:19, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
