Image:EuropeArticleLanguages.png

Questions have been raised about Image:EuropeArticleLanguages.png in English Wikipedia at en:Article (grammar).

1) Why is there an area in Finland marked "indefinite and postfixed definite articles"? I answered that this is an area where Swedish is spoken.

2) Why is Slovenia cross hatched? My guess is that is represents German or Italian being commonly spoken there, but I really don't know.

3) No one questioned it, but I am assuming the "only definite articles" areas in Britain and Ireland represent Welsh and Gaelic.

Are these actually majority languages in those areas, or are you referring to common minority languages? Representing minority languages on a map is a problem. en:user:Barticus88. 128.95.151.89 22:50, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Regarding that map, the Swedish speaking area in Finland is incorrectly placed. Swedish is spoken along the southern coast of Finland (around Helsinki), not so much along the western coast. Also, the map implies that Norwegian is not spoken above the arctic circle in that country. Saami/Lapp language is a minority laguage only spoken by a majority in Finnmark in the inland portion of Norway in the extreme north along the border with Sweden. Swedish, is also the majority language far further north than indicated on the map. Also, the Basque area should be hashed, as many Spanish and French speakers also live there, this also applies to the Gaelic speaking areas in Scotland and Ireland as in both countries Gaelic is a definate minority language (only 50,000 speakers in Scotland, and even those tend to use it as a second language). Even in Wales, English is the dominant language except in the north west. Nonetheless, good effort and keep up the good work. :) (user 1812ahill)->94.169.30.141 16:10, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I will update the map as suggested. Regarding Slovenian, there's article (or something like it) in colloquial use, but not in the standard. Google for "article colloquial Slovenian".

Regarding the "minority languages", I think not representing them is worse than over-representing them. Should I hide all Celtic languages? I want to show areal influences, and nowadays minority languages should play a role. I think further discussion should be moved to the corresponding discussion page.

Dear colleague, how about the colours green and yellow for some countries: is there a legend/key for those colours too in your image? Sincerely, --RobSchop (talk) 00:39, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Ћао, Дник :)

Јесте, користио сам свг мапу СФРЈ као подлогу, е сад ствар је у томе што се не сећам има ли је овде у остави или сам је ја сам цртао :( Што се тиче дораде, наравно, немам ништа против и биће ми драго да се допуни информацијама које поседујеш. Било би добро у том случају да имамо две-три карте чакавштине по изворима неколико аутора (Бузовић, Вермер...). Што се тиче ове моје, немој директо мењати, језик и писмо будући да се она користи кон нас на ср.њики, преведи је на енлески и преслови на хрватски ако има потребе. Надам се да смо се разумели? :) За све што те интересује или било шта друго, слободно ми се јави. Ако ти шта затреба слободно ме контактирај преко мејла..

Све најбоље, Ivan25 (talk) 16:24, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Може, може, супер... Кад их исцрташ остави ми на страни за разговор линкове да их видим... :)) ПозззIvan25 (talk) 14:58, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Dnik!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Map of Slovenian dialects.svg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Map of Slovenian dialects.svg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!
