Hi Eric,

I've used your excellent map in a film I made about the Falkland Islands (you have a credit at the end of the film).

I hope you like it.

carte du delta du méandre

Bonjour, Je suis doctorante en histoire ancienne et je prépare une thèse sur la circulation en Asie Mineure. J'aimerais utiliser votre carte pour ma thèse, et plus tard, éventuellement dans sa publication scientifique. J'aurais voulu savoir si j'avais votre autorisation pour l'une et l'autre (au besoin, je vous recontacterai lorsqu'il sera question de la publication définitive). Quelles sont les informations que vous souhaiter faire figurer (Je comptais écrire: carte de l'ensablement du Méandre, réalisée par E. Gaba et donner le lien vers la page wikipedia). Souhaitez-vous faire figurer d'autres informations?

Je vous remercie pour votre réponse (mon mail est apamee at gmail.com) Très cordialement, H. R.-F., universités de Paris Ouest et de Munich

Your Mithridates image

Dear Sting: I like your image of the bust of Mithridates VI. I used that to illustrate an article about the recent flap over whether a US President has a food taster.--Temlakos (talk) 15:44, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Inaccurate relief map?

Dear Eric Gaba/Sting, thank you for your work on location maps and templates. You've certainly done a great job.

However, I noticed that your physical map of France (France_relief_location_map.jpg) seems to be slightly inaccurate. Most cities are displaced to the west, which means many cities are at the wrong side of a border or river (several coastal locations appear in the sea). Strangely enough, this problem doesn't occur on the equivalent administrative map (File:France_location_map-Regions_and_departements.svg).

To show what I mean, I've marked many cities on both maps. You can find those maps here. Michael! (talk) 19:10, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your quick reply. I don't think southern locations are worse than northern places. Have a look at Maastricht or Aachen, they're displaced roughly the same amount as Marseille or Toulon. However, Quiberon (in the West) seems to be shifted much less.

What is really strange is that "location map | France relief" gives a different result than "location map | France | relief = 1" (here again). It should be the same image.

Anyway, it's weird, but not really important.Michael! (talk) 23:28, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi

Images in Category:SVG locator maps of provinces in Algeria (orange location map scheme) have no license

Sting, I just noticed that images in Category:SVG locator maps of provinces in Algeria (orange location map scheme) do not have any license templates. I can help adding it if you tell me what it should be. --Jarekt (talk) 18:01, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Could you teach me ...

... how to create quality (relief) location maps, like your maps of France?

I recently discovered the location maps and greatly admire the work done by this project. However, I also noticed that many more location maps are still needed. Take, for instance, Italy. There's a good quality map for the whole country, created by NNW and yourself, and there also some of such maps for a few regions (Sardinia, Calabria, etc.). Several Italian regions only have poor quality location maps, which obviously don't meet the project's quality standards and aren't really useful as a location map (Emilia-Romagna, Liguria, Umbria etc.). Many regions, including the most populous) don't have any location map at all (Lombardy, Campania, Veneto, etc.).

I would like to learn how to create location maps, so I could contribute to the project and add new maps. However, I have no idea how to start or proceed. Suppose I would like to create a relief location map for Lazio. Where could I get the data from? Which program should I use? How can I create the map?

I hope you could teach me. Thank you in advance!

The course of the river Herault

Hi,

Great Minds,

Europe has generated great Minds in all areas of life. Today some minds explains it very well.

I kinda need to use your image

I need to use it for my report and I would like to know where did you get the evidence for the Okhotsk plate because all I found was the report from Berkley from 2006. Also thanks for letting people use your work.

Hello. Glad to know that File:Tectonic_plates_boundaries_detailed-en.svg can be helpful to you. As indicated in the file description, all the references, that means also the one about the Okhotst plate, are taken from the map made by Prof. Peter Bird, Department of Earth and Space Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles. I hope this helps. Sting (talk) 21:56, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Bonjour, je me permets de te contacter suite à cette contribution que j'ai rétablie sur l'article en français Voies romaines en Gaule : « Attention, la carte a inversé les positions de CAVILLONUM actuellement Châlon/Saône et Andemantunum (Langres)». Après quelques recherches, il semble qu'il y ait inversion des lieux, Langres-Andemantunnum est au nord, et Chalon-sur-Saône-Cavillonum au sud. Sauf erreur de ma part, merci pour ton attention. --Franz53sda (talk) 23:40, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Images de pièces de monnaies de la cgb

Bonjour Sting,

Je viens de m'apercevoir que vous avez enlevé d'Internet mes illustrations de pièces arguant que je n'avais pas les autorisations nécessaires à leur diffusion. Cependant, travaillant au sein de la société cgb, j'ai bien évidemment recu l'accord de l'entreprise pour le partage de sa base de données photographiques.

Afin de clarifier tout malentendu dois-je donc m'adresser directement à wikimedia qui référence les clichés postés ?

Usage of three maps by Eric Gaba

Dear Eric

I would like to use a relief map of Italy, Macedonia and France for an iBook that I have written. The iBook is to be used on the iPad and it is an English as a Second Language reader. I am using the maps in a comprehension activity about a famous person, namely Mother Teresa.

Just checking this will be okay with you. I intend to attribute your relief maps with the following text:

Bonjour, Sting. Je voudrais vous informer de deux petites erreurs dans votre carte (pourtant très bonne, ;)).
