Use of Morocco relief location map in a scientific publication

[edit]

Hi Eric,

I am currently working on a paper on robotic experiments that we performed in the Morocco Desert.

I like your map a lot and would like to use it as location overview for my paper. Would this be OK for you?

Thank you very much and best regards, Lukas Spacenerd23

Hello Lukas. I'm glad you liked this map and that it can be useful for your publication. Feel free to use it. Just remember to inform the authorship and everything will be all right. Greetings. Sting (talk) 12:27, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Eric, that is great to hear. I would cite you in such way "Map of Morocco. All experiments were performed in the vicinity of the city of Erfoud in the northern Sahara region. Map by Eric Gaba, distributed under a CC BY-SA 3.0 license." Is that the correct approach?

Using map for commercial use

[edit]

Hello Eric,

I hope this email finds you well.

Myself and my business partner would like to inquire about using your map as part of a campaign[Quebec province transportation and cities map-fr.svg]. Could you please let us know if this is at all possible and if so, how to go about acquiring a licence if that is what we need.

Thank you for your time! — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2604:3D08:3482:1D00:81A0:664E:9338:D07A (talk) 00:40, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hallo @Sting: , deine hier verlinkte Karte macht auf den ersten Blick einen sehr übersichtlichen und professionellen Eindruck. Der trübt sich aber beim genaueren Hinsehen. Es ist ja nunmehr schon über 2 Jahre her, dass sich das Land Swaziland in Eswatini umbenannt hat. Der Name wurde mittlerer Weile von allen internationalen maßgeblichen Organisationen und Institutionen adaptiert und sollte langsam auch auf deinen Karten Niederschlag finden.

Und lasse dich bitte nicht von einigen WP-Sprachversionen beeinflussen, wo immer noch auf dem völlig obsoleten "Swaziland-Anachronismus" herum geritten wird.

Ich habe mich anfänglich selbst gewundert, warum in der deutschen und einigen anderen europäischen Sprachversionen der Wikipedia der entsprechende Artikel auch noch immer "Swasiland", "Swaziland" etc. heißt. Zunächst vermutete ich, dass Cliquen von Trolls oder Chauvinisten mit Strohmann-Argumenten eine Artikelumbenennung verhinderten. Ich konnte mir da zunächst keinen Reim drauf machen, warum das bei manchen Sprachversionen so unterschiedlich ist.

Doch vor einiger Zeit machte ich mir die Mühe und sortierte die ganzen Europäischen Sprachversionen nach "Eswatini" und "Swasiland" bzw etwaiger entsprechender Exonyme. Es stellte sich heraus, dass bei folgenden europäischen Nationalsprachen (nebst einigen jeweils den entsprechenden Ländern zuzurechnenden regionalen Dialekten) eine "Eswatini"-Verweigerung besteht: Dänisch, Deutsch (+ Österreich + Schweiz), Estnisch, Finnisch, Italienisch, Niederländisch (auch Belgien), Schwedisch, Spanisch, Tschechisch und Ungarisch.

Wikipedia kann man ja durchaus ähnlich einem sozialen Netzwerk betrachten. Und ähnlich wie bei letzteren spiegelt das Gesamtspektrum der Wikipedia-Autor*innen auch das Spektrum der Gesellschaft wieder. Charaktere, Weltanschauung, politische Einstellung usw spiegeln sich in ähnlichen Verhältnissen wie in der Gesellschaft. Und in diesem Sinne ging mir ein großes Licht auf, als ich bei der Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung zufällig auf die Artikel "Rechtspopulismus: Erscheinungsformen, Ursachen und Gegenstrategien" (https://www.bpb.de/politik/extremismus/rechtspopulismus/240089/rechtspopulismus-erscheinungsformen-ursachen-und-gegenstrategien)
und
"Rechtspopulismus im europäischen Vergleich – Kernelemente und Unterschiede" (https://www.bpb.de/politik/extremismus/rechtspopulismus/240093/rechtspopulismus-im-europaeischen-vergleich-kernelemente-und-unterschiede) stieß. Dort wird ausführlich über alle Länder mit relativ stark vertretenem Rechtspopulismus, Nationalismus und Rechtsextremismus in Europa mit Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Rassismus als einen Schwerpunkt berichtet. Tja und ausschließlich alle die oben genannten "Eswatini" verweigernden Länder, respektive Wikipedia-Sprachversionen sind da mit aufgeführt. (Welch ein Zufall !) Also somit diejenigen, wo gut vernetzte xenophobe Autoren die Kontrolle über den Artikel "Swaziland" ausüben.

Somit braucht man sich da nicht zu wundern.--Bestoernesto (talk) 01:32, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Bestoernesto. Das macht Jahre das ich nicht mehr deutsch gesprochen und geschrieben habe, so will ich in englisch weiter schrieben.
You are right. I saw that information about the change of the name of the country decided by its leader some time ago, but didn‘t pay attention to the impact on those maps. I shall modify them in the coming weeks to be in accordance with the official name of the country. Thanks for remember me about this task. Sting (talk) 21:24, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks too. I know there is a lot to do. Over 20 languges. Please start with the english and after with the german language version.--Bestoernesto (talk) 23:07, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request permission for reusing map of Italy

[edit]

Dear Eric, we intend to use your map showing the reliefs of Italy in a paper that will be published on Scientific Reports (nature.com). The part of north western Italy well suits us for location overview! We have modified your map adding several indications, like region and mountain range names. Of course, you’ll be acknowledged in the figure caption. Is that fine for you? Many many thanks, Anna

Request for "Belgium relief location map"

[edit]

Bonsoir Eric,

I am in the process of self-publishing a hiking guide to Belgium. In the beginning of the book there is supposed to be a map of Belgium with all 20 hikes marked for the reader to get an overview where the hikes are actually located. For this I would like to use your physical map of Belgium. Two questions:

a. Your map has an original size of 1,136 × 988 pixels. That might be too small for printing it in a book. Can you provide me with an even bigger version of the map?

b. I will state you as the originator of the map in the "credit section" of the book on p.2. I will give your name, NordNordWest and OSM together with "CC-BY-SA 3.0". Will that be sufficient?

Bien à vous Markus

Hello Markus. Yes, I can provide a larger version of that map. What would be the approximate size of the printed image? Please inform an email address so I can send you the map. Best regards. Sting (talk) 20:25, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
