Replace low-contrast images[edit]

I will be replacing images on the various map projection pages. Presently many are on a satellite composite image from NASA that, while realistic, poorly demonstrates the projections because of dark color and low contrast. I have created a stylization of the same data with much brighter water areas and a light graticule to contrast. See the thumbnail of the example from another article. Some images on some pages are acceptable but differ stylistically from most articles; I will replace these also.

The images will be high resolution and antialiased, with 15° graticules for world projections, red, translucent equator, red tropics, and blue polar circles.

Please discuss agreement or objections over here (not this page). I intend to start these replacements on 13 August. Thank you. Strebe (talk) 22:48, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:Wagner VI projection SW.jpg to appear as POTD soon[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Wagner VI projection SW.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 13, 2016. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2016-03-13. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:40, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

Wagner VI is a pseudocylindrical whole Earth map projection. It is a compromise projection, not having any special attributes other than a low-distortion appearance similar to the more common Robinson projection. The 2:1 aspect ratio of the equator to the central meridian matches their actual ratio on the Earth.Map: Strebe, using Geocart
