Bird Flu World Map[edit]

This is a high quality map that illustrates the locations that the H5N1 virus has spread in the world. I think that this would be a perfect addition to the FP on wikipedia.

Nominate and support. - ZeWrestler ^Talk 23:55, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Won't this map become outdated once it spreads? What if it becomes Featured, do we replace it with a newer map? — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-02-15 23:59
Comment. Um.. isn't it missing a couple of continents? It really shouldn't be labeled "global". Rhobite 00:03, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, will have to be replaced as spread increase. Quality maintenance can't be guaranteed. Circeus 00:18, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, Same as above, plain. PoweredDeath
Oppose for reasons mentioned above, but also, where is North and South America!? Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 01:50, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for the above reasons. Also, countries like Russia and China are pretty big. Couldn't there be dots to show exact locations of outbreaks? --dm ^(talk) 07:05, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose agree with above Calderwood 07:42, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, will get outdated too soon. Should be nominated after this wave of the virus has passed. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - was about to support it, but it has been usurped by a new picture, right, in both H5N1 and its spread. This picture needs updating I feel before it can be nominated for FP, but I don't think up-to-date photos should be rejected as FP just because of them having to change. They take effort to update, and can be very good indeed. | Spaully 18:46, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Seems to me that an SVG would be much easier to update, especially for users who are not the image's creator. Rhobite 19:55, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - But not many people can edit SVGs... Circeus 20:00, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Flcelloguy (A note?) 21:15, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, already outdated. More importantly, diagrams and maps should be as plain as possible, especially as they're viewed as thumbnails within articles. The second image is much better in that. Aesthetically the first image is quite good.--Jyril 21:37, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, probably outdated and won't last long even if updated. - Eagle^a^mⁿ 07:20, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Already outdated. France, India and Egypt has confirmed cases of Bird flu! DaGizza^Chat ^© 08:54, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering how do you make a map like the red and white one? I see them often on Wiki. Is there a template or something of that nature.
