  • Oppose because it should be a SVG and it isn't. I also don't like the colours. --Silversmith Hewwo 06:44, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose looks messy but is unclear whether is for graphic reasons, or was the battle a mess, or both... Quite unpleasing colours. Elekhh (talk) 10:53, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. No legend to explain the brown splotches (which presumably indicate high elevation, but nothing in the image explains this. Also, if the rivers are important enough to be shown on the map, why aren't they labeled? Pennsylvania-Maryland borderline follows a longitude line in real life; why is it a crooked line on this map? Dotted and colored lines over or under text labels makes the text labels difficult to read. The B&O railroad, but not the other railroad lines, are labeled.
  • This seems like a good opportunity to canvass the folks over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps to come up with some suggestions for general principles that ought to be given consideration when a map is submitted for FPC. Spikebrennan (talk) 23:05, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
