Is SRTM3 available for you?

Hi Sting, I was seeing this page and tried to dwonload SRTM3 database but it looks something is broken. Where can I download it?

Also, tried to load Wikicarto_2.0.qml in QGIS but it doesn't work correctly for me. The version of my QGIS is 3.22.3. Any idea? Rohalamin (talk) 14:12, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Usage de l'image carte des marées noires

Monsieur, j'ai le plaisir de vous informer que votre excellente carte sur les marées noires servira à sensibiliser le public (international) sur le problème des pollutions océaniques. Notre ONG Sail 4 Ethics s'occupe de la conversion de navires à moteur en voilier auprès de pays côtiers les plus pauvres touchés par le changement climatique. Voici la page Flickr où elle est posée https://www.flickr.com/photos/195059109@N03/

I am a professor at Saint Mary’s University in Canada, and I am preparing a book entitled "Scale - Understanding the Environment" to be published by Springer International Publishing AG, Cham.

I was glad to find the high quality maps showing the Tissot indicatrices, which you published on Wikimedia, and I am requesting permission to use in my book two of these maps:

1) World map in a Mercator projection with Tissot's Indicatrices of deformation https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Sting/Gallery:_Maps_of_the_world,_of_seas_and_about_history#/media/File:Tissot_indicatrix_world_map_Mercator_proj.svg

Des imprécisions dans la carte

Bonjour. Je travaille sur la traduction de votre carte en russe. J'ai du mal à traduire. Au village de "Sfougarras" (Crète orientale), je ne trouve aucune preuve de l'utilisation d'un tel nom. D'où tenez-vous ces noms de sites archéologiques ? Google maps m'indique que ce site archéologique s'appelle "Chalasmenos". Пётр Тарасьев (talk) 16:31, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Revision Western Sahara maps

There is a new map of the Moroccan Wall that separates the Western Sahara, which is based on aerial images, File:Western sahara territorial control topographic map-en.svg. Can you update the location maps with that data?--Antemister (talk) 21:29, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Per COM:OVERWRITE, as the location maps are used on many wiki projects, they cannot be updated just because someone feels like it. Besides, the map that you're proposing is based on original research that goes against the overwhelming majority of RS (including the UN's), and as such, it shouldn't be used anywhere.

Use of Map (Topographical Map of Scotland)

Dear Mr Gaba, My friend and I have both been surfing in Scotland for fifty years and we are writing a light-hearted book about this. We would like to use the above map. Please can you let me know if this is OK with you? With thanks, Malcolm Findlay 90.254.64.189 08:42, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
