Deepwater spill May 24, 2010
Current image
Reason
This is featured, but it's no longer used on the article, it seems to have been replaced with the one below it, we might as well just replace it. I actually prefer the small excerpt map, it adds educational value by giving the viewer more visual info about the location.

  • Given that they have a notice on their talk page saying they've left in a huff, their last edit in 2009 was to delete notices about the sourcing of similar maps, and their previous edit was in 2007, I don't think we should hold our breath. --Avenue (talk) 07:17, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The inset is a demis map - the documentation it should have is at http://www2.demis.nl/worldmap/DataSrc.htm Kmusser (talk) 17:35, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I've added it to the image description page. --Avenue (talk) 01:40, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think it would be better with a zoom effect, where the photograph is not partly obscured by the map (i.e. map placed outside photograph) - this is a bit closer to what I'm thinking of. I think a placement of the overview map above or below the photograph would make most sense given the dimensions. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 09:55, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
