File talk:Abkhazia and South Ossetia relations.png

Double standards
Why is it that in we only show those who recognize kosovo, but in this map here we show who says they won't recognize South Ossetia? Wikipedia western-oriented POV strikes again. Most of those countries should be colored light orange instead of dark orange furthermore. Almost none of those countries have specifically declared that they will not recognize them as independent.

 * avala please refrain from reverting my edits without explanation. Refer to my above comment for why this map cannot be left in the article in its current form. LokiiT (talk) 15:35, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree. The standard should be the same in cases like Kosovo and SO & Abchasia. In the spirit of full disclosure I suggest that states opposed be shown in all maps.U5K0 (talk) 20:33, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Show Only States Recognizing
Differentiating the responses of non-recognizing countries (at present, every country besides Russia) will simply lead to endless arguments about how to classify each country's reactions. It would be better, and simplier to highlight only recognizing countries (in blue), South Ossetia (green), and Abkhazia (green). 141.166.241.22 (talk) 20:07, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Invisible Abkhazia and South Ossetia
Green wasn't a good choice for them, they are barely noticeable in the map. Maybe only black or a bright red would serve for such tiny regions to stand out in the map. Hús ö  nd  22:06, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I agree. At first I thought the map creator forgot to color them on this map. Basically, nobody will know where they are unless they already know where to look for them. Maybe circle the territories or something like that. 76.217.13.120 (talk) 00:00, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

They are extremely tiny territories.--Avala (talk) 07:33, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

It's fixed now with two circles instead of exact territories. If you can't see it erase your cache instead of slicing the article.--Avala (talk) 13:08, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Other partially recognised states
Out of all the non-UN states with recognition from UN states, Kosovo is the only one completely off the list. West Bank and Gaza Palestine, Taiwan, Northern Cyprus, Western Sahara, Abkhazia and South Ossetia (of course) are all on the map, but Kosovo isn't. Also, Kosovo and Northern Cyprus and Gaza's reactions aren't listed on the map. For Palestine, I think there should be two circles, one for the Gaza Strip and one for West Bank so we can show the Gaza government supports the Russians and the West Bank government doesn't.

Cuba
Further to the inclusion on information on the Cuban position, would it be possible for someone to update the image. (As an aside, Sudan's statement does not read to me as though the country is that opposed to Ab/SO independence. What was the larger quote?) Orthorhombic (talk) 10:47, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you have any statements by Cuba? I'd gladly incorporate them into the article and map if so. Also, I agree with you about Sudan. I agree with you about Sudan, it should be colored orange not red. They say nothing about Georgia's territorial integrity, and simply say that it would make the Kosovo situation worse. Also according to the article: "In mid-August the Sudanese National Assembly lent its support to Moscow in its military clash with Georgia on the borders." LokiiT (talk) 23:05, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I also think Sudan should be moved to the orange catetgory. I don't know how to update the image though.U5K0 (talk) 20:57, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Nicaragua update
