Talk:Van der Grinten projection

Replace low-contrast images
I will be replacing images on the various map projection pages. Presently many are on a satellite composite image from NASA that, while realistic, poorly demonstrates the projections because of dark color and low contrast. I have created a stylization of the same data with much brighter water areas and a light graticule to contrast. See the thumbnail of the example from another article. Some images on some pages are acceptable but differ stylistically from most articles; I will replace these also.

The images will be high resolution and antialiased, with 15° graticules for world projections, red, translucent equator, red tropics, and blue polar circles.

Please discuss agreement or objections over here (not this page). I intend to start these replacements on 13 August. Thank you. Strebe (talk) 22:48, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Van der Grinten projection adopted like Goodwill Games emblem
Hi, the Van der Grinten projection of world map was adopted by the now-defunct Goodwill Games (1986-2001) like its emblem.Nekko09 (talk) 21:45, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

File:Van der Grinten projection SW.jpg to appear as POTD soon
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Van der Grinten projection SW.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on February 10, 2016. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2016-02-10. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:13, 22 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Chris Woodrich, I made a slight correction to the template; otherwise it looks good to go. Thanks! Strebe (talk) 05:30, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
