 * Oppose - I cannot assess the historical accuracy of the map. But a lot more of cartographic sophistication is to be expected from a FP. There is almost no base geographical information in the map, the colours are not explained (they seem randomly chosen to me) and the lettering doesn't look good. Also, the map is not oriented and lacks information on the geographical coordinates. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:35, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Sorry, this just is not a professional-quality map. The coastlines are very roughly drawn, the lettering is typographically displeasing, etc. For an amateur-drawn map, it's very good, but nevertheless it is unambiguously an amateur-drawn map. —Angr 15:00, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
