Maps
I uploaded the map for the first phase. Let me know how it looks, and if you want the rest done in the same way. --Snesmaster 18:58, 27 February 2007 (CST)


 * OK, I have a good reaction and a bad reaction. I'll do the good reaction first: the map looks fantastic.  I thought it would be larger for some reason, but at that size, it does not need to be reduced.  Maybe I'll reduce it through the Image tag, I don't know.  It depends on how much white space I end up with (I hate too much white space.)


 * Now, the bad reaction. I swear I'm not trying to be a nitpicker about the copyright and everything, they're totally your maps and you have the right to make them anyway that you want to, but seeing "Map by Rick N. Bruns" 40 or more times throughout the guide is going to get a little annoying to people, you know?  And they're going to know what game the map is from, since they're reading the guide for that game.  So I have a suggestion, and it's very much a wiki approach.  Have a look at Image:GyromiteMapPhase01Alt.png, and look specifically at the description.  That description is going to stay in the record of that file, in accordance with GFDL rules, and should never be removed.  So anyone who clicks on the map to find out more about it will find your credit.  Yes, not everyone is going to do that, and yes, not everyone is going to know that you made it just by looking at it.  But including it in the picture is just a bit too much.  I've edited and uploaded tons of pictures, and I don't even put my name in the description except to say that I uploaded it.  Like the Zelda overworld map split in to 8 parts.  It's nothing to brag about, and your work is certainly better, but really, I just didn't see the need to advertise myself as the maps' author.  So, please please please consider taking the approach that I've laid out for you in the alternate version.  Let me know how you feel about this.  Thanks. Procyon 20:41, 27 February 2007 (CST)
