Hi. I was just creating a heading for the venues to be at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, using the 2006 page as a guideline, when I saw the map you created for the Turin venues. I've noticed that you are great at mapmaking, and I'd like to know if you'd be interested in creating a map for these games too. A nice map showing the locations of all the venues (just mouse over the yellow dots) is located here. If you could, put the name of the venue, possible a sports symbol, whatever. It'd be your map, and you don't have to do it if you don't care to. Thanks for at least reading this, though. Please send me a message when you can. Regards, → J@red 23:43, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi. You participated in a thread at Talk:Canberra on this subject. It was inconclusive, and so I've reignited it over at Talk:Russell, Australian Capital Territory. Cheers JackofOz 13:11, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the barnstar! Glad I can help. Keep up your fantastic mapmaking job too. Joaopais 14:45, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I have only the vaguest idea what Commons is and no idea how it works. Adam 10:41, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
I clicked that link and was told that I had to be logged in to use it, so I logged in and it didn't recognise me. Adam 11:07, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Um, it all looks much too complicated for me. I have never been able to understand all this licensing stuff. All my photos are here, if you or others want to transfer them to Commons you are welcome to do so. Adam 11:53, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
I have a lot of photos from my recent stay in Berlin and Vienna yet to go through, so more will be added to that page soon. Adam 22:55, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey Astrokey, I've noticed you seem to be quite proficient at the whole map business now. :) Can I ask, what software do you use? I want to get into making some maps, since they can be so useful at conveying certain information. But I don't know where to start. Is it hard to learn? pfctdayelise (translate?) 11:43, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

That's an awesome GIF you've made there. Truly nice work!! — Donama 12:30, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
This may seem like an odd question, but on Big Brother Australia series 3, where did you get the information about Belinda's baby?
I like the Time in Indiana article. Good move. Good work! Sparsefarce 00:39, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
I also think having its own article was a good idea, but it would have been nice to see it discussed briefly on the talk page first. I almost had a heart attack when I checked my watchlist this morning! Good job though. ONUnicorn 14:38, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your support in my RfA, which ended with the result of (74/0/0). If there is anything I can help with feel free to ask. Also, if there is anything I am doing wrong, please point that out as well. I look forward to working with you in the future. |
Astrokey44- There is discussion underway on the order of sections in the History of France subpages. I'd appreciate your input, if you have a chance. Go to Talk:History of France#Sections in sub articles. Thanks- NYArtsnWords 22:03, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I will add more images within my ability. However, reorganizing all the images is a project to its own right. I'm now more involved with getting the currency articles right. --Chochopk 05:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Have you considered colour coding the Mcdonalds map by the amount of McDonaldses in each country?--Greasysteve13 05:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
I've never worked with those maps so I don't know what I could do; maybe you could adjust the lines a little bit, but at such an extreme angle, and at such a small size, there's bound to be some distortion there. But yeah, Minnesota and Missouri are pretty distorted. --Golbez 17:03, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
For me, it's all right that the maps be placed in each of the pageant articles. Actually, I was contemplating to put them before, but since the official websites and pageant-related websites don't put that much emphasis on the countries--but more on the winners list--I didn't. In any case, I'm inviting you to join the Wikipedia:WikiProject Beauty Pageants, not only because we can discuss this more thoroughly, but I also noticed that you have been quite busy with graphics related to maps. Maybe you can help out in some of the pageant maps, especially in the Miss International map. This is because of the inconsistency of the representations of such countries as UK and USA. Although such is no problem when the winner doesn't come from them (e.g. in Miss World, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales have their own delegates, but previous British winners represented "UK"), this is markedly different when a winner comes from England for example--as in the Miss International. Hence, if you'll examine the map, the UK is highlighted, instead of just England--in order to better combine the results to the Big Four pageants map. And also, despite having a delegate in the said pageant from "USA", "Hawaii" and even "American Indian" is represented. Not to be negative, but I'm actually relieved that such sub-political and ethnic representations don't end up winning the pageant. In any case, I fully support any delineation that needs to be done for the Miss International map. Also, I noticed that in the map you helped create Image:World population.PNG, there is a legend/scale to the right of the graphic. Can such a legend/scale be also included in the pageant maps, to avoid long captions? And by the way, maybe the host cities of these pageants can also be highlighted in the map by point/diamond graphics... It seems that I'm asking too much, but I'm not really familiar with such graphic features... Thanks! --Joey80 08:36, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
hi, I've seen that you have uploaded a nice map for the US States by GDP. I have recently updated the page with the 2005 BEA figures. Please update your map or upload another one. I appreciate all your work. Regards,

Hi Astrokey,
Would you be interested in making us a distribution map for Banksia brownii? WikiProject Banksia is about to push the article to GA, and may look to take it all the way to FA. If you're willing, I can email you a scan of the species map in The Banksia Atlas. The distribution is very small, so I imagine the job would be quick and easy.

Though Afshar's work is still the subject of ongoing interpretation and discussion, a significant portion of the scientific community is of the opinion that Afshar's experiment does not refute complementarity.
Some general criticisms are:
As Michael claims, those statments are supposedly "popular views" that preexisted my experiment, and as such must be present in peer-reviewed publication predating my work. All I have asked him to do is to provide such valid ref.s but he has persistently avoided doing so and instead engaged in personal attacks. He seems to have a lot of time on his hands to be on Wikipeida constatntly, but I don't. This is turning to oneupmanship, and I don't have time for such antcis. Maybe he would heed your request. Thanks!-- Prof. Afshar 13:51, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
I had joined britain and ireland for 1896 and 1900, because the games museum lists it as "Great Britain & Ireland" , but after that it lists it only as "Great Britain" . I thought the maps should only show the country which was named? --Astrokey44 00:11, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I was wondering why you have listed to delete my article, it uses references from the books i have been recently reading. I work at Preston University, as head of history, the subject of war phrases has always been close to heart. You can check in the many books i referenced from, the data is all true, it is also the current project of my group, there are many more war phrases used in the battle and many others in fact. I see no real reason why it should be deleted. Epoque 15:08, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Regarding this article, I've added the AfD template which needed to be put on it. I've also just done a quick check on Amazon for "Russia For Dummies" (one of the sources quoted) and I can't even find a reference for it - let alone one published in 1975 as the article claims. None too sure about the idea of a Head of History at a university reading a "For Dummies" book, either... BigHaz 23:41, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that Pole Chudes is the Russian version of Wheel of Fortune, so I added it to Wheel of Fortune in different countries, and it should probably be added to the map. BirdValiant 19:48, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi! I decided to change the color scheme of the Miss Universe map. After the 2006 pageant, you made two shades of orange to distinguish the number of wins by Venezuela and Puerto Rico. Since there are now seven boxes for the legend, I decided to use the ROYGBIV scheme, so I added violet. Hence, Venezuela is colored yellow, and Puerto Rico is colored orange. Also, just would like to point out to you that there are some territories by host countries which are not shaded in the Olympic maps, notably, those by European hosts (e.g. Crete is not shaded for Greece, Sicily and Sardinia for Italy, Corsica for France, Balearic for Spain and Kaliningrad for Russia/USSR). This observation is applicable to both Summer and Winter Games. --Joey80 08:55, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Yes it is fine, I wasnt sure how to do it better, keep up the good work. But you forgot Epirus (region) in greece, which included southern Albania. Enlil Ninlil 06:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

You were the one made a bunch of Middle-earth maps, correct? If so, you might want to take a look at a concern involving the one on the Reunited Kingdom. A comment can be found on it's talk page.

Hello Astrokey, thankyou for making the animated map of the Byzantine Empire. I liked it so much that I have to ask, is there any chance you would be able to modify the animation to include a couple of new maps? Specifically, I mean to include these maps:
