Hello The Evil Spartan,

Could you make some additional changes to File:European empires.png? Namely the following:

- Patagonia is indeed controlled by Europeanized countries (Argentina and Chile), but it wasn't a Spanish colony at any point in time.

- to depict the spheres of influence in Iran. Only a part in the north and a part in the southeast were under Russian and British influence respectively, not the entire country.

- to depict the spheres of influence in Thailand. The central part of the country remained outside the spheres of European influence, but the northwestern part and the Malay peninsula were under British influence, and the northeast under that of the French.

- part of Xinjiang was under Russian influence in addition to Mongolia and part of Manchuria.

- strongly disagree with the definition of Ottoman Turkey as "a European power". It controlled (and modern-day Turkey still does control) territory in Europe yes, but then so does Kazakhstan. It's hardly enough ground for calling either of them European countries. Aside from the city of Istanbul, the Ottoman power-centre was firmly located in Anatolia, and they themselves didn't even regard their country as being European.

- the summary needs a small change. Russian and Soviet-held Siberia and Central Asia weren't Russian colonies, but direct components of the Russian state.

- could you add Antarctica and the territorial claims of the Europeans in the region?

Thanks in advance.

TES hasn't edited for two years, but with the lack of a response, I'd be glad to pick up any requests you have. To address each one:
  • It looks like someone else mentioned Patagonia on the talk page.
  • Can I get a map or in-depth description of the European influence on Iran, so I can make this one equal?
  • Can I get a map or in-depth description of the European influence on Thailand?
  • Can I get a map or in-depth description of the Russian influence on Xinjiang?
  • The Ottomon/Russia parts are probably something to take to the talk page. FYI, I am probably going to move it to commons, along with the whole attribution history.
  • That's something else to take to the talk, as international law doesn't recognize any claims to territory below a certain latitudinal line. Magog the Ogre (talk) 20:08, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok, the relevant discussion and requests have been taken to User talk:Magog the Ogre and the file's discussion page.--Morgan Hauser (talk) 01:14, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
