==Maps==
 
Hi PL,
 
  
In the past you have added maps as references: [[A Game of Thrones-Map of the North]] and [[A Storm of Swords-Map of the North]]. The maps are then registered as not yet existing articles.
 
 
Of course the maps are references but officially the maps are copyright. So what are we going to do? I think we have the following options:
 
* Scan the maps from the book and add them under "fair use". This is the same as the images of the book covers.
 
* Other option is to change the reference from a link to an article to a hard copy reference. Instead we could add the [http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/File:The_North.pngnew non-copyright maps] which we can change as we see fit, to the articles itself.
 
 
Let me hear your thoughts,[[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 13:10, 18 March 2011 (CDT)
 
 
 
:I have found & uploaded a number of maps that are based on a non copyright map that was originally made on wikipedia. The original wik map it is licensed under the GNU which means we can freely use and change it. I used Paint to add a few names of towns & castles. There is currently a map for each region (see for instance [[the North]]), and also on of the whole of Westeros: see [[Westeros]].
 
:NB They are still very basic maps, just the rivers and the place of the town, not very fancy. 
 
 
:About the spoilers: I guess if we just add geographical info it will not spoil the story. We can start there.
 
 
:If we would want to show for instance the travels of Daenerys then it is different. We should use a different map for those kind of things. We can copy a "normal map" and change it. I believe that on La Guarde de Nuit there were using something that hides the info unless you press it to show it. I'll have a look. [[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 18:28, 18 March 2011 (CDT)
 
 
 
Thank you. I am happy the templates worked. Now we can map the whole of Westeros! [[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 13:31, 10 April 2011 (CDT)

Hi PG, I did not mean you with my remark. Just wanted to remind some people that the wiki is not a "You shout, we do it" system. If someone has (stong) opinions about the wiki that is great. The worst thing would be if everyone was indifferent. But changes are made by doing things not by shouting to others, like you and me, to change it. I hope the other guys take the hint.

== Battle maps ==
 
 
Thank you very much for your kind remarks. I had been working on this for a while but was not satisfied with the result. In the end I thought what the heck; I'll just do it. [[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 12:28, 11 August 2011 (CDT)
 
 
== CSS ==
 
 
I tried out some other thing too; I made a personal CSS file.
 
 
Using this file allows I can change the layout of the wiki. Currently it is not possible to create a css that works for all users (no authorisation and Rann cannot do it as long as the bridge is not functioning properly). You can give it a try by copying the data from [[User:Scafloc/iceandfire.css]] to you [[User talk:The Pale Griffin/iceandfire.css|personal css file]]. You still have to set [[Special:Preferences#prefsection-1|your preferences]] to "IceAndFire (default | Preview | Custom CSS)". It is really still a first try but I would be grateful for feedback. Especially what we could use as background. Cheers, [[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 12:39, 11 August 2011 (CDT)
 
 
== Forum ==
 
 
Don't let them get to you! If all the guy wanted was for the POV character category to include an explanation (of POV character) he would he added it himself! [[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]] 17:45, 16 August 2011 (CDT)
 
 
==WATCH HERE==
 
Hi there, this is the only way i could contact and would appreciate your response, you added "House Hightower is as rich as House Lannister and can field three times as many swords as other Tyrell bannermen. More, if they took everyone possible out of Oldtown." Could you please provide a source for that? I am in the middle of an argument and i need to quote the source. Thanks
 
 
== Maps ==
 
 
Hi PL, I think the Amoka kings copyright was not clear. In the text of the other Amoka pictures there was nowhere anything from which you could see that only those could be used. For me it was also something like "I think we cannot use them but I don't remember the details" and it took me a while to find them (the details). 
 
 
About the new maps; the information about the copyright text is very specific. And for the political map[http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/File:Westeros_political_map.jpg] it is very different than for the Other-in-law pictures. So I see no reason to doubt this. Btw is it possible to for to be able to receive PM on the forum (or email via the the wiki). Sometimes that is a better way to communicate. Cheers, [[User:Scafloc|Scafloc]]
