May be it's better to be less colours than it is now to provide better understanding by other people? For example - recognized, unrecignized and unknown. Only three colours. It is hard to understand what's going on this map now for an ordinary person. --Dima1 (talk) 20:31, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't this image be merged with Image:Kosovo recognition.png?

No, I don't think so. This image is much better than the one you've linked IMO. --Tocino 19:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

The Indian Nicobar and Andaman Islands are colored as though they were part of Indonesia, not India. Tomer^talk 22:37, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Puerto Rico and other US territories do not have international relations, it's only thru the USA. All of them shall be marked blue.

Comments:

• Manitoulin Island is not shaded as part of Canada.
• The Lakshadweep islands are not shaded as part of India.
• The Western Aleutian Islands (Semisopochnoi and west) are not colored correctly as part of the US. They are colored as if they were part of Russia.
• Ceuta and Melilla are not shaded as part of Spain.
• Afghanistan's south border (with Pakistan) is messed up.

• The last point isn't really relevant. Take a look at the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina. --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 23:00, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I've fixed all of that except Afghanistan and the Andaman&Nicobar (as those are now coloured the same again, anyway); I've also fixed Gibraltar and Akrotiti & Dhekelia. Anything else? —Nightstallion 23:03, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind the last point...it was an error with my moniter that I have since fixed. Oh yeah, just found some more:

• The Riau Islands are not shaded as part of Indonesia.
• Martha's Vineyard, right off of Massachusetts is not shaded as part of the US.
• An incorrectly colored pixel near the mouth of the Churchill River in Newfoundland and Labrador. See this (go all the way to the right)

That's all I can find. Nice work. Spencer^T♦C 00:33, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

• Puerto Rico is under US jurisdiction and it's not marked blue, it should be.

Why is the Falkland Islands marked along with Argentina and not with the UK? —Kurykh 00:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Corrected, except for the minor pixel off Newfoundland -- that's meant to be Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, isn't it? —Nightstallion 00:42, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

You are correct. I can't tell (laptop has crappy color)... are the Andamans and Nicobars now gray? or tan? (should be tan). Also, I can't see what color the Dutch Antilles are. Are the ABC and Leeward Islands taking independent stances from that of the Netherlands? Tomer^talk 03:16, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

They're tan, as both India and Indonesia are tan, currently, that's fine. You're correct with ABC and Leeward Islands, though. —Nightstallion 09:46, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

The pixel to the east of Newfoundland and Labrador is not St. Pierre and Miquelon, which is southwest of Labrador. Spencer^T♦C 22:20, 19 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.205.122.76 (talk)

Shouldn't New Zealand be tan? "We will neither recognise nor not recognise" sounds like a neutral position to me. — Rickyrab | Talk 00:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

They said they don't support the move and will not recognise but will not make any formal statement like some countries did like Russia who openly opposes. --Avala (talk) 21:48, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Crimea is part of Ukraine, not Russia.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 22:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I hope it doesn't take much time to do edits because it could be pretty tedious. ;-) Poland should become yellow now because the president who disagrees with the independence has delayed any decision. --Lumidek (talk) 11:51, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Croatia has joined the same approach as the Czech Republic - won't hurry and will recognize after a majority of EU countries does so. So it should probably become neutral, too. --Lumidek (talk) 23:05, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

The government itself did not state to intend recognizing Kosovo yet. Only two committees gave the recommendation to do so, therefore it hasn't be stated yet. (See http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/front/Swiss_one_step_closer_to_recognising_Kosovo.html?siteSect=105&sid=8772300&rss=true&ty=st) --Arsenio (talk) 12:22, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

These COLORS make no sense, nor does the key. GREEN? RED? Whoever is updating this map I hope they are doing it based on official statements, which is hard to believe considering many countries shaded in colors here have said little to nothing. Kosova2008 (talk) 23:01, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Someone please give Crimea to Ukraine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.193.199 (talk) 15:52, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
