Design Guidelines are based on ▸location map design of the German map shop (in German). It's preferable to derive new locator maps from existing location maps. Please keep both size and ratio in this case. Thus the new locator maps may still be applied as location map (▸Guide). Marker color is supposed to be darkred. Waterbodies may be transparent, to show other objects better. Please be aware that this guide is only a recommendation. It’s not an inevitable law!

Disputed areas
rest of Serbia: foreign or the same country?
Kosovo: part of Serbia?
Whether South Ossetia or Abkhazia form a part of Georgia is disputed. The marked Georgian administrative region however is partly under Georgian control (solid red) while other parts are part break-away "country" South Ossetia (hatched).
India claims some northern areas (hatched) while other areas are controlled by India but challenged by other countries. India claims all of Kashmir (red areas), while it controls only the southern part of it (cf. broad red stripes vs. narrow red stripes).
Western Sahara: part of Morocco?
Like above. However, the map differentiates whether the disputed area is controlled by Morocco or not.

File:Yug?1.jpg is a Robber fly, most likely, though hard to identify, is Proctacanthus brevipennis(here). female of a Tolmerus species. Unfortunately, not all species can be determined by photographs. Most species of this genus are difficult and you need also information on the male genitalia. --de:user:Dysmachus
CJK strokes set (37+4). Researchs, choices, and drawing by myself according to various Taiwanese, Chinese, Japanese and Korean sources.
This study was made without looking on other similar projects, this study was made directly by a personnal analisis of traditional sources (Kangxi dictionary, Taiwan), Chinese, Japanese and Korean sources. (see below)
Differences with Unicode.org set of 36 CJK strokes:
_ The G is deletable, not use by Unicode.org
_ The W is not use by Unicode.org
_ The BXG, WG2, and XG are merge by Unicode.org
_ The HXG and HZWG are merge by Unicode.org
This explain why Unicode.org have 36 CJK strokes, a why my study lead to 41 CJK strokes.
Main sources:
http://www.kangxizidian.com/index2.php - Kangxi dictionary, need to study traditional stroke shapes and traditional number of stroke or a given character
stroke order may appear clearer with tiny change.
This 2 yellow and pink colors have at least a tiny misleading point, which disallow easy stroke-order reading/guessing.
other shape or stroke order difficulties (difficult to remember/explain) without solution to improve the readability.
CJK characters' shape -even in Kaishu- is highly variable, according to the writer, the stroke order use, or to the century.
Now, in this 21th century, we have some Ministry of the Education who made an hard work to set up recommendations on both shape (one official shape by character), and for stroke order.
The trouble is that this two data are sometimes conflicting on modern printed characters, when old shape -visible on the Kangxi zidian or on old stelles- is working together with the stroke order to teach a smooth obvious way to write a caracter. This is by example the cases for 广,鹿,艮,etc. : looking at the traditional shape (on the Kangxi Zidian), the way of writing (stroke order) is obvious. Looking on 2008's printed book or computer fonts, the way of writing is unclear : 2 possibilities are open to us, the false one being encouraged by the 2008's shape. This is, in my opinion, a residual mistake inherited because of mecanic printing : shape have continue to oscilate and change, without control of human hand and calligraphic brush.
I would encourage to correct this aspects. This would ask to make minor shape-change on some radicals, on Unicode.org. This will then ask all characters using these radicals to be update. An huge and slow work, alone able to take 2008's characters shapes back to their former "human-friendly" shape.
