Welcome![edit]

Hello, Janwillemvanaalst, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, especially what you did for Arnhem. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Maps[edit]

I have seen your recent edits and have to congratulate you with the quality of your work! The municipal topographical maps are of great quality and you seem to place them well in the articles based on the current size. You might be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps, I myself am not a member, but these kinds of projects are a way on the English-language Wikipedia to bring people with similar interests together.

Do you use vector graphics to create you maps? In that case you might consider saving your work in *.svg, so it scales nicer (arguments).

Keep up the good work! CRwikiCA talk 21:51, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the compliment! Ever since the Dutch government declared all official topographic data to be "open geo data" (as of 2012), a world of map possiblities has opened up. The maps are compiled using vector data (shapefiles, PostGIS databases, GML) but are made up of many layers (over seventy), and my GIS tool (QuantumGIS) does not yet support the export of a map as .svg in a satisfactory way. With the upcoming release of QGIS 2.0, that may change though. Janwillemvanaalst (talk) 10:28, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Map updates[edit]

I have noted you are updating some of the maps on Wikipedia. This is of course a worthwhile contribution. I have also noted that in some cases you have reset the positions of these maps after people had reordered them previously to fit in a better spot in the page. Could you, moving forward, try to maintain the current settings of the maps when you update them? Keep up the good work! CRwikiCA talk 20:45, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the message. I will of course contribute - like all Wikipedia users - to find the best spot for the maps on the page. My intention is never to revert re-ordered positions by other users, but to the find the best fitting place on the page. Of course, 'best' is always somewhat subjective... Janwillemvanaalst (talk) 10:02, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I have to agree that "best" is subjective. Keep up the good work! CRwikiCA talk 18:14, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

June 2014[edit]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edittoLauwersmeer may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Disambiguation link notification for December 22[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited A Course in Miracles, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ego. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

municipalities of the Netherlands[edit]

Hi Janwillemvanaalst, I see that u´ve updated the municipalities of the Netherlands map which merged the municipalities from 403 to 393 municipalities. I just want to know the names of those 10 merged municipalities coz I work on the same article but in Arabic. alvast bedankt --Wafaashohdy (talk) 11:37, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alkmaar (merger of Alkmaar/Schermer/Graft-De Rijp; Krimpenerwaard (merger of Ouderkerk, Vlist, Nederlek, Bergambacht and Schoonhoven); Nissewaard (merger of Bernisse and Spijkenisse); Groesbeek (merger of Groesbeek, Ubbergen and Millingen); Maasdonk has ceased to exist and has been split up between s-Hertogenbosch and Oss. That makes for 10 less municipalities. Janwillemvanaalst (talk) 19:36, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
