- Comment I have some minor issues. The most significant is the choice of year range, 1199 to 1375. The boundaries shown are not either - does that mean that the 1375 boundary was the same as 1266 (seems unlikely?). What about 1199–1204? Secondly, there's no indication what replaced Rum in 1307. (Compounded by the fact it lies past 1266.) I also think a better colour could have been chosen for Cyprus. "Payas Portela" looks like a single place. The hyphen in the date range should be a dash. Also, it's not clear from whom the land taken between 1204 and 1266 was taken, which I think is an important part of the value of such a map. (And mutata mutandis for the area lost.) I think also "Permission has been received from the copyright holder to license this material under the GNU Free Documentation License.", judging by the licencing section, must also include CC-BY-SA. (The licencing could more clearly be separated into two parts - the underlying work and the alterations.) Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 20:21, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
