Dear Golbez,

United States historical maps
Hi,
I noticed that you've been editing your series of United States historical maps. I have two requests:
1. Can you edit the labeled maps like https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/United_States_Central_map_1780-03-00_to_1780-10-25.png, even though they're not shown on the Territorial Evolution of the United States Wikipedia page?
2. Can you show the Northwestern North America, Pacific Ocean, and Caribbean maps to the same scale as the Central North America maps, and with the same image aspect ratio? The Pacific Islands will probably need to be shown as insets.
Thanks in advance! Squee3 (talk) 20:08, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

United States historical maps, again
Hi,
I noticed that your new Pacific Ocean maps aren't to the same scale as the others. Would you be willing to make a series of maps of just Hawaii to the same scale as the others?
Thanks in advance! Squee3 (talk) 01:41, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Re: having all maps to the same scale, I just think it would look nice. Squee3 (talk) 17:02, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Re: the Pacific map scale, maybe keep the maps you have, but create a separate series of to-scale maps truncated to just Hawaii? Squee3 (talk) 21:14, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Hawaii historical maps
Would you be willing to make of series of historical maps of just Hawaii? They don't have to be a part of the Territorial Evolution of the United States map collection, but they should have the same map scale, aspect ratio, and style. Squee3 (talk) 19:15, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
