• Comment The author and CC license on the file information page is erroneous. Also, can you document what "minor corrections" you made to the image? As a resident, the map was very interesting :) Jujutacular (talk) 22:50, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

• Sorry, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Is it about the links being dead or that the CC license is just irrelevant? Also, I removed a couple small smudges (fingerprints?) from Chihuahua and Nuevo Leon. Thanks, - Awardgive. Help out with Project Fillmore County 02:09, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

• The CC license is irrelevant. Presumably the uploader on Flickr marked it as CC, but they (most likely) had no power to actually release it under a CC license, since they don't represent TxDOT. Jujutacular (talk) 06:26, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

• Okay, thanks for clarifying. I have removed it. Thanks, - Awardgive. Help out with Project Fillmore County 15:06, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

• Comment I wonder if this would benefit from a restoration. Some of the creases show heavier age discoloration than others, and the one that cuts right through the index on the right is particularly bad looking. Sᴠᴇɴ Mᴀɴɢᴜᴀʀᴅ Wha? 22:16, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
  • I'd probably say, yes, but have a somewhat full queue, so would rather it not be me. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 23:49, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
