  • Comment: What were the references used to accurately display the routes in the image? --Redtigerxyz Talk 05:19, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Perhaps a legend (red, blue etc) could be included in a small box within the picture? Punkmorten (talk) 19:59, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Temporary Oppose - While informative, there are a few issues in this pic - 1) Legend - What do the lines and colors mean? 2) It is blurry at low resolutions... could it be changed somewhat, or, if possible, uploaded as an svg?? 3) The states of the time are not shown, which takes away from the informativeness of the image - add the states/kingdoms/domains, and the picture becomes far clearer.
