It's hard for me to distinguish light red from tan sometimes in this picture. Could the tan be either made more grey, or could light red be made slightly more red to make it easier to distinguish? The Jade Knight (talk) 06:10, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Where is the discussion of methodology?!? Is this just a big original research project? -Exucmember (talk) 18:50, 18 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

How can this even be considered "original research" when 100% of it is based on polls? Armyrifle (talk) 19:26, 20 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
How do you put the polls together? Who decided that "half life" was the most appropriate way to deal with the issue of current impact, and why? Who decided that a period of 10 days was most appropriate, and why? Who decided not to include any other weightings (such as those used in some methodologies for combining polls), and why? Editors might discuss and come to consensus on a procedure that is already established and can be referenced (such as the methodology used on fivethirtyeight.com, which is mentioned on at least one page using this map) or they can make up their own methodology. Which is this? Where is the discussion? -Exucmember (talk) 06:05, 22 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
