[edit]

@PrinceGloria I prefer this one. --Lkcl it (Talk) 17:58, 10 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Well, I don't, graphically the current one is nicer to me, it's a splendid photo even if it does not include a lake. PrinceGloria (talk) 21:42, 10 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Yes, you are right ... It seems to be more suitable with the title we have chosen, the only thing is that I don't like the the clouds. --Lkcl it (Talk) 17:56, 11 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Heh, that's what makes it so appealing to me, I like the cloud-shrouded Alps, and Bergamo for that matter :) PrinceGloria (talk) 21:51, 11 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
I also prefer the current banner - it's a prettier photo. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:05, 11 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Map?

[edit]

User:Shaundd, any chance you'd be interested in making one for the region? PrinceGloria (talk) 20:59, 15 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

I'm very interested but silly busy with work right now so it will probably take a while to put all the bells and whistles in the map. I'll upload it in phases so there's at least something there. -Shaundd (talk) 04:30, 16 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Can't tell you how happy and obliged I am! PrinceGloria (talk) 05:08, 16 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
The first pass is up, still need to add a bunch of roads and railroads. Cheers -Shaundd (talk) 05:44, 22 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Quick question -- for the railroads, are the ones mentioned in the "Get around" section the key ones to show on the map? Thanks. -Shaundd (talk) 14:52, 23 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Absolutely - and pretty much the only ones :) Don't forget about the lines to Milan though! PrinceGloria (talk) 00:26, 24 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
You have done a beautiful job! I want only to suggest few changings:
  1. Val Camonica is a Valley, so I'll remove the spot on the map. In this subregion I'll add Ponte di Legno.
  2. I'll add the route that connects the west bank of Lake Garda
  3. I'll add Livigno (if possible) and the name of the valley in Sondrio province Valtellina.
  4. I'll add Lake Idro
Many thanks --Lkcl it (Talk) 11:58, 24 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

The next version of the map is up. I think I've got all the railroads now, let me know if I missed something. There's also a road to every location now. I left some roads out though to reduce clutter -- like the road that goes by Lago d'Idro and a couple of roads that cross the Swiss border (SS37 and the highway from Tirano). Should these be included?

Hi Lkcl it, I added Lake Idro, Livigno and the road on the west side of Lake Garda. I left Val Camonica in because that's the article we have right now; if it changes in the future it'll be easy to update the map. I also left out Valtellina because we don't mention it in the article at all and it seems to cover a fairly large area that wouldn't be marked on the map since we don't have subregions. -Shaundd (talk) 21:21, 31 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

It's just brilliant! If I could be allowed to be nitpicky, I find the roads overlapping railroads making the latter hard to make out - how about picturing them as running side-by-side rather than over one another when they are parallel? PrinceGloria (talk) 02:41, 1 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
I had a feeling you were going to say something like that. :-) No worries, I'll do it. -Shaundd (talk) 03:14, 1 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
