Currently, this article is expected to be next weeks Collaboration of the Week, and this will give the article a well-needed expansion. ✏ Sverdrup 14:54, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

(However, related to you comparison, not much is fair in the world today. Comparing the website of AU and EU doesn't make me very happy either. ✏ Sverdrup 14:58, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC))

aye, this is true. i personally thought that in these modern times when image is everything, the AU would understand how important a good website, it's your entire credibility. kinda. you know what i mean. la gaie 19:48, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Maps

Just curious: how do people create these lovely maps? Shorne 03:10, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

There are a couple blank maps at Image:BlankMap-World.png, Image:BlankMap-World-1985.png (see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Maps/World). Given those it's easy to add colours in the specific countries you want, crop and resize them accordingly. Not sure how the blank maps were created though. Aris Katsaris 04:22, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

As a sidenote, and in case anyone is listening, I'd have liked a pre-WWII Blank map of the world also. In creating Image:Communism expansion.png I had to make the pre-WWII Soviet Union's borders myself -- and am not so sure I made a good job of it either. :-)

Table

I disagree with using the upper table. It is apparently designed for individual countries, and most of the cells do not apply. Maurreen 14:31, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I agree that parts of it look a bit odd, and could be deleted: a similar table (actually a template) appears in European Union. -- ALoan (Talk) 18:03, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
