Talk:Southeastern New South Wales

Capitalization of "southeastern"
Just a note that per Capitalization, "southeastern" should not be capitalized as Southeastern New South Wales has yet to attain proper name status. -- SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 10:34, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Is the banner too Snowy Mtns specific?
Just wondering, but is it too Snowy Mountains specific? The Snowies do make up most of the region, but could this banner on the right make up a more neutral kind of scene between the coast and the Snowy Mountains? For a bit more context, both the Far South Coast and the Sapphire Coast are very hilly, so a banner of mountains would make sense. -- SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 13:29, 2 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I like this alternative banner better, but if the Snowies make up most of the region, why shouldn't they represent it? Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:40, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Because this article also covers the South and Sapphire Coasts too and finding snow in both these regions is next-to-impossible. But I too like the alternate banner better. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 02:21, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
 * And I just realised that the alternate banner was taken in Alpine National Park, Victoria. I should have checked before cribbing it from Australian Alps. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 02:21, 3 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I cropped two more banners. Out of these two, I think 2 is my favourite as it has a mix of snow and grass. -- SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 06:06, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't see the banner showing what's merely one famous attraction in the region (city, whatever) being a problem. I consider Banners 1-2 clearly inferior to the existing banner, and Banner 2 is - nothing personal - totally boring to me. Someone who had never seen snow might find it interesting, except that they've probably had the chance to see many other photos of snow. I'd suggest keeping the banner as is.

A minor static map request
Unfortunately, my Inkscape is unwilling to properly work after it recently crashed, so I'm wondering if anyone here is willing to do a minor change to the static map in Southeastern New South Wales.

Currently, the text in the northeastern region says "Far South Coast". However, our article is now called Eurobodalla – I'm wondering if anyone is able to edit the text to say "Eurobodalla" instead of "Far South Coast".

Thanks in advance,

 * I made a try, commenting out the tspan etc. of "Far" and replacing "South" and "Coast" with "Euro-" respectively "bodalla". I don't know the SVG syntax, so something went wrong: the text was still placed at the former two lines, not the latter ones. It doesn't look very nice like this, but if nobody is fixing it soon, I'll upload that version. Note that it's the SVG version that should be edited, not the PNG version linked from the image. –LPfi (talk) 08:44, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the fix. I guess I don't know what I did to the file, but something is better than nothing. SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 10:15, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I can give it a try today. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 14:41, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Thank you, SelfieCity! It looks great :-). SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 00:16, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * For sure! It's odd that Inkscape would've crashed like that. I feared that the same would happen when I opened the file, but it did not.
 * By the way, I wasn't sure on the size of the original image and since there was a slight issue on the lower side of the file, I adjusted the crop somewhat.
 * Keep up the nice static maps whenever you get Inkscape back &mdash; the one I just edited looks really good. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 02:39, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Inkscape and it worked! I don't know what would have happened to cause that, though. I also tried reopening File:New England NSW regions map.png again and to my surprise, Inkscape works completely fine. Either way, thanks for the compliment :-). You and Shaundd did kinda inspire me to start drawing static maps, and I must say, I'm now really into it. SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 03:35, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
