Support Great EV, excellent vector image. Elucidate ^{(parlez à moi)} _{Ici pour humor} 15:50, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
comment. Sepparatists is misspelled. de Bivort 17:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Whereabouts? I can only see it once, where it's correctly spelt with one 'p' - Separatist. --jjron (talk) 07:11, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Breakaway is certainly misspelled (legend). MER-C 09:56, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's been fixed. I just realised that the creator is updating this map as we comment and overwriting the nommed version rather than adding edits, so Debivort was right, separatist was misspelled on the version he looked at. --jjron (talk) 23:25, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - symbols and lines are used for the sea campaign that are never explained in the key. Specifically: The crossed swords, the Georgian red line (Was that an offensive? If not, it shouldn't have the same look at the line into South Ossetia) There's also an unexplained icon at Tskhinvali, looks like it might mean a paratroop drop? --Golbez (talk) 06:53, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, needs sources for verifiability. gren グレン 19:28, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

and you need more edits and reading the refs in the article it is linked to. Nergaal (talk) 20:26, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Now that typos have been fixed, it's a detailed, accurate, and scalable image.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 15:55, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What verifiable sources do we have to prove this is accurate? It very well might be but diagrams, graphs, maps, must show sources to verify their accuracy. Especially wen they are trying to be featured. gren グレン 12:41, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Wasn't there Russian artillery too? Why is Grozny spelled Groznyy? And it's not obvious why the location of airports is important. Narayanese (talk) 11:36, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Conditional support, with comment. Should war be capitalised? The article refers both the South Ossetia War and the South Ossetia war. Either way, excellent EV, very detailed and easy to read. Verify it and I'm good. Amphy (talk) 20:45, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely OPPOSE Details in map require verifiable sources. Specifically, no reliable sources cited for depiction of naval blockade. A map that reflects the opinion of the maker does depict credible fact.Moryak (talk) 21:31, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
