I wish to question the accuracy of this map. On it it says suspected cases in Victoria and South Australia. I have heard absolutely nothing on these states having the suspected virus. New South Wales and TAsmania do have suspected cases and I have no problems with that on the map. However, Western Australia and Queensland do have suspected cases, especially Queensland.

So why is this map so WRONG? Can we have some justice here?

People did not know how to update the map, now User:Markhurd is keeping it up to date. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:13, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From User talk:Markhurd#File:H1N1_Australia_Map.svg:

Hi Mark, now that there are starting to be some interesting numbers of cases of swine flu in Australia, perhaps we can pick colours to indicate the number of confirmed cases in each state in File:H1N1 Australia Map.svg. Perhaps the scheme used inFile:H1N1 Canada Map by confirmed cases.svg is satisfactory. What do you think? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:24, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know it its not logarithmic, but to be optimistic, I suggest a complete legend with slightly lower steps (not necessary to update existing ledgend until the colours are used -- I changed from named colours so I know what numbers to use in the svg file):

  #000000 deaths

  #8B0000 100+ cases

  #CC3300 20+ cases

  #FF6666 5+ cases

  #FF9999 1+ cases

  #FF9900 suspect cases only

  #B9B9B9 no cases

Updated 14:35, 24 May 2009 (UTC) just so I don't need to edit this page to copy the colour codes into the svg file. Mark Hurd (talk) 14:35, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That looks to be a better idea! I was not too sure about firebrick coeds myself! As the number changes, the scale can change, as long as there are reliable statistics. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:56, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's a big problem with the new map version, no one has updated the other languages to take into account the new colour key. It should just have been created as a new image file instead. This file is used in multiple Wikipedias, not just the English one. 70.29.208.129 (talk) 15:19, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
