! Deletion requests !

Hey mate, all power to you and your efforts to digitally conquer back your land from Guyana, but please check these two things:

• First, please copy the EXACT categories of the original maps. If a map is classified as "Category:Bilateral maps of Suriname", then don't add it to "Map" and "Suriname".
• Second and more seriously: don't falsify historic documents, scientific maps or official maps. For example the ones I point out below, and requested deletions already:
  • the one by the CIA: that was the historical outpot from an official source, and by uploading your map you claim that the CIA officially endorsed Suriname's claims in 1990, which appears very unlikely to me given that in reality they published maps in favor of Guyana's de-facto control of the territory.
  • (the same applies to official UN documents, of course)
  • the one by some Solargis consortium, where you just painted some more yellow stuff and slapped your favorite border on top. That is not how that works, because in reality, the yellow stuff (results of satellite-born radiation measurements) in the disputed territories is rather different, check it out here. To make it more difficult, both files operate on different gradients as well.

Other than that, I don't really think you're violating any rules here on Commons with your mission, but I advise you to seek out talks and discussions before inserting the enlarged Suriname maps into Wiki articles: your activism might not be welcome. All my best regards, -- Enyavar (talk) 22:11, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for neutralizing maps of Suriname

Dear SurinameCentral, thank you very much for adding maps of Suriname where you put a map of the Surinamese vision next to maps that are there that represent another version of the borders. There was a lack of these maps and in fact you are neutralizing the inventory of maps in this respect. Your maps are very welcome and necessary! Ymnes (talk) 08:56, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Yes indeed, the effort is appreciated. As long as official or historical maps from institutional sources were not manipulated, I have supported this action by correctly moving the files in the correct categories. --Enyavar (talk) 15:18, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Historische districten Suriname

Hoi SurinameCentral, ik zag dat je File:Political Map Suriname with Districts.png hebt aangemaakt waarbij de huidige districten heel mooi met ieder een eigen achtergrondkleur zijn weergegeven. Het lijkt er sterk op dat je die gemaakt hebt op basis van File:Suriname. LOC 91685921.jpg. Ik wil iets soortgelijks doen met File:Surinam. 3-68. LOC 74690517.jpg om een kaart te krijgen met de districtsindeling zoals die bestond bij de onafhankelijkheid van Suriname in 1975. Een beetje zoals deze foto. En op termijn wil ik zoiets ook met oudere kaarten doen om bijvoorbeeld inzichtelijk te maken hoe het voormalige district Suriname in de loop der tijden veranderd is. Kun je me uitleggen met behulp van welke tekenprogramma of zo je die kaart gemaakt hebt? - Robotje (talk) 03:43, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Hoi, het kan gedaan worden door middel van Programmas Zoals Adobe Illustrator in zijn geheel of in combinatie met een programma als ARC Gis als het om complexere kaarten gaat. Ik zal even een paar kaarten uitproberen aan de hand van de foto's in uw comment. SurinameCentral (talk) 20:15, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Please stop changing maps of Suriname.

@SurinameCentral: Please stop giving suriname all of it's disputed territory. While yes, suriname does claim it, Guyana controls that claim in practice. Also, it would ne helpful to mark out these disputes in light green. Thanks. WeaponizingArchitecture (talk) 14:09, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Wat hij bedoelt is of je de omstreden gebieden in het vervolg anders wilt wilt inkleuren. Zolang het grensconflict bestaat lijkt mij dat ook het beste. Al waardeer ik je werk wel heel erg, zeker weten, want de bestaande kaarten zijn ook voor een groot gedeelte een klerezooi en een Guyaanse bias. Ymnes (talk) 18:27, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Amen, finally someone who understands. i will reply in English so everyone can understand my point. We Surinamese are confronted with incomplete maps on the internet for decades. the maps on this platform are not neutral at all and the decisions taken by editors are far from transparent. the "disputed" rules are applied only when it comes to Suriname's views, where the disputed areas are left out completely, not even marked with a different green color. take a look on the Ortho map of Suriname, the description section tells you that the light green areas are claimed areas, even that was reverted by editors and the map locked from changes. you call this neutral? if the rules apply to Suriname , the same standards must apply to Guyana/French Guiana, where the disputed areas must be marked differently as well. as long as that is not the case, i do not believe in Neutrality and Transparency at all here. this is starting to look like favoritism towards guyana, and this has been going on for decades. The result is that Surinamese People could not even find a proper map online, all of them were wrong. besides the disputed areas that are left out, even the border near the mouth of the Corentyne is displayed wrong on almost all maps. the Corantijn river in its full width belongs to Suriname, Surinamese control, the border lies at the west bank (guyanese side). i am getting tired of explaining these issues, but until a fair and neutral solution is achieved we will keep protesting the wrong maps. SurinameCentral (talk) 20:39, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

I do not agree with you. Disputed means it is disputed between 2 states, you are not the ICJ, you cannot decide that the areas can be placed normally on the map of Guyana and left out completely on the maps of Suriname. If you want to be "Neutral" and "transparent" you have to at least add the disputed areas on the map of Suriname, labeled as disputed. But even THAT is not allowed here, Editors keep reverting those. A disputed area is from both sides, if it is true for Suriname it must be the same for Guyana and French Guiana, Why are these areas not even marked as disputed on their maps? I do not agree with the "Controlling" story because agreements were made in the past between Suriname ang Guyana do De-militarize the tigri but they never held their part of that agreement. Suriname is constantly being treated like a low priority, even on this platform where people claim to be Neutral. nothing is here seems to be neutral at all. When a disputed area is displayed in all Guyanese Glory nothing is wrong, the minute the Surinamese people show their maps, then everything is a problem, we are "Anti-Guyana" or whatever story i read here. I strongly Disagree with the decisions that are taken here, they are not Neutral and not transparent at all. On the page of India or Venezuela you can see their disputed areas marked in light green, i did the same for the ortho map on the page of Suriname, it was reverted and locked. you call this Neutral and Transparent ? Don't joke me my friend. SurinameCentral (talk) 20:32, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

And Finally, Take a look at Google Maps and how they display the borders between Venezuela-Guyana-Suriname-French Guiana. that is how it should be here on the wikipedia pages, if it is really Neutral and Transparent. there is some kind of discrimination going on here against suriname where editors Revert edits. If Guyana is allowed to display their maps as normal for 100%, showing disputed areas as theirs, Suriname should be allowed to do the same on their main page. When Guyana/French Guiana maps are not even mentioning an area in dispute, no one, and i say again, NO ONE delivers 1 comment on that. the very moment Suriname does it, BAM Problems. this is not fair at all. i hope you understand my point, i really hope you do. but as long as the rules are not applied equally, we cannot talk about neutrality and Transparency here. SurinameCentral (talk) 20:52, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

No, google maps does not show it that way. Google maps is also not perfect; there are a bunch of "towns" in the US which dont exist, and are just random railroad junctions/crossings in rural areas. WeaponizingArchitecture (talk) 22:39, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Google Maps Does show the Border as disputed, between Suriname-Guyana and Suriname-French Guiana and also Guyana-Venezuela. Check again. Other Mapping Sources like ESRI also provide a Neutral way of showing both claims. leaving the disputed areas off the map of Suriname and showing them normally on the map of Guyana/French Guiana is nothing close to "Neutral". the towns in the US thing is has nothing to do in this example i am giving you, stay on the course of the discussion points please. SurinameCentral (talk) 00:02, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Maps of Suriname - Sipaliwini District

@SurinameCentral: Hello brother. When creating or updating maps of Suriname, can you please include the disputed areas in Sipaliwini district? Litani and Tigri should be labelled. Use a dash line. Right now, it looks like a war map with Suriname invading French Guiana and Guyana. I agree that they belong to Suriname. But these maps are going to make people angry. We are a small country and want to work with our neighbors. Please update to include disputed areas. Thank you for your time, brother. DutchDaan (talk) 01:16, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

My family lives near the border. I do not want any problems. :( DutchDaan (talk) 01:19, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Excuse me @DutchDaan ??? what kind of argument is that "making people angry ???" what about the Territorial integrity of Suriname? Wikipedia does not show the disputed areas of Suriname at all, that is what needs to be set straight first. then after that these disputed areas need to be also marked on the map of Guyana and French Guiana, because it is disputed between these countries, it is not disputed in Suriname alone and shown normally on the map of Guyana and French Guyana. Do take the time to remove all the maps of Guyana and French Guiana too while you're at it, because disputed territory is shown normally as theirs. This is not only making people in Suriname angry but is also misinforming any reader who comes to wikipedia for "Neutral" info. SurinameCentral (talk) 01:47, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

As wikimedia commons is an international project, we are strive for neutrality, so if there is a disputed area, it should be clearly indicated as such. See User:Ymnes/Maps of Suriname Hans Erren (talk) 15:10, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

In almost every language the majority of maps is from the Guyanese view and nearly the rest is from a neutral point of view. In that case I opine that it's neutral too, to introduce maps with the Surinamese view. By the way, Dutch Daan is not Dutch. He created his account in order to uphold the biased situation for his motherland Guyana. See my talk with him on his talk page on Dutch Wikipedia. For this sake he reverted massively maps on about a dozen of Wikipedia's that show the border from the Surinamese view. Ymnes (talk) 15:19, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

everybody keeps making that statement of neutrality yet that is not reflected when it comes to Suriname and her territorial disputes. as i have written many many many times before, you cannot leave disputed areas completely off the map of Suriname, and show those same areas normally on the map of Guyana. if you truly wish to be neutral, those areas need to be first of all included on the map of Suriname (marked as disputed to avoid making people "angry") and those same disputed areas need to be marked as disputed on the maps of Guyana and French Guiana. until this is true, wiki will not be truly Neutral. SurinameCentral (talk) 17:14, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

This reply was meant for @DutchDaan. just to clarify things, since he commented about Neutrality on another post on a map file. SurinameCentral (talk) 17:16, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

@SurinameCentral: I have seen your recent maps and want to say I now support you 100% and I apologize for any argument. You have my support and respect. DutchDaan (talk) 04:27, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Suriname Districts 1968.png

Suriname Districts 1968.png

Hallo SurinameCentral, ik zag dat je vorig jaar de kaart hiernaast hebt aangemaakt. Op zich mooi, maar ik mis het Para district. Ik lees hier: "In 1958 werd het zuidelijk deel van het district Suriname afgescheiden, om er het district Brokopondo van te maken. Toen in 1968 het district Para werd ingesteld, moest opnieuw het district Suriname een deel van zijn grondgebied afstaan voor het nieuwe district." In de Vrije Stem van 5 april 1969 stond over het afscheid van districtscommissaris Pocornie: "De heer Pocornie heeft sinds de wederinstelling van het district Para, op 1 januari 1968, het beheer over dit district gevoerd." En hier lees ik "Op 1 januari 1968 werden de grenzen van Para herzien en werd het weer een distrikt . Daarmee kreeg Suriname negen distrikten."

Kortom, het Para district bestond blijkbaar (weer) vanaf 1 januari 1968. Als ik het goed heb bestond toen ook het Paramaribo district wat eveneens op die kaart ontbreekt. Met die twee erbij gaat het inderdaad om 9 districten. Mis ik iets of ging er wat fout toen je die kaart maakte?

Wellicht is het een idee om het Paramaribo district toe te voegen en de het jaartal '1968' te veranderen in '1958-1967' bij zowel de kaart als de filenaam. Dan klopt het wel. En dan zou t.z.t. mogelijk op basis daarvan dan Para toegevoegd kunnen worden in een nieuwe file met een andere naam zodat we een district overzicht hebben van voor en na 1 januari 1968. Dat zou helemaal top zijn, maar alleen de eerste aanpassing zou ook al mooi zijn. - Robotje (talk) 15:20, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Hoi, ik heb de indeling van Centraal Bureau Luchtkaartering Suriname uit 1968. ik heb momenteel niet zoveel vrije tijd, ik hoop over enkele weken wat meer tijd te hebben om het beter te onderzoeken. ik laat dan een bericht achter hier met mijn opmerkingen. bedankt voor je feedback. SurinameCentral (talk) 15:17, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Geen probleem als je het nu even te druk hebt. Bijdragen aan Commons is voor mij ook vrijwilligerswerk dus als andere zaken even een hogere prioriteit hebben dan gaat dat voor. Alvast bedankt voor de tussentijdse update. - Robotje (talk) 16:07, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Het blijkt trouwens dat het Brokopondo district op 1 januari 1959 tot stond kwam. Na toevoeging van het stadsdistrict Paramaribo zou jaartal '1968' dus dienen te veranderen in '1959-1967' bij zowel de kaart als de filenaam. Dat heeft niet zo'n haast want de huidige kaart staat al meer dan een half jaar op Commons en wordt bovendien momenteel niet gebruikt op Wikipedia of een ander zusterproject van Commons. - Robotje (talk) 18:59, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Wellicht ben je bovenstaand bericht vergeten, maar ik zou nog graag een reactie krijgen. - Robotje (talk) 19:04, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Ik heb op basis hiervan Paramaribo en Para erbij gedaan. Dat zou dan een goede weergave zijn van de verdeling NA 1 jan 1968.

voor de periode van 1958-1967 had je dan alleen paramaribo erbij, maar ik kan daar geen duidelijke kaart van vinden. heb jij er eentje? Op mijn kaart van Centraal Bureau voor luchtkaartering is paramaribo aangegeven door een heel klein stukje, slechts het druk bewoon gebied. het lijk meer op een Hoofdstad markering ipv een district. ik weet niet als het correct zal zijn als ik de grenzen van District paramaribo die hierop te zien zijn ook hanteer voor de periode 1958-1967 SurinameCentral (talk) 21:26, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Hoi, ik was het inderdaad vergeten. Ik maak mij niet zo druk om het gebruik van mijn kaarten op wikipedia, want daar ben ik van verbannen. lang verhaal, maar voor een site die claimt neutraal te zijn, is de gevestigde orde zwaar alergisch voor deze kaart van Suriname. ze willen liever de versie zien zonder de betwiste gebieden. de volledige versie van Suriname wordt door sommigen extremistisch genoemd , terwijl op de kaarten van Guyana en Frans guyana het wel is toegestaan dat ze officieele betwiste gebieden incorporeren zonder erbij te vermelden dat het betwist is.

maar laat dit maar even erbuiten. ik wil wel even natrekken waarom ik geen district Para zie op mijn kaart van 1968. Ik zie Hoofdstad paramaribo er wel op, maar het is niet gemarkeerd als district. het cenrum gedeelte is een beetje gearceerd. ik zou dat wel eventueel kunnen toevoegen op deze kaart hierboven. maar om district Para toe voegen moet ik eerst een goede kaart vinden die dat erop heeft. SurinameCentral (talk) 19:49, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Voor de buitengrenzen van het Paramaribo district en het Para district in 1968 zou ik naast deze kaart waaraan je hierboven al refereerde, ook kijken naar deze gekleurde districten kaart (die hier veel op lijkt maar uit een ander boek gefotografeerd lijkt). Wat voor (PC) software heb je trouwens gebruikt voor 'Suriname Districts 1968.png'? Ik was namelijk ooit van plan om een soortgelijke gekleurde districtenkaart van 1968 te maken als jij intussen al gemaakt hebt, maar wist niet goed hoe dat aan te pakken (zie dit hulpverzoek). Voor de districtenkaart van 1968 zal het binnenkort wel goed komen, maar 't.z.t. zou ik iets soortgelijks willen doen voor de periode voor 1927 (of daaromtrent?) op basis van deze kaart uit 1914. Jij weet blijkbaar wel hoe je dat met bepaalde (PC) software moet aanpakken. Dus ik ben benieuwd hoe jij dat gedaan hebt. - Robotje (talk) 00:49, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Hoi @Robotje ik heb hier een voorbeeld Hier . kun je even kijken als het goed is zo? Laat me weten als er feedback is. dan zal ik heb inkleuren en op wikimedia commons plaatsen.

Ik zal proberen een digitale indeling van File:Surinam. 3-68. LOC 74690517.jpg en kaart uit 1914 te maken. SurinameCentral (talk) 12:47, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Goed bezig! Bij die rechter afbeelding zou ik kiezen voor "Suriname vanaf 1 januari 1968" in plaats van "Suriname na 1 januari 1968" maar voor de rest niets op aan te merken. Bedankt. - Robotje (talk) 13:05, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Districten indeling van Suriname vanaf 1 jan 1968

Districten indeling van Suriname 1914-1917

Districten indeling van Suriname 1958-1967

SurinameCentral (talk) 15:02, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Wow, dat ziet er al heel goed uit. Die districtenkaart van 1914 had me heel wat avonden gekost met vermoedelijk ook nog eens een minder goed resultaat. Wat me wel opvalt is dat het 'Beneden Suriname' district ontbreekt en daarmee samenhangend, dat het stadsdistrict Paramaribo te groot is. In dit overzicht uit 1903 staat een opsomming zoals Suriname toen verdeeld was:

"De kolonie Suriname wordt, behalve in een Stads-District, verdeeld in 12 Districten: Nickerie, Coronie, Beden-Saramacca, Boven-Saramacca, Beneden-Suriname, Beneden-Para, Boven-Para, Boven-Suriname, Beneden-Commewijne, Boven-Commewijne, Cottica, Marowijne. ... Het District Beneden-Suriname grenst ten Noorden aan den Atlantischen Oceaan; ten Westen aan de Districten Beneden-Saramacca en Beneden-Para; ten Zuiden aan Paramaribo, het Kanaal van Saramacca, de ..."

In dit overzicht uit 1915 staat nog steeds dezelfde opsomming van de 12 districten naast het stadsdistrict. In je kaart voor 1914 is een kleine aanpassing dus wenselijk. Wat nu aangegeven is als het Paramaribo district hoort het Beneden Suriname district te worden en een soort vette stip met label is nodig voor het stadsdistrict Paramaribo. Het zou fantastisch zijn als je dat nog kan aanpassen. - Robotje (talk) 17:04, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Je hebt helemaal gelijk,het is mij in eerste instantie niet opgevallen dat er nog een beneden Suriname labeltje op de kaart stond. ik heb hem zojuist aangepast en een nieuwe versie geupload.

Suriname Districten 1914-1917

SurinameCentral (talk) 19:07, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Heel mooi. Het stoorde me al een tijd dat er geen duidelijk kaartjes beschikbaar waren van de historische districtsindeling van Suriname. Zelf heb ik onvoldoende ervaring met het aanmaken daarvan zodat oppakken van dat probleem uitgesteld bleef worden. Met jouw kaartjes is dat manco gelukkig verholpen. Als User:Ymnes of iemand anders het nog in nl:Districten van Suriname kan verwerken kunnen de gebruikers van nl-wiki er hun voordeel mee doen. - Robotje (talk) 19:29, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Je kan GIS software zoals ArcGis bekijken op youtube. er zijn ook andere soortgelijke programmas. Daarna kan je het fijne werk afronden met programmas zoals adobe illlustrator. Er zijn ook gratis opensource programmas die hetzelfde kunnen doen. Er zijn aardig wat videos op youtube waaruit je kan leren. het gaat alleen wat tijd in beslag nemen om het allemaal uit te zoeken.

Sucess ermee! SurinameCentral (talk) 19:55, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Bedankt voor de tip. - Robotje (talk) 20:45, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Gender integration in the Suriname Military

Hi SurinameCentral, I am interested in answers to some questions with regards to your nation's military. I am researching for a major update of a world map on women in the military, but the available sources in English that I found seem insufficient, misleading or outdated. I am aware that everyone is allowed for voluntary military service in Suriname, but

• what is the latest statistic on how many women are serving? (percent of total military, but number of women is also okay)
• based on 2012 source, women are "integrated" in the military (everyone serves together), is that correct?
• what are the ranks available for women, are there captains/colonels/generals etc?
• are women still generally restricted from handling heavy equipment (as they were 2012, see above?)
• are women allowed in infantry/combat positions?
