I noticed on the List of map projections page that we are not linking the picture of the map because it is licensed as non-free content. So I was wondering if we are allowed to use it here? -Daggath

[edit]

This article does not explore any deficiencies in the map projection, nor does it outline any technical detail on the projection's formulation or nature. All map projections could allow for Antarctica to be displayed as a whole if translated appropriately, that is not a unique benefit to this projection. I believe the sentence "The map substantially preserves [...] shapes of all continents and oceans while it reduces distortions of their shapes" is awkward and unscientific. There is no reason this projection should be compared exclusively to the Mercator. "Temporal themes" is vague and I don't believe satellite orbits specifically should be described in this way. Based on the image included in the article, I also have trouble understanding how any satellite orbit could be depicted as a continuous line without breaks at the borders, much less an arbitrary satellite orbit, which is implied by the text.

I believe this article should be significantly reworded or deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by sgfw (talkcontribs)
