Map colors

edit

The colors of Passaic and Hudson Counties are too similar. At default size, it's very hard to tell which one is which or whether they're the same county. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:11, 20 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

How about the blue color for Hudson County? I tried red but it looked too much like the purple color used for Bergen County. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 19:24, 20 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
I just realized: it's also hard to tell the difference between Union and Middlesex Counties. I'm thinking, we could use a contrasting orange color if red isn't working, and maybe a gray for the other county? Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:41, 20 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
I've tried orange for Middlesex County and I think it's an improvement. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 19:58, 20 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, it definitely is. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:01, 20 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
I'm hesitant to use gray when the rest of the color scheme is vibrant. As the two purple counties are not adjacent do they need to be changed? --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 20:06, 20 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
No. But Hudson and Passaic need to look more different from each other. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:09, 20 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
The brighter blue for Hudson makes the contrast better. It looks more like the color of the water but there is a thick black line between the two. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 20:12, 20 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
That does look better, thank you! Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:15, 20 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Moving listing details to city articles

edit

@Ikan Kekek, SelfieCity: I've moved all of the listing details to city articles, leaving only general descriptions in this region article. I don't know that area, though, so it would be helpful if someone eho does could take a look at the See and Do listings to choose the ones that really should be included in a region article. Thanks.

Thanks very much! I don't know and haven't been to most of the listed attractions. 71.172.67.234, do you know these towns, and if so, do you have any opinions about which of these attractions are most worth mentioning in this article? Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:56, 23 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
You'll need to let that IP know on their talk page, as IPs can't be pinged nor get notifications unless you leave them a message on their talk. :-( SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 13:04, 23 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
GZ, thanks for doing this. City articles remain stubs or outlines in many cases because their information is in the wrong article. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 14:17, 23 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
SHB2000, is there a way for pings of IPs to be enabled? Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:51, 23 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Sadly not. It's why I don't like IP editing (and I regret not creating an account on Wikipedia last year). It'll be worse after the foundation brings in an "IP masking" feature instead of just not allowing IP editing altogether. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 21:54, 23 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
