Yes! Please just use the "Feedback" button on the side of the interface - after you zoom the map and select time - then you can annotate, and it gives us most relevant context to your feedback
I don't see the "Feedback" button. I'm using the Vivaldi browser (based on Chromium, I think).
Most of the place names are clickable, with the notable exception of Israel (both Judah and Samariah) around 900 BC, and for Israel (the united monarchy) around 1000 BC. The mouse cursor changes shape, but nothing happens if you already have the Wikipedia panel open; if it's not already open, you get a blank panel. Broken link?
uBlock Origin hid the feedback button for me. It's possible a similar extension or built in blocking functionality in Vivaldi may be doing the same to you.
This would be a very important feature to me! Very interesting to understand the dynamics of it, before and after changes, how long areas were contested for etc.
Great freaking work. Have been waiting for someone to do something like this for years.
We also would have some inputs on some of the short-lived territories in the U.S. West that were important and had a role in later regional development. How much do we need to substantiate the addition of a specific territory to the project?
Aside from the "lost state of Franklin", there were territories like Jefferson/Colona, Huron, Lincoln, Shoshone and a number of others that pop up from the late 1850's up to the 1890's.
I agree it probably makes sense for the map to use UN recognized names of the time for times the UN was around and had recognized names for. Whether or not it's the absolute best answer in a given situation... it at least provides a definitive source to defer to for the modern period where the most debates might come from. For more historic names other methods need to be used and blended to the modern names which is sure to be a treat of user debate :).
If I look up the "Grand Duchy of Lithuania" on wikipedia, the years for the state do not match the data on the map. Is it because the data is disputed, or Wikipedia is wrong or there is a bug on the Timemap?
That is in dispute and depends on which party is in power, by the year. Until general elections were opened up in the late 80s, it was definitely the Republic of China.
The Democratic Progressive Party led coalition would change the name on the passport the government issues when it is in power. It would revert back when the Koumingtang led coalition comes back into power. It falls in line with what the constituents want, and it isn't as if opinions of the citizens are uniform or a clear majority.
The situation is fairly complex.
Since this is intended as a historical map going beyond the Bronze Age, there weren't always a thing called a constitution or international law. So while this does apply to whether we call this polity, "Taiwan, ROC" or "ROC" or "Taiwan", whether something is constitutional or not will not always apply historically.
"inconsistencies" that's a friendly way to put it. The data is severely lacking for the world before the bronze age collapse. Upside: it can only get better over time.
Is there a process to provide feedback and correct errors on the map?
