== Postwar Japan proposed occupation zones map == 

 Hi Miborovsky, 

 I see that you are the creator of the map Image:Proposed postwar Japan occupation zones.png. Recently this map was used in the Occupied Japan article, but was removed twice by another user who first claimed it was misleading (not sure how a map of proposed zones that were abandoned could mislead anyone who read the article and caption....) and then removed it again claiming it was uncited in the text (I've seen several articles with maps where the maps haven't been cited directly in the text so I don't see why this article has to be so special) and that the image itself had no citations even though it is quite obvious that your image is very, very similar to another image that is based off plans in the American National Archives as it's author claims (:Image:Divide-and-rule_plan_of_Japan.png - in fact based on the description of that second image, your image represents the adjustment in some of the proposed zones). Since Nick apparently can't be bothered to investigate the images himself by talking to the image authors (even though he apparently needs citations in the text of Occupied Japan article explicitly stating that the USSR was to occupy the northern half of Honshu), I've taken the initiative to write to you myself with regards to your map.  

 So would it be possible for you to clarify the situation? I'm not sure if  (the author of the other map which your's seems to be based off) would also be able to add some clarity (should Haruno also be asked about this?).  

 Thanks for taking the time to read this, your map and Haruno's are interesting as it is very hard to find anything online about the occupation of Japan other than what the American Army and MacArthur did (even information about the British Commonwealth Occupation Force and it's zone  is relatively rare - and the BCOF zone was almost the same as the proposed British zones in both maps with Kyushu being replaced by Shikoku). Since you normally respond on other user's talk pages, perhaps you might prefer to respond in the discussion section of the Occupied Japan article?
