message: Where is such a map located and where/how can I participate in such a map.  I'd like to add the often missing group of the Chameria-Albanians living between Albania and Greece. Thank you. --SvenAERTS (talk) 22:18, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Collaborative map for Europe of the Peoples ? 

message: It has been proposed to merge the entry on Participatory GIS with collaborative mapping. Please note that as intended PGIS is a practice, of which Participatory Mapping (better than Collaborative Mapping) is a step/ingredient. The term PGIS is widely and increasingly used among development practitioners and researchers to define a practice which is not necessarily linked to web based mapping. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iapad (talk • contribs) 13:38, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: * agree with above.  VGI is a separate, well established concept and term within professional and academic geography/GIS circles.  It should *not* be merged with "collaborative mapping" as many contributers to VGI platforms may not even be conscious, or give much importance to, the geographic context of their contribution.  A good example of this is contributors to Ushahidi, a VGI based on SMS, who may not have awareness, or even care about the geographic significance of their contributions.

replies: text: * I agree as well that they should not be merged. Mapping is one thing you might want to do with VGI, but there are others (graphs and other visualizations, statistical analyses). Also, along the lines of the last comment, collaboration may ultimately be arranged in some uses of VGI but may not particularly be the intent of contributors satchinsb (21:53, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Participatory GIS

message: This article initially did not properly define collaborative mapping and needed a rewrite which I provided.  I added an excellent example of collaborative mapping: MapWith.Us, this was NOT for promotion. Someone keeps taking references to MapWith.Us out of this article. Having developed and worked with mapping tools for over a decade, I can vouch that this is not random promotion, it's an excellent example of collaborative mapping. Please leave the reference to MapWith.Us in this article, it adds value.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.210.40.100 (talk) 17:15, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's because your edits have been almost entirely about promoting MapWith.us in what appears to be a concerted attempt along with several other accounts to increase the company's exposure on Wikipedia.  This is not in keeping with our neutral point of view or policy our policy against advertising.  Especially as MapWith.us is not yet a significant player in this market place it is inappropriate to sprinkle it through articles in this way.  I've removed it again.  Please stop trying to fit into every article you edit.  -- SiobhanHansa 18:01, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I've laid out the actions I see as a concerted effort to promote MapWith.Us at WT:WPSPAM#MapWith.Us and asked for other opinions. It's not my intention to be rude to you and I'm sorry that I came across that way.  I'm simply trying to uphold some of our policies on content. -- SiobhanHansa 21:30, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Volunteered Geographic Information seems to be a neologism that means the same thing as this. I agree they should be merged. --TMC1221 (talk) 13:30, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with VGI 

message: I quite agree that we've got too many articles for almost the same thing, but perhaps at least one should mention . Jim.henderson (talk) 12:14, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
