Talk:Waldseemüller map

message: If you want to use "ü" instead of "u" in a Waldseemüller, then use these keyboard stroke / keys :  
Press "W", "a", "l", "d", "s", "e", "e", "m". Then press ...
Alt + 0252 (it means, first press the "Alt" (Alternative/Alternate) key in your keyboard, and keep it pressing with your left hand, then press the digits 0 2 5 2 one by one, in the right-side numeric keypad).
Press "l", "l", "e", "r".
Then you will get Waldseemüller. To make it a linkable name (to goto this article,) use two third brackets at the beginning and end of the name, like this Waldseemüller map, then you will get linkable Waldseemüller map.

As this is an English Wikipedia, I think the full title of map, "Universalis cosmographia secundum Ptholomaei traditionem et Americi Vespucii aliorumque lustrationes" should be translated and added after this in ().--Revth (talk) 02:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I reverted this contribution from Kattigara:
There is important information in this edit, but it cannot be presented this way. As written, it is rhetorical and not a neutral presentation of primary sources. Nunn's views should be presented in an encyclopædic way, without editorializing.

message: I am reverting recent edits noting continental labels for two reasons. First, the context of the paragraphs they were inserted into does not encompass toponyms other than "America". Readers and scholars would consider the information to be a dilution. Second, it is misleading to characterize the entire northern landmass as labeled with terra incognita when presumably the labels refer only to the western regions of the northern continent. Thirdly, Parias probably only refers to what is now Central America, not the entire northern continent (though Waldseemüller's intent is not clear, and in any case any such controversy seems unimportant to the point of the paragraphs as well as the article).

thread_title: On Continental Labels

message: The map is described in the lead as drawn using 'Ptolemy's second projection' . . what is this?  Or is there a misunderstanding here? - a mistranslation of the titling at the bottom of the map, "UNIVERSALIS COSMOGRAPHIA SECUNDUM PTHOLOMAEI TRADITIONEM .."?  The force of the words is something like "comprehensive cosmography using the technique of Ptolemy" - the "secundum" means "using" or  "following / according to".  
It's not a reference to any "second" projection technique, or doctrine / tradition.  
And I've not been able to find any mention of a "second" Ptolemaic projection in the articles on Ptolemy, his Geography (or Geographia) or the History of Cartography.  (The link to an article on Ancient Greek Geography redirects to a List of Graeco-Roman Geographers).  
I did find a description of Ptolemy revising his figures .. is that what's meant? - but it doesn't involve any change of projection-system.  That first article, on Ptolemy himself, describes Ptolemy as using Eratosthenes' figure of 700 stadia (for a Great-Circle degree) when writing his Syntaxis, but then switching to his own newly-calculated figure of 500 stadia for his later Geographia.  (There's a discussion of sources of error, and particularly of a miscalculation by a factor of 5/6 due to refraction at the horizon, in the History of Geodesy article.)

replies: text: A portrayal of Ptolemy’s second projection can be seen here. It appears on many 16th century maps such as this one. Snyder describes it in Flattening the Earth: 2000 Years of Map Projections. To be clear, the Waldseemüller map is an adaptation of the Ptolemy II projection, extended to show more of the globe.

thread_title:  Drafted on a modification of 'Ptolemy's second projection'?? 

message: There is a little bit to much bias towards the fact that the map is the is the first mention of America for what will eventually become the Americas. THe map is of global interest.  It is possible that a small article could be created with the unneeded content.  203.109.161.2 (talk) 05:42, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
