Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. I see that you have made a number of edits to the Swedish Counties. I welcome type of maps you have added, as they indeed provide more detail for the counties. However the comments regarding copyright for the submitted images and the edits raises some concern.
You have stated for the submitted images that permission have been acquired to publish them on Wikipedia, and at same time referring to contingent copyright and that they may be subject to withdrawal. This is not compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License under which all content on Wikipedia is published. By uploading images or otherwise submitting information, you as the editor certify that the submitted material is not protected by copyright or any other restrictions, and by submission any future claims to copyright or attempts to withdraw already submitted material are essentially void.
Either the statements relating to copyright are wrong and should to be corrected, otherwise permission to publish them under GFDL has in fact not been acquired and steps to minimize damages should be taken as soon as possible, including deletion of the uploaded images.
Secondly, placement of the news maps is less well chosen and has been done with out regard for the existing template. Templates are used in order to give Wikipedia articles in a particular series a uniform layout and common form, often devised under a Wikiproject. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Swedish counties deals with this and you are most welcome to join and help develop the county articles.
Until the copyright issue has been resolved and a better placement of (these or) new maps can be made I will revert the changes. Best regards! -- Mic 18:56, Jan 29, 2004 (UTC)
