File update[edit]

Dear, the german flag has incorrect colors. It should be (from top to bottom) Black red yellow.

For future reference, Kaiser-Wilhelmsland was administered by the German Empire. Not the present-day Federal Republic of Germany. --NFSreloaded (talk) 18:09, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File update[edit]

File:Map-Kaiser-Wilhelms-Land-und-Bismarck-Archipel.png

I've updated this file so the boundary between the German and British parts better matches the shape of the territories on the more professionally drawn map at File:Map-Kaiser-Wilhelms-Land-und-Bismarck-Archipel.png (see right). According to http://www.peter-hug.ch/lexikon/kaiserwilhelmsland and http://www.retrobibliothek.de/retrobib/seite.html?id=111838 the border, starting from the east coast, followed the 8th parallel to the 147th meridian, from where it continued in a north-westerly direction.
