Hello, I'm SHB2000, a nature-lover who's passionate about travel and nature photography. My home wiki is the English Wikivoyage where I am an administrator and bureaucrat, but I consider Commons as my second home wiki. I mainly crop banners for Wikivoyage, move and categorize files, and enjoy voting in COM:FPC. Though not something I enjoy, I consider cleaning up copyright violations and dealing with freedom of panorama cases essential.

Sometimes, I may randomly check RC and random filters and tags on the hunt for vandals. It sometimes surprises me that vandalism on Commons can go undetected for weeks, if not months or years.

A list of my Wikivoyage page banners can be found at Category:Wikivoyage banners by SHB2000 although a selection of my favorites can be found below under #Favorite banners.

I am a filemover, patroller and a rollbacker on Commons in addition to being an administrator on the English Wikibooks.

Random travel trivia[edit]

This list is partially copied from voy:User:SHB2000#My records; if I've written "approx", I visited that place when I was ignorant of coordinates.

Travel records
Record Place Approximate coordinates
Northernmost Tromsø, Troms og Finnmark 69.685, 18.920 (approx.)
Southernmost Lumsden, Southland -45.7377, 168.4417
Easternmost Auckland, Auckland Region -36.855, 174.81 (approx.)
Westernmost Point Reyes Lighthouse, Point Reyes National Seashore, California 37.9953, -123.0234
Highest point Tioga Pass, Yosemite National Park, California or Westland Tai Poutini National Park, West Coast (>3000 metres) -
Lowest point (excluding undersea tunnels) Badwater Basin, Death Valley National Park, California (–87 metres) 36.23, -116.789

I had to do some specific measuring for the westernmost, because Vancouver, British Columbia, is east of Point Reyes.

Favorite banners[edit]

Here's just some of my favorite banners that I've cropped. This does not include banners I didn't crop. Banners here are categorized based on letter based on the page name on Wikivoyage in English. French Wikivoyage banners will be categorized based on the English translation. Additionally, the Icelandic letter Þ will be treated as a letter T.

Static maps[edit]

See a full list of all my static maps (png or svg) on Category:Maps by SHB2000, with those specific to Wikivoyage at Category:Wikivoyage maps by SHB2000. Simple minor adjustments aren't included in that category.

Quality maps[edit]

All of these are quality images on Wikimedia Commons.

  • Possibly the most detailed map I've ever made, created to supersede the rather abysmal static map that was used on voy:en:Leeds.

  • One for voy:Tasmania. I've been desiring to create this for months; this also turned out nicely.

  • After two days of tracing, could the map for SE Queensland be the best I've made so far? (funnily enough, it was also used on https://www.railpage.com.au/news/s/untangling-south-east-queensland-s-public-transport)

  • Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia didn't need a static map, but because the dynamic map had few distinctive features, I created this. I think the quality of this matches by map for South East Queensland.

  • My first time drawing a South African map – I must say, the map for KwaZulu-Natal turned out much better than I thought, even though I only spent 5 hours on it.

  • Map of Finnish Lapland – this took me a week, but that was due to juggling with other real-life commitments at the same time (plus, tracing the lakes was literal pain).
