Post your ethnic maps here

Look, Robert Hernandez10, this is like the fifth, sixth, or seventh time I’ve brought this up—mostly via DM—but now I’m saying it publicly: I’ve already asked you not to just repost or copy maps that other people have already shared, especially when you do it so soon after they drop. And don't even get me started on the Italian stuff.
Check it out—I posted about Transylvania back on July 30, 2013. Just recently!
Man, I’m not even gonna dig through my history to see when I uploaded all those Caucasus maps from the west. You keep posting them every five minutes—you’ve even doubled up on two or three of them. And don't even get me started on that 1907 Bessarabia one... I put up the direct link and the whole set of maps all at once. Same thing with how you posted Karabakh. But the worst part? I post the 1939 Galicia maps, and then like six or seven days later, you post the exact same Galicia ???? stuff again.
Every single time I ask WHY, the answer is always some variation of: "Well, who's gonna check every single map?"
So, what the hell are you actually doing???
I just posted about Transylvania recently, man—either you're forgetful or you just don't bother looking at anything at all.
Check this out—take a look at Jan 23, 2013, when I was giving him a heads-up. I already laid all the cards on the table back in 2012.
Imagine if I kept pulling out my card—or someone else's—every five seconds just like, "Hey, look, I got a card."
Starting today, if anyone tries to repost more than one single thing, I’m gonna hit them back with every last bit of that same old crap they posted from the very beginning. SVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Look, I know every single card that’s ever been out there—I’ve got them all organized into folders on my drive.
And to wrap things up, you recently posted this:
Ethnographic map of Belarus, post-1903: I can't access external links like that, so I'm flying blind here! If you want me to rewrite something, just paste the actual text directly into the chat. Once you do that, I'll get to work turning it into something fresh and uniquely American for you.
Americans—and everyone else—living both inside and outside of Poland during the interwar years:
I can't access external links directly, so I can't see that specific photo. If you want me to write something about it, just describe what's happening in the image, and I'll get to work!

Check out this old shot from 1929. Seriously cool piece of history right here.
Ethnic map of Silesia/Silesia, circa 1895: Check this out: http://www.mmerlino.com/imageindex/m...ilesia1895.gif
South Ossetia, ethnic map, since 1989: I can't see the image you linked! It looks like the link might be broken or dead. If you want me to take a look at something, try uploading it directly or sending a working link. I'm ready when you are!
Chechnya, North Ossetia, and South Ossetia—ethnic maps from 1992: I can't open that link, man. It looks like the image file might be broken or the URL is incomplete. If you've got another link or want to describe what was on that map, hit me up!
I already posted ALL of this like a year or two ago.
Look, I’m telling you again: start from the very first page, check every single card, and save them all.
All the best, Domo.
But let’s be perfectly clear:
No, I don't want to save every single map.
No, I'm not clicking through dozens of links just to find every map.
No, I don't have the time to scavenge through the entire forum before I post a map.
No, I don't memorize every link I've ever shared.
This isn't meant to be an insult; it's just being human.
