== Ultimatum ==
 
The [[Necrotech Assassins]] are a large presence in Crowbank. As you appear to be the areas central survivor authority, the NTA has opened communications with you to discuss the future of the suburb. It feels a shame that having just been retaken, it should be plunged in to a war that could compromise its delicate state. Therefore, I have for you an ultimatum. We feel that it is unfair that your group has been shunned from Malton after all it has done, and so we are willing to offer you an alliance. As the recent Malton Uprising declared war on you under the premise that you allow three alts per your organization, I would allow some of your members to enter the NTA, and continue their regular actions as members of the DEM. This would allow you to appear to have changed, yet also continue as you are. It would also mean that you would be lent support from our agents, who would also cease their current murders on members of your groups. As my men are covert, you shall not discover who is actually working for me. The only way to cease the attacks will be to form an alliance. I also wish for a full support accord to be agreed, that we can work together in any large-scale battles in the future. These are my terms. If you do not [[User_talk:Yonnua_Koponen/Alex_koponen| Respond and accept the alliance]] before new years day, 3 days from now, then I shall reveal the full extent of my force, and declare war on the DEM. The hidden NTA agents, and those who have yet to begin PKing, will all be given the DEM as a focus, and will be sent en masse to eliminate all life in the Crowbank area. This will remain as a constant until you surrender, and submit unconditionally. However, if you do choose to form an alleigance, we shall work on the conditions fairly. I wait for your response. --[[User:Yonnua Koponen/Alex koponen|Necrotech Officer of Defense, Alexander Koponen]] 16:44, 28 December 2008 (BST)
 
== Attacks on Bigger Mortice members. ==
 
Just to point out that our only enemies are [[Dragonhead]]. We are not pkers as such. We kill members of [[Dragonhead]] because of their crimes against us, and their crimes against the Zog of Marrinium.
 
'''All other players and groups are safe.''' We deem it a great shame that [[Dragonhead]] seem unable to fight their own battles. Signed: [[Bigger Mortice]].--[[User:Zombiek|Zombiek]] 22:07, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

== What's with the anti-DEM sentiment? ==
 
I am a bystander. I have never been in a group, but I have seen the DEM around. Now, I am seeing a lot of really violent and enthusiastic anti-DEM sentiment around, and I don't really understand, so I will ask you. Why do people hate you so? {{unsigned|Orionriver|18:47, September 11, 2008}}
:Various reasons. Some people don't like how some of our groups operate, some people don't like our policies, some people don't like our tools, some people think we're arrogant, and some people have simply heard a lot of crap about us that isn't true.--[[User:William Told|William Told]] 04:35, 12 September 2008 (BST)
 
::Don't forget the respraying of barricade info with recruitment spam and insults! Oh, and this of course: "Some people don't like how some of our groups operate, some people don't like our policies, some people don't like our tools, some people think we're arrogant" --[[User:ScouterTX|ScouterTX]] 22:59, 12 September 2008 (BST)
:::Our folks are lectured never to spray over useful tags or other groups' messages, and it's been my experience that most don't do so.  Usually when someone finds their tags have been sprayed over with a DEM recruitment message, the useful tag had been replaced by something inane (''P00tie wuz heer, l0lz0rz'') before our team tagged it. -- {{User:Atticus Rex/Sig}} 00:04, 13 September 2008 (BST)
::::I'd like to point out that there is no way for any DEM member to prove that the Revive/Entry point was sprayed before they sprayed it.--[[User:Janine|Janine]] 14:11, 13 September 2008 (BST)
:::::Agreed.  Just as there is also no way for our accusers to prove any DEM member maliciously sprayed over a useful tag.  So it's a push.  Except lately, nothing's a push, is it? -- {{User:Atticus Rex/Sig}} 17:55, 13 September 2008 (BST)
::::::But when you a wall with "Bill was here" sprayed on it. You automatically suspect Bill, not John. And the DEM works in assigned areas where they should '''know''' where the vital entry and revive points are. So shouldn't any DEM member who comes across such blind spraying, quickly spray it over with the correct message? It is common sense after all.--[[User:Janine|Janine]] 18:10, 13 September 2008 (BST)
:::::::Lots of assumptions in the mix there: that all DEM work in assigned areas (they don't), that all DEM would intuitively know what the "correct" message would be -- that there ''is'' a "correct" message in anything but a completely subjective sense -- and even that all DEM have common sense.  If you're speaking of a specific suburb or a specific DEM crew or a specific building or instance, by all means give us some details and we'll be happy to take it up with the DEMs in that area who may or may not be responsible. -- {{User:Atticus Rex/Sig}} 19:04, 13 September 2008 (BST)
::::::::So you're saying that the '''ENTIRE''' DEM is controlled by the same command structure and that the DEM doesn't work in the suburbs it claims to be working in?--[[User:Janine|Janine]] 02:43, 15 September 2008 (BST)
:::::::::Uh, no, I'm afraid I don't see where you're getting that at all.  But it doesn't cost me anything but a little of my time to take your grievance to the appropriate command person, once I figure out what suburb/building you're talking about.  I'm not in business to piss off pro-survivors, so if our people are doing something they shouldn't be, and thereby making people mad at "the DEM," I have an interest in helping to stop it. -- {{User:Atticus Rex/Sig}} 06:09, 15 September 2008 (BST)
:I hope that answers your question. ;) {{unsigned|William Told|12:15, September 14, 2008}}
::@ Orianriver: William Told's answer up top pretty much covers it. Any further comments in this thread are pretty much just an expansion of his last point. --[[User:Jen|Jen]] 21:44, 14 September 2008 (BST)
 
One reason may be the Uniform Barricading Policy,the policy that has killed thousands of survivors and wasted numerous AP,plus the policy was anti-newbie,which has contributed to the '''HUGE''' amount people leaving the game and new players rejecting the game since they can't find a place to rest without being killed.And this is only part of the many reasons people hate the DEM.They also support the use of bots.(which they have admitted to.) No wonder anti-DEM sentiment exists.--[[User:Gamestriker4|Gamestriker4]] 23:37, 24 October 2008 (BST)
:Go have a look at the literally hundreds of players that use the UBP and advocate for it.  The UBP is designed to allow new players entry into resource buildings.  However it is clear you have no idea what the UBP is who supports it or how it's used so I guess I'll just let you go about your daily dose of the wiki.--[[User:Kristi of the Dead|Kristi of the Dead]] 08:22, 25 October 2008 (BST)
 
I've read the page plenty of times Kristi.I didn't ask you if people support the UBP.Just cause hundred of people support something doesn't mean I should.Oh and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91a8pHj7V9k here] is evidence of the DEM's corruption.--[[User:Gamestriker4|Gamestriker4]] 21:58, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
::Clearly you have no idea what you've read if you read it hundreds of times.  Perhaps you should read it 200.  The whole point of the UBP is to make sure new survivors can find a place to rest a night.  Otherwise every group in the game that claims this police department or that one would barricade it to EHB (Ex. Heavily Barricaded in case you didn't know).  Even more simply your expertise in the game isn't such that you are able to decide why '''HUGE''' amounts of players are leaving the game.  Further you fail at rickroll.--[[User:Kristi of the Dead|Kristi of the Dead]] 22:56, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

:Okay then, why don't you toddle off and report her to [[A/VB]], see how far that gets you?  (''Hint:'' nowhere.  This isn't a community page.) -- {{User:Atticus Rex/Sig}} 02:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 
Kristi,if the UBP is designed to let noobs in,'''THEN WHAT THE HELL IS WITH ALL THE EHB BUILDINGS?'''--[[User:Gamestriker4|Gamestriker4]] 12:13, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
:While it's nice to have VSB resource buildings for new players to enter as well as entry points for freerunning access not every building in the game can be VSB.  And aside from that if you look more closely at the UBP(as you claim to have done) you will see that it is intended as a default for suburbs that don't have a customized barricade policy posted for their own suburb.  So I'll say it again more clearly because it seems you are new and don't understand the wiki or something.  The UBP is only used in suburbs where there isn't a posted customized barricade plane already.  More simply:  Don't like the UBP? Get together with local groups in all 100 suburbs and come up with an updated barricade plan for every suburb.  In other words quit complaining about the UBP and actually put some effort into the survivor cause and help design barricade plans so we don't have to use the UBP.--[[User:Kristi of the Dead|Kristi of the Dead]] 12:38, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 
Krisit,I've been here for almost 3 years,I am a loyal survivor and I've put more than enough effort into the survivor cause and what's a barricade plane?--[[User:Gamestriker4|Gamestriker4]] 01:07, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
::a typo.  BTW what's a Krisit?  If you've been here for 3 years and put more than enough effort in the cause then you need to STFU about the UBP.  Simply put quit crying about barricade policies and come up with some of your own.  I mean it's obvious your effort stops at blabbing your own opinion I mean 3 years and you don't know what vandalism is on the wiki?  So once again either make your own barricade plans for suburbs you feel are too tightly barricaded and get others to follow it or shut the fuck up.--[[User:Kristi of the Dead|Kristi of the Dead]] 03:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

== The Last Stand ==
Hello i am a member of the group The Last Stand, where a small group that has been in the game for little over 3 years, and i would like to ask you if you would be willing to allow us to ally our selves with you, i have just learned about the evil intent of the DA and the MU, and have been working with Lemonhead and the PDA for about a year or 2 in the attempt to protect our burb from the zombie infestation, again i would like to ask to form an alliance with your group, thank you for your time and please consider us
[[User:Xig2|Xig2]]
 
== Just an idea ==
 
No idea where else to post this idea, but here it is. The DEM has most of the major needs of Malton covered. Except for one. Engineers. There is no group in all of Malton that comes into a suburb, builds barricades, sets up and maintains generators and radio transmitters and reports the status of their suburb. A corps of engineers paired with a military operation could more quickly bring a suburb from dark and ruined to barricaded and lit. The problem is that it lacks to glamour of shooting or revivifying zombies of curing the sick and wounded. That's also the reason why the MCI is the least popular group in the DEM. So, i think it's a good idea, but it probably wouldn't take off. {{unsigned|Stilwell|16:55, September 27, 2008}}
:No. Garbage disposal is more important than engineers. --[[User:Saromu|Sonny Corleone]] <sup>[[DORIS]] [[MSD]]  [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91a8pHj7V9k pr0n]</sup> 01:02, 28 September 2008 (BST)
:That's kind of the MFD's purview, perhaps minus the transmitters.  The idea has been floated around the DEM before, especially right after the ruin updates.  Major stumbling block, besides the fact that it lessens perceived MFD responsibility, was the utter lack of XP available to folks who do nothing but repair, cade, and power, IIRC.  But an independent (''i.e.'', not DEM) group of engineers could be a fun RP thing. -- {{User:Atticus Rex/Sig}} 02:04, 28 September 2008 (BST)
 
== Over 450? ==
At a  stat page count a while ago, you had little over 300 members:
Malton Police Department 90
Malton Fire Department 60
Malton Civil Defense Unit 47
Malton Forensics Unit 42
Malton Emergency Medical Service 30
Malton Marshals 19
Axes High 21
A more up to date one puts you at under 300, so unless a third of you are not wearing tags, you should edit that 'over 450 members' out, along with the 'gaining members every day' as according to those counts, you're losing members.
Just saying. --[[User:Aldaris|Aldaris]] 09:53, 3 October 2008 (BST)

Hello, I'm [[User:Soldier|Soldier UDW]] leader of the [[Special Zombie Extermination Squad]]. I appreciate the size and strength of the DEM, I wish my group is strong as yours. What I'm here for is because the zombies are beginning to overrun the survivors and me and my entire group is going to take part of the Malton Uprising. If you have any updates or word around the city, tell me about it. I will provide some use.
 
-- [[User:Soldier|Soldier]] 01:44, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
:you're joining the malton uprising?  That's not really something the DEM supports :).  And I thought it had desolved...  In any event feel free to stop by our forums over on brainstock and we'll get you hooked up with ally forum access.  Then perhaps we could work more closely together.--[[User:Kristi of the Dead|Kristi of the Dead]] 13:23, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

== District Map for the NE ==
 
Hi there.  Regarding [[:Image:DES-NE.jpg|this image]] which is a map of the NE District.  According to the image description it is used by the DEM, MFD, and MPD.  The image is used on a handful of pages (11 to be precise), such as [[Nurton Walk Fire Station]].  I'm just wondering if your group still uses this map or if it serves any purpose to you.  If so, you'll notice that district 3 and district 5 look almost identical in color.  I could easily fix that for you with a photo editing program and upload a better version of the map that has more distinct districts, however if this is no longer in use then it's probably not worth the effort and it would be easier to remove the images all together, since they aren't pretty to look at.  You can respond either here or on my talk page, no hurry, I'll wait to hear back from you :) --{{User:Giles Sednik/sig}} 21:21, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
:Hello, no, we do not currently need that image and are not using it on any of our pages. Thanks for your offer to improve it, but as far as the DEM is concerned, I don't think it'd be worth it. Regards, [[User:G F J|G F J]] 16:59, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

I haven't seen any from your group since the RG moved away -- where have you all gone? :( {{User:Ashley Valentine/sig}} 14:43, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
:Hello Ashley, yes, we're still alive :-) If you haven't encountered us, it's probably coincidence or the PKer community has gotten worse at tracking us ;-) In any case, the RG has nothing to do with it. By the way, even if you didn't see us, we recently saw you - four days ago at the Yagoton / East Boundwood border. Regards, [[User:G F J|G F J]] 13:53, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

- DEM is still around, we've got a mobile team just finished operating in East Becktown with the East Becktown Defenders. Not as many of us as there used to be, but still a half dozen active plus about the same that fade in and out as the exigencies of life dictate. [[User:jmkemp|All Hail CLWG, MFU Chief]]

This page has an archive. The discussions are ordered chronologically, new ones should be placed at the bottom. Groups and individuals wishing to contact the DEM are encouraged to do so in the DEM Public Communication forum.

The Great Radio Group Massacre

Check-Mark-Reviewed.jpg Group Confirmed.
This frequency was confirmed active. Thank you for your reply.


I know this is a random request, but it's for all groups regardless of size.

-- Linkthewindow  Talk  22:57, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to tell you the same thing I told the last guys... Please contact us by forum in the future. It's a total fluke that I'm seeing this right now, I almost missed the notice about the cleanup on the main page. Yes, though, we are still here.--Labine50 MEMS | MHG 01:55, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Aww, I would have swung by the forums after a week or two. Or maybe I could have impersonated y'all instead, and saved you the trouble... ;) --Jen 03:19, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Lol. Anyway we can't use forums as it sets a double standard, and will thus mean that all groups will want to be contacted that way. Sorry :(. Linkthewindow  Talk  07:26, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Ultimatum

The Necrotech Assassins are a large presence in Crowbank. As you appear to be the areas central survivor authority, the NTA has opened communications with you to discuss the future of the suburb. It feels a shame that having just been retaken, it should be plunged in to a war that could compromise its delicate state. Therefore, I have for you an ultimatum. We feel that it is unfair that your group has been shunned from Malton after all it has done, and so we are willing to offer you an alliance. As the recent Malton Uprising declared war on you under the premise that you allow three alts per your organization, I would allow some of your members to enter the NTA, and continue their regular actions as members of the DEM. This would allow you to appear to have changed, yet also continue as you are. It would also mean that you would be lent support from our agents, who would also cease their current murders on members of your groups. As my men are covert, you shall not discover who is actually working for me. The only way to cease the attacks will be to form an alliance. I also wish for a full support accord to be agreed, that we can work together in any large-scale battles in the future. These are my terms. If you do not Respond and accept the alliance before new years day, 3 days from now, then I shall reveal the full extent of my force, and declare war on the DEM. The hidden NTA agents, and those who have yet to begin PKing, will all be given the DEM as a focus, and will be sent en masse to eliminate all life in the Crowbank area. This will remain as a constant until you surrender, and submit unconditionally. However, if you do choose to form an alleigance, we shall work on the conditions fairly. I wait for your response. --Necrotech Officer of Defense, Alexander Koponen 16:44, 28 December 2008 (BST)

The Great Suburb Group Massacre, 2009

Check-Mark-Reviewed.jpg Group Confirmed.
This group was confirmed active. Thank you for your reply.


Occasionally, general checks are done of group activity. This may seem like a stupid question, but it's for all groups, regardless of size. Linkthewindow  Talk  11:22, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, this is not actually a group, but an organizational construct of member groups and strategic partners, but: yes, we are active. - Stephen Krantz 17:50, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Good enough for me! Linkthewindow  Talk  22:46, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your help! - Stephen Krantz 11:32, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
I wonder what would have happened if you hadn't confirmed... Would it had mattered that we asked each DEM group and sub-group separately? I see redundancy in these queries, Linky! Mayhap we should stick to asking groups if they are active... less polytiks to consider.(The preceeding statement was made in jest) --YoHohoTalk 15:43, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Eh, sorry - was that a question? - Stephen Krantz 16:14, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
I was just wondering what would have been done if no one had confirmed that the DEM was active, just the groups within it.--YoHohoTalk 23:58, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Well, we can try next time, can't we? - Stephen Krantz 06:19, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Sure! It can be a game. Heads or tails: Do DEM groups have to put all of their tags onto the suburb pages or just some? =P --YoHohoTalk 15:51, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
I'd say that's up to the groups to decide. - Stephen Krantz 16:05, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Rhetorical question, Krantz. *pats* --YoHohoTalk 16:11, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Ah, I see. You did know I'm not the brightest, right? - Stephen Krantz 16:13, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
I wouldn't say that... lets just call you focused on the literal. --YoHohoTalk 17:48, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Hm. I see. *eats doughnut*- Stephen Krantz 18:03, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Website for DEM?

http://www.ud-malton.info/ seems to be taken by an domain grabber. Where do i get my revive queues from now? -- -Alka Selzer- [ Talk - Map - Stuff ]  19:08, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

It is back online, for now at least. Lomd 23:45, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
WHOIS information show a "Last Updated On" 22-Mar-2009 22:49:05 UTC and Expiration Date in March 2010, so i guess it's okay now. -- -Alka Selzer- [ Talk - Map - Stuff ]  07:07, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Building Information Center

Hello, I am here representing the Building Information Center. As one of the largest and most omnipresent organisations in the game, you would be able to maintain the reports for many buildings across the city. In essence, that is why I am here- to request that you, and your member groups help to update the BIC.--~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 22:05, 21 July 2009 (BST)

Ephraim Lancer

I don't know if this is the place to put this, but a player called Ephraim Lancer has been repetitively destroying the generator in Tompson Mall. His group listing suggests he is part of your group. Is this so, and if so, why are you allowing him to destroy the Generator? Sorakairi 22:59, 26 July 2009 (BST)

It EPIN UD. --Skouth 23:38, 6 August 2009 (BST)
Anyone with a DEM group tag isn't likely affiliated with this alliance - they go by their individual group tags: Malton Fire Department, Malton Police Department, whatever. Mr. Lancer seems to be masquerading or perhaps has started his own DEM, one with hookers, and blackjack. -- M arcusF ilby T 20:54, 7 August 2009 (BST)
That DEM sounds like it would be a muc more popular force. I know I'd join it. --Doctor Dark 05:15, 8 August 2009 (BST)

Recruitment Image

Hi there. This is to let you know the image on your recruitment advert is currently above the allowed limit of 56KiB. You might consider uploading a more compressed version for the purposes of the template. Please rectify the issue or your advert may be removed. Thanks. -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 15:01, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the notice. The image is now at 32KB, which should be small enough. G F J 10:51, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Recruitment

Concerning your group advert on the Category:Recruitment page, you may be interested to know that a vote is currently underway concerning the duration of time adverts can be reserved by a given timestamp. Your input is welcomed, and it should be known that if this vote passes you will need to update your adverts on a at least a monthly basis, not a two-monthly basis. Thanks. When I fall, I'll weep for happiness 00:43, 25 July 2010 (BST)

Thanks for the notice. I agree that the proposed change is an improvement. G F J 11:09, 25 July 2010 (BST)

Like to help out South Blythville?

SBR logo.png
Fixing what the Big Bash Broke.

The South Blythville Recovery Effort is a collaboration of individual survivors and groups working together to recover South Blythville to what it was before the Big Bash 3 come in and broke everything.

If you and/or your group are in the South Blythville area and would like to help, Please view this page, and/or contact Red Eyes-Dezonus-Red Eyes (talk)

Please forward this on, even if you don't wish to partake as we can use all the help we can get. {{SBRadd}} places this on your post ;)

Hey there, I've sent you this because you're a survivor group. Please help us if you can, we'd really appreciate it. If you can't help physically, you can always help by spreading the word ;) Red Eyes-Dezonus-Red Eyes (talk) 10:53, 16 September 2010 (BST)

Hello Dezonus, thanks for your initiative. We will try to get some members into the South Blythville area, although at this point I unfortunately cannot make any guarantees or present concrete data. Regards, G F J 11:54, 16 September 2010 (BST)
Thanks for your quick reply. I am doing my best, but being called a spammer by some =/ It's not easy when the Zeds are co-ordinated and survivors are not...Anyway enough of my whingeing, If you guys would like to put together a dispatch of your group, that would be great =D I wont add you to the list just yet, but let me know if you officially would like to help out Red Eyes-Dezonus-Red Eyes (talk) 09:46, 17 September 2010 (BST)

GSGM 10 No.2

Check-Mark-Reviewed.jpg Section Confirmed True.
The Section was confirmed to still be true. Thank you for your reply.

South Blythville - Section reads as follows:
"Officers of the Malton Fire Department, Malton Police Department, and Malton Forensics Unit assigned to DEM district SW-1 (North Blythville, Wykewood, South Blythville, Greentown and Lockettside) patrol this suburb frequently and assist with resolving emergencies."
Is this still true? Red Eyes-Dezonus-Red Eyes (talk) 06:48, 19 September 2010 (BST)

Partly ;-) It's still correct that there are DEM members patrolling the suburb from time to time, but we do not have a permanent presence and "frequently" would be an exaggeration. I can't provide you with a clear number of how often that patrolling takes place, however, simple because it strongly depends on the situation in other areas of Malton, the number of available members, and other factors of which some are hard to foresee. G F J 10:40, 19 September 2010 (BST)
I also came across the same thing written in Wykewood, would what you said also apply for Wykewood? Red Eyes-Dezonus-Red Eyes (talk) 14:35, 19 September 2010 (BST)
Yes, it should apply to Wykewood as well. What I would suggest is not completely removing the paragraph, but altering it a bit. Regards, G F J 16:34, 19 September 2010 (BST)
If you can write up something to replace it with, I'll replace both for you if you like? I can't exactly alter it myself as I don't really know your group too well... Red Eyes-Dezonus-Red Eyes (talk) 13:43, 20 September 2010 (BST)
Thanks for the offer. I've edited the two suburbs now, updating the paragraph. I hope this has improved it. G F J 13:44, 23 September 2010 (BST)
Thanks for the effort :) Red Eyes-Dezonus-Red Eyes (talk) 03:16, 3 October 2010 (BST)

District Map for the NE

Hi there. Regarding this image which is a map of the NE District. According to the image description it is used by the DEM, MFD, and MPD. The image is used on a handful of pages (11 to be precise), such as Nurton Walk Fire Station. I'm just wondering if your group still uses this map or if it serves any purpose to you. If so, you'll notice that district 3 and district 5 look almost identical in color. I could easily fix that for you with a photo editing program and upload a better version of the map that has more distinct districts, however if this is no longer in use then it's probably not worth the effort and it would be easier to remove the images all together, since they aren't pretty to look at. You can respond either here or on my talk page, no hurry, I'll wait to hear back from you :) --GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 21:21, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello, no, we do not currently need that image and are not using it on any of our pages. Thanks for your offer to improve it, but as far as the DEM is concerned, I don't think it'd be worth it. Regards, G F J 16:59, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
