Your changes on File:Germanic dialects ca. AD 1.png

Hello. I have reverted your changes again since they're unsourced and/or original research (with changes not found in the image given as source). With exception for the southernmost part of it (Småländska Höglandet) the interior of the southern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula was not "uninhabitable or extremly sparsely populated during the time portrayed due to the presence of heavy forestation, moors/swamps and/or mountain ranges", but a densely populated area (en:Västergötland, en:Östergötland, etc, with rich farmland that was the core area of the lands of the en:Geats, had been so for thousands of years by then, and still is. So do not change it again... Thomas.W ^talk 17:55, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Please do not revert that image and delete sourced material. If you have valid source material (not your opinion) considering the inhabitation of Southern Sweden, then please provide this. Perhaps the map can be improved further. Thank you! AKAKIOS (talk) 20:01, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

That's not how it works, it's up to you to prove that your changes are correct, which you haven't done (in fact you haven't proven any of your changes), not up to me to prove you wrong. And the links I provided above clearly show that your claims about the entire interior of Southern Scandinavia being "uninhabitable or extremely sparsely populated" around 0AD are totally wrong, and bordering on being utterly ignorant. Don't edit things you know nothing about. Thomas.W ^talk 21:00, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

I have based that map on valid sources. That's why I'm asking you (kindly, as opposed to your tone towards me) to provide counter sources. I repeat the request and politely remind you that your own personal opinion does not count as valid source material. AKAKIOS (talk) 20:28, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Germanic dialects

What does the black line in this image represent? I do not see any part of the key/legend mentioned or shown that says what this line is.
