Imaginary Map

I don't see what the point is of having an MSpaint-drawn imaginary map of an imaginary island. I've no idea where it came from, or what it's supposed to represent. If the author of the map wants to correct me and re-add it, that's fine, but please be more descriptive about what it's actually a map of.

Biases

I have slapped a tag on about this article's neutrality issues.

Firstly, it does not make clear that the Isle of Man has never been part of England.

Secondly, there is the more serious issue of historical continuity.

Literary Reference

When Rev W Awdry needed a location for his Railway Series of books, he thought of the Diocese of Sodor and Man, and invented the Island of Sodor between Man and the Mainland. This is presumably the Imaginary Map that is mentioned in the first section. Would a reference (correctly cited) be encyclopaedic or just trivial clutter. Would a map of Sodor (with context explicitly stated) be appropriate? OrewaTel (talk) 12:50, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
