::::That's, uh, what the png map is for. Most of us are too lazy to want to implement some kind of adjustable shading actually ''inside'' the online map. There's little benefit to be honest. If anything, I personally think that this method (without shading) is better.

::{{u|Pbfreespace3}} where do you take all this information "Towns with 50 houses and towns with 5 houses were both marked as the same size" ??.Wikimapia??How can you adjust the sieze of a dot based on that where there is a war going on where houses and villages are being destroyed and rebuild in the same way everyday.It's absurd!!! Also adjusting the sieze of the dots based on population and geographical size it's more absurd we dont have any informations on these towns and villages beacause the hole country its a warzone and most of villages where the front line is have only faction fighters in it not civilians example Ghab Plain,Eastren Homs etc,demographics in syria changes everyday:4 mil refugees,people die every second etc.And I noticed that you made a controversial edit maybe by mistake [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Syrian_Civil_War_detailed_map&diff=677233186&oldid=677053212 Here] the pro-regime source is talking about lifting the siege in [http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=35.347266&lon=40.120139&z=15&m=b&permpoly=20852254&show=/20793142/Al-Jurah Al-Jurah district in Deirezzor] not the village and capturing some farms in Al-Mari'iyah not the whole village.My advice is that you if you want to edit than dont rush immediately to edit first of all read carefully the source what is it saying because it changes all what it is writen on that source and doesn't show the real fact and the map is less credible and doubt the wiki editor if it is pro-side one.

:With your rethoric all towns should be the same size... The point of different village sizes is to show how big a village actually is this doesn't have to be based on amount of villagers but by the actual size of the village you can simply look it up on wikimapia.org or google maps. Houses in small villages don't get destroyed/rebuilt that quickly unlike houses in bigger cities. Smaller villages consisting of 10 buildings should get a matching dot size, for example it would be a shame if you set the size of Quneitra the same as the size of Damascus.
