	Date/Time	Dimensions	User	Comment
current	21:54, 22 December 2020	959 × 593 (57 KB)	Jamesy0627144	edit title, remove word "territories" from comments
	01:27, 2 December 2020	959 × 593 (57 KB)	Kaldari	based on new version of File:Blank USA, w territories.svg by Heitordp
	00:23, 23 May 2020	959 × 593 (28 KB)	Kaldari	Reverted to version as of 27 May 2019. Newer versions were substantially different and should be uploaded as a separate file per Commons:Overwriting existing files
	21:37, 1 May 2020	958 × 602 (200 KB)	Jamesy0627144	moved Alaska and separator lines slightly (incorporated most recent change to File:Blank USA, w territories.svg)
	01:23, 25 April 2020	958 × 602 (200 KB)	Jamesy0627144	Fixed some flaws such as the non-overlapping borders that caused a double-line display when a stroke color was assigned. Other aspects of the map were also improved. Credit to Heitordp for originally uploading at File:Blank USA, w territories.svg; only change I made was to remove territories.
	19:09, 27 May 2019	959 × 593 (28 KB)	Jamesy0627144	add opacity property for DC circle, to allow to be hidden
	18:44, 27 May 2019	959 × 593 (27 KB)	Jamesy0627144	remove unused / duplicative "outlines" id
	03:15, 25 April 2019	959 × 593 (27 KB)	Jamesy0627144	Removed the stroke and stroke-width properties that I added earlier. These do not really work well for this file since border centerlines are offset from each other instead of directly overlapping. Would be better if they were overlapping as is the case with File:BlankMap-World.svg but would require some expertise to fix.
	20:14, 27 March 2019	959 × 593 (28 KB)	Jamesy0627144	Added stroke and stroke-width attributes for .state class. Not necessary to include these but doing so will be helpful for editors not familiar with SVG who may wish to tweak these settings. Also added title tags for each state so name pops up when hover with mouse.
	02:24, 5 March 2019	959 × 593 (26 KB)	Jamesy0627144	Added instructions to CSS block so people who don't know SVG (most people) will have an easier time figuring out how to color the map.
