The original author of [1] is “Theshibboleth” while the author of [2] is
"User:Scott5114” so it doesn’t look like that the authors were the same.
The file at [1] (if you look at the files history) has had several changes made
to it. Note that in the second top comment the entire map data was replaced
("Using User:Karlfk's updated map from here, with better defined state
borders”) by [3] , that map is licensed CC-SA. Which version of the file did
you use?
Thanks,
Justin
