<div>Even though John Snyder originally thought that Winkel was refering to the Equal-area Mollweide (1977) and later realizing that is was a Equidistant variation (1993) that Winkel was talking about, John's formulas are still a valid map projection. I believe that the earlier proposed 'Winkel II (Snyder)' would be OK, or even Winkel II (Snyder's Variation). But, Map projection naming conventions usually end up with the Originator's name first, a hyphen, then the Modifier's name second (as in 'Winkel-Snyder projection'). This sometimes results in confusion as to what the Originator's projection was, but then a future version of John Snyder will have something to write about.<br>
