Map Burgundian Kingdom 2 EN.png into SVG

Map Burgundian Kingdom

Article(s): es:Imperio romano de Occidente,es:Reinos de los burgundios,es:Reino de Borgoña,es:Reino de los francos en la época merovingia

Request: I would like to request a SVG version of the above map as I would like to translate it into Spanish and use it as a base for other maps that are also in PNG format and that could also be quickly turned into SVG once the basis is available. Thank you in advance.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 10:57, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Vectorize map of WWII Germany

PNG map of German-dominated Europe, 1941/42

Article(s): Large number of articles. The file is used on most Wikis.

Request

Perhaps a bit of challenge(?), but I thought I'd post it if someone out there feels like they might to give it a shot. The need for this image is present everywhere, but we're still using a pretty low-res PNG image, and I think we've refined the file's factual content to the point that its ready for an upgrade to SVG. If anyone's up for it, your file will be up on quite a lot of high-traffic articles, and I'm sure you'll have the gratitude of WWII-buff editors everywhere. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 23:00, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

P.s. There's no need imo to follow exactly the style of the PNG map, as in the fonts or the light blue used for sea areas. Recommend using File:Europe_1942.svg as a starting point. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 00:13, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

@DIREKTOR: Now there is a draft to look at and give me feedback. Anything goes, you are the one who knows what you want, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:54, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Seems great. The winter offensive area could be in stripes, I guess. And the Soviets and Western Allies could be in different colour schemes per the original image. The white outline of the text seems a bit over-contrasting with the black background in places. I don't think we need a frame... That's all I've got. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 09:49, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

@DIREKTOR: You wrote "There's no need imo to follow exactly the style of the PNG map" so I don't really understand some remarks, but I do as you like it to be (for the most).

What is the difference if the winter area is striped or solid colored?
The allied were one entity so why different colors?
To me the frame holds the map together and gives it a clear ending. If you not really bad wont it to be removed I would like to keep it. To me it's graphically better.
The white outline is for the texts that cross black lines, to dark background etc. I have made them softer.

New draft to look at and give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:41, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: (sorry, was absent for a while.)

No difference, really. I just like the striped style.
That's how the map was for the past several years. I don't think its a bad idea. In many ways the USSR and the Western Allies were separate combat entities.
I don't think we need a frame as it'll just be double-framed in any thumbnail and/or infobox.
Could you make the text white over darker areas? D'you think that's a good idea?

--DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 16:24, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

I will of course remove the frame.
About white text on the darker areas ..... I don't know. I'm not fond of it. I have to see so I will get back to you. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:02, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

@DIREKTOR: New draft to look at and give me feedback on. I did the text light, not white. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:20, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Is it possible to have the sea in white, country borders in white, neutral countries in grey (as in here), Axis in shades of blue (blue as in here), the Soviet Union in red, and Western-Allied regions in green? --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 12:44, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

@DIREKTOR: Look at this draft here. Why there are small dark areas on some borders I don't know because they are all white. At this render link you can see how it looks like when I test it on a rendering tool we have. This is doing exactly what any Wikimedia site will do. When you look at my drafts that is in another place which renders it differently. I haven't done the legend or text yet. I want you to see if I got it right and that is what you want, give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:45, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: . Yeah, I always open them in Inkscape, they're white to me as well and I think that's how they'll appear once uploaded. I can think of no nitpicks besides asking for a more subdued shade of green, perhaps slightly closer to the PNG image. The inland waters appear to be blue rather than white... Otherwise, very nice work indeed. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 23:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

P.s, could the striped area be red/blue, rather than red/white? With the stripes at an angle, rather than vertical? --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 00:08, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: P.p.s it would probably be useful to upload two versions: one with labels and legend, one like that, without both. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 09:53, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

@DIREKTOR: Look at this draft here.

You wrote: "subdued shade of green, perhaps" but I guess you meant, blue? Anyway I haven't changed them yet as I think it would be even harder for people with color problems to view it correct. It's already hard but would be even harder if the blue shades got any closer. If you still want this really really bad tell me.
If we are getting close to upload I will need the following for both versions;

Name of the file
Description
Category/ies at commons

to be able to upload them at commons. Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:55, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: That's it, its done I think :).

I meant green, the colour used for Western Allied-held territory (in this case UK-held, basically). Never mind that, though, we're good.
"World War II in Europe, 1942" and "World War II in Europe, 1942 (no labels)"
"Europe at the height of Axis success"?
The cats you can copy-paste from here.

Once its uploaded I'll global-replace the old PNG file with the new version.

I posted a request down below for a blank map of Europe at the outbreak of WWII, I think it can be helpful for a number of articles. If I'm not pushing too hard, I wonder if you could take a look? It oughtn't be a lot of effort? --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 19:18, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Now you can find them here;

World War II in Europe, 1942
World War II in Europe, 1942 (no labels)

Map of Brazil

Request: I'd like to have the first image in svg format, so that I can translate it easily for it.voy or other voy. The second map could be a good base, since it is already an svg --Nastoshka (talk) 19:13, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@Nastoshka: Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 12:00, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

@Nastoshka: I have started to work on your requested svg map and I need your input to be able to continue. What I'm thinking about is how to make the map as legible as possible and what you need the map to show for your purpose.

Is the coloring of the different areas (Bahia, etc) important or is naming them enough?
Do you want the roads in the map, about the same as the one you have now?
Do you want rivers, lakes in the map?
Should we try to keep as much text (names) as possible outside the map and in a "legend" on the article page?
Any other ideas and information you want to share with me. --Goran tek-en (talk) 08:40, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Hej @Goran tek-en: and thanks for taking care of my request. The answer to your questions are the following:

Yes, the colours are important and on wikivoyage we use standard ones. You can find them here. The colours are used in a template that works as a key for regions and colours (so on the contrary, naming is not so important). See an example on this page.
Roads and railways are optional. Usually we add them only if the result is clear and legible enough.
Yes please, lakes and rivers are important in a travel map. If it is possible add also their name with the standard font and colours that you can find on the same palette.
It is preferable that all the text in the [[:|current map]] is kept.

Tack så mycket en gång till :) --Nastoshka (talk) 22:25, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

@Nastoshka: Thanks for that info, it's really important for I started to use the other template we use for maps. So next time you request a travel map for wikivoyage it's very important that you mention what template to use and why. If that is not mentioned we have no way to no that and then we will spend hours in vain.

I looked at your profile and whoooooh, how can you know that many languages, I'm impressed. --Goran tek-en (talk) 12:14, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

@Nastoshka: I now looked at the template and there are two issues with the chosen fonts;

The words, Airport And Train Station uses Blue Highway which to this page svg fonts is not an approved font.
The rest of the text uses DejaVu Sans Condensed. I run Ubuntu 14.04 and that font has another name with me, DejaVu Sans Semi-Condensed. What that will mean when the file is rendered at Wikimedia I can't say for sure. I will try to keep the original name but it can give some problems regarding that I don't really know how the text will flow and spread out.
If you have anything to do with that template or you know who does, it would be good to inform them about this. I would go for a font which is not included in "extra packages" or special in any other way. --Goran tek-en (talk) 12:44, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

@Nastoshka: Now you have drafts to look at. I show you three different and you will have to tell me which you want or something else.
I have some names in a legend, and as you use colors for the different areas I have also excluded the names from the map. To me this makes the map more legible. But you are the user of the map so it's up to you for most.

all, haven't put in road numbers yet.
roads, haven't put in road numbers yet.
rivers. Get back to me with feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:00, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi @Goran tek-en: , you've crafted a very nice map. Thanks a lot! Perhaps the only thing missing is the label "Atlantic Ocean" for the ocean. Regarding the fonts used in the map, they were decided by en:voy long time ago, before I started to contribute to wikivoyage so I don't know much about them. However we're planning to review many maps and try to have some homogeneity among the different linguistic versions of wikivoyage. I'll talk about this problem with fonts. FYI I use Linux Mint and I have some problems with that font too. At moment you can use the ones you chose, since they are very similar to the standard fonts. Just one question: Could you add all texts (included "Northeast Brazil", the compass, and the key for kilometers) in a separate layer called "Labels"? When you'll have uploaded the map, I will need to modify it with Inkscape in order to create some sublayers to "Labels", one for the German translation, one for the Italian, one for the Swedish etc.. (Actually I'm a translator in real life and this is also one of my task on voys projects). Tell me if this is a problem. Thanks again! --Nastoshka (talk) 08:03, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

@Nastoshka:

Question You didn't tell me which version of the three alternatives you wanted?

Question Do you want me to add the road numbers if you want the roads in the map?

Comment When you redo the template please consider the other map templates that are used at Commons (and other places) and try to make the template so it also work for people with color blindness, it can be very hard sometimes. If I or any one else here at Commons can assist you with that just give us a notice.

As far as possible we try to upload svg files as plain-svg and not as an Inkscape-svg. Inkscape adds a lot of specific program information into the file which is not important, and all other vector programs do the same. A lot of people also edit svg files with text editor and then it's easier without all the program specific code.

In Inkscape when you use File/Save As or File/Save a Copy down in the right hand corner you choose how to save it. There is one choice, Plain SVG (*.svg). That one gives you as pure svg file you can get from the program, without editing the code manually. Before you save it it's always good to do File/Vaccum Defs which removes a lot of stuff which you are not using in the final version but have done during your work.

When you open a plain-svg file (you really don't know it is) you will find that it consists of different groups. Each layer in the original Inkscape file has become one group. So in my file, if you click on the legend you will get everything I had in that layer. The same with cities names, area names and so on. That makes it not so hard for you to do your work even when I upload it as plain-svg. I keep the original Inkscape file with me if any further work needs to be done but I always try to upload it as plain-svg. Sometimes I upload it as an Inkscape but that is very seldom and for a very good reason, extremely complex or other significant reason.

I don't know if you upload the different languages versions as separate files or as one and if you need the layer (Inkscape) information to make it work. Depending on that you should also upload them at Commons as plain-svg. I know that there is one way to work with different languages in one svg file. You add all and then you call on the language you need for a particular page, check here. The whole page is about translations in a svg-file. It just stroke me that you are a translator so probably you know much more then I about this. I'm sorry if I told you a lot you already know, that was not my purpose and if so, I'm sorry.

So get back to me on which version you want, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 10:16, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: , Thanks a lot for all info you gave me. Yes, I knew almost all but it was kind of you. I did not know, for instance, about File/vacuum def. I'll do it when I upload a file created with svg. If you want an idea of how we work with svg-translation on wikivoyage take a look to this map. It's still imperfect: the coast line are unclear and the ferry paths are missing but I and the other user who drew the map are not graphists. (perhaps another work for you? :-) )
Reg. the maps, sorry I didn't understand I had to choose. However, I like the first one "all" and yes, please add the roads name. Thanks again. --Nastoshka (talk) 21:36, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

@Nastoshka: Now you can find it here Northeast Brazil 2, just let me know if you want something changed.

I did have a quick look at Northern Götaland travel map.svg and directly some things came to my attention.

Why do you translate Skåne but not Götaland?
Why do you translate/change some ö to o in cities names but not in all?
Göteborg is translated but not most of the other cities, are there no translation or what?
The scale must be really wrong, 0,5 km?
In the svg file you have so much unnecessary information etc around the shown page which makes the file much heavier than it needs to be, and it gives opportunity for problem to no use.
There is probably more but I didn't look any further.
If you think I can help you further in any way just contact me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:25, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Blank SVG map of Europe, for March - September 1939

SVG blank map, valid for October 1938 - March 1939
Blank SVG map, valid for 1942

Article(s): A bunch. This is a basic map we can use for all sorts of purposes to highlight various countries in the period (as with other files in the series).

Request

Requesting a blank SVG map of Europe for the period between March and September 1939, namely - Europe at the outbreak of World War II.

I don't think this one should be difficult: we already have a blank SVG map for the period up to March 1939 (see above), the only thing that's required is to account for two territorial changes:

#1 the Nazi dismemberment of Czechosolvakia. In March 1939 Germany incorporated part of the country as the en:Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, while the rest split off as the en:Slovak Republic (1939–45). This situation is illustrated well in the second image provided above (which, however, generally depicts the state of affairs in 1942).
#2 the Nazi annexation of Memel. For that event see en:1939 German ultimatum to Lithuania and the accompanying map (Germany annexed a strip of Lithuanian territory following an ultimatum). This border, at the extreme north-east of Germany, is again well illustrated by File:Europe 1942.svg (as seen above).

So basically I'm asking for those elements (dismembered Czechoslovakia and the noth-eastern German border with Lithuania) from File:Europe 1942.svg to be incorporated into File:Blank map of Europe October 1938 - March 1939.svg. Thanks a lot, in advance. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 19:59, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 14:03, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

@DIREKTOR: I don't really understand what to remove and what to keep as I have no knowledge of this. I have added borders in black from the 1942 map into the other map here. For #1 the two maps has different borders, they don't match.

What I need you to do, if it's possible, is to make a dummy based on my link and show me what to keep and what to remove from the black borders. Also if I should remove any of the white borders, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:27, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: here it is, delete quickly I think? The differences are as follows: #1 Czechoslovakia broke in two, #2 Hungary took the "tail end" of Czechoslovakia, #3 Germany took the Memel area. Extend Germany's north-eastern-most border (the one with Lithuania) as shown in the second map, and depict the area of Czechoslovakia exactly as its depicted in the second map (with Hungary taking the tail tip).

Whatever further discrepancies there are are just imperfections in mapmaking - but when drawing the borders in dismembered Czechoslovakia, please prefer the borders from File:Europe 1942.svg, as they are definitely more detailed/accurate... damint except for Slovakia's northern border with Poland - there go with the border from File:Blank map of Europe October 1938 - March 1939.svg (Slovakia took some lands from Poland after Germany defeated it, that's why the above first map has the correct border).

Aside from Lithuania losing the Memel area, the Baltic states are all still there and with the same borders. Aside from taking the tip of Czechoslovakia's tail, Hungary stays the same (i.e. its southern and eastern borders do not change).

P.s. Pls don't forget to make the border of the en:Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia with Germany dotted, as the thing was a part of Germany; the maps from the above thread missed that tiny detail. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 04:16, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Its a bit more complex than it appeared at first glance, but please do ask if there's anything I've not been clear with. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 04:50, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

OK let's see if I have understood you. Now there is a draft here. Look at it and give me feedback, thanks.

I don't know why the preview looks like that with some darker lines but I have checked it at svg check commons and it looks fine there. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:03, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: That's it, Europe at the outbreak of WWII. Only one issue: the border now highlighted in red at the dummy should be full, not dotted (as it is at File:Europe 1942.svg). That's the actual, official border between the en:Slovak Republic (1939–45) and Nazi Germany. Everything else is great :).

P.s. The en:Slovak Republic (1939–45) really ought to be a separate object from Germany in the file, for ease of highlighting. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 21:31, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Look at this new draft so it's OK now. The reason why Slovak Republic was not a separate object was solved when you asked me to change that border to solid, thanks.

If this is OK I will need the following;

Eastern Front WWI map in SVG

WWI Eastern Front in 1914

Article(s): es:Ofensiva de Gorlice-Tarnów and others

Request

Hello, I wonder if it would be possible to create an SVG version of the map above. My goal is to create Spanish vesions of several related maps ([1], [2], [3] and [4] at least) for the WWI Eastern Front articles in the Spanish Wikipedia (I am preparing the one on Russia which should use them all or most of them at least). Once one of them is available in SVG, the rest should be relatively easy to create, making minor changes on the first one. Thank you.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 11:27, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

I'm considering to take this but first I want some more info from you. To me it seems very important that one first creates a base map with all the information you need except the battle information. What type of base map do you want, all rivers, all cities and so on as in the jpg image. Do you know any other map that looks something like what you want for base map. Please ping me if you replay to this as the watch doesn't work all the time, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:41, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: I would say all cities, rivers, mountain rages and railway lines should be included as they tend to be relevant to battle descriptions. Maybe some towns could be left out but it would take more time to find out which ones than simply include them all from the original map and then remove them in the derivative maps when not relevant. The base map is indeed the key as I think all other maps for the other periods of the war in this front can more or less be generated easily once that is available. Thank you.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 15:13, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, but could you link to a kind of map that are similar to what you want for base map. I don't want to spend a lot of time on a type of map you don't want. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:14, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: the goal is to get something like this that I made from the original raster maps. The same base map was used for others like this one and this one, just by changing the military units, front lines and the like.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 16:54, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Two things;

those map doesn't follow the map template we try to use but maybe it's different for battle maps.
Also if you have done those maps why don't you do this one also, then you know how to do it and you yourself know exactly what you want in it? --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:37, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

It may not follow the map template, I just made it to have a SVG version that I could easily change. I do not make the SVG versions myself basically due to not having time now, I hardly have enough time to write the main article itself where I intend to use the maps...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 05:04, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Time is a factor for us all. If I was to make this then I will use the map template that is used here. That will lead to the problem that it/they will stick out from the rest. So then you people who work with this have to decide if that is OK and in time edit the rest so they all look the same. The other way is to find someone who will do this in the same manner as the rest. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:54, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

What would that template be (to be able to tell if that would be ok as a basis for these maps or if it would take too much work later on)?--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 17:18, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

The template is this one and here are some examples where I have used it on other maps with battles;

Oh, so you mean the symbols used for towns, mountain ranges, rivers, etc would be different from the ones in the raster maps? That would be fine, provided the information in the maps (towns, rivers, railway lines...) is preserved. As the first map in SVG format would be the basis for the others (basically by adding the necessary front lines, military units, etc), in the end all the maps would look similar (all the generated SVG maps, that is, not the SVG maps and the raster maps).--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 04:25, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 12:35, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

@Rowanwindwhistler: The map is not very clear but I have found some others that help me. But still I need your help to find out which lines are roads and railroads, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:23, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Unless I am much mistaken, it seems all lines are reailway lines, no reads are included in this map. Thank you.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 20:35, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

@Rowanwindwhistler: Now there is a first draft of the Base map. You will have to check it thoroughly as the jpg images are very blurry, and specially the following;

Names of cities and there spelling, some are impossible to see so I guess.
There is so much info in the map that I have dimmed down some stuff. This is just the base and I guess the battle information is the most important.
I can just read one river name, if you want them in there you will have to help me with that.
I have found another map which is better for some areas and I have used that also. If you want that just tell me and I will share it. Remember this is just a DRAFT so no name is placed exactly, don't check on to small problems. Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:33, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: , it looks very nice indeed. No problem with the names of places and rivers, I can help out find the right spelling. Shall I correct them on the draft and upload it somewhere for you or should I rather make a list of the current spelling and the right one for you change? I can do either, no problem with that. Thank you!--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 06:20, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

@Rowanwindwhistler: Thanks, I would prefer a list with corrections for names that already are in the draft. For the rivers maybe you have to put them in the draft as it's hard to describe which is which, it's up to you. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:13, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: I have corrected the names of the German and Austrohungarian towns. Sometime today or tomorrow I will check the Russian ones too and add the names of the main rivers. In the end, as I will add the rivers anyway, I am also changing the names of the towns, but I am keeping a list of the changes so that you can easily check which ones I have modified. The modified draft should be ready tomorrow evening at the latest if I get the time to check the remaining names. I will let you know when I am done. Thanks.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 07:26, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: I think I got it after a few changes. The new draft including the checked names is here and the list of changes here. I hope I did not make many mistakes but I cannot rule them out, taking into account the amount of information. Thanks.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 21:14, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

@Rowanwindwhistler: Now I want you to look at this base map so we can agree on if it's ready or not. There is one city all the way up on the shore of Lithuania which doesn't have any name, can you give me that. Check this map and tell me if it's OK or not as base map before I start to add the battle info, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:47, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: the map looks ok to me, I think we can use it as a base as it is. The city you mention (sorry I overlooked it) is Memel. Thanks.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 04:48, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

@Rowanwindwhistler: So now there is a first draft with the battles for you to look at. And here are some questions that I need answers to;

In the legend I have put the stuff I think needs to be there. I want you to give me the texts for each number. If you think something doesn't need to be there just put that and I will remove it. But think like someone who has NO knowledge of this topic.
In the jpg there are two big blue "squares" First Masurian campaign and Galician Battles. Do you want those also in the map or will you provide that information in info/text for the map/article?
There is a number 28 and to parallel lines, what are they and do you want them also in the map?

Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:38, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: It looks great to me. On your questions:

For the legend, I suggest using: 1 & 2 "Central Powers' operations", 3 "Front September 1st", 4 "Front September 26th", 5 I would remove, 6 & 7 "Central Powers' armies", 8 "Central Powers' Corps", 9 "Central Powers' Army", 10 "Russian Army", 11 "Russian Army Group", 12 & 13 "Russian operations", 14 "Russian front (when different from general frontline)", 15 I would remove, 16 & 17 "Russian armies".

I think we can leave out those squares and add that data both in the Commons description and in the articles when necessary.

Do not include them in the SVG version, they seem to be merely the number of the map in some map series we do not care about here.

Thank you very much for all your efforst so far, the map looks fantastic.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 07:17, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

So now there is new draft for yo to look at. Check it and tell me what to change.

When we are done I will need the following;

Name of the file
Description
Category/ies at commons

to be able to upload it at commons.

If you want the map without the battles also uploaded I will need the same information for that. Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:05, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en:

I suggest calling it something like "MapOfWWIEasternFrontAutumn1914.svg"

"World War I's Eastern Front in the Autumn of 1914."

Same as the original map plus "SVG maps showing history in English"

I think it would be a good idea to have the basic map without the military units and moves too. I think:

it could be called "MapOfWWIEasternFrontArea.svg"
with a description like "Map of the WWI Eastern Front area with main towns, rivers and railway lines".
And the same categories as the other map.

Thank you!--Rowanwindwhistler ([[User talk:Rowanwindwhistler|

Unesco World Sites distribution

Article(s): many pages

Request: Please update this map. Currently the map shows an old distribution of World Heritage Sites; so for instance, India is brown while should be pink as it has 32 WHS. A plot with countries and number of WHS can be found here If possible I'd also ask to convert this map into svg. Svg is much easier to update (the list updates almost once a year) and is often used enlarged in the middle of a page. A good idea would be to upload the new file under the name "File:Total WHS (2014).svg" so that we can have more maps showing the differences in UNESCO sites distributions year after year. Thanks --Nastoshka (talk) 01:46, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): You could use this map as base. It's svg and from the cartographical point of view it's more correct. --Chumwa (talk) 08:26, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 17:29, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

@Nastoshka: In the png file there are eight levels. In your link (EN/WP) there are five levels. The colors in the png file doesn't match your link and the colors on that page are not all given a rgb or other value.

How many levels do you want, and if it's eight, you will have to provide me with correct information for that.
If you want the image to follow the colors in your link you will have to provide me with them, rgb or other standard value. I can't do anything before you provide me with this information, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:47, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Hi and thanks for your help! Both the number of levels and the colours are quite arbitrary. I think that 8 levels allow to better divide the countries in groups according to the number of UNESCO sites they have. That is just my opinion. The aim of this map is to show where concentrates more WHS and which country belongs to a certain group (for example, countries with less than 10 sites). So I'd leave colours and levels to you. --Nastoshka (talk) 18:22, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

@Nastoshka: I'm sorry but if you won't provide me with information for 8 steps I will have to do 5 steps as you give me information for that, I can't guess and as you say the old image is wrong so I can't use that. Therefore I will do the 5 steps. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:05, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Ok, proceed with 5 levels. I've never been dissatisfied with your works, so I'll trust you. As I said, levels and colours are just arbitrary. The most important things are extension (should be a vectorial map) and data (the ones you find on en.wp) --Nastoshka (talk) 17:08, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

@Nastoshka: Now there is a draft for you to look at (some lines appers to be thicker/black but that is just how the image is rendered at my server, it will not look like this in Wikimedia). Check all the different countries so they are correct. I have used the colors from en.wp as that makes most logic to me. I didn't put in the legend as it could be smart to have that in the info area so it easily can be translated. Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:47, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Good draft, but all nations who have at least one site should be coloured. I've found yesterday the official data from UNESCO official site. See the table "Number of World Heritage properties inscribed by each State Party" and the following one. Can you explain me better what do you mean with a "info area"? You mean in the parameter "description" of Commons? In this case I'd prefer to have it on the map. A possible legend could be something like a rectangle with this kind of keys: 10-14 as in the old map, so that there would be no need of translations. --Nastoshka (talk) 09:11, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

@Nastoshka: Now there is a new draft for you to look at. THe black thicker lines will not look like that when they are rendered at Wikimedias servers. I have now used the color schema of our convention [5]. I did look at the link to unesco but it was soooooo very long that I got tired just looking at it, text is not my thing. So I looked at the old map for the lower levels of sites. As you are the requester I live it in your good hands to check my draft and tell me what to change, hope that's OK with you. So get back to me with your feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:28, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello @Goran tek-en: ! I've checked the map; you should modify these countries, since they're not updated (in parenthesis you'll find the correct number of WHS):

Austria (9)
Bahrain (2)
Barbados (1)
Cyprus (3)
Denmark (6)
Dominica (1)
Ecuador (5)
Gabon (1)
Iceland (2)
Lesotho (1)
Vatin city (2) which is - together with San Marino (1) - not displayed in your map
Malta (3)
Myanmar (1)
Palau (1) - also not displayed
Palestine (2)
Qatar (1)
Saint Kittis and Nevis (1)
Saint Lucia (1)
Seychelles (2)

In addition, I understand the importance of wikipedia conventions and I'd use your map for scientific/encyclopedic purposes. Nevertheless I'd kindly ask you if you can also craft a map with more colours as in your previous example. This second map fits better in projects as Wikivoyage where the aim is to fascinate the reader and where aesthetics plays a bigger role. Thank you very much --Nastoshka (talk) 23:30, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

@Nastoshka: To me;

Dominica alreade was 1
Palau was in the map

Ones we have agreed on that this map is correct I will of course make the other version also. I must tell you that I'm very impressed on how you checked the map and having knowledge of all those very small countries, fantastic. New draft. Get back to me with feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:27, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi @Goran tek-en: ! Thanks for what you said. That's not fantastic: If you've been helping a small project such as a touristic guide (as Wikivoyage) and you're sysop, then it happens you have to make corrections or small edits also in the articles about those small countries, so you make acquaintance with them and their position on the earth. :) Anyway, perhaps you linked me the same draft as yesterday. To me it seems as no changes were made. P.s: Be careful not to confuse Dominica - the small island - with Dominican Republic which is bigger and situated next to Haiti (they're very close but one was already correct, the other was on the layer 0). I cannot see Palau too, they're a group of small islands north of Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands. Can you check if you linked me the new map? --Nastoshka (talk) 19:00, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

@Nastoshka: New draft and you might need to force an update (ctrl+update) of your browser or empty the cache before you can see the new draft. This because I use the same link and depending on the settings in your browser and how it works you sometimes has to do this to see the new version. I have put a pink triangle around Palau, and that island is named Palaua in the map so I hope that is correct. Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:58, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Perfect. This map is now correct! Good work. --Nastoshka (talk) 06:25, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

@Nastoshka: That's great, now you can look at the colored version and give me feedback.

@Goran tek-en: Also this one looks great to me! So the parameter should be:

Map with many inaccuracies for legality of Salvia divinorum by jurisdiction

Legal status of Salvia Divinorum by jurisdiction

Request: This map is very incorrect, and desprately needs to be recolored so that the map remains true to the real legal status of the substance. Specifically:

The following states are marked as areas where the substance is banned, however, they are not; they have only introduced legislation and they have not been approved yet. I request that a new color be added to the map to represent jurisdictions where legislation is pending and the outcome is not yet known:

New York
New Jersey
Indiana
South Carolina
Texas
Massachusetts
Pennsylvania
Utah
Alaska
Maryland (Note that Maryland is not colored as a banned jurisdiction like the previous ones)

Additionally, the following areas either are colored wrong, or are not colored at all, when they should be marked as areas where it is banned:

Alabama
Connecticut
Delaware
Florida
Illinois
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Minnesota
Mississippi
Missouri
North Carolina
North Dakota
Oklahoma
South Dakota
Tennessee

I used http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_Salvia_divinorum for reference. Please note that I may have missed a few places, so please double check. The only places that seem to have problems are individual states in the US.

What would be needed--Dcheagle 02:41, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Either a scan of a higher-quality map (this one is difficult to read in some spots, and the thickness of the lines causes ambiguity in some places), or a textual description of the boundaries of every county on the map. Or detailed coordinate data. As is, someone could trace the map you provided, but the result would risk being inaccurate, even if the text was more readable. Powers (talk) 02:34, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

I have found a Higher quality map--Dcheagle 02:18, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

That's about as high quality a scan as possible for that particular map. My point, though, was that a) it will take a long time to trace it and b) even so there will be some errors inherent in the tracing, simply because it is coming from a tracing and not from actual geophysical data.

That Could work the only problem that I would see with doing that is that the upper counties dont quite match up with there counter parts on the Sequoyah map. Comes close though which would be fine with me, at this point I'm looking for any thing that would work.--Dcheagle 01:12, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Map of Rio de Janeiro's east side

Map of Rio de Janeiro's east side (SVG)

Request: This map was extracted from OpenStreetMap and it seems to have some flaws, maybe non-valid code. It turned out to be very difficult to edit. I cannot see objects outside the page borders (on Inkscape) and is very hard to change the highways color, for example. Could someone take a look at it? Best regards; Felipe Menegaz 01:50, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): @Felipe Menegaz: It' s a very complex map with a LOT OF information and very heavy to work with. There is a clipping or a mask which has to be released to get to the things outside the page. You could probably find the roads by searching for there colors and change them in that way. But to me the main question is, Do you REALLY need a map with all that information?
Would it not be better to make a map with just the content you need? --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:03, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

adding US state borders to world map

Just need one of the following:

Request:

Could we have the borders of the 48 contiguous US states fitted to File:BlankMap-World6.svg? We've been adding them one by one to the maps above, but there are enough of them now that the distortions we've introduced are starting to interfere with each other.

As a secondary priority, state boundaries for Mexico and Australia may prove useful in the next couple years, but the hack job I've done is good enough for now.

If you work on the blank world map, I can copy it over to the other two myself (assuming I can copy & paste from it in Inkscape). If there already is a version of this map w subnational boundaries, please just point it out and I'll take it from there. --Kwamikagami (talk) 23:05, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

It's a problem that the other maps we have with all the states has another point of center, projection and so on. There is this file BlankMap-USA-states-Canada-provinces, HI closer, is that what you want regarding the 48 states of US?

It doesn't really fit so I'm not sure what to do. I might be able to tweak it in, but then it wont be accurate (if there is such a thing with maps).

This is a blank base map so I think we should do it really accurate. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:25, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Yes, that's what I was looking for. I thought you might know the point-of-center and projection, and could therefore adjust another map to fit. If you can't, then we might as well stick with the hack job I'm doing. Kwamikagami (talk) 08:25, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

The Armenian Apostolic Church is erroneously colored (in red) as being part of the Eastern Orthodox Church in the map File:Europe religion map.png and in all in its different language versions File:Europe religion map-ar.png, File:Europe religion map de.png, File:Europe religion map en.png, File:Europe religion map fr.png etc., which is incorrect because it is a separate Christian denomination. Could you color Armenia and the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan in a different color in all these maps? -- IP User 31.200.10.222 (talk) 18:25, 27 December 2014‎ (UTC)

Spanish image request

English image

Article(s): es:METRORail

Request: Please make a Spanish version. The names of the stations should be the same. However there are descriptions below. These should be translated: "At (name)" becomes "en (name)" - "Between (name) and (name)" becomes "Entre (name) y (name)" - And "(name) at (name)" becomes "(name) y (name)" --WhisperToMe (talk) 00:56, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@WhisperToMe: I've added the translation (did you mean "(name) en (name)" for "at"?) to the file and cleaned it up significantly so the text and translation are human-editable just by scrolling to the bottom of the file in Notepad (or similar). I think it would be worth adding translations for the P&R lot and Transit Center, but hopefully you can fill in the spaces for those yourself, as well as fixing any other translation errors. If you do still want or need help, though, just say the word. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 15:19, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

@NikNaks: Thank you so much! I noticed the ping but had gotten caught up in other stuff. Anyway I'll see if there's anyplace where METRO translated "Park and Ride Lot" and "Transit Center" on its website. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:24, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

From http://www.ridemetro.org/MetroPDFs/Schedules/METRORail-Maps-Schedules/METRORail-RiderGuide.pdf - http://www.webcitation.org/6ai7RIOi4 - Park & Ride is translated to Estacionamiento Park & Ride and Transit Center becomes Centro de Transporte, although the station names are not translated. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:26, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm using Jarry1250's tool to try to modify "Transit Centro" into "Centro de Transporte" and to add: "Park and Ride lot" "Estacionamiento Park & Ride" - However the form URL says "formerror" but I don't see what kind of error is happening??? WhisperToMe (talk) 20:36, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

I've never tried using the tool with <switch> based translations, and I'm not sure if it's designed for it. If you download the file and open it with a notepad-style application, you should be able to see all the translations at the bottom of the file and do it that way. If that seems too daunting though, I'm happy to finish off the additional bits of text. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 22:17, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

@NikNaks: Thank you, NikNaks! I tried uploading a modified file (I edited it in Notepad) but I keep getting "The XML in the uploaded file could not be parsed." I looked through the code and couldn't see how I was doing anything wrong in it... WhisperToMe (talk) 08:23, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: How odd. It's possible that Notepad encoded the file incorrectly, but that's the only thing I can think of. Regardless, I've made the changes. If you think that the station names containing "Transport Center" should be kept fully in English, unlike what I've done, just say so and I'll switch them back. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 09:15, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

@NikNaks: Thank you so much! Anyway, the station names with "Transit Center" should be kept the same in Spanish because METRO renders the names of the stations as such in Spanish in its documents. When it's a generic "transit center" usage it's okay to say "centro de transporte". WhisperToMe (talk) 11:39, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

My bad. That should be it finished, then. :) NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 15:01, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you! One more small thing: The parking one should be "Estacionamiento Park & Ride" with the "and" being in English since METRO uses the English name "Park and Ride" in the Spanish. @NikNaks: WhisperToMe (talk) 16:47, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Aha! I've found out why you were getting an error. Typing an ampersand in UTF-8 encoded file causes an error, as it's a special character. You need to use the representation & amp; instead (without a space). I've fixed the 'y' with said character, but now that we know why it broke you should be able to edit it should you find anything further. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 13:35, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Cool! Thank you so much for finding that! I think this section is

Map of the Winnipeg travel (1939)

Map of the Atlantic Ocean.
Example of a sea travel map.

Article(s): es:Winnipeg (barco), en:SS Winnipeg

Request: I need a map of the travel of the ship Winnipeg between France and Chile in 1939. We will do an edit-a-thon this Saturday about this travel, and would be really amazing having this map to illustrate the articles related. Best, --Warko (talk) 23:39, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

I guess this edit-a-thon has been planned for some time so we graphic workers would have appreciated some more time to complete this request (at least that is my opinion). --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:25, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Sure, I didn't say I want this image for the edit-a-thon itself, I only requested the image "to illustrate the articles related", so if it is designed after Saturday, it is fine too. Best, --Warko (talk) 20:57, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Now you can find it here SS Winnipeg journey (1939). I had some problems with the text so I made it into outline. I guess this text won't be changed to often. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:48, 16 October 2015 (UTC) Done

SVG version of Bounty Voyages Map.png

voyages of HMS Bounty in the south Pacific
Label-less base map

Article(s): es:Motín del HMS Bounty

Request: I would like to have a SVG version of this map done so that I can later create a Spanish version for the article mentioned above, currently nominated for featured in the Spanish Wikipedia. Thank you!--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 08:17, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@Rowanwindwhistler: There is no raw SVG version of the map, but there is a PNG version without most labels which allows you to add the Spanish labels by yourself in MSPaint or GIMP easily. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 02:17, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Though I would rather have SVG maps than non-vector ones, that would indeed be a way to go. I will see if I can find a base SVG map of the area and add the voyages to it (not sure if there is one). If not, I will consider using the PNG base map. Thanks for the suggestion.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 06:16, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

@Rowanwindwhistler: You can try OpenStreetMap to crop the same region as best as you can and save as SVG format. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 07:06, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

I have never tried that but I will next time I need a SVG base map. In the end I managed to find a map that shows roughly the same region and created a SVG version of the original map. I think we can mark this request as resolved. Many thanks for all your suggestions!--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 07:31, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: I really need your help and feedback to be able to complete your request, both right now and further on. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:55, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: The draft looks great! I've been trying to find out if Chinese maps use "km" (like English ones do) or if they use a Chinese character, but my searches on Google and Baidu weren't conclusive. I'm going to ask on the ZH Wikipedia IRC channel WhisperToMe (talk) 17:25, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: On IRC techyan just told me there's no need to translate km/mi as Chinese speakers understand what that means - The map can proceed ... sorry for the wait! WhisperToMe (talk) 17:29, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Most Chinese speakers know what km means, and use it in daily basies. But many may have difficulties understanding mi. Since there are already translations of kilometers and miles in the graph, they could suggested the readers that the meaning of mi even if they don't know that accuartely. Plus, that is in a plotting scale, where most maps in China uses English abbreviations instead of Chiense words. --Techyan（Talk） 17:40, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: Now you can find it here file:MH370 flight path with labels-zh-s.svg.

The next is a png image MH370_ATC_and_air_routes_map so I had to make a svg version so it can be translated to other languages easier.
So before I do the Chinese version I want you to help me with checking my English svg version. Give me feedback on it so I can continue or change what ever needs, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 21:03, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Will the resolution be bigger? If not, I wonder if the text of footnotes 1 and 2 and the city text for Kuala Terengganu and Narathiwat could be made just slightly bigger for readability. Other than that it looks good :) WhisperToMe (talk) 21:08, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: I have increased the texts you mentioned but it's a svg so it can be enlarged without any quality lost.

You can find it here file:MH370 ATC and air routes map-en.svg and I will work on the Chinese version now. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:12, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: I tried to find out if simplified Chinese is written left to wright or the opposite when written horizontal. But the information I found tells me it can be either or. How should those translations be written, it's important in legend and other places? --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:37, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: In Mainland China Chinese is usually written left to right, or top to bottom. AFAIK it is written right to left only on airplanes or buses or ships (if viewing the starboard side) - If it's alright @Techyan: might elaborate more WhisperToMe (talk) 02:28, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en and WhisperToMe: Left to right. Both simplified and traditional in modern days write this way. That's why the side bar zh.wikipedia.org and en.wikipedia.org are all to the left while ar.wikipedia.org is to the right. When writting vertically (from top to bottom) in modern Chinese, both from left to right and opposite is acceptable. Readers will try to figure out the text start from which side when they are reading vertical Chinese texts. In modern Japanese, vertical texts are prefer to write from right to left, while Chinese (regardless of simplified and traditional) have no preferences. --Techyan（Talk） 04:54, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

@Techyan and WhisperToMe: Thanks for that information. Now there is a draft for you to check. There are some items I couldn't find translation for so I need them if it should be translated. Feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:46, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: - I took a look. IGARI and BITOD are names of waypoints and I don't think they need to be translated. @Techyan: . I don't think I see anything else that's not translated. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:48, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: All translated. No need to translate other texts. --Techyan（Talk） 04:55, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: Now you can find it here MH370 ATC and air routes map-zh-s.svg, I will work on the last one now. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:59, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: New draft of the third image. There are some texts that are not translated, upper left corner and Australia side. Also I had to make line breaks without knowing if it's correct so check everything.
This map is a true svg map based on this File:MH370_SIO_search_through_Nov_2014.svg which has a raster image in the background.
Feedback thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:41, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Sorry for getting to this late. I took a look and the format looks fine. As for the one untranslated thing, I don't know how to say that. @Techyan: , how do you state:

"Towed Pinger Locator Search & Seafloor Sonar Survey (4 April - 28 May 2014)" in Simplified Chinese? I believe the date part is "从2014年4月4日到28日".
en:Exmouth UK has the Chinese article zh:埃克斯茅斯 so I wonder if Exmouth in Australia can use that name too. RAAF Base Amberley is "安伯利空军基地" but I don't know how Learmonth would be translated.

Thanks :)

@WhisperToMe: The translations I found for "Towed Pinger Locator" vary on the internet, so I will ask for an exact translation in an aviation-related forum. It may take a couple of days to get an answer. --Techyan（Talk） 17:32, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: I am one of colleagues of Techyan on Chinese Wikipedia. I authored some civil aviation entries mostly on Chinese Wikipedia. I am an amateur of civil aviation as well. Hereby provides you translation aid which you need.
Towed Pinger Locator Search--拖拽式声波发射定位器搜索
Seafloor Sonar Survey--海底声纳勘测
Exmouth--埃克斯茅斯
RAAF Learmonth--澳大利亚皇家空军里尔蒙斯机场
Plus, I suggest you to ask a Chinese native (or people who are familiar with Chinese, near native) to polish your translation. For example, it is much better to translate TPL search & seafloorsonar survey (inset) into 拖拽式声波发射定位器搜索和海底声纳勘测（详见小地图）, because it fits Chinese language custom better. Because I am rather busy these days, so it will be better if you could find another Chinese native to help you polish your translation, sorry. If it is hard for you to find one, you can ask me then. I would like to help you in that circumstance.
Nice to meet you here. If you need some more help these days or in the future, you can contact me via my user talk page, I will help you if I can.--ArthurLau1997 (talk) 16:38, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Arthur, nice to meet you too! I really appreciate your post :) - I'll go on ZHwiki and ask around to see if people are willing to further refine any translations. @Goran tek-en: WhisperToMe (talk) 20:42, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: I will wait until you tell what to change and which translation to use. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:30, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Ok. I'll wait and see if other ZHwiki users give additional insights. Otherwise pay attention to what User:ArthurLau1997 said. If nobody else comes I'll ask Arthur to take another look and make more suggestions. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:59, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: I haven't heard anything in a long time so I have now made changes as above and uploaded the file.

Now you can find it here: file:MH370 SIO search-zh-s.svg

Done If you are happy with this please put the code {{section resolved|1=~~~~}} on this request so it can be archived, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:56, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
