my first map
-
Map of the world with contries and Britsh homelands in different colors
- Request
- Its my first svg file and my first map for commons. Pleas can someone take a look at this map (bevor I will uplaod similar maps for other years and themes) if it is 1. a correct or good svg file (created with inkscape, using the commons-blank-world-map as source), 2. the nessesary tags are set, 3. if you want, we can also provide hints on the design of the map and the legende. Thanks in advance. --TheRunnerUp (talk) 12:52, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Unabhängig von Quellcode usw.:
- Vergiss nicht, Inseln und Außengebiete mit einzufärben, z.B. bei Australien Tasmanien und Melville Island oder bei den USA Alaska und Hawaii. Ob man bei Frankreich auch zum Mutterland zählende Außengebiete mit einfärbt, sollte man zumindest überdenken, unabhängig davon, zu welchem Ergebnis man für sich kommt.
- Ich empfehle, die Farbpalette zu überdenken und sich von RGB-Grundtönen wie diesem unschönen Grün zu abschieden. Mischtöne sind für das Auge in der Regel angenehmer, weil natürlicher. Der Schwarzton ist zwar der stärkste Kontrast, der möglich ist, aber er hat keine Signalwirkung. Nur ein Land wird schwarz. Wenn es ein kleines Land wird (z.B. Belgien, aber auch schon hier mit England wird es sichtbar), ist der Gastgeber verhältnismäßig schwer zu finden. Gelb ist grundsätzlich keine gute Wahl, wenn eine gelbe Fläche an eine weiße stoßen wird, weil sich die Flächen dann nicht gut voneinander erkennen lassen. Sollte ein Inselstaat gelb werden, ist er für den Leser praktisch weg, ähnlich schon bei Südkorea, das an drei Seiten von Wasser umgeben ist. NNW 15:38, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- Danke für die Tipps! Alaska und Tasmanien habe ich schon dazugefügt, bei Frankreich und Niederlande lasse ich die Überseegebiete jedenfalls weg (sonst schauts aus, als ob auch eine weitere Südamerikansiche Mannschaft teilgenommen hat). Grün und schwarz werde ich noch ändern; gelb lasse ich so, da kommen im laufe der Jahre immer mehr Länder dazu, sodass es eine unauffällige Farbe sein soll), aber ich werde alle grau abgrenzen, so wie ich es innhalb Europas (und bei einem anderen Versuch mit den Solomn Inseln) schon gemacht habe. --TheRunnerUp (talk) 17:21, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- TheRunnerUp I have some more general thoughts for you. On my user page I have put some links which I find useful when doing graphic work here. In the 'tools' column you find links to W3C validator so that the code of the file is correct. In Inkscape use the Clean up document and then save it as optimized svg. Most often I have unchecked all boxes as that (for me) works best.
- I try as much as possible to make my graphic work here also function for people with color blind problems. Search for pallets to use, the fewer colors the easier. When it's complex work you have to use different patterns as well. If you export your work from Inkscape as a png file you can check in gimp how it will look for people with those problems: View/Display Filters.../Color Deficient Vision.
- In File information use Captions as that is searchable outside of commons, in any search engine. Look at what other people do, search and read. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:50, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- TheRunnerUp Also you should think about in which size you create your work. When we create graphic work we just don't do it for one specific usage, we make it available to the whole word and we can't know how it will be used. Often when used in a project within wikimedia it's used as thumbnail which when clicked on gives you the full image size. The map you have created is for me all to big, you can only view a small portion of it when looked at 100%. A common screen size is 1920*1080 or around. Most windows doesn't cover the full screen so maybe 800-1000 px in width is what you often view. Also when you have a very large drawing and a thumbnail is maybe 200 px wide it's really difficult to be able to see anything. It's always a problem with thumbnails because many editors wants the graphic work to be visible in detail which is almost impossible to achieve. As Inkscape is a svg tool we don't need to make the drawing so large in pixels as it enlarges with out any losses. Still, when you enlarge very much you will have other problems with relations between objects. So it's best if one can work on a size where the work is visible as you want it to be in 100% on a common screen and there I have found 600-800px high works pretty well mostly. Some times there are specific demands for any reason. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:12, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

white areas are black at the version of 10:07, 15. Jan. 2021
_participating_nations.svg)
_results.svg)
Article(s): [[]]
- Request
- What is here the problem? I made an upload with UploadWizzard of the first map (created with inkscape, using the commons-blank-world-map as source) anc all is fine. I made an upload of the second map (only some colors - but not white - have been changed from grey to a color or from a color to grey) and all white areas become black (Version with time stamp 10:07, 15. Jan. 2021).
- As a first workaround I changed the color white from FFFFFF to FEFFFF (which looks nearly white but is not really white) to get a useable result at the moment, but this is not a good solution.
- What did I make wrong and how correct it? --TheRunnerUp (talk) 11:56, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- Graphist opinion(s)
TheRunnerUp If you download that version with black and open it in a text editor (not an advanced writer) and turn on Line number. Start to mark from line 16 '<path id="ocean" class="oceanxx"' down thru line 20 'sodipodi:insensitive="true" />' and cut that out. Go down to line 222 which should end with '</style>'. Put your marker after that and make a new line and paste your content, Save as with new name. At this SVG checker you can check files. If it doesn't load click 'Commons SVG Checker is not loading? Click here!' Use the Upload file and first you can check the downloaded 'black' file, Execute SVG check... and it will show below. Now check the new 'white' one. For me it works.
Why that code peace has moved I don't know but the other file '1987' has that code peace in this position so something must have happened. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:08, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for your hints. I will do these edits in the next days. But in general I think the problem is not my svg file, but the viewer in Wikimeida/wikipedia. When I open the file in inkscape th wiht background is ok, when I open it in firefox or edge it is ok ... only at commons on i.e. de-wikipedia it is shown incorrect. --TheRunnerUp (talk) 17:48, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Poll tax history
Article(s): en:Women's poll tax repeal movement
- Request
- This article was recently promoted to Featured Article and is scheduled to be presented on the main page for 8 March. I had requested help at the en.WP map workshop, but the request was archived without anyone taking it. One of the reviewers found the above map, but I'd like to have a derivative but separate image of the GIF, tailored to specifically address only poll taxes which applied as prerequisites to voting in the US. (In other words, leave the original GIF as it is, but create a new GIF based upon it.) A discussion of what is needed, along with sourcing, is here: en:Talk:Women's poll tax repeal movement#GIF
- Can the title be "History of poll tax as a condition to voting"?
- Can we add and remove parts of the GIF as indicated in the discussion?
- Can we change the colors as indicated in the discussion?
- Can you slow down the time increment so that people have the opportunity to read the text?
It would be fabulous if the GIF could be completed before it is scheduled to run on the main page. Thank you so much for any help. SusunW (talk) 13:41, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Article(s):
- en:Vellar River (Northern Tamil Nadu), although it may also have use for any of the tributary articles.
- Request
- Reposting a request from the Wikipedia map workshop here. A map depicting the drainage basin of the Vellar River. A map like this is the ideal thing. Names and courses of rivers, basin boundaries, water bodies, a small inset that contextualizes the basin, and district borders if possible. Be warned, the Vellar River system is larger and more complex than the example river system. I am still doing research to revamp the article, so don't worry about river/tributary names for now, as I'm still gathering the info. However, for reference maps that show courses, borders, and water bodies, here are sources 1 and 2 (p. 1 and 5). Thanks for any help, feel free to reach me on my talk page, or mention me here, with any questions. Starkenborgher (talk) 14:18, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Starkenborgher You can close the request at the Wikipedia map workshop.
It would have helped if you used the "Make a new request" link at the top as it provides us with all the code we need. I added the code here below.
First we will have to decide on the overall area of the map so I will start with that and get back to you. --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:46, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Goran tek-en Omitting the indent to free up space for new indents since its just us communicating. The basin borders in red look good, but there is the one spot where they are disconnected in kind of the bottom middle where the red line that reaches up to the main river and goes with one of the dashed lines should probably be moved left a little bit so the borders meet at the meeting place of the three rivers. I think you might have gotten the district borders a bit off and maybe used the roads which are in tan colors as district borders. No problem, the zoom and lines on that source I most recently gave can be hard to deal with. Figure 3 on page 4 of this source would probably be easier to use to interpret district borders. My mistake for not mentioning it earlier, I forgot. Lastly, if you could add lines for the tributaries of river 10 that come in from the left on Figure 6 of page 5 from that same source. Other than these things, the map looks great, and I'll be working on finishing up the river names. Thanks again. Starkenborgher (talk) 13:55, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

- Starkenborgher Draft-3, check it.
- I have just put out one name for you to see that if we put out all of them it will totally pack the map, it will be very hard to fit them. So to me we can either just put out the numbers and then have the names in a legend in the description section or it can be on the side of the map (included with the map). Or reduce the amount of names, or some names (most important) in the map by the rivers and the rest in legend.
- Do you want the different basins areas colored or just borders? --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:14, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Goran tek-en I think the best option is to name the rivers within the map in a legend on the side. Keeping the sub-basins as borders and not colored is fine. Removing the numbers for the rivers that I could not find names for would probably unclog the map to a degree and make it easier to understand. Additionally, if you could add numbers for the tributaries that were added to river 10, they all do have names, and to keep it concise I can provide them here. From top left to bottom right its 1. Chittar River 2. Manjini River 3. Ellar River and 4. Vadgarai River. Thanks.
Actually, if you could include the names for some rivers on the map too, that would be good. Just the Vellar, Manimuktha, Gomukhi, Anaivari, Vellar or Vasishta, Chinnar, and Swetha need to be labeled on the map, the others can be in a legend on the map with numbers.Starkenborgher (talk) 18:54, 11 March 2021 (UTC)- Starkenborgher Draft-4. --Goran tek-en (talk) 22:42, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

- Goran tek-en Sorry. I'm not that experienced with commons, and I was just trying to be helpful. The name can be "Vellar River basin map". Description: A map of the river system and drainage basin of the Vellar River, in Tamil Nadu, India. Names of major tributaries are included in the map, and the legend provides names of more minor tributaries in the system, that correspond to numbers on the map. Caption: Map showing the basin of the Vellar River and its tributaries. Both in English, I guess. If it is going in as an SVG, which maybe it isn't, the one category I can think of is SVG maps of Tamil Nadu. Thanks again. Starkenborgher (talk) 18:49, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Confirm which ones are lossless from the PNG original?
ResolvedArticle(s): (none speaking)
- Request
- I wanted to add this map, and I thought converting from the TIFF original would have the best color quality and overall quality. The TIFF master is here. I first used a web-based program to do #1, but I tried another PC-based program with #2, only to get what may be a loss of color. Are either lossless from the TIFF original or is there something I should do? Thanks --WhisperToMe (talk) 03:02, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: I guess the most straight forward and less invasive method is to open and export in Gimp or similar. I have no idea what kind of tools/libraries the web based or pc based tools are using. I actually don't know 100% that Gimp is not doing anything without telling me but I don't think so. I have exported a png version which you can download from here. I hope this helps you. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:38, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

- I found this awesome map of the Nùng Autonomous Territory on Reddit. This map is a faithfully inspired version of a public domain map (in French) issued during the 1940's or early 1950's. The problem with the Reddit map is that its copyright © status is incompatible with Wikimedia Commons so I can't use it. If possible I would like for a WikiGraphist to create a map similar to "the Reddit map". --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 20:17, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

You can just create the map without the diacritical marks for the cities (Just use the above for now) and I will ask another Wikicartographer to add the correct tones and accents. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 11:15, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

- Donald Trung Thank you ever so much for the list of names, it helps me a lot.
- When maps are created here at commons we try to stick to Maps template-en so that a map created by someone is similar to what another graphic worker creates. So I try to stick to that regarding borders and so on.
- I will show you a draft here and before I continue I really need your help here. This draft is created from OSM with today's coastlines and borders. The two maps you provided are sketchy compared to OSM, also in other proportions so they are hard to work from and there are some really big differences. To me the borders of interprovincial and interdistrict must have changed since then. So I would need a good map with the borders or I have nothing to go from. Don't think about colors or stuff like that, right now we have to get the borders correct. Draft-2. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:32, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en: , yes, the borders of the Hải-Ninh Province / Quảng Ninh Province have changed a lot since the 1940's (when the original map was made), two districts belonging to the Hải-Ninh Province during the French Protectorate of Tonkin were transferred to the Lạng Sơn Province during the later years of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam). I used the "colours" to indicate what wẵs where in the Reddit map. Nungmapist (or however the Reddit user was called, BNungcartography or Nungcartographer) based their map on the public domain one that is now on Wikimedia Commons. Unfortunately I don't really have access to any French or Vietnamese atlasses from the 1940's other than that map. Your borders are mostly right, but fail at the border with the Lạng Sơn province, I probably should have noted from the beginning that the Hải-Ninh Province consisted of more than just the modern-day Quảng Ninh Province. Wikipedia does lists all these administrative transfers... BUT... there are no visualisations to make it easier for us. I will look for more information and will come back to you once I found a better way to verbalise the administrative border changes. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 19:06, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

- @Goran tek-en: , from what I can tell only the Đình Lập Distict (same name for its capital city) was moved to another province. The rest all largely coincide. The only actually wrong borders from your map are the northwestern ones.

I need you to download my latest draft, mark the border which is wrong, make a screen print from OSM, in circle the correct border and show them to me.

@Goran tek-en: , I added a map above. I was such an idiot, I used the modern Quảng Ninh Province as a reference, but Between 1906 and 1963 Hải Ninh was a separate province from Quảng Yên, which explained why modern maps are useless. I made an approximation of the borders using the OpenStreetMap software above. I hope that this will be enough for you to work with. The red borders are the borders of the Hải Ninh Province and its Districts. I hope that you have enough information now to make a map of the Hải Ninh Province in Tonkin, French Indo-China. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 07:24, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
- Donald Trung We agreed on the area the map should cover but to me it seems as it's to small?
- Check the different areas, don't think about the colors right now, Draft-3. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 19:39, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en: , yes, it is fine. Excuse me for not having the request in order when I filed it, it is the first time that I've worked with a map request and honestly I thought that someone would be able to "re-work the Reddit map", but your map looks fine, it just needs to be slightly zzoomed out. My issue is that I checked the English-language Wikipedia for the province which redirected it to Quảng Ninh Province so I just assumed that Hải-Ninh Province was renamed rather than merged, so I got the wrong area. As a final note, it is likely a good idea to exclude the scale from the original map. Also, probably use "Mãn" instead of "Miền" in the pie chart, as it was the contemporary term used by the Hải-Ninh Province government and is used in the literature. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 19:50, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
- Donald Trung
- The colors are picked to work with many people with color deficiency.
- The reason I choose to make the pie chart in grey is because it could so easily be confused with the colors of the map.
- I miss two city names in the dark pink area and also one in the yellow area.
- In the pie chart I also miss some words.
- In the reddit map there is an island which is divided above Vinh Thuc island but I can't find any such island on the OSM map.
- The border between Bac Giang and Lang Son seems wrong to me.
- For most of the cities I had to guess there location so check them also.
- Regarding the reddit map, we can't "copy" a map which is not free, we can only use it as information. Besides, I think that map is bad. Of course it shows what you want but as an "illustration" (which is how I see maps) it's not nice. To me the coastline and rivers are important to get a feel of how the country might be.

Comments on Draft number 4
- @Goran tek-en: , first of all excuse me for the late reply as I didn't seem to get a notification 🔔 about the ping. I'm not really that concerned about the colours as I am sure that your vision of the colours are fine as Wikipedia must think of maximum accessibility. Regarding your comments and questions.
1. I understand your decision, I had no preference for any colours, if you would've chosen to make Hải Ninh a single colour I would have respected your decision.
2. I understand your reasoning, in the public domain map the inverse is true, the pie chart is coloured and the entire map is yellow.
3. Those are (will add them on my other phone with a Vietnamese keyboard). Lục Hồn (yellơw area), Bản Guốn (top dark pink), Bình Xá (bottơm dark pink).
4. You missed "Thổ" ("Thao" in Draft-4) and "Chinese Nung" = "Chinese Nùng". Also, you can make the words "Ethnic groups" on the top of the pie chart bold to make it stand out from the actual names of the ethnic groups.
5. Ghost Island (👻🏝), ignore it! The Redditor adopted it from the original 1940's/1950's Nùng Autonomous Territory government map, it does not exist in real life!!!
6. It is wrong! Bắc Giang extends further north taking the entirety of the river. The river that reaches Hải-Ninh Province's Đình Lập District. For reference, you can use the yellow line on "my map" above as a reference for its border with the river and the other province, rather than the contemporary borders in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
7. Most of these cities changed their names and neither the original map nor the Reddit map based on it provide accurate locations (literally the reason people make maps in the first (1st) place), I would advise just not putting any dots for those places, maybe they are even just names for regions. I really don't know as those maps are my only real reference and many places seem to have been renamed in the many decades that have passed.
8. I never meant for someone here to "just copy" that map, that would be a copyright © violation, also, the map is bad because it is just a computer-drawing of a hand-drawing from a person that didn't have much experience making maps. I see many errors in the original map that the Reddit map had to correct.
9. Looks really nice, more corrections coming up. Oh yeah, you can also add "Golf of Tonkin" to the large empty blue sea area. It would give a better indication of its location.
If you have any more questions I will answer them. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 22:55, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

- 1. I don't understand this "if you would've chosen to make Hải Ninh a single colour I would have respected your decision" and I don't no which area Hải Ninh would be.
- 6. Is this border correct now?
- Draft-5. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:26, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en: , it looks awesome!!!
Two (2) Minor corrections, I meant to write "Gulf of Tonkin" as "Golf" is Dutch like the Swedish "-golfen", my bad. And finally, perhaps it would be better to mark the three (3) other Vietnamese provinces in the map as "Lạng Sơn Province", "Bắc Giang Province", and "Quảng Yên Province" so they can't be confused for Districts by unfamiliar readers. Anyhow, after those minor changes the map would be ready to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 18:50, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

- @Goran tek-en: , personally I thought of requesting that the other provinces wouldn't be Coloured in, but I didn't want to burthen you with too much work (as their colours don't detract from the value of the image, but if you want you can make them beige or something). Anyhow, the concept images can be used for the historical record as I don't think that they fail to fulfill the educational value of what I attempted to express in many words above.

As you decided to keep yours maps I added them as sources. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 19:50, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks you very much, the map actually looks a lot better with the other provinces being a different colour, as it is a map of Hải-Ninh Province and only Hải-Ninh Province (well, according to some sources also a "Monkay Province" or an "Independent city of Monkay", but I just used the official map provided by the Hải-Ninh Province government). Regarding the concept images, well, it is mostly for future people I deem "WikiHistorians" (usually just curious people that look through archives), oftentimes when I check 10 (ten) year old discussions on Wikimedia Commons I see many external links that go to websites that simply don't work anymore, concepts are being discussed that you simply cannot fully understand without the associated images and/or websites, but then nothing is accessible now, so you are essentially just getting "half the information" and are left "missing out" on the rest. In a way, that is something historians almost always face with researching the past, for example now I'm researching the old seal of the Viceroy of Tonkin and I actually managed to find a source that references it, but doesn't show it. The same with all those cities in Hải-Ninh Province that you just guessed their location, most of them changed names and most of Vietnam's archives aren't publicly available, so I can't verify that place A in 1948 is Place B in 2021. To me accuracy is the most important part of making content here, and if I can't be 100% (one-hundred percent) sure of something I will publish the information ℹ, but show others what I couldn't find so they have "a frame of reference" to work with while "continuing my research", someone in the future can always fix the cities on the map by adding locations, but we shouldn't speculate, because it is better to show less information ℹ than to show misinformation. By the way, I deliberately didn't ping, as this is a long read 📖 and the map has been created to my satisfaction.

Not a WikiCartographer (kind of), from what I could find about "Jason Industries, Inc." the isn't anything map-related about it. The fact that this IP address is from Phoenix, Arizona, United Statez and that the company is also based in the United States of America it's safe to assume that this isn't an actual map request and I'm tagging it for archiving. If the ABOVE IP Address wishes to file a proper request they can do so.

- Goran tek-en Hey man. I can send you a KMZ (Google Earth) file with the necessary information to make it easier if you want. explaining your maps: the first map shows the area of the municipality. the second shows the 1st district of the city.
- Here in Brazil the municipalities are divided like this: first the municipality is divided into districts, large areas. then it has an urban area, which is the area where the city is located, the urban center. then, the urban area is divided into neighborhoods.
- Your third map shows an image of the urban area, with no divisions, just the streets, and the fourth shows the neighborhoods, but this map of the neighborhoods is not very close to the real one, so I prefer to send the KMZ file, which would be more close to reality.
- Lord4522 (talk) 20:33, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

- Lord4522 (talk) 25:19, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Lord4522 Thanks for the KMZ, it helps but I still have some questions.
- On the link you provided I can't find any information regarding copyright for those images. Can you give information regarding the copyright status as that tells me what I can do, copy or just use it as information, I need to know and see that information. If there is no such information we can ask the people there and then send it to VRT, I can do that but I want you to check first.
- How big area do you want the map to cover, can you draw a rectangle on a print screen from OSM?
- What do want included in the map, roads, railway, houses what, tell me?
- The areas in your link is not to be found on OSM so if the image is copyrighted I will have to draw just from looking at that image so it will not be that accurate.
- Sorry about all the questions but I have zero knowledge about this and want to do a so good work I can. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:39, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Lord4522 Thanks for the KMZ, it helps but I still have some questions.
- Goran tek-en Okay. Those images I sent were make by students at a university in my state. That's all I know, but I didn't expect you to use them definitly, it was just a reference. Some them are inaccurate and this is the problem, that's why I sent the KMZ file, I expected know if you can do any work with this file. I was hoping you would add the rivers (Jaguari and Jaguarizinho),the stream and the (Sanga do Curtume) and the railroad, as they make the boundaries, it would be interesting. So I wanted if possible you could make a general map with the city limits, districts and urban area, and another map with the neighborhoods, in PNG preferably.

- You probably won't find much on the internet, as there really isn't a lot about my city. That's why I sent the KMZ file to help.

- This request is about neighborhoods of Jaguari but now you talk about districts which to my understanding is covering a much larger area so the KMZ file you sent me doesn't depict that at all. I really have to know what you want, remember I have zero knowledge of this area and I can't read what you thinking or taking for granted. If you want both Districts and Neighborhoods I think we have to create two different maps or one much bigger map in pixels size with both parts in it, this we can decide later on.

However the Ottoman Empire-era name for Istanbul in French and English, Constantinople, is not given. The name Constantinople should be added. While those cities were known by Turkish names in Turkish (Konstantiniyye and Istanbul in Turkish for the Ottoman capital), it was only in the 1930s that the Turkish names were adopted in French and English, with the US State Department changing to using Istanbul in 1930.

- The United States is not formally a member of the Western Europe and Others Group (WEOG). Rather, they are an observer and are counted alongside WEOG solely for electoral purposes. (This is a unique case; no other UN member state holds observer status in a regional group.) Given that this map is used on the English and French Wikipedias (and I presume elsewhere) to display group membership, not merely who is counted how for electoral purposes, could the United States be given a lighter shade of that gold-ish colour to reflect that they are an observer?

- Request
- Hello fellow Wikimedia Commonists… I would like to request the creation of a map of New Spain / Mexico in 1800 and 1900 in relation with the United States, the map I used for the concept has a number of errors so I propose using the borders found at "File:Viceroyalty of the New Spain 1800 (without Philippines).png" as the basis for the borders of the Viceroyalty of the New Spain in the year 1800. In my preferred version the Philippine archipelago is included in a way similar to the concept image as it was a part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain in 1800 and the United States of America in 1900.
- In the concept map I used a number of colours that were "friendly to Microsoft Paint", but this wouldn't be preferable for an SVG map. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 16:23, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Donald Trung As always I have questions.
I will adapt and change what is needed. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:31, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: , I always assume that there is no such thing as "common knowledge", as often people use weird jargon or odd terms around me so I always try to explain things as simple as possible. Anyhow, above I listed a couple of maps, "File:Viceroyalty of the New Spain 1800 (without Philippines).png" (Viceroyalty of the New Spain 1800 (without Philippines).) shows what the United States of America 🇺🇸 is, as your map still includes the countries north of New Spain (British North America) as the United States of America 🇺🇸. The 1800 map linked here actually shows what that country was. I also see that your draft still includes an internal border in New Spain (specifically for Louisiana) which isn't necessary as it compares national borders. I hope that this map will make it clear, otherwise look at the concept map I provided here which shows the approximate borders. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 22:47, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Donald Trung I'm sorry but it turned out one of the maps contained some really bad code so I had to start all over. So now I'm working on 1900 but I have some questions there. If you look at this image and where I have added red lines next to borders. Do you have any god map with those borders that I can use? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:42, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
Donald Trung Now I have drafts which is done to the best I can with all the different sources showing different things. Check everything. I have guessed concerning islands so they need extra check. Those are the pure 1800 and 1900 maps, once they are OK we will see if I can add them to one.
Donald Trung As I said before, you are confusing me, now again. It's impossible for me to know what you think I can only go by what you tell me here. I asked this before: In your concept map for 1900 you have both areas from 1800 and 1900, is it supposed to be like that or do you want a pure 1900 map? I also wrote that after we have a pure approved map of 1800 and 1900 we can try to combine them in any way you want. So I will continue to get those pure maps approved by you and then we discuss the combined option. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:39, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
Donald Trung I have made edits to all of the drafts I show you here so check everything.

Donald Trung So now we have those four drafts. If they are approved by you I would need the usual info for each be able to upload them: Name of the file, Description (/language), Captions/s (/language), Category/ies at commons
- 1800 pure
- 1900 pure

It's weird, I still haven't been able to come up with a good file name, I want to call it the "Partition of Mexico (1800-1900)", but that would be "a newly invented name" and I don't know how else to describe this phenomenon. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 14:02, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

- Details of your request go here… I would like these two images to show the border of Western Sahara like in this images: File:Map of the world by the US Gov as of 2016 no legend.svg and File:CIA WorldFactBook-Political world.pdf. I changed the images from the ones I mentioned here to the new ones on the English Wikipedia. Another editor reverted my changes to the images due the new map not being neutral. If you look into this for me, that would be helpful. --Interstellarity (talk) 19:36, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- Graphist opinion(s)
- @Interstellarity: It does not make sense to edit borders on this map, since it is purposely the US (through CIA) vision of the world. And this is well stated both in the title and in the description. For them Western Sahara doesn't exist as country, and the map shows it. I would just close the request. Sette-quattro (talk) 15:16, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Sette-quattro: For an up-to-date, neutral world map, what would be the best file to use on Commons or a file that could be uploaded to Commons? I don't think using the factbook's maps is neutral since this is the US's view of the world. Interstellarity (talk) 19:32, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Interstellarity: I don't think there is such a thing as a "neutral map". You will always make someone angry. Western Sahara, Crimea, Kashmir, Somaliland to make some examples. I'd rather go with a map highlighting all the disputed areas. The most similar thing is the Natural Earth project, which anyways adopt the "on the ground" policy (territories are assigned to whom controls them) and therefore shows Western Sahara mainly as part of Morocco. If you want i can produce a world map out of that data. Sette-quattro (talk) 20:03, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Sette-quattro: Sure, that's fine. Interstellarity (talk) 21:18, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Sette-quattro: How long will it be until the image is complete? I waited 48 hours and no image was published. Did I not wait long enough or does the image take a long time to make? Interstellarity (talk) 21:26, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Interstellarity: I do this in the spare time, as volunteer, so i cannot guarantee any delivery date. When i have some time i work on it. Best! Sette-quattro (talk) 08:28, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- Agree that there's no such thing as a neutral map, but in this case I don't think there's a need to reinvent the wheel. File:BlankMap-World.svg has the flexibility to be edited in a number of ways. Might take less volunteer time to just edit that rather than create something new. It for example already has shapes for the two portions of Western Sahara. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 14:47, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- I just want to echo the above comment, I don't think we need another world map. There are already world maps based on Natural Earth sitting on Commons (File:Worldmap_location_NED_50m.svg, File:Hoelzelnaturalearth.png) though I think File:BlankMap-World.svg is an improvement on those and has a lot of options on how to show disputed areas.

- @Goran tek-en: The English article consistently uses "o", the Greek matches. Thanks for asking!Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 19:22, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
- The map evidently uses contemporary Latin names, not modern or ‘native’ ones: Londinium, Massilia, & Vindobona for London, Marseilles, & Wien/Vienna. I don’t know for certain how Romans spelled the name of the place in Cyprus, but I note that Corinthus shows the -us ending where transliterated Greek would have -os, making me consider the former the more likely.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 19:47, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

- @Kintetsubuffalo: , @Goran tek-en: I agree with Odysseus1479; the map is Latin, not English. I suggest changing it to "Paphus" to match the language of the rest of the map.

- Canary islands is +1 according to that link, but they have Daylight Saving Time (DST).
- Maderia islands seems to have two time zones, one used +1 and one not used +0, DST.
- Norfolk island is also complicated. They also have used and not used but in the text below they say it's using +11 and they have DST. I don't really know which to use.
- Broken Hill (County of Yancowinna) is even more complicated and how can you be able to place it on that map exactly. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:56, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

- Request
- A number of the Grey–green orthographic projections maps appear to have been generated without Eritrea. I've collected them above, sorted by viewpoint. Presumably the same fix can apply across each viewpoint. It's particularly noticeable for groups 1 and 2, and somewhat for 3 and a couple in the miscellaneous group. For the others the fix is not as important, but included for completeness. I'm hoping that for those familiar with orthographic maps this might be an easy fix, as South Sudan seems to have been possible for many of them. --Chipmunkdavis (talk) 12:27, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

- @Sette-quattro: I meant to add the contiguous zones adjacent to Guardafui channel, however I didn't have a coordinate tab on my mapmaker to measure exact distance. Although contiguous zones typically are marked at 24 miles, being accurate to scale isn't crucial as the map is meant for visual simplification. Nonetheless, I realize I overshaded the southern parts, however you are at liberty to reverse my oversealous shading. References that contiguous zones reach out at 24 miles are widespread on google. In summary, the map illustrates a contiguous zone juxtaposed upon the channel. My reason for the contiguous zone running along Puntland's coast is part arbitrary and part that its the immediately recognizable canton in that area. Rcbbtjjhj (talk) 20:52, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

- Make a new map of covid-19 vaccinations in the UK by local authority area, rather than by home nation only, and with updated data (https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/vaccinations here). The current map is now months old and doesn't show more than four data points. The new map ought to look something like the ones on the British Government websites: here, but with the metric of cumulative "People who have received 2nd dose vaccinations" from the government website rather than "percentage of adults vaccinated" used on the government's website interactive map. The data can be downloaded here. (The new map should use either the "Upper Tier Local Authority Data" (minimum detail) or the "Lower Tier Local Authority Data"; the "Middle layer Super Output Areas" (!) are probably unnecessarily small and the "regions" are unwieldy and have no administrative functions.)

Article(s): potentially global usage; could supplant any of the maps above. Especially desirable for pages like British territorial waters and British overseas territories
- Request
- I'd like to request a more detailed world map of the British territorial waters and the territorial waters of the British overseas territories. The present maps don't have any labels and are quite small. It would be ideal if the territories themselves could be made (more) visible using a higher quality standard map. It would be really nice if there's a map for this purpose that shows the depth of the ocean as a relief map, and which has lines of latitude marked (to give an idea of the climate and environment). The territorial waters can be seen here: marineregions.org. My preference would be for a full-length Mercator projection (minimally cut off at the poles, to show the whole Antarctic territory and also because of the explicitly nautical purpose). Possibly there could be shading on the areas that are "territorial waters" and "contiguous zones", and the labels would be easily international-izable. Some of these are also "Marine Protected Areas" which could be useful information to incorporate, but not at all essential. I think this should probably be a relatively simple task for someone proficient in the usual cartographic software. Let me know if any more information is necessary; I look forward to seeing wikigraphists in action! GPinkerton (talk) 23:34, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

- There’s no issue with the maps itself hence why it’s here but I just wondered if it was possible to add a flag of the UK in the Northern Ireland section and a Irish flag along with a EU flag for Southern Ireland in both of these maps to show that the Republic is a EU member given that the Irish Border is also now a EU frontier as well as the UK-border as currently this map only shows a border with nothing to indicate the current geo-political structure of the UK Irish border after Brexit. Also can the Political map be converted to SVG. Then these maps could be then used in other articles. (MOTORAL1987 (talk) 13:46, 28 October 2021 (UTC))

MOTORAL1987 I have made one SVG using an existing SVG map and added flags. It doesn't have labels, but they could be added if necessary, though I think the flags make it obvious enough. GPinkerton (talk) 17:04, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- GPinkerton Thank you and sorry I haven’t replied until now this is a really good start and I do like it I think however labels should be added thou and also please can a flag of the Irish Republic also be added into the SVG and just maybe the flags should be made just slightly smaller otherwise it’s looking perfect. (MOTORAL1987 (talk) 12:22, 31 October 2021 (UTC))
- MOTORAL1987 I put the European flag only because I thought that was more relevant and because I didn't read the initial request properly (!) What labels are needed: country names (which? how many?, how abbreviated?), capital cities? Irish Sea? Great Britain? So far I left the labels out because that way it's universal and international; are they strictly necessary? GPinkerton (talk) 13:59, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- Also, how should the two flags be arranged? Side by side, or one atop the other, or maybe with the Irish flag in the middle of the country and the European one closer the border? GPinkerton (talk) 14:05, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

(MOTORAL1987 (talk) 12:22, 31 October 2021 (UTC))
I think the Irish and EU flags should be side by side in the centre of the map with the flags made slightly smaller so they are not overpowering to the map, oh don’t forget the labels I think Should be simply Northern Ireland with the UK in brackets under the UK flag and the Republic of Ireland with the EU in brackets in the southern section under the flags. Belfast and Dublin should also be in there with small labels and also the Irish Sea. Hope that makes sense. (MOTORAL1987 (talk) 14:17, 31 October 2021 (UTC))
- @MOTORAL1987: I have added labels and the Irish flag to the same file, although to tell the truth, I think the utility of the map is somewhat reduced thereby: the addition of labels makes the flags redundant, and the addition of flags makes the labels unnecessary, while the addition of either leads to the diminution of both (and hence to reduced readability overall). GPinkerton (talk) 15:52, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

- @MOTORAL1987: I have reduced the flag sizes, though I have to say I think it's less attractive this way as the stripes and the stars are quite indistinct without putting the map in full screen. GPinkerton (talk) 18:38, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- I also made a matching map that shows the pre-Brexit situation. GPinkerton (talk) 18:52, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- @GPinkerton: Cheers I do think that works better thou, don’t worry I think it’s fine the last thing I think that just needs altering is underneath the Republic of Ireland can the text change from “(European Union) to (EU member state)” and could a third map be created which is the same as the other two but without any references to the EU please otherwise that is it. Thanks so much for doing that (MOTORAL1987 (talk) 19:44, 31 October 2021 (UTC))

The second image is a reference guide to the nations that did participates in the 1984 Summer Olympics. I also posted an example from the 2012 Summer Olympics showing medals results with countries in gold (for nations that won at least one gold medal), silver (nations that won at least one silver medal, but no gold medals), bronze (nations that ONLY won at least one bronze medal), blue (nations that won zero medals), and red (nations that did not participate in that year's Olympics). --Birdienest81 (talk) 11:16, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- Graphist opinion(s)
- @Birdienest81: that blank map is configured for hand-coding with a text editor, and by the time I’d finished experimenting with it I had your map half done. But I have a couple of quibbles about the 2012 example. One is that colouring non-participants in red seems to draw more attention to them than to the medal achievements, counter to the ostensible purpose; I would like to colour them dark grey. Another is that IMO the circle-markers for small islands and other countries or quasi-colonies just create visual clutter unless they were participants. Who would have guessed the Vatican didn’t send a team? So my preference would be to show the dots for the BVI and Singapore, for example, but not those for the Channel Islands or Brunei. (Rather than basing participation on the 1984 example above I would go by the list at en:1984 Summer Olympics#Participating National Olympic Committees.) What are your thoughts?—Odysseus1479 (talk) 03:05, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Odysseus1479: I think coloring the non-participating nations with dark grey is perfectly fine. Your suggestion on basing the participation of each nation by the aforementioned list you've mentioned works for me. You're free to make the map as how you see fit.
Done. @Birdienest81: please check it over and let me know if there are any problems. I grouped non-participant colonies &c. with their parent countries, so for example Greenland is silver and St-Pierre-et-Miquelon is gold.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 08:36, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Odysseus1479: Looks good. I wonder though if you could crop out the Antarctica continent and/or the outer board representing the shape of the globe so that it does look like the 2012 map. Otherwise, I placed the map onto the 1984 Summer Olympics medal table. Great work.
- --Birdienest81 (talk) 10:26, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Birdienest81: I had the same idea earlier, and tried to crop it by hacking the code but got, shall we say, unexpected results. (Making the ocean & Antarctica disappear is easy; it’s getting rid of the extra space that I’m finding hard.) I might be able to figure out the coördinates with some more experimenting, though. It would be simple to crop in a graphic editor, but I’d rather leave that as a last resort because it will lose the CSS-editability. (Then again, the original would still be available from the file history.)—Odysseus1479 (talk) 03:24, 3 November 2021 (UTC) P.S. Never mind, figured it out, Done.—05:06, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

- Please help re-upload (as a new file) the historical version of this map without those river names (i.e., please help upload this version).
- The existing version labels those rivers with their historical names, therefore I cannot use them to talk about rivers in the modern China. --173.75.31.249 19:10, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

- I can do a new version starting from geograhpical data. Do you have a source (a shapefile, a geojson) for the rivers? --Sette-quattro (talk) 21:11, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry I don’t … I am not the original author of the map. —173.75.31.249 00:07, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
- Done @173.75.31.249: let me know if it's fine. --Sette-quattro (talk) 19:43, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
- Woohoo! One small icing on the cake: the map currently includes all the natural rivers in China, perhaps w:en:Grand Canal (China) can be included as well? The map looks totally awesome on its own; major rivers & their locations are all accurate. Mentioning this only because you named it "Rivers in China" instead of "Natural Rivers in China". --173.75.31.249 06:08, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, i did not found any geograhpical data (shapefile) of the grand canal. furthermore, i'm not sure if it's a good idea to mix different data sources, but this is a decundary issue. One thing that we could do is to label the rivers in different languages, or at least to number them, what do you think? --Sette-quattro (talk) 08:20, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- Labeling rivers sounds like a good idea to me. We can certainly keep this blank version, and have new files with river labels in different languages built on top of it. Yet this sounds like a large commitment; I don't mean to burden you too much. Please let me know how I may help. -- 173.75.31.249 02:10, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

- The existing location maps of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast United States cover an area much more broad than what is usually considered part of both of those two areas. (see [11] and [12] for reference) This means that it is more likely that location maps that have multiple marks will be difficult to read due to overlap. (Yes, I know that a magnified version wouldn't solve all of the problems in this example, but it would still be useful more broadly.) Therefore, a version of the Northeast map above showing only roughly the area from central Ohio east and northern Virginia north and a version of the Mid-Atlantic map above showing only the area from eastern Massachusetts west, northern North Carolina north, and the Canadian border south would be helpful. –Noha307 (talk) 01:16, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Done Both. I didn't use the second, because it's a PNG, but the first was useable for both. MjolnirPants (talk) 15:25, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- MPants at work, The map for Mid-Atlantic States has clipped Long Island from NYS. I recommend extending the right boundary to include that. Also, it would be helpful to get the extent in lat/long for each so they be can used in a {{Location}} template. Thanks for taking on Noha307 's request. - DutchTreat (talk) 10:30, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- I've added back in Long Island. As for the geo coordinates, those are not embedded in the files, and not formally defined as far as I'm aware. I just looked at it in Google Earth and the mid-Atlantic region is roughly bound at [46.567394,-82.145506],[35.161925,-71.515667]. You can get the coordinates for the first map the same way (the current coordinates of the cursor are shown at the bottom right of the Google Earth viewport pane). MjolnirPants (talk) 13:40, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- MPants at work Yes, thanks for doing this. I appreciate it.
- DutchTreat I considered doing the work myself, but not knowing how to add the location map functionality was one of the things that stopped me. (Another is my limited skill with vector editing programs.) After a bit of looking around, I came across an explanation of the process, so I'll try to take a whack at it when I get a chance. I might be able to add the {{Location}} template you mentioned at the same time, but I'm not sure how this would work with an image depicting an area more broad than just a single point as the template does not appear to be designed for that capability. –Noha307 (talk) 06:00, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
- Noha307 No worries. I will help you turn these into locator maps. Due to my schedule, I'll need a few days to complete. - DutchTreat (talk) 10:29, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
- DutchTreat Thanks! I appreciate the help! I didn't want to leave all the work up to you, so I tried creating modules and documentation pages for the maps (1, 2) based off of the example the image file was based on and I think I got most of it correct. However, what I'm stuck on is that I don't know how to obtain the exact coordinates for the edges of the maps. I was able to get the sample pushpins in the documentation close based on guess and check by slightly adjusting them and then using the page preview, but I'm sure it's slightly off. The USA Northeast map also uses some sort of calculation I am not familiar with to correct for the distortion of the map projection. –Noha307 (talk) 22:09, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- Noha307 Good start! I agree the issue is with the projection needs to correct for a different Coordinate Reference System (CRS). Let me have a look to see if I can fix it. - DutchTreat (talk) 12:55, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
- DutchTreat Did you have any luck correcting the coordinates for the location maps? –Noha307 (talk) 01:03, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Noha307 - Sorry, no progress in learning how to do the CRS transform formulas. I looked the ones for wikipedia:Module:Location_map/data/USA and wikipedia:Module:Location_map/data/USA_Northeast. There appears to be a basic substitution needed, but I'm not sure what that should be. - DutchTreat (talk) 12:11, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- DutchTreat No problem, thanks for trying anyway. –Noha307 (talk) 04:33, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Noha307: I received some background info from User:Sting. I am now thinking it would be best for me to re-draw the map with a equirectangular projection. - DutchTreat (talk) 21:00, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Noha307: Completed two maps using a equirectangular projection Mid-Atlantic states and Northeastearn states. I updated your mod w:Module:Location map/data/USA Mid-Atlantic. I noticed that Dmm1169 on 15 December a new mod w:Module:Location map/data/USA Northeastern. I started a discussion on the talk page to determine which map file to use there. - DutchTreat (talk) 13:30, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
- The file w:Module:Location map/data/USA Northeastern was created for the module. Creating the module is simpler using a Mercator projection map where the borders can be defined by a simple lat/long. It does include [[Mid-Atlantic states so I'd be ok if it's renamed USA Mid-Atlantic and Northeast if that's better.-Dmm1169 (talk) 15:38, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Dmm1169: I agree that a projection that is equirectangular is preferred. I also support two modules: one for Northeast (zoomed in from the current larger one starting in the midwest) like you created and a second module for the middle Atlantic states. My comment was on the module for USA Northweastern. I prefer the SVG map file. Hope that helps clarify my position. - DutchTreat (talk) 14:03, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- DutchTreat, Dmm1169: I appreciate the help guys. Since I understand that pushpin location maps are somewhat falling out of favor anyway, I was going to suggest just dropping the effort due to the complications. Thanks for continuing on.
- I feel like USA Northeast should be renamed – the similarity of the name to USA Northeastern is already confusing me. However, I can't think of a better name as there doesn't seem to be any generally accepted term for the region of the United States it depicts. Any ideas? (Sorry Dutch, I like SpongeBob as much as the next guy, but I don't think "USA Northweastern" is going to work as a title.) The best I can come up with is "Midwest and Northeast".
- Also, should w:Module:Location map/data/USA Northeast (cropped) be deleted? If it is left up I am afraid people might try to use it without knowing it won't display locations accurately. –Noha307 (talk) 20:30, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Maps of USA Northeast # Map Next steps 1 USA Northeast Rename - "USA Midwest and Northeast"
I like Noha307's proposal.2 USA Northeastern Update - swap image from "USA Northeastern.png" to "USA Northeast location map.svg".
The SVG map I created has the following advantages. (a) Uses color coding to clearly define which states are in the region. (b) It uses a scaleable SVG format. (c) Zoomed in to provide better definition.
I'll let community consensus drive the result, since I created this map.3 USA Northeast (cropped) Delete not used as of 2021-12-22.
This map is not needed. Could cause confusion.4 USA Mid-Atlantic No changes
Sorry about the typo for "Northweastern", but glad it provided some unintended humor! - DutchTreat (talk) 11:46, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- @DutchTreat Sorry it took so long, but the image file and associated template and documentation for USA Northeast has been renamed to USA Midwest and Northeast. I haven't had a chance to address the other ones. –Noha307 (talk) 01:30, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

- Request
- Adapt Map 0.2 from The Cambridge History of the Kurds
- Make a standard grey-green location map for the same area as is marked on Map 0.2 on page xxviii of The Cambridge History of the Kurds (Bozarslan, Gunes, & Yadirgi, 2021). The "Map of Kurdish inhabited areas" should be laid over the typical grey-green orthographic projection centred on, say, Jazirat ibn ʿUmar (Turkish: Cizre). Versions with and without international borders would both be useful. GPinkerton (talk) 20:54, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

- Hi @GPinkerton: , what you are requesting is really complex. Orthographic maps are generated using existing shapefiles (the format to encode geographical locations).
Converting an image into a shapefile is quite complex. You could do it using QGIS, but it's not a simple task. to be honest I haven't seen other historical maps represented with orthogonal projection. Sette-quattro (talk) 12:40, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- Hi @GPinkerton: , i've done it. It has been a really complex task but I learnt lots of stuff. All the metadata must be added. Let me know what do you think and in case mark it as done Sette-quattro (talk) 18:35, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Sette-quattro: Hi thanks so much for doing this! I'm very impressed. Would it be possible to make a version without the white political borders? Additionally, it would also be great to have a flat map of the same area (did you make a new shapefile for the highlighted areas?) such a map would be good to have for the making the details of the region more visible. GPinkerton (talk) 01:55, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- Sure, as soon as I have time. I don't know if there are established practices on how to share on commons shapefiles, i'd like to do so. I can upload a newer version without political boundaries.
- I can also produce a mercator projection (flat map) of the area. should I add or not political boundaries?
- Best --Sette-quattro (talk) 08:35, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Sette-quattro: Political boundaries would be most useful, though a version without could also be helpful. If the borders are shown, then it would be good if they went over the top of the green area, so as to still be visible there. GPinkerton (talk) 16:48, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- @GPinkerton: I only had time now to add the two versions you requested, please let me know if they are fine. in case mark the section as solved! BestSette-quattro (talk) 14:24, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
