FAQ

What are the sources of your maps?

It depends on the type of map we are talking about. They are usually based on sources from international or national organisations, or they can be based on numbers and sources found on Wikipedia.

The data does not match the map sources or the map is incorrect

In some cases, I can use more than one source and have to choose between the two sources with conflicting data. So the map might not match the source you checked. If the map does not match any of the sources in the file description, it may be really incorrect, because I, Allice, am a person too 😅.

You made a mistake, could you fix the map?

First, I recommend checking the map sources in the file description. The map may have been based on old or conflicting sources, I may not have found enough sources to include some data, the maps might have been based on numbers taken from Wikipedia that are no longer there (or are on broken/dead URLs), or it might include or exclude data depending on the type of definition used (which may vary by country or region). For example, a map of a diaspora might include people who, by definition in your country or region, would not be part of such an ethnic group, but if the sources I found include them, they will be on the map. Some maps of diasporas may include people with ancestry and citizenship of a country, and even if they were not born there they may be included as part of the diaspora. If you have sources that prove I made a mistake or sources that are more recent than the ones I used, you can fix the map with no problems.

May I edit the maps myself? If so, how can I do that?

Sure! But don't forget to include formatted sources for your changes in the file description. If you do not include sources, your changes can be reverted. To edit the map I recommend you to use Inkscape and pay attention to the correct colours for the change you want to make. Do not change the colour scheme as this would require editing every Wikipedia page that uses the file with the legend template. If you use another application instead of Inkscape, it is possible that the map loses quality, gets unformatted and presents bugs. To avoid duplication, do not upload a new version as if it were a new file on Commons, instead, upload a new version of the file (the link to upload correctly is just below the file history section).

May I post your maps and use them for other purposes?

Sure! You don't have to but I ask you to make it clear who created the maps.

Should I update the existing file or upload it as a new file?

Some files have the year of their data in their name, for example: File:2020 UN Human Development Report.svg and File:European countries by GDP nominal per capita (2020).svg. In such cases, it is recommended to upload the file as a new file using the same filename and extension, changing only the year of the data (and keeping the same colour scheme). For example, the updated map of File:European countries by GDP nominal per capita (2020).svg was uploaded as File:European countries by GDP nominal per capita (2021).svg.

Can you change the cartographic projection of your maps?

As per BlankMap-World.svg/Documentation I'm supposed to use cylindrical projections, especially Equirectangular projection or Miller cylindrical projection. I particularly prefer the Miller projection, as in my opinion it doesn't compress the Northern Hemisphere so much. If the Robinson projection is used nevertheless, the map must retain the Earth's elliptical outline to make it clear that it's Robinson and not one of the cylindrical projections. Some of my maps might be using Robinson projection without retaining the Earth's elliptical outline because those maps were made before I knew about these conventions.

Why haven't you created map X yet?

Maybe I have! You can check this Category:Maps of ethnic groups by Allice Hunter to be sure. If I haven't created it yet, there are some explanations. For me, creating a map relies heavily on the availability of sources. In many cases, I'm not able to find enough up-to-date sources and this is one of the explanations why a map has not been made yet. Another reason could be that I haven't thought about creating such a map yet, or it's not high on my priority list. Anyway, you can ask for a specific map on my talk page, and then I'll see if I can find sources to create it.

	Hi Allice, Great job ! Nevertheless I notice a little mistake (or maybe it isn't) on your Anglosphere Map : you colored in blue Martinique which is a french country where mostly french is spoken. Bye! Green Red Black (talk) 10:19, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
