Olá Rowanwindwhistler! Eu traduzi alguns artigos sobre rios da Nigéria e muitos usam esse mapa. Você podia me ajudar a fazer o svg dele para que eu possa traduzir? Eu não sei fazer zonas listradas como têm nesse mapa. Se soubesse eu faria sozinho.--Renato de carvalho ferreira (talk) 23:09, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- ¡Hola! He creado una versión en SVG que puedes traducir (el texto que se puede cambiar está oculto en una capa, pero en inkscape se puede eliminar el texto falso y cambiar el verdadero). Para hacer el rayado yo lo que suelo hacer es añadirlo a mano al fichero en un editor de texto, de otro mapa que lo tenga (este y este tienen código para hacer un relleno de rayas [busca "pattern"]) y luego en inkscape asignarlo al objeto (aparece como un patrón más una vez añadido el código al SVG). Puedes ver también el nuevo fichero del río, que tiene dos ejemplos sencillos. Fundamentalmente, son cuatro rectángulos girados un cierto ángulo y rellenos de dos colores que se repiten alternativamente. Seguro que hay maneras mejores de hacerlo, pero esta funciona...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 08:54, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Desculpe demorar tanto tempo pra responder. Agradeço imensamente pela ajuda.--Renato de carvalho ferreira (talk) 23:58, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
Desenhos arqueológicos
Olá novamente Rowanwindwhistler! Você já fez alguma desenho vetorial de um esquema arqueológico? Eu tenho prints de alguns esquemas arqueológicos de um sítio do Egito que em breve vou começar a fazer a vetorização e se eu tivesse ajuda seria mais rápido pra colocar no artigo. Como provavelmente os desenhos tem direitos autorais não dá pra simplesmente carregá-los, então vamos ter que fazer nossas versões. Se tiver interesse eu ficaria grato. Alias, eu fiz um mapa que está em Category:Maadi-Buto culture que talvez você queira traduzir. Abraços.--Renato de carvalho ferreira (talk) 05:35, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
- Pues, que recuerde, no, a menos que haya sido una traducción de alguno que ya existiese. No tengo mucho interés, lo siento. De todas formas, aconsejaría comprobar que no hay problema con las fuentes antes de hacer nada, porque si tienen derechos quizá las obras derivadas no las acepten en Commons (no lo sé con seguridad). Un saludo.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 08:21, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
Ghurid dynasty
Hi, I've just noticed to File:DinastíaGúrida1149-1212-fa.svg. This is a wrong map of en:Ghurid dynasty. As the article describes, they conquered Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India, At their zenith. However, they never control western territories including Iran and Iraq. So, please correct the map. Thank you.--Sa.vakilian (talk) 10:10, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- I am afraid you contacted the wrong person. I did not create that map but this one, which is in turn merely a SVG version of the original map. If you have valid sources that prove the map to be wrong, feel free to correct it, as with any Commons media.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 12:33, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

File:DisgregaciónDElCalifatoAbasí-2.svg and File:Désintégration du califat abbasside.svg
Hello.
In File:DisgregaciónDElCalifatoAbasí-2.svg and File:Désintégration du califat abbasside.svg can you remove the de-facto borders within Moldova (Transnistria) and Georgia (Abkhazia and South Ossetia), and include only de-jure borders, just like Serbia, Western Sahara and Cyprus are shown in the same maps?
Thank you.
Maphobbyist (talk) 00:48, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
- Those borders come from the basemap use as background. They are not very relevant in these particular maps, but you may remove them if you like.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 07:45, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
- Unfotunately I don't have any knowledge about editing and uploading SVG files, and live in a country called Turkey where Wikipedia is blocked and banned along with tens of thousands of other (overwhelmingly harmless and non-political) websites and even SVG programs are off limits for downloading in this country. As you are the original uploader of one these maps (and the other is its duplicate), that is why I came to you for help. Maphobbyist (talk) 20:46, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
- Time to change governments then. I did the change for the Spanish map, which is one I made. If some else is interested in the changes they may copy them over to the other maps.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 08:33, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your contribution. (I wish I was as optimistic about a change of government - the light Islamists have taken over the entire country and are glued. They won't leave power democratically, quietly and peacefully.) Maphobbyist (talk) 18:07, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
Działania podczas wojny polsko niemieckiej 1002-1005-pt.svg
Olá Rowanwindwhistler! Eu traduzi seu mapa da Polônia e veja como ele ficou todo bagunçado. O que aconteceu? Tem alguma ideia?--Renato de carvalho ferreira (talk) 06:45, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
- La verdad es que no lo sé, a mí también me pasó con alguno de los mapas originales. Como los ficheros SVG parecen correctos (al menos no dan problemas ni en Inskape ni en Commons cuando se ven como SVG), sospecho que debe ser un problema de la conversión de Commons de SVG a PNG, quizá por los parámetros de las etiquetas de texto (si se crean etiquetas nuevas, no tienen exactamente los mismos parámetros ni en el mismo sitio que las que existen). La solución más sencilla (aunque quizá no la mejor) es crear un capa extra y transformar el texto en trayecto (es lo que hice con alguno de los mapas) y ocultar el texto verdadero. Si no, quizá alguien que sepa más de la estructura de SVG (aquí suelen conocerla) pueda averiguar porqué cambia el texto al convertir el fichero a PNG. Un saludo.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 20:23, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
Do you have any shapefiles or GeoJSON for your maps?
Hi Rowandwindwhistler - love all of your maps. Thanks for your contributions.
I'm working with the WikiMaps group & am looking to build Wikimedia's volume of GIS-based data files for historical maps. Is there any chance you've built some maps in any GIS formats and then converted them to SVG? Or, do you have any georeferenced svg's? Thanks in advance for any help. --Jeffme (talk) 23:43, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- You are welcome. I sometimes use QGIS to generate a basemap that I later modify under inkscape (after exporting it to SVG format). Most of the work is done under inkscape, not QGIS (due to both speed and knowledge of the tool), though, even if the result is less accurate. I might have some maps saved as QGIS projects, but I doubt the main areas will be there, just the background (coasts, rivers, cities...), not the territories or borders (which I usually add as well I can in inkscape, by putting the vector layers on top of the original raster map). If you are interested in any map in particular, let me know and I will check what I have, just in case.
- When I last tried georeferencing old maps some time ago I must say I was a bit frustrated. I did not know how to add points quickly (I do now, that is no longer a problem) and not knowing the projection of the original map made the fitting of the old map onto the vector layers a nightmare. This last drawback remains. As an example, I tried creating a georeferenced version of 450 roman-hunnic-empire 1764x1116.jpg (which seems to use a basemap I have seen in other William R. Shepherd maps as far as I can remember), but try as I may I cannot make a good fit (see here for EPSG: 102031) as I do not know which projection the original map uses.
- If the QGIS project is useful, I could try georeferencing some of the maps, but I would probably need help with identifying the projections. Regards.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 07:57, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
Redraw Map of state religions
Hello, please mark Bangladesh country in green as Bangladesh state religion is Islam. File:Map of state religions.svg--Vivaan65 (talk) 04:08, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hi, please move the w:Maldives dot further east than it is on the current map. 2A02:C7D:3C1A:7300:7DA7:E713:AABB:4E19 18:19, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi. On this map, could you erase the C-shaped area (w:Dadra and Nagar Haveli Union Territory), just west of the source of the Godavari river? It seems odd to retain it without marking all the other states and territories of India. 2A02:C7D:3C1A:7300:7DA7:E713:AABB:4E19 18:11, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
Conquistas muçulmanas
Olá amigo! Você atualizou File:Mohammad adil-Muslim invasion of Syria-3-es.svg e File:Mohammad adil-Muslim invasion of Syria-4-es.svg e agora os mapas são idênticos. Precisa corrigir.--Renato de carvalho ferreira (talk) 02:09, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Do not edit war
Your rename request of File:First Red Guards in Petrograd, fall 1917 palace square.jpg has been declined twice recently (and a lot more often in the past). Stop requesting the rename. Sebari – aka Srittau (talk) 08:30, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Do not use sock puppets to evade a block
Please do not use sock puppets to evade a block. I have unblocked your main account, since your last rename request was actually constructive and I have granted it. But you should have asked on this page for an unblock, instead of just creating a new account. Sebari – aka Srittau (talk) 12:08, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
p.i.a.
Concerning this edit, you might have noticed that the one person refering to you as a p.i.a. (me) is also the only one who agrees with your correct assumption concerning file renaming. I did say, too, later, that I regret calling you a p.i.a. If you require a more formal apology in the original thread, just ask. (Please note that a majority among admins and some prestigious users will be very glad to see the likes of you and me gone, so an ultimatum is counterproductive.) -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 14:15, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
- Apologies taken, no need for further action, we all make mistakes (I more often than others). If the users with special powers (renaming, blocking or any other) prefer to run the project on their own, that is fine with me but I do not intend to carry on putting time for free and then being ill-treated when I am just trying to apply the rules that we have. The very least I can ask for is for those who have made a mistake to say sorry...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 14:24, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
