Nutria range map

Article(s)
Nutria
Request
Current nutria range map seems to be outdated as its source is from 2005. The best modern source I've found is this one: [1]. Maybe 'potential current distribution' can be added in a different colour? Artem.G (talk) 20:48, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Image's request under progression Request taken by M.Bitton (talk) 19:45, 14 April 2023 (UTC).
 Done @Artem.G: M.Bitton (talk) 15:06, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
hey, thanks! I've checked the iucn website, and under geographical details there are these countries:
Extant & Introduced (resident) Austria; Belgium; Czechia; Denmark; France (France (mainland)); Germany; Greece (Greece (mainland)); Hungary; Italy (Italy (mainland)); Netherlands; Norway; Poland; Romania; Spain (Spain (mainland)); Sweden; Switzerland; United Kingdom
Extant & Introduced Japan; United States
Can you please add them to the map? Artem.G (talk) 15:17, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by adding them or how that could be achieved, as simply adding the countries (without a range) would be misleading at best (probably the reason they are not shown on their map). M.Bitton (talk) 15:22, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
I understand that concern, but current map can is also misleading because it shows the range to be only in South America, while there is a lot of data and observations saying otherwise. I'll try to find another source that gives an introduced range. Artem.G (talk) 16:49, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
One possible way to do it would be to highlight the countries and add a note explaining that it's been introduced there, something like:
  Countries where is has been introduced
Let me know if that works for you. M.Bitton (talk) 17:10, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
Yeah, I think it'll work! The other good source I've found is this article [2], but it's not a good idea to mix sources for a map, so your solution is better. Artem.G (talk) 19:12, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Bee Branch Creek (Iowa)

I want a map of the course of the Bee Branch. I previously had one but I screwed up on the copyright and the owner stopped responding to me. The USGS [4] has a decent course till a detention basin where it goes underground. Afterwards, it has not been updated to include the daylighted segments. There are still sections of the Bee Branch that have not been daylighted and I am unsure how that section would be executed.

Recreate white arrows similar to ones in this copyrighted image onto one map, so the current illustration can be replaced. I'm having difficulties making proper curved arrows in Inkscape, so I'd appreciate a lot if someone else was up to this. ^^ –Vipz (talk) 04:30, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Discussion

Image's request under progression Request taken by M.Bitton (talk) 14:14, 16 March 2023 (UTC).

@Vipz: to avoid overwriting the used map, here's what I suggest you do:

1) create a new svg file (arrows.svg) using the following:

<svg width="1064.7" height="771.03" version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
    <defs>
        <marker id="a" overflow="visible" orient="auto">
            <path d="M-1.926-1.21 1.352-.005l-3.278 1.206a2.05 2.05 0 0 0 0-2.411z" fill="#fff" stroke="none"/>
        </marker>
    </defs>
    <rect width="1064.7" height="771.03" style="fill:none;stroke-width:1;stroke:#000" />
    <g id="arrows" fill="none" stroke="#fff" stroke-miterlimit="0" stroke-width="20">
        <path d="m674.37 529.9 82.412-131.97" marker-end="url(#a)"/>
        <path d="M711.51 159.42c89.897 68.683 74.406 123.04 35.103 179.55" marker-end="url(#a)"/>
    </g>
</svg>

2) open the target map in inkscape, create a new layer and import arrows.svg into it.

3) after aligning the two maps, delete the rectangle with a black border (used solely for the alignment).

4) using the node tool, click on the arrows to see the handles that will allow you to adjust the arrows however you wish.

If for whatever reason the above doesn't work or you simply don't want to go through the hassle of doing it, upload the map under a new name and I will happily overwrite it with the one that you're after (it's ready and will only take seconds to upload). M.Bitton (talk) 23:14, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I think I will be able to do with this, but later down the day. I'll notify you if I happen to have further problems or requests/questions. –Vipz (talk) 09:02, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Discussion

Image's request under progression Request taken by Dragon401k (talk) 17:40, 4 May 2023 (UTC).

@Artem.G I updated the first map with information from the IAU membership page (Note that Mongolia is still an interim member-- you have to click on the national member's page to see whether they're a full member, interim or observer [9]). I also changed the colors to be colorblind friendly, and replaced the basemap with the most up-to-date version of the Blank World Map, which is human-editable plain text-- this should make it easier to update in the future. Note that any wiki articles which added separate color legends will need to be updated to reflect the new colors.
You requested the second map be updated to include suspended members in grey, but I'm not sure that's helpful. Right now, it only includes full members. If it were to include suspended members, it would make sense to include interim and observer members as well, and then at that point it's just a clone of the first map. How would you feel about updating it to be up-to-date with the most recent base map, but still only including full national members? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragon401k (talkcontribs) 18:35, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
You're right, let's keep it simple. I just thought that it can be useful because suspended members are still mentioned on the official site, but simplicity is better. And thanks a lot for the first map, looks good! Artem.G (talk) 18:44, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Interactive maps

I have been working on rebuilding the Flemington Racecourse railway line and Williamstown railway line articles. Two requests:

  • The Flemington Racecourse article doesn't have an interactive map- can someone please create one and add it in?
  • Also, the Williamstown article does have an interactive map but for some reason it doesn't display correctly- can someone please fix this?

I need these two requests to be fulfilled so I can nominate the two articles for Good Article status. Thanks in advance for all the help. HoHo3143 (talk) 03:11, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Discussion

These interactive maps are created by calling the railway line's Wikidata ID, which has geodata associated with it. It looks like in the case of the Melbourne railway network lines, the geodata is associated with the Freebase ID. (This is just an inference on my part, I could be totally wrong, but I can't figure out where else the geodata word be stored, as its not in any of the other properties).

The Williamstown article was calling a wikidata ID for Williamstown that didn't have a Freebase ID attached, Williamstown railway line (Q8021313). I was able to fix the map by having it call Williamstown (Q55509933) instead.

Flemington Racecourse railway line (Q5458622) has a Freebase ID, but for whatever reason, it doesn't show up when I try to create an interactive map that calls it, so I'm not sure what to do there. Maybe someone else has a better idea? Dragon401k (talk) 15:58, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

@Dragon401k thanks for the help. For the Williamstown line, the map only shows part of the line- is this supposed to be this way? If it is displaying "correctly", could you make the map longer so it makes its way into the cbd (use the map on the Werribee line as a reference)
Also thanks for looking into the FR line. Hopefully someone else can help out. HoHo3143 (talk) 01:40, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
I've finished another article and am waiting on these two maps to nominate these two articles- could someone help please? HoHo3143 (talk) 11:52, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
Another user has now fixed the Williamstown article interactive map so the only one needed now is the Flemington Racecourse. HoHo3143 (talk) 01:42, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
I've been able to figure out how to add in and fix the diagram. Thanks for the help that has been given.
