The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps. This specific page is the requests page for the Map workshop. Anyone can make a request for a map to be created or improved for a Wikipedia article. The standard format for making a request is shown below, along with general advice, and should be followed.
You are encouraged to share information and request advice from others. Also see possible conventions toolbox, map tutorials and topographic map tutorials.
Advice to requesters
What do we do?
Location maps
Area maps (animals, languages, empires, etc.)
Historical and conflict related maps
Battle maps
Technical maps (archaeology, city closeups, etc.)
Sourced requests: If possible, please try to provide a reliable source to create a map. This includes a map already on Wikipedia with a reliable source or an external link.
Please check: Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed.
Direct collaboration: Some mapmakers are especially interested by one topic area. If you notice a mapmaker fitting your needs, consider asking on their personal talk page to request maps.
{{Reqmap}}: To request a map, you can also tag the talk page of the article in need of a map with or {{Reqmapin|Australia}} (articles then appear in Category:Wikipedia requested maps)
If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.
Advice to Graphists
If you have completed work and not received a reply you may use the {{GL Map reply}} template to inform the requester.
Map makers and other visitors to the Graphics Lab may be interested in the RSS feed of changes to this page. You may find it here.
It would be great if this map could be made into an SVG using the world base map I suggest or some other base map. It would make it easier to zoom in on smaller countries. -- grenグレン15:05, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The current map (File:World.distribution.amphisbaenia.1.png) is inaccurate, showing, among other things that amphisbaenas occur in Madagascar, in a different area of the Arabian Peninsula from their actual range, and missing their range in Asia Minor. The second page of this article contains an accurate map of Amphisbaenia distribution and I'd like to request that a new map be made for this article based on it. Note that the article has different colors for each Family within the group, and that the range of Amphisbaenia is the aggregate of those ranges. It might also be worthwhile to make a distribution map for each family to be included in the respective articles on those taxa. Cheers! Peter G Werner (talk) 03:01, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Need a plain, black & white PNG version of this map

Request:
User Soman asked in the Illustration workshop for help on an Indian election map. Because I run my os on a 486, my computer cannot handle images of that size. Can someone give him a hand? Preferably by making a SVG-map of the data provided by him. Or if he doesn't want that, a png-file (emptied of the results of 2009) of the SVG-file already posted here.

It would be great to have a map comparing the heights of the Tibetan Plateau and the Antarctic, to scale (obviously the vertical scale will have to be much larger than the horizontal scale, but the same scales for both locations). The height of Antarctica is really important to the regional circulation and other features, and it would be great to have a vivid visualization of how tall it is. A N-S transect for Himalaya/Tibetan Plateau, and a 90W-90E one for Antarctica, would work well.
The individual cross-sections, seperately, would make useful and informative images in their own rights, and encourage people to modify them to present geological and biozone information.
Showing the under-ice ground surface is nice, but not essential. See the metadata of the image on the right for a data source.

I created about 67 maps of each European Parliament constituency (see Category:European_Parliament_constituencies), but after uploading them I realized there are 2 mistakes: Liechtenstein was mistakenly added, and French Southern/Antarctic Territory is not part of the electoral process. Both areas should be grey (Like the good example above). I already corrected all of them once when I changed the Irish constituencies, and I don't have the time to do all of 'em again.

Need improvement for a map in my sandbox before article creation
Movement of Abu Muslim's Abbasid loyalists against the Umayyad Empire
Currently, the Abbasid Revolution is just a redirect to the Umayyad Caliphate. I am working hard on turning the subsection in that article into a full fledged article in my sandbox. The problem is that the image looks a bit amateurish. Also, Umayyad is commonly spelled with a "U," not an "O." -- MezzoMezzo (talk) 11:36, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The map linked above is out of date by a bit. A more modern, updated map is on the Justice Department's website. Both maps are PD-USGov, but both are of poor quality.

I'd be interested in a similar map that also includes Westchester County, Rockland County, and the rest of Long Island, if that's not too difficult. The amount of detail that is shown on the existing NYC location map (roads, mainly) is not necessarily needed. And now that I think of it, perhaps the New Jersey and Connecticut areas of the tri-state area could be included in the 'lit' portion of the map, if the mapmaker sees fit.

Could you make stripes on the attached map as stripes here?: Autonomy territories in Guizhou.png But strips must be equal width and flat.

Request:
I'd like to request, if possible, an updated version of this map. There are two issues here; one is for improved compliance with contemporary visual and file formatting (SVG instead of PNG) standards for maps on Wikipedia, and the other is that while I hadn't previously noticed this, it's just been brought to my attention that the original creator, User:Earl Andrew, erroneously reversed the names of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, and thus the map contains a serious error in its current form. (I had previously corrected it for the fact that he had also mislabelled the northern terminus of the highway, but somehow the lake error evaded my notice at the time and I've never really gone back to analyze it much since then.) Thanks for anyone who can assist with this. For the record, it is not critical that the updated map replicate every municipal boundary that the existing one delineates through the entire province — the route of the highway itself is the critical feature here.
Bearcat To start with it would be great if you used the "New Request link" at the top of the page as that gives us all the code and the information we need to proceed the work on your request, so please do this all over again. Thanks --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:20, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Will do. But in truth, I was fully expecting there to be one and couldn't find it anywhere the first time. I see it now that you've told me that there is one, but could you guys please consider making it more visible and less easy to overlook? Bearcat (talk) 18:23, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Currently there is only a somewhat atrocious map for the PGO. I quite like this map of the Oregon Country https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Oregoncountry2.png but it needs a little work. I ideally would like something to reflect both the political divisions of the PGO along with some additional Euro-American settlements through out the Oregon Country. Some additional pioneer towns should be added, like Champoeg and Portland. Astoria should be renamed to Fort George, despite not being actively used by the Hudson's Bay Company at this time. Additionally, could Fort Boise be added? The missions of Tshimakain, Waiilatpu, Lapwai and Wascopam would be excellent as well. This gives a rough idea to the location of the interior missions. http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/brochures/1947/whmi/images/fig3.jpg
As the Donbass war is progressing, it has become clear that we will need good maps to demonstrate the progression of the conflict from a historical perspective. Whilst reading The Economist, I came across this exceptional map. Is it possible that someone here could make a free version of this map? It would be perfect for our purposes at War in Donbass.

Graphist opinion(s):
RGloucester It would be great if you used the "New request" link at the top of this page because then all the code we need will be created. Do that and ping me and I will take it and start working on it as I said before, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:54, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en: The point of the map I requested is to show the events from a historical perspective, i.e. show the movements over time, as suggested by the Economist map. The present map is constantly updated, and hence doesn't show the progression of the conflict. I'd be quite happy if you'd like to work on it. RGloucester — ☎16:17, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'd really like a version of The Economist map (including the note about Malaysia Airlines Flight 17), perhaps with one new line showing the present demarcation of territory. It does an excellent job at depicting the region and the conflict. RGloucester — ☎16:19, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@RGloucester: Now there is a draft for you to look at. Give me feedback on it and tell me honestly what you think and what you want changed. You are the one who knows what you want, I'm the tool to make it happens. One thing I'm not sure about is the North-South direction as it differs in different maps, maybe you know. --Goran tek-en (talk) 12:47, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en: Excellent! First thing I'd suggest is changing the blue for the 18 June area to something lighter, so that the text is easier to read. Also, it would be best to remove the "th" from "18th" June, as our MoS says not to use "18th June", but instead, "18 June". Next, I'd suggest you replace "rebel" with "insurgent", as that's the one word we've settled on at the article. Thirdly, a more readable font, perhaps a nice sans-serif like you used here, would be much better. The last thing I'd request is that you add one more "colour" for the insurgent-held area, showing the results of the August Novoazovsk offensive. I.e. show the extent of insurgent-held territory as shown in this map. RGloucester — ☎18:44, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@RGloucester: The font I use is Liberation Sans and that is for BOTH of the maps even the one you link to, this is the preferred one. Sans is generally preferred to sans serifs for screen. How a font renders is something which is a bit tricky and I'm not sure I totally can control that. At this link screen you can see how the map you linked to renders for me at commons, this is a bitmap so it has no font in it. How it renders at commons is NOT the same how it renders when you look at a draft at my private links.
Following the implementation of the Local Government Reform Act 2014 in the Republic of Ireland, a number of changes were made to local councils in the state. The changes are:
I had assumed that each number in the map, e.g. "34" for Donegal, would be created by a short piece of SVG with the string "34" in it. It isn't. Each digit in the map, such as the "4" in that "34", is created by 4 lines, over 400 characters, of SVG (that "4" is created by lines 435-428). And I have no way to find which lines create which character, except trial and error.
Do you understand the concept of pathed text? And how easy it is to replace it with raw text? This is the second time I've seen your comments about how complex it is to deal with pathed text and your response is to go with a raster equivalent. All you have to do is select the pathed text, hit delete and replace with the raw text with a font that Wikimedia recognises, such as Liberation Sans. It's not rocket science yet you make it sound that it is. Completing this request took about me about 20 minutes to sort. Hardly the complicated job you described. May I suggest that if you don't know how to deal with vector artwork at such a very basic level, then maybe these workshops aren't for you? -- A very naughty Boy! --64.9.157.170 (talk) 18:41, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. I've no clue about svg or png files, which is why I came here, so I can't comment on the original creator's work. Thanks again for the png file. Snappy (talk) 20:13, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Córdoba
Partly translated, all text is now text, and all groups and layers named for better organisation. Someone else can complete the translation!
Like the SVG map of Ireland above, this image does not contain any text, what you see as text is just graphics. So the easiest way to make an English version would be to convert it to a bitmap, delete the "text", including where it overlies rivers, borders, etc., patch up the damaged rivers etc., and then add the English. It will be very difficult. Maproom (talk) 13:27, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like a very awkward way of doing things, especially when it's easy to delete the existing text paths and replace them with raw text. I even went to the trouble of naming every path and organising all the different groups. It should be simple for someone with better language and history skills than I to complete the translation. -- A very naughty Boy!
On second look, Hong Kong is already in green, but the dot is so small and thus it is extremely hard to see given the color contrast (Gibraltar is easier to see given it is in red).
This is much easier to handle than the Córdoba SVG above. It actually contains the text as text so it can easily be edited, e.g. the name "KHUNDZIA" is created by
That's because you are using the Futura font and Wikimedia doesn't support that font (it's not that common on Windows machines either, so most people won't be able to see it the way you intend). The renderer replaces all (English) sans-serif fonts with Liberation Sans (a freeware, open source font that is freely available on the net) so you will have much better control over text placing if you use that font, complete with pixel sizes rather than point sizes, eg "12px" rather than "12pt". FYI, Wikimedia uses Liberation Serif for serif fonts such as Times New Roman. Deja Vu Sans is also another free alternative used by Wikimedia. By the way, your file isn't a true SVG as it has a dirty great 4.5Mb PNG encapsulated in it with the text as an SVG overlay. That isn't an ideal way of using SVG and is classed as a "BadSVG" on Commons.--207.207.22.67 (talk) 10:07, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would like some regional maps. I have added maps of Final Four locations to pages such as NCAA_Women's_Division_I_Basketball_Championship I would like to extend to cover not just Final Four, but all venues. However, it will be too crowded on a single US maps, so I thought I would use three maps, one roughly west of Mississippi, one east of Mississippi excluding roughly New England, and one of New England plus NY, PA, NJ, and DE.
I can handle the coloring of a map in Inkscape, but I do not know how to create the map with the state and country outlines. I can handle the creation of the location map module (I haven't dealt with conic projection, which I think I can ignore on the Northeast map, I will have to figure it out or get some handholding on the other two.
Following are the geographical boundaries of the three desired maps:
West

25
South and Midwest
48
-93 -75

As I've been working on extensively expanding the Raven Tales article which is about they cultural stories of Indians in the north west, it's become apparent that the geography of each tribe and the relation of them to each other is significant to the stories. Reading the stories there is significant detail which describes the geography. I think it would be very interesting to compose a map which displays each of the tribes that have stories of Raven... to see the geographic comparison. Going even further it would be awesome to attempt to plot the journeys of Raven through all of the stories but this may be a very intensive endeavor to take on.
I've added extensive references to the Raven Tales article where you can get access to the original stories if you'd like to start taking a look. Thanks. I found this image [3] which should help as well. -- David Condrey (talk) 20:08, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The borders on the rest of the map don't look draw-y because they are precise. They can be precise because they represent something real and well-defined. The borders of the territories of the proposed "Greater Mongolia" were never defined, and it would feel dishonest to draw them as precise. How would it be if someone made them greyer, or invisible, just leaving the pink patches? Unfortunately the pink patches don't quite border Mongolia, so there would be an annoying and incorrect gap. Maproom (talk) 21:48, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's specious-Altai, Tuva, Buryatia and Inner Mongolia, all already labeled on the map, have well-defined borders, and do border Mongolia without any gap. It is a disservice to Wikipedia to have a map up that looks like it was sketched out in MSPaint of an afternoon.

The two images are therefore different. The second image reflects essentially the number of cases and deaths per country. This second image is already in svg and can therefore be easily updated (and also translated into several languages, I have done it for Spanish), the first one not.

Hi, I am hoping that someone would be able to create a map to be used in the above article to illustrate the French defensive positions and certain key towns and villages associated with the invasion. At present there is no map to support the article, and the creation of such would vastly benefit the article and help the reader pinpoint the various locations mentioned in the text.
I only have access to an e-copy of the below source and the low-res map contained on 174. I have uploaded several copies, including a zoomed in version (if it helps any), and one clearly marking the various French positions as highlighted in the accompanying key. If possible, could the map show the elevations (not clearly shown on the map), the 27 French defensive areas (per the key and highlighted), as well as the following key towns and villages: Briançon, Montgenèvre (not shown on the map, but located just to the east of Briançon), and Menton. If possible, could the Italian and French divisions also be included to show the general disposition of both sides?

Hi, the lead map in the Infobox at Three Gorges Dam is presently completely useless for indicating where the dam is located. It shows the boundaries of an internal region of China that will be unrecognisable to 99% of English Wikipedia readers. It contains no indication of scale and no clue of where this region is located relative to the country as a whole. (This problem is widespread within Wikipedia. Almost all these "location within local administrative area" maps are useless as lead images.) Would it be possible for someone to create a map that shows the location within a recognisable context, either of China as a whole, or at least the eastern part showing some coastline and well-known cities?

I don't know how to do that ... when I change the map file name I get a bunch of errors that I don't understand. However, when I make the map the size that it would be in the Infobox it becomes illegible, so it wouldn't work anyway. 109.147.188.227 (talk) 20:29, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed — You can change the location_* fields under

to
| location_map = China (equirectangular)
| location_map_size = 200px
| location_map_caption = Location in China

| location_map = China
| location_map_size = 200px
| location_map_caption = Location in China
Though there was a Do not move to Commons tag, Kohelet had already copied it to Commons, and I thought it would be better to fix the mistake on the Commons copy.
The article needs a location map of Spain and France together. Currently the article has two separate maps, but it would look much better if there was just one map. If it could have the Basque Country (greater region) shaded darker, or a different colour such as Blue that would be really useful, but that is not essential.

I was hoping someone could modify this French map for Wikiprojects related to the Pacific Northwest. The issue with the map is it isn't terribly accurate for the area disputed between the UK and the US prior the 1846 Oregon Treaty. The Americans consistently for decades claimed the portion of Vancouver Island south of the 49th parallel. A different coloured line following the area at times claimed by both nations, modern Western Washington state and most of British Columbia would beneficial. The second map at least gives an idea for the course of the continental divide and the more extensive American claim of 54'40. The French language itself isn't an issue for me, given it is SVG.

Wolf range update
Range map to be modified (the new African range should be in green).
I don't even understand the map. It should depict Shares of World GDP, but in what way? Please clean this up as to make it understandable at first sight. I have no idea how at the moment, but (sorry for the harsh words) at the moment it seems that any other way would make it clearer. Thank you.... -- Lommes (talk) 14:47, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
According to the article, the IMO's newest member state is Zambia, but Zambia's still marked as a nonmember on the map. Please change its color to reflect its membership. PS, the article says that Niger isn't a member, but it's marked as a member on the map; switching its colors would also help. For bonus points, add South Sudan (nonmember), although that would probably take a good deal of extra work. -- Nyttend (talk) 14:03, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it, however after uploading the file, I see no difference so it may have been an issue with the code or I'm just not looking properly. ///EuroCarGT20:23, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
