;Article(s):
: [[Bettws]]
;Request:
: [[Bettws]] is a [[WP:DAB|disambiguation page]] and I thought it would be helpful to include a map of Wales graphically showing all the "Bettws"s - [http://www.darrinward.com/lat-long/?id=364320 something like this]. Each pin point should probably be labeled with the unambiguous names, or at the very least numbered to correspond with the table that exists at the dab page now. It would be really cool if links to the appropriate wikipedia articles could be mapped to the image too. Unfortunately this may mean a rather large image. Finally (and I know this is asking a lot), if it's possible to verify that these locations are actually referred to as "Bettws" or "Betws" per [[WP:PTM]] that would be a big help for this American. Thanks you! -- [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] ([[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk]]) 19:32, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
;Graphist opinion(s):
*{{tping|Hoof Hearted}} At the moment there appear to be 13 "live" articles for Bettws, plus another two if you want the rugby and football team marked. The template {{tl|Location map many}} currently has a limit of nine locations. I don't know if this number can be increased or whether it's a framework/lua restriction. {{u|Jackmcbarn}} will know the answer to that question.

*:Try {{tlx|Location map+}} which can enclose any number of {{tlx|Location map~}}. Essentially, {{tlx|Location map+}} is the base map with no points marked; {{tlx|Location map~}} overlays a point on that. You can see it in action at [[2014–15 Premier League#Teams]] which has 15 red dots; 14 have links, one (London) does not because six teams share one dot. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 12:20, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
*:{{ping|Hoof Hearted|Philg88}} Actually, the documentation is wrong for {{tl|Location map many}}. It supports an unlimited number of points now that it uses Lua. Both it and the solution Redrose64 mentioned will work. [[User:Jackmcbarn|Jackmcbarn]] ([[User talk:Jackmcbarn|talk]]) 16:13, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

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?
  • 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)

World Rail Gauge Map

Article(s): List of track gauges, Track gauge in Europe, etc.

Request:

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]

Graphist opinion(s):

There already is File:Rail gauge world.svg, which is an SVG Map, it is just outdated. If I find the time tomorrow, I will update it. If someone else is fast, be my guest... --DLommes (talk) 21:03, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Amphisbaenia range map

Article(s): Amphisbaenia

Request:

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]

Graphist opinion(s):

The external link given above gives me a "File not found" message. But this link works. Maproom (talk) 06:42, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It no longer works, it gives a blank pdf file. And the original link still gives a 404. Maproom (talk) 13:53, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Map of ongoing armed conflicts

Request:

Shading Egypt in red while adding China, the Koreas and Paraguay in orange. Consensus can be found on Rybec's and Greyshark's talk page. The graphists can check the article's discussion as well for more information. -- Fitzcarmalan (talk) 21:07, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Request help for someone else

Article(s): Various

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.

Uploaders opinion(s):

By chance I have seen this request. I have created the map on the right, from which the left one is derived. There already exists a blank png map of the Indian constituencies: File:Lok Sabha constituencies of India.png. What does User Soman want to do ? --Furfur (talk) 08:45, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cross-sections, Antarctic and Tibet/Himalaya

Article(s): Antarctica

Request:

Documented data source
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.

2014 EP constituency maps fix

Article(s): Multiple

Request: 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.

Chorley political boundaries.

Need improvement for a map in my sandbox before article creation

Article(s): User:MezzoMezzo/sandbox

Request:

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]
To be exact, could somebody just take this and then add the arrows and sphere of influence to it, but in a more professional-looking way? MezzoMezzo (talk) 11:11, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For any graphists interested in helping, the article has now been moved from my sandbox to main space at Abbasid Revolution. MezzoMezzo (talk) 05:43, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Pan-Mongolism map

Article(s): Pan-Mongolism

Request:

add the Yellow region on the second map (Zungharian Basin) as a pink region on the first map. I have a source which shows that Pan-Mongolists included Dzungaria as part of their territory.

Note that we do not necesarily need to use the first map as a template, you can find another generic map of asia (Mongolia, China, and Russia), with the proper subdivisions, and start it over again. . -- Rajmaan (talk) 21:09, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

DEA Field Divisions

Article(s): Drug Enforcement Administration

Request:

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'm hoping one of you skilled volunteers can make a US map with the DEA divisions properly included from the Justice Department source. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Rainbow Gathering#List_of_Gatherings

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Gathering#List_of_Gatherings has 4 sections.

I'd particularly love to see a map of "United States Annual Rainbow Gatherings". The article lists the national forest (except for the first year - national park) and state of the gathering. A map would be a valuable addition. As would 4 - one map for each of the 4 sections. --76.216.6.136 (talk) 06:40, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Metro New York City location map

Article(s): State University of New York

Request:

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. Thanks —Akrabbimtalk 20:00, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Guizhou

Article(s): Guizhou

Request:

Could you make stripes on the attached map as stripes here?: Autonomy territories in Guizhou.png But strips must be equal width and flat. Stripes for autonomous counties must be thinner than for autonomous prefectures.

Oregon Country request

Articles(s): Provisional Government of Oregon

Request:

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

For the districts and later counties of the PGO, the initial four and their boundaries are described here. http://books.google.com/books?id=C2YUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA8#v=onepage&f=false The PGO pressed the claim of rule up to border of Russian Alaska at 54° 40, yet didn't have any control north of the Columbia. In 1845 the PGO and Hudson's Bay Company came to an agreement, with the district of Vancouver created comprising the entirety of the lands north of the Columbia. http://books.google.com/books?id=pNcwAQAAMAAJ&lpg=PA43&ots=cGXLEb6_Wn&dq=Oregon%20Acts%20and%20Laws%20for%20August%201845&pg=PA22#v=onepage&q&f=false I don't know how to best express the control of the PGO over areas in the Oregon Country as its authority scarcely left the settler towns and farms of the Willamette Valley and leave that to any willing mapmaker. If anyone is willing to help me, I and WikiProject Oregon would be in your debt! Voltaire's Vaquero (talk) 18:01, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Commonwealth Games – Hong Kong

Article(s): Commonwealth Games

Request:

Hong Kong used to compete in the Commonwealth Games, so it should be colored green. See Hong Kong at the Commonwealth Games. Chanheigeorge (talk) 16:53, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
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).

Graphist opinion(s):

I have enlarged Hong Kong from one green pixel to five. Maproom (talk) 16:38, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

EU flag map of Ukraine

Request:

Can someone upload an SVG file of EU flag map of Ukraine without Crimea titling it " Ukraine EU (without Crimea)". This map should exist just like there is a map of Serbia with and without Kosovo. -- KronosLine (talk) 07:09, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Map request for US regions

Article NCAA_Women's_Division_I_Basketball_Championship

Request:

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

   50
-126 -89
   25

South and Midwest

   48
-93   -75
   24

Northeast

   48
-81   -66

Request: I would like a map of California, marking the regions used by WikiProject Stub Sorting for the split of Category:California geography stubs - see Category:California geography stubs#California county geography stubs for a precise list of which county is in which area.

Location maps spanning two or more countries

Hello, I need a couple location maps spanning multiple countries; precisely one of them should be representing France, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and the other both Australia and New Zealand. Their purpose is to indicate the cities that hosted the Rugby World Cups 1987, 1991, 1999 and 2007 which took place in more than one country.

Local Government of Ireland

Article(s): Local government in the Republic of Ireland, NUTS of the Republic of Ireland.


Request:

The local government boundaries of Ireland underwent some changes on 3 June 2014-

-Waterford City Council and Waterford County Council have merged.

-Limerick City Council and Limerick County Council have also merged.

-North Tipperary County Council and South Tipperary County Council have also now merged.

So would someone please change the above map to reflect that.

Native American Indian Tribes - Raven Stories

Article(s): Raven Tales

Request:

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]

County Tipperary and Waterford City

Article(s): Every article these maps are already on.

Request:

On 3 June 2014, The Local Government Reform Act 2014 merged North Tipperary and South Tipperary into a single county called Tipperary, and also merged together Waterford City Council and Waterford County Council. So would someone please remove the border between North and South Tipperary and the border of Waterford City on all the above maps.

-Snow Lion Fenian-

Graphist opinion(s):

Maybe you are all set with Commons:Category:SVG locator maps of administrative counties in Ireland (location map scheme)? It incorporates the recent changes in Ireland. It features a different graphical approach, though. (There's clearly too much green when it comes to Ireland) Besides the different color, I don't show Northern Ireland's administrative borders, 'cause it's a different country (some folks don't get that straight ;-). "Your" maps above also show historic borders for Nothern Ireland, which annoys me the the most. For modern NI borders check out Commons:Category:SVG locator maps of districts in Northern Ireland (location map scheme). --TUBS (talk) 09:50, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In addition: afaik, Limerick city and the respective county merged. These (hard to spot) borders were also removed. --TUBS (talk) 17:24, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Would any editor here be able to generate either a bitmap or vector map of Europe extrapolated to the full A-Z Ordnance Survey National Grid so that most of the top-left figure in File:Ordnance Survey National Grid.svg needn't be blank, please?

Please make added borders less draw-y, match the rest of map... -- Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 15:28, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

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 options are improve the map or seek to have it deleted, not another halfway stopgap map that doesn't address the earlier issue.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 11:36, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Map of the Little Maginot Line aka the Alpine Line

Article(s): Italian invasion of France (possibly the Alpine Line and List of Alpine Line ouvrages articles)

Request: 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?

I have been unable to find any additional maps showing the French defensive positions, but would be willing to provide any other assistance as needed. Regards -- EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 23:32, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Pacific Northwest boundary dispute

Article(s): Oregon boundary dispute Oregon Country

Request:

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.

@EnigmaMcmxc: I'm not sure what you are looking for but now there is a draft on one of the maps for you to look at. In some areas of the map there is a lot of information so it gets crowded. Have a look and tell me what you want, what to change and so on, you are the one with the knowledge of this subject and you know what you are looking for. Draft to look at and give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:51, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much. Excellent work so far. Can the location of the Alpine unit be moved? It needing to go to the bottom left of the map to match the original. Would it also be possible to change the background colour, for me it just doesn't work (although I would not have any suggestions other than perhaps a green?). In addition, "arc" at the top of map is the Arc River (L'Arc on Google Maps), which runs across the top of the map. Could this be amended to state such per the other rivers on the map? I was unable, for the moment, to find what "Kiv" stands for or what it is suppose to represent. As mentioned, the Arc - per Google - runs across the top of the map. For now, could Kiv be removed?
While there is a lot of information on the map, it now being in colour makes it much easier to read (not to mention its free, whereas the original I do not think would hold up if scrutinized). The shaded area on the map, next to the lake poses an issue for me. I do not know what it is suppose to represent on the original map. The staging area for the 11th Division? For ease of reading, this may need to go too.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 23:45, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The map is based on an article that was translated from Russian. Some French and Italian placenames got garbled. "Kiv" is just a typo for "Riv", as in river. Note that "Cemschia" should be "Val Cenischia". The "Ribbon" is actually the Ribon; "Sollierés" should be Sollières; "Le Plenet" should be Le Planay; "Ft Balm" should be Ft de la Balme; "Giazette" is the Col des Lacs Giaset; and Étache has an acute accent. The solid and dashed orange lines (in your rendition) are roads. The line you show as a black-and-white dashed line is the border.
The shaded area represents the 11th Infantry Division Brennero held in reserve. Srnec (talk) 01:54, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @EnigmaMcmxc: We who create maps here try to follow map guidlines so that all of the maps looks more or less the same. In that way it's much easier for the viewers to understand and take in the information, for this reason we use a template Maps_template and it has three different colors for land so with the new information from Srnec I have made some changes.
  • I also think that the area next to the lake is the area of the 11th Inf Div and with the new information I kept it. If it still should be removed just tell me.
  •  Question: I have added some information in the legend but you should check so that the dashed orange lines really is rods in tunnels or tell me what it is? Now when I started the second map I think the dashed orange lines maybe just minor roads? They are too long and many to be tunnels I think. Get back to me on that, thanks.
  • @Srnec: You wrote "The "Ribbon" is actually the Ribon" but I can't find that word.  Question: Where is it?
  • Now there is a new draft to look at, give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:14, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree that the dashed lines are probably not tunnels. I suspect they are unpaved or seasonal roads. The "Ribbon" river is the torrent du Ribon, a mountain stream. Also, since col is just French for "pass", Col des Lacs Giaset Pass is redundant. "Lacs Giaset pass" will do.
  • On the other map... Solage should be Seloge, Seign should be Seigne, Les Chapieu should be Les Chapieux, what looks like Setz is Séez, Rocher Pass is the Rocher Blanc Pass to be precise, and Moûtiers has a circumflex. The "Trieste Division" and the "Motorized Division" are the same division: the 101st Motorised Division Trieste. The big arrow pointing at Albertville represents the goal of the offensive and not a troop movement. The map does not have a compass rose, but I think it is oriented with north at top. Hope this helps. Srnec (talk) 20:40, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@EnigmaMcmxc:@Srnec: Thanks for the feedback and information it helps me a lot. Now there are two new drafts to look at and give me feedback on.
Italian_offensive_Mont_Cenis
Italian_offensive_Bourg_Saint-Maurice There is one pass "Traversette Pass" that I can see the name for but not the actual pass.  Question: Do any of you know where it should be? --Goran tek-en (talk) 20:44, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The colouring of the glaciers seems a little off. Isn't it supposed to be the same as the country/background?
In the Bourg St Maurice map, the small blue arrow pointing southeast just below the small permanent fort is, I believe, supposed to represent the action of a regiment passing through the Col de la Traversette to attack the fort there from the rear. (Maybe the permanent fort indicated on the original map is supposed to be that fort, in which case it or the arrow is wrongly placed. So I'll assume it is not.) The fort they were trying to outflank was the Redoute Ruinée (ruined before 1940 and still ruined now) and if you look it up on Google Maps you'll see how it and the Col de la Traversette relate, and how they are approximately in the location to which that little arrow points. It has approximately a north–south orientation.
Thanks for doing this. Srnec (talk) 04:35, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The glaciers have a weak tone of white in them, it's the same on both maps. It's more viible on the "Italy" country color. If you don't want it on either map tell me, but I think it's more understandable/visible like that.
I did look up Redoute Ruinée on google maps but Col de la Traversette is more than 5 hours drive from there what I can see so is that really the same?
If you have a link which shows this better or if you make a sketch or something I will edit but right now I don't know what to do?
I did an edit but I'm not sure it's correct. Look at Italian_offensive_Bourg_Saint-Maurice and give me feedback. Maybe you have to reload to get the new one.
How is the "Mont_Cenis" map, is it correct now? --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:48, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I should have explained better. There is another Col de la Traversette that is far away. That's why I suggested googling Redoute Ruinée. The Traversette pass that we're looking for is at 45.657551, 6.877360. You'll see it pretty clearly—and its relationship to the fort and the Little St Bernard—in Google Earth. I'd show it as a north–south pass to which that little arrow is pointing. The Mont Cenis map looks fine to me. Srnec (talk) 18:24, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@EnigmaMcmxc: @Srnec: Thanks for your help both of you! You guys should check the files for description, categories and so on.

Below is how the map looks in the current 2014–15 A-League season.
Template:A-League 2014-2015 map
Each A-League season's pages contain a map with icons showing the geographical locations of the teams in the A-League. I have no issues about aligning these myself, the only problem I'm having is that they appear quite cramped around the Sydney region where there are currently four teams (which could extend to as many as six soon). I think this would look a lot better with an inset on the map magnifying Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra; or even just around Sydney and Canberra, with the inset perhaps placed in the blank top right area of the map above New Zealand.
Perhaps we could even utilise a slightly larger map? I'm pretty flexible. Whatever you guys think would look best. -- J man708 (talk) 23:36, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I want to add a neighborhood map for Mount Vernon Triangle. (something similar to File:Dupont Circle Map.pdf or File:Dupontmap.png) I don't know how to do this. The boundaries of the neighborhood can be seen here and here. It's 7th Street NW on the west, New York Avenue NW on the north, New Jersey Avenue NW on the east and Massachusetts Avenue NW on the south. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Image's request under progression Request taken by Gaff (talk) 05:17, 6 January 2015 (UTC). I will upload something. It may not be perfect, but it will be a start. Gaff (talk) 05:17, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay: I have a map, which is available with a CC 2.0 free license from OpenStreetMap. I mapped out the neighborhood and the link is here. There are features that you can tweak, to change the background map, to include less or more detail. It can also be scaled. The download feature is stuck right now, due to too high a load on the server. @AgnosticPreachersKid:: Is this enough information to get you going? More experienced cartographers might do a a better job with this. There are similar maps of the DC neighborhoods here on Commons. They have templates with appropriate licensing. If you are stuck, I can try again later to download the map, but if you can do it yourself, it might be easier for you to customize. Hope that this is somehow helpful.

Hold on: I got the download to work. I will prep the mpa and upload shortly. Gaff (talk) 05:30, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How is this? It can probably be cropped and somebody smarter than me might be able to get rid of the Safeway shopping cart. Gaff (talk) 07:12, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
