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)

Broken map, not sure how to fix...

Can someone look into Interstate 70 in Maryland. The map just displays a world map, and I can't figure out how to fix the problem. Thanks! --Jayron 32 15:04, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jayron32, the backend service that powers the maps on Wikipedia, Wikimedia Maps is notoriously buggy and often takes a while to refresh its "cache" and update the map. So, often that's the issue. However in this case, the template was pulling the map data from Wikidata, which didn't contain the OpenStreetMap relation ID that {{maplink}} calls from. I've gone ahead and added that, however it takes 1-2 days for the map to refresh. Hope this helps, and feel free to ask anymore questions. Cheers — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 15:38, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I appreciate the help! --Jayron 32 15:55, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Berrely: Thanks for your help before. The I-70 in Maryland map hasn't updated, and I'm noticing more broken maps, like Hutchinson River Parkway and Interstate 678 and several more. Perhaps something is broken? Is this something that needs to be brought to a larger group? --Jayron 32 16:15, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Checking... — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 16:17, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jayron32 I'm not a technical expert, and have asked some other people if they know what's happening, but as I said above, WM Maps is notoriously buggy. It might be T289346, T285145 or something else, but I really don't know. The best thing to do is just... wait, and purge the cache occasionally to see if anything happens. It's probably not something that we can really control :(. I'll look a bit more and if I can find more information I'll try creating a task on Phab. I've also put a notice on Module talk:Mapframe to see if anyone watching that can find what's happening. — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 16:29, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks anyways. I'm probably even less tech savvy than you in this regard. If the WM Maps system stays broken much longer, I'm going to have to go dig up the old hand-made maps and start putting them back in the articles. I appreciate the usefulness of a dynamic map system, if it works. If it doesn't, then we'll have to go back to the old way. --Jayron 32 16:30, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jayron32 It looks like it's an issue with geoshapes server seemingly T286089. For now you can do something like Interstate 70 where it's using a .map file hosted on the Commons, Data:Interstate 70.map, although you would need to convert the KLM files to JSON. – BrandonXLF (talk) 01:43, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I only understand about 1/2 of those words. I hope the Devs can fix the tech problem with the server. That's probably what we're going to have to wait on. --Jayron 32 11:04, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, there's not really much we can do on wiki. Luckily, the ticket I sent before was merged into T288400, which has a lot more progress and it looks like they were able to trace down the cause of the issue. – BrandonXLF (talk) 18:57, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey folks, I've been noticing related issues where the map appears like a broken image on first view but when you preview an edit, it shows. This is all even after purging the cache. – The Grid (talk) 17:35, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My experience is that it's only happening to articles with a blank instance of {{Maplink-road}}. From there, it's supposed to talk to OSM via Wikidata and display data that way, then T289346 is the ticket we need to follow. That being said, maps that are hosted on Commons or raw GeoJSON data on enwiki have been working fine for me, personally. –Fredddie ™ 01:46, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having the same issue at Shoal Creek, Austin, Texas. {{Maplink-road}} doesn't appear to me to be blank in that article. Meh. I'm not gonna add route maps to articles if they're just going to show a world map... TerraFrost (talk) 21:30, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well now it's showing up. I guess it just took some time! My first map contribution! Woo hoo! lol TerraFrost (talk) 21:54, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed many highways in NY are just showing a world map, New York State Route 840 and New York State Route 3A are examples. Seems to be related. Just mentioning this here. MB 21:49, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request Treaty of London (1915) map

This image contains a fairly accurate depiction of the promised border in Dalmatia, Istria and the Slovene Lands, albeit with few minor discrepancies with written sources (Snežnik Plateau, Krka River tributaries - see here)
This image contains an accurate depcition of the promised division of Tyrol

Article(s): Treaty of London (1915), likely in several other linked articles Mutilated victory etc.
Request: Would it be possible to create a vector map of territories promised to Italy under the 1915 Treaty of London. Currently there is an unsatisfactory solution available (only a part of the area shown - Dalmatia/Istria or Tyrol, not both). Since all these areas are not shown in relation to each other and the rest of Italy, currently available maps (used in the article now) are of limited value. A reliable source for the map is available here at page 32. A blank location map allowing use of pins would be quite satisfactory IMO. Thank you! -- Tomobe03 (talk) 23:54, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]; Just to note, the southern boundary (running NE from Cape Planka) is not precisely defined except that it leaves all tributaries of Krka in the territory ceded to Italy. It occurred to me that it would probably be helpful to point out that the present-day boundary of the Šibenik-Knin County and the Split-Dalmatia County is not far from the watershed line (within 2km E from Cape Planka and similarly not far from sources of Čikola, Cetina etc.). While it is not exact representation of the line determined by the Treaty of London, it would be quite close to accurate on the map of scale showing both Dalmatia and Trentino.; The Snežnik plateau issue is that the treaty says that the boundary goes to the plateau and from the plateau without specifying who controls the plateau or if it is divided (and how). That is the lighter shaded area in the map here and the matter was addressed in 1920 by a separate treaty.--Tomobe03 (talk) 07:44, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion

Just put up a draft - let me know what you think/what I should add/improve. The accuracy isn't as good as I'd like but that's mainly because I couldn't find a more precise open source basemap of world borders around the relevant time. Jcw12 (talk) 10:22, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for taking this up. The map looks nice, but there are couple of issues which could be improved: Specifically, the Italian northeast border (i.e. the area shaded blue) is incorrect as it appears to coincide post WWII borders instead of pre-1914 borders. There is an SVG outline map of those here File:Kingdom of Italy 1870.svg and a bitmap here File:Italy_unification_1815_1870.jpg. The second place for improvement could be the Adriatic coastline and islands, especially since they are mentioned in considerable detail by relevant treaty. There is an SVG map of the coastline and the islands available here File:Adriatic_Sea_Currents_2.svg. I would also suggest you to use another colour for the "unclear" territory and remove the key (and the title on top) from the map. This would allow use of the map on non-English wikis with key added to image caption. Your work so far looks quite impressive!--Tomobe03 (talk) 21:52, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input, I'll get to work on fixing it. Unfortunately I'm in the middle of finals at university so It'll be a little while before I can update it. I'll try get onto it as soon as I have some spare time - might take around a week or so. Thanks again, Jcw12 (talk) 13:34, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just uploaded a version with the changes you mentioned. Different projections made it a bit difficult but I fixed the things you mentioned, also increased the scale a little bit to make the islands clearer. - let me know if I missed anything or you'd like any other changes. Thanks Jcw12 (talk) 14:04, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An orthographic projection of the Earth centered on -10.617562 -109.674952

Hi Wikipedia users,

Being passionate about maps, but a chimp at programming and coding, I would like to request an orthopedic projection of the earth centered on -10.617562, -109.674952. The surrounding continents and landmasses can be the default grey used for other such maps of its kind. If it isn't too much work for someone with experience, the help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mute0O0 (talk • contribs) 02:22, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

German destroyer Z39 service map

Article(s): German destroyer Z39
Request

Hello, I'm currently attempting to get German destroyer Z39 through FAC; a reviewer has suggested a map of the locations it served, for ease of understanding positions relative to each other; if anyone would be willing to put together a map wth the various operations of Z39, I would very much appreciate it. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 07:30, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Iazyges, would you mind providing the locations? — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 09:05, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Berrely: Sure thing; I've also included dates if you want to add them. She was laid down in Kiel, Germany 15 August 1940, stayed there until commissioned 21 August 1943; lays mines in Skagerrak and Kattegat until March 1944, moved to Reval (Estonia) in March 1944; 11 and 12 March 1944 naval bombarded near Narva-Jõesuu (Estonia). 13 to 14 April 1944 laid mines south of Suur Tytärsaari (Finland). 16 to 17 April 1944 laid mines of Vigrund Island in Narva Bay (Estonia). 23 to 24 April 1944 laid mines in Narva Bay. 25 to 26 April 1944 laid mines southwest of Suur Tyärsaari. 23 1944 June bombed while in port in Paldiski (Estonia), travels to Libau from 23 to 29 June; 24 July hit by bomb in Kiel harbor. 28 February 1945 leaves Kiel, heads to Sassnitz (Germany). 5 to 7 April escorts in Bay of Danzig (Poland/Germany). 10 April escorts ships to Warnemünde and Swinemünde. 15 April 1945 escorts ships to Copenhagen. 2 May shells Soviet troops near Oder estuary. 3 May defends bridge on Peene river near Wolgast; 4 May escorts ships to Copenhagen. 8 to 9 May 1945 escorts ships from Hela to Glücksburg. 10 May 1945 decommissioned at Kiel. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 09:25, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Iazyges I might have a go. Would you like it on a topographic map (hillshading) or a political map? — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 17:36, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

File:BLANK in Europe (relief) (-mini map).svg this is what I'd probably use — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 17:42, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Given that political borders changed enormously during the period she served, I'd suggest using the topographical map you provided. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 18:31, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Berrely: Realized I didn't ping you before with my response, any interest in completing this? Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 17:54, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Iazyges I'll try tomorrow, sorry for that wait — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 18:00, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No problem whatsoever. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 23:40, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Iazyges, I am very very sorry for getting back so late. Here is a rough draft [1]. Would it be better to zoom in to Northern Europe? Do you want me to move anything, make corrections, etc? — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 18:21, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

this is what it looks like slightly zoomed in. I might play around with some of the lines to give them better placement. — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 18:22, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Berrely: No problem! It looks good mostly, although the "Oder" point should be moved to the end of the Oder Estuary, near Stettin File:Oder.png, otherwise it looks great! I think the zoomed out version looks best. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 18:25, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Iazyges is this better? Or do you want the pointer to be more north? — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 18:30, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Berrely: It should probably be just to the south-east of Swinoujscie. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 18:33, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Iazyges like this? (apologies if it's very obvious I'm a bit confused as to where the river's centre actually is). If this might help, 1, 2 or 3? — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 18:37, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Berrely: 1 should be best; we aren't perfectly clear on where exactly Z39 was in the Estuary, but she probably wouldn't be able to go further in than 1 without being beached. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 18:41, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Iazyges Ok, I think I've got it (hopefully) — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 18:46, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Berrely: Looks great! Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 18:47, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, the map so far is at File:German destroyer Z39 map.svg. I am aware there is some transparency around the borders but I have to pop out now, and I'll try to fix it tomorrow. Sorry :( — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 18:57, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Berrely: Any news? Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 20:08, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Iazyges I have no idea why it's doing this weird border thing, I'll try to fix it. I'll update you if I manage to do so. — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 09:15, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Iazyges, I seem to have fixed it. Is there anything else you need on the map? — Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 09:31, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Berrely: Nope, that's great! Thank you! Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 15:57, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Oroscopa is at FAC and it has been suggested that the information on the second map - File:Carthage location 2.png - which is just the position of Carthage, could be transferred to a version of the first map - File:Map of kingdom of numidia ancient algeria (cropped).png - and the location of Rome added. In an ideal world the map would also be tidied up a little to look more professional and in a perfect world, shading added to show territory controlled by Carthage and Rome. Thanks.

Russia-Ukraine conflict

Article: Russo-Ukrainian War

Request: Hi can anyone rise to the challenge of making a map for the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. We have many maps of territorial changes in the east over the month-years, but nothing detailed in English that gives an overview of the operation in Crimea and the situation in East. I have compiled some map resources that might be of use in making those maps.

Maps of Crimea: We could use an English map with some level of detail regarding the Feb-March 2014 invasion,

On commons: Maps of Crimea with Administrative outline, with major Cities/transport.
Possible reference: non English detail map, simplified maps with EN labels one, two, three, four. And Rough map of Russian operation.

Maps of East of Ukraine: We could use a map of the situation on the eve of conflict on April-ish 2014

On commons: Maps of Ukraine with Administrative outline, complete
Possible reference: Russo-Ukrainian Force dispositions on Feb 2014, a subset of that would be ideal but possibly too big of challenge to create, greatly simplified map idea, and another from 2016 Crimea escalation.

Thanks. --Jakey222 (talk) 14:52, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request taken by --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:52, 10 October 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Extended content

@Jakey222: Thanks for putting in information so we have something to work from.

I will take this but I will need your help and knowledge all the way.
To start with we have to decide which area the map should cover, would it be Krim with some space around or should it be a larger area? Bigger area means harder to depict details. I'm not sure if you mean the whole conflict or specifically Krim.
Are elevations important for the map?
I will start on a base map depending on your answers to above, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:52, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en: Thank you for taking the project!

I am hopping for two maps, one for each of the main regions/sections: #Crimea and #Donbas.
In Crimea, Russia capitalized the uncertainty and was able to takeover fast without resistance. I think here a "battle-map", low level overview, that focus only on Crimea would be best. In similar fashion to the current non-English map, with as much detail you can put in without getting it cluttered. --Jakey222 (talk) 18:37, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In East Ukraine, we already have maps for specific battles and changes in territorial possessions in Donbas region. What we lack is higher level overview of the situation on the eve of conflict that shows all of Ukraine borders. In July, when armed conflict broke in Donbas, Russia wasn't yet engaged conventionally, however, its troop build up on Ukraine border ~2,000km is important part of understanding the dynamic the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

I linked to this thread on the article talk page, hopefully other interested parties (like @Mzajac:) will have further input. --Jakey222 (talk) 18:37, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jakey222: I'm a graphic worker and I have zero knowledge (or almost) on this subject, I don't make research or read a lot of text. What I need is detailed explanations or preferable images showing me which areas you are looking for.

I made this map before Minsk Protocol II, is that the area for Donbas map?
Is this the area for Krim map?
If they are not I would need you to show me some screen prints or similar of the different areas. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 21:05, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en: The Minsk protocol map is perfectly focused on the part of Donbas area that is currently under insurgent control.

The Crimea map, should be focused more on the peninsula. Maybe something like this, markers represent the farthest points of interest to the north and east. However, most map I seen do not include the extended portion with port city of Novorossiysk.
For the wider overview map of troop build up on borders the area covered by this map is perfect. It has place to include Russia troops in on the eastern border, Crimea and Transnistria.--Jakey222 (talk) 02:19, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Everything discussed here looks fine. I suggest developing a list of items to include on each map based on some overview or overviews in reliable sources that are not maps, or based on a “consensus” of three or more of the example maps—that way there can be no suspicion of copying one of them. —Michael Z. 04:35, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jakey222:, @Mzajac: Yes please create lists of what to put in the maps. I need that information straight on, not a lot of contexed text, it only makes me confused. When you answer my questions please just stay to the actual question.

I will start with the Crimea base map, is elevations, rivers, roads of importance. Tell what yo want in it.

This is not wikipedia, at commons there are different "rules" regarding sources and stuff like that but we don't have to prove that something is true, but we need to show where we got the information from. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:40, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There’s another bare-bones map of Crimea in Galeotti 2019, p 10. —Michael Z. 16:00, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en: The list of locations would depends on the style of map and level of detail you are aiming for. The first reference map I linked above outlines pretty well all the location that has been mentioned in media and various articles here. Here is another one(source,p11) and list of all the location you might use with their spelling on Wikipedia:

Checkpoints: Armyansk, Chonhar
Various: Simferopol, Sevastopol, Kerch, Dzhankoi, Yalta, Strilkove
Air bases: Belbek, Gvardeyskaya, Novofedorivka, Kirovske (air base), and Yevpatoria
Naval bases: Chornomorske, Novoozerne(Donuzlav Bay), Feodosia - Russian Novorossiysk
Military bases: Bakhchysarai, Balaklava

Note: marker for Donuzlav Bay should probably be used instead of Novoozerne (as the location for the blockade of the Ukrainian fleet in Donuzlav) and I seen no info on the precise location of Checkpoints except that they are near Armyansk, Chonhar. @Mzajac: Do you have any preference/sources/concerns about which location are due for inclusion? --Jakey222 (talk) 17:06, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jakey222: The level of details and type of map is really up to you, it's your request. Tell me what you want, style, level of details etc. I will need that info pretty soon, thanks.

I would always need the original links for maps or other that we use, not just from an area where you show the image. If it's from a book I would need name, author, page it's on. This goes for everything we use here. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:39, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en: Personally, I prefer more detail, however, I don't want this map to get cluttered and hard to read, especially since Russo-Ukrainian War is a top level summary article. I think that the main mods of transport, the two checkpoints, the major cities and ports (in Various) must be marked, otherwise, the more of the bases and other detail you can add the merrier. I seen that some maps are able to simplify various aspects through use of icons/colors/graphic but that's map making voodoo to me, if you can make it happen do it.
i'll make sure to post open sources along with the maps, tell me if missed anything.--Jakey222 (talk) 21:13, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Mzajac: any thought on the style of the map? I recon that some maps used full dates everywhere, simplified dates somewhere, color coding for week 1/2 everywhere, simplified follow chart with a lot of text on the map (source, p7), just locations, or.. Any thoughts? --Jakey222 (talk) 21:13, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jakey222: We are talking about two different things here. Right now, as I said before, I'm working on the base map. That is the map without any of the stuff regarding the war. So I will put in what I think you mean and then we can add or remove as the work progress. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 21:47, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds Good, and sorry I am clueless about the process.--Jakey222 (talk) 00:10, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jakey222 This draft is a PNG version of the original SVG file I'm working in and will upload to commons. This is mainly the base map and the stuff you asked for above. Texts, symbols etc are just in temporary positions. I can't finalize it until everything is in there.

You should check so the information you want is there and in the right position, cities, roads etc. Tell me if to add, change or remove.
Kirovske airbase. I market it but I couldn't see any airfield there.
Some of the places is hard to define their border, depending on what you are looking at, check Balaklava.
Dzhankoi, is that not also an air base?
Novofedorivka, whose air base, blue/red?
Armyansk, Chonhar, whose checkpoints, blue/red?
crimea-1. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:16, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Goran tek-en Wow, that looks amazing and SVG?! beside spoiling us, you'd probably be able to use this quality 'base map' for other things in Crimea.

There was no bridge between Crimea and Russia in 2014. I believe the opposite goes for the cut rail connection near Armiansk and Chonar, probably ::::::service was disconnected due to the conflict.
Kirovske airbase is located to south 45.16747145775519, 35.18335383448832
Dzhankoi - looks like it, I thought it was a civil airport there.
Novofedorivka - Ukranian
Armyansk, Chonhar - Russian.
Might as well add Perevalne and remove Gvardeyskaya. --Jakey222 (talk) 21:24, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jakey222

Dzhankoi, should I mark it, according to https://community.apan.org/wg/tradoc-g2/fmso/m/fmso-monographs/197162?
I removed the bridge and some roads, railroads. It's hard to find any good maps showing 2014 so with your knowledge you have to tell what else to change. Maybe roads have change it's importance etc.
I added the island instead of the bridge and added it to Crimea land. Is this correct or did it belong to Russia before this?

I believe its just the two small railroad bits in the north that are missing, where the current border is. Here is map from 2014 on commons that might help.
Dzhankoi - yes.
Tuzla Island was administered by Ukraine. --Jakey222 (talk) 16:56, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jakey222 crimea-3. Are heights, forest and similar relevant for you? If not and this is fine then we can move on tho the battles. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:11, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jakey222 Can you check post above so we can continue. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:52, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't believe that heights and forests would add anything meaningful the this campaign. The map is fine.
The bases are the essentially the "battles", so the question is if you want to add extra layer that would highlight the progress of the campaign and how todo so (posted few ideas above with datas/arrow), otherwise we should at least make the locations font bigger to make it more readable, I think.
I'm terrible sorry I left you hanging for last few days, i got train wrecked by packed weekend. --Jakey222 (talk) 15:50, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jakey222 Sorry, didn't mean to push you. If you need more time, no problem.

It's all up to what you need, but I did think you wanted troop movements, battle lines, troop info etc.
You will have to tell what to add as there are many sources and they all show different stuff, there is no way I know which to add. I'm sorry but you will have to be pretty specific in describing what and where if you don't have a map I can look on. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:08, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Goran tek-en There aren't any battle lines or battles, just the bases. The map linked before mainly attempt to convey the sense of progression of Russia capturing them.

Copy paste from above: "I recon that some maps used full dates everywhere, simplified dates somewhere, color coding for week 1/2 everywhere, simplified follow chart with a lot of text on the map (source, p7)" - I am fond of the last one.
The non-English map has much more details about specific units that were utilized, but I do not have a source with this level of detail.--Jakey222 (talk) 23:02, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
