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}}.

List of Scheduled Tribes in India

Request

To make states and union territories boundaries more visible. Now it is almost same as for districts.--Kaiyr (talk) 16:30, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr If the base map on Commons:file:Baiga distribution.svg has all the correct borders, you have to check and tell me!

we can use that and make a new svg version of the one you want.

To edit the present png file like you want is hard and for the future a svg version is so much better and easier to edit. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:12, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- My map with tehsil level (subdistrict). Your map in district level. I think it is only differet. You can make this map in this site also http://www.demographie.net/atlas2001/index.html --Kaiyr (talk) 14:06, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Unfortunately, the vast majority of people cannot, because modern web browsers removed support for Adobe Flash many years ago now. Remsense留 14:57, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok. Lets try.--Kaiyr (talk) 16:00, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr That link will not work for me. You have to help me here, I have zero knowledge about different divisions/levels in India.

Have you checked what we have at commons regarding svg maps of India divided, check this category and all of its subcategories to see if you can find a better base map. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:06, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have cheked. Everyting is ok. Kaiyr (talk) 18:12, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request taken by --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC).[reply]
Will be back with a draft. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr I just want you to know I'm working on it but I have also been trying to find a vector map down to tehsils. I have now found a dataset which I'm converting to a usable svg which I can upload as a base map with the three different levels. We can then use that for your request and for future usage. So it will take some more time. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:20, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

.So @Kaiyr I now have a draft for you for the basemap down to tehsils.

----

Those drafts are PNG versions of the original SVG file I'm working in and will upload to commons.

Those drafts are shown for proofreading only.

----

The colors are picked so that they work for most people even with color deficiencies.

So check this basemap and let me know if it will work for you or what to edit, Draft basemap-1. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:48, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr I would need your feedback per above, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:17, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr I haven't got any feedback so now I have uploaded the basemap down to tehsils which can be used to create other maps, as I will use it to do your request here now.

You can find it here Inda states districts tehsils by census 2011.

Please check all the information, also links for wikipedia, wikidata and structured data.

--always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:02, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr I just want you to know I am working on your request. Your source map and the background map I'm using does not line up, also the tehsils are different in those maps and your source map has even smaller divisions in it. All of this makes it rather complex, difficult and circumstantial to create the svg map. But I have gotten a good bit on it and will continue, thanks for your patience. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 10:53, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr

Now I have a Draft-1 for you to check. It was complex to redraw so really really check everything and give me feedback, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:27, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I cant see state borders. Kaiyr (talk) 15:45, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr Please Always ping me, thanks.

New Draft-2 with states. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:44, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr

I haven't heard from you so I uploaded what I had. If you want anything edited just ping me, thanks.

Now you can find it here Commons:file:Percent of scheduled tribes in India-tehsils-census 2011.svg.

Please check all the information, also links for wikipedia, wikidata and structured data.
If you are happy with this please put the code {{re.solved|~~~~}} (without the ".") on this request so it can be archived, thanks. Done

--always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:24, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Goran tek-en Thank you very much. Could you add Andaman&Nicobar if aI upload here or send to you? Can we change per cent to more presice one? 20%, 40%, 60%,80%? Kaiyr (talk) 06:19, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr Didn't see this until now, didn't get any ping, try the actual Ping {{ping|Goran tek-en}} the next time.

Sure we can do that, send me the info I need, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:21, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en:. I have updated png file with 20%, 40%, 60%,80% and added andaman and nicobar islands.--Kaiyr (talk) 10:15, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr

Draft added-1.

If any of the colored areas (other than the islands) has changed you will have to tell me which, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:00, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr I do need your feedback to be able to continue, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:53, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I dont know which tehsils were changed. But I think only several. Kaiyr (talk) 17:19, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pronouns in Schools

Article(s): Parents' Bill of Rights; Policy 713; Transgender rights in Canada; Preferred gender pronoun
Request: Create a map of Canadian provinces with New Brunswick and Saskatchewan in color because they have laws that requires parental consent when students under the age of 16 wish to change their names or pronouns related to gender expression while at school.
Discussion: Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has announced plans that will require parental consent when students under 15 years old. Alberta could be colored in orange (For incoming law) while New Brunswick and Saskatchewan can be colored in red (because its the law of the land).

Are you after a map where only those two provinces are coloured? If so, please suggest a name for it and provide the necessary information for Commons (description, categories and structured data). M.Bitton (talk) 23:44, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can do two of the provinces yes, it could be called Pronouns laws in Canadian Schools By province. I don't know what that means necessary information for Commons (description, categories and structured data). The description could be like the title Pronouns laws in Canadian Schools By province, I don't know what categories or structured data means??? Sorry, can you tell me more.Muaza Husni (talk) 03:42, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Muaza Husni: would it be possible for you to have a go at creating it yourself using this base map and the instructions that go with it? M.Bitton (talk) 16:04, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton: I don't know how to make it, its too complicated. Sorry.Muaza Husni (talk) 15:26, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Muaza Husni: did you read the instructions? If so, which part did you find complicated? M.Bitton (talk) 15:29, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton: Do they have a video that can explain it?, Do I have to download the base map and color it or what? I just don't understnd it. On the the instructions it has on the last section says Provinces and territories and some unique id numbers with it. do I put?, how do I put those unique id numbers on the base map. So many things I don't understand with this. I don't think it would be possible for me creating it myself. I think its better to leave it to a professional. Muaza Husni (talk) 08:56, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Historic map of Haiti

Article(s): Hinche, Louisiana Creole people, Parsley massacre, White Haitians
Request: Vectorise, and replace "Grenzfestlegung 1776" with "Boundary of 1776". It's apparently not an exact translation of the German, but it gets the point across. Note that several letters are overlaid on coastlines; you may have an easier time combining File:Haiti location map.svg and File:Dominican Republic location map.svg, deleting the current boundary, adding the 1776 boundary, and putting some text on. -- Nyttend (talk) 19:46, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion: Note for anyone possibly taking this request, this seems to be a more accurate boundary. – Isochrone (talk) 08:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Philippine Fisheries Management Areas

Png of EEZ, note the extension on the northeast which was made after the Fisheries Management Law not in the external links below.

Article(s): Fisheries management
Request: In 2019 the Philippines divided its waters into 12 "Fisheries Management areas", covering both its territorial waters and its exclusive economic zone. There are some good maps of the original 12 out there eg. and eg., but not to my knowledge one on Wikipedia. I am not even sure we have an svg of the EEZ, the standard image we use is the png above. One interesting note on that png is it includes the Benham Rise, which was annexed after the creation of the FMAs. Supposedly this area got its own FMA, and while I can't find a map of that or the primary legislatoin it likely should be labelled separately, perhaps as "Philippine Rise". An svg would be best due to this, for easy modification of the label. As for the original 12, the legislation is Fisheries Administrative Order 263 which includes the precise borders of all 12 areas by latitude and longitude. CMD (talk) 09:16, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
