Graphist opinion(s):

Using the SVG that map file was derived from would be better. I find it a little odd that it's not just a clipped region from the SVG file. gringer (talk) 21:39, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, on further observation, that map won't do. The administrative boundaries aren't detailed enough for the election boundaries. gringer (talk) 12:44, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
To demonstrate that, I've extracted out the relevant portion of the locator map and coloured regions as close as possible to the boundaries in the external image (using 4-colour colours plus two more taken from the locator conventions). gringer (talk) 13:12, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Historic map of Arabia

Article(s): Saudi Arabia,History of Saudi Arabia

Request: The labeling on the map is very small (and can't be read even in History of Saudi Arabia where it's 350px, can they be made bigger to be more readable? The only labels that need to be made bigger are the ones in the main blue area, the green area (labeled Hejaz) on Red sea coast, and the yellow area (labled upper Asir) in the bottom left. There seems to be plenty of space to do it. The other labels in the other areas are not relevant to the articles so can stay small. The other thing is there are dates under the label written in a strange way with year and month running into each other eg "192207". Can they be changed to eg "07/1922" or, preferably, if there is enough room "July 1922" DeCausa (talk) 09:15, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Create a few well-illustrated and catchy maps of the battle. Ideally, 4 maps would be needed (see below). Alexandru Demian (talk) 16:38, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am currently preparing a major expansion of the article about the battle of Wagram. I need a few well-illustrated and complete maps, such as the one you have made for the battle of Gebora. Ideally, four maps would be needed:

  • 1. one map showing operations on 5 July: the French crossing of the Danube
  • 2. one map showing operations on 5 July: the evening attacks.
  • 3. one map showing the early operations on 6 July
  • 4. one map showing the French attacks and Austrian retreat late on 6 July.

Some good maps are available here. There are also some very reliable and well illustrated maps of the battle in Ian Castle's "Aspern & Wagram 1809: Mighty Clash Of Empires".--Alexandru Demian (talk) 16:38, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you could make two maps that show the routes plus borders of the countries in the early Ancient Greek world it would really be great. Please note that the location of the island Panchaea is up to you - it's a fictional island - but it is likely that those who told the myth of Myrrha imagined it to be around the place where I've put it.

Thanks for the reply; I had not understood what you've pointed out. I've substituted this cropped image at the article, but it's quite pixelated (the cropped image is just 132x123), so it would still be desirable to replace it with an image with the appropriate resolution to be viewed at this closeness. Surely we have a high enough resolution generic world/region map to provide better than 132x123 of this region? Wareh (talk) 14:48, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]


French Departments

General question - would it be possible to produce maps of all the French Departments for use in articles relating to France, in a similar way to those of the British counties. Compare the infobox in Lympne Airport to that of Saint-Inglevert Airfield and you will see why this would be desirable. Maybe Pas-de-Calais could be created first as an exercise to see whether this would be possible. Mjroots (talk) 07:11, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like they are already in progress by the French wikipedia, see Location maps of France, if you want a specific one you may try asking at the French version of this page. Kmusser (talk) 14:18, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My French isn't that good! I tried replacing the pushpin map France with Pas-de-Calais but that only produced an error on preview. Mjroots (talk) 10:21, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No one has made a Pas-de-Calais location template yet, and ideally the Pas-de-Calais location map still needs to be SVGified, it looks like they are working on them on the French wikipedia, but not all the departments are done yet. I don't understand the template syntax well enough to write one, but here is one for a different Department. Kmusser (talk) 01:15, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Borders of future Principlity of Albania, proposed by the Provisional Government of Albania in 1913

Article(s): Albanian Vilayet, Provisional Government of Albania and Principality of Albania

Request: Please create a map with borders of future Principlity of Albania, proposed by the Provisional Government of Albania in 1913. There is a map on the page number 20 in the book of Kostandin Cerkezi, "Albania, Past and Present"Antidiskriminator (talk) 18:30, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have created this one based on this map [[3]], it sounds much more neutral than Cerkezi [[4]]. Tell me your suggestions about it.Alexikoua (talk) 09:52, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
First, I would like to thank you for your efforts. I really appreciate it. I also think that Cerkezi is not a neutral source. It is interesting that the map he drawn is much different than map you provided. Please find my suggestions below:
  • In the source section of the image you provided, there is only a link to some web site without details of the source (title of the work, author,...). Are there more details about the source you used?
  • It would be good to have some legend explaining what is what, i.e. in the left corner of the image
  • The line of the northern frontier fixed by Ambassadors Conference and Boudary Commission 1912-1914 is not drawn according to the source you provided. In the source it goes only downwards after leaving Montenegrin border before reaching Greece
  • Towns like Peć, Đakovica, Prizren and all other present in the original source's map should be present in the image too. Not only because it is more informative that way, but because it looks much nicer.
  • The image would look nicer without thick black and grey lines that are not necessary since there are different colors of the areas proposed by different sides, provided that area of Albania proposed by Russia and France is presented in different color.

That is all for now. Once again, thank you very much for your assistance.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 16:12, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The map is sourced from the United States of America Department of State, National Archives College Park, so I feel it's the best we have. Tell me if something still needs to be fixed.Alexikoua (talk) 21:28, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Byzantine-Bulgarian wars 893-927

Article(s): Byzantine-Bulgarian Wars, Battle of Boulgarophygon, Battle of Achelous (917), Simeon I of Bulgaria, Treaty of 927 (when created)

Request: I have created a very rough and ugly map of how I approximately imagine it. The sources are two maps of Atlas of History [5] and [6] (the second is not very clear). The hachures to the west notify the Principality of Serbia which was annexed between 924 and 931; those to the south mark the territorial extension at Byzantine expense in 904 therefore the first black line is the border when Simeon I became ruler in 893; the second one - in 904. The dotted line marks the temporary military border between 913 and 927; while the red line is the border as it was agreed by the peace treaty in 927 and which stayed unchanged until 971.

I am not sure I have cropped the very best base map; you can use another one if it would be better. In my ugly map, I have put the main cities which should be placed in the map. I think that such a map will be useful to illustrate the border changes of that important episode of the Byzantine-Bulgarian war. Regards, Gligan (talk) 16:51, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Malaysian map

    Slightly better, but not perfect positioning

Article(s): Malaysia

Request: Is it possible to make Malaysia located more centrally? I've tried contacting a couple of people who appear to have made these sorts of maps before, but haven't got a response. Something rotated slightly more towards the west than the Indonesian one would be perfect. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 14:48, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Map remake

  • Tornado watch frequency map
    Tornado watch frequency map
  • Severe thunderstorm watch frequency map
    Severe thunderstorm watch frequency map

Article(s): Tornado watch for the former, Severe thunderstorm watch for the latter

Request: I didn't notice this at the time these files were made (refer to this previous GL request), but the county borders are way off from what they are supposed to be. Compare for example the Kansas and Oklahoma county borders (especially Osage County, Oklahoma and Wabaunsee County, Kansas. The borders seem to be generalized, making the counties misshapen. If possible, could someone please remake these maps with better county borders? I will supply the data used to create the maps in .csv format the same as I did with the previous request, so any graphists who take this request will need to email me so I can reply with the data. Thanks in advance, and there will be a barnstar awaiting a job well done. Ks0stm (T•C•G) 03:00, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Political division, Administrative division

Request: Blank maps with second-level divisions are useful beyond the two articles in question, but the Lambert cylindrical projection creates an unpleasant shape distortion at the poles (e.g. the third and fourth images). The Robinson projection is superior in this aspect (e.g. the first and second images). If it becomes desirable to create maps with third-level, fourth-level, etc. divisions (as in the fourth image), I feel that they should be created and maintained separately, so that all are available, rather than just the most extensive level of subdivisions. Subdivisions of a country should be grouped so that an entire country can be easily filled. If individual subdivisions need to be filled, then the user can ungroup them. The same goes for smaller subdivisions. There should be some way to visually distinguish second-level subdivisions from first-level subdivisions (unlike the third image). I prefer that subdivisions have thinner outlines than the country they pertain to (e.g. the second image) rather than giving them different outline colors (e.g. the fourth image), but the community may disagree with me on this point. Note that there is a python script available for manipulating the first image that may be useful for this project. Just to be clear, I want the new map to be based on the first image; the other three are only provided for reference and/or comparison. Ninjatacoshell (talk) 16:10, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Label Errors in Caribbean Map

  • Map of the Caribbean with various label problems
    Map of the Caribbean with various label problems

Articles: Caribbean, Caribbean Sea, Antilles, Battle of the Caribbean, Central banks and currencies of the Caribbean, List of islands in the Caribbean, many others

Request: If you look closely at this map, you will see that many of the place labels have been partially or completely cut off. The problem is most pronounced with Haiti---the country is labeled "ITI", Cap-Haitien has lost its first word, and the label for Port-au-Prince is missing completely. Havana, Cuba has also lost its label, and there are probably other errors I haven't noticed. Apparently any text overlapping the sea was cut off when the image was created. These errors need to be fixed. 69.140.242.23 (talk) 22:23, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Caracas, Venezuela is also missing its label. It may not matter that some capital cities are unlabeled, since this map seems to be intended mainly to show the countries and islands of the Caribbean, but the labels that are only half missing are actually conveying false information. 69.140.242.23 (talk) 22:30, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
