World Rail Gauge Map

Existing rail gauge map

Outdated SVG version
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)
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- There already is File:Rail gauge world.svg, which is an SVG Map, it is just outdated.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)

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)

Cross-sections, Antarctic and Tibet/Himalaya
-
Cross-section/transect comparison of Tibetan Plateau and Antarctica
Article(s): Antarctica
Request:
- 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.

Route of Ontario Highway 6
Article(s): Ontario Highway 6, Ontario Highway 68 (historical designation for the northerly segment)
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.

The current map of the PGO
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)
Article(s): War in Donbass
Request:
- 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.

- @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)

- @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)
- @Goran tek-en: One last thing. If you can, please also reduce the size of the crash marker for the Malaysian aeroplane. It is a little big, at the moment. RGloucester — ☎ 20:58, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
- @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.

- Ok, I'll do it. Maproom (talk) 16:04, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
- Cancel that. I'm sorry, I am not going to do it.
- 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.
- What kind of lunatic creates an SVG file like that? Maproom (talk) 16:26, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
- 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)

- English version please... -- Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 12:41, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
- 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)
- 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!

Graphist opinion(s):
- 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
<tspan sodipodi:role="line" id="tspan7013" x="680.28271" y="353.33661">KHUNDZIA</tspan>

- I have fixed the font width and the "Euphrat". Maproom (talk) 20:31, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
- 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)

Map request for US regions

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 38

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)

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)

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)
- 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Camas pocket gopher. I have shapefile data
We need a distribution map for Camas pocket gopher to move this article up to GA status. Here is IUCN weblink with a map: http://maps.iucnredlist.org/map.html?id=42594 I can also provide the data for the map, which IUCN has released for our purposes. I have it as a .zip containing shapefiles but I don't know how to use these. I can email them if anybody does know how. This should be an easy map. Thank you —Gaff ταλκ 16:59, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

GDP PPPworld share

World share of GDP (PPP) (World Bank, 2011). Source: [1]
Article(s): World economy
Request:
- 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)

A few maps
It is requested that a global map or maps be included in this article to improve its quality. |
Please could anyone update:
- Global Peace Index - the map in the article is actually out of date (created in January)- there was a new report in June: http://www.visionofhumanity.org/#/page/indexes/global-peace-index
EF English Proficiency Index - to 2014 version: http://www.ef.co.uk/epi/
Please could you create a map for:
- Globalization Index (2014) - no map for this year (http://globalization.kof.ethz.ch/), and existing map for this index is out of date
- Legatum Prosperity Index - http://media.prosperity.com/2014/pdf/publications/PI2014Brochure_WEB.pdf
- WJP Rule of Law Index 2014 - http://worldjusticeproject.org/sites/default/files/files/wjp_rule_of_law_index_2014_report.pdf

Update an SVG

Map of International Maritime Organization member states
Article(s): International Maritime Organization
Request:
- 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)
Graphist opinion(s):
- 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. ///EuroCarGT 20:23, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
