Conventions for visa policy maps

Hello, WP:MAPS. I am currently working on the visa policy of Nauru, and I was wondering if there was any conventions on the colors would be? It seems like the other visa policy articles have a lot of different colors, and I just wanted to be correct. Thanks in advance.

Shetland islands

just dropping a quick note here as I was asked to look at this Talk:Shetland#Need_better_map_image - looks like it ought to get a combination of File:Wfm_shetland_map.png and File:Shetland_UK_location_map.svg

Map request

I have added a location map for community development blocks in Birbhum district. I had to use a West Bengal state map as district maps for interactive or any other purpose is not readily available. I have placed the map on Murarai I page under the sub-head Geography. The map is too big. Can I get help of a smaller district map for Birbhum district? Can I get district maps of other districts of West Bengal, later on? Cheers. - Chandan Guha (talk) 12:00, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Map modification request

Three districts of West Bengal have been bifurcated over the past few years. The interactive maps normally used in the Infoboxes on various town and other pages does not show the new districts, as for example the map on the Bardhaman page. Another type of map used in the Infoboxes on the district pages of West Bengal has been updated. Please see - Purba Bardhaman district, Paschim Medinipur district and Jalpaiguri district, for the updated maps. Please modify the standard maps in use. Cheers. - Chandan Guha (talk) 12:14, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

WikiConference North America talk about disputes in OpenStreetMap

In case anyone here is interested, I've proposed a talk at this year's WikiConference North America about OpenStreetMap's policies and practices around content disputes and countervandalism. It seems like a timely topic, considering recent incidents of highly visible map vandalism in English Wikipedia articles. – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 06:43, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
