Simple map(s) of Finnish Defence Forces Areas of Responsibility from early 1950s[edit]

Article(s): en:User:Ljleppan/Polttoainehankinta

Request
(Moved from Commons:File requests)
I'm not certain what the best source map would be, but I'd appreciate a Commons-compatible version of the map of Figure 6 (page 37) of this PDF (also accessible via this link) for the draft currently at en:User:Ljleppan/Polttoainehankinta. In addition to the Areas of Responsibility, it would be good to show the locations of en:Helsinki, en:Porkkala and a few of the larger cities (Perhaps en:Turku, en:Vaasa, en:Oulu, en:Rovaniemi and en:Ivalo if possible without sacrificing legibility?).
I'd also greatly appreciate Commons-version of the map(s) in Figure 5 (page 31) of the same PDF, but that's less of a priority.

13 Colonies map into US English[edit]

Article(s): en:Thirteen Colonies, en:United States, en:European colonization of the Americas, en:British colonization of the Americas, en:United Colonies,

Request
Could someone make a version of this map in US English?
The idea is to have a good map in English of the Thirteen Colonies as they existed in 1775 before the US Declaration of Independence: a map that is not anachronistic—that is, a map that doesn't show boundaries of US states that did not exist at the time. إيان (talk) 23:30, 2 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Puerto Rico[edit]

Article(s): Hawaiʻi on Wiktionary; A lot

Request
I suggest adding Puerto Rico to the United States, unless it's not part of the United States.
Puerto Rico is part of the United States. People wonder why many Americans don't know it- well there's your answer. Just because "(US50)" appears in the title doesn't change how this image is actually used- see Hawaiʻi on Wiktionary. The caption there reads: "Hawaii in respect to the rest of the United States". You're giving people a stupid map that would need to be presented in a qualified way, and then that map is being used to imply that this is a map of the whole USA. You now get to choose whether WMF will continue to deceptively imply that Puerto Rico is somehow not part of the United States. Don't bring your decolonization ideological stuff at me when Russia still has Siberia and China has Tibet. As if! Yes Puerto Rico has got a special status. But they voted to become a state a few years ago (it wasn't accepted by the US Congress yet, this is just a fact that tends to discredit any "decolonization" ideological silliness). So Yes, it's the USA. Get off your high horse and show the people the full United States. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 22:26, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
  • There are locator maps of Puerto Rico within the United States, similar to the above locator map of Hawaii. Take a look at the following maps:
  • Also, you should not blame WMF for ignoring Puerto Rico as part of the US. It is generally not shown along with the 50 states and the federal district as US overseas territories are excluded from most maps. There's no "decolonization" ideology whatsoever on this matter, just a matter of convention. --Sbb1413 (he) (talkcontribs) 16:52, 15 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Geographyinitiative: Sbb1413 (he) (talkcontribs) 15:51, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Pardon me, my comment above is a little bit intense! All I mean is that I feel that 1) if Puerto Rico appears on a map, 2) and the map does not show Puerto Rico as part of the USA, 3) then there should be a good reason, or a specific purpose for that map, rather than as a general map "of the USA". Hence I renew my request for the update to that map showing Hawai'i without showing Puerto Rico as part of the USA. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 16:16, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Map of Republic of Mahabad by William L. Eagleton[edit]

Request
Hi. I found out the map linked above is copyrighted, but it is useful and has educational value because it is different version of Category:Maps of the Republic of Mahabad. It would be nice if someone can reproduce a map based on that so that we don't lose it.

This is the source this file is derived from:

  • William L. Eagleton (1963), The Kurdish Republic of 1946. Oxford University Press. Map III, page 127.

This is the original caption of the file:

  • "The Boundries of the Kurdish Republic, Sites of Battles, and the route of the Barzanis retreating to the USSR."

More on the context: w:Iran crisis of 1946, w:Republic of Mahabad

ethnic and linguistic maps of the Caucasus[edit]

Article(s): [[]]

Request
Please update these maps due to the w:flight of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians. Initially, it would be better to mark this area as uninhabited, because according to the UN there are between 50 and 1,000 people left.

The second thing is to add a "spot" of Greeks near the city of w:Yessentuki to the first map. --Swiãtopôłk (talk) 16:44, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

All of Nagorno-Karabakh and the striped areas around it, need to be colored in striped green and white, because almost all Armenians fled the region in September/October 2023, but has still not been populated by Azerbaijani civilians in the striped areas, after Azerbaijan gained it in late 2020. The whole region is patrolled by Azerbaijani troops and police, who are the only human presence, hence why the whole region needs to be colored both in green and white stripes, rather than just in green or just in white. --Multituberculata (talk) 20:54, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

4 maps of Cuban municipalities with colouring pbms for islands[edit]

Article(s): fr:Morón (Cuba), fr:Esmeralda (Cuba), fr:Nuevitas, fr:Bolivia (Cuba) (all already in use)

Request
Hello you people who do such wonderful work, can you please help with that one ? The pbms are with the colouring of the islands (red, yellow, or absence thereof). (The refs are all maps in openstreet showing the municipalities' limits and the islands' limits.)
Start with checking on map 4 "Nuevitas" because the red colouring of the islands makes it easier to sort out. In that map, at that scale, we see roughly what looks like 4 of them red islands + a sort of peninsula west of them that's (righfully) attached to Nuevitas municipality by being in red too. Add to that the island in white, on the left of them red ones, and that gives the following list from west to east :
  • cayo Coco, the island in white in map 4 and in red in map 1. It is with Morón[1]. This one has the proper colour in all 4 maps but I mention it in case you decide to spend some time checking what's what. Knowing what this one is, will help.
  • cayo Romano Occidental[2]. It belongs to Morón[1], so :
map 1: it should be in red (not in white).
map 2: it should be in yellow (not in white).
map 3: it should be in white (not in yellow).
map 4: it should be in white (not in red).
  • cayo Romano Oriental[2] is with Esmeralda[3]. It's the island that's got on its north side a long thin island which is cayo Cruz[4], so we can't get that one wrong. But also : it's taken me a while to sort out that the blob on its right, the one that looks (rather loosely) like an elephant with a bloated trump turned towards the left, is supposed to represent cayo Romano Oriental too (determined that by careful comparing of municipalities limits aligned with them cayos, + cayo Romano Oriental is almost 3 times the length of cayo Romano Occidental so that fits these maps too). So :
map 1 and map 2: both blobs ok in white.
map 3: both blobs should be in red (not in yellow).
map 4: both blobs should be in yellow (not in red).
  • cayo Guajaba[5] is with Nuevitas[6]. This one has the proper colour in all 4 maps.
  • cayo Sabinal (the "sort of peninsula") is with Nuevitas[6]. This one has the proper colour in all 4 maps.
Of course all the maps for all municipalities in Ciego de Ávila province and in Camagüey province also show the wrong colours for these islands but at least there is no red involved so it doesn't show so much. Besides that, in all the maps, Guáimaro municipality is shown to go all the way to the sea, which it doesn't (see fr:Guáimaro where I added a comment in that sense). For the municipalities in Camagüey province, each of them has a handy section "Municipalités voisines" with a table that gives links to all neighbouring places, + with the corresponding map in each, so you can jump from one to the next without having to go back to commons each time. I just finished that, will do Ciego de Ávila province next.
  • Refs
  1. a b municipality of Moron, map
  2. a b cayo Romano, map. It is divided in two : cayo Romano Occidental (name shown in this map) in Morón, Ciego de Ávila; and cayo Romano Oriental (I'm adding the "Oriental" as implied from the other bit, the map gives no name for this one) in Esmeralda, Camagüey.
  3. municipality of Esmeralda, map.
  4. cayo Cruz, map
  5. cayo Guajaba, map.
  6. a b municipality of Nuevitas, map.

Many thanks to whomever will accept to take the time so sort out these 4 maps' colours. --Pueblo89 (talk) 05:59, 30 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Kingofthedead: I assume that you're referring to the "census division" from the "Administrative boundaries". What do you mean by "messing up the borders"? How much simplification are you after?

@M.Bitton: I downloaded the "census divisions" shapefile from Administrative boundaries. I then converted it to svg. By "messing up the borders" I mean the internal borders become too simple, leaving white space in between. In reality I only want the extremely, unnecessarily detailed coasts which have a lot of nodes to be reduced. This is what it looks like when I use the "simplify" feature on Inkscape:

Article(s): w:Gautier, Mississippi

Hello, can someone please upload a new map of Jackson County, Mississippi, specifically one that includes w:Gautier, Mississippi, as the area of the city has increased? It would be a new version of File:Jackson County Mississippi Incorporated and Unincorporated areas Gautier Highlighted.svg. If it's not too difficult, someone could also upload new maps showing the other cities in Jackson County, Mississippi. Thanks! Kk.urban (talk) 22:45, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Map colours[edit]

Article(s): en:Psilocybin decriminalization in the United States

Request
I think the colours for "Legal for medical use and decriminalized" and "Decriminalized" are quite similar and could lead to confusion, especially on small screens like mobiles and for people with sight and colour blindness and similar such issues. So, I think more different/distinct colours could be used for this map, taking into account colour blindness and sight issues and just generally be easier to distinguish between for everyone.

Create vector static map for commuter rail network[edit]

Article(s): en:Virginia Railway Express

Request
Hi! Please create a vector static map for this commuter rail network. Thank you! --OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 02:41, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
P.S. Please use #eb1b23 for the Fredericksburg Line, and #1a458b for the Manassas Line. Thanks again! --OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 02:49, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@OrdinaryScarlett As it is the requester who has the knowledge about the subject and the graphic workers knows the graphic, it's common that the requester provides a good free source for the request. Graphic worker doesn't generally do research and reads a lot of text etc, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:28, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sure! A great source for the geographical data for both lines can be found at Data:Virginia Railway Express.map, which I made myself using the preexisting KML file attached to the Wikipedia article. I hope that's good enough? --OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 23:04, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Where is the east end of the red line? It just appears to merge with the blue one on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data:Virginia_Railway_Express.map cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 02:41, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The two merge together and both end at the same point; at Washington Union Station. Because of the way that these maps work, unfortunately you can only see one line over the other when they overlap. But yes, they both at the same point. --OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 05:46, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
P.S. Again, but ideally a map similar to this would be preferable. Thanks again! --OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 00:18, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Cleaning up the SVG coding for a Massachusetts county map[edit]

Article(s): en:List_of_counties_in_Massachusetts

Request
I made a map based on the article information to visually show the status of county governments and government abolition. I used File:Map_of_Massachusetts_highlighting_Barnstable_County.svg as the base and edited the SVG coding, but it could definitely use some edits and love from someone more experienced with SVG to make it more visually appealing. --Gimelthedog (talk) 16:45, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I would really appreciate it if someone could make a map of the results of the 1934 Germany referendum. The results of the referendum are detailed here (in German), and it would use the same template as the other files in Category:Weimar Republic election maps. Thank you so much!

Update request for File:Europe countries map en 2.png[edit]

Article(s): Many articles across Wikipedia.

Request
In File:Europe countries map en 2.png, the black coloring for Nagorno-Karabakh within the borders of Azerbaijan needs to be removed, because the de facto Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh ceased to exist after Azerbaijan took all of it and gained full control over its entire territory in 2023. (The same requests have also been made for the removal of Nagorno-Karabakh from the maps which include Azerbaijan by other users here in the Commons:Graphic Lab/Map workshop page, which are pending.) --Multituberculata (talk) 08:58, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
