Done @Giovannibeltran67: As far as I'm aware, the current map suggests "other type of partnerships", not marriages, which is the case. I did notice some debate on talk pages about whether it should be classed as marriage or not, but I think it's best discussed there. In the event of any consensus to change the current map, please update us. Jolly Ω Janner 03:44, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

- Request
- File:Central Europe location map.svg can be used as a basis for the map. However, the border between the Czech Republic and
PolandSlovakia needs to be removed, because Czechoslovakia was a single country in 1990. The coordinations for beginning, perigee and end of the fireball are provided in the article. It would be great if the towns and cities lying near the three points (beginning: Uherský Brod, perigee: Wrocław and end: Poznań and maybe other important cities along the track were located on the map too.

- @Jolly Janner: Sorry, I misunderstood your previous question. I thought that you just want to make sure whether the positions are OK before you go on marking the track. Would it be possible to join the three points into a line to show the whole track and keep the three points – begin, perigee and end – still visible? E. g. the track could be thinner or have different colour, depends which would look better.
- As for other cities, I think it could stay as it is. Jan Kameníček (talk) 23:57, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Jan.Kamenicek: I have added a black dashed line through the points. I would appreciate your thoughts. Jolly Ω Janner 00:20, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Question about text in SVG files
If I am creating an SVG file, I check what it looks like in my browser. The fonts my browser uses to render the text in it are presumably determined somewhere under my control.
When I upload the SVG to Commons, some program there renders the SVG into .svg.png files that are served out to the various Wikipedias. This program has some default fonts which are different from the ones my browser uses, so my SVG sometimes looks wrong: pieces of text don't fit in the boxes I drew for them.
A sensible solution would be for me to change my browser's default fonts to the ones the renderer on Commons uses. How can I find out what these are? Maproom (talk) 20:19, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
- You need to convert the text to path in your svg editor so that it will appear the same everywhere. Rcsprinter123 (articulate) @ 20:35, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Wharf map of London
I've photographed an out-of-copyright 1905 map of the River Thames wharves in central and east London. It needs to be stitched together - there are six segments divided between two horizontal strips, each with three segments at the top and three at the bottom. The colours also need to be equalised and the segments need to be correctly sized and positioned alongside each other. The segments are:
- File:Thames wharf map top left third.jpg
- File:Thames wharf map top middle third.jpg
- File:Thames wharf map top right third.jpg
- File:Thames wharf map bottom left third.jpg
- File:Thames wharf map bottom middle third.jpg
- File:Thames wharf map bottom right third.jpg
Could someone please help with this? Prioryman (talk) 21:23, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
- I have some software designed to do that; but it requires at least some overlap between each pair of adjacent segments. My impression is that the 1st and 2nd have a gap between them (ok, maybe no gap, but no overlap as required: look at London Bridge station), and the 5th and 6th have no overlap. Maproom (talk) 21:33, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
- I think the gaps exist on the original map. It consists of a sheet of cloth onto which squares of map have been glued, so there are gaps between the individual squares. I presume they made it that way to be more resistant to folding than it would be if it was a single sheet of paper. Prioryman (talk) 21:48, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
- Ah, that's what the OS called the "dissected" edition. They stopped making these by the end of 1952, but they carried on making the non-dissected cloth-backed maps until circa 1967. --Redrose64 (talk) 23:15, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

@Prioryman: After some resizing and cropping, this is what it looks like. Unfortunately, because the photos were taken from different angles/distances (even minute changes have a major effect), this is the best I can come up with. Philg88 ♦talk 05:39, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

China-Pakistan Economic Corridor
Would someone be able to create a map for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor using the model supplied here? The article is badly in need of a map. Currently, the ones that have been used have all been taken from somewhere in the internet and deleted for copyright. I can't find a free or public version. Hence, it would be great if someone here could do the cartography. The link I've given is reliable, as the map has been designed by the National Highways Authority (Pakistan) and has their logo on it. Mar4d (talk) 14:07, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- Also, that map uses the term Indian Occupied Kashmir for Indian-administered Kashmir, but for NPOV purposes, it may be better to have a map that uses Jammu and Kashmir, the official name of the disputed territory. Mar4d (talk) 14:08, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- I will suggest to creators that, using bare term Jammu and Kashmir in Pakistan map will suggest that Jammu and Kashmir is one of state of Pakistan while in reality it is one of democratic state of India. so better term should be used in map will be "Indian administered Kashmir" for Indian side and "Pakistan administered Kashmir" for Pakistan side of Kashmir. United Nations maps do have such terms. If Pakistan side of Kashmir is not mentioned as "Pakistan administered Kashmir" then that Map will be nominated for deletion on Wikimedia. --Human3015 Say Hey!! • 16:03, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

- It's a map of Pakistan. Like all the other maps, all the provinces have their own names, including Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The only reason why Jammu and Kashmir is added is because it's a territorial claim. Mar4d (talk) 16:50, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- Pakistan government itself consider "Paksitan administered Kashmir" as "disputed territory". see map on Pakistan's government site. This map can be seen on all Pakistan's government websites. If both side of Kashmir is disputed then why only Indian side should be called as "Administered side". It is map of "only" Pakistan on government websites still they show "Pak administered Kashmir" as "disputed" one. So there should be no question regarding this issue that both sides should be called as "administered side".--Human3015 Say Hey!! • 17:06, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- You showed me one map, but there are thousands of maps and I can show you any with Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan doesn't dispute Kashmir as its claimed territory, it only disputes its status. This article is on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, not the Kashmir conflict, so such maps are not relevant. As a major portion of the project is concentrated in Gilgit-Baltistan, an official map accurately showing the territory and all the other Administrative units of Pakistan would be required. And by the way, you won't find any official map of Pakistan where Kashmir is excluded. Mar4d (talk) 18:48, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- If you can show me "thousands of maps" then please show 10 maps from Pakistan's government websites. If this article is about China and Pakistan then no need to show Indian state in it. If Pakistan claims Jammu and Kashmir then India also claims Pakistan side of Kashmir. I can show "thousands of Maps" from Indian government websites. You will say this is article about Pakistan, then it doesn't mean that Government of Pakistan owns this article. We have to write article on the basis of international standards, not on local standards. Anyway, don't debate on it. I was just giving my opinion to creators, not to you. Hope creators got my point. This is sensitive issue and any wrong map will be nominated for deletion on Wikimedia commons. Thank you.--Human3015 Say Hey!! • 19:05, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

As a major portion of the project is concentrated in Gilgit-Baltistan, an official map accurately showing the territory and all the other Administrative units of Pakistan would be required. And by the way, you won't find any official map of Pakistan where Kashmir is excluded. Mar4d (talk) 18:48, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- Pakistan government itself consider "Paksitan administered Kashmir" as "disputed territory". see map on Pakistan's government site. This map can be seen on all Pakistan's government websites. If both side of Kashmir is disputed then why only Indian side should be called as "Administered side". It is map of "only" Pakistan on government websites still they show "Pak administered Kashmir" as "disputed" one. So there should be no question regarding this issue that both sides should be called as "administered side".--Human3015 Say Hey!! • 17:06, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- It's a map of Pakistan. Like all the other maps, all the provinces have their own names, including Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The only reason why Jammu and Kashmir is added is because it's a territorial claim. Mar4d (talk) 16:50, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
Map for Nanded division and Aurangabad division
The above mentioned articles Nanded division and Aurangabad division are under construction. There is old map of Aurangabad division I have given. Work is very simple, just remove Nanded district, Parbhani district, Hingoli district and Latur district from given map, it will become current valid map of Aurangabad division. Then remove Aurangabad district, Jalna district, Beed district and Osmanabad district from map then it will be a valid map of Nanded division. You can identify districts by clicking on respective district and see location on Wikipedia page of those districts. Thank you. (Hope you understood).--Human3015 Say Hey!! • 15:16, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
Note: Earlier Aurangabad division used to have 8 districts in it as shown in map, but recently new Nanded division having 4 districts is carved out of earlier Aurangabad division, so this map is no more valid now. Now both divisions have 4 districts in it. And it needs map. Maharashtra has total 7 such divisions. --Human3015 Say Hey!! • 04:08, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

I have posted it as self work as I have done derivative work on basic File:Maharashtra locator map.svg. Can you tell me licensing is OK or not, or can you create acceptable map by seeing images that I have created? Thank you. --Human3015 Say Hey!! • 07:03, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
- If I use a derivitative work, I always take the licence of the original work. That is, in some cases, required. That way I am always on the safe side. So I changed the licences of both works. I also changed the source of both files. I cannot create new files because I don't have the time for that now. But it is not a difficult task.

Ming Empire map
Warning I'm beginner editor of Wikipedia, and I need the help of a high-ranking member who knows how to create a map and who has knowledge of historical China especially Ming Empire. As you can deduce from my words yes I'm intent on creating a Ming Empire, with provinces and prefectures(smaller districts). This map may take you some toll, I will provide with the resources and what the map looks like of course as part of resources exchange. Maybe even a team can work together.

- I don't really understand what you mean by a "high-ranking member", maybe you mean experienced? It seems like you want to create a map which will be comprehensive in many aspects and will have to be planned thoroughly. I don't really know if you will be able to find a graphic worker who also has knowledge of "historical China especially Ming Empire", sounds like it will be hard.

These nine fill:
values represent the nine colours respectively, so it's a simple matter of adjusting the ones that are less distinguishable. The first and last can probably stay the same, and the eighth probably can too, so six replacement colours need to be chosen. All other colours (both fill and stroke) in the drawing are blacks and greys, which need not be altered. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:43, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I would like to request that a label "Moscow Canal", in blue text, be added to this map (the canal is mentioned in the caption at Moskva River, but not actually marked). The Moscow Canal is the short waterway running approximately north from Moscow to the Volga River. At the same time, I would like to request that the canal symbol (short blue 'ticks') is made more obvious. At normal viewing scale it is very faint and virtually indistinguishable from a river.

Map of the Migrations of the Alans
- Article(s)
- Alans
- Request
- I find the colors a little confusing in this map. The legend mentions yellow for areas where Alans settled, red [lines] for routes taken by civilians, and orange [lines] for military excursions. However, one of the red lines, the shorter one below the long one, looks a little orange, and the short, thin lines proceeding from the yellow settlement areas look too yellow to be called orange. Is there any way to make the military excursions look truly orange and the red lines to look really red? I presume the military excursions are the pale orange-yellow ones proceeding from the yellow settlement areas, but I'm not sure. Perhaps if one or both lines were another color, such as blue or purple, there would be no possibility of confusion. CorinneSD (talk) 22:36, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

- Graphist opinion(s)
- Converting JPEG to SVG is fraught with many problems, not least of which is the completely different philosophies (raster graphics vs vector graphics). It would be easier, I think, to use one of the existing SVG maps as a starting point, and recolour that. At the original request, two SVGs were displayed: File:Ireland trad counties named ga.svg and File:Counties of the island of Ireland.svg and I think that the second of these would be most suitable. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:28, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. I agree that the second would be most suitable. However, I attempted to use that map as-is (i.e. with the same colouring), and this is what happened -
Lua error in Module:Location_map/multi at line 13: Unable to find the specified location map definition. Neither "Module:Location map/data/Counties of the island of Ireland" nor "Template:Location map Counties of the island of Ireland" exists. Mooretwin (talk) 10:07, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
- That error message doesn't mean a fault with the map, it means that the country name "Counties of the island of Ireland" isn't registered with the
{{location map+}}
suite. It shouldn't be: instead, the first unnamed parameter should stay as|Ireland
, with other parameters being used to obtain the map data (name, corner coordinates, etc.) that should be set in{{Location map Ireland}}

- This map is supposed to show the maximum area of settlement of the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture at a certain point in the past. I suppose the thin lines under the colors are outlines of modern countries and either states or provinces within those countries. If one is familiar with those outlines, the countries will be easily recognized, but for readers unfamiliar with the outlines, the map is not very helpful. If the countries could be labeled, and perhaps the outlines of the countries made a little bolder, to distinguish them from the outlines of states/provinces, it would make this map much more informative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CorinneSD (talk • contribs) 01:29, 1 July 2015

A map that shows the maximum extent of Daher el-Omar's autonomous sheikhdom in 1744. At its peak, Daher's sheikhdom included parts of modern-day Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan and to a lesser extent Syria. Specifically it included the coastal plain from Gaza to Beirut (length) and Jaffa to Ramla (width), the whole Galilee, Jezreel Valley and Jabal Amil (South Governorate and Nabatieh Governorate minus Hasbaya District), Jabal Ajlun (Ajlun Governorate and Irbid Governorate). It also included nominal, but not actual control of Jerusalem and Nablus and their respective districts i.e. central Israel/Palestine. The latter could be reflected in the map or excluded completely.
Major localities that were actually part of the sheikhdom that need to be denoted include the following: Gaza, Jaffa, Ramla, Acre, Haifa, al-Tantura, Shefa-'Amr, Deir Hanna, Arraba, Khirbat Jiddin, Tiberias, Nazareth, Safad, Irbid, Ajlun, Beirut, Sidon, Tyre and Tibnin. Other localities significant to the sheikhdom, but to a lesser degree are Bi'ina, Saffuriya, Deir al-Qassi, al-Bassah, Yaroun, Abu Snan, Tira, Qaqun, I'billin, Tarbikha and Suhmata. Places of significance but outside Daher's actual control in 1774 include Nablus, Jerusalem, Sanur and Damascus. The map should zoom, in so to speak, on the Levant, but also highlight the territory of the Ottoman Empire and perhaps its increasingly autonomous Egypt Eyalet province.
There are no maps out there showing the maximum extent of Daher's control or few if any that show his longtime control of the Galilee. In my opinion, the map would add incredible value to the subject's article (which I intend to nominate for GA soon) and for any readers interested in the subject who would be able to have a better idea of Daher's autonomous sheikhdom. The information I have listed above is derived by the reliable sources used in the subject article, in particular Thomas Phillipp's Acre: The Rise and Fall of a Palestinian City, 1730-1831 and Ahmad Hasan Joudah's Revolt in Palestine in the Eighteenth Century: The Era of Shaykh Zahir Al-ʻUmar.

See the yellow box here. --Al Ameer (talk) 00:37, 20 July 2015 (UTC)- @Al Ameer son:I had to redraw the map because is was not accurate enough for this. I have now added all the different locations but all the names have not been worked with so they way they are shown will change, it's a draft.
- In this draft I have both areas and if we go for the yellow you will loose one place.
- I have no idea of how to understand the extent/borders of Daher el-Omar empire. You will have to tell me or show me a map/drawing. Remember that I have zero knowledge of this, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:09, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

- @Goran tek-en: I've drawn up a rough estimation of Daher's domain (See Here) i.e. the areas under his actual (in green) or nominal (in red) control in 1774. The yellow square is fine (the excluded town is al-Bassa, located between Tyre and Acre, not al-Bassali). I could see that the towns are cluttered up, however. Therefore, I think it's best if we limit the towns to those that served as his headquarters (Tiberias, Acre, Nazareth, Arraba and Deir Hanna), major towns (Haifa, Jaffa, Ramla, Sanur, Tantura, Gaza, Jerusalem, Nablus, Irbid, Sidon, Beirut, Damascus and Tibnin). That would mean the removal of Shefa-'Amr, Saffuriya, Yaroun, al-Bassa, Tira, Ajlun, Khirbat Jiddin, Abu Snan, Bi'ina, Tarbikha, Deir al-Qassi, Suhmata, Tyre and Qaqun. --Al Ameer (talk) 21:14, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

- @Al Ameer son: The link for Levant shows different areas so it's hard to know exactly which you want.

Maybe you have to reload the page to get the new image. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:42, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en: Could we zoom in more on the Levant (Israel/Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan)? --Al Ameer (talk) 18:53, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
- @Al Ameer son: First we have to determine the maximum area which the map should hold, is this the maximum area? If not can you tell me where to add or remove, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:08, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
@Al Ameer son: Now there is a new draft for you to look at and give me feedback on. In this draft I haven't removed any localities but edited other stuff. Have a look at it and if you still want me to remove the localities above I will of course do so but it didn't feel so good to remove those places as I guess they are important to the map. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:29, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en: The map is shaping up nicely. I've uploaded this draft with requested changes. The requested changes are the following:
- Elimination of the localities that have been erased (i.e. Shefa-'Amr, Saffuriya, Yaroun, al-Bassa, Tira, Ajlun, Khirbat Jiddin, Abu Snan, Bi'ina, Tarbikha, Deir al-Qassi, Suhmata, Tyre and Qaqun)
- The labeling of all other localities remaining on the map instead of the legend, including Damascus, Jerusalem, Nablus and Sanur. The change in color from white to black for the following localities: Irbid, Ajlun, Haifa, Tantura, Jaffa, Gaza, Ramla, Sidon, Tyre, Tibnin, Safad and Beirut. The following should be kept white and denoted in the legend as "Zahir's seats of power": Acre, Nazareth, Tiberias, Arraba and Deir Hanna.
- The modern-day (2015) borders should be replaced by the Ottoman provincial boundaries of the 18th century, which I drew in red. The three provinces that should be labeled are Sidon Eyalet, Damascus Eyalet and Egypt Eyalet.
- The Hauran, Jabal Amil, Mount Lebanon, Jabal Nablus and Galilee geographic regions should be mentioned in italics. I added them to the draft but you could adjust the style to however you see fit.
- Some form of stripe shading should be applied to the territory of Zahir's vassal, Sheikh Nasif al-Nassar. I highlighted the area in green. --Al Ameer (talk) 20:36, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
-
- It would had been great if you told me about the bordes from the beginning, it would have saved work for me. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:00, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en: My apologies. To be honest I had not thought of that aspect until I saw your latest draft. --Al Ameer (talk) 18:40, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
- @Al Ameer son: I'm sorry, It just felt like to much for a moment. I do understand that you couldn't see that coming.
- New draft to look at. With those things;
- First you asked me to eliminate Aljun and then to change the color from white to black, but I just removed it?
- I removed the names Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, was that correct?
- I didn't add the arrows yet, I need some kind of explanation to them. It helps me to shape/form then and for the legend. Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:49, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
-
- @Goran tek-en: Everything you just mentioned above is fine and thank you for your patience. I understand this is not a region you're very familiar with. The arrows were not meant to be included in the final map. I only added them to give you a better idea about the areas that those geographic regions covered. All the critical aspects are finished, all that remains are some style adjustments: The font and color of the geographic names and provinces should be more distinct from each other, but if this is too time-consuming then no big deal. Could the Mount Lebanon, Galilee and Jabal Amil geographic regions appear vertically/diagonally as depicted in my Revised Draft. And finally, "Daher el-Omar" should be replaced with "Zahir al-Umar" in the map's title due to the article's recent name change. The map should be all set after that. --Al Ameer (talk) 20:42, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
- @Al Ameer son: New draft to look at. I'm not to keen on putting names diagonally as it reduces the readability. Look at my draft and see if that's OK. As I don't really understand what areas is meant by the Geographic regions respectively Provinces names it's hard for me to place them more correct. If you want we can add some very thin shades to show them.
- Actually I have spent quite some time in that area but it was not during that time span...
- When we are done I will need the following;
- Name of the file
- Description
- Category/ies at commons
- to be able to upload it at commons. Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:35, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Also, some readers may not be familiar with the other islands, so even if they see the island labeled "Alor", they may not be able to visualize where Alor is.

Papakating Creek, etc.
I'd like to create some river maps for Papakating Creek (with tributaries and watershed) and Neepaulakating Creek, a mountain map for Kittatinny Mountain amongst other landforms in northwestern New Jersey that I'll be working on going forward (drafts being sandboxed). If someone from this project would help me with creating those three--I mean teach me as you do them--I'd be glad to learn how to make maps and maybe if I get the hang of it (I tend to be a quick study) assist in aiding this project and any backlog of requests. Look forward to hearing from you. JackTheVicar (talk) 14:57, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

- Request
- I would like to know if SVG versions of the above maps could be drawn, using the recommended colours in here and layers (for later manipulation). My goal is twofold: to have SVG maps that can be easily translated into Spanish for the Spanish Wikipedia and having the basis to create SVG versions of other maps that seem to share the same base map such as these: BG1257-77.jpg, Bulg & neighb. XIV A.png, Bulgaria under Bizantine rule.png, Bulgaria under Boril.png, Bulgaria under Kaloyan pl.png, Bulgaria-1371.jpg, Bulgaria-Ivan Asen 2.png, Bulgaria-Theodore Svetoslav.png. Campaigns of Ivan Assen II.png, Culture of the Second Bulgarian Empire.png, Culture of the First Bulgarian Empire.png, First Bulgarian Empire (976-1018).png, Second Bulgarian Empire (1185-1196).png, Second Bulgarian Empire (1241-1256).png, Second Bulgarian Empire after 1371.png. Once we have vector versions of the three maps above, these could be turned into SVG as well with much less effort. Thank you.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 07:05, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 15:46, 9 August 2015 (UTC).
@Rowanwindwhistler: Before I do any more I want you to look at this overall draft to check that this is the largest overall area that we need?
All maps are different and the three you provided needs a rotation to fit my draft but that is the most correct we have.
So tell me if that overall area is the biggest we need, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:20, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en:. I would recommend making it a bit larger to include the Greek peninsula. Though I think most of the maps could use that base, there one or two in the list I intend to turn into SVG (Bulgaria-Ivan Asen 2.png, First Bulgarian Empire (976-1018).png for instance) that would require a bit more territory in the South. Thank you.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 05:59, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Rowanwindwhistler: Is this fine? It's always much easier to remove then to add further on for the different maps, feedback thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:20, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en:. Then, if possible, please add the territory up to Dniester river. While rechecking the maps I realized some of them (these: 1, [1] at least) extend quite to the North of the peninsula. If it is better to have one base map for all of them, it would be nice to extend this second version North till the Dniester to be able to use it for these ones too. Sorry I did not notice last time. Thank you.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 04:56, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Rowanwindwhistler: Check this draft and give me feedback on it. I have added more rivers from the different maps but as always maps are very different from each other so you have to guess some. Tell me if this is what you want and/or what to change, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:46, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

- Hi, sorry for intervening a bit late but just two comments. First, it seems that the resolution of the coastline data of the proposed map is very low and thus the quality of the coast is bad. Just look at the Thasos Island. It is represented as part of the main land and the Nestos river is on top of it. Second, I would recommend to cut the map on the south around the 38.5 N as the Peloponnese was never part of the Bulgarian state and no need to present it. This will allow to focus better on the subject and reduce the map size. If you do not have the means I can help if you wish to produce a map with better resolution. --Ikonact (talk) 14:22, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for informing me about the resolution. I will make a new one with higher resolution so please check here for that. I have no knowledge of that area like that so I need help. This is a problem that comes from taking a part of a map that shows a much larger area so I usally redraw them as I will with this. If you both agree on the cut I will also do that, I have no knowledge, again. My idea is that this is a base map and then we can reduce/zoom in when it's possible depending on the map. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:33, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Rowanwindwhistler:@Ikonact: Now I want BOTH of you to look at this base draft and tell me if the overall area is right and if the level of details is good. I haven't added more than coastline just so I don't do a lot of work for nothing, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:08, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en:, personally, I think the previous one was much better. If the map does not include the Southern part of Greece, some maps will not be able to use this base map, as I mentioned earlier. Thank you.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 19:53, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

- @Rowanwindwhistler: Now there are two drafts to look at. But as always with maps they are all different in how they were made so it's hard to combine them to get everything perfect. You really have to check them regarding everything and tell me what to change, add or remove.
- Base map. If more basic stuff comes up when working on the other maps I will add that.
- Battle of Velbazhd. If you want me to cut the overall map somewhere you have to tell me.
- In some names there is a read letter, you have to write it here for me because I can't find it on my keyboard or character map.

- @Goran tek-en:, the base map looks very nice. I found a couple of small typos, though: the river is called Maritsa and Konstantinopol is actually Constantinople in English.
-
-
-
-
-
- On the special characters, I think these were the ones you were looking for: Braničevo, Niš, Hârșova, Kočane, Staro Nagoričane, Dečanski (I usually look them up in Google and paste them into the map when necessary, though they can also be found in the "Special characters" menu in Wikipedia).
-
-
-
-
-
- The Battle of Velbazhd. can be made to fit the same area as the original map and that should be fine I think. Unless I am mistaken, only the Byzantine border in Greece (at the bottom of the original map) is missing.
-
-
-
-
-
- Though not 100% sure, I think the cyan colored dots are villages or hamlets.

- @Goran tek-en: thank you very much! I have created an Spanish version. Basically I translated the text and changed the colour of the cities in one territory to white to increase the contrast with the background. I had to make the font in some legend entries a bit smaller to fit the longer Spanish. For the third map, would you mind uploading the map with layers? It makes selecting objects much easier when translating. Thanks again!--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 20:43, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- I forgot to ask: did you upload the base map into Commons in the end? I may have overlooked it and I would like ot see if I can use it as a basis for turning another png map into svg. Thanks.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 06:32, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Rowanwindwhistler: It is preferred that svg are not uploaded as Inkscape, Illustrator or other program specific files which it has to be if one should keep the layers. On the other hand I really do understand your point when you make language versions. In the plain svg I upload each layer has become a group, so all country names are in one group and so on.
- I don't know if you use Inkscape when you do language versions but what we can do that would help you is that I give you a link to where you can download the version with layers and when you are done use "Save as..." or "Save a copy..." and then choose "Plain svg" as file type and upload that file. If you don't use Inkscape there should be a similar way. I don't know how much you know of what I have described above so I'm just sharing what I know and how I work here.
- I haven't uploaded the base map yet as I wanted to add all the information from the three requested maps so I will do it soon. I will need the following for the base map;
- Name of the file
- Description
- Category/ies at commons
- to be able to upload it at commons.
- @Goran tek-en: you understood exactly my point. When it comes to translation, each piece of text has to be selected (unless you open the file in a text editor which I would rather avoid) in order to change it. When I have layers (you are right, I use inkscape for that), I can hide everything except the text layers and work quickly on them. If the whole map is in one layer I see no easy way to select a particular text object and often end up selecting another object, which makes the process slower. I suppose I could copy the groups you mention into a layer, work on the layer and them merge it back with the rest of the map, but then again I would be basically recreating the removed layers... It seems whoever thought about this rule did not take translations into account (or maybe thought of a different way of doing it from the one I use, though I think mine is the most simple one). Your suggestion sounds very nice to me but may have a problem in the long run: it would certainly help me with my Spanish translation but if someone tries to make a, say, Turkish version in 3 month's time he or she will face the same problem... I may raise the question in the help forums to see if the rule can be changed or if the colleagues can think of an alternative (and quick) way to do the translations.

- Anyhow, on the base map, no hurry, whenever it is ok with you is fine with me. I just wanted to try and see if I could fit this and this onto the base map (that is, if I could use it not just for the Bulgarian maps I mentioned originally, but for others too). I think it could be called something like Map_of_the_Balkans_in_the_Middle_ages.svg with a description such as "Base map showing the Balkans in the late Middle Ages, including the main cities and towns". As for the categories, I would go for "SVG maps showing history in English" & "Maps of the history of the medieval Balkans". Thank you!--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 19:53, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

- @Goran tek-en: right you are indeed.

@Rowanwindwhistler: Now there is a draft of the third map. I'm missing names of two areas (legend x and xx) and also I don't understand the top point in the legend of image BG-1371.jpg. Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:28, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en: good point, I did not realize about that when I checked the map... I asked in the author's discussion page to see if he/she can lend a hand and clarify these 2 doubts. The map looks nice but maybe the dates are a bit too small to read and maybe a lighter colour would improve readability of the labels on the darker background territories...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 21:20, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

- Thank you, I will try to use it soon for the other maps. Regarding the third map, its creator told me both territories (x & xx) are "Bulgarian territory conquered by the Ottoman Empire around 1371" (no idea yet why they use different colours) and so it should say in the first legend entry.

- You may use the same colour for both areas or leave them with different colours but use the same label for both in the legend. According to the uploader, both territories are "Bulgarian territory conquered by the Ottoman Empire around 1371". From the explanation I got the description fits both areas (no idea why there is only one colour next to the text in the legend entry).--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 09:50, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Call for assist with .svg orthographic map upgrade
This is a call for technical assistance upgrading an orthographic map in an .svg format [File:USA orthographic.svg].
A discussion at Talk:United States#which map should we use? has led to the conclusion that the map in use from Wikicommons, [2] should be upgraded to include Puerto Rico using color #C6DEBD, representing “Other areas part of the same political unity”, as sourced at U.S. State Department, Common Core Document to U.N. Committee on Human Rights, December 30, 2011, Item 22, 27, and agreed to in a Request for Mediation and supported by a Request for Comment consensus on the Talk page with inputs from Politics, government and law. Geography. and the United States wiki communities.
The introductory sentence has been edited to read, "The United States of America (USA), ... is a federal republic composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major territories and various possessions." The map does not depict all insular territories, but Puerto Rico alone comprises 90% of their population, so it is useful in locating the United States territory in the Caribbean Sea, which the present version does not. There is also some expressed concern about the border and background conforming to standard. TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 07:11, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

O'Hara Township has 5 non-contiguous pieces
-
A better version of this is desired, which clearly shows the 5 pieces of the township. The image should be zoomed in much closer than the Allegheny County outline level.
- Request
- In Allegheny County, O'Hara Township consists of five non-contiguous areas, with Sharpsburg, Aspinwall and Fox Chapel separating them. See http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/?p=default&b=base1&x=-8893566.632940842&y=4939807.880087165&l=13&v=Boundaries%3A4%3B14 . It would be great if there were a zoomed-in map that showed these 5 parts, shaded to show the detail, so that the separation was clear. One of the parts is an island in the river.Jeff in CA (talk) 06:03, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
- Jeff in CA, have you seen File:Map of O'Hara Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Highlighted.png? Part of the same map series as the Delaware County map you linked, it shows only four pieces, not five, but despite what the article says, I can only find four pieces. If you know the name of the island in question, that would help. Nyttend (talk) 19:06, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you, Nyttend, for looking at my request. I did not remember having seen that map, but at some time I think I did see it. You are correct that it does not show the fifth piece, named Sixmile Island, in the Allegheny River a short distance downstream from the other pieces. One other problem with that map is that it does not show the separation between two of the pieces (that separation is small but quite real). That map makes it appear that they are connected at a point, which they are not. Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide. Jeff in CA (talk) 04:44, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Note that I'm not a graphist; I saw this while participating in my own request, and I jumped in because I used to live in metro Pittsburgh. At this scale, it's not really going to be practical to separate the tiny gap on Gayasuta Road, because it's literally about fifty feet or less; USGS topo maps at highest resolution don't show the gap, so you have to pick a different map option and zoom in all the way. If you use the Allegheny County GIS website, you'll see that it's literally just a single lot that separates the two pieces. Meanwhile, aside from the unsourced bit in the article, do you have any source for Sixmile Island being in O'Hara Township? Everything I'm seeing (whether USGS, Google Maps, or the county GIS) depicts it within Sharpsburg Borough, with the township chunk being largely restricted to the Highland Park Bridge and ending about 150 feet downstream of Lock and Dam No. 2. Nyttend (talk) 13:05, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you. My source for Sixmile Island being in O'Hara Township is this USGS link: http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/?p=default&b=base1&x=-8893566.632940842&y=4939807.880087165&l=13&v=Boundaries%3A4%3B14 Click this link, and after the map loads, click the box for the "Minor Civil Division labels" overlay, zoom in on Sixmile Island, wait for the data to finish "Loading", position the cursor on the island and double-click. It should display the word "O'Hara" on the island. (Or, just an extreme zoom-in without clicking should reveal it also.) Jeff in CA (talk)
- Also, if you go the Allegheny County GIS map that you linked, and again do an extreme zoom-in, the map changes to an aerial photograph of the island. Click on the island to bring up a text box that states,"Municipality: O'HARA Owner:TOWNSHIP OF O'HARA". Jeff in CA (talk) 20:05, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, you're clearly right. Thanks for the instructions, because without them, I would still have been thinking you were wrong. I previously used the GIS and clicked on the island and got nothing: all it told me was that it didn't know what parcel I was clicking on, even though I'd clearly clicked on the island, not on the surrounding river.

Re-drawing of the borders of this map.

- Indo-Parthian kingdom
- Request
Hello, I recently asked the creator of the map (User:Lommes) to update the map, but now actually based upon some sourcing, but he kindly told me he unfortunately does not find himself able to do so, regarding time. So, upon recommendation of him, I'm asking it to be fixed here. It was actually made back then apparantly in the graphics-lab upon request (without any source), but the article is still unfortunately a mess ever since (like 2011?) so I thought of bringing in some references.
Basically; the territories of the Indo-Parthians need some tweaking, with; the western border set at Nimruz Province, as well as Herat, the northern borders comprising Kabul and Bagram, the eastern border at minor parts of Punjab, India, while the southern border at Kandahar and the mouth of the Indus River; basically, spread mostly at Afghanistan and Pakistan, with a little bit of territoriy in contemporary northwestern India. Here are the references as well, which you can add on commons --> [1][2]
Could you perhaps ping me upon reply, finishing the map, etc (e.g any reaction)? Thanks and bests :) - LouisAragon (talk) 04:03, 5 November 2015 (UTC) -- LouisAragon (talk) 18:39, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
- No one? :/ - LouisAragon (talk) 20:12, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
- I don't know if it's the same reason for everyone, but I'd like to point out the reasons I didn't want to take this on. While the image itself is fairly straightforward to manipulate, knowing exactly where to extend it is very difficult. I cannot access either of the references (also they use google.nl), so I'm just going on what you said. Upon looking at out article on Kandahar I see that the map appears to cover it or some of it, so I'm left unsure to what extent it needs to be covered. Same goes for Punjab. Jolly Ω Janner 20:23, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

- @Jolly Janner:, excus me for the belated response. If I demarcate the exact territory in the two regions you described, do you think you could fix it then afterwards? Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 03:17, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

For Punjab, India, lets take this place as the maximum eastern extent (tried to take something that was the most central in the province, guess we could fix that later even, but its sufficient for now). Is this more helpful or do you need more specific information? :-) Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 04:20, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

- @Jolly Janner:, thanks much. That's looking like it :-) Now, if you could shade a part of Balochistan, Pakistan in order for it not to look "too much" as if as drew it with a ruler, excluding any territory within Eastern Iran (the western-most border should include most of Nimruz Province), and making sure the northern borders are set at Bagram and Kabul (I think they are), I think were about done here! - LouisAragon (talk) 12:27, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

- @Jolly Janner:, yeah regarding such maps for very vague empires its alright to do that. If you could make the border between Minnagara and Charik like it was drawn "priorly" like in the original, aka, straightly back into Pakistan, but more smoothly drawn, that should do it. Also, the minor part in the easternmost area of Iran needs to get removed. In general, as long as it all doesnt look too "ruler drawn", you can make it any shape you want Jolly as long as its roughly within the confined territories I described. If it includes swaths of Balochistan, Pakistan as well, that doesnt matter. :-) Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 04:03, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Following the comments there, I now wonder if that map could be recreated as a version a) that is not a derivative work and thus not subject to non-free content policies and b) isn't just Spanish and black-n'-white.

I think we need more information. What exactly do you want to have on the map? Do you want elevation, geological formations, other? What min and max coordinates? I took a quick look and I think if one starts with our own map created from freely available sources one can superimpose other information. Erp (talk) 04:23, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Erp: At a minimum, the geological formations should be there - perhaps as a colour map? The coordinate lines and names should also be there; elevation and ages are not strictly necessary. Superimposing the information on a pre-existent free map seems like a good move, especially if it's a topographic map. Does this help?Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:56, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
- This may well be beyond my current skill. I'm trying to figure out what area the map in the pdf covers. The longitudes are fairly straightforward (approx. between 68d35'W and 68d55'W) but latitude is a bit trickier. At a minimum 27d02'S and 27d07'S. I've put an initial first stab up above with just elevation info (I know that isn't what you want, this also isn't quite using the standard wikipedia color scheme for elevation, I shifted it up so the color changes represent 200 meters). I suspect if the other map's info can be aligned one could use patterning superimposed on something like this map to indicate the geological formation. Erp (talk) 05:02, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

- Graphist opinion(s)
I have various comments. Please do not take these too seriously, I am far from an expert.
- The colouring of the relief in the sea is too heavy, and tends to distract from the important content.
- The colouring of the three "countries" is darker than it need be, making the place names harder to read.
- Some towns are shown as white circles, but most are triangles of black dots. If there is an important distinction here, it should be explained in a key.
- The font used is rendered in more than one way, depending onto whether I look at the image above, or at the original in Commons. For example, in the image above the word "Sikeloi" extends a tiny way into the sea, but in the Commons version it is entirely on land (as I believe was intended). Likewise, in the version above, I see one of the three dots for "Nakone" obscured by the "i" of "Elymoi". This is a common problem with SVG images on Wikipedia, and can be avoided by taking the advice at [5].
Maproom (talk) 10:02, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Maproom:, thanks for taking a look. I updated the file per your suggestions. As to specific issues:
- That's a feature of the original topographic map. I tried to turn off the entire relief layer, the resulting map is indeed lighter, but looses much of its' charm.
- Those were precisely the colours suggested by Wikipedia:WikiProject_Maps#Historical_maps, but apparently they don't work well with color-coded topographic background. I turned the altimetry layer altogether, perhaps it's better that way.
- Yeah, I was initially planning to distinguish larger towns from merely archaeological locations, but the idea didn't work out. Corrected now. (the icon for excavations is from Wikiproject Maps as well)
- That one is weird. If you look at the source, all texts are in Liberation Sans Regular, which is on the list, so in theory it should work just fine. I have no idea why it doesn't. Anyway, I moved the labels around a bit, perhaps this could solve some of the problems. //Halibutt 01:27, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

- In the above map, the UK (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) is shown in purple (meaning 'Both scales'), whereas it should be red (meaning 'Short scale'), the same color as the neighbouring Republic of Ireland, and as the USA.

Done FYI, PNG files such as this can be edited with software such as MS Paint (that's what I used) with the colour dropper and floodfill option.

I'm a little busy myself to do that, but you could keep this topic up and request that too. Jolly Ω Janner 04:38, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, but seemingly nothing has changed, Jolly Janner. The UK and Brazil are seemingly still the same wrong colours. So the change is seemingly not yet "done". Are you perhaps saying that I should change the colours myself using something like MS Paint? I could perhaps try, but it may not work with my out-of-date operating system, and then I don't know how to safely upload the amended file to Wikipedia, especially as this map seems to be used elsewhere, judging by its seemingly Spanish file name.

Request taken by Mliu92 (talk) 17:00, 23 February 2016 (UTC).
- @Tlhslobus: Here is an SVG version. The SVG file can be edited using a text editor to add, subtract, or move countries between the various categories using the two-letter country code, formatted as lowercase with a preceding dot (i.e., Mexico would be ".mx" without the quotation marks) in the CSS sheets at the start of the file. I took the country list directly from the Long and short scales article, so there are a few differences versus the current PNG:
- Greenland and Antarctica are not listed in the article, hence I left them grey .
- Brazil, Brunei, and Myanmar appear to use a variant of "billion" and not "milliard" so I colored those the lighter red instead of the darker red .
- Let me know what you think. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 17:00, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
-
- Thanks, Mliu92, great work. But one minor problem and one query. All your changes seem fine except Antarctica, which the continents section of the article describes as using both scales, so it was correctly shown in purple, so could you please restore that. (I had a go at restoring it myself, but my antiquated computer seemingly insists on converting svg to png when downloading). Once you have restored it I'll use your map in the article, and I'll also describe your remaining changes in Talk just in case anyone wants to undo some of them and can find reliable sources (or perhaps other similar good reasons) to justify doing so. I'm not sure whether I should also copy to Talk your advice on how to change the map (I fear, perhaps unnecessarily, that making such changes too easy might facilitate vandals or POV warriors) - any thoughts on that?. Tlhslobus (talk) 08:48, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- I notice that all the Arabic countries are described as short scale but using 'milyar' for billion (10^9), and should thus probably be darker red instead of lighter red as currently shown. So if you would like to make that change please do, tho if it's too much hassle please leave it, and I can then think about whether I want to bother submitting another request. Tlhslobus (talk) 10:20, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

-
- @Tlhslobus: I've updated the file with the purple color for Antarctica. This was pretty simple to fix. When the browser was downloading the file as a PNG, were you saving the rendered version? The SVG can be downloaded by going to the file at Commons and then clicking on the "Original File" link.
- Regarding your concern for potential vandalism, I admit I hadn't thought of that possibility. Editing the SVG would require some basic working knowledge of XML, although I tried to lay it out as simply as possible. When you open the SVG you will find these lines towards the top of the file (according to my text editor, they start at line # 145):

- You would move the country code from one category to another in order to change the color. It is not difficult but it is also not obvious and I would postulate that fixing vandalism would be fairly simple (you can always revert changes to earlier versions of graphics).
- Also note the Arabic-speaking countries (Algeria = .dz; Bahrain = .bh; etc.) are already listed as "short scale + milliard" countries (the darker red, which is hex color #DC143C ). I'm happy to iterate versions here if more changes are needed.

Russia Southern Federal District : Template(?) problem
We have two versions of Russia, Southern Federal District. They differ slightly by lat/long.
- Map1 has relief but does not allow multiple icons
- Map2 allows multiple icons but does not allow relief (at least by what I tried)
- The originator of Map1 was able to make multiple icons on Map1 on the Russian Wiki (Commons User=Hellerick/ discussion/ last line/ click). He used "alt=physical" and Cyrillic map names. Is there a way to combine relief and multiple icons on the English Wiki? Either Map1 or Map2 would work.

Savannah River
In the WP article Savannah River, the primary map of the Savannah River Watershed is beyond minimalist. It should at least include two city labels, Augusta and Savannah, which are both discussed repeatedly in the article. Also, two state labels (Georgia and South Carolina) wouldn't hurt. I'm having trouble locating the map and editing this myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Mason.Jones (talk) 19:42, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

- I need to make the map uniformly red (50% transparency) as are other maps at commons:IUCN distribution maps of Gastropoda (that I uploaded by myself). I think it is caused by the SHP file. I will send you the SHP file on request. You will send me corrected SHP file back and I will finish the work. OK? -- Snek01 (talk) 22:19, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- Elk Township is accidentally left transparent in all maps of this collection, except of course for its own. Could you make it white like all the other townships? I tried to do it by editing the SVG in Notepad, merely copy/pasting the hexadecimal color from another township, but I made a mistake and don't know what I did wrongly.

Done. Rather oddly, I noticed the author had kept non-visible layers in the file which contained raster maps. I have absolutely no idea why these were there, but noticed that after removing them the file size went down to 79KB (a 98% reduction!). I've uploaded it over File:Vinton County Ohio incorporated and unincorporated areas.svg as an example. I'm not sure whether to go ahead and do it to all of them. It may be worth asking the original author what they are doing in the file. Jolly Ω Janner 08:40, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks! I had previously asked the uploader, who responded Elk Township doesn't have a colour (it is transparent) because when I was drawing the map I seem to have failed to turn it white. It doesn't matter enough to have to change the whole lot, though. Since I found the situation confusing, I disagreed with "doesn't matter enough", obviously. Final request, Jolly Janner: would you mind editing File:Vinton County Ohio incorporated and unincorporated areas Elk Township highlighted.svg to get rid of the raster layer there? I didn't request it earlier because I thought it was merely a mistake with the coloring; if you could reduce its file size significantly, that would be helpful.

Request: SVG Map of North and Central America with state boundaries
Hi, I need a map of North America which covers all of the territory seen in this photo, but without the range of the Fraxinus drawn in, and with state boundaries within in Mexico. Basically the map would combine the two second files in the below gallery (except without the Cuba inlay).·maunus · snunɐɯ· 22:54, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
Upon enlarging the text in the maps becomes garbled
- Article(s)
- Request
For those who have time on their hands.
The Category:Maps by United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs is filled with maps from around the world. It came under my attention because there are watermarks in the images. I (and others) have been busy removing the watermarks from the images.
Until I remarked that upon enlarging the image, parts of the text in the images becomes garbled up. See the above mentioned images at 2000px. The reason for this is that the text is probably pasted into the images. When one takes a look into the stroke paint it says: "Stroke paint: Unset paint (make it undefined so it can be inherited). No fill and no stroke paint.
There is the additional problem that there are many empty elements in the images.
So, for those who have nothing to do, there is a challenge here.

Commons counties maps have odd county borders
I forked c:File:Democratic Party presidential primaries results by county, 2016.svg and c:File:Republican Party presidential primaries results by county, 2016.svg from c:File:USA Counties.svg. However, it looks like that map's borders are mixed into all sorts of objects, which is making editing the files very difficult. Try to open either in Inkscape and you will see how difficult it is to select a county.
I tried the ungroup function in Inkscape but no matter what I've tried, it's causing more problems.
Can someone fix the maps or redraw them from a good source? Magog the Ogre (t • c) 23:42, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Done. I revamped the maps, so the counties should be much easier to edit.—SPESH531Other 06:12, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Southeast Asia Map Circa 1750

- Request
- Requesting a map of Southeast Asia c1750. The Kingdom of Lan Xang was divided into three kingdoms: Luang Prabang, Vientiane, and Champasak (with the province of Xieng Khouang in Modern Laos being a possible fourth). I tried contacting the editor that produced the original maps for Southeast Asia but haven't ever received a response. There currently is only one map on the internet showing this historical period and it is inaccurate. There are a number of maps showing the division, but can be difficult to find (I can email photos of the pages). Page 17 of A History of Laos, by Martin Stuart Fox (ISBN: 978-0-521-59235-2) is most widely available. I can send additional details if someone (please) picks up the request-- StampyElephant (talk) 14:28, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Map of South America
In the article History of South America, there is a map near the beginning of the article with this caption:
- European states claimed sovereignty over South America, 1700
(Please be aware that, since this article is undergoing copy-editing and an overhaul by various editors, the wording of that caption may change.)
The map shows the areas of South America that were under the control of various European countries between 1700 and (I guess) the present. The coloring on the map changes as the time progresses. However, it changes so quickly that it is hard to take in the information available on the map. If you're looking at the year at the top, you miss the change in the map. If you're looking at the changes in the map, you miss the year. I'm wondering if someone could slow the map down a bit. That's all. – Corinne (talk) 01:58, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
