Request: Please update the SVG map, and change the colors to match the gif. Connormah (talk) 05:02, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): I see that the gif map is used in most Wikipedias and the svg map is used only on the French version. My concern is that neither map is referenced. Maybe the French map is (more) correct. Is there any reference that anyone could provide which could validate either map? MapMaster (talk) 21:41, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The SVG gives the gif as its source on its description page, so it looks like it was a poorly done SVGification attempt. Kmusser (talk) 22:17, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Article(s):

Request: Can someone link to (or create) a map of countries of Europe as for a child? Just as books for children first starting to read have very little text, which itself is as simple as possible ("the dog is small, the cat is big") can someone link to a simplified map of Europe, as for a child, which simple has each country in a different solid color and not text or features other than the names of the countries, NOT abbreviated. I've seen many maps that fit my requirements, except for this last point: ALL the ones I could find assume you already know the country and so that it is fair to abbreviate it, or maybe just put a number correspondig to/a line connecting It directly with a legend. I feel this unnecessarily complicates things, makes it hard to learn the name of the countries. Is there a map somewhere (or could you create one) which is large enough for each country actually to contain it's own name in readable type? Some near misses:
[1] (closest to what I have in mind; problems with this one: not all countries colored, several abbreviated).
[2] (not all countries labelled; I don't like that some adjacent countries have the same color) there are several other near misses, and them some real ugly ones where the names go way outside the border of the smaller countries, it is hard to tell which country is which. I would really like each name WELL inside its borders, even if that means the whole map has to be relatively big or the font relatively smaller (shouldn't be tiny though...)... Thank you for anything like that you might know of or be able to create for me :). Best wishes... 89.204.153.66 (talk) 17:33, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tikal site map

edit

Article(s): Tikal

Request: Tikal was relatively recently passed as GA, during the process the reviewer asked for a site map and the effort I produced, while functional, is pretty poor and lets down an otherwise nice article on an important and well known archaeological site. Any help producing a better map would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Simon Burchell (talk) 19:46, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

References: An online version of part of the paper map I used is here. The paper version was taken from the following, which is a Spanish translation of an English-language book, I believe the English title is Tikal, a handbook of the ancient Maya ruins, with a guide map.

Maryland General Assembly

edit

Article(s): Maryland House of Delegates, Maryland Senate, Maryland General Assembly

Request: The first two images are incredibly hard to read. The third generic one which shows both Senate and House of Delegates is easier to read but could be vectorized / improved. It'd be great to have them all made into the same exact style with the only differences being the coloring. I think vectorization would make future changes much easier if anyone is up for the task. gren グレン 04:08, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Could someone please splice the maps in each particular gallery with the other one(s) in that gallery? Sorry it's a large request, and it can be treated as multiple requests if desired. Also, please leave the red shading in the counties. Thanks in advance, Ks0stm (TCG) 19:09, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): So you mean make county maps with those states put together? TastyCakes (talk) 18:44, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a first attempt above. I figure the easiest way to do this is to highlight the ones you're talking about for each article (light pink for other weather services, red for the one in question). Does that work? I'm not totally clear what the map is for, is it just to show where the national weather services are located? TastyCakes (talk) 19:14, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
See for example the map on National Weather Service Wichita, Kansas. Ks0stm (TCG) 20:52, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry I'm still not sure what you want. You want a map like at this article, but you want it for multiple weather services? And the new weather services have only a couple of counties but they are in different states? TastyCakes (talk) 21:41, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I can fill in the counties myself, but what I need help with is getting each set (separately) put together. Each of the created maps are necessary because the weather services have county warning areas in multiple states...the first is for Goodland, Kansas (Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado), the second for Hastings, NE (Nebraska and Kansas), the third for Pleasant Hill, MO (Missouri and Kansas) and the fourth is for Springfield, MO (Missouri and Kansas)...I chose the counties highlighted because they are common within a county warning area...all that needs done is the maps in each gallery put together with the other maps in that gallery. Ks0stm (TCG) 01:22, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so how about I take the big US county map and delete all the states you don't want and then resize it? TastyCakes (talk) 18:28, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I've made a preliminary version. Can someone confirm if the route and station locations are correct? The route might be correct but I'm pretty sure some of the stations are in the wrong places.

Looks pretty good to me, only thing I see that's missing is the loop through the central bus station along Wood St., it's a bit ambiguous on [3], but pretty clear on [4] - I think the Wood St. stop should be more or less where the blue bus icon is on openstreetmap.

Bog Turtle Distribution Map

edit
  Resolved

Article(s): Bog turtle

Request: I was here once before to have the first image (a crude drawing on a white sheet of paper) transformed into the beautiful map being used in the current Bog turtle article. However, this article is a current featured article candidate and a concern has been left that, since this is a map of a species' distribution, it should be shown on a geographical map as opposed to a political map. I am leaving this here for two reasons: does anyone agree with the concern, and if there is merit to it and it deserves a change, for it to go ahead and be changed. NYMFan69-86 (talk) 23:23, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I'm not sure what the commentator meant by geographical map (all maps are geographical) - if they meant topographic map, that would be cool but probably not necessary. Most of the existing distribution maps are on a political base - the point of having state lines on there is to give the reader a point of reference. We could replace them with something biological like ecoregion boundaries but I don't think they'd be a good reference then because most people won't recognize them. Kmusser (talk) 19:16, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think he or she meant something similar to the distribution map in the taxonomy box of the Hawksbill turtle article. However, I am not sure this is the best solution in our case since the map is in such a concentrated area (the eastern U.S.). Would you agree?--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 19:36, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I definitely think you should stick with eastern U.S. - those would just be tiny dots on a world map. A case could be made for doing away with the state borders, but I'd be in favor of keeping them. Kmusser (talk) 20:00, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As am I. This will be mentioned to the person. Thanks so much for your advice. This request can be removed or deemed fixed.--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 21:06, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As well as the inclusion of state borders, they might mean how Canada has been left off. I think that's a little unusual in a species distribution map, even if it is only found in America. TastyCakes (talk) 12:21, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, adding Canada for more context would be an improvement. I don't have time to tackle that at the moment though. Kmusser (talk) 13:50, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This discussion has actually been had before, that's why the current caption reads "Bog turtle distribution. The range does not extend beyond the Canada–US border." People seem content with that.--NYMFan69-86 (talk) 01:28, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
