This is a crummy JPG map with massive whitespace. Could you use the late-2000s municipalities SVG map to create a new file conveying the same information? Nyttend (talk) 01:48, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For various reasons, the FA discussion on this article has resulted in most of its images being removed. As a possible alternative, I'd quite like to have a map of Japan labelled with the important sites in the subject's life, to allow readers to see where he was and when. Please could someone create a map of Japan (perhaps based on File:Japan location map with side map of the Ryukyu Islands.svg?) with the following locations labelled:
I was reading the article on Kingdom of Lindsey, and looking at the map in that article. Then I clicked on a link to Lindisfaras and saw the same map. At the top of the article on Lindisfaras, someone has left a note that the map legend is incorrect, that it should say 10m, not 100m. I wonder if someone could look into this and see if that statement is correct, and, if it is, whether it would be possible to correct the legend on the map. Here is the map:
I can do the conversion, but it's not clear to me what needs translating. For example:
"Îles aux Œufs" is a local placename, and should be left as is
"O C E A N P A C I F I Q U E" should be translated as "P A C I F I C O C E A N"
"Ancienne station météo" should be translated as "former weather station"
but should '"Trou « Sans Fond »' be left as is, translated as '"Bottomless Hole"', or something else? Maproom (talk) 15:14, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Maproom: Thank you for helping! On the German version, the Trou « Sans Fond » is not translated at all, but on the Spanish version, it is translated as Agujero « Sin Fondo ». The WP page for the island says "The lagoon is devoid of fish, and contains some deep basins ... including a spot known as Trou-Sans-Fond, or "the bottomless hole", with acidic water at its base." There's also a French language webpage about the "trou" here. I'm not sure if that helps or not, but I don't think "bottomless hole" is a good translation for it. My opinion (with limited French knowledge) is that it should probably left as it is unless a better translation can be found. Can't it be edited later if a translation is found?

Sure it can. I'll aim to get it done today, leaving this things alone if I'm not sure. Maproom (talk) 17:14, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Now uploaded, see above. It may be best to wait for a week or two before using it, my uploads sometimes get deleted because I've done the bureaucracy wrong. Maproom (talk) 20:01, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Maproom: Thank you for that! That's great! It'll be of great use on the article. Seagull123 Φ 14:03, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This map is in German, but an English version should be created. There are many such maps needing translation; is this a good place to post them? Translations are as follows: ursprüngliche Verbreitung = original distribution, heutige Verbreitung = current distribution, Breitmaulnashorn = white rhinoceros, Spitzmaulnashorn = black rhinoceros, Panzernashorn = Indian rhinoceros, Java-Nashorn = Javan rhinoceros, Sumatra-Nashorn = Sumatran rhinoceros. The taxonomic names, of course, remain unchanged. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:29, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I could do one or two of these, but the prospect of doing many is unappealing. The task would be significantly easier if the image were a well-constructed SVG rather than a PNG; and impossible (for me anyway) if it were a badly machine-generated SVG of the form all too commonly seen on this page. The translation of "heutige" as "current" is technically correct, but with the ranges regrettably shrinking from year to year, it would be better to give the actual date. Maproom (talk) 07:06, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This one is on a rather prominent page (rhinoceros), so I think it would be a relative priority. I do hope that somebody would be interested in doing others as well, though. And I agree about the "current" range; maybe one could say "as of 2012", when the image was made (although my understanding is that it was somewhat too optimistic even for 2012, but conclusive data are lacking). —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 21:38, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think if you are interested in seeing these maps translated, this a good place to post them. I recommend you post only a couple at a time based on the priority you give them. Auguel (talk) 02:44, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a SVG map of Queen Maud Land, a territorial claim in Antarctica by Norway. There is a small portion between the claim borders and the South Pole which is blank, however in 2015 Norway officially claimed that area. I'm not able to manipulate the image with Inkscape to update it. Could you please help me? The new image should be saved with a different name, e.g. Antarctica, Norway territorial claim (2015).svg-- Carnby (talk) 15:15, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I wish to request a map of Kushite Egypt circa 700 BC. This old map isn't in line in terms of quality with other wikipedia maps as it does not show the entire Kingdom. It's also quite antiquated looking. A correct map can be found here, with Kushite Egypt (the area needed) shaded in brown. If you could mark in the same cities as on the old map that would be great too. Thanks a lot! HeathIsling 19:08, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, the only map we have of the Gulf of Oman is a tiny (250 × 115 pixel) PNG. It would be great if we could get something higher resolution or even an SVG. -- Kaldari (talk) 18:20, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Do you want the same extension of the new map or more closed in?
Do you want the the small world positioning map in it also?
Please ping me when you replay, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:40, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en: I think a bit more closed in would be good. Keeping the small world positioning map would be nice. See File:Baltic_Sea_map.png for example, which works well. Kaldari (talk) 19:41, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en: That's pretty great. Could you make the boundary line dotted or dashed instead of solid? Also I think having square corners would be better than rounded. Thank you! Kaldari (talk) 16:44, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Kaldari: Which boundary line, be more specific as there are more than one.
Rounded or squared corners is something different people like differently, I prefer rounded. So if it not really really important for you I would like to keep them, that's how I work here. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:36, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en: I mean the boundary line between the Gulf of Oman and the surrounding water. I'm worried that the solid boundary will confuse some people into thinking the area is land instead of water. I'm fine with the rounded corners if you prefer them, I just haven't seen that before on Wikipedia maps and wanted to try to be consistent with other maps, but it's your call. Kaldari (talk) 18:51, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Kaldari: I try to keep to the convention of a location map on this one. In that case the area of interest should be kind of yellow but nearly almost that is land, now we have water. So I have made a new draft. Maybe you have to refresh the browser to get the new one, it should be blue striped. Give me feed back, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 21:18, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en: That's perfect! Even better than my original idea. Kaldari (talk) 22:53, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, the borders of Egypt/Libya/Sudan on the above-left map of the British Empire in 1921 do not reflect the borders of the time. Could someone please rectify that, using the above-right blank map. Thanks. User:Snow Lion Fenian

Done – though I am suspicious of the borders which appear to show Libya as divided into three entities. Maproom (talk) 16:29, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Maproom: Could you lease put in the code {{resolved|1=~~~~}} when you have Done a request as this triggers the archive function, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:47, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Goran tek-en: I will do so in future. But I see that the templated comment immediately below says "{{Done}}: when the request is done." Maproom (talk) 16:01, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Maproom: Thanks, yes there is a problem that not all that make a request uses the "New request" link on the top of the page. This link provides the request with all the code that we all need to work with it. One should put out both the the Done and the Resolved code ones it's completed. I try to remind requester's of this when they forget to use the link. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:36, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Maproom:@Kintetsubuffalo: Of course it is up to the requester to say when a request is completed. But normally you have an ongoing dialog and together you decide when something is completed. Often the graphic worker is the last to edit the post when the new image is presented in the request. I think it's more important that it's completed than it always has to be the requester. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:24, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I shall revert to placing "done" templates.
A system that depends on requesters reading and obeying the official instructions (which I've never seen myself) is poor. A system that depends on responders assuming that the requester hasn't read them, when he hasn't read them himself, and then doing the requester's job for him (on the unwarranted assumption that the requester happy with what the responder did), is worse. Maproom (talk) 22:09, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Maproom: Well I don't really know how I should take that. It's a "advice" that the requester should mark it resolved, but the reality is that very often they don't. So my practice to get this to work is that when the requester and I agree on that a request is done I set the resolved code, not otherwise. There are people both here and at commons graphic lab that has to check the requests and mark them resolved because no one else does it, this is essential to get the archive function to work. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:20, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ok – if I mark a request as "done", and the requester either thanks me or lets a couple of months pass without complaining, I'll aim to mark it as "resolved". But I'm not promising to do so reliably. Maproom (talk) 17:11, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
