Can you specify to what extent you will need to be able to zoom into the map? Reliefs don't usually look good at a wide range of scales: At small scales, they need to be generalised much more than at large scales. Even if it's a vector relief, zooming into a small scale relief would look too smooth, and zooming out of a large scale relief would look too noisy. If you can specify the area of the most zoomed in map, it would be possible to generate a relief of the whole area of interest with the right level of detail.--Tentotwo (talk) 23:57, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Good on you for persevering! You can make your job a fair bit easier if you stitch the maps together first, using the raster calculator. Then you only have to apply your operations to one layer.--Tentotwo (talk) 13:40, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Request: Create a map of worldwide Naval Criminal Investigative Service locations. A basic map is available on the NCIS website here. If you wish to be more accurate from the get-go, each of the 14 locations has an individual page below the map with their physical address listed. NCIS has many more offices under the 14 major offices, however, I think that listing the 14 major field offices is good for now.
Request: The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto ("Metro Toronto") existed from 1954 until 1997. It consisted originally of 13 member municipalities, of which 7 were eliminated in 1967 by merging them into their larger neighbors. I think, but cannot confirm, that there was exactly one change to the outer boundary of Metro Toronto during its existence, annexing a small section of Pickering. I believe that the article on Metro Toronto should have maps showing both the initial and final configurations, with the names of the 13 and the remaining 6 members. Alternatively, the two maps could be combined as one (e.g. using thin lines for the boundaries eliminated in 1967), and the Pickering boundary change might also be shown on the same map.
There is an existing map in Wikipedia, File:Toronto_map.png, that shows the boundaries as they were in the era of 6 member municipalities. So this is part of what I'm asking for, but it labels things from a
present-day perspective rather than a Metro-era perspective. In particular, what was then simply Toronto (in full, the City of Toronto) is labeled as "Old Toronto", and an inset shows the map in the context of a "Greater Toronto Area", a term barely coming into use at the end of the Metro era.
Currently, variations of this map are placed in some but not all of the articles for former member municipalities of Metro. For example, East York shows it with post-1967 East York (including the former Leaside) in red; Leaside shows it with pre-1967 Leaside in red; Mimico does not use it at all. Because of the use of "Old Toronto", this map is actually anachronistic in these articles.
If the map or maps I'm asking for were created, it/they could be used to derive maps for all of the former municipalities, in particular including the ones that were eliminated in 1967.
Request: If I were to post a map of Batavia (Jakarta) in 1740 from a book, could someone here do an SVG version? The map is under copyright so it cannot be used as-is. Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:38, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Request: A tighter crop around the actual hotspot trail, which is the bulge heading off from Hawaii in the center of the image; but not too aggressive as I want to keep locational context. Thanks, ResMar19:48, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Request: We really don't seem to have a USSR map that works with location map. I want to plot Soviet/Russian early warning radars to demonstrate their geographical spread on the periphery of the USSR, and hence that most are now outside the Russian Federation. I can see that it would be useful for others too. Secretlondon (talk) 21:11, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I ask if you could making the image that is above, a topographic map of Batna in SVG, thank you all Vikoula5 (talk) 00:15, 21 October 2011 ::
The location map to be used as a pushpin for places within Chongqing Municipality, PRC.
Potential source(s): See the above image. Be wary when making the map for Anhui, though.
Articles: For example, the map [[File:China Gansu location map.svg]] can be used in the infoboxes of articles that transcribe {{Gansu-geo-stub}}.
Request: Create similar location maps for the remaining Chinese provinces (including the other three municipalities); Henan and Shanxi (i.e. 山西) are the least of our worries since there exist {{Location map China Henan}} and {{Location map China Shanxi}}. In terms of timing, I am not too picky, but please do not leave WP:CHINA waiting 5 months for a single map, as the last location map was uploaded in September.

Graphist opinion(s):
a blank world map in svg with the european Union striped?
similar map with similar problems (now in svg, but I could redraw in svg if I had the striped template...)
Article(s): for use on ACTA, but the blank version also for use on Cape Town Treaty
Request: The European Union has several mixed treaties: treaties in which both the European Union and its 27 member states are party. Furthermore, there are several multilateral conventions to which both the EU and its members are/may become parties. This easily leads to complicated maps. For example the ACTA map would (in absence of the EU-things) have only two colours: those countries that signed (pink) and those that may sign (blue). Now it has two more: countries covered by the signature of the EU (orange) and countries covered by that signature, which also signed themselves (green). As an alternative I'd like to have the European Union striped on an svg map, so that we can put country signatures in 1 coulour (whether in EU or not). Could someone make such a blank map (I could add the country colouring myself)? NB: the US map is given as an example. However in this case, I'd prefer the stripes to be continuous (not to have a visible different striping pattern at country borders), and maybe a thinner line/more whitespace. Thanks!

Graphist opinion(s): Done The .jpg version was a bit confusing as It made Barotseland look as a country on its own. So I used a trasparent layer over the current political boundaries to express Barotseland - ArnoldPlaton (talk) 18:00, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Woops, my bad. forget to include the contradictory map. As you can see map 1 and 3 contradict each other. need to have the 2 maps on the same area...either 3 maches 1 OR 1 maches 3Lihaas (talk) 05:09, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The reason for varying depictions of the extent of Tuareg settlement is because these areas are among the harshest in the Sahara desert, meaning sparse population density and that most of the inhabitants are nomads (and thus difficult to get reliable census data on). I don't think the contradiction is too much of a problem, because there's no objective accuracy that we could obtain in any case. --Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds21:31, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not having heard back, I'm calling this "done" at this point, and have included the map in the article. If you want changes, let me know and I can update the map. Keithpickering (talk) 20:21, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
