Trams in Luxembourg
Request
The tram network was extended to Lycée Bonnevoie on 11 September and so the maps need updating.[1] The stop currently named as "Hippodrome" on the map needs to renamed "Leschte Steiwer/Dernier Sol" and the "Lycée Bonnevoie" stop needs to be renamed "Lycée Bouneweg", as per their officially revealed new names.[2] The under construction stops of "Aeroport de Luxembourg-Findel", "Ban de Gasperich", "Howald" and "Cloche d'Or" in the current iteration of the map, have also been respectively renamed "Findel Aéroport", "Wassertuerm", "Howald Gare" and "Stadion".[2] It would also be great to have a version of the map with an English-language legend in the bottom right for the Enlgish-language wikipedia. This should be built from the French map, as French-place names in Luxembourg are more common used by English-speakers (the "centre de remisage" label, will obviously just become "Tram depot").

Unified Patent Court (amongst others)
Request
In articles about treaties and multinational courts we often use svg files that are adaptalbe without knowing the fine points of svg-editing. For example, in the top of the EUpatent image shown above the green-colored countries are indicated by the line:
.at, .be, .bg, .dk, .ee, .fi, .fr, .it, .lv, .lt, .lu, .nl, .pt, .si, .se {fill:#0088cc}

This allows for easy changes once the partication to the court changes. I want to be able to use the syntax shown above to colour countries, combined with using the location map for court locations as is used with the template:Location map+-template (see picture to the right). However, the coordinate system/settings are not combinable, leading to maps the picture to the right (below). Is it possible to adapt File:EUpatent.svg so it can be used with the location map template? It is not just for this example, but I'd be able to use it a lot on other treaty based maps as well...

@L.tak: If I understood you well, you want a customizable location map that is similar to this one. Am I correct? M.Bitton (talk) 14:07, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Exactly M.Bitton; and customisable in the sense that countries are easily coloured as is done in the other picture I showed... L.tak (talk)
In that case, rather than make a new one, I'll see whether it's possible to make the current location map customizable. M.Bitton (talk) 22:53, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
@L.tak:   Done I gave up on customizing the current map after I discovered that its borders don't line up with the contour of the countries (noticeable when you zoom in on them), instead, I created a new one (that could potentially be a drop-in replacement for the other). Please have a look and let me know what you think. M.Bitton (talk) 01:47, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi i am just wondering can sombody make a map using of https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2c/Australia_Victoria_location_map_colored_by_type.svg with each council/government colored in the color of the largest faction of that council? such as Red would be Labor the largest party, Blue Liberal, Green for the Greens and grey for Independents as the largest faction in the council. La lopi (talk) 07:31, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Here are the colors of the councils.

I will add more further, onces the map is started.La lopi (talk) 14:49, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

@La lopi: Would it be ok with you if I use a blank map instead, so no rivers, lakes, etc? —twotwofourtysix(talk || edits) 05:33, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

@Twotwofourtysix: Yes You could do that. Thanks.La lopi (talk) 04:44, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

@La lopi: Alright, I've uploaded a prototype of the map, based on the provided data. I'll improve/add onto it overtime once all LGAs have been filled in. —twotwofourtysix(talk || edits) 08:09, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

@Twotwofourtysix: Looks Good, Here are the following ones.

La lopi (talk) 10:40, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

That's done. I believe the others either have different factions tied for largest or appointed administrators, right? I couldn't check the rest. —twotwofourtysix(talk || edits) 05:53, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
Yes thats correct, from what i saw. I was wondering maybe soon i might ask for a similar kind of map but one for NSW. Would that be Ok with You??.La lopi (talk) 12:15, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
That would be fine but you should finish the list here first. —twotwofourtysix(talk || edits) 14:09, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
What more needs to be finished?? like you said before the council's not in color are either have different factions tied for largest or appointed administrators.La lopi (talk) 04:23, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Well, you could distinguish between the two by adding more colours but in case you don't want to do that, I'll do it myself then. —twotwofourtysix(talk || edits) 06:48, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Ok, Looking at my list these ones we didn't fill up.

hope this helps. would do you think we should do.La lopi (talk) 09:52, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Ok, that's done, I think. —twotwofourtysix(talk || edits) 11:43, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
@Twotwofourtysix: Looks really good, Thanks. would it be ok in tomorrow we start a NSW Map??. La lopi (talk) 14:23, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Should be alright; NSW should be easier in finding party faction information. —twotwofourtysix(talk || edits) 14:51, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
@Twotwofourtysix: Ok Here we start, for the NSW Map, Which map do you have for it by the way???.

Will add more once again when the map is started. La lopi (talk) 10:14, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

@La lopi:Well.. I think I've done it. —twotwofourtysix(talk || edits) 14:21, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
@Twotwofourtysix: Wow that was very first, becouse that was fast might as well we should do another map. which map do you think we should do next?? Queensland or South Australia???.La lopi (talk) 02:34, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
I've briefly looked into both of those states and there's probably no point in creating maps for them because only Brisbane doesn't have a composition of mostly independents. —twotwofourtysix(talk || edits) 10:43, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
@Twotwofourtysix: Yes you might be right, i checked out Western Australia and Tasmania and it looks like the same deal with 99% of them independents. Anyway thanks for making these two maps and have a good new year. thanks. La lopi (talk) 22:49, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

  • Texas
  • Utah
  • Virginia
  • Washington
  • West Virginia

Citizenship requirements to become Governor of a US State
So, La lopi, here is a first draft. I changed your colors, where green means "No requirement", yellow means "citizenship required", and orange means "citizenship for X years is required". This seemed to me a more logical colorscheme, with green being easiest and orange being hardest to become governor. You forgot California in your list, so I checked it myself, and it has a 5 year requirement or just citizenship requirement, is a complicated legal situation that can't be explained in a map. Lommes (talk) 18:45, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
I just did a spot check, and you grouped Connecticut as "just citizenship", however your source says its in the "no requirement" category. I already corrected Connecticut, but please double-check your list (and my work of course!), and tell me what changes are needed (if any). Cheers! Lommes (talk) 18:49, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
There is further complications. Many of the states you listed as "No requirement on Citizenship" need the candidate to be a registered voter. But according to https://www.usa.gov/who-can-vote (which seems an authoritative source) only US citizens can vote. Please do another check on this, so we are not accidentally giving out misinformation here. Lommes (talk) 19:01, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
Hi the Map is looking good, On you issues you have talked about, i would say we could go on two paths to fix this matter, (1) maybe i should have said Explicit qualification for the office of governor on Citizenship, that would clear this matter, or (2) maybe we could for those states (that don't have a explicit citizenship required But that have the candidate to be a registered voter. they could be in the same box as California it is a complicated legal situation). Which path do you think we should take??. La lopi (talk) 03:42, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

@La lopi Sorry, had totally forgotten about this. Please always tag me when answering. Unfortunately I can't continue right now, have too much on my plate outside wikipedia. Apologies. If I were you, i'd go to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Politics and ask them for help regarding what to do. Then, once you find a solution to our problem, request this again here.

Hi Goran tek-en, The base image comes from Openstreetmap and I've just used Paint to block out some of the green lines that run across the sea there - there is still a residue of some of those that run around the coastline, which should be removed. If there can be two decent location pins used instead of the ungainly blobs I've dropped on there (I couldn't even work out how to get them the same size!), that would be perfect. If it's also possible to put in a legend to say which pin is HMS Osprey and which is the Admiralty Underwater Weapons Establishment, that would be even better, unless there isn't enough space to do it clearly. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 17:15, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
@SchroCat I will create a new svg map using OSM as base so I can put in what ever information you want but still do you more or less want what is present in the OSM map? --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:27, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Goran tek-en
HMS Osprey was at 50.568517, -2.448254. It was a naval base on Portland (the RN often called land bases as HMS xxx) some whose buildings still remain - there was also a landing pad there, which is still present on modern maps/satellite images. (See also this outline, including images, etc)
AUWE was a large research facility (lots of buildings, etc) at 50.528736, -2.452467. It has been repurposed now and appears on modern maps as Southwell Business Park. (See also this).

@Treetoes023: what's wrong with the ones that are already available (see one, two and probably others)? M.Bitton (talk) 20:36, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
@M.Bitton: The Japanese archipelago does not share the same border as the country of Japan, the Japanese archipelago only includes the islands of the Northeastern Japan Arc, Southwestern Japan Arc, and Ryukyu Arc. I actually did make a mistake though, the example image I provided outlines the border of Japan and not the Japanese archipelago. I have been having trouble finding an image that outlines the Japanese archipelago and not the country of Japan. Treetoes023 (talk) 23:08, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
@M.Bitton: Actually I am canceling this request because the Japanese archipelago's article does not use a consistent definition so I cannot be certain that the definition I requested is correct. Treetoes023 (talk) 23:16, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
