Graphics Lab/Map workshop

The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
This specific page is the requests page for the Map workshop. Anyone can make a request for a map to be created or improved for a Wikipedia article. The standard format for making a request is shown below, along with general advice, and should be followed.
You are encouraged to share information and request advice from others. Also see possible conventions toolbox, map tutorials and topographic map tutorials.

Advice to requesters

What do we do? Location maps Area maps (animals, languages, empires, etc.) Historical and conflict related maps Battle maps Technical maps (archaeology, city closeups, etc.) Sourced requests: If possible, please try to provide a reliable source to create a map. This includes a map already on Wikipedia with a reliable source or an external link. Please check: Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed. Direct collaboration: Some mapmakers are especially interested by one topic area. If you notice a mapmaker fitting your needs, consider asking on their personal talk page to request maps. {{Reqmap}}: To request a map, you can also tag the talk page of the article in need of a map with or {{Reqmapin|Australia}} (articles then appear in Category:Wikipedia requested maps) If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.

To make states and union territories boundaries more visible. Now it is almost same as for districts.--Kaiyr (talk) 16:30, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

@Kaiyr If the base map on Commons:file:Baiga distribution.svg has all the correct borders, you have to check and tell me!

we can use that and make a new svg version of the one you want.

To edit the present png file like you want is hard and for the future a svg version is so much better and easier to edit. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:12, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

• • My map with tehsil level (subdistrict). Your map in district level. I think it is only differet. You can make this map in this site also http://www.demographie.net/atlas2001/index.html --Kaiyr (talk) 14:06, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

    Unfortunately, the vast majority of people cannot, because modern web browsers removed support for Adobe Flash many years ago now. Remsense留 14:57, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

  • Ok. Lets try.--Kaiyr (talk) 16:00, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

@Kaiyr That link will not work for me. You have to help me here, I have zero knowledge about different divisions/levels in India.

• Have you checked what we have at commons regarding svg maps of India divided, check this category and all of its subcategories to see if you can find a better base map. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:06, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

I have cheked. Everyting is ok. Kaiyr (talk) 18:12, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

 Request taken by --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC).
Will be back with a draft. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

@Kaiyr I just want you to know I'm working on it but I have also been trying to find a vector map down to tehsils. I have now found a dataset which I'm converting to a usable svg which I can upload as a base map with the three different levels. We can then use that for your request and for future usage. So it will take some more time. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:20, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

.So @Kaiyr I now have a draft for you for the basemap down to tehsils.

----

Those drafts are PNG versions of the original SVG file I'm working in and will upload to commons.

Those drafts are shown for proofreading only.

----

The colors are picked so that they work for most people even with color deficiencies.

So check this basemap and let me know if it will work for you or what to edit, Draft basemap-1. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:48, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

@Kaiyr I would need your feedback per above, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:17, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

@Kaiyr I haven't got any feedback so now I have uploaded the basemap down to tehsils which can be used to create other maps, as I will use it to do your request here now.

You can find it here Inda states districts tehsils by census 2011.

• Please check all the information, also links for wikipedia, wikidata and structured data.

--always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:02, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

@Kaiyr I just want you to know I am working on your request. Your source map and the background map I'm using does not line up, also the tehsils are different in those maps and your source map has even smaller divisions in it. All of this makes it rather complex, difficult and circumstantial to create the svg map. But I have gotten a good bit on it and will continue, thanks for your patience. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 10:53, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

@Kaiyr

Now I have a Draft-1 for you to check. It was complex to redraw so really really check everything and give me feedback, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:27, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

I cant see state borders. Kaiyr (talk) 15:45, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

@Kaiyr Please Always ping me, thanks.

New Draft-2 with states. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:44, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

@Kaiyr

I haven't heard from you so I uploaded what I had. If you want anything edited just ping me, thanks.

Now you can find it here Commons:file:Percent of scheduled tribes in India-tehsils-census 2011.svg.

• Please check all the information, also links for wikipedia, wikidata and structured data.
• If you are happy with this please put the code {{re.solved|~~~~}} (without the ".") on this request so it can be archived, thanks.  Done

--always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:24, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

User:Goran tek-en Thank you very much. Could you add Andaman&Nicobar if aI upload here or send to you? Can we change per cent to more presice one? 20%, 40%, 60%,80%? Kaiyr (talk) 06:19, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

@Kaiyr Didn't see this until now, didn't get any ping, try the actual Ping {{ping|Goran tek-en}} the next time.

Sure we can do that, send me the info I need, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:21, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en:. I have updated png file with 20%, 40%, 60%,80% and added andaman and nicobar islands.--Kaiyr (talk) 10:15, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

@Kaiyr

Draft added-1.

If any of the colored areas (other than the islands) has changed you will have to tell me which, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:00, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

@Kaiyr I do need your feedback to be able to continue, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:53, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

I dont know which tehsils were changed. But I think only several. Kaiyr (talk) 17:19, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

2024 Tour de France Femmes

Request

Hi, I'm looking for someone to do a free version of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes map - the official one is here. The map would need to label Netherlands and Belgium, maybe showing those countries in a different colour to the bright yellow of France? I would also probably use The Hague rather than the French "La Haye". A good example is below from 2015. As previously, I asked Andrei loas who has previously done excellent maps (e.g. this for the 2015 men's race) if he could create one, but he hasn't got back to me unfortunately.

This is last years map, by the excellent M.Bitton.

The "local roads" are not shown in the above map. Did you mean something else? M.Bitton (talk) 10:49, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

I created this map on my mobile, that is not clear. I just want to request you to creat a map like this. Also it will be good if you can remove the rivers and other lines (local roads). Thank you.

Incidence (epidemiology)

Request

This video shows the incidence of a disease in different parts of Cambodia over time: it's basically a series of maps (seemingly 365 of them, since it's 52 per year for seven years, plus one at the end) in a simple sequence. Different areas have different colours showing how common this disease was in each part of the country at the given time. Inconveniently, the Gulf of Thailand is marked as blue; obviously this is all right for most maps of the country, but since this one relies on colours and doesn't assume or require any familiarity with Cambodian geography, it would be better if the Gulf were white, like the surrounding countries. Are you able to edit the video to whiten the Gulf of Thailand in all frames? Nyttend (talk) 19:43, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Distribution map for Limia species

I would be very grateful for a map showing the distribution of the following Limia species:

• Limia tridens
• Limia melanogaster
• Limia perugiae
• Limia melanotata
• Limia zonata

The source maps can be found here if you use Ctrl+F to search for the respective Limia species. I hope I am not asking for too many. Perhaps the rivers can be made blue and the Haiti-Dominican Republic border shown. The maps will be useful additions to our articles. Surtsicna (talk) 09:51, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Request

Among them, Albania, the Republic of Macedonia, the Dominican Republic, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Mongolia, Palau, Portugal, Rwanda, the Solomon Islands and Uganda actually supported the Iraq War in 2003. I suggest Change the color displayed on the map of all the 11 countries that supported the Iraq War in 2003 to yellow like Romania, Japan and South Korea.

Belgium, Turkey, India, Sweden and Finland were completely neutral during the 2003 Iraq War. I suggest changing the colors of these five wartime neutral countries during the Iraq War to gray like Kazakhstan, Thailand and Peru. .

In addition, Laos, Burma, Cambodia, the Republic of Cyprus, Armenia, New Zealand and Norway completely opposed the 2003 Iraq War. I suggest changing these seven countries that opposed the Iraq War to the same blue as Canada, France, Belarus and Russia.

Natchez District, Andrew Jackson and the slave trade in the United States

Request

Hello! I'm hoping to create a map of the colonial/territorial Natchez District of Mississippi to go with Andrew Jackson and the slave trade in the United States (and maybe Robards–Donelson–Jackson relationship controversy). The Natchez District was roughly where Warren, Claiborne, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Wilkinson, and Amite counties are today. The region was mapped intensely during the American Civil War but by then a lot of the colonial/territorial/Natchez Trace places were already shambling ruins so they don't appear or don't quite convey the historical geography. I'm also trying to convey a sense that in the 1788–1812 era this was very wide open, unsurveyed land that was still more Indigenous than colonized (leading to Andrew Jackson's later key role in Indian Removal), etc.

KEY HUMAN SETTLEMENTS

• Natchez - GNIS 0691586
• Old Greenville - GNIS 1782013
• Bruinsburg - GNIS 691732
• Washington - GNIS 679358
• Port Gibson (south fork of Bayou Pierre) - GNIS 0676254
• Grindstone Ford (north fork of Bayou Pierre) - 32.002778, -90.896111
• Fort Adams - GNIS 670108
• Petit Gulf (name changed from Petit Gulf to Rodney in 1828) - GNIS 676809
• Grand Gulf - GNIS 670578
• Walnut Hills (name changed from Walnut Hills to Vicksburg in 1825) - 0679216

KEY GEOGRAPHIC FEATURES

• Mississippi River
• Big Black River
• Bayou Pierre
• Coles Creek
• Fairchild Creek
• St. Catherines Creek

• Homochitto River
• 31st parallel
• Bayou Sara

The Mississippi River and other watercourses have very rudely moved many times since these places were settled (Rodney is now 3 miles inland etc), so it is messy overlaying these ghost towns on a current map but oh well.
