Create new Holodomor-affected map[edit]

Stale
 – DyceBot (talk) 07:47, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Article(s): Holodomor; History of Ukraine

Request: File:Holodomor Famine map.jpg is a nonfree image used to illustrate rates of population decline in different regions of the USSR from 1929 to 1933. This is a nonfree image, used partially because "The map is extremely significant because it shows the sourced information about the death rates during Holodomor. Any self-made maps would almost certainly spark a controversy as an original research. It would be very difficult to validate accuracy of a self-made map as the original source is an obscure, not available online or in the most libraries". Since this isn't a valid reason for using a nonfree map, I'd appreciate it if someone could create a new map showing the same data, using this map as a source for rates of decline and citing the "source" line in the image description as the source for the new freely-licensed map.

Celtic Nations[edit]

Resolved

Article(s):

Request: Create a new file by colouring the eight Celtic nations (Scotland, Ireland. Brittany, Wales, Cornwall, Isle of Man, Galicia and Asturias) in green. Plus remove the Republic of Ireland-Northern Ireland border.

Graphist opinion(s):  Done: Since it is unclear why you wanted the N.I./Eire border removed, and Galicia and Asturias only sometimes considered Celtic nations, I have done four versions - one with only Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Wales, Cornwall and the Isle of Man with all national borders in place, one with only Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Wales, Cornwall and the Isle of Man with all national borders removed, one which includes the Spanish regions (with all borders) and one which includes the Spanish regions (with all borders removed). If you have a particular reason for removing only the border between N.I. and Eire just leave a message on my talk page and I'll be sure to accommodate you.

Mines of the Somerset Coalfield[edit]

Resolved
 – -- Orionisttalk

Article(s): Somerset Coalfield

Request: Could anyone create a map of the mines of the Somerset Coalfield. The locations are shown on the map above and in the drop down tables on the article. I took the photo above, with verbal permission to use it on wikipedia, years ago of a map in a local museum & it has been cleaned up since, but I'm worried about the copyright status and it has no indication of scale or north. Could anyone produce a map perhaps showing the typography etc & perhaps the canal shown on File:Somerset Coal Canal Map.png? A few of us are currently trying to get the article to GA and the lack of a map is being discussed on the talk page.— Rod talk 20:05, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

{{I take|1=Keithpickering (talk) 06:58, 24 February 2012 (UTC) Is the greenish palette OK, or would you prefer another color to make it clear this is not the museum map?[reply]

Also, not having access to the original map, do you know what the darker green areas represent? Do they need to be reproduced? Keithpickering (talk) 08:48, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking this on. I don't think the background colour matters, but if some sort of colouring/shading to represent heights as on File:Somerset Coal Canal Map.png would be really nice. Looking in Down & Warrington (p40) the green areas appear to be the areas in which the upper coal measures outcrop, but I don't think it is needed.— Rod talk 09:25, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Being lazy, I took a relief palette I already had lying around, giving it a khaki background. If the relief is not enough, I can modify it to make it pop out more. Pretty much everything here can be changed to your taste (fonts, colors, sizes). There are two mines on the photo-map that are named, but I omitted those names; my feeling is that the map is already pretty dense, especially in the central area. (But I can include them if you wish). You were right that the photomap is rotated (about 2.2 degrees). This version is straight North-up, so I felt no need of a compass rose. Keithpickering (talk) 01:07, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, as you can see, I incorporated the canal map as well, though much of the detail is lost at this scale. Keithpickering (talk) 01:09, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One final note: I took the number and locations of the mines from the photomap rather than the article. There are considerable discrepancies between the photomap and the tables in the article, both as to numbers and location. Keithpickering (talk) 01:30, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. This looks brilliant. Are you happy for it to go into the article now? I will return to the coordinates as I now have another source (but in OS coords rather than lat & long).— Rod talk 08:15, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you're happy with this, please use the "mod2" version in your article, and I will request speedy delete on the first two. When the speedy deletes are done, I will rename the "mod2" version, and update with a few more small tweaks. Keithpickering (talk) 14:57, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And does that mean you want lat/lon coords on the map? I can put them there on the edge, or with gridlines if you wish, and include that with my tweaks update. Keithpickering (talk) 15:02, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've added it to the article - thanks. No I don't think it needs lat & long I just meant I will have to convert them.— Rod talk 20:54, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Revenue map for Bollywood films[edit]

Article(s): List of highest-grossing Bollywood films

Request:

I would like a WikiGraphist to create a new map which highlights the countries from which Bollywood films earn revenue. The color scheme will be something like this :-

Red - India (the main one)
Blue - UAE, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Fiji
Green - China, South Korea

Any other relevant color scheme is fine. Thanks. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 14:29, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from my talk page

Thanks so much for creating the map File:Revenue map for Bollywood films.svg. I'm really sorry, but I stupidly missed out a crucial country - Pakistan, in blue. Could you please update that too? I really appreciate it. Thanks in advance, and cheers! ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 10:48, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, could you add an inset specifying the color scheme for the map? It goes like this :-
Red - Main country
Blue - Important and consistent revenue earners
Green - Erratic revenue earners
Thanks again! ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 10:59, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind. It’s one minute work. I updated the map. As for the legend, I will work later. ―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 11:05, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Whoopsies :( . I asked a few more editors to take a look at the map, and I seem to have forgotten a few more countries :D. Here they are :- Germany (blue), Malaysia (green). Thanks for the update. One minute work? Ooh, I thought making maps was a tough and highly specialized kind of job :). ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 11:09, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Btw, Pakistan should be in blue - I stupidly missed out a crucial country - Pakistan, in blue. Thanks. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 11:11, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I corrected Pakistan. Malaysia need to be split from Thailand. So I will work later. Please be patient. ―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 11:27, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
