Original non-svg map

Article(s): Esperanto, Pasporta Servo

Request: This is a 2005 (now obsolete) map of Pasporta Servo (a website akin to CouchSurfing) hosts. It has since been superseded by a Google Maps-type map on its official website. This map is of crucial importance as it's the only known attempt to map Esperanto-speakers and where they are. If anyone could pick it up, it'd be great!

Map for history (spread) of religion[edit]

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 07:00, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A map of the world, showing the major religions distributed in the world as of today. This map is a good starting point for the spread map (just add arrows...).

Article(s): History of religions

Request: We really need a map showing the spread of religions. Ideally, we would have several static ones (one for all religions, and one for major ones - Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, at least, plus animated gif versions), but I am not asking for all of them - the world one with arrows should be relatively simple to make, based on the linked modern day static one. All the others would be nice extras. Sources for the map include a bunch of non-free maps: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7],[8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], animated. Please note that we don't need to include all of those details; not saying it wouldn't be nice, but unless somebody wants to dedicate a lot of time to this, all we need for now is half an hour of somebody who can add a few arrows to the map and adjust the legend. The arrows that are needed for the basic version: 1) Christianity/Judaism - spreads from Middle East to Europe, from Europe to everywhere else as shown on map 2) Islam: a cross of arrows, spreading from the Middle East to nearby locations, one longer arm reaches Indonesia 3) Buddhism - spreads from China south and east (to Japan). Anything extra is, well, extra. Ping me on talk if you leave a reply I should read - it is difficult to watch this page. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 19:34, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help. Do you have to use an SVG editor for that, or is it doable in Notepad? Nyttend (talk) 16:04, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I edited in Inkscape ... but now I discovered that the file structure has changed (Inkscape does that when saving). So I just uploaded another file, in the original structure, edited in notepad (avoiding Inkscape). The code change was: id="IN" class="statewithall", where statewithall is defined as green early in the file. -DePiep (talk) 16:38, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request: The colour map needs updating to include a new stretch of line. File:Metrolink route map 28 February 2013.svg already has it in anticipation of the official opening on 28 Feb, and I believe it's just a case of copying, pasting and colouring that additional line on the colour version.

Bump.

Don't be sad, TCO! This is a very tricky request. Unlike contemporary geographic features, it's hard to find free maps or data for features that ceased to exist thousands of years ago. After turning the web upside down I found some GIS data that I hope are complete. I'll try to look into them soon but you'll have to be a bit patient as I'm still learning the ropes of QGIS.

Article(s): Ngari Prefecture, Shigatse Prefecture

Request: These maps show the northern area of Zhongba County as part of Ngari prefecture, when the whole county is actually part of Shigatse prefecture. I believe these areas might have been the former county of Lunggar (1983-1999), but the articles the maps are used on do not mention this and the maps are presented as current borders, potentially misleading readers. The maps do not match this newer one: [21] or several maps from external sources e.g. [22], [23], [24] Fhah4 (talk) 17:19, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by Keithonearth (talk) 18:40, 12 March 2013 (UTC).:Thank you for finding the error Fhah4, I'm was a bit hesitant to take this on, as it's really not just the Ngari and Shigatse maps, but all the maps of tibet that I did that are affected, it's just more noticeable in the two you pointed it out for. I think I can figure out how to edit them all with relative ease, but my familiarity with the SVG file format is limited. I'm working on it now. --Keithonearth (talk) 18:40, 12 March 2013 (UTC) Done: I've made the changes requested to the two images. Please review and let me know if they are OK or if there's any issues. If it's all good, I'll edit the other 7 maps that are very similar and have the Shigatse/Ngari boundry marked in the old/wrong way, but are less noticeable as the incorrect line is not highlighted by a colour change between the prefectures. --Keithonearth (talk) 20:25, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Eriophorum angustifolium distribution map[edit]

This image can be used as a base...
...And/or this one.
This would be an example of the desired outcome.
Done

Article(s): Eriophorum angustifolium

Request: Can somebody create a map of the distribution of Eriophorum angustifolium using this map as a guide? File:Utricularia distribution.svg is a great example of how this simple enough map could (or should) look. 2.27.184.4 (talk) 15:36, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

That map seems to show only part of the distribution, and the way it's done it's hard to know if the range covers the empty areas between the points or not. I found several other more accurate maps [25], [26], [27] and some other sources [28], [29] that mentions Mongolia, Kazakhstan and parts of China. But still for example I can't find information about the large swathes of Russia between these places and the other points. So if you can find some other good sources that either map or describe the range it'd help in finishing the map. Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 22:23, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ooops! Didn't realise I wasn't logged in - wondered why it wasn't in my list of contributions!.... Anyway, I'm constructing a higher quality version of the article at User:Jza84/Sandbox3. I've struggled to find any other map, but I have got a prose-based description in the Distribution and habitat section which uses a variety of sources. Does that help? --Jza84 | Talk 14:17, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, written description helps a lot. I'll try to aggregate the sources I have now to make the map. We can refine the range once more specific sources are available. By the way, do you specifically want the map to be of the style you posted above (Utricularia) or the grey on white (like this?) -- Orionist ★ talk 00:49, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Great stuff - either style is fine really. Whatever the usual convention is for flora distribution maps I guess. If there isn't one, then whatever's easiest/best for you. Thanks for picking this up. --Jza84 | Talk 15:08, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done In the places where the sources are not precise I tried to avoid the drier regions, but some future refinement is needed. And since changing colors takes 5 seconds, I uploaded both styles to the same file. Have a look at the file history, and if you like the grey/green you can revert to that. I'll be happy to do any other changes you need. Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 08:43, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How's this?

Request: Hi! Can anyone make a position map about Firenze? - Hujber Tünde (talk) 20:06, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're talking about the city of Florence? If so you can find many maps in the related Commons category Category:Maps of Florence. If you meant the Province of Florence then you can find a location map in its article. If you can't find what you need in those places, can you be more specific, or give us an example of the type of map you want? Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 04:08, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry! Of course I talk about the city of Florence, in Italy. I need a map I can use in the infobox of buildings, statues, squares, etc. located in this town. Can you help me? - Hujber Tünde (talk) 13:05, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you take a map from openstreetmap.org. You can download it in png. or svg. Wereldburger758 (talk) 13:50, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because I don't know that site and I don't know how to use it and how to make a position map. - Hujber Tünde (talk) 18:49, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done I've created the map above from OpenStreetMap data. Please have a look and tell me if you need any changes done. I don't know much about Florence so I chose what looked like the central area to me. I can include more areas to the side or crop it to be even more central if you want. Maybe remove the black line to the left (tram line?). I included the map coordinates in the description, so you can easily use it as a pushpin-style location map. Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 22:20, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! The black line you mentioned can be removed, and the map will be perfect! Can I use it on other wikis or in enwiki only? - Tündi (talk) 20:27, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! The map is uploaded to Commons so you can use it on all wikis. But to be able to use it specifically in a settlement-type infobox as a push-pin map, you might need to create a location map template for it (like the one used for Italy here), or whatever similar template on each wiki where you want to use it. That's because the template is necessary to calculate the coordinates to position the pushpin. Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 09:15, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
