Sourcing of chart positions
I have noticed that you often cite acharts.us as a source for chart positions, as e.g. you did for A Reality Tour. It is great that you cite a source, but I want to point your attention to the fact that acharts.us is unlicensed and that better, licensed sources often exists. I suggest you read WP:CHARTS for guidelines on chart positions, especially for it's list of licensed sources that are preferred to acharts.us. Thank you and happy editing! – Ib Leo (talk) 20:21, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, Thank you for your help. I replaced the sources on A Reality Tour. Mirrorme22 (talk) 21:48, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * My pleasure. I can just say, thanks for reacting so promptly to my remark. – Ib Leo (talk) 21:53, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

2010 electorate additions
Hi, I notice a number of edits adding in up to date electorate figures to election articles. You may also have seen that Keith D asked for a cite on Barnsley East. Could you give a cite on Barnsley East (UK Parliament constituency) please? I have figures quoting 2010 here, but not December 2010. I'd like to use these figures on List of United Kingdom Parliament constituencies in time.

Thanks. Crooked cottage (talk) 17:47, 8 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I assume you are using the BCE figures, and fair play to you for doing that. Here's my way of saying "thanks". It's a great little task you're doing. doktorb wordsdeeds 21:41, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

London Plan sub-regions
Hi there. Would it be possible for you to create a new version of File:London plan sub regions (2008).svg using the current definition? There's now a "Central" region. I tried to do it myself, but the way the SVG file is structured was too difficult for me to change.

Many thanks, -- Hex [t/c] 11:30, 20 September 2012 (UTC).
 * Hello there, I have created the new map and edited the previous map so they both share the same format and colour scheme. --Mirrorme22 (talk) 14:59, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

UK general election maps
Hi Mirrorme22,

I would like to know how to access the geographical data used in your maps of historical UK general election results. I know that boundary commission reports with OS maps showing historical constituency boundaries can be obtained, but I was wondering if it was possible to obtain map coordinates or shapefiles of electoral boundaries. And if so, how?

Thanks, jatd8

Jatd8 (talk) 18:38, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, The Boundary Commission for Scotland have published shapefiles for constituencies from 1950 - 2005 on their website but as far as I know none exist for England and Wales for this period, I mainly used the OS Maps you mention to create the England and Wales portion from scratch. The Vision of Britain website is also very useful for finding historical boundaries. Mirrorme22 (talk) 02:12, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

2016 EU Referendum local results map
Hi again, the map is now fantastic thanks however just noticed that where you have put Gibraltar on the top left hand corner is right where we put the key in to show the colour of the, Percentages of the vote so can I suggest that Gibraltar gos where you had originally put it in the bottom left hand corner so the space is free once the results are in had originally put it in the bottom left so the space is free for the key once the results are there, however we now need maps of each of local voting areas within the twelve regions. Thanks so much (46.64.70.97 (talk) 17:38, 24 February 2016 (UTC))
 * Hi : - I've placed the Gibraltar map on the top left hand side as this seems to be the convention on Wikipedia for map insets, I think the colour key clutters the map and confuses the average reader, if you look at United Kingdom Alternative Vote referendum, 2011 there is a key below the image in the main "infobox", it seems a bit unnecessary to have it in the map as well. I can copy the regional area maps from the AV referendum article. Mirrorme22 (talk) 18:19, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

That's fair enough, in fact if you wish could you modify the 2011 AV results map to take the key off the map for continuity purposes and  yes regional area maps are absolutely identical in terms of England so perfect to copy from apart from the South West Region where Gibraltar this to be added in and also Scotland and Wales needs changing as council areas were not used in the 2011 referendum in those parts of the UK. We also need to create the Results of the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, 2016 page to add the  relevant maps in. (46.64.70.97 (talk) 18:37, 24 February 2016 (UTC))

Reorganisation
I found the former layout clearer and more useful. Why did you make such a sweeping change without trying to reach consensus in the first place?Zigzig20s (talk) 23:46, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * , I mentioned on the talk page that I would add a section for organisations that will officially endorse neither side in the referendum, it would have been far more confusing IMO to add a third section "neutral" sub section to each section. I have used the List of endorsements in the Scottish independence referendum, 2014 article as a guide for the new layout of the article as it seems to me to be far clearer to the reader regardless of the neutral section. I will ask for views on the article talk page. Mirrorme22 (talk) 23:58, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

EU referendum Map Requests
I would like to request a blank council area map for Wales not just for the EU referendum but also for the Welsh local government page please as none currently exist.

I request that the borders for the London districts are thicker than the borders shown in the Welsh map above so can that be corrected please.

Please can a new version be made of this map with the addition of Gibraltar for the EU referendum as it is part of the South West Region.

Cheers I hope you can be of help, The match will be needed as soon as possible please mainly for the EU referendum. (46.64.217.156 (talk) 13:11, 28 March 2016 (UTC))

Correcting an error on the 1987 general election map
Hi Mirrorme22. Firstly, congratulations on the stellar work on election maps - all very detailed and very impressive. I did, however, pick up one error in the 1987 general election map - you have the constituency of Cheltenham down as a Liberal-SDP seat. Cheltenham went Lib Dem at the following election, in 1992; but in 1987 it was a Conservative hold, with a 4,896 majority. Is there any chance of amending the map accordingly? Debonairchap (talk) 10:49, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Constituencies
Hi Mirrorme22, are you completely sure that placing the interactive maps at the top of the infobox, away from the boundary section, as well as the SVG map, with no discussion that I can see, across many articles, is the best thing to do? Rcsprinter123  (commune)  20:23, 9 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @Rcsprinter123 Discussion with who and where? There is precedent for using interactive maps in the infobox, for example, US Congressional Districts (e.g. see Arkansas's 4th congressional district)
 * My view is that static SVG maps are outdated and archaic. The use of interactive maps in a prominent place (the infobox) is much more useful to the user.
 * Could you please advise where a discussion should take place and I will pause until a consensus is reached. I assume from your message that you object to my changes? Mirrorme22 (talk) 21:05, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I simply thought that it was quite a large change to be making. I dislike overloading the infobox with excess things. The SVG map sets the regional context and then readers wanting to know more precise boundary details could find that further down. I suggest Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Politics of the United Kingdom would be an appropriate place to gather opinions.
 * I see your American example and I suppose it's alright, but that's because there is only one map occupying the infobox. At the very least, could we include a caption stating when the boundary dates from? Rcsprinter123   (confabulate)  22:14, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Need some help? :)
Hi! Inspired by your location maps of EM and YTH constituencies in the region I was working on creating similar maps for WM region. Thankfully I've noticed before uploading any of my work that you've already created maps for WM :D Just a funny story to share.

But more on point: need any help? We can split some workload and make changes quicker and more efficiently.

Kind regards, Sfaxx (talk) 14:43, 11 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I have now uploaded new constituency maps for all constituencies in all English regions.
 * There is currently some discussion taking place regarding the placement of interactive maps (see above and here). My view is that both the interactive map and SVG map should be within the infobox, and I see that you have been doing the same. You may wish to add your views! :) Mirrorme22 (talk) 15:00, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
