Beit Jinn pocket
I am surprised that some towns in Beit Jinn pocket were turned green. They were taken by SAA in the previous weeks. It ia also reported in al masdar that they are in reconciliation agreement. In practical terms they surrendered. We can decide if to put them in red or in violet bu surely not in green, that means control by group actively fighting the government. I do not remember how to set the truce (violet) symbol, could you remind me?

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Possible Burma template:detailed_map?
As I'm sure you're aware of the ongoing situation in Myanmar with the coup, the protests, and the violent crackdown on the protestors. However, there's a chance this can turn into a full-scale civil war, especially given the already existing Ethnic Armed Organizations within the country and the fact that Burma/Myanmar has been in a de-facto state of a ethnic civil war for seven decades per this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_conflict_in_Myanmar. This coup and the consequences have added a new level of instability in the country and the EAOs are talking about forming a united front, a federal army, to combat the military junta. https://twitter.com/poppymcp/status/1373144952624967681?s=20 https://twitter.com/gazeintoAnubis/status/1373158865550811142?s=20

I think it may be prudent to set up a template detailed map page for Myanmar in preparation for a potential civil war within the country. And if it doesn't come to that, it will still be a good idea to have such a page for the ongoing internal conflict given that some areas are outside of government control - particularly in Shan state per the second paragraph of this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shan_State. Your thoughts? I would also like to learn how to create such pages for the future with your help. TheMapLurker (talk) 05:19, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
 * @TheMapLurker: There was already a template map for Myanmar. However, it was deleted. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2020_March_15#Template:Southeast_Asian_conflicts_detailed_map
 * So we shouldn't create a template map for Myanmar until there is a real war, otherwise, they will delete it again. Tradedia talk 13:53, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
 * @Tradedia: Alright, that's fair enough. All I ask is you keep an eye out since the situation is escalating with rebels seizing a Tatmadaw base yesterday - https://twitter.com/KnIC_Karenni/status/1375714474917732360.
 * As for the second part of my request - learning how to make a template detailed map page in general? I'd like to expand my wikipedia skills and you seem like the best person to ask about this. TheMapLurker (talk) 00:45, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * As the nominator of that discussion, my main reason for nominating for deletion was that I failed to see the point in having war map templates and modules that had not been edited in over 3 years and were not linked to anywhere. I have no objection in principle to a war map on the topic being created as long as it actually gets updates and doesn't just sit there for years gathering dust. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:18, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * @TheMapLurker: Sure, I'll keep an eye on it.


 * Concerning making a template detailed map page, you need 2 steps:


 * 1- Create a template. All templates have the same format. So it could be created by copy/pasting a previous template of another country and modifying it. The code of the template (for Iraq as an example) is:




 * Here, all what is needed is to change the name of the module (“Module:Iraqi insurgency detailed map”) into that of the correct country module.


 * 2- Create a module. All modules have the same format. So it could be created by copy/pasting a previous module of another country and modifying it. A key element of the module is the part at the end:




 * This is again from the Iraq map module. The important line here is: “AlternativeMap = 'Iraq location map2.svg',” So you need to find the “location map” of the appropriate country. There is already in Wikipedia at least one “location map” for every country in the world. This “location map” is used in geography articles to put cities and towns, etc. on a map. A “location map” is not just a picture file. It is a special picture where “geographic limits of the map” are defined in terms of latitude and longitude. This allows the module code to put the cities, towns, etc. in the right location in terms of latitude and longitude.


 * In addition, the line “width = '3000',” allows to define the size of the map in the template. Tradedia talk 19:19, 30 March 2021 (UTC)


 * @Tradedia: That sounds simple enough, thank you for the tips and help! TheMapLurker (talk) 07:22, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Concerning the Afghan template map
I believe that the Afghan map needs to return to the template. The issue over the usage of risbolensky as a source has been mostly opposed by those who haven't edited the map once, and this concern has already become problematic to all of us active editors on the Afghan map, whom all of us agree that the whole debacle is pretty much bullshit (we have discussed this over discord). We've been worrying over our work on the template being passed off over a single source, and I've personally refrained from using Risbolensky in order to somehow return the map back to the template. I'd like your opinion on the matter here, since our hard work is pretty much at stake.
 * My opinion is what I wrote yesterday at the RfC along with my “support” vote. Unfortunately, we are on Wikipedia, so we have to follow their rules. Not only map editors get to decide. If you like, you can tell the editors on discord to give their opinion at the RfC. As I explicitly stated at the RfC, i think all editors of the module should give their side of the story… Tradedia talk 12:32, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Importing template into Inkscape
Hello. I need to know how to import the war map template (more specifically the Ethiopian template) into Inkscape. Is it possible to import the city/town SVG files into Inkscape, or do I have to map it out myself? --Ue3lman (talk) 20:18, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Ue3lman. For this, I will refer you to User talk:Newsboy39. Tradedia talk 11:20, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I've already gone through that lesson. It's just about how to edit the map in Inkscape (which I know how to do since I've made the Tigray War territory map). What I'm trying to figure out is how to import the new towns/cities added to the Ethiopian template into Inkscape. What I previously did was screenshot the webpage; paste it into Inkscape, then made my own dots and city names and placed them on top of the image. Ue3lman (talk) 12:22, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * @Ue3lman: Sorry but i don't know how to do this as i have never used Inkscape. Maybe you can ask some of the editors of the SVG map pictures on the different war articles... Tradedia talk 08:01, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Salem al-Meslet


A tag has been placed on Salem al-Meslet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://syrianobserver.com/news/68000/salem-al-meslet-elected-head-of-the-opposition-coalition.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Templates in war map modules
Hello! Do you know whether it's possible to make improvements to the war map module code so it could make templates such as Template:Color icon serve as marks on the map. I was trying to do so, but unsuccessful; however, if it were enabled, it would be possible to create numerous new templates and replace all bitmap marks with vector ones so the maps would become more detailed and informative. I see that you are familiar with Lua code, so perhaps you know how to figure it out. Eagowl | talk | 05:08, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
