Crimea map: kerning problem, other suggestions?
Article(s): e.g. crh:Qırım Muhtar Cumhuriyeti Request: Hi! I made this map with Inkscape for the Crimean Tatar Wikipedia, basing it on the existing outline map of Crimea. At least on my browsers (Safari and Firefox for Mac), the names for some of the cities are squished, especially Kezlev. If it's not just my browser, is there anything I should do to fix that? If people have other general suggestions about the map, I'd appreciate it, since it's my first one. Thanks! Lesgles (talk) 22:51, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

India Roman Catholic dioceses map
Article(s): Request: Hello WikiCartographers, please can we have a map of the provinces and dioceses of the Catholic Church in India? I'm looking for something along the lines of the US map in the gallery above? There are 23 Latin rite provinces in India, which are further divided into dioceses. Each diocese is made up of a few civil districts which make up the map of India with districts. The list of districts that make up each diocese is available on the following sites/pages: The UCAN site has the latest and most reliable data and the description pages of most of the dioceses have a map of India showing the outline of the diocese, which will be helpful. Thanks, The Discoverer (talk) 15:59, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

World cities
Article(s): Cities, Metropolis

Request: A global urbanization map has allready been made (see Global_urbanization.png), yet it would be useful to also map the major cities in the world. Take over the cities from http://esa.un.org/unup/Maps/maps_urban_2011.htm and put them on a blank map. Perhaps also mark the travel time and major travel routes between the cities using this map: http://bioval.jrc.ec.europa.eu/products/gam/index.htm KVDP (talk) 07:11, 16 October 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

wikiepedia's Somalia map (request to add Carmo town)
wikiepedia's Somalia map (request to add Armo town)

Firstly I want to thank you for your valueble work in general and specially on Somalia, I am hereby requesting you to include your Somalia maps an important town named Carmo (Armo in english), which is 100KM south of Bosaso city of Puntland, Somalia,on the road between Bosaso and Gardo, the town was nearly founded in 1995, but has been rapidly gorwing and became an official distirct capital in 2003. by now it is well-designed large town,also it is home to UNDP sponsored Armo Somali Police Accademy, which is the largest in Somalia. the town had been on your maps of Somalia since 2009 and 2010, but after that you did not include it on your maps, could please include it again. I can understand that your maps show as much as possible of the towns and the villages of Somalia, but I think that Armo/Carmo town deserves to be shown on yours maps according to its relatively large size and importance. Sincve it is district capital, please show it with larger letters and spot. Note: You can get the location of Carmo on the this link //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/9/9f/20100313003018%21Somalia_map_states_regions_districts.png

Thanks,

Holy Roman Empire 1789 in SVG
Article(s): Holy Roman Empire Request: This file concerning the HRE in 1789 was uploaded in PNG, though from the looks of it, was made in a vector graphics editor, like Inkscape. I believe that having the map in SVG format could make the map of better quality. Though, if the map cannot be traced into an SVG file, perhaps could the original SVG file be found and uploaded? 64.229.183.165 (talk) 18:37, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
