Carbon dioxide emissions map
Article(s): List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions Request:
 * This is somewhat of an urgent request and I sincerely apologize for that. I'd like to request an upgrade to SVG. This map is a few years outdated and new data are available here.  I tried my hand at doing this myself, but I wasn't liking the results. –Fredddie™ 22:24, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

This would be best recreated as an svg for ease of future updating and scalability/quality of image If you still want to do this yourself, I can explain how you can use one of the existing svg location maps to do so... or... If you provide a table like this (by "distilling" the data from your source(s)): or similar...(Country ISO codes are here: ISO_3166-1 - use Alpha2, but lower case with a leading period) ...you could even add columns to a copy of the article table for this, and get the added benefit of updating that at the same time too (just a thought...)... then I'll do the rest (don't be too hung up on colours - you can just number the ranges or something) How's that sound for "division of labour"?

Age of consent World Map
Hello,

I found out some mistakes on this worldmap about ages of consent in the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Age_of_Consent_-_Global.svg I wrote to the author and asked her to update the map. Here comes the answer:

"I created the map based on information I had at the time, and I am not interested in being the one keeping it up to date. Anyone is free to update it—a fairly simple task that only requires a basic text editor—as laws and verified sources change. If you do not feel confident in editing it yourself, please place a request over at Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Map workshop. Thank you!"

As I am not confident in editing the map, I place this request here. Maybe anybody can change it OR tell me how to do it. I'm not even sure if I would find the answer.

1. Peru is 14

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_South_America#Peru

2. Spain is actually 13 (but being discussed)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_Europe#Spain

Also other sources confirm that. Thanks alot for any help. Kind regards Alex A. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.42.207.97 (talk) 19:49, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ What the author told you was correct. It's a well organised svg file with style rules using the 2 letter ISO codes for the countries in sections for colour fill. In a text editor, all that is needed is to carefully move the relevant entry from one section to another, taking care to preserve formatting/punctuation/spacing, and resave. But as I say - it's done now. Begoon &thinsp; talk  02:39, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I am a little concerned having seen this, though:, so I'll leave a note on the article talk page in case there is more to this than meets my eye with a very quick look. Begoon &thinsp; talk  02:49, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

 * ✅ - and thank you for providing the German image to take it from. Saved some searching. Begoon &thinsp; talk  09:15, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. This had been bugging me for a long time :) P. S. Burton  (talk)  10:03, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I actually just noticed one more thing. It looks kind of weird that the state borders are light blue. I sort of makes them look like rivers. Maybe you could fix that too while your at it? P. S. Burton  (talk)  10:09, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Only problem there is that the way it's been done is that those aren't borders, they are gaps between the states, through which the light blue background is visible.
 * My first thought was - easy - put a white layer behind just the land areas, made as a copy with thick white stroke (outline), which will show through as white borders (needs to be white (or light) so as not to make the text illegible).
 * Solved? - well, no, because some of the gaps are rivers, I think, or bodies of water at least (and some are probably both). So that needs identifying.
 * In other words, unless I'm missing a trick, it's not just changing the border colours (because they don't exist), it's pretty much redrawing them from scratch (by tracing).
 * I will come back to it when I have a bit of time to do the work (unless someone beats me to it, perhaps with a simpler solution I haven't thought of...) Begoon &thinsp; talk  10:48, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Regions of Italy
The article Regions of Italy - Could somebody create a map with each region labeled and possibly with a link to the respective article of the region? Smebody has asked for this on the talk page of that article, too. Maybe  could be used.2A02:2F0A:506F:FFFF:0:0:50C:DD46 (talk) 19:47, 27 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Is this a different regional map than the one at Italy? That uses the template: . I created a "scalable" version in case the default size isn't quite correct - see, where you can supply an "image-width" parameter, but watch out for type collisions if you make it too small... The "new" one also uses a slightly less saturated basemap for label visibility.
 * Really, the text should be put in the svg, and Image map used for clickability, or the scaling is spoilt by the type moving, and I might do that when I have more time - but this seems usable for now? Begoon &thinsp; talk  03:58, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Ancient Near East Map Translation
Article(s): Various articles Request:
 * The map is in German. English translation is requested. Cavann (talk) 22:19, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
 * I tried around with this, but I can't get the georeferencing of the old map to align with the SRTM topography. Any helpful advice from the professionals? --Tobias1984 (talk) 10:20, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I think the only way to do that one would be to redo it from scratch. Kmusser (talk) 18:43, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
 * If you provide me with all the translations in a text file german/english I will make your english version. Goran tek-en (talk) 16:43, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Location map Northeast USA
Article(s): 2014 NPSL season Request: An editor Mak888 wants to use a map Location map USA northeast in an article 2014 NPSL season. (See discussion at User_talk:Mak888) However, using it as a location map isn't working. I pinged the creator, but have not yet heard back. My guess is that it wasn't set up correctly, but I don't know how to set it up so that it can be used as a location map. Can someone help?-- S Philbrick (Talk)  15:04, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
 * HectorMoffet has resolved the problem that led me here. If someone wants to look at the map, in case it needs tweaking, go for it, but I see that it is working now, so I'm satisfied.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  00:44, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Comment I created it, cropped from Template:Location map USA. It's somewhat better now, I've scaled and translated the equations for x and y, but could use an eye from an actual expert. --HectorMoffet (talk) 15:06, 11 December 2013 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

ANZAC cove
Request: Hi looking for some help for a map for several articles. This is what I have found and basically I only want the top half, down to the N on the compass cross. Also if possible blown up so you can see the details. There is a copyright tag on the bottom right of the image, but its taken from a book now published on the web under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 system. Jim Sweeney (talk) 18:20, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
 * First, I don't know how you created this request but it should look like this to work best. There is a link --New request-- at the top which one should use for best result.


 * I would need you to provide a link for that book and where in it the map can be found so we can state that.


 * I can do this as a svg file and then it can be enlarged as you need it.


 * Thanks must have missed that link. The book is on line here with the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 tag on the right of the page. The map is here on page 19  Jim Sweeney (talk) 20:00, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
 * You can have a look at this link ANZAC_bridge-head_northern_part to check if it's something like this you want. Also I need you to control so it's the same as the original, names, lines and so on. There is one name about in the middle "THE SPHINX" which I'm not sure about. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:13, 12 December 2013 (UTC)


 * That looks great. The Sphinx was a prominent feature see here for a pictureNew Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade. Thanks Jim Sweeney (talk) 19:44, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, you can find the file here. I just added it to category World War 1, you have to add other categories if needed. --Goran tek-en (talk) 23:16, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

File:Map of Global Minimum Wages per Hour in USD.jpg
Article(s): List of minimum wages by country Request:
 * This map uses very subtly different shades of blue to differentiate various levels, which are hard to tell apart. It's also a JPEG, and is showing some artifacts, so it could use vectorization. We have some stock maps that show island countries as larger dots which are easier to read; something like that would also be easier to read. -- Beland (talk) 08:11, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
 * ✅ - How's this? I didn't have it show the smaller nations as dots, but those can be added pretty easily if you think it would be better that way. Cloudlet (talk) 07:24, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
