Philly Neighborhood Map
Article(s): List of Philadelphia neighborhoods Request: I think the above article needs a proper map like this one. Of course, that one is fuzzy and not free so I would like help making one. There are vary user-created Google Maps like this, but not too many others. I think the neighborhood breakdown on the first map is best although here is the gov't list. This page is also a good reference map and much easier to read. Any help making this (preferably SVG) would be great. :) gren グレン 20:35, 1 November 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):


 * svg-map made of the neighborhoods. Wereldburger758 (talk) 22:20, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * adding names to the map will be almost impossible other than by making an image map. So what I suggest is making a map exactly like this one. I know it can be done, but I don't know how. I am open to advice from the community. Wereldburger758 (talk) 23:00, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Locator and street maps for West Philly's Clark Park
Article(s): Clark Park Request: For Clark Park in West Philadelphia, please create a locator map using the WPhilaDistrict.PNG map. It would be wonderful as well to have a street map. This map shows the boundary streets, as well as the one that cuts across it; this map shows its location and orientation (but incorrectly omits the bottom triangle). Many thanks!

english lang map
Article(s): Template:English official language clickable map Request: Make Somaliland light blue. Outback the koala (talk) 20:26, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * English is an official language in India too, like Guyana even if not the "national" language as in the anglosphere. Lihaas (talk) 19:55, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

The English Wikipedia says:"Somaliland (Somali: Jamhuuriyadda Soomaaliland, Arabic: أرض الصومال‎ Arḍ aṣ-Ṣūmāl) is an unrecognized state located in the Horn of Africa. It is regarded internationally as an autonomous region of Somalia." The title of the image is: Anglospeak Countries. Therefore, I won't change the map. Sorry. Regards, Wereldburger758 (talk) 06:06, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Would probably need to get consensus on its talk page (or on Anglosphere) for the change. Personally I think this would be an ok change to make - the image title and description say countries, but where it's used in articles the descriptions make a point of using "regions" rather than "countries". If the point is to show the Anglosphere it would make sense to include Somaliland regardless of whether it's recognized, but by that logic other changes should probably be made as well - if using regions and not countries Quebec should probably be switched to light blue.

.svg map combining
Article(s): To be inserted into National Weather Service Chicago, Illinois and National Weather Service Paducah, Kentucky Request: Please create county locator maps for Indiana and Illinois combined and Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky combined (leave the highlighting in the resulting maps, if possible). I need them to display the locations of the county warning areas for the Paducah, Kentucky and Chicago, Illinois National Weather Service offices. Also, in the process, could the state borders in the counties highlighted be fixed in a manner similar to that which Kmusser did with this image?

Spain Demographic Map
Article(s): Demographics of Spain Request: From this website (Ministry of Employment and Immigration, Spain): http://www.mtin.es/es/estadisticas/Inmigracion_emigracion/index.htm you can download the data file 'Inmigración y Emigración (Observatorio Permanente de la Inmigración)' which has Visa and work allowances for immigrants until 2009. The first section gives the total population in 2009 per each listed country. The current article has a map most recently updated in 2002, and lacks to account for the recent EU enlargements (in 2004 and 2007). Please let me know if you have any questions.

The data can be accessed at this link (the first table, you can open with excel). http://extranjeros.mtin.es/es/InformacionEstadistica/Anuarios/ Mdestito (talk) 21:54, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

Can you provide a more specific link to the data? That would help those of us whose Spanish is a bit rusty... Classical geographer (talk) 15:21, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

The data is here. http://extranjeros.mtin.es/es/InformacionEstadistica/Anuarios/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdestito (talk • contribs) 15:44, 23 November 2010 (UTC) =Resolved=

Angola
Article(s): Angola, Demographics of Angola Request: SVG please :) P. S. Burton  (talk)  23:45, 19 November 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):   This requires manual tracing of some non-trivial shapes and may take some time.
 * I've added an SVG map above that could make the task much easier. Regards, -- Orionist  ★  talk  11:04, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ Thanks Orionist. This is now complete. Jon C (talk) 18:27, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Great. Thank you very much. I did some changes. However, there seems to be some problems with letter-spacing when the file is rendered as a thumb. P. S. Burton  (talk)  22:14, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I used your version as a base and corrected them all to use DejaVu font family. It seems to be better.  MediaWiki's SVG renderer does unpredictable things with type - unpredictable to me anyway - so we may need an expert on that to chime in. Jon C (talk) 08:36, 4 January 2011 (UTC)



Empire of Brazil
Article(s): Empire of Brazil Request: Hi, I'd like to see the map with its northwestern boundary exactly like this one. Other maps with the desired border: and. Thank you very much, Lecen (talk) 13:57, 14 December 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): The orthographic maps' SVG do not open correctly in Illustrator (something to do with excessive grouping). After fidgeting I could make the corrections but MediawikiSVG no longer recognize the file as valid SVG. I can supply a PNG through a screen capture but a SVG is beyond my tools at the moment. Jon C (talk) 21:49, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, you can try that. Regards, --Lecen (talk) 03:45, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ AnonMoos fixed the SVG map I uploaded earlier. You can barnstar him :)  Jon C (talk) 23:54, 2 January 2011 (UTC)



Diplomatic missions of Bangladesh
Article(s): List of diplomatic missions of Bangladesh, List of diplomatic missions in Bangladesh Request: Hi, For the article showing Bangladeshi diplomatic missions worldwide, it already has a map but some changes need to be made on the map. The changes would be Coloring the map of Jordan and Switzerland as Bangladesh has missions in both of those countries. In addition to that, removing the color from the map of Brazil, Senegal, and Nigeria as Bangladesh dont have a diplomatic presence in those countries yet. However, it would be better to color map of Afghanistan, Sudan, and Sierra Leone as bangladesh is establishing embassies in those countries soon. As for the article for diplomatic missions in Bangladesh, it has no map indication. It would be better to show a map of countries which has embassies and honorary consulates present in Bangladesh.

Graphist opinion(s): Diplomatic missions of Bangladesh: map updated to specification, together with the prospective additions (Afg., Sudan, S.L.) Linked to gallery above ✅ Jon C (talk) 19:07, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): Look at proposition in gallery, maybe you will prefere some centered on Asia?

Geographic coordinates on a map
This is not really a graphics request, but I'm placing it here since I don't know of a better place (suggestions welcome). I would like to find a way to transform geographical coordinates (i.e., longitude and latitude) into map coordinates on File:Madagascar range map template.svg. The approach I'm taking now is placing a marker at an easily recognizable location on the map, getting its map coordinates from the SVG text, getting the location's coordinates on Google Maps or so, and working out the formula. However, there may be other, better ways. Ucucha 10:22, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you mean Template:location_map? Uwe Dedering (talk) 17:14, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
 * That is similar, yes, but not quite as useful, because it does not create a new image. I've put together the program by now; see User:Ucucha/Mapper. Ucucha 21:07, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

1 country to a map?
Article(s): Apostille treaty Request: I found this image on commons. It looks good for the article, but Mongolia is missing. (see members here). Could that be added? L.tak (talk) 22:30, 15 January 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): ✅: That map is missing quite a few countries, plus Mongolia isn't a fully recognized member. I've created a new map according to the official list from the link you provided. <i style="text-shadow:grey 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;"><b style="color:#4D5D53">Fallschirm</b><b style="color:#2E8B57">jäger</b><b style="color:#701"></b></i> <b style="color:#3CB371">&#9993;</b> 14:24, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * thanks, that looks much better; I like the distinction between member states and non member states to the organization as well. My only comment is China, where it is only applied to the SARs Macao and Hong Kong.. (see here); could you change that? L.tak (talk) 14:46, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅ - No problem, China changed now to only show SARs. Regards, <i style="text-shadow:grey 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;"><b style="color:#4D5D53">Fallschirm</b><b style="color:#2E8B57">jäger</b><b style="color:#701"></b></i> <b style="color:#3CB371">&#9993;</b> 15:52, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
