Graphist opinion(s): Request at the Map Workshop

Take a look a this map. Is it OK (one island is missing because it lies far away)? I selected untypical contrast colors because some island are very small. --Jkan997 (talk) 21:36, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Battle of Wareo
Article(s): Battle of Scarlet Beach, Battle of Finschhafen, Battle of Sattelberg, Battle of Wareo Request: If possible, I would like someone to create an area map depicting the area around the Huon Peninsula in New Guinea and including various locations such as Finschhafen, Jivevaneng, Sattelberg, Katika, North Hill, Pabu, Nongora, Christmas Hills, Wareo and Gusika, and including the various large water features, such as the Lakes east of Wareo and the Lagoon north of Gusika, as well as the Song and Kalueng Rivers. There is no need to include military symbols (I just want an area map showing the locations in relation to each other). Some source material is available on Dexter, p. 660 which can be found here in pdf form: and p. 461 here. Thanks in advance.

Lewis and Harris
Hi. Lewis has a nice map in the infobox showing the extent of this region. Harris, on the other hand, has a dot, which does not help to show the extent of this second region. Lewis and Harris also has no map anywhere to show the boundary between these regions. It would be nice to have more useful maps, with shaded areas, in these second two articles. Perhaps if the map at Lewis was used as a base, this would not be too hard to do for someone with graphics skills. 86.146.108.51 (talk) 20:47, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): ✅ I also coloured the adjacent small islands as was done with the Lewis map. I can change that in the Harris map or in both maps if desired. Cheers! -- Orionist  ★  talk  06:29, 25 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks, that's great! I have added it to the article. If you have the time and inclination, would you be able to do a similar one with both regions shaded in different colours suitable for the article Lewis and Harris? 86.181.172.218 (talk) 17:52, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

American Catholic dioceses
Article(s): File:US Roman Catholic dioceses map.png Request: This map gets captioned with "The color for Omaha (Nebraska) is slightly different from that of Denver (Colorado and Wyoming)." Ok, if I squint and look at my monitor from an odd angle, I can see that. But this is misleading, even with the explanation in the caption (pictures being worth a thousand words and all). This really shouldn't be a difficult fix, though. Switch either the Omaha or Denver diocese colors with Anchorage's, Boston's, or any other one where we won't have adjacent similar colors. I don't want to sound too critical here—this is otherwise a very helpful map. But how hard could this be to fix? --BDD (talk) 16:52, 15 June 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Distribution map needed for Chimney Swift update
Article(s): Update/revision of Chimney Swift being developed in my sandbox Request: Need a distribution map for the Chimney Swift (Chaetura pelagica) article update. The distribution map should follow guidelines of Wikiproject:Birds for distribution maps. The sample in the Project page is misleading. Because the Chimney Swift is native only to the western hemisphere, the map should be of the bird's native range, not the entire world. Example of a distribution map in a featured article at Common House Martin. DocTree (talk) 06:04, 8 July 2012 (UTC) Sources: USGS Breeding Bird Survey (Fairly recent and reliable for N. America)

Birdlife (Uses colors preferred by Wikiproject:BIRDS)

AllAboutBirds] (Click the "View dynamic map of eBird sightings" below the distribution map as a shortcut to

eBird. Click Explore Data, then Range and Point Maps and enter either Chimney Swift or Chaetura pelagica, then change the dates to a recent range, current year or 2010-2012. eBird is the most up-to-date data available.

Comments Almost all (maybe all) distribution maps for Chimney Swifts (CHSW) in dead tree references are out-of-date. Multiple sources show that the total number of CHSW has been dropping for decades. The CHSW conservation status was recently changed from 'Least Concern' to 'Near Threatened'. At the same time, the breeding range spread to the west while retracting south. Only a few breeding pairs have been documented in Ontario, Canada, and only in the far south along the border with the USA. A few decades ago, CHSW were common through much of Ontario but rare in Colorado where they have become common.

Ignore the occasional observations of CHSW in California reported and confirmed by eBird. The reports are accurate but those are considered vagrants or itinerants. A pair of vagrants are occasionally sighted and confirmed far outside the normal range as far away as Scotland, Greenland and Ireland. Until there are more sightings or confirmed nesting, California should not be shown as part of the CHSW distribution. Areas where there are many reports, such as Colorado Springs, Bolder and Fort Collins, Colorado, should be included.

The non-breeding range is still not exact. It was considered 'a mystery' until the late 20th century when a native tribesman came out of the Amazon jungles with a collection of bird bands that he thought might be valuable. The uncertainty of the non-breeding distribution will be explained in text (including the story of the band recovery unless the consensus is "too much detail").
