Location map for neighbourhoods within Oxford
Article(s): all articles about places listed in Template:Oxford Request: I have just added infoboxes to almost every article about a neighbourhood in Oxford, England. The Wikipedia convention seems for places in England that are administered by two-tier local government to be to illustrate infoboxes with a map of the whole county. This works well in rural Oxfordshire, but within the City of Oxford the neighbourhoods are so close together that a small map of the whole county fails to show their precise location within the city or their spatial relationship with each other.

Articles about neighbourhoods listed in Template:Bristol have a map showing just Bristol. This is on a larger scale, has more detail and therefore shows the neighbourhoods' locations more clearly. Bristol is a unitary authority so administratively it is no longer in a county. Is there a strict Wikipedia convention that only a unitary authority can have such a map? If not, please may we have a map of Oxford for the infoboxes of districts within Oxford?

deforestation in Borneo
Article(s): Borneo - image not there yet. Request: Hi, I would like to use this map image in the Borneo article (possibly also creating a Deforestation in Borneo article). My map is derived from the map on this page: maps.grida.no/go/graphic/extent-of-deforestation-in-borneo-1950-2005-and-projection-towards-2020. Can you help me convert it to svp? I would want the outline map of Borneo used, something like this one:, but without the red spot! It would need the dates on the original reinstated: 1950  1985   2000 2005   2010   2020 in the appropriate font. Can you help?--Annielogue (talk) 17:30, 5 April 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Tornado track map

Good luck and thanks in advance, Ks0stm (T•C•G) 19:21, 9 April 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): I wouldn't say its impossible to do but that map is so intricate and detailed that it would take a rather long time to draw from scratch as an SVG, regards  Fallschirmjäger   &#9993; 23:10, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

This is my first time actually doing something here, so I hope I'm editing appropriately here. Anyway, I'm not up to converting to SVG, but I did change the color to 3F6CFF. Uploaded the file to File:Cetacea range map Sperm Whale 5.png. Pfly (talk) 09:32, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
