Norway height c. 1265
Article(s): I am currently working on Haakon IV of Norway where I'd like a more detailed map than the present one, but the map would be relevant for plenty other articles; History of Norway etc. Request: I would like a better map of the Norwegian kingdom at its territorial height, c. 1265. For reference, I imagine something similar to the following map (from an external website) in a nice svg:  I can help with translations if necessary. Just for reference; other than the somewhat different border with Sweden from today (roughly includes what then belonged to Bohuslän, Värmland and Jämtland), outlying territories includes the Isle of Man, the Hebrides, Orkney, Shetland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland (note that it only includes the settlements called the Western Settlement and the Eastern Settlement). — Filippusson (t.) 16:37, 11 April 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion:

Ottoman Vilayets
Article(s): Vilayet. Derivative maps highlighting each vilayet would be created later. Request: Creating an accurate location map of the inner borders of the late Ottoman Empire could prove something of a challenge, because there were countless modifications as a results of territories being annexed by other powers, as well as internal reforms. Sometimes, even maps published in the same year contradict one another on the extent of a province. The currently used location maps, such as this one for Sivas, are poorly made derivatives of a source file lacking factual accuracy (and yes, I created them :P). The three maps above, taken from western atlases from the early 20th century, are close enough in publication date (1909 to 1911) so that any risk of such discrepancies should be minimised. The location map should ideally show the Ottoman vilayets of Europe, Asia and Arabia (shown in the bottom left of the first map), either in the same file or separately, at the artist's discretion. eh bien mon prince (talk) 14:00, 14 April 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Request: The map is out of date as the South Downs have been "promoted" to National Park status. If the whole map can be redrawn to a higher quality, so much the better. Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:00, 21 April 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Kingdom of Georgia after Fragmentation
Request: Thank you. GeorgianJorjadze (talk) 19:12, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Please redraw first image into the format of SVG as it has in the second image by giving all kingdoms and principalities its borders but one green colour as it is in the second image.
 * Please include only Kingdoms of Kartli, Kakheti and Imereti with Principalities of Guria (It's written Adscharien what is wrong as it is Guria), Svaneti, Abkhazeti, Samegrelo and Meskheti (Samzche should be written as Meskheti).
 * Please include only these Georgian lands.
 * Please do not include any more names but only the names of these 3 Georgian kingdoms and 5 principalities.
 * Please do not include the neighboring states or lands.
 * I am starting to believe that you are engaging in the creation of propaganda maps: not only are you "Georgifying" place-names and being very selective about what borders at wat time-periods you want to show, you are removing mention of adjacent territories which are necessary for a proper understanding of the time-periods depicted.

Improve accessibility
Article(s): 2008–2009 Ukrainian financial crisis, 2008–2012 global financial crisis, and Contemporary history Request: My red-green colorblindness makes this map almost meaningless to me — I can't tell the difference between 10%+ growth rates and 10%+ shrinkage rates. All I'm asking is that you change some colors away from green-based to something such as blue-based, but I don't care whether you change the growth or the shrinkage. Nyttend (talk) 12:04, 14 April 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):


 * The trouble with color-blindness is that there is always one group excluded. A solution is to use not color gradiants, but darkness gradiants. By the way, Nyttend: we need color blind graphists to push forward this issue, make test, and proposal such as a color palette. Yug (talk)  15:10, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * So...because you can't make everyone happy all at once, you refuse to do anything at all? Please read color blindness; while the blue idea isn't the best, you could pick something that's friendly both to red/green and blue/yellow people.  Nyttend (talk) 12:35, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

NCAA bids by state (women's basketball) for one year
Article(s): 2011 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, 2011 NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Tournament Request:
 * I think I figured this out myself, but before I go ahead and 30 maps, I've love it if someone looked at my image, and passed along any suggestions for improvement, in particular, how do I add Washington, D.C., as I seem to be unable to select it in Inkscape. -- SPhilbrick (Talk)  17:02, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Mixture map - World and India (Very Urgent)
Article(s): Ra.One Request: Okay, this is a complicated request, so I'll be detailed to avoid any future problems. I want to have something of a film-print distribution map. In the World map, I want the following :-


 * Coloring of countries
 * Light yellow - Germany, South Korea, US, UK, China
 * Light green - Taiwan, New Zealand, Russia, the entire Middle East, Australia, Canada
 * Orange - Pakistan, Singapore, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Palestine, Brazil , Spain, Italy, Greece
 * Light blue - India


 * Within the shaded regions, I want certain numbers to be written as well. The necessary numbers are :- Germany (600), South Korea (250), US (344), UK (202), China (1,000), Taiwan and New Zealand (25 each), Russia (75), Middle East (79), Australia (51), Canada (49), India (3,500). Please add an asterisk to China. For the countries not mentioned, nothing should be written in the respective shaded regions.

Now here comes the tricky bit. I want India to be circled in the World map and zoomed up in such a way that the zoomed portion comes out of the World map; the zoomed map will be the blank India map. In this India map :-


 * All states except Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh must be shaded light pink. In this shading, 3,100 should be written.


 * Tamil Nadu should be shaded light brown. In this shading, 275 should be written.


 * Andhra Pradesh should be shaded light grey. In this shading, 125 should be written.

A key should also be added. It should go as such, in this order :-


 * Orange - N/A


 * Light green - <100 prints


 * Light yellow - 100 to 1,000 prints

I know this could be a bit of a challenge in terms of time, but I need this map quite urgently for FAC purposes. I'd be really obliged if somebody could do this map by today or at least by tomorrow. Thanks! ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 16:45, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): ✅ I applied the legend colors to the Indian states map (I think it makes more sense.) I also didn't use zooming here to avoid cluttering and covering parts of the map. I hope you like the result. Cheers! -- Orionist  ★  talk  21:59, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * P.S. you might want to check the image description and the Commons categories (I have no idea what category applies here.)

Map fixing
Article(s): Coastal states Request: This is a map that shows what U.S. states have coastlines. Green states are states with Great Lakes shorelines and red states are states with an ocean coastline or both Great Lakes and ocean coastlines. The states of Maryland should be shaded red because it has a coastline on the Atlantic Ocean but it is shaded gray. Shadow (talk) 23:30, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
