Extract geodata
Again a data extraction request I do not know how to do it: There is File:Map of Upper Abkhazia.svg, and I am looking for the boundary of this area as a shapefile. Could anyone here extract that?--Antemister (talk) 09:05, 22 July 2023 (UTC)


 * @Antemister: There isn't an easy way to turn an SVG into a shapefile. might be willing to disclose the data source they used to generate the map. If that fails, you should be able to generate the sub-watersheds from a DEM and trace the parts you are interested in. -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 09:33, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Not sufficiently skilled in GIS, that's why I have asked, hoped that the SVG still contains the original coordinates. Will ask Giorgi Balakhadze.--Antemister (talk) 10:50, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Request:
 * Could someone please create an SVG flag map for the short-lived state of Zimbabwe Rhodesia, using the flag provided above. I've also provided the already-existing SVG flag maps representing the other Zimbabwean/Rhodesian regimes from throughout the years, to give an idea as to how it should be done. Thanks.

 * @Snow Lion Fenian done, please see File:Flag map of Zimbabwe Rhodesia (1979).svg. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the flag, I was unable to fit the entirety of the symbol in. –  I s o chrone (T) 10:07, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Locator map of geographic Siberia in the gray and green globe scheme

 * Article(s):
 * Siberia
 * North Asia


 * Request:
 * The current map of Siberia/North Asia uses the Ural Federal District as the western border of Siberia, can someone make a map where the western border is the Ural Mountains instead (the Ural Mountains is the geographic western border of Siberia, not the western border of the Ural Federal District, although they are similar)? Also, the current map is centered on Russia and not Siberia, so could this map be centered on Siberia instead of Russia? -- Treetoes023 (talk) 18:04, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Could you do this request? As always, it's okay if you don't want to or can't, I know you are busy and you are under no obligation to do this request. – Treetoes023 (talk) 18:08, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * tbh, the time that I tend to allocate to making maps has been eaten up by some disruptive editing that I have been dealing with. I didn't even start the request that I took and don't plan on taking another until things calm down a little. I'll let you know if the situation changes. M.Bitton (talk) 18:33, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Update Welsh language map

 * Article(s):
 * Welsh language


 * Request:
 * This map (made by the now inactive user SkateTier) is a map of the percentage of people aged three years or older able to speak Welsh by Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) using statistics from the 2011 Welsh census, can someone make a map of the percentage of people aged three years or older able to speak Welsh by Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) using statistics from the 2021 Welsh census? The Welsh Government made its own map, but it only divides the LSOAs into 5 categories, opposed to the 10 categories that SkateTier's map divides the LSOAs into. When making the map, stick to the 10 categories present in SkateTier's map, instead of the 5 categories in the Welsh Government's map. Also use the same colors as SkateTier's map. If it helps, SkateTier's map was made using QGIS. -- Treetoes023 (talk) 03:11, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Indiana Jones locations map
Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 22:21, 28 July 2023 (UTC) (this request is also present in the Commons:Graphic Lab/Map workshop)


 * Article(s):
 * Indiana Jones


 * Request:
 * Could someone please modify the above map showing the countries visited throughout the Indiana Jones film franchise, to include those in which on-screen events occur during The Dial of Destiny film. Having seen the film recently, I can confirm that the relevant countries are: France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Morocco, Greece and Italy.


 * I'd recommend using the same shade of purple in which the United States is already shaded to represent the new set of countries. And I'd also recommend using a diagonal stripe pattern for countries seen in more than one film (similar to Peru). Which means the United States should be re-shaded in red-blue-yellow-purple stripes, and Italy should be re-shaded in blue and purple stripes. Thanks.

 * @CT55555 hi @CT55555, so I've done your request but there are some stupid SVG bugs that are being really irksome, the file is here but it doesn't display correctly until you click on the thumbnail to load the SVG in your browser. I've asked for some help on the relevant forum and if it doesn't work I may just say the file as a PDF (hopefully not).In the meantime, feel free to suggest any changes as appropriate. I have intentionally neglected a key as it would make more sense in the caption. The relevant wikitext is below. I also made a shaded relief background, as I thought the geology was relevant, but I'm happy to remove it.{{legend|#7fd496|Granite, granitic gneiss}}{{legend|#87d8f4|Paragneiss para-amphibolite}}{{legend|#db91a4|Marble}}{{legend|#e8ee87|Syenite, syenitic and hybrid gneiss}}{{legend|#a1947a|Metagabbro}} –  I s o chrone (T) 20:34, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Request:
 * Hi, I'm looking for someone to do a free version of the 2023 Tour de France Femmes map - the official one is here. As with last year, I asked Andrei loas who has previously done excellent maps (e.g. this for the 2022 men's race) if he could create one, but he hasn't got back to me unfortunately.

 * I just found out some stuff about the border between Russia and Asia that you should know for the map.
 * The Ural river cuts into Russia a little bit putting a piece of Russia in Central Asia. Visualized by this map.
 * Some of Russia's border goes south of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, making a small piece of Russia part of West Asia. Visualized by this map (in the upper left corner of the map).
 * The boundaries between Europe and Asia that I am using are the ones provided in the first paragraph of the lede of the Europe article (I added a link directly to the text I am referring to so it is easier for you to find). I hope this helps. – Treetoes023 (talk) 05:57, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
 * We already had a similar conversation about loosely defined concepts. If you recall, I said that I tend to choose one and stick to it, which in this instance would make European Russia equal to "Russia" minus "Siberia" (the previous map whose borders were defined by the Ural Mountains and not the river).

Replace font in map

 * Article(s):
 * History of East Asia
 * Korea under Japanese rule
 * and many more


 * Request:
 * Simple font replacement. It's a great map, but the font feels like a Wonton font. The orig creator's other maps of East Asia (notably Japan) use similar fonts, but their maps for elsewhere do not. I think they had good intentions, but a more neutral font would raise fewer eyebrows. -- toobigtokale (talk) 00:35, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
