More on gray wolf range
Article(s): Gray wolf Request: Incorporate the Ethiopian highlands (as illustrated here: http://www.ilri.org/InfoServ/Webpub/fulldocs/Bulletin17/image/FIG%201.jpg) into the species' current range (as discovered in this study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3027653/?tool=pmcentrez).

 * UPDATE: According to this study here, Gaubert P, Bloch C, Benyacoub S, Abdelhamid A, Pagani P, et al. (2012) Reviving the African Wolf Canis lupus lupaster in North and West Africa: A Mitochondrial Lineage Ranging More than 6,000 km Wide. PLoS ONE 7(8): e42740. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0042740, Algeria, Senegal and Mali should also be incorporated. Cheers. Mariomassone (talk) 14:54, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: Not done, that isn't a gray wolf, at least as currently classified, see Egyptian Jackal. One study suggesting reclassification does not equal a consensus in the biological community. Kmusser (talk) 16:51, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

gray wolf subspecies
Article(s): Gray wolf, Subspecies of Canis lupus Request: We need some updates on those maps. That's a pretty easy job that won't take further than 15 minutes. First thing is the update maps of US(second map). You can find a up to date map here. Another job is, "Caspian Wolf"( purple) is now invalid, delete that subspecies and add habitat to "Eurasian Wolf"(both maps) (and delete the subspecies name at the list below). And also, "Eurasian Wolf" also found on throughout Black Sea Region(both maps). Please make that habitat. And, "Russian Wolf" is found on Central and Southern Kamchatka, add that habitat(both maps). Wolves tend to be visit Gobi Desert but that's an unusual habitat and should not be represented. Leave the Gobi Desert gray(non-habitat). That also applies to Karakum Desert(both maps). Wolves did not expirated from central Russia, fill that blank according to original distirbution map(second map). Finally, there are Tundra wolves on Northern Scandinavia(first map), make that habitat. Westnest  message  11:53, 10 August 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): OK, I updated them to make them a little more consistent with each other and the more general gray wolf map above so it should be better than it was. I think they're still pretty messed up though, the most obvious error being that the Steppe wolf and Tibetan wolf are missing entirely. For your other changes I'd want citations - really to fix this map properly we'd have citations for each subspecies range. I did a little bit of online searching but most of what I found was too vague to be useful. I did notice though that these maps don't bear much resemblance to other wolf subspecies maps out there.

Baltimore / Enterprise Zone
Article(s): Baltimore Development Corporation, Urban Enterprise Zone, Baltimore Request: It would be great to have the map of Baltimore Enterprise Zones up on this page. We did have a map, presented as fair use, but it was deleted. The user who deleted it told me that you all could help me to reconstruct the map. Well, looking around, I see there's not even an SVG map of Baltimore on Commons, so perhaps that's really the starting point. I'd like to help as much as possible, but I am pretty n00b at digital map-making. Thanks! groupuscule (talk) 02:30, 20 August 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Operation Head Start
Article(s): Operation Head Start Request: I was wondering if someone could turn the image here (also at 1:21 in the film) into a map. I would attempt to do it, but since I have no faith in my mapping skills, I was wondering if someone could do it for me. If you want me to upload an image of that map to Commons, I can do that.

Geo-referenced map of Yukon
Article(s): Ibex Valley, Category:Yukon Request: Would it be possible to georeference these maps? Ultimately, a relief map would also be useful, but I couldn't find one in commons. If these are simple tasks, you can direct me to some help page or tutorial on my name page and I can do it myself. Keep in mind that I am not a cartographer, nor do I have any fancy software. Google earth is about as far as my mapping skills go. I'm not super happy with either of these maps, to tell you the truth, I'd like one that shows Whitehorse and the communities and the major roads in the Territory. If I can find one of those, can it be georeferenced? If neither of these maps are able to be georeferenced, please let me know. I'm willing to do some legwork as required, I just really don't know what you need. Thanks. --JonGDixon (talk) Graphist opinion(s):

Caspian dialects
Article(s): Caspian languages Request: png or svgify... Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 10:16, 15 November 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):
 * ✅. Vectorized. I added only the larger cities, as the old one was to cluttered with names. I took the liberty of adding the Semnani languages as well, due to similarity and small area of distribution (but added a note saying they are not Caspian, just a bit similar). If you feel it needs to be enlarged, somebody else should do it as I don't know how to do it. Feel free to use in articles. PS. I could add the Talysh language as well if necessary - ArnoldPlaton (talk) 22:27, 20 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Fantastic, thank you!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 11:47, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
