Article(s): Listo Guatemala tullâvaarijn

Request

I would like only the Guatemalan volcano symbols and labels in the first image to be added to the Inari Sámi map of Guatemala in the second image and saved as a new file so we can use it in an article on the Inari Sámi wikipedia. The volcano labels are missing the diacritics in the gif and the following labels would need to be fixed: Santa María, Atitlán, and Tolimán. I would also appreciate if the symbol and label colors could match the SVG image color scheme better than the bright red of the GIF. Takkâ! :) --Yupik (talk) 09:04, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello!

Fortunately, the said portions of areas in the 3 neighboring countries are demarcated properly in various svg maps available in the Commons. --Haoreima (talk) 16:09, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

• @Haoreima: I have created an SVG map as per your request (Meitei language distribution.svg). However, the subnational boundaries are fairly inaccurate due to the inherent inaccuracy in the base map (Blank Map World Secondary Political Divisions.svg). You may consider using Meitei language distribution.png, which is much better. --Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 15:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

(Moved from Commons:File requests)

I'm not certain what the best source map would be, but I'd appreciate a Commons-compatible version of the map of Figure 6 (page 37) of this PDF (also accessible via this link) for the draft currently at en:User:Ljleppan/Polttoainehankinta. In addition to the Areas of Responsibility, it would be good to show the locations of en:Helsinki, en:Porkkala and a few of the larger cities (Perhaps en:Turku, en:Vaasa, en:Oulu, en:Rovaniemi and en:Ivalo if possible without sacrificing legibility?).

I'd also greatly appreciate Commons-version of the map(s) in Figure 5 (page 31) of the same PDF, but that's less of a priority.

Hi, I found this source, seems updated to 2018, but the administrative division is different than the one in your images (see here a quick export). Is it correct? In case i can generate the map. The best solution would be to find geographical shapefiles from official indian sources Sette-quattro (talk) 07:32, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Could someone make a version of this map in US English?

The idea is to have a good map in English of the Thirteen Colonies as they existed in 1775 before the US Declaration of Independence: a map that is not anachronistic—that is, a map that doesn't show boundaries of US states that did not exist at the time. إيان (talk) 23:30, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Chronological map of NATO membership

• 

Article(s): en:Enlargement of NATO

Request

This animated GIF of the chronology of NATO membership looks awful. I've again had to update it manually today, and really with it could be recreated either as a higher resolution GIF with smoother animation, or perhaps an animated SVG that might be both cleaner and easier to update. The only small trick is the borders in Europe should match the year each member joined. Thanks! -- Patrick, _oѺ^∞ 18:23, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

As far as I know, Mediawiki can't render animated SVGs. SmallJarsWithGreenLabels (talk) 00:01, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

That's fine, a high resolution GIF would also be a significant improvement. Or an OGG video even. The one we have is just garbage! Patrick, _oѺ^∞ 14:39, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

I think it's important for it to be easy to edit, so an OGG doesn't sound good. Personally I couldn't care less about the resolution, but what I really dislike about this gif is that the year label is all the way across from Europe, so it's impossible to keep track of without frantically looking back and forth between them. SmallJarsWithGreenLabels (talk) 11:34, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, just reiterating that a superior GIF file would also be a welcome option, particularly as news is breaking that Sweden's accession may be in the near future, which will necessitate another edit to the lousy old GIF. If I had the ability to create this, I might start with File:EC-EU-enlargement animation.gif, which shows what this could be like. Perhaps the U.S. and Canada could be an insert? There's also been the request to include frames showing when Trieste joined Italy in 1953, Saarsland rejoined West Germany in 1957, and Malta became independent in 1964 if possible. Thank you to anyone who can help! -- Patrick Neil, _oѺ^∞/Talk 15:57, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi! For some reason I was only pinged on the first and last messages (not the August 20 one) and since I'm on holidays until August 28 I didn't check my notifications as much as usual. I just checked and it seems that the researchgate link cites a book of archives from the 1950s and 1960s, so not free of rights.

Puerto Rico

• 

  Description of first image

Article(s): Hawaiʻi on Wiktionary; A lot

Request

I suggest adding Puerto Rico to the United States, unless it's not part of the United States.

Puerto Rico is part of the United States. People wonder why many Americans don't know it- well there's your answer. Just because "(US50)" appears in the title doesn't change how this image is actually used- see Hawaiʻi on Wiktionary. The caption there reads: "Hawaii in respect to the rest of the United States". You're giving people a stupid map that would need to be presented in a qualified way, and then that map is being used to imply that this is a map of the whole USA. You now get to choose whether WMF will continue to deceptively imply that Puerto Rico is somehow not part of the United States. Don't bring your decolonization ideological stuff at me when Russia still has Siberia and China has Tibet. As if! Yes Puerto Rico has got a special status. But they voted to become a state a few years ago (it wasn't accepted by the US Congress yet, this is just a fact that tends to discredit any "decolonization" ideological silliness). So Yes, it's the USA. Get off your high horse and show the people the full United States. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 22:26, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

• There are locator maps of Puerto Rico within the United States, similar to the above locator map of Hawaii. Take a look at the following maps:

• 

  Puerto Rico in United States (zoom + special marker) (US49)

• 

  Puerto Rico in United States (zoom + special marker) (US49+1)

• 

  Puerto Rico in United States (zoom) (US49)

• 

  Puerto Rico in United States (zoom) (US49+1)

• Also, you should not blame WMF for ignoring Puerto Rico as part of the US. It is generally not shown along with the 50 states and the federal district as US overseas territories are excluded from most maps. There's no "decolonization" ideology whatsoever on this matter, just a matter of convention. --Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 16:52, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

@Geographyinitiative: Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 15:51, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Pardon me, my comment above is a little bit intense! All I mean is that I feel that 1) if Puerto Rico appears on a map, 2) and the map does not show Puerto Rico as part of the USA, 3) then there should be a good reason, or a specific purpose for that map, rather than as a general map "of the USA". Hence I renew my request for the update to that map showing Hawai'i without showing Puerto Rico as part of the USA. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 16:16, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

In Description of first image, the position of the Hawaiian Archipelago inside the box is wrong. The islands need to turned to their correct geographical position. --Multituberculata (talk) 20:38, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

  Treaty of Accession 1972 European Communities map

Article(s): [[]]

Request

I was wondering if the map should be modified slightly to show that the treaty now currently no longer applies to the United Kingdom following Brexit. I was thinking that the best way to show this as unlike Norway which did not ratify following its referendum result and is shown in full red but because the UK did ratify I reckon the UK should be kept yellow but have red stripes though it so it’s still shows that the country did ratify but later withdrew and now the treaty no longer applies to the UK and should be noted that even if the UK ever rejoined the EU this treaty will never apply again as a new treaty of Accession would be needed with the UK.

All of Nagorno-Karabakh and the striped areas around it, need to be colored in striped green and white, because almost all Armenians fled the region in September/October 2023, but has still not been populated by Azerbaijani civilians in the striped areas, after Azerbaijan gained it in late 2020. The whole region is patrolled by Azerbaijani troops and police, who are the only human presence, hence why the whole region needs to be colored both in green and white stripes, rather than just in green or just in white. --Multituberculata (talk) 20:54, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Add a rotated (45 degrees) stripe pattern to North Korea (red and dark red).

To reflect the lack of consensus whether North Korea is still Marxist–Leninist or not. –Vipz (talk) 18:51, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Would it be possible to enhance this image? Similar to what has been done regarding this one for example : File:Belliou la Fumée - Hachette- page 17.jpg. This illustration will be on Wikisource in French. --Tpe.g5.stan (talk) 09:41, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

I edited the image like the other picture you linked, but some of the writing in the image is hard to read(even in the original), so if you want i could try making a higher resolution version and re write the text so that is is easier to read :3  Done Worm-b0y16 (talk) 12:48, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks a lot !

On republications of this book they have completely changed the map. It is most probably the editor's work anyway (the author has disappeared/died in the forest and the book was published posthumously). I do not think it will be necessary. Tpe.g5.stan (talk) 13:14, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

The internal borders of India urgently need to be updated. The borders of the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh which were created in 2019, and the borders of the State of Telangana, which was created in 2014, need to be drawn in the maps of India, which are very widely used in hundreds of articles across Wikipedia.
