== SVG locator maps of Mainland Southeast Asia and Maritime Southeast Asia in the gray and green globe scheme ==

;Request:
: Create SVG locator maps of Mainland Southeast Asia and Maritime Southeast Asia in the gray and green globe scheme. Mainland Southeast Asia is all of the land in Southeast Asia on the Asian continent. Maritime Southeast Asia is all of the land in Southeast Asia not on the Asian continent (all of the islands in Southeast Asia). In the map of Maritime Southeast Asia, do not include islands that are a part of Southeast Asian countries but are not in Southeast Asia geographically. An example of this is New Guinea and the islands in its immediate surroundings, part of New Guinea and some of the surrounding islands are owned by the Southeast Asian country Indonesia, but they are not considered to be a part of Southeast Asia geographically because they are a part of Oceania. Also, do include islands that are owned by non-Southeast Asian countries but are geographically a part of Maritime Southeast Asia, such as the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Ashmore and Cartier Islands, and Christmas Island, which are all owned by the Oceanic country of Australia, but are geographically located in Maritime Southeast Asia. -- [[User:Treetoes023|Treetoes023]] ([[User talk:Treetoes023|talk]]) 14:54, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

;Request:
: Hey everyone. On the [[Iroquois]] article and several others throughout the other language wikipedias, this map is used to show the historical vs current territory of the tribes that make up the Haudenosaunee / Iroquois Confederacy in the U.S. and Canada. However, the scope of the map itself is far too broad, it makes it difficult to distinguish the pink (current) and purple (historical) territories in an infobox, and it includes too much geographic area that is irrelevant to the Haudenosaunee, like South America, the Pacific Ocean, the far North, etc. This is the only vector map of the Haudenosaunee I could find on the Commons, however, there aren't any reliable sources linked in its Commons page. Most maps online for Haudenosaunee or Iroquois show the territories of the five tribes strictly within New York State, however the most notable and complete map I can think of is the one used by Historia Civillis in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4gU2Tsv6hY his video on the Iroquois Confederacy] (e.g. at 2:18). His map is almost certainly not free to use, but he did cite his sources for the video, and I'm sure they'd make good reads along the way.

:''Background'' 
:There are two definitions of "Anatolia" - as described in the article. There's a traditional geographical definition which is reflected in the above Infobox existing map. This is sourced to ''[[Merriam-Webster's Geographical Dictionary]]''. See {{cite book |title=Merriam-Webster's Geographical Dictionary |year=2001 |isbn=978-0-87779-546-9 |page=46 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Co_VIPIJerIC&q=anatolia+geographical+dictionary&pg=PA883 |last1=Hopkins |first1=Daniel J. |last2=Staff |first2=Merriam-Webster |author3=편집부 |publisher=Merriam-Webster |quote=Anatolia: The part of Turkey in Asia equivalent to the peninsula of Asia Minor up to indefinite line on E from Gulf of Iskenderun to Black Sea comprising about three fifths of Turkey's provinces}}. The Turkish government have their own definition which is basically co-terminous with all of Turkey that's in Asia i.e. the boundary goes past the Iskenderun/Black Sea line to the country's eastern and southern boundaries. This is reflected here: {{cite book | last=McColl | first=R. W. | title=Encyclopedia of World Geography | publisher=Facts On File | year=2014 | isbn=978-0-8160-7229-3 |p=922 |quote=Thrace, its European area, is about the size of VERMONT at 9,412 square mi (24,378 square km). Its Asian area (Asia Minor) is called Anatolia and covers 291,971 square mi (756,202 square km)}}. Could we have a map that illustrates both. Probably the easiest way to do that is to colour the remaining part of Asian Turkey on the existing map light green. The caption legend can then explain that the dark green is the traditional definition and dark + light = Turkish government favoured definition.

{{ping|Kiwipete}} Here are some thoughts regarding this request.
* [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ece5eYvNNxSoZ5JMl1Ted53Qown7TVMX/view?usp=sharing I have here] superimposed the location map (red lines) on top of the relief map, keeping the proportions of both map. For a quick look they look the same and as we (graphic worker) probably have zero knowledge of this subject you would have to specify which borders to change and to what.
* Depending on what is to be changed it can be a bit hard on a jpg.
There is another solution which is to create a new map (based on the location map) in svg as a relief map. I mean a true svg, not with a bitmap incorporated in it. The disadvantages are that it will not be as smooth as a bitmapp and it will be heavier in Mb.<br>
Here you see some examples;<br>
