Request

Current nutria range map seems to be outdated as its source is from 2005. The best modern source I've found is this one: [1]. Maybe 'potential current distribution' can be added in a different colour? Artem.G (talk) 20:48, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

 Done @Artem.G: M.Bitton (talk) 15:06, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

hey, thanks! I've checked the iucn website, and under geographical details there are these countries:

Extant & Introduced (resident) Austria; Belgium; Czechia; Denmark; France (France (mainland)); Germany; Greece (Greece (mainland)); Hungary; Italy (Italy (mainland)); Netherlands; Norway; Poland; Romania; Spain (Spain (mainland)); Sweden; Switzerland; United Kingdom

Extant & Introduced Japan; United States

Can you please add them to the map? Artem.G (talk) 15:17, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by adding them or how that could be achieved, as simply adding the countries (without a range) would be misleading at best (probably the reason they are not shown on their map). M.Bitton (talk) 15:22, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

I understand that concern, but current map can is also misleading because it shows the range to be only in South America, while there is a lot of data and observations saying otherwise. I'll try to find another source that gives an introduced range. Artem.G (talk) 16:49, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

One possible way to do it would be to highlight the countries and add a note explaining that it's been introduced there, something like:

  Countries where is has been introduced

Let me know if that works for you. M.Bitton (talk) 17:10, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, I think it'll work! The other good source I've found is this article [2], but it's not a good idea to mix sources for a map, so your solution is better. Artem.G (talk) 19:12, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

 Done @Artem.G: Let me know what you think. M.Bitton (talk) 00:29, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Looks good, thank you! Artem.G (talk) 07:28, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Bee Branch Creek (Iowa)

Request

I want a map of the course of the Bee Branch. I previously had one but I screwed up on the copyright and the owner stopped responding to me. The USGS [4] has a decent course till a detention basin where it goes underground. Afterwards, it has not been updated to include the daylighted segments. There are still sections of the Bee Branch that have not been daylighted and I am unsure how that section would be executed. OSM [5] does have the rest of the creek. -- ✶Mitch199811✶ 18:08, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

polyhedral map projection, Dymaxion map

The above articles would highly benefit from having an image similar to http://images.newscientist.com/wp-content/gallery/unfolding-the-earth/00335340658.jpg showing how polyhedral world maps can be developed from the convex regular polyhedra.

Would anyone feel inclined to vectorise the above (with significant changes such as 3D rotation of the polyhedra to avoid copyright issues)?
