Hi, would it be possible to create .svg administrative municipal location map of the Czech Republic (similar to this map of Austria: https://en.populationdata.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/autriche-administrative-1.jpg also similar to /media/wikipedia/commons/f/fd/Germany_%28%2Bdistricts_%2Bmunicipalities%29_location_map_current.svg) As background map should be used: https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:Czech_Republic_adm_location_map.svg

The consejo popular (CP) or transalted as "Popular Councils" in english are basically electoral wards of Cuba. Im requesting a CP blank map of Havana, that we can also use as a location map. I would also like one for every province, but its hard to find maps of the CP in rural areas so only Havana will be good. Source - CubanoBoi (talk) 22:49, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Post-imperial organisations map - Gabon, Togo, Vanuatu, The Gambia and the Maldives

Any article this map already appears on.

Request

Alright, could someone please make the following changes to the above map:

1) Gabon and Togo joined the Commonwealth of Nations on 25 June 2022, while also retaining their membership of La Francophonie, hence they should be changed to blue-and-red stripes (like Canada, Cameroon and Rwanda) to refect that.

2) Vanuatu has been a member of both the CON and LF since independence, so it should also have blue-and-red stripes.

3) The Gambia and the Maldives rejoined the Commonwealth in 2018 and 2020 respectively, so they should both be changed from white to red.

SVG version with broken thumbnail

I made an SVG version that includes all of your changes plus a few more changes for accuracy I noticed while compiling the list of members of each organization. Something's wonky with the striped patterns that's making them disappear from the thumbnail, so I'm not marking this complete yet, as I'll come back later and fix it (may need to just have different colors to show each combination). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragon401k (talk • contribs) 18:45, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

@Snow Lion Fenian  Done So it seems like the problem with the first version is that when rendering patterns that are less than 1px wide at a given resolution, librsvg just fails to load the entire pattern. The size of this map versus the size of some of the micronations that need patterned fills means it's not practical to use patterns here. I've gone ahead and combined the colors of each pair of organizations to create a color to denote "both X and Y", but it's tricky to create colors that 1) look nice 2) are colorblind accessible and 3) make intuitive sense with this set of data. Happy to let someone else take a stab at this! I'm not going to add the {{vector version available}} template to the PNG version since I don't think the SVG one is vastly superior. Dragon401k (talk) 22:15, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

@Dragon401k: That's fantastic, thank you for doing this so quickly! It's so great to have an SVG version of this map with all the necessary corrections.

Say, I know this wasn't part of my original request, but while we're still here, I can't help but ask if you'd be willing to add the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (which has nine members) to the SVG map, as it seems as though it would fit into the same category as the other international organisations already shown? Or would you rather if I made that as a separate request? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 23:14, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Adding CPLC to the map complicates it in a way I think makes it far less readable, adding five new categories to cover just 9 total countries. Here's a preview of a version I mocked up that adds CPLC in black (so combinations are just darkened versions of the other colors). I don't think it makes for a good/useful map.

Just brainstorming here, but one way to get around this would be to outline the countries with the color instead of filling them in, so that you could stack outlines on top of each other to show countries with multiple affiliations. I have no idea how to even begin accomplishing that cleanly-- I messed around in Inkscape for awhile to make this as a proof of concept, but there's loads of issues (see the outlines of the French overseas departments drifting way off course, plus I accomplished this by duplicating each country, which adds a ton of bloat to the file). Maybe someone with a better grasp on SVG editing could figure out a way to accomplish this, or maybe there's another way to display this info more cleanly, but as is that's all I've got. Dragon401k (talk) 01:53, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

@Dragon401k: That's okay, I understand your concerns. And don't worry about the issue of the shadings. I'll most likely make another request at some point in the future, to see if anyone can do the things you pointed out. Anyhow, thanks again for creating this great SVG map, I appreciate it greatly.

Request

I'd like to request the following updates to wolf distribution maps in all of the articles listed (Sources with detailed maps below):

Mexican wolf range: The Arizona and New Mexico ranges should expand northward, at least to Highway I-40. This is the farthest north that they are currently allowed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and individuals often disperse this far.

The Arizona range should be expanded westward toward at least the center of the state, and southward toward the border with Mexico.

The New Mexico range should also be expanded south toward the Mexico border, and eastward toward Highway I-25.

Great Lakes Wolf Range: Expanded range southward into Wisconsin

Northern Rockies Gray Wolf Range: Expanded range in Wyoming (southward)

Expanded range in Oregon and Washington State (eastward)

Presence in northern California and northern Colorado

Sources: The updated Mexican Wolf population distribution can be viewed here: https://www.fws.gov/species/mexican-wolf-canis-lupus-baileyi/map

The updated Mexican Wolf Experimental Population Area and Blue Range Recovery Area in the US can be found here: https://www.fws.gov/program/conserving-mexican-wolf/species

This US Federal Government delisting of Gray wolves from 2020 includes up-to-date maps of all wolf distributions and future range to expand in the US: https://www.regulations.gov/document/FWS-HQ-ES-2018-0097-107831

It's a long document, but the updated map I'm referring to is Figure 2: https://img.federalregister.gov/ER03NO20.017/ER03NO20.017_original_size.png

Summary Most of the articles listed above contain the same maps (North American Gray Wolf Subspecies Ranges), and would just need to replace that one map in each.

If these maps need to be prioritized, I request that the Mexican wolf Distribution map take precedence as it requires the greatest update, since the current map shows only two points where they were introduced. However, their present distribution and future range has greatly expanded (see first source).

Thank you for reviewing this request. This is my first time requesting a map update, so I apologize for any unnecessary complexity or missing elements. Please let me know if I can elaborate on anything and/or provide additional sources.

 Done I created an SVG version, made the change you requested with Minnesota, altered the color scheme to be more readable, and collapsed the categories from 10 year to 20 years, because with the old version there were a couple of colors that had only 1 or 2 states associated. I also added US territories to the map-- PR is the only territory with adultery laws ever on the books, as far as I could tell. Dragon401k (talk) 00:32, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

 Done File:Silk_road_Kazakhstan.svg. Without being sure of the projection used in the original map, I have manually warped the route onto the sphere in inkscape by eyeballing the positions of the towns along it. After about an hour of refinement using this process, I think this is an acceptable result. I'm not sure if you wanted Kazakhstan to remain highlighted, but that can easily be removed. small jars tc 19:45, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your hard work! I know how to fix Kazakhstan color and increase the stroke thickness in SVG, so don't worry about it. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 03:43, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
