Extract geodata

Again a data extraction request I do not know how to do it: There is File:Map of Upper Abkhazia.svg, and I am looking for the boundary of this area as a shapefile. Could anyone here extract that?--Antemister (talk) 09:05, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

@Antemister: There isn't an easy way to turn an SVG into a shapefile. Giorgi Balakhadze might be willing to disclose the data source they used to generate the map. If that fails, you should be able to generate the sub-watersheds from a DEM and trace the parts you are interested in. -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 09:33, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Not sufficiently skilled in GIS, that's why I have asked, hoped that the SVG still contains the original coordinates. Will ask Giorgi Balakhadze.--Antemister (talk) 10:50, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Request

Could someone please create an SVG flag map for the short-lived state of Zimbabwe Rhodesia, using the flag provided above. I've also provided the already-existing SVG flag maps representing the other Zimbabwean/Rhodesian regimes from throughout the years, to give an idea as to how it should be done. Thanks.

@Snow Lion Fenian done, please see File:Flag map of Zimbabwe Rhodesia (1979).svg. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the flag, I was unable to fit the entirety of the symbol in. – Isochrone (T) 10:07, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Isochrone: Thats perfectly okay, and thanks again for helping out! I do appreciate it greatly. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 17:14, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

North Asia

Request

The current map of Siberia/North Asia uses the Ural Federal District as the western border of Siberia, can someone make a map where the western border is the Ural Mountains instead (the Ural Mountains is the geographic western border of Siberia, not the western border of the Ural Federal District, although they are similar)? Also, the current map is centered on Russia and not Siberia, so could this map be centered on Siberia instead of Russia? -- Treetoes023 (talk) 18:04, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

@M.Bitton: Could you do this request? As always, it's okay if you don't want to or can't, I know you are busy and you are under no obligation to do this request. – Treetoes023 (talk) 18:08, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

@Treetoes023: tbh, the time that I tend to allocate to making maps has been eaten up by some disruptive editing that I have been dealing with. I didn't even start the request that I took and don't plan on taking another until things calm down a little. I'll let you know if the situation changes. M.Bitton (talk) 18:33, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

@M.Bitton: That's okay, no worries! Good luck with dealing with the disruptive editing. – Treetoes023 (talk) 18:39, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
