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

Article(s)
Mainland Southeast Asia
Maritime Southeast Asia
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. -- Treetoes023 (talk) 14:54, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Isochrone: Would you be willing to do this request? The map would be identical to the map of Kurdistan that you made a while back, the only difference being the location depicted. – Treetoes023 (talk) 02:15, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I feel that this would be better as a standard location map as oblasts, hydrography and relief are important features that cannot be depicted on an othographic map. – Isochrone (T) 08:48, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Isochrone: Could you do both? I think orthographic maps are always useful as they display a region in relation to the rest of the world, but you are right that there is a need for a map that displays things an orthographic map cannot. – Treetoes023 (talk) 11:14, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

we can use that and make a new svg version of the one you want.

@Kaiyr I just want you to know I'm working on it but I have also been trying to find a vector map down to tehsils. I have now found a dataset which I'm converting to a usable svg which I can upload as a base map with the three different levels. We can then use that for your request and for future usage.

@Kaiyr I just want you to know I am working on your request. Your source map and the background map I'm using does not line up, also the tehsils are different in those maps and your source map has even smaller divisions in it. All of this makes it rather complex, difficult and circumstantial to create the svg map.

Presidential primaries and caucuses Map Rules

Request
Create a map on Presidential primaries and caucuses Rules Map?? For example which states have Open primary/caucus, which states have Closed primary/caucus and which have Semi-closed primary/caucus. Each state can be colored in a different color. Dark red for Closed primary/caucus, red for Semi-closed primary/caucus, and light red for Open primary/caucus.

Here are the sources for each state rules in 2020. [1]

I would like a Map for the Republican primary/caucuses rules, if you could make an extra one for the Democratic rules that would be good.Muaza Husni (talk) 08:56, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

@Muaza Husni it's a little more complex than just these three categories because of various state statutes governing how these things work. See this document from National Conference of State Legislatures[1]. It would only be possible to make it for a presidential election year as far as I can tell because some states allow that individual parties to change at their discretion. Would you be satisfied with a map for just 2024? It will take me some time to verify the table listed in the above source but I will make this for you if you're fine with just a map for 2024. Philipnelson99 (talk) 12:14, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Philipnelson99 Yes you can make a map for 2024. Muaza Husni (talk) 05:58, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Muaza Husni after looking at it I'm not sure how easy it is to distinguish between open/semi-open. Do you have a preference...? Philipnelson99 (talk) 22:54, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Philipnelson99 Maybe the states could be grouped, with just two options 1. (Open/Semi-open primary) and (closed-semi closed primary). Would that help.Muaza Husni (talk) 03:12, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've started work on this but I don't think I'm going to have time to finish it since it involves collecting the data by hand. [
Here is what I have so far. Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:22, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Philipnelson99 Hi so what do you think We should do with you saying I don't think I'm going to have time to finish it since it involves collecting the data by hand I was thinking instead of collecting the date by hand would it just be easer to do the 2020 rules from the ballotpedia or what do you think We should do??. [2]

And I was looking into the Map https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_Republican_Primary_status_2024_(incomplete).svg

I can't found the details of the color system? is it dark red for closed primary, lite red for Semiclosed and orange is open primary??. Thank you for your work so far.Muaza Husni (talk) 03:10, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Bitton:I have a map in my mind, a tight blue line for the river and the general Sri Lanka map used throughout Wikipedia.
I reviewed the attached map, I have a slight feeling that the river in that map is tad incorrect and short. If a complete remake is impossible, please make the river line wider on the given map. In the current version it is hard to see which one is the river and which one is the District line.
Is there any other place where a fellow can pull-of a big creation using the data from OpenStreetMap?
Thanks in Advance. VScode fanboy (talk) 18:01, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If accuracy is what you're after, then Openstreetmap should be avoided since it's user generated (basically, good enough for streets and the like, but not more than that). I have a database of all the rivers somewhere, I'll look for it. If I can't find it, I'll create a new map based on the one that I linked to. M.Bitton (talk) 20:41, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@M.Bitton I believe openstreetmap is good for my needs, I personally know the tracing of the mahaweli River done on a electric boat.
Please continue doing it either from the database or the map you linked (the linked map has a data source, look in to it too?)

Request to re-make File:Haudenosaunee_Territory.png

Historical vs. Current extent of the Haudenosaunee / Iroquois Confederacy

Historia Civillis' video thumbnail

Article(s)
Iroqouis
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 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.

Anatolia
Request
Could we amend the above map in the Infobox of Anatolia to have the currently uncoloured part of Asian Turkey coloured light green.
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 Hopkins, Daniel J.; Staff, Merriam-Webster; 편집부 (2001). Merriam-Webster's Geographical Dictionary. Merriam-Webster. p. 46. ISBN 978-0-87779-546-9. 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: McColl, R. W. (2014). Encyclopedia of World Geography. Facts On File. p. 922. ISBN 978-0-8160-7229-3. 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. DeCausa (talk) 21:49, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Zealand relief map with correct boundaries

This request is a follow-up to the discussion here. Could the relief map in Module:Location map/data/New Zealand please be updated so that the boundaries, which are currently incorrect, be made the same as the location map? -- Kiwipete (talk) 07:39, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion

@Kiwipete: Here are some thoughts regarding this request.

  • 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.
Here you see some examples;
Amhara topographic map
