Graphics Lab/Map workshop

The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
This specific page is the requests page for the Map workshop. Anyone can make a request for a map to be created or improved for a Wikipedia article. The standard format for making a request is shown below, along with general advice, and should be followed.
You are encouraged to share information and request advice from others. Also see possible conventions toolbox, map tutorials and topographic map tutorials.

Advice to requesters

What do we do? Location maps Area maps (animals, languages, empires, etc.) Historical and conflict related maps Battle maps Technical maps (archaeology, city closeups, etc.) Sourced requests: If possible, please try to provide a reliable source to create a map. This includes a map already on Wikipedia with a reliable source or an external link. Please check: Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed. Direct collaboration: Some mapmakers are especially interested by one topic area. If you notice a mapmaker fitting your needs, consider asking on their personal talk page to request maps. {{Reqmap}}: To request a map, you can also tag the talk page of the article in need of a map with or {{Reqmapin|Australia}} (articles then appear in Category:Wikipedia requested maps) If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.

To make states and union territories boundaries more visible. Now it is almost same as for districts.--Kaiyr (talk) 16:30, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

@Kaiyr If the base map on Commons:file:Baiga distribution.svg has all the correct borders, you have to check and tell me!

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

To edit the present png file like you want is hard and for the future a svg version is so much better and easier to edit. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:12, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

@Kaiyr That link will not work for me. You have to help me here, I have zero knowledge about different divisions/levels in India.

• Have you checked what we have at commons regarding svg maps of India divided, check this category and all of its subcategories to see if you can find a better base map. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:06, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Will be back with a draft. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

@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. So it will take some more time. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:20, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

.So @Kaiyr I now have a draft for you for the basemap down to tehsils.

----

Those drafts are PNG versions of the original SVG file I'm working in and will upload to commons.

Those drafts are shown for proofreading only.

----

The colors are picked so that they work for most people even with color deficiencies.

So check this basemap and let me know if it will work for you or what to edit, Draft basemap-1. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:48, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

@Kaiyr I would need your feedback per above, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:17, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

@Kaiyr I haven't got any feedback so now I have uploaded the basemap down to tehsils which can be used to create other maps, as I will use it to do your request here now.

You can find it here Inda states districts tehsils by census 2011.

• Please check all the information, also links for wikipedia, wikidata and structured data.

--always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:02, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

@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. But I have gotten a good bit on it and will continue, thanks for your patience. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 10:53, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

@Kaiyr

Now I have a Draft-1 for you to check. It was complex to redraw so really really check everything and give me feedback, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:27, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

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.

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)

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)

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

@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)

@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)

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)

@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??.

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)

I don't know whats next, how can we do this map.@Philipnelson99: Muaza Husni (talk) 14:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

@Isochrone: it should be fine (as long as you don't reproduce the exact same map). M.Bitton (talk) 13:37, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

I am also just not that huge of a fan of the above map: is this better (p10)? WWF feels like a more reliable source and this is a higher fidelity. – Isochrone (talk) 13:42, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure tbh, as that map is meant to show the forest and the protected areas (which could exclude some other areas). Ultimately, that's your call (just go with whatever you feel comfortable with). M.Bitton (talk) 13:54, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

@Isochrone @M.Bitton The best one I could find is this free one? It currently shows the Terai–Duar savanna and grasslands but it could be expanded to include the Terai region map? बडा काजी (talk) 11:55, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Request

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)

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
Celebes Sea-svg
Strait of Hormuz-svg-en
So now you have my thoughts regarding your request. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:03, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

•  Request taken. Since the main issue (according to this discussion) seems to be with the projection, I will have a go at adjusting the stretching to see whether it will improve the overall look of the map. M.Bitton (talk) 16:16, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

 Done the new location map is hopefully what you're after. Please note that I didn't add the boundaries of the regions to the new relief map as they serve no purpose other than to clutter the map (unlike international boundaries which are usually used to separate the country from its neighbours). M.Bitton (talk) 14:20, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Maps look good, and the boundaries on the political map seem to be fixed - thank you! My only thought is that the colours on the relief map don't line up with the conventions for topo maps, so it'd be good to get them updated if possible to be more in line with other relief maps. Turnagra (talk) 19:08, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Sure, though bear in mind that it will probably end up looking like the old one (which isn't great). M.Bitton (talk) 12:10, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Stitching of satellite images

Not a direct map request, rather looking for some assistance. From USGS EarthExplorer, I downloaded some early satellite images (the low-resolution preview version, high resolution is not available for free). These image are not georeferenced and show only very small areas, so for georeferenciation, the images need to be stitched first. Have not done that before, so the question, is there free software for that purpose?--Antemister (talk) 19:56, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Antemister, what product are you using from the EarthExplorer? I didn't even know there were things you could purchase from the site-- are you sure it isn't a free download? A georeferenced raster could very easily be merged in QGIS or similar. – Isochrone (talk) 21:00, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

It is about the "declassified data", it contain images from the early US reconnaissance satellites in the 1968s. The images are scanned, but only in low resolution and not properly georeferenced. What I want to do is drawing the shorelines of Aral Sea in 1968, for that I have to download a few dozens of these narrow stripes and then stitch them before georefencing.--Antemister (talk) 21:28, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Election map for the 2021 Teamsters election

2021 International Brotherhood of Teamsters election

Request

I'm hoping that someone could create an election map showing the results of the 2021 election for the general presidency of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, one of the largest trade unions in Canada and the United States.

The map would show the results of the election broken down by region (Eastern, Central, Southern, Western, and Canada). The American regions are composed of the following states/territories:

• Eastern: CT, DC , DE, MA, MD, ME, NC, NH, NJ, NY, PA, PR, RI, SC, VA, VT, WV
• Central: IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MI, MN, MO, NE, OH, WI
• Southern: AL, AR, FL, GA, LA, MS, OK, TN, TX
• Western: AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NM, NV, OR, UT, WA

I imagine it would be based on a map like File:North America blank map with state and province boundaries.png, but the only internal borders it would show would be between regions (rather than between every province and state). Ideally, it would also include Puerto Rico (but I support that could always be added later if need be).

It would be coloured according the popular vote in each region, using shades of the colours used in the article's infobox. The regional results are available at ibtvote.org/Election-Results. Thanks, Graham (talk) 02:35, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

We don't need the cities to be marked and labelled, but that would be nice (and is something I could do myself). We need to show the extent of the Empire: that it reached into three continents, to the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf.

I tend to do that for the requested maps that I take, but to be honest, I'm becoming less and less convinced that it's worth the extra effort as I often find myself reverting the uploads (overwrites) that have been made with Inkscape. That said, do you have a specific country in mind? M.Bitton (talk) 23:40, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

That is one good thing about these SVG template maps. They are created or updated with any text editor. Inkscape should not be used. Feel free to pick any country. I am just to trying to get the word out about this easy method to create data maps. The more countries the better. Then more people will try out this method. People just don't know how easy it is. I suggested some more possible topics for US maps (with data sources) on the instructions page. --Timeshifter (talk) 00:09, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Writing in support of @Timeshifter: I made this template using an idea pioneered by TilmannR. By opening the template in a text editor, deleting 5 characters and pasting in data in the appropriate format, saving it from a Web browser generates an SVG that can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.

I agree that it's much easier, but I'm still not convinced that it's worth the extra effort (even if I tend to do it just in case). As an example, I uploaded this map and wrote an instruction page for it. From what I can tell, the only editors who used it (here and here) ignored the instructions on how to use it properly and used Inkscape instead. M.Bitton (talk) 23:35, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

It looks like each one has to be done individually. Along with a color. That is a lot of work. Maybe cmglee can create a separate version of your template using his (and TilmannR) method.

There are 9 US maps created so far from the first and second versions of the cmglee map template. I created them. See them here:

Commons:Category:English-language SVG maps of the United States made with templates.

The second version of the template is easier to use. So a new US map with a new topic is easier to create now. Can use any map created with the 2nd template. Just paste in a list, and type in titles. Colors have already been selected, but can be changed. Same for font sizes for the titles and legend. For updates of an existing US map nothing is needed other than pasting in a new list of state names and values. --Timeshifter (talk) 17:23, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

@Timeshifter: the map that you linked to is not the original map. The map in question doesn't account for either values or names as it was never intended for such purpose, but the colours are easily done. For instance, the above requested map can be created in seconds. It's just a matter of adding a single line (.p_13, .p_47{fill:#225ea8}) to the section. M.Bitton (talk) 17:36, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

@M.Bitton: Can you link to maps correctly created from your template? I need to see what is going on. --Timeshifter (talk) 02:20, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Correction of plant name on the map

Geomap of region

The plant name on my map needs to be corrected. I don't have a computer. This error can only be fixed with svg editing programs on the computer. The name Asphodelus in the information box should be changed to Eremurus spectabilis. The 2 plants are different species and are not even remotely related to each other. I will be happy if anyone help me. Thanks. Vartolu3566 (talk) 21:14, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
