United States Climate Alliance

Request

I am trying to update the map for the United States Climate Alliance which seriously needs a new version with all the states correctly highlighted with better colors as well. I already have a new SVG file for it, (no need to make a new map on your end) but I have a question:

My version derives from another file, so I want to attribute to it on the "File usage on commons" section below. How does that work?

Hi @BrakeCoach, It does not work that way. Usage on commons refers to files that are used in infoboxes, galleries and such. Commons is not Wikipedia, so I won't edit those. The flag is an example of usage on Commons.

You can use the description of your file to honour the original file/user. Enter it while uploading, or edit the Summary on Commons, once you've uploaded it. The blue warning sign sums up the other signs in a coloured series. You might click edit of said paragraph and see how this particular example is coded.

Thank you for letting me know, I am pretty new with everything, so I didn't know where to ask, I think I have asked the question in 2ish different places here. I realized that I just had to ask to gain edit access from wikimedia commons.

Welcome! We all started some time. I've been back since this summer and there's a lot to take in. Have fun editing!

Request

Howdy. I'm looking for a map of Okinawa Island itself that will work with Template:Location map. Currently, it seems like only a map of the Ryukyu Islands and the Okinawa Prefecture exist with it, which are much too big for what I'm looking for. This would be useful to mark the locations of individual gusuku and other cultural heritage sites. -- Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 17:04, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

I might be able to do this @Generalissima -- do you want a topographical relief map or a location map (or both?) – Isochrone (talk) 21:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

@Isochrone: A location map is what I was imagining, though if you wanted to make a better topo map that'd be really great. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 21:24, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

@Generalissima  Done, please see Module:Location map/data/Japan Okinawa Island for instructions on usage (the infobox pushpin map name is "Japan Okinawa Island" I think) – Isochrone (talk) 15:29, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much! Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 17:42, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
