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!

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)

If we have the technology, could someone please color in section V with the color of your choice, just to make it "pop" a little as people scrutinize/scroll the article. Please and thanks. -- jengod (talk) 23:10, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

NEVER MIND! Apparently this already exists thanks to the good offices of a graphic artist on es-wiki. {{resolved}} and TY!

Information privacy law

Request

80+ countries have an Information privacy law. I went to the article because I needed to see where in the world these are. Unfortunately there is no such map on the article. The paper cited in the article is from 2012 so I hope a better source can be found, but even a 2012 data map would be better than no map. Thanks a lot! -- Syced (talk) 02:35, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

@Syced Why only ask a question and not provide the latest data?

A quick search shows 2023 as the latest of 8 reports by the same author. 2024 seems not available.

Example of a small size (kb) world map

Would you be ok with a map like this one, if we'd leave out the states in CAN, USA, MEX, AUS, ...?

@Groetjes, Peter Thanks a lot, it looks like you are better at finding data than me! Your example map looks great! :-) Syced (talk) 13:08, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
