Requesting for help with Togo Location Map for Prefectures

Description of the image

• 
  example in Maritime region of Togo of what is required (or, if possible, an .svg map locator), but my map editing skill is not good at all for the task

Article(s)

Prefectures of Togo

Request

Requesting a map please for the prefectures of Togo (and, possible, maps per each of 5 regions divided into prefectures) with a purpose to be used as map locator in articles about Togo prefectures. In 2016, a change in prefectures happened and their numbers increased. The old maps became obsolete in 2 regions (Maritime and Savanes regions; Kara region is fine for example) and many maps weren't up to the task. A reference for the new prefecture borders can be seen here (scalable and dynamic map) or at site of census institution INSEED, they were stable enough (census in 2022 and local elections in 2019). Category of locators in wikicommons: Category:Locator maps of prefectures of Togo, Category:Maps of prefectures of Togo. I do not request to make canton maps, just proper region-prefecture maps to replace illustrations like these: File:Savanes prefectures.png Thank you for listening and hope that someone would be interested to help. -- Duppertip (talk) 21:19, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

@Duppertip I misunderstood your request and made maps of the regions File:Togo Plateaux Region locator map (2016).svg etc. (all in c:Category:SVG locator maps of Regions in Togo (location map scheme). I'll have to look into the prefectures but I'm a bit tight for time recently. Sorry about that, at least you have some region maps with slightly better boundaries. – Isochrone (talk) 20:47, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

I am sorry for the misunderstanding, I should have worded it better myself. Thank you for the region locator maps, they are a great update. Duppertip (talk) 21:07, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Ukraine gas transit: vectorise and simplify

Article(s)

Natural gas transmission system of Ukraine

Request

To make this map look better and easy to translate it would be great if you could

1) Crop off everything west of Kyiv

2) Remove all towns and cities except Kyiv, Odesa and Lviv

3) Remove Prypats River

4) Convert to svg

5) Add in small inconspicuous font: Source: tsoua.com/en/news/a-new-phase-of-the-vertical-corridor-initiative-to-launch-in-july-2024/

If it is easier for you to simply draw a new one based on the source please do so. Or if you have other suggestions I will be happy to hear them.

Do you think this request should be combined with the one below?

Hi @Chidgk1, would you mind providing some sources for a map like this, as you have done below? – Isochrone (talk) 12:59, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

@Isochrone As well as the official source mentioned in 5) above there is also a map on page 3 of https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/icis.ada.website.live/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03170057/ICIS_VerticalCorridor_April2024.pdf Is that what you are asking for?

Balkans gas transit: shrink and correct

Article(s)

Balkan Stream

Request

I tried to use https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SVG_Translate_tool to add English to this map but was unsuccessful - apparently the text is in pixels and it may be too big for the tool. I asked the original author for the source but no reply yet - the Bulgarian part may be the map on p74 (last page) of https://www.bulgartransgaz.bg/files/useruploads/files/amd/TYNDP%202020-2029%20EN.pdf

Please could you correct it so that I can translate it. Also please could you correct the coloring: from the map on page 14 of https://www.energy-community.org/dam/jcr:2d6dbbe2-97a7-4643-a187-b71c7e82f002/Improvement%20of%20the%20commercial%20attractiveness%20of%20the%20Trans-Balkan%20pipeline%20system%20-%20Analytical%20and%20Recommendations%20Report.pdf we know the Trans-Balkan pipeline (dark blue) goes all the way from Turkey to Ukraine.

Also it would be great if you could label Turkstream, Trans-Balkan pipeline and Balkan Stream next to the lines rather than as a legend.

Do you think this request should be combined with the one above?

Unfortunately I have not been able to find a reliable source for the Serbian and Hungarian parts so perhaps it should only be drawn in Bulgaria for now Chidgk1 (talk) 13:14, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Request for maps of Cumberland and Westmorland and Furness unitary authority areas

Article(s)

Would be used in hundreds of articles which currently link to the old districts, villages, hamlets, civil parishes etc in Cumbria, England.

Request

In 2023 Cumbria, England was reorganised into two unitary authorities, Cumberland and Westmorland and Furness. The six districts were merged into these two new areas.

A number of articles use District maps for the former areas, which now are defunct.

To replace File:Location map United Kingdom Allerdale.svg, File:Location map Borough of Copeland.svg and File:Location map United Kingdom City of Carlisle.svg a map for the new Cumberland district is required.

To replace File:Location map United Kingdom Eden.svg, File:Location map United Kingdom South Lakeland.svg and File:Location map United Kingdom Borough of Barrow-in-Furness.svg a map for the new Westmorland and Furness district is required.

The inset maps on the current maps use File:Cumbria UK district map 2010 (blank).svg, I would suggest using File:Cumbria UK district map 2023 (blank).svg instead.

Many thanks in advance. Thirdman (talk) 00:06, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
