Article(s): Bermuda

Request: Please create an svg map like these: [1], [2][3], since there isn't one made currently. Here are some example ones: [4] [5] 92.8.99.201 (talk) 19:13, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

New Bilateral relations map

Resolved

Article(s): Kuwait-Turkey relations

Request: Hi. I created this article, and is still needs a locater map. I have provided the locations of both countries, and an example of how other maps like that looked. However, while Turkey can be easily viewed on any map, Kuwait is harder to locate. So I was thinking that somebody could do it like the example map I provided, or the second one on Iran Israeli relations. But I'll leave that to the Graphist opinion.

Graphist opinion: I think one like Isreali-Iran one would work well with a little world locater thing. I should be ready in max 30 min. ChrisDHDR 19:18, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've made the map but it's too small and off centered. It's late so I'll come back and fix it tomorrow (unless someone does it before me). ChrisDHDR 19:41, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've uploaded a new version: it's bigger (so no pixelising) and there's now a little locator map. ChrisDHDR 09:35, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1956, 1960, 1964, 1968 elections

Resolved

Article(s): United States presidential election, 1956, United States presidential election, 1960, United States presidential election, 1964, United States presidential election, 1968

Request: The work needed on these are minor. The problem is a lot of these electoral maps are off, and my program, Photoplus, can't do proper fill-ins. I also do not know the font used for the electoral numbers and hope somebody can fix it. Here are the individual requests:

1956 map: Change Iowa from 9 electoral votes to 10. I made a version, but the font was different for Iowa's electoral votes than the rest of the states. Basically, if you can find the font, just change it from a 9 to a 10.

1960 map: Change New Mexico from Red to Blue (Kennedy won New Mexico).

1964 map: Change Virginia from 11 to 12.

1968 map: Change Virginia from 11 to 12.

Thanks! Frightwolf (talk) 01:55, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Not to hard to do - just changing "9" to "10" in the source code will fix it. By the way a quick look at the source code shows that the font is "normal". ChrisDHDR 07:36, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Did it easily with Inkscape. Though another issue remains - the appearance of that weird bar between Alaska and Hawaii. Anyone know how to fix it? ChrisDHDR 10:27, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure. Though I must ask you something -- when I tried to fix the map, I couldn't open it. I tried to open it in its biggest resolution, but it wouldn't let me. Very hard to explain; do you know what the problem might have been? Frightwolf (talk) 15:01, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weird. I sometimes have that, when there's a problem in the code and Firefox can't read it - however I had no problem with these ones. Do you use IE by any chance? ChrisDHDR 14:38, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I was able to isolate and delete that extra bar by Alaska and Hawaii by going into the source code. Kmusser (talk) 19:32, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
