Map of Kansas counties

Map of Kansas counties

Article(s): National Register of Historic Places listings in Kansas

Request: The map itself doesn't need any work, but could someone convert the map on the National Register page into a clickable map? Nyttend (talk) 20:29, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: This isn't really a problem that's dealt with here - no new image has to be made. What you need to do is make an image map. There are some help pages at mw:Extension:ImageMap, wikihow, and the memory-beta wiki. Also, now this is something that we do here, it might be better if Kansas counties map.png used something like the Mercator projection as that would make most of the counties perfect squares - which would probably simplify the task.

Converting Map created by template to a single SVG file

Stale

Article(s): 2009 NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Tournament

Request: I created four maps, using templates in this article. I assume it takes longer to load a map created with a template than it would if the resulting map were a single SVG file. While the difference is probably insignificant in the case of loading a single dot and label on a base map, I have 30 or more in some cases.

Is this worth worrying about?
if so, is there an easy way to convert the output of a template into a single SVG file?
Is this a question for map experts, or should I ask in the graphics lab? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sphilbrick (talk • contribs) 14:15, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request: I'd keep the templates and turn them into clickable maps, like the lead map in List of Pennsylvania state parks.Kmusser (talk) 17:10, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Eleanor cross

Resolved

This was requested a couple of months ago, but got archived as "stale". I don't quite understand the logic of thinking that just because something hasn't been done immediately it shouldn't be done at all, but, anyway, I've now added coordinates to the article for all of the locations of these crosses, so it should be a doddle for any of our mapping experts to create a map. This needs a map of the south-eastern chunk of England between Lincoln and London marking the twelve locations whose coordinates are in the article. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:34, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've just spent several hours working out how to do this myself, as it seems that a simple request made in plain English gets ignored here. Could someone that knows how to do so please mark this as resolved? Phil Bridger (talk) 11:37, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Original
New SVG

Article(s): Central Troy Historic District

Request: The article is currently going up for peer review and I'd like an upgraded version. Not sure if there are sources for a better background map, but it can use an upgrade; but if no source exists, I can deal. I'd like to see this vectorized and the red and green sections changed a bit. I'd like to see a border with low-opacity fill color for the respective colors. I believe low-opacity green on red shouldn't be a big issue. Thanks in advance! wadester 16 02:41, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by ChrisDHDR.: ~~it seems the background map is from Google (judging by the look 'n' feel, esp. the scale) - this is obviously copyright infringement and will need to be replaced by a copy from OpenStreetMap.~~ sorry, false alert!

I noticed on Google Streetview that Ferry Street is partially a tunnel. Are there ant other such things? Chris DHDR 17:52, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's the only tunnel. It was put there to allow for the construction and onramps of the bridge you see nearby. Let me know if you have other questions. wadester 16 21:49, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've uploaded the new SVG. I checked for errors but there might still be a few - tell me if you have ant corrections/suggestions. I just noticed that there's no scale or North arrow, I'll add one tomorrow. Chris DHDR 14:09, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. One small request: can you make sure that the Hudson River is labeled completely (with a capital R, also) and can you change its font to the same one as the street names? Not a fan of serif fonts for maps, really. Thanks again, looks great. wadester 16 17:35, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not bad. I find the fill distracting, but that's just me. Can we maybe restore the highway shields, scale and north arrow? They give it more context and correspond to aspects of the accompanying text. Daniel Case (talk) 17:55, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also note that the small rectangle in the northeast corner should be separate, as it represents the former Grand Street Historic District. The accompanying text mentions five former districts; the map needs to reflect that. Daniel Case (talk) 17:58, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, I was wondering about the 5th district. That makes sense. Here are the shields that are needed. Should be a quick add: US 4 and NY 2. wadester 16 18:44, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On the source file, as well as viewing the SVG with Firefox "Hudson river" appears in the image - the problem must be MediaWiki PNG conversion software. How about making it "Hudson R." - that way it should fit in. The font is another MediaWiki problem - the source file uses sans but MW doesn't seem to recognise it; I'll try to find a suitable font here that will hopefully be recognised. I've added a North arrow and scale, the shields will come this weekend. Finally I'll corect the map's zones. Chris DHDR 19:32, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hudson river should flow into the path... ZooFari 21:05, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chris, under what file type did you save it in (e.g. Inkscape svg, svg, etc)? My Inkscape doesn't want to take it... ZooFari 21:13, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the shields, fixed a couple of street plan errors, and corrected the boundaries in a couple of places using this source. However I'm not sure about the boundaries of the Grand Street historic District. I found a source here however it's boundaries are in contradiction to everything else. Do you have something reliable? I made the file in Inkscape, so I can't understand why you can't open it. Do you have the latest version? The fonts are in Sans so I can't understand why MediaWikidoesn't recognise it (it claims it does). I tried to change all the text to DejaVu Sans however Inkscape crashes each time - very peculiar. I'll keep working on it. Chris DHDR 08:10, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I now seems that MW is putting the text as sans. Font problem fixed! Chris DHDR 09:04, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The source you found for Grant Street is unofficial and less reliable. The NRHP nom for Grant Street didn't include a map (I don't think; I'll check) but basically defined it as that block where I drew the small rectangle, which is actually where that aqua rectangle on the livingplaces.com map is centered. Daniel Case (talk) 16:51, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was able to download, and made major cleanup to it (e.g. cut out shapes that aren't visible in the document). As for the Grant St. Google Maps is considered a reliable source, especially the satellite images. Google obtains it's resources from Tele Atlas, which is definitely a major source. ZooFari 17:56, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Right, but can you just dislocate the grand street square (in the top right corner) from the one below so they don't connect? That's the only remaining issue. wadester 16 20:44, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not really sure what street/block you are talking about (the one you want disconnected from Grant). Williams St? The green area? ZooFari 20:57, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where two green areas at the corner of Union and Grand (not Grant) Streets in the top right corner. They connect, but they should not. All we need is for them to be separated. wadester 16 21:14, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Like that? The borders are too thick compared to the small square. I resized it and moved it a little so I'm not sure if you'll like it... ZooFari 22:00, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So can we call this resolved? Chris DHDR 10:17, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading Euro/Dollar map

Resolved

Article(s): Euro, Dollarization, Currency board, Petrodollar, World currency, United States dollar, International status and usage of the euro.

Request: This map has some errors on it I would like to see corrected. First of the map states that the Belarusian ruble is pegged to the U.S. Dollar, but it is also pegged to the Euro and Russian Ruble in a currency basket. I suggest making Belarus out of interchanging Purple/Olive lines.

Secondly the Moroccan dirham used by Morocco and the Western Sahara is pegged to the Euro. And the Jordanian dinar used by Jordan and the West Bank is pegged to the U.S. Dollar, this is also not shown. I request that these things be fix'd.--SelfQ (talk) 18:23, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Done. You may need to add some notes to the articles listed above, to explain the Purple/Olive lines in Belarus. I have left the rest of Palestine (Gaza strip) grey. Certes (talk) 19:03, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
