Aztec Empire

Article(s): Aztec

Request: Please Vectorize. Connormah (talk) 05:03, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Whoever takes the request, please don't vectorize the modern states which did not exist at the time of the Aztecs. bamse (talk) 15:08, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indian state blank svgs needed

Hi. I noticed File:Assam protected areas map-blank.svg. We are desperately needing good svg blank maps of the states of India (with the districts lightly outlined) for use in pushpin in infoboxes. Basically I'm looking for a full set of maps of each of the Indian states in the style of File:Pakistan location map.svg. Like your Assam map but blank. Amazingly nobody has created blank svgs for India yet and we've had to put up with the horrible colored maps for ages. Could the graphics lab please create some good quality blank svgs and list the coordinates like on the Pakistan image page to make it possible to use for pin maps? Thanks.

You should probably check in over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian maps to see if they're going to have heartburn over changing those. Many of those colored maps started out as blank ones and it would just be a matter of rolling them back to the earlier version, but I wouldn't do so without getting some consensus from the Indian maps folks.

Orthographic projection of Quebec

Article(s): Quebec, n:Portal:Quebec, ...

Request: Can you create the orthographic projection of Quebec plz ? It will be for the articles Quebec, Québec and for some portal on WP and Wikinews. Sniff (talk) 11:52, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): The map you give as an example comes from a range of maps showing countries and larger regions, including continents; for those, a position with respect to the world makes sense. For Quebec, currently all maps show the region in relation to Canada. An orthographic projection can of course be made, but I just want to make sure beforehand that this is not requested for secessionist purposes. By the way, you might also consider asking at commons:Grey-green orthographic projections maps. Classical geographer (talk) 13:33, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Haiti earthquake

Resolved

Article(s): Haiti earthquake

Request: English version please... Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 11:12, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):  Done Kmusser (talk) 14:46, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic, thank you! Um, since the map is in English, and attribution in the details, shouldn't the new name be in English? --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 12:49, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to rename, I don't usually pay a whole lot of attention to filenames. Kmusser (talk) 14:11, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nueva Esparta

Resolved

Article(s): Nueva Esparta

Request: I have translated this map using (Template:Translation possible). But I really need help with changing MAR CARIBE to CARIBBEAN SEA. The letters are made of nodes, and not text. Thanks in advance. The Illusional Ministry (talk) 23:44, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I tried, and i looked good in inkscape, but when i uploaded it a get a big blue block where the text is supposed to be. The Illusional Ministry (talk) 12:54, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Remove them and put in new text. It's Times New Roman, all-caps, bold italic. You can leave the original text in while you put in new text to get an idea of the 'right' size. (But of course, any size goes, as long as it's readable yet subtle.) Classical geographer (talk) 09:08, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Did you get this fixed? Do you still need help?? MapMaster (talk) 03:22, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Still need help. P. S. Burton (talk) 21:36, 25 January 2010 (UTC) (new username).[reply]

I just uploaded a new version. I not only fixed the big blue text block, I also enlarged the Legend, inserted a new locator map of Venezuela, set the ocean color to the English Wikipedia standard, changed the dashed border to a line, and enlarged the names of the islands. I also pulled the title of the map and the little teeney coordinate numbers inside the map, where they belong. All of these edits, in my opinion at least, make the map a bit easier to read and understand. Hope you like them. MapMaster (talk) 15:01, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Large map creation/modification request

Resolved
 – Thanks! Ks0stm (TCG) 02:11, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): To appear in Bavaria, Kansas; Bridgeport, Kansas; Falun, Kansas; Hedville, Kansas; Kipp, Kansas; and Mentor, Kansas

Request: Could someone add the towns listed in "articles:" above to the maps above, and create maps of the same style for each of those towns given this to locate the towns and [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] to shape the towns? I'm sorry this is such a large request, and it can be done in stages or broken into separate requests if necessary. Also, to give a sense of scale, the small red square (bottom-left most) highlighted red on the first map in the gallery is one mile by one mile. Major thanks in advance, and most likely a barnstar upon completion. Ks0stm (TCG) 23:13, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): I notice the existing maps don't match their description either since they don't include the unincorporated communities. I'll see what I can do. Kmusser (talk) 15:29, 27 January 2010 (UTC) Based on the county map it looks like there ought to be a Glendale, KS as well. Kmusser (talk) 16:55, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
