Request: Please translate the names of France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland from German to English on this map. City of Destruction (The Celestial City) 13:28, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried to contact the original author? This map is a PNG, which makes replacing the names a little less easy than it would have been with an SVG. Classical geographer (talk) 16:38, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While I applaud you for bringing me to one of the more colorful & amusing wikipedia events articles I've seen, I'm not sure this belongs on Wikipedia per WP:OR. I don't think it would be particularly difficult to change the names, either if kept as an PNG or converted to SVG, but keeping the font would be difficult. I think the deciding factor should be: Are the noted borders either trivially obvious or directly referenced from the UN speech, or would it be possible to draw other conclusions on the precise lines of division from the proposal?

Thank you for translating it, a map that I'm sure that can hardly be very popular in Switzerland. I actully came across it on an external website, and no, I haven't contacted the original creator though I can if that would be helpful. As to whether this map is original research, I would say it probably isn't as these are precise boundaries based on the linguistic regions of Switzerland, as per Gaddaffi's suggestion that German-speaking Switzerland should become part of Germany and so forth.

Map border fix

Resolved

Map of the districts of the Boy Scouts Coronado Area Council

Article(s): Coronado Area Council

Request: Could someone please fix the state border around the shaded counties so that is is the same thickness as it is around the unshaded portion of the state? Thanks, Ks0stm ^(T•C•G) 20:56, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes, it's easier to make a new one than to fix it. Here you go. Lesqual (talk) 02:32, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but if you look at the counties, the borders of the counties are kinda messed up in the new one...the way they should look is the same as in the old one. Ks0stm ^(T•C•G) 17:26, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While that wasn't intentional, for this article I question whether it's problematic. The borders aren't 'messed up', they're simply generalized to a greater degree than the other map. This saves Wikipedia bandwidth and rendering time, and is good SOP when extra detail would be superfluous to comprehension. Even if it does detract slightly for you, the fact that the source data I picked uses proper polygons for counties and linework for boundaries, rather than the messy automatic vectorization that the other image uses, makes it worthwhile for future editors because one can fix things like border width painlessly. Lesqual (talk) 20:17, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd have to agree with Ks0stm on this one, the higher level of generalization on your map did some strange things, making counties that should have square borders no longer square. The original's vectorization is pretty good (compare with File:Kansas counties map.png). I'll grant that at the size used in the article it won't be very noticeable, but I also don't think it's an improvement over the original. Kmusser (talk) 21:00, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've got the original fixed. Kmusser (talk) 14:28, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that looks good on the original...Many thanks, Kmusser, and Lesqual, I do appreciate your attempt and give you my thanks as well. Marking resolved. Ks0stm ^(T•C•G) 00:13, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WXK92 coverage map

Article(s): WXK92

Request: Could someone please make this more Wikipedia-friendly, possibly an svg...the high detail of the coverage area doesn't have to stay (it can be more generalized or completely eliminated), but the alerted counties still need to be highlighted somehow and the transmitter location marked. Thanks in advance, Ks0stm ^(T•C•G) 20:05, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's a PDF version of the graph on the same page which has vector data, so I just need to fix the colors, some of the text as well as the location of the weather station. Thylacine222 (talk) 18:48, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How's this? Thylacine222 (talk) 21:51, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I altered it to where the unshaded counties represent the ones alerted, but the map is fine otherwise. Many thanks! Ks0stm ^(T•C•G) 00:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
