Request: English version please... Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 18:12, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried contacting the original uploader, it might be easier for him to do a translation. P. S. Burton (talk) 10:49, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
His userpage clearly states "en:2-This user is able to contribute with an intermediate level of English." This is the appropriate place to bring it.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 23:12, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What I meant is that he probably still has the original svg or psd file on his harddrive. Working with that file would be easier, because that would mean that the map won't have to be redrawn from scratch just to change the labels. P. S. Burton (talk) 16:39, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image's request under progression Request taken by P. S. Burton.: I will give it a try. P. S. Burton (talk) 18:47, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Can you please check if I forgot something, or mistranslated something, before I add it to the article. P. S. Burton (talk) 21:43, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That is a huge amount of work on your part, thank you! Two quickies:
  • It literally says "Russian Soviet", but in English it becomes "Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic" or "Russian SFSR", whichever you have space for. :)
  • Ungarn in the infobox=Hungary
Thank you again!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 14:18, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I found one mistake, but maybe it's deliberate: Fiume (Rijeka) should stay like that, as it was only transferred to Yugoslavia and renamed Rijeka until after WWII. Richardprins (talk) 20:51, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. P. S. Burton (talk) 21:37, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Italy

Article(s): Italy

Request: lettering is beautiful but unencyclopedic. can we wikify it? Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 04:28, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Have you tried contacting the original author? Also note that this map is part of a series (highly laudable, IMHO), all of which feature distinctive fonts. Classical geographer (talk) 09:39, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also think this one is fine as is. Kmusser (talk) 16:41, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this map should not be changed. P. S. Burton (talk) 03:27, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request: remove border and top caption per WPMOS... Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 10:36, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Belgium-Congo relations

Resolved

Article(s): Belgium-Congo relations

Request: Need an introductory map for this as per other such relations pages. Thanks. Lihaas (talk) 14:33, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Make a choiche between the model shown in Belgium-Canada relations (without circles), and the one shown in Belgium-Mexico relations (with circle around the more little country). Normally, the country shown in green is the first by two in alphabetical order, so in this case Belgium will be green.Ciaurlec (talk) 16:37, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Indonesia-Netherlands relations

Resolved

Article(s): Indonesia-Netherlands relations

Request: Per above, also need an introductory map for this. Thanks again. Lihaas (talk) 16:42, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):As for the previous request make a choiche between the model shown in Canada–Netherlands relations (without circles), and the one shown in Japan–Netherlands relations (with circle around the more little country). here you have to specify if netherlands Antilles have to be coloured or not. PS. I'm a beginner, please be patient ;-) Ciaurlec (talk) 16:42, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

not my request; but I do have an opinion: I could hardly see NL in the Canada-NL variant, so prefer the circles. And relationships are always of teh kingdom of the Netherlands, so should inculde also the Caribbean part of the Kingdom. But Lihaas has the last word on this... L.tak (talk) 16:46, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I personally think its silly to include that, we dont have Diego Garcia and the Falklands for the UK or the Carib./Pacific French territories. (think it should go from that page too). But it doesnt really bother me either way.Lihaas (talk) 16:42, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
