Request: Clean up and make SVG to make it easier for users to edit. DrewMek (talk) 17:26, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): This map is still being actively maintained, I'd suggest contacting the author for changes. Kmusser (talk) 13:52, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I realise I didn't really state my reason for requesting here: basically, as far as I can tell, the original, and up until a short while ago, only, user updating the map has been inactive for several months. A few users have come forward stating that they would be able to frequently update the map if it was an SVG, but only one has stated that he has the ability and tools to convert the PNG to an SVG without losing quality, and the process he described seemed, to me, heavily time consuming, given the detail of the map (namely, involving tracing over the lines and reinserting the text; I think he also expressed that finding time for it might be an issue). I am wondering if the users here have a better way of doing it, hence the request (and if not, sorry for wasting time). Thanks!--DrewMek (talk) 19:43, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation, I'm not sure it'll get any takers here - the conversion process would be the same, a rather time consuming task whoever does it. Kmusser (talk) 04:13, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    Oil producing countries map: not accurate enough

Article(s): Oil field

Request:: Although there is allready one image made of oil producing countries, there does not seem to be a map made of known oil fields around the world (see map http://quakeinfo.ucsd.edu/~gabi/sio15/energy/supps/globalmap-oil.jpg ) . In addition, it would be useful to indicate the pipelines connected to it, aswell as maritime shipping routes used to transport the (crude) oil (see http://www.vzg.ru/prod/prod01.jpg ) Should be quite useful for improving info on oil dependance KVDP (talk) 09:52, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of terrorist incidents 2011

Article(s): List of armed conflicts and attacks, January - June 2011, List of armed conflicts and attacks, July - December 2011

Request: Could we have a map for the number of incidentsin each country for each page (or for 2011 combined) per other articles? With a code of X-Y (oper number of attacks in each country) for darker shades, etc? Lihaas (talk) 15:10, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
