Make the small islands on map more visible

Article(s): United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories#Completely autonomous dependencies

Request: (Concerns improvement of the 3rd map.) Many of the concerned territories consist only of some small islands. The information in this map is color-coded and the small area of the islands makes it hard to actually see, which territories are colored blue and which red (even in this view and when enlarging the view, I think the important information isn't visible very well). Could someone maybe surround the smaller islands with a lighter tone of the respective color, so that there will be larger, lightly colored areas? This could be done by highlighting the territorial waters or exclusive economic zones (see first and second image). -- Toshio Yamaguchi 14:35, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Updated/better peacekeeping map

Article(s): Peacekeeping

Request: It would be nice to update those 2008 maps (yes, both, confusing, isn't it)? There is a bunch of nicer, more informative maps on the web, with legends that also give information about mission timeframe, size, and name. See [1], [2], [3] (bottom of the article), [4], [5] or [6]. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 22:00, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: See File:UNpeacekeeping.svg. ResMar 23:05, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's up to date, but still less informative then most of the maps I have linked. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:26, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think the map's just too crowded for adding labels to be particularly effective. ResMar 16:24, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request for district map of Tripura

Resolved

Article(s): Tripura, List of districts of Tripura

Request: The district map of the Indian state of Tripura is available at File:Tripura map.png. However, in 2012, the numbers of districts was increased to eight from four. So, we are in need of a new district map. The new district map can be sourced from this website which is the website of Tripura Industrial Development Corporation. Thanks a lot for the help.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:33, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Fishing Creek (North Branch Susquehanna River)

Request: To assist a fellow Wikipedian in their quest to produce a GA article for the above, I produced this push-pin locator map so that the article had some form of map. I am now feeling a bit guilty about how poor it looks, and I feel that I should humbly request a better one for their article. Something similar to the Susquehanna map, would be ideal Jokulhlaup (talk) 17:47, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Image's request under progression Request taken by Kmusser (talk) 19:06, 4 April 2013 (UTC)., I did that Susquehanna map so should still have the files to do this one, will hopefully get to it this weekend. Kmusser (talk) 19:06, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for picking up this request Jokulhlaup (talk) 17:23, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done, let me know if you need anything else on there. Kmusser (talk) 01:04, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, that's an impressive map. Many thanks Jokulhlaup (talk) 17:13, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Church of the Brethren map

Resolved
A line-drawing of a world map with the United States and Puerto Rico in black; Ecuador and India in violet; Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Nigeria, and Sudan in cyan; and Argentina, mainland China, Denmark, France, Indonesia, Niger, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey in magenta.
A map of the worldwide scope of the Church of the Brethren:
  Headquarters of the Church (United States and Puerto Rico)
  Current overseas missions (Brazil; the Dominican Republic; Haiti; Nigeria and Oku, Cameroon; and Southern Sudan)
  Churches that are the result of mergers with other Protestant missions (Ecuador's United Andean Indian Mission and the Church of North India; a single Indian church still belongs to the Church of the Brethren)
  Foreign missions that have closed (Argentina, China, Denmark and Sweden, France and Switzerland, Indonesia, Niger, and Turkey)

Article(s): Church of the Brethren

Request: Some one really needs to take a look at the map for the districts of the Church of the Brethren. Most of it is OK, but North America is covered by two misshapen triangles. It is an obvious error that has been up since 2010.--Bellerophon5685 (talk) 18:00, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Done, those triangles haven't been there long if you look at the image history, I updated to a newer version of the world map which fixed that and the South Sudan boundary as well. Kmusser (talk) 19:22, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
