Done Pretty self-explanatory, I've uploaded the file under the same name. Revert and let me know if something doesn't look right. —Mono·nomic 04:00, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
Mississippi Delta

► Philg88 ◄ talk 10:54, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Request. The only existing map of Mississippi Delta, above, is totally useless for showing where the region is located. Whould it be possible to produce a map showing the area in a proper identifiable context of the Southern US, with proper labelling of states, cities, rivers etc.? — Preceding unsigned comment added by86.128.5.150 (talk) 22:08, 14 December 2013 (UTC) Oh, and also a scale so's we can see how big the region is... — Precedingunsigned comment added by 86.128.5.150 (talk) 23:54, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Done Note that the eastern boundary of the region does not appear to have an official definition. I have therefore based the border on information garnered from web sources and from a map of the alluvial floodplain of the Yazoo River (See the licensing page for the map at commons for details). ► Philg88 ◄

Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 18:58, 28 January 2014 (UTC).
- I will take it but the next time you make an request please use the link above so all the code we need will be added, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:58, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Jaqeli: You gave me names in English I guess, but the map is in German so you will have to tell me which is which;
- Kartli = Kartlien
- Kakheti = Kachetien
- Imereti = Imeretien
- Guria = Gurien
- Svaneti = Swanetien
- Abkhazeti = Abchasien
- Samegrelo = ?
- Meskheti = Samzche but should be written as Meskheti
- You also wrote "Please include only these Georgian lands.". I'm sorry but this is your subject and not mine so I don't really know which those are but I will only include the eight as above.
- The map is already a svg map but with a bitmap image included so I will remove that. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:17, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en: Samegrelo = Mingrelien. Please just include only those. Jaqeli (talk) 19:30, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Erroneous map

Article(s): Organisation Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle
Request:
- Somebody pointed out here that the map shown on the page Organisation Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle is incorrect. Indeed, the map appears to be wrong. Could you help correcting the map? In particular, Dem Rep of Congo (Kinshasa) should not be in cyan. Thanks. --Edcolins (talk) 19:33, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
- In fact, the green countries are those with an ARIPO observer status. All the green coloured countries could be removed. --Edcolins (talk) 19:37, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
If you specify exactly what changes are needed, I can do it. You specify one change "in particular" – what others are there? And what do you mean by "removed"? – set to the same grey as Australia? Maproom (talk) 10:19, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I should have been clearer: the green countries are to be set to the same grey as Australia, and the Dem Rep of Congo (Kinshasa) should be in grey as well. That's all. Thanks. --Edcolins (talk) 20:28, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Done Very easy, once I knew what was wanted. Maproom (talk) 23:58, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Template:Comment from uninvolved editor There is still a problem with this map - it shows Sudan as a member and it is not listed in the article as such. The new(ish) border between Sudan and South Sudan is also missing. ► Philg88 ◄ talk 16:42, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- ARIPO member states are in blue, and Sudan is a member state of ARIPO. This is correct. But, indeed, there are two additional corrections needed:
- South Sudan should be in grey.
- the Republic of the Congo should be in cyan (as an OAPI member state).
- Thanks! ...and sorry for not being complete from the outset. --Edcolins (talk) 11:36, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Done Maproom (talk) 23:17, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you! --Edcolins (talk) 20:36, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
EU location map

First map
Request: Help converting the other countries by using the same licensing information. --David Liuzzo04:16, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
Done
- Done all the countries of the EU. Wereldburger758 (talk) 08:22, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
- FWIW, this looks like a mercator projection, in which case the map (especially the "whole world" map) will eventually need to be changed to a different projection. 111.69.100.9 (talk) 08:27, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
- There is a problem with these maps. They do not show many parts of Europe:
- Svalbard (a part of the EEA, seed bank is there, as well as research stations) is not visible at all
- Novaya Zemlya and Franz Joseph Land are not visible either
- European parts of Georgia (signed association agreement with the EU) and Armenia (Eastern partnership)
- Malta is not semi-lit (EU member) — Preceding unsignedcomment added by 89.128.236.143 (talk) 19:03, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 19:01, 22 December 2013 (UTC). I will make it into a svg file so it can be updated more easily. I will need help with colors and so on when I have a draft of it so check here. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:01, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
Question: Which talkpage, would be great with a direct link so I don't have to look for it but can concentrate on the graphic part. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:13, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- @Kintetsubuffalo:You can find a first draft here but I still need to know what you want more to be added or changed. Answer my question above please and give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:30, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry again about getting back so late. The discussion is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_talk:South_China_Sea_claims.jpg , and when I click your link, I get a 404 error. Thanks!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 07:51, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
@Kintetsubuffalo: I need your feedback as below if you want me to be able to complete your request, thanks.
look at this draft --Goran tek-en(talk) 16:59, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks and sorry for the link, it's working now so please give me feedback. --Goran tek-en (talk) 10:46, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
Template:Comment from uninvolved editor I suggest that it should be "Nautical" rather than "Nautic" in the title block. ► Philg88 ◄ talk 06:29, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:02, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
- It looks good thus far.
I would put the competing claims in to illustrate.Thank you so much for your hard work!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 23:56, 17 January 2014 (UTC)- If you want me to put in anything else there you have to provide me with that information in some way.
- So is it Done now and if so should I upload it as a new version of the previous version? --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:50, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
- Surely the Red line is China's claim and the blue lines are the UNCLOS lines? It would also be useful to clarify the UNCLOS lines do not take the disputed islands into account. CMD (talk) 20:02, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for finding my mistake. That is now corrected and text is added to clarify the islands.
- look at this new draft, is it done now? --Goran tek-en (talk) 20:22, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Map of Mesopotamia in Deutsch.
Article(s): Mesopotamia
Request:
- Change Mesopotamia image map from Deutsch to English. -- wildboy211 (talk) 01:38, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
- If you want any of us to do this work you would have to provide us with a text file with all of the words translated, Deutsch to English. We do graphic work not translations or other research work, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:41, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
- Translating the German would be easy. But changing the text when it's overlaid on a mountain range is not at all easy (it would be easy if this were an SVG instead of a PNG). Maproom (talk) 18:39, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
@Maproom and Wildboy211: As I wrote before, if you provide me with that text file I can do a svg version based on a map of what we already have Mesopotamia svg maps but you have to get back directly to me as Page watch doesn't work all the time for me. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:44, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Maproom and Wildboy211: Now I have made vector (svg) versions as drafts of both the German and the English maps.
- Because the svg-file is so big (size) I have also made png versions to look at. This because to look at the hole svg versions you probably have to download it and open it in Inkscape or similar and I don't know if you use that type of programs.
- english svg
- english png
- german svg
- german png
- Have a look at them and give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en
(talk) 18:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- I am impressed! I would have had no idea at all how to achieve the SVG conversion.
- I have two items of feedback.
- I ignored the city names, thinking they would all be the same in German and English. But now I realise that German "Bagdad" is "Baghdad" in English. I'm sorry I missed that.
- I see that the macron over the "a" of "Zagros Gebirge" is still there. In the Swedish version it is still over the "a", where it does no harm. In the English version it looks a bit like a hyphen. But really, no-one is likely to notice it. Maproom (talk) 23:35, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Maproom and Wildboy211: I have corrected our mistakes now (both) and uploaded the two versions;
- Thanks for the cooperation. --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:47, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
