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)[reply]

Comment This is going to take a bit longer than I anticipated - the SVG you suggested crashes Illustrator (and my PC grrr...). I found another similar base map (United Kingdom police areas map.svg) and whilst I can load it the file is corrupt such that I need to redraw some of the coastlines from base data. I assume that both these SVGs were created in Inkscape and that Illustrator doesn't like their SVG format for some reason. None of this is a show stopper and I'll continue working on it. Please check back here in a couple of days. Best,► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 08:17, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What a pain, but there's no rush so it doesn't bother me. I wonder whether loading and re-saving from a newer version of Inkscape would perhaps give a more compatible file. I had a quick look on the Inkscape forum but didn't find much which appears to be current advice. If the other file turns out to be less appropriate, I can investigate the file format issue with the first one and you can come back to it later if I get anywhere with it. Cheers. -- Trevj(talk · contribs) 08:33, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, if the 2011 version of United Kingdom police areas map.svgexhibits the same issues, then a re-save of the other file might do it. -- Trevj(talk · contribs) 08:39, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done No problem, it took less time than I initially thought. I've redrawn some of the coastline based on what was missing. The file I've uploaded is in PNG format, largely because I know from experience that the Wikipedia SVG engine won't render the text inside boxes correctly, even though the fonts are open source and can be embedded in the SVG. I don't think PNG will be a problem - the map is 150 DPI and will scale satisfactorily. Take a look and let me know what you think - and please check the numbers! Best, ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 14:23, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! Thanks very much. I've checked the numbers and not spotted any discrepancies. A few of the borders differ but that's down to the base information being inconsistent, with the only significant potentially misleading result I spotted being for South Wales. It looks as though the Commons map points to something nearer Monmouthshire than an amalgamation of Rhondda Cynon Taf and Bridgend County Boroughimplied by the report map (my geography of that area isn't great, so I referred to local government in Wales). The situation isn't helped by police areas straddling local government areas in places!

So your thoughts on that would be appreciated.

As for the text rendering, if you think that there could possibly be an effective way to address this in the future (in order to more easily facilitate the adaptation into versions for other languages), then it may be worth adding {{Convert to SVG}}, but I'll leave that up to you.

Cheers. -- Trevj (talk ·contribs) 15:52, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I downgraded the SVG spec and it renders fine (see above) - I have overwritten the PNG version. I have also fixed the South Wales issue - the callout previously pointed to Gwent - caused by a disparity in the report map and the police area map. Should be good to go now.

Is this page active at all???--89.128.236.143 (talk) 13:25, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is, but there aren't as many volunteers here as we'd like, so the requests which are understandable, and not just a mess of half-edited templates with no easily discernible requirement tend to get looked at in preference. Perhaps you might take a little time to be clearer about what you'd like, and someone might be able to tell you if it's feasible, and guide you as to what work you'd need to do yourself to help us achieve that. Not trying to be difficult, but when I see a spaghetti request like this I tend to just look at the next one. No offence, I hope, but on a busy page, with few volunteers, effort from the requester tends to earn effort in response.

It's understandable that you might not easily follow the templates or the formats here, and if that's the case a little prose explaining what you're after would go a long way, and we could fix the rest.
