Treaty of Nöteborg 1323

Hi, the Treaty of Nöteborg is the first known border between Finland, Sweden and Novgorod and thus quite important. The prevailing view in research is that the border had two lines and the area between belonged jointly to West-Finnish/Swedish and Russo-Karelian cultures respectively. This view is supported by Iron Age material discoveries. I made a map to Finnish wikipedia according to historians Jarl Gallén and Johan Lind (1991) but I am not happy to the quality of the map. Template doesn`t have too many pixels and the graphics need to be better etc. Also description box would be grate to add already to the map. I can fill it with information if needed.

Finnish wikipedia link: https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A4hkin%C3%A4saaren_rauha Link to the map by me: https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiedosto:P%C3%A4hkin%C3%A4saaren_rauhan_raja_1323_5.jpg

Request
Totally new map of the border or good quality template and some help.

@Scope creep: I can't find or read the names of two cities and then there is a dot I can't see any name for. It's encircled on this image. Also I have very hard to read the different dates, what is at the base of arrows, which numbers or letters. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:41, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Left is La Feuillée, the mid dot, is a dot, above it is Stenay. The one of the right is Dudenhofen. scope_creep (talk) 20:50, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

@Scope creep: I can find several La Feuillée but to me none of them are right. If you can get me a link on a map it would be great.
Are you sure it's Dudenhofen, to me and his map that is on the wrong side of the border, should it not be in France? --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:21, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: It looks like your right. I reads like Dudenhofen, but it is definitely not that. Too far out to the right, but a long way. I created some intersecting grid lines on google earth, and created a triangle where it should have been in, but couldn't locate it. So I guess miss it out for the moment. I saw this map: [2] (map 4 on bottom left) which was the unit operations for the invasion, and its got a bunch of places all over, lots in common with this map, but Dudenhofen is not it. I have added the La Feuillie as well for correct location.

I've made a list of the names of cities, on the map, ones in doubt, which may help.

Hope that helps. scope_creep (talk) 23:42, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

@Scope creep: Draft for #2. I have guessed some of the texts so check them specially. Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:52, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: There is a mistake in the box. It looks decent overall, I'll check it tomorrow. scope_creep (talk) 00:18, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
  • Name:Chart 4 radio intelligence operation findings during French Campaign
  • Description:Intercept units findings during Signal intelligence operations by Germany against France
  • Category:Germany in World War II

There is a coupe of things wrong with it.

  1. In the legend box, then French name is not complete.
  2. The bit round Grandpre, doesn't show the three 'xxx' on top of the box. Seems a bit crowded.
  3. The mulhouse box at the bottom right, doesn't have the 'eighth' within it.
  4. Below wissenbourg, you have a box representing an army. It has 'Second' in it, when it should be 'fifth'
  5. There is dates missing next to Troyes.
  6. Can you move the date to the left of Geradmer, closer to the town. Or below. I see it is miles away on the original map.
@Scope creep: New draft, is really the letters/numbers for the German armies correct, I guess for several.
  1. Fixed
  2. Made the 'xxx' more visible. There is a lot of information just there, moved some around.
  3. Fixed
  4. Fixed
  5. Moved it. I thought the date was for both of the armies. What do you mean by "I see it is miles away on the original map."?
Feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:32, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
That is pretty decent. It was pretty decent before, better now. Maybe worth firing in an English Channel label in the channel. Good work. scope_creep (talk) 19:45, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

@Scope creep: Draft of map 3. The legend is not finished, tell me what you want in it and the texts for it. Feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:14, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Will do.scope_creep (talk) 22:20, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: All in excellent. Although the legend box, im not sure how to fill it in. There is no mile indicator, which would be handy. I don't what the circles mean on top of the box. The dashes are a NATO standard. The circles mean Direction finding (D/F) units, the others which are Intcp intercept companies. OB West, 5th Panzer Army, Blue line is a front. Red lines are D/F and intercept bearings. scope_creep (talk) 13:58, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

  1. Add a mile indicator

Legend Box:

  1. Single dash - intcp company
  2. Three dashes - command intcp company.
  3. Square box with circle - D/F unit (I'll add an extensive caption and include direction finding)
  4. OB West - Army Command
  5. Fifth Panzer - 5th Panzer Army
  6. Blue line - British Front
  7. Red line - D/F and Intcp direction
  8. Ariel - Intercept station

Thanks. scope_creep (talk) 14:07, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi Goran tek-en, excellent work as usual. More detail than in the original.

The rest I'll do tomorrow. I need to read the doc. One part is microwave links. scope_creep (talk) 18:43, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

4.1

Hi @Goran tek-en: Can you change the following:

On the diagram.

  1. No distance marker.
  2. Between Rome and Sicily, please next to line: radio teletype circuit. By that point in the war, mid 43, Germany was starting to distrust Enigma cipher machine, and was using fixed communication lines.
  3. Between Sicily and Tunis it is a Decimeter Microwave
  4. Between Rome to Tunis = 70 Watt SW Comm circuit.
  5. The dashes between fifth panzer and africa korps = Comm circuit
  6. Between Sicily and Gabes = 70 Watt SW Comm circuit.

In the legend box:

  1. 5th Panzer, is the 5th Panzer Army
  2. OB Southwest is OB Southwest. We don't have a page for it yet.
  3. Single dash - intcp company
  4. Three dashes - command intcp company
  5. Take out that first dashes at the bottom. The first of three.
  6. dashed, dashed, dashed - Comm Circuit.

The diagram may be need to bigger. I don't how it would work. It seems to be a bundle, even a whole bundle, or even a whole lot. I'll see how it looks, it could overwhelm it, symbols all over the shop, like Google Earth gets sometimes. Ive added this for later. Hope that helps.

Update. Hi @Goran tek-en:, I've put in an update between Rome and Sicily. It is now radio teletype circuit. Might be too late. scope_creep (talk) 18:17, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

@Scope creep: New draft, feedback, thanks. I don't understand what you wrote above "The diagram may be need to ....". --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:31, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en:, Yip. I think thats all right. It is one interpretation of what the doc says. I don't know if it is the right one, but it will do. For such a simple diagram. I thought it would be less complex. Good work. Its good. scope_creep (talk) 18:53, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

@Scope creep: I need your help now. I have tried to find the names of the cities but I'm very unsure for many of them. There is also the spelling of them, should it be English, German, maybe they have changed over time or there own names. I need you to write a list with the name I put in the map and then the one you want, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:43, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: No worries. Scope creep (talk) 22:44, 27 September 2017 (UTC) @Goran tek-en: About half done. Scope creep (talk) 01:04, 29 September 2017 (UTC) @Goran tek-en: These are about 10 odd that don't have articles. Soon. Scope creep (talk) 20:49, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi @Goran tek-en:, Finally got the list finished, apart from a couple, which I can identify, or don't have WP page. There is several which has slightly different names, like Stalingrad now being Volgograd. I think half a dozen like that. There is a couple I think which are completely different.

Scope creep (talk) 21:14, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

@Scope creep: For me you don't need to link to an article, thanks for the names.
  • I need to know if the Hungarian and Romanian armies were on the German side as the Italian were (at first)?
  • There is so much information in this map and trying to make all of it visible makes the map cluttered or messy. I will add everything and then you can tell me if we should change anything. But could this not be made in to two maps, to me it mixes armies and intelligence, but maybe that wont work for you. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:17, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en:, they were both German allies at the time. If the map is crowded, can you not make the map bigger. It can be A2, or more accurately A3 in landscape, in size, and put on the article, with the thumb attribute on, when it is placed on the page, and expanded accordingly. There is no reason why it needs to be a tiny map. I would rather have a large map which could scrolled by hand, say on an ipad or by scrollbars on a windows desktop. scope_creep (talk) 21:09, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
And make subsequent icons, intercept stations, flows etc smaller. scope_creep (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
@Scope creep: Draft to check. As this is a svg it can be enlarged when viewed without any quality lost, feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:42, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
Your right, massive amount of details. scope_creep (talk) 16:46, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
I seems to be pretty decent. There is a couple of wee bits. In the bottom right legend box, can you change:
  1. Change Army group South to Army Group South. It is a names, as in a document, so it is upper case.
  2. Same for Army Group Center, make it Army Group Centre (European spelling)
  3. Change Hungarian 2 Army to Hungarian Second Army (if you can), which is offician name.
  4. Change German 2 Army to German 2nd Army
  5. Change 1th Panzer Army into 1st Panzer Army
  6. Change Italian 8 Army to Italian 8th Army
  7. Change Army group A to Army Group A
  8. Change Romanian 3 army to Romanian 3rd Army
  9. Change all the army from lowercare to uppercase in lower legend box.
  10. Add a distance measure.

scope_creep (talk) 15:43, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

  1. At the top right, split the Sovietunion, and into Soviet Union

scope_creep (talk) 15:52, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Had a look at it, seems ok. Good work. A lot of details, information dense. scope_creep (talk) 22:12, 8 October 2017 (UTC) @Goran tek-en:, I think this map is a good as any i've seen on Wikipedia. Excellent work. scope_creep (talk) 12:12, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

@Scope creep: I have been and still are sick so it will take a while before I continue, I will ping you. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:10, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en:, Sorry to hear that. Take care of your self. Stay warm, drink plenty of fluids. Hope its not serious. scope_creep (talk) 18:08, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

@Scope creep: New draft to check. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:53, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
One but 1. Change 1th Panzer Army at no. 8 in the legend box to 1st Panzer Army. I have went through it section by section. It is decent. Publish after that. scope_creep (talk) 19:02, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
@Scope creep: Will fix that and also add the distance measure bar. I will need the following;
  • Name of the file:Chart 9 German Radio Intelligence Operations in Southern Russia 1941-42
  • Description:Armies, Direction finding and Intercept units movements during Signal intelligence operations by Germany in Southern Russian 1941-1942

Editing World Map with Individual US States

I was looking for a world map that also featured individual US states that I could edit. I came across this one [3]. However, while it's easy to edit and change the colors of countries, I can't figure out how to do it for individual states (if it's even possible). Does anyone know how to edit individual states on that map? Or can someone suggest a better alternative map? -AnonWikiEditor (talk) 19:59, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

@AnonWikiEditor: We might be able to give more specific help if you told us what software you were using to edit the file, but in any graphical vector editor (e.g. Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator), it should be a simple case of selecting the US, ungrouping the states, then selecting an individual state and changing the fill. – Joe (talk) 14:12, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Abortion law

Resolved
 – – Joe (talk) 14:18, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

At the article Abortion law, on the map, Chile must be showed with a new color, since its law is unlike any other law showed on the color legend. Abortion in Chile is only legal for risk to maternal life, rape, fetal defects.[4]. So a new color for this situation is needed. See the discussion here: Talk:Abortion_law#Chile_on_the_map.

We are Wikipedia, individuals from all around the world, we have no reason to distord reality and remove neighbor countries so to single a country out of the world.

Murder of Yvonne Fletcher
Request
I've put together a rather rough and ready map showing four points of interest (Libyan embassy, the site of two demonstrations and the position of a policewoman when she was shot). It's correct but amateurish; would someone be able to Wikify it for me please? (I'm not worried about the OpenStreetMap labels shown on the map, except the street names and the name of the square). Thanks very much. SchroCat (talk) 10:51, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

 Done. See the third image above. I worked from the Russian version.
The Spanish version contains the country names as text, but that text is not rendered in the image. The Spanish text you see in the image is rendered from SVG paths. I don't understand why people create images like that. It's an abuse of the SVG format. It makes the image larger (though only about 50% in this case), slower to render, and much more difficult to edit. I wish they wouldn't do it. Maproom (talk) 13:03, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Asking for a vector conversion version of the map; something readable and simple to illustrate Buffalo's vibrant Canal life from the 1840s to the 1930s. I understand it's object-intensive and might be considered a project, so if it's not a priority for right now, that's fine. It's in the public domain as the date has expired, and I can find a source for it later. -- Buffaboy talk 02:39, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Hi thanks for taking the request. Yes, essentially I'm just asking for an SVG version, but without the legend or the text seen at the top of the map. That can be described in the image description. If you could retain the colors (instead of how they were changed in the other map), that would look good as well.

See Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_154#Map_won't_render_at_a_specific_resolution. Our Virginia county locator maps appear to have some sort of validation error that often causes them not to appear properly. Would it be possible to modify or recreate this map so that it validates properly? We need all 133 city and county maps to be updated, so I'd really appreciate it if you made it human-editable so that I could create derivative works myself rather than making you do the other 132.

The code for both of those are valid according to w3c. Hopefully that will make them work. I actually think that the large size could be a problem at some thumb sizes. This is not something I can prove it's just my experience and understanding.
Here I will tell you wath I have done. I work on Ubuntu 16.04 and used Inkscape 0.91. How Inkscape work on other OS and versions is nothing I can say.

  • Open file in Inkscape
  • Open XML editor, shift+ctrl+x (Edit/XML editor)
  • In text on left side, find <svg:clipPath id=".....">
  • Click to mark it, then find the symbol for Delete node above, has a red/white X in it, click that to remove the node. This removes the thicker outline.
  • Select all ctrl+a and make a group ctrl+g of it.
  • Select all ctrl+a, click on the padlock symbol (to locked) at the top to make changes same prorpotion W and H.
  • Click to mark all four of the symbols to the right of W and H at the top, they should all four have a line around them.
  • To the left of the four symbols choose px in the list.
  • In the W value box change the value to something under 1000 px, I choose 748, and you can probably kepp the same number for all of the files.
  • Hit Enter to execute and the drawing should be like 1/10 of before.
  • Shift+ctrl+d (File/Document properties). In the middle you will find Custom size, choose px in the Units list.
  • Under that click on Resize page to content...
  • In the four fields type 2 in each and then click on button Resize page to drawing or selection. Close the window and the page is now the right size for the drawing.
  • Now go to Save as or Save a copy, which you prefer.
  • Down in the right hand corner pick Optimized SVG (*.svg) from the list, change the name if you want.
  • In the window for Optimized... unceck everything in the Options tabe. The two at the bottom was 5 and Space for me.
  • In tab Ids check Remove unused ID names for elements and Shorten IDs, nothing else.
  • Click on OK to execute.
  • This should give you the same as this file: optimized and 748px wide
  •  Done I can't say this really really has fixed the problem but I hope so test if you can before you do all of them. If you are happy with this please put the code {{tl|resolved|1=~~~~}} on this request so it can be archived, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:48, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Goran tek-en, thank you, but I'm somewhat confused with editing the 748px file. How do I adjust which entity is colored? When I move the code <use style="fill:#ff0000" xlink:href="#a" height="100%" width="100%" y="0" x="0"/> from place to place (always putting it at the end of a <path d=> </> string), Bath County remains highlighted, even though this is the only reference to FF0000. I don't understand what the <g></g> tags do; do I have to put it in the right place in relation to them? I encounter the same problem with the larger file; <use xlink:href="#a" fill="red"/> is the only reference to "red", but moving it from place to place still leaves Bath County highlighted. Nyttend (talk) 14:07, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
@Nyttend: I didn't think of that you would edit only this fill in a text editor and make all the different versions from it, then you don't need my explanation.
Download this file and try your way again, let me now how it goes, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:33, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
@Nyttend: I just found out that all the parts have no white background, I have to fix that. You can test the file above but I will send you a new one within an hour, roughly. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:41, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
Just back from snow shovelling, or I would have responded sooner. Yes, I have nothing more sophisticated than Windows Paint, so Notepad is the only way that I cna edit an SVG. Unfortunately, I get a 404 error when I click "Download this file". I'm about to be gone again and won't be back until almost midnight UTC (if not later), so I won't respond to anything until then. Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 15:33, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
@Nyttend: The error is because I removed that file. You can always install Inkscape it's open source.
Download this file, it has white in all the different parts. Search for <path style="stroke-linejoin:round;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:11.89;fill:#ff0000" and change the fill:# value as you need.
There are also 8 groups which the g stands for <g style="stroke-linejoin:round;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:119;fill:#ffffff" transform="matrix(.099917 0 0 .099917 -40182 -19321)">
<path style="fill:#ffffff". I didn't break up them as I don't know if they are supposed to be in a group or not. But you can change in the same way, the whole group is the first fill and each path fill is the second fill. Hope this helps. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:47, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
Thank you; this is exactly what I was seeking. I'll let you know if I need any help, but I think I'll try from here on finishing all the different versions. Nyttend (talk) 03:25, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
@Nyttend: If you knew from the beginning what you wanted, why didn't you write that? It would have saved me work.
If you are happy with this please put the code {{tl|resolved|1=~~~~}} on this request so it can be archived, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:54, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
Because I know almost nothing about SVGs; what I wrote at the start is the best description I had (and the best description I still have) of what I wanted. Had you been making the request, what would you have said? Nyttend (talk) 13:59, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
@Nyttend: Often you can go different paths to reach the same goal, same here. I work much with Inkscape and as it's open source I assumed that you would use that to edit the files. To my understanding now, you knew/believed that you wanted to edit the files in a text editor. If I had had that information from the beginning I would have worked differently with this, the whole part with editing in Inkscape is useless. It would have been great if you started with to say that you know almost nothing about SVGs but you wished to do the editing in a text editor. Then we could have discussed how to approach this. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:26, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
That's why I said "human-editable"; I partly remembered {{NoInkscape}} and figured that "human-editable" meant that it could be modified in a text editor without much difficulty. Nyttend (talk) 15:31, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
To me "human-editable" means that you do it by "manually" (even in Inkscape) and not by a script, code or programming. -- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:01, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
I'll try to remember this if I make any more requests; sorry for being confusing. This is what happens when I try to talk like people whose language I don't really understand :-) Nyttend (talk) 23:44, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
