Even better: Someone with SVG skills might want to make an English version of File:Europa Island simplified land cover map-fr.svg (Hohum ^@) 20:03, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

I could do this, though it would have to wait for a few days. (I did the translation for the similar File:Ile de Clipperton (carte-en).svg .)

I've a question about translation. "La Possession" is a placename, and should be left in French. "Cimetière de tortues" is a description of a natural feature, and should be translated, maybe as "Turtle graveyard". How should e.g. "Pointe sud" be handled? Maproom (talk) 07:37, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

  Legal status of e-cigarettes in Europe

Article(s)

Regulation of electronic cigarettes

Request

On the 28th April 2018, Switzerland lost in a court case against it's businesses and nicotine-containing liquids were henceforth legalised for sale within the country. Since Switzerland isn't within the EU, they are not subject by default, to the EU's TPD restrictions set out in 2004. In addition, the UK's colour is also outdated, as now they have limitations on the max nicotine content, bottle capacity and tank capacity of e-cigarette hardware. As such, Switzerland should now be dark green on the map, and the UK should be light green. Relevant sources can be seen on the article itself. In addition, other EU countries should probably also be revised regarding the TPD directives. Grez868 (talk) 23:08, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Question on making map from excel spreadsheet

Hi, I have some data in an excel spreadsheet for various towns in Mexico that I want to use for creating maps. What i want to do is to create maps different maps that show the data (e.g. as a colored dot) from one of the columns in the spreadsheet. Now my question is how I get the coordinates that transfer the data on to the map file, and what software I need to use. I have the map file both as svg and png. I also have geographical coordinates for each of the towns. I have seen some articles where table data is mapped onto map images in different articles. Can anyone help me with this?·maunus · snunɐɯ· 11:23, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Custody Notification Scheme

Request

It would be good to have a map of Australia showing which Australian states and territories have implemented a Custody Notification Scheme, ideally including the names of the states and territories. Sources included in the article; only NSW and ACT have implemented it. The article currently contains a generic map. HLHJ (talk) 03:44, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
