 Request taken. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 23:15, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

@Kintetsubuffalo: I've got the shaded area done, do you want the points of interest included or left out? --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 15:48, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Included please, and thank you for taking this!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 17:14, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

@Kintetsubuffalo:  Done: I removed the Rio Grande Rift label because of the note on the file page, but everything else is there. It seems like quite the busy map, so if you'd like things removed/changed/moved around let me know. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 00:06, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

That's fantastic, thank you so much!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 01:26, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

List of countries that have gained independence from the United Kingdom

Request

Okay, I've noticed a few inaccuracies with the above-left map that should probably be fixed:

1) The flag of the Dominican Republic is incorrectly shown for Dominica (above-centre), a completely different country.

2) Saint Vincent and the Grenadines gained independence in 1979, not 1931.

3) There's no arrow linking the flag of Myanmar to its respective country.

4) The flag of Malta is wrongly shown to be linked to the Balearic Islands, not at Malta itself.

5) Nauru gained independence in 1968, not 1957.

6) The Maldives gained independence in 1965, not 1982.

7) The flags of Tonga and Tuvalu are actually shown pointing to Fiji, and the flag of Fiji itself is linked to Vanuatu (the actual locations of said countries are provided on the above-right map).

8) Papua New Guinea gained independence from Australia in 1975, not Britain, hence it should be removed from the map (otherwise you'd have to include all other countries that gained independence from former British holdings, such as Namibia, Bangladesh, South Sudan, etc.).

Commonwealth Games Participants and Hosts Map

Commonwealth Games

Request

Alright, with the recent conclusion of the 2018 Commonwealth Games, the above map could do with a few changes:

1) Gambia rejoined the CoN in March 2018 and participated in this year's Games, hence it should be changed back to red.

2) The city of Birmingham, England, is set to host the next Games in 2022, and thus should be marked as such.

3) Given that the city of Durban, South Africa, is no longer scheduled to host the 2022 Games, the marker for the city should be removed from the map, and South Africa itself changed from purple back to red, as it no longer qualifies as a country that has hosted or plans to host the Games (after all, Montreal and Cardiff were scheduled to host the cancelled 1942 and 1946 Games respectively, and yet neither are marked as such, hence Durban shouldn't be either).

ISIS Map Request

  Brief overview world map of ISIS, not focus on their influenced territories

Article(s)

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant

Request

In Talk:Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_the_Levant/Archive_41#Territorial_control_map, some editors suggested replacing the article infobox territorial control map with a map for all ISIS-related insurgencies, historical and current, in order to better reflect the subject because of the decreasing area of control they have on Iraq and Syria. AS it doesn't seems like such map exists in the article so I would like to request for creation of such a map. -- C933103 (talk) 16:50, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
