I'm not certain what the best source map would be, but I'd appreciate a Commons-compatible version of the map of Figure 6 (page 37) of this PDF (also accessible via this link) for the draft currently at en:User:Ljleppan/Polttoainehankinta. In addition to the Areas of Responsibility, it would be good to show the locations of en:Helsinki, en:Porkkala and a few of the larger cities (Perhaps en:Turku, en:Vaasa, en:Oulu, en:Rovaniemi and en:Ivalo if possible without sacrificing legibility?).
I'd also greatly appreciate Commons-version of the map(s) in Figure 5 (page 31) of the same PDF, but that's less of a priority.
There is no high quality map of the median line of the Taiwan Strait on Wikimedia Commons or on Wikipedia (the only ones I can find are these I've just uploaded and added here); such a map should be produced.

Map showing the locations of all NCAA Division I men's college ice hockey teams
Hello you people who do such wonderful work, can you please help with that one ? The pbms are with the colouring of the islands (red, yellow, or absence thereof). (The refs are all maps in openstreet showing the municipalities' limits and the islands' limits.)
Start with checking on map 4 "Nuevitas" because the red colouring of the islands makes it easier to sort out. In that map, at that scale, we see roughly what looks like 4 of them red islands + a sort of peninsula west of them that's (righfully) attached to Nuevitas municipality by being in red too. Add to that the island in white, on the left of them red ones, and that gives the following list from west to east :
cayo Coco, the island in white in map 4 and in red in map 1. It is with Morón[1]. This one has the proper colour in all 4 maps but I mention it in case you decide to spend some time checking what's what. Knowing what this one is, will help.
cayo Romano Occidental[2]. It belongs to Morón[1], so :
map 1: it should be in red (not in white).
map 2: it should be in yellow (not in white).
map 3: it should be in white (not in yellow).
map 4: it should be in white (not in red).
cayo Romano Oriental[2] is with Esmeralda[3]. It's the island that's got on its north side a long thin island which is cayo Cruz[4], so we can't get that one wrong. But also : it's taken me a while to sort out that the blob on its right, the one that looks (rather loosely) like an elephant with a bloated trump turned towards the left, is supposed to represent cayo Romano Oriental too (determined that by careful comparing of municipalities limits aligned with them cayos, + cayo Romano Oriental is almost 3 times the length of cayo Romano Occidental so that fits these maps too). So :
map 1 and map 2: both blobs ok in white.
map 3: both blobs should be in red (not in yellow).
map 4: both blobs should be in yellow (not in red).
cayo Guajaba[5] is with Nuevitas[6]. This one has the proper colour in all 4 maps.
cayo Sabinal (the "sort of peninsula") is with Nuevitas[6]. This one has the proper colour in all 4 maps.
Of course all the maps for all municipalities in Ciego de Ávila province and in Camagüey province also show the wrong colours for these islands but at least there is no red involved so it doesn't show so much. Besides that, in all the maps, Guáimaro municipality is shown to go all the way to the sea, which it doesn't (see fr:Guáimaro where I added a comment in that sense). For the municipalities in Camagüey province, each of them has a handy section "Municipalités voisines" with a table that gives links to all neighbouring places, + with the corresponding map in each, so you can jump from one to the next without having to go back to commons each time. I just finished that, will do Ciego de Ávila province next.
↑ abcayo Romano, map. It is divided in two : cayo Romano Occidental (name shown in this map) in Morón, Ciego de Ávila; and cayo Romano Oriental (I'm adding the "Oriental" as implied from the other bit, the map gives no name for this one) in Esmeralda, Camagüey.
Those drafts are PNG versions of the original SVG file I'm working in and will upload to commons.
Those drafts are shown for proofreading only.

Hi, you really did a great organized request but now when I have a more detailed svg map like this
Empty map draft it's very hard for me transfer your information. Also it seems like the municipals borders are a bit different on this svg map than on the png sources.
Would it be possible for you in some way give me information for each of the four maps what to color with what without referring to the png's?
@Pueblo89 OK, hope you are all right, or on the way, respect that things do take time to recover from. Yes, we can continue but I will need your help/knowledge all the way. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:29, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Goran tek-en, nice to see you're still around, and most grateful that you are still willing to work on that, thank you very much. As now demonstrated, I'm only half back so answers may take some days to come up. But i promise that they won't take more than 2 weeks (if health keeps up on my side - know that if i don't hold on to that it'll be because I'm decidedly back in hospital where comms are cut off). Sorry for that, the damn thing is really non-previsible so far.
The "Empty map draft" link is dead (fair enough!), can't see what differences there are with the municipal borders.
If you would be kind enough to let me know what you need, I'll try my best to provide answer/s.
So this is what I have as base map and I would need you to refer to that when telling what island/area to color in what color.
Looks neater than what I worked with, good.
I don't know if you have the possibility to download and make a color mark, number or other for which area to color, then you can email it to me. If not I will find another way for you but that would be best. Please remember that I have zero knowledge of this topic, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:33, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
email would be easiest, only I don't know where to find your email. I'm poorly equipped with that sort of thing (being from the previous millenium), can't see yours and can't/don't know how to put mine up in a safe way. Can make up a random provisional email address which I can publish here, but you'd have to mail something to it +/- within the hour (am online for another hour or so), so I can mail you back my proper email address and we can gop from there. Here is one: trun63+bo3ltjshu46s8@sharklasers.com.
Once that's done, you'll have to give me some time (like 1 to 3 days maybe) to upload the map and mark it with the names we'll need, also what colour goes where exactly. It's been a while since I looked at Cuba, want to check that I did not make mistakes in my description here above. Also need to check boundaries, they are more precise in your map so i want to check that i recognize everything. Pueblo89 (talk) 18:50, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pueblo89 Please always ping me so I surely see your posts.
If you go to my userpage here in this link, on the left side there is one heading Tools and under that you can find a link saying Email this user.
Hi Goran tek-en, (update 1) I'se sent you an email via wiki and I'm making a start on the map. Simple job (I'm crass at that sort of things, not like you), plain writing for the names of places, in different colours; and lines accordingly coloured joining the names to the places. No other colours: I've tried, it just makes a mess. Pueblo89 (talk) 18:42, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And added a new twist which I had previously missed: the large archipelago "Jardines de la Reina" on the south coast of Cuba is also divided between Ciego de Avila and Camagüey provinces, so I've surrounded each part and labelled them accordingly ; each part sould be either yellow or white, according to which map you're on - but none of it should be in red, contrary to what it shows in map 3 here above. The three other maps also got that one wrong:
map 1 (Moron, Ciego de Avila) puts it all in white, when the north-west part of it should be yellow.
map 2 (Bolivia, Ciego de Ávila) puts it all in white, when the north-west part of it should be yellow.
map 3 (Esmeralda, Camagüey) puts it all in red, when the north-west part of it should be white and the south-east part should be yellow.
map 4 (Nuevitas, Camagüey) puts the whole archipelago in yellow, when the north-west part of it should be white (in Ciego de Avila) and the south-east part in yellow (Camagüey).
Am also gathering here all the maps needed to check each and every municipality and island concerned :
cayo Coco (for unknown reason, this map does center on cayo Coco but it's decided to not highlight the limits. I'd have been surprised if everything had gone without a glitch. All the others below are fine.)
Apart from this problem here detailed, all the maps (of that series) for municipalities in Ciego de Avila province show cayo Romano Occidental in white (it should be yellow) ; and all the maps (of that series) for municipalities in Camagüey prov. show cayo Romano Occidental in yellow (it should be white). But it's not as important as for those maps here because the articles in which these maps are used do not focus as much on these islands. Plus I imagine it'll be a really boringly repetitive and uninteresting job. So just mentioning here in passing, but let's sort these here out first, the rest can wait. I've got the map all labelled and ready for when you reappear.
@Pueblo89 I don't really understand all the info, but I probably will once you have sent me your maps. Sent you a wiki email because I haven't received any from you. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:58, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Goran tek-en, I did send you something via wk, don't know where it's gone. Got your email in my own email box (not wk), just answered it but I find it suspicious that the email address is just "wiki(at)wikimedia.org", hell knows where that is gonna land. So pPlease let me know if you've got it. Thanks! Pueblo89 (talk) 17:53, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. Just realizing that you talk about "maps". So maybe you want one map, labelled, for each municipality? If yes, please just say so - and give me more time (I just received another urgent piece of (paying) work this afternoon). Pueblo89 (talk) 18:00, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pueblo89:
I think we have to start over again because I can't comprehend which information to use, sorry for that.
The type of maps you want is to my understanding Location maps and for them we do have Conventions which we try to stick to, and that do not include white or red so I'm not sure which colors to use.
You have provided some great information but what I really need is very exact information (not explanations, why or what, just do this) for each of the maps you want me to do. E.a. Map 4) Municipality of Nuevitas in Camagüey prov.; Nuevitas (Camagüey) colored X color, etc.
I don't have any knowledge (and I don't need it, if so I will ask) about any of this, just tell me which color you want for which area and map, and do check the link for Conventions.
Sorry to be troubling about this but my brain can't handle too much information, do hope you understand, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:00, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Goran tek-en, I got all the maps for Cuba's municipalities from Category:Locator maps of municipalities of Cuba, all 150+ of them are used at least once and apart from one fancy map and a couple of others, all of them use white, yellow and red. These maps indicate what region the municipality is in (in yellow), where the municipality is (in red), and the rest is in white with all other municipalities outlined in thin black lines (your map is better; shows thicker lines for regions, that a very nice plus, and outlines for municipalities - therefore for regions too - are much more precise and no gross mistakes like there are in the present maps).
"I'm not sure which colors to use": me neither, and I see a lot less maps than you do I'm sure. I've had a look at the 'conventions' page you link, I don't understand how these conventions can show the same information. Seems to me that they apply to any specific spot but don't cover the 'region' level. If they do, I need to see an example because otherwise I don't get it.
If it's up to me, i most sincerely don't give a fig about "conventions". I care about coherency within a given set; the set I'm looking at is just Cuba, not the rest of the world; that suits me fine for diversity. And as I don't expect you to redo all the maps for all the municipalities in Cuba, I'd rather keep to the white/yellow/red coherency that's already there.
On the other hand, I'm not hung up on that either. You, are going to colour them. You, have your own preferences for whatever set of conventions you want to follow. So you say whatever set of colours pleases you best: what colour for the municipality, what colour for the region that includes said municipality.
Once we get that sorted, I think the best/easiest for you will be that I make one labeled map for each municipality, pointing out which municipality and which region takes which colour (and I leave the rest blank anyway so you can put whatever colour you want for the rest). That way, no blabla (which would indeed do my head in too if I was in your shoes, no contest about that!): when you colour the maps you won't even have to think what colour goes where, just apply it from the labels I'll have put.
Hi Goran tek-en, ah, ok. At least we've got some red here; so that would do for the municipalities.
According to that set of conventions, the region in which the municipality is, would be in the colour for "Surrounding territories (Internal)", called "#FDFBEA" ; and the other regions of Cuba would be in the colour for "Surrounding landmass (Outside)", called #DFDFDF (the coloured rectangles don't want to come up when I copy-paste their codes here). Have I got that right ?
In Category:Locator maps of municipalities of Cuba there are 5 maps that use the "zoom" thing. In this particular case i think it needlessly complicates the maps : your blank already includes the contours of all municipalities, that's good enough we don't need more.
yes for Territory of interest / Marked / Focus, #C12838, .
ok for Surrounding territories (Internal), "#FDFBEA", , for the region/province to which the municipality belongs.
The "other internal division of the same administrative level, #F5F5F5", , does not give enough contrast with the "#FDFBEA" . I can hardly see the difference and there are many people whose eyesight is even worse than mine. I really don't think it's appropriate (in fact I find it most unconsiderate). The "Surrounding landmass (Outside), #DFDFDF", , seems much better. Can distinguish it much more easily from "#FDFBEA" .
Hi Goran tek-en (update) I've sent you the 4 maps by email, one for each municipality, labelled and with some spots of colour. Can you check them and tell me if it's enough or if you want more details ? Thanks! Pueblo89 (talk) 19:51, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pueblo89 I tried the coloring we talked about before but it doesn't work on the 3 small islands when viewed at 100%.
So I suggest this coloring as it also work for most people with color deficiencies and has better contrast.
What do you mean, 'fill me in on 1 and 2'? (sorry, I'm getting cotton-stuffed head with my current job. Did you get my email with the 4 maps labelled and with colour points?)
Point 1: here on openstreetmap, the limits of the municipio of Nuevitas. It shows where the red is supposed to stop, that's pretty much where you stopped it. At that scale I wouldn't try to be more finicky than that, really: it won't make much difference. As it is, it shows that the municipio stops before what looks like the end of the land at that scale. Good. Anyone who needs more precision can look at openstreet map or similar.
Point 2: yes you got that bang right too.
Point 3 (Jardines de la Reina in the south): yes the colour for the region is fine for larger areas but it's hardly distinguishable on land surfaces that small. That's why the yellow was better, needs v. strong contrasts for these small bits. A darker shade maybe?

@Pueblo89 Thanks for info. Now you have to check all the drafts. It's hard to know about some of the islands so please check all, thanks. You can zoom in on them.
Bolivia : The red is accurate, great. But the Bahamas islands in the upper right corner appear to have the same colour as the Province of Ciego de Ávila; upon zooming it appears that it's not quite the same colour, but it definitely still looks like it. It's confusing. Same for the Cayman Islands near the bottom.
For all the maps: same problem of contrast with the islands in the Jardines de la Reina on the south coast. So I reiterate that there is not enough contrast between the province and the rest. Why put "Looking good" above "Being good"? That, is not right. + You're doing a first-rate job, so why abide by second-rate thinking? That too is not right. Pueblo89 (talk) 10:16, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you just made it good - rather than just looking good as it had been so far. The difference is in that latest batch : much much clearer, I can see which small islands are coloured and which are not, at first glance, no magnifying glass and no eye strain. That, is good; and so it makes your work being valued for what it really is: first rate. Thank you very much. Pueblo89 (talk) 17:00, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the colours for "Legal for medical use and decriminalized" and "Decriminalized" are quite similar and could lead to confusion, especially on small screens like mobiles and for people with sight and colour blindness and similar such issues. So, I think more different/distinct colours could be used for this map, taking into account colour blindness and sight issues and just generally be easier to distinguish between for everyone.

Map of the Thirteen Colonies what appears to be German
Could someone make a version of this map in US English?
The idea is to have a good map in English of the Thirteen Colonies as they existed in 1775 before the US Declaration of Independence: a map that is not anachronistic—that is, a map that doesn't show boundaries of US states that did not exist at the time. إيان (talk) 23:30, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Timeshifter. I am not sure to directly help here but I would like to share some thoughts related to your request:
I found that for many users editing a "simple" text file such as svg is not so obvious. For this reason I think it will be nice to have a graphical interface to do so. For this reason I started working on a tool like this one. The interface is not very good but it has some nice features to help editing maps. I can upload more maps if needed.
Few years ago I made a proposal to seaparate the css files from the svg. In fact, we have a lot of maps that represent the same countries or regions but need different colours. I though that it will be good to have one svg with the geographica representation and a separate file for the colours. There was some intresting discussion on this but not accepted.
I think we will need to have some deeper discussion on the format for this kind of svg maps. I personally belive that it will be good to have some classes and features in the svg that can help automatic detection of specific elements or machine use for editing.
Ikonact. cmglee is the main creator of the map templates. Maybe he can tell us what he thinks of your maps.
I have a question. Is there a way to paste in a list of states and values into your maps. To make maps with the data on the maps. That is what is possible with cmglee maps. It is very easy to do. Just need the list. A good set of colors is already in the map. Those colors can be changed.
cmglee can probably adapt this data map template method to other countries and their subnational areas (states, provinces, etc.). --Timeshifter (talk) 17:53, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's a useful tool, @Ikonact: Though I prefer scripting, I can see other editors preferring a GUI. Will it have a way to save a draft and resume editing, or to load someone else's map to make changes?
I didn't see your proposal in 2017, and would very much welcome having SVG files referencing or transcluding other files. I've been using a hack using systemLanguage so that a single SVG can generate different thumbnails, e.g. for each tower's article:
@Cmglee: I remember, I have seen your svg with the towers and I find it a good idea. I find it a twist as the purpose of the systemLanguage is different but I agree it is a good work around. The main issue is that this will not work for multiple elements - if you wish to highlight several states on a map for example. I will be glad if we can propose something that make sense. I have to admit I am playing solo for the moment :-) Ikonact (talk) 13:33, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated this to a version without arrowheads. The previous version had the arrowhead problem: I still welcome advice on how I can put arrows into diagrams in Inkscape and have the arrowheads render properly on Wikimedia. MartinPoulter (talk) 15:29, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Map of the route from the Varangians to the Greeks[edit]
I would like for the original image of 2017 (uploaded by Minnekon) to be restored, but with en:Truso in the correct place (namely on the right bank of the Vistula, as Artur Andrzej tried to move it in 2023). The issue with the 2023 correction is that the overall quality of the image has degraded. I tried to fix the problem myself by editing the 2017 original and moving Truso to the right bank in Microsoft Paint, but I got much the same result as Artur Andrzej in 2023. It probably has something to do with the .gif format that I do not understand. If anyone can make a higher-quality image in any other kind of format (like .svg), perhaps even with a different underlying map altogether, but showing much the same information, that would also be appreciated; I'm not tied to this image in particular. --Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 07:58, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Example of a map for the "State of Somaliland" (from the administrative point of view of the Somali authorities), which is not sufficiently country-centric.
Could someone use the first map as a reference to put an overlay of the highlighted red area into a vector map, like the second map in the gallery (preferably zoomed in more on Germany, like in the first map)? -- Colohisto (talk) 01:36, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
