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.

An update is needed since a source from en:UNOSAT (link here) has given demarcation for the new state of north Somalia SSC-Khatumo. Could someone incorporate the UNOSAT source on Khatumo borders into the above map please? --Billboardbillal (talk) 10:48, 2 January 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.

Create vector static map for commuter rail network[edit]
@OrdinaryScarlett As it is the requester who has the knowledge about the subject and the graphic workers knows the graphic, it's common that the requester provides a good free source for the request. Graphic worker doesn't generally do research and reads a lot of text etc, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:28, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The two merge together and both end at the same point; at Washington Union Station. Because of the way that these maps work, unfortunately you can only see one line over the other when they overlap. But yes, they both at the same point. --OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 05:46, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New range maps for Bathytoshia stingrays to be used on en.wikipedia[edit]

Article(s): Many articles across Wikipedia.
Request
These linguistic and ethnicity maps of the Armenian language and the Armenian people need to be updated after the Flight of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians in 2023, which has resulted in the total ethnic cleansing of the Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh and thus from all of Azerbaijan, after Azerbaijan took all of Nagorno-Karabakh. There is no Armenian community left anymore within Azerbaijan's internationally recognized borders. --Multituberculata (talk) 08:50, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Map with JF-17 jet airplane operators in blue, loctaed on the following Wikipedia page
There are changes and corrections that should be made to this map. Firstly, Morocco and Syria should be in grey, as there is no cited information on the above linked Wikipedia page to say suicide is illegal in either country (as the map currently claims). Secondly, Chile and Cuba should be in green as suicide is cited as legal in both, while assisted is suicide illegal. Helper201 (talk) 01:35, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update request for the Indonesia Ethnic Groups Map[edit]
Is there anyone here who would like to make revisions, additions, and also make an English version of this map? I already have a list of things that need to be revised and updated, but I will mention these things in stages considering the length of the list I have. Note: I already have the name labels on this map in English and Indonesian, so you don't need to translate them anymore, just write them on the map. --Ibrahim Muizzuddin (talk) 08:19, 3 March 2024 (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]
This is a valid SVG file edited in Inkscape but saved as plain SVG. When I look at this file in Inkscape or in a web browser, the arrowheads are pointing in the correct direction. When viewed on Wikimedia, the arrowheads all point to the right. Any help is gratefully received for getting the arrows to render properly on Wikimedia. --MartinPoulter (talk) 16:18, 11 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]
Article(s):w:en:Freedom of panorama (to replace Commons-slanted EU-FoP map in the article, which is supposed to be neutral (and not excessively favor Wikimedian perspective) per w:en:WP:NEUTRAL.)
Request
Change the color for both Belarus and Ukraine to yellow from red, as both have non-commercial FoP (yellow is for non-commercial FoP countries).
Change also Sweden to light green as there is indeed FoP only for buildings, but no commercial FoP for monuments and public art.
Add Kosovo, as dark green (yes FoP since October 2023).
Add Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, and the Vatican City - as red.
Hi! Please update and vectorize this outdated raster map file. The C and F lines have been permanently discontinued in 2021 and 2020, respectively, so both need to be removed from this map. Thank you! --OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 02:04, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
