If it is the last with info then you should mark this as resolved {{section resolved|1=~~~~}} because there is nothing anyone can do. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:44, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

Article(s): w:cs:Šablona:LocMap Česko a Slovensko and many articles about sports, music, etc. events

Request
Hello, these two countries (Czech Republic, Slovakia) were separated a while ago, but both countries cooperate on many events, for example many sports or music events take place partly in Czech Republic and partly in Slovakia. For articles about these topics, Czechia or Slovakia location map is too close and location points are out of the map. On the other hand the Central Europe location map.svg is too distant and location points are too close to each other. There are many historic maps of Czechoslovakia, but the borderlines are outdated on these maps and also many are missing the borderline between Czechia and Slovakia obviously, so we can not really use them.

Locator map of Loveland, Ohio

    Locator map in Hamilton County

Article(s): en:Loveland, Ohio

Request
This image is misleading, because it only shows Loveland's location within Hamilton County. Loveland lies within three counties: Hamilton, Clermont, and Warren. Loveland does hang off the side of this Hamilton County map, but you can't tell that there are three counties involved. This situation affects many municipalities, but most are primarily in a single county. A majority of Loveland's land may be in Hamilton County, but the downtown and city hall are in Clermont County. Accommodating all three counties may be challenging. For the purpose of the infobox that it's currently embedded in, perhaps the three counties could be laid out vertically. – Minh Nguyễn 💬 06:04, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: , it was due to an ip user keep on changing map on a lots of article. Some of the reasoning seem right, for example for "Pahlavi dynasty". But yes, i did not have source, just have the two jpg files. The ip did not even provide any other source to allow other people to follow up. Just common sense at that time was Soviet Union instead of Russia, is not enough. Matthew hk (talk) 18:17, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Battle of Cape Econmus

Article(s): En:Battle of Cape Econmus

Request
A replacement set of maps showing the three stages of the Battle of Ecnomus
The English Wikipedia article Battle of Cape Econmus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cape_Ecnomus) has a map - (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CapeEcnomus.png). Unfortunately it is inaccurate in a couple of small but important details. A have recently successfully nominated the article for GA, it is currently undergoing an ACR, and I hope to shortly submit it for FAC; for this the map need to be correct. There are a number of similar maps, e.g. here (an Internet Archive resource, free registration needed). But perhaps the best maps to base any new ones on are here - apart from the lack of a key and the barely distinguishable colours. This is my first map request, so apologies for anything missed.

@Gog the Mild: I could help you but there are some things I don't understand. I have no knowledge of this subject, the link for the article is wrong in some way, you use some abbreviations and I don't understand them, I'm a graphic worker not an editor. You have two links to sources but the one to google books I don't know how to get to page 89, in the livius link there are several images so I don't know which. Please just get me a link to the images directly and what ever text information I need. Please ping me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:13, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

  • If you look closely, second image has finish line marking and "Ave S 7th" (jumbled) street name above the race circuit. First image covers both these elements with the route SVG path.

Maps of Fujian

Article(s): Zhangzhou; Quanzhou; Putian; Fuzhou

Request
In the File:Shannan mcp.png map and File:Nyingchi mcp.png map, we can clearly see what areas are claimed by the People's Republic of China. Those files are used on English Wikipedia's en:Shannan, Tibet and en:Nyingchi pages. That's an ethical and a fair way to represent a dispute/claim. There are four maps of the territories of the People's Republic of China that don't show this kind of 'claimed' or 'disputed' status, namely File:Administrative Division Zhangzhou prfc map.png, File:Administrative Division Putian prfc map.png, File:Administrative Division Fuzhou prfc map.png, and File:Administrative Division Quanzhou 3.png. I would like to request that some new but similar maps be created that would indicate more clearly what areas are in the Republic of China (Taiwan). The original maps should be used in the Wikiworld for the purpose of understanding the claims made by the PRC, but the new maps I propose would be used for displaying the situation as it is. I am not skilled enough to make these maps well. I think using something like the methodology used on the maps for Shannan and Nyingchi would work great. I recently encountered a similar type of problem on the File:Taiwan relief location map.jpg page. Thanks for any help or suggestions. (Original request was here:[3])

Adding contemporary coastlines to map of Kingdom of Northumbria

Some of the maps of Anglo-Saxon (and Norse) England show coastlines based on David Hill's An Atlas of Anglo-Saxon England, as in File:England green top.svg, with Yorkshire and Lincolnshire in particular shown as being mainly "sea, swap or alluvium".

There are also some things to be fixed here: Vaubois is spelled incorrectly; Davidovich corps (18k troops) present in Ala by the 12th is not shown; Massena's strength actually was around 9,500 while Augereau had 8,300 (his movement towards Brenta and back is also not shown); Joubert is incorrectly shown to leave Legnago completely (while a single demi-brigade was dispatched); presence of 28k troops in Mantua under Wurmser's command may also be depicted. --Qbli2mHd (talk) 17:52, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
If an SVG is made, it can be changed slightly to substitute the other two images. --Qbli2mHd (talk) 18:03, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

Extended content
@Qbli2mHd: This is a draft of the base map so check it and tell me if you want anything edited. I also wonder what that symbol means that is at Bresica?, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:01, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: looks great. There is another typo: of course it should be en:Brescia. And if I get it right, you ask about symbols also marking the cities of Mantua, Verona, Padua etc: these denote fortified settlements. --Qbli2mHd (talk) 23:16, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
@Qbli2mHd: Some qustions;
  • What do the two circles around Mantua depict?
  • Are all the dashed lines with arrow, movements?
  • Some blue dashed lines start with a dashed circle, what are the circles?
  • There are two solid red lines/arrows, what are they? --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:10, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Circles around Mantua denote 28k Austrian troops under Wurmser's command besieged by Kilmaine's troops.
  • Dashed lines are movements, the circles they start from are divisions' initial positions.
  • Red arrows to the east: army of Alvinczi approached Brenta by November 5th split into two columns of roughly equal size (I think it's better to omit the numbers by them). Quosdanovich's column reached Brenta at Bassano and Provera's at Fontaniva. --Qbli2mHd (talk) 21:31, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
@Qbli2mHd: Some of the blue dashed movements are almost exactly following roads. Should they exactly follow the roads (did the troops transport on them) or just next to them? Please ping me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:00, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: yes, it denotes movement via roads, you may design it as you see fit. You may also find these maps helpful as they show troop movements better. I'd also like some corrections as per this map: to change the name of "Arcola" to "Arcole", "Villanuova" to "San Bonifacio" and also remove the Tramigna stream, tributary joining Alpone from the west (it's currently depicted as if the road crosses two rivers which is not very important for the map). --Qbli2mHd (talk) 00:50, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
@Qbli2mHd: Draft 3, for you to check. The fortified settlements, did they belong to either side, blue/red or should they be as they are? Feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:39, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
  • @Goran tek-en: I think it's better to mark only the Quadrilateral fortresses (Peschiera, Mantua, Legnago and Verona) and sign them as such in the legend. Regarding the colours: the only important thing to show here is that Mantua is held by the Austrians and besieged by the French (the other three are never reached by the Austrians). You could either paint the French-held fortresses blue and Mantua red or just draw a red circle around Mantua (with a bigger blue circle around it in either case).
  • Name of Alvinczi is misspelled.
  • It would be good to show that Vaubois' initial position was to the north of Trent as he attacked the Austrians at San Michele on November 2, but there is too little space in the map. If it can be enlarged a bit we could show the initial positions and engagement as well as manpower (10,500 for Vaubois and 18,400 for Davidovich), if it's not an option we could just show Vaubois' retreat from the north to Rivoli and Davidovich's advancement to Serravalle (village itself can be omitted on the map). --Qbli2mHd (talk) 19:09, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
  • Initial positions on the east also can be improved. I think we should show Alvinczi's army at Bassano and Fontaniva opposed by Augereau and Massena respectively on the western bank of Brenta, and the armies' subsequent movement towards Verona. --Qbli2mHd (talk) 01:52, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
@Qbli2mHd: Draft 4.
  • For this "Initial positions on the east also can be improved. I think we should show Alvinczi's army at Bassano and Fontaniva opposed by Augereau and Massena respectively on the western bank of Brenta, and the armies' subsequent movement towards Verona." I need specifics about what to put out. I don't have any knowledge of who is who or anything. What is Fontaniva?
  • As we have same armies doing different stuff on different days, for me it's hard to understand that when they look the same. Would the map benefit from in some way having different colors/symbols for the different days? --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:08, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: take a look at this map, I think it'll make me easier to understand. What we need to show:
  • In the north: on 2 November Vaubois division advances from Trent to attack Davidovich corps positioned in San Michele. Then armies move south and have another battle at Calliano on 6 November. Afterwards Vaubois retreats to Rivoli and Davidovich advances to Serravalle.
  • In the east: on 6 November Austrians under Alvinczi (28,000) are attacked from the west bank by Augerau division (8,300) at Bassano and by Masséna division (9,400) at Fontaniva. Afterwards the French retreat to Verona, while Austrians advance to Caldiero.
It would be less confusing if we only had a single symbol for each unit on the map. --Qbli2mHd (talk) 06:22, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

@Qbli2mHd: I'm sorry but this is really complicated for me without any knowledge of this so I have to take a step back so I can get the basics right, I hope that is OK with you. The draft here is for the northern part you explained and is so I can get things right.

  • We have File:Template of Military Symbols.svg this template with military symbols but if you don't intend to show different sizes, types of units I don't think we have any usage of them?
  • 2/11 Did Davidovich (blue) win so after that they were advancing and red was retreating?
  • I have added lines-arrows (just draft ones) and solid is forward and dashed is pulling back, does that work for you?
  • I don't know where blue went after 6/11 as I can't find Serravalle in this area.
  • Is it OK to have battle marks with dates in them?
  • Please always add (red) or (blue) when you say who did what, it's so much easier for me. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:21, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: looks good. I'd only move names closer to initial positions (Vaubois to Trent and Davidovich to San Michele) and place "2 Nov." battle symbol below San Michele so that red arrow points at it.
@Qbli2mHd: Sorry about Serravalle, my mistake.
Now we have a working method, thanks. Draft 6. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:15, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: I've only just noticed we got colours messed up. Let's have the French in blue and the Austrians in red.
I also wonder if increasing the font size up 1 pt would increase readability.
We can also show en:Battle of Caldiero (1796) (another victory for the Austrians on November 12).
We should also show that there're Wurmser's 28k in Mantua besieged by Kilmaine's 8,300. --Qbli2mHd (talk) 04:41, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
@Qbli2mHd: Draft 7.
  • You wrote: We can also show en:Battle of Caldiero (1796) (another victory for the Austrians on November 12). You have to explain what you want in detail otherwise I don't know..
  • What else do you want by Mantua?
  • Of course I can increase the font size but do you mean all text?
  • When I make a map I never know at which size it will be viewed and it probably varies. So I make it readable at 100% but do you know at which size you will use it because then I can make it for that size? --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:38, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

please correct Alaska flag to US as anachronism… --Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 05:08, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
  • The current flag of Alaska was adopted in 1927, before the time period represented by this map. Whether it should instead use another copy of the United States flag is uncertain. (Alaska was a territory at this time and would be admitted as a state only in 1959.) –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:52, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
It's not a country-other flags used are not subnational.Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 05:40, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
I agree that Alaska should have the American flag -- Korea was a Japanese territory at the time, and this map correctly has the Japanese flag over Korea. --1990'sguy (talk) 15:14, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
If Alaska's flag is to be changed, should those of pre-Commonwealth Puerto Rico, and the Commonwealth of the Philippines (established in 1935) be changed?—AlphaMikeOmega (talk) 15:17, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

St. Wenceslas Prison (Prague)

Hi, I would like to ask you for a favor: could someone of you please make a map with the ground plan of Svatováclavská trestnice (St. Wenceslas Prison, the only prison in Prague till 1890s, when Pankrác prison was opened) - or - could you teach me how to do it? The scheme is to see in this video: https://www.ceskatelevize.cz/porady/10116288835-z-metropole/219411058230033/video/713917?fbclid=IwAR2bcl8fYG1I8LkmUk7EHlwh5p2lH0aUHKGjlvGzQ-xuPh5r09coLO4Tolk at 6:23. I promise to make a stub about the prison then in both cases. Thank you! --Jiří Janíček (talk) 17:15, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

@Jiří Janíček: First it would be great and so much easier for every one if you would use the "Make a new request" link at the top, this gives us all the code we need.
I might be able to help you but you will have to provide me with information/links/layouts/maps or whatever for the prison and tell me what kind of ground plan you want, how much details, what to include and so on, thanks. Please ping me. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:15, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en and Goran: , thank you very much and sorry for my delayed answer. Actually I don't know much what to say to you - more info is anyway here in Czech: https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedie:Pod_l%C3%ADpou/Archiv_2019/02#Svatov%C3%A1clavsk%C3%A1_trestnice. I don't care and have no idea how it should look like, I personally think the scheme that is here: https://www.ceskatelevize.cz/porady/10116288835-z-metropole/219411058230033/video/713917?fbclid=IwAR2bcl8fYG1I8LkmUk7EHlwh5p2lH0aUHKGjlvGzQ-xuPh5r09coLO4Tolk (at time 6:23) is ok, but some colleagu at the cs page recommended something else - a better map is here (but is so big that it's not working for me well): https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e3/Juttneruv_plan_Prahy.jpg. I hope you can implement the scheme from the video on the map we can use in Wikipedie, what is, I think, the OpenStreetMap? The region on the OpenStreetMap is in this area: https://www.openstreetmap.org/export#map=18/50.07498/14.41582 (Prague, Dittrichova Street). Is there anything else that you need? Can you do it somehow? Thank you! --Jiří Janíček (talk) 13:46, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

:::@Jiří Janíček: The videolink that is stroked thru is only 5.38 long so there is no 6.23. Maybe it's the wrong video? And why is the link stroked thru, I thought that meant it was broken...

For the big map, I don't know which area you mean. I have made a small version of it, can you encircle which area you mean and show it/send it to me. You have to provide me with something to see, thanks. Please ping me. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:39, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

  • This is a draft for you so you can tell me if this is the right shape and if it's in the right position?
  • This is a draft but is it something like this you want, with the whole of that image also?
  • In the email you talk about a link to the picture of the former prison, which image?
  • What can be done on wikipedia concerning overlays and stuff I have no knowledge, but I have seen overlays there. Talk to some other editors. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:22, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi Goran, thank you very much, actually I see that I am not able to answer your questions and actually don't know what is possible to do. I asked a colleague from cs wiki Matej Orlicky, if he would be se nice and would answer your questions (https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskuse_s_wikipedistou:Mat%C4%9Bj_Orlick%C3%BD#Svatov%C3%A1clavsk%C3%A1_trestnice). All I can say is that I in between founded two another maps that I am sending you through e-mail - and it seems the prison is not the building you marked in the draft - but probably the building no. 329 lower - I hope Matej will tell us more realiably).

@Jiří Janíček: Please always ping me, thanks. I don't understand what you meant by this file Juttneruv plan - snad Svatovaclavska trestnice.jpg that you sent me?
The other two you sent show the same area but the encircled shapes are different so now we have three different shapes with the one I show in the draft.
I know where it was situated now but I don't know which of the three different shapes I should use, you have to tell me. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:58, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Goran tek-en. Not completely, I think the areas occupied by Germany should be included too (maybe in a slightly different colour, if possible?). Encycloon (talk) 17:43, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Encycloon Why I picked this area is because that's the same (more or less) as in the image for 1937 that you showed. Can you download a png from File:World_War_II_in_Europe,_1942.svg, draw a rectangle for the area you want and send it to me. At this point you don't have to think about how it looks, it's just the overall area now. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:58, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
