[edit] SVG maps

Hi, where do you get the data for your maps, and how do you put it into Inkscape? I noticed that you have municipal boundaries on several and I am interested in making SVG municipal boundary maps for cities in Texas. -- Drumguy8800 05:33, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please give images good descriptions

I noticed you've uploaded one or more images and I thought I should turn your attention to a common error.
Please give some thought to writing a good description of uploaded images. This ensures that they can be used. It also helps those that review and improve categories do a better job, which also ensures that images will get used in novel and interesting ways. Thanks, and happy editing!

[edit] Maps

I noticed your maps (Image:E233rdSt map.png & Image:Gun Hill Road (Bronx) map.png) I have three articles on wikipedia that need maps: en:Prairie Avenue, en:Rush Street (Chicago) and en:Historic Michigan Boulevard District. Can you help. TonyTheTiger 16:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] South Texas county maps

Just wanted to say you're doing a great job creating county maps highlighting cities in South Texas (especially Webb County), keep up the good work.

Hello 25or6to4!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. BotMultichill (talk) 12:33, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Parker County AnnettaNorth.svg

Hello 25or6to4,

I just wanted to let you know that there's a mistake on this file that you made--the wrong county is highlighted. I would appreciate it if you could fix the map and re-upload it. Thanks! –Benjamin (talk) 19:13, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jamaica Beach

Do you mind making a map indicating the location of Jamaica Beach? WhisperToMe (talk) 03:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please link images

Hello 25or6to4!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Commons images are used by editors on many projects in many languages. Each image is put into categories. This helps other editors find them. Please add categories to each image you upload.

To add an image to a category, add the following code to the end of the page.

[[Category:Category Name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbit of comets, add the following to the image description page:

[[Category:Astronomy diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories: Astronomy diagrams, Comets.

For further information on categories read Commons:Categories.

The CommonSense Tool often helps you find the best category for your image.

Here is a gallery of your images. Please check that each image has a category. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the help desk. Thank you.

[edit] File:I-694 (MN) map.svg

For this map, you missed that part of the highway that is concurrent with Interstate 94. It is still considered part of 694. --HoennMaster (talk) 16:30, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:I-540 (NC) map.svg

File:I-540 (NC) map.svg needs updating. The route now extends 4 miles west an about 7 miles further east. See [1] which is the Google Maps version which shows the current routing. Thanks! --Jayron32 (talk) 21:14, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] The text issue

Hey. The text issue appears to have something to do with the position of the text object in the SVG file. Three of the labels on the initial version of File:NY Route 361 map.svg were messed up, so I checked out the source. It ends up that all three text objects were at the very bottom of the code. I moved them up to where the rest of the text objects were in the code and reuploaded, and it cleared the issue up. I have no idea why the position of the object in the code makes a difference, but apparently it does. I tried to do a fix on File:NJ 79 map.svg by moving the group that the text was in farther up in the code; it didn't work. I'll keep looking into it. This is certainly an annoying bug, if only for the fact that we have to reupload to see if we fixed it (since it renders fine in Inkscape and Firefox). --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 06:33, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Tried a couple more things, as you probably see from the NJ 79 map's file history. From what I can guess, if text is below a group in the code, Wiki's SVG renderer will mess it up. That's the only explanation/conclusion I can come up with based on the NJ 79 and NY 361 maps. On NY 361, the three objects that borked initially were below my grouped shields while the rest of the text was above them; everything straightened out when I moved the three objects above the groups. This is definitely an issue on Wikimedia's end (considering it looks fine when viewed directly in Firefox and Inkscape) regarding their SVG-to-PNG renderer/converter; I'd post something on the village pump. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 07:01, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Well...heh...maybe not. I tweaked and changed some settings regarding the text in Inkscape and a text editor and finally got it to work right. =) I'll find another map with borked text and try to replicate my results. If it was something as simple as a couple of numbers, though, it doesn't explain why the text messed up on NY 361's map earlier since the code that was moved up higher was the same exact code that was buggy before. Methinks the renderer itself is buggy. =) --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 07:28, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Fixed File:Texas 3 map.svg. What I did:

Ungrouped the individual text objects (apparently they each had their own group)
Changed part of the text using the second tab of Inkscape's text and font tool (Text -> Text and font) to force Inkscape to regenerate the properties of the text
Changed the text back and saved
Removed all of the coordinates after the first one in the text's <tspan> tags in a text editor.

That's enough debugging for me today. =) --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 07:49, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the help so far! I went ahead and tried these steps on file:Texas 4 map.svg. Half worked, half didn't. What I noticed was that the ones that did work ("Brownsville" and "Cameron") had numbered x and y coordinates, while the rest (Port Isabel, Los Fresnos, and the legend labels) had x and y coordinates of zero. Will also point you to this discussion, if you hadn't seen it already. 25or6to4 (talk) 19:59, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Commonist licenses

Dear 25or6to4,

As you might know Wikimedia is currently migrating from the GFDL to cc-by-sa-3.0. Wikimedia Commons is also migrating and we're down to less than 8000 files (started with about 1,8M files) . Unfortunatly this number keeps growing because Commonist contains outdated license templates. You appear to be running Commonist, could you please change the following lines in your license.txt?

{{self2|GFDL|cc-by-sa-2.5,2.0,1.0}} should be changed to {{Self|GFDL|Cc-by-sa-3.0,2.5,2.0,1.0}}

{{self2|GFDL|cc-by-2.5}} should be changed to {{self|GFDL|cc-by-3.0}}

{{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} should be changed to {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}}

Can I also fix the images you have already uploaded by adding {{cc-by-sa-3.0}}?

Thank you very much, Multichill (talk) 12:19, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
