Map edit request

Hi Cephas - on your map File:Arenaria interpres map.svg, could you make the wintering areas in western Europe more obvious, please (similar to the east coast on North America)? It is barely visible except at high resolutions. Maybe a different colour overall, less close to the sea colour, might be better too. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 21:19, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Excellent, thanks! I was also thinking, the widths of the colours are very unequal in some places? In some areas (e.g. eastern USA) it is very thick, in others (e.g. NW Europe, W Mexico) it is very narrow. Would it be easy to make them more equal? - MPF (talk) 23:02, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks again! Unfortunately, that is just bad drawing on the source map (I took a look at it); the same artefact is not shown in other published distribution maps. It is of course a strictly coastal species outside of the breeding season, which leaves the problem of illustrating a strip which is thousands of km long, but no more than a few tens of metres (to at most, perhaps 1 km) wide, on a map where that width is invisible at the scales used. One has to make an accomodation for that, and using a line of equal width on all coasts is the best option. - MPF (talk) 23:30, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Another map edit, please: File:Cistothorus platensis map.svg, where the problem is that this has been split into two species (IOC; scroll ⅓ way down page). The bulk of this map, the migratory population (orange, yellow, blue) in USA and northeast Mexico is now Cistothorus stellaris, while the resident populations (purple) in southern Mexico and Central America remain in C. platensis, which also occurs widely in South America. My suggestion therefore would be to remove the purple areas from this map, and rename it File:Cistothorus stellaris map.svg; and then create a new map for C. platensis based on a South America base map. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 09:37, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Any progress on this one, please? Thanks! - MPF (talk) 21:39, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

It is done since a while! --Cephas (talk) 10:44, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Salut Cephas

Hi Cephas, profitant du fait que nous sommes en été j'aimerais que vous me recommandiez des lieux pour photographier à Québec. Mais... Je n'ai pas de voiture et je m'intéresse à la photographie animalière. Merci bcp --Wilfredor (talk) 17:24, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Your excellent maps

Hi, I was looking at your range maps, and they are very good! I noticed that most bird pages do not have range maps so I'm thinking of making some maps myself, but I like your style the best. I can find the source of the data at the IUCN pages, but I don't know how you transferred them to the maps available on wikicommons. Would you be willing to point me in the direction of how to make these makes so I can get started on the birds with missing range maps? Thanks! Mattximus (talk) 23:01, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Another map update, please!

Hi Cephas - with the new split (effective today) of Numenius hudsonicus from Numenius phaeopus, the map File:Numenius phaeopus map.svg needs dividing into two maps, please: an edited File:Numenius phaeopus map.svg (Old World including Iceland & eastern Greenland; remove the Americas), and a new map File:Numenius hudsonicus map.svg (Americas only). Thanks! - MPF (talk) 16:00, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

@MPF: Done. I named File:Numenius phaeopus map old world.svg the new Numenius phaeopus map. --Cephas (talk) 16:40, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, though should have just uploaded the new version on top of the old one (or rename the old one something like File:Numenius hudsonicus and Numenius phaeopus map.svg to reflect its updated circumscription); now all uses of the old out-of-date map will need to be changed (tedious, as it is on so many pages!). I'll also think of a better name for the new N. phaeopus map (as your name suggests it might be an incomplete map, rather than a complete map of the updated circumscription). - MPF (talk) 17:08, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

I've renamed it File:Numenius phaeopus distribution map.svg - MPF (talk) 17:10, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

South Sudan border

Hello.

Can you add the border of South Sudan which became independent in 2011 in File:Tragelaphus buxtoni map.svg, File:Tragelaphus phaleratus map.svg, File:Tragelaphus scriptus map.svg and File:Tragelaphus angasii distribution.svg?

Yours sincerely, Maphobbyist (talk) 15:46, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the updates in the two maps! Can you also add the border of South Sudan in File:Tragelaphus buxtoni map.svg (the border is still pale) and File:Tragelaphus angasii distribution.svg (where it is missing)? That is all. Please don't think I am making a fuss. I am adding the borders of South Sudan in current PNG maps where it is missing. Unfortunately I don't know how to edit SVG maps myself and also sophisticated PNG maps like orthographical maps and maps with topographical features, that is why I asked you.

Yours sincerely, Maphobbyist (talk) 14:36, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the rest of the maps! Maphobbyist (talk) 16:23, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

File:Eriocnemis nigrivestis map.svg

Bonjour, Je voudrais vous signaler que depuis neuf ans personne n'a remarqué que votre dessin de l'Équateur contient une erreur grossière : L'archipel des Galapagos, tel que vous l'avez représenté, est à l'envers, c'est-à-dire... la tête en bas ! Par ailleurs, l'image me semble disproportionnée du fait d'avoir voulu situer l'Équateur par rapport à l'Amérique du Sud. Le dessin de l'Équateur seul avec son archipel eût été largement suffisant.--Tyerabla (talk) 21:01, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
