Hi Jedi, I was wondering where you got the information that Nuevo Laredo legalized same sex marriage without an amparo. Also, if you haven't heard, Tlaxcala has passed legalization for same sex marriage!
Thanks, Zappycat
Hi, There was an article circulating a while back, early 2017, claiming that three municipalities in Tamaulipas had legalized same-sex marriage. This is the one: https://elmanana.com.mx/noticia/128462/Esperan-resolucion-57-parejas-para-casarse.html. I created the map as a result, but I later discovered that the article was wrong. Jedi Friend (talk) 16:07, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi, Jedi Friend. Can you tell me what the effective date is of the info given by this file? If it's there, I'm not seeing it. Thanks! --Auntof6 (talk) 01:57, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

updated SSM map
[edit]Hi Jedi,
A couple questions on your edits -
- if Costa Rica is gold, shouldn't Panama be as well?
- why has the recognition color been removed from Estonia?
- should Cambodia be striped, since only occurs in a small minority of communes?
- not sure what we should do w NCyprus.
Also, the width of the striping in Greece & Chile does not match the other countries. Kwamikagami (talk) 22:23, 10 June 2018 (UTC) PS. Which program did you use to edit the SVG file? It doesn't look like you did it thru text, but Inkscape doesn't handle striping well.
- Hi Kwamikagami
- Yes, sorry, my mistake! I'll go and change Panama, Estonia and Cambodia. EU legislation does not apply to Northern Cyprus, so it should be left as it is now. (See Northern Cyprus and the European Union) As for Chile and Greece, yes, I realised the stripping didn't match the other countries, but unfortunately I couldn't find the reason as to why. I was hoping someone would be able to correct it. I use Notepad++ to edit SVG files. Jedi Friend (talk) 10:58, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- Looks like a handy program, but how do you tell one path from another, when none are labeled? Kwamikagami (talk) 04:39, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, it is. When there's no label, I usually just change the colouring of the path and then open the document again to see what changed; in this case, which country changed colour. I then know which country that particular path applies to (and then I can label it). It's a bit silly, I know, but I'm not sure there's any other way. Jedi Friend (talk) 13:03, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
- Not silly, just the best you can do, I suppose. (Instead of opening it, couldn't you leave it open and hit refresh?) Some maps are labeled, but I generated this one with Inkscape. I'd take a look at the striping if you'd labeled those countries, but I probably wouldn't be any help even if I did, and I don't have a lot of time to spend on it. Kwamikagami (talk) 19:37, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
- No worries, I'll be happy to label them. Yeah, refreshing works too. Jedi Friend (talk) 11:12, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for labeling the map. That must've been a pain.
Okay, the border stroke width for both Chile and Greece (also Russia) is ~0.25, whereas most the other countries are either 0.8063 (e.g. Ecuador, Mexico, Croatia, Italy, Estonia) or 0.9567 (e.g. Hungary, Poland, Czechia, Slovenia). I believe that they were drawn at different scales, then Croatia etc. were enlarged about 20%, and Chile etc. about 380% to compensate. That's why the border widths needed to be different, because the borders are enlarged by the same amount. The striping would need to be adjusted by the same ratios to match. Now that I know to look, I can see that the stripes don't line up across the Croatian–Hungarian border, though the 20% difference isn't too noticeable.
Chile and Greece share the following values:
transform="matrix(3.8268456,0,0,3.8268452,-69.123194,-1131.2708)">
whereas Italy, Croatia and Ecuador are all:
transform="matrix(1.1864773,0,0,1.1864771,-38.896804,-45.509184)">
If you swap the values, Chile and Greece are displaced toward the upper left of the map, but are also shrunk to about a third their proper size so that their stripes now match those of the other countries. I suspect our choices are to either remap all the countries at the same scale (which would be fine if we could automate it), or to fudge the map by creating different pattern widths for the 0.25-border countries. (IMO the difference between e.g. Croatia and Hungary isn't enough to bother with.)
The browser tab displays "Netherlands" as the title of the map. Kwamikagami (talk) 20:21, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
Do you speak Polish? I ask because explanation details of meaning Constitution is very hard in Polish and translation it to english make it only harder. Polish constitutionalist argue a lot about art.18

updates to world SSM map
[edit]Hi,
I removed the CU/grey striping from the EU cuz states w CUs already recognize SSM for residency purposes (they just treat them like CUs, which allow for spousal residency). I think there may be one exception -- I forget which country, but in one of them CUs aren't much like marriage -- but the only difference in that case would be to make for more CU rights, which isn't something we bother to distinguish on the map. (One of our sources does -- strong CUs vs weak CUs -- but that's a judgement call and in many cases we don't have enough info to decide for ourselves.)
Anyway, there are some other changes I'd like to ask you for, since I'm not sure how to do them w/o wrecking the coding improvements you've made.
There should be dark-blue rings in Ecuador, Mindanao and maybe a few other places. (Every non-SSM state in Mexico, but that would make the map illegible.)
Slovakia and Hong Kong should probably be striped w light grey, since the recognition in both is so very very limited. You seem to be be good at that.
Kwamikagami (talk) 03:39, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
- Sure, no problem. And thanks for the clarification. Jedi Friend (talk) 08:32, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

This doesn't mean that same-sex marriage has been legalised in the state. The Supreme Court granted an "amparo" (an injunction) to some couples so that they can get married, but not all same-sex couples are covered. Other couples still cannot marry, unless they apply themselves for an amparo. Jedi Friend (talk) 15:58, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Other same-sex marriage maps
[edit]Hey, do you think maps like File:Same-sex marriage map Europe detailed.svg and File:Same-sex marriage map Europe (without bans).svg, and maybe even File:World laws pertaining to homosexual relationships and expression.svg, should also include 'limited recognition' categories instead of 'unregistered cohabitation'? I feel like it should be consistent throughout all of the maps. Let me know what you think. --Buyerseve (talk) 07:12, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- Sure, I don't see why not. Jedi Friend (talk) 10:43, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
- Do you think you could update those maps when you have time? Also what do you think about adding Latvia? It was added by a user not too long ago. I removed it, but someone reverted me seemingly without even reading my description as they just repeated what was said before. Other countries were never added until they either showed evidence of providing residency right, stated to do so or had rulings of their own like Lithuania. I don't see why Latvia is an exception. --Buyerseve (talk) 04:46, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- Of course, no problem. As for Latvia, I don't really know. It's true that it has yet to announce compliance (for all we know), but theoretically there's no way it could ever refuse to adhere to the ruling. Jedi Friend (talk) 16:55, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
SSM map
[edit]Hi Jedi,
You don't seem to have read my reasons for reverting on the talk page. I don't see any evidence in the edit summaries, just unsupported claims. The foreign-rec color you keep changing was settled by consensus on the talk page,, you can change the other maps to match if you like. I like the redefinition of light blue and removing the striping from E.Europe and China, but I was hoping for evidence of the other changes before doing that. I supposed I can fix that now and wait for the rest. Kwamikagami (talk) 21:20, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
World SSM map
[edit]Hey Jedi. Do you think adding a new map might actually make sense? It doesn't seem like the user who uploaded the map is willing to accept certain changes. After looking at the history of the old version of the map it seems like there were other concerns users previously had against his changes, but he dismissed them as the creator of the file. I don't think it makes much sense to continue arguing only to be dismissed. The last version of the map before his new changes - [1] - looks very different and were followed by a long edit-war with multiple users. A new map can feature similar stylistic consistency with other SSM maps and can be called something like "Global Same-sex marriage map"/"Global Same-sex unions map" or "World Same-sex marriage map" or something of such sort. The user is suggesting to do so himself and I'm not sure but I don't think Commons forbids creators from dictating how to edit their files, so he may be right and it might be useful. Let me know what you think. --Buyerseve (talk) 05:49, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hey. Yeah, I agree with you that he'll continue to dismiss the edits. I'm not sure if creating a new map will help though, because he'll probably just dismiss the changes there too. But I'll be happy to create one anyway. The user published the map under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license, which allows anyone to edit, modify or adapt the file, so in no way can he dictate how the file should be edited. If we do create a new map, we'll then have to change every associated Wikipedia article, which I am sure the user will revert at every turn. Jedi Friend (talk) 10:49, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- I've just created File:Global same-sex marriage map.svg. Tell me what you think. Cheers. Jedi Friend (talk) 12:26, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
Yes, create you own map and stop disrupting the existing one. If there's an actual error, please let us know, but edit-warring over color patterns is silly. And, by your argument, foreign recognition should be colored red, as that color is even more distinct. Kwamikagami (talk) 03:18, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
Hey, thanks Jedi. I've made some adjustments to the colours in South America and the background. --Buyerseve (talk) 07:57, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks. That's perfect. We can finally have an accurate map. Jedi Friend (talk) 10:44, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
User issues
[edit]Hey Jedi. Just as you have predicted Kwamikagami continues to revert the map you uploaded in favour of his own. There is a clear consensus on Talk:Same-sex marriage to use your map, so I find it very hard to see how his behaviour is okay by Wikipedia standards. I've reverted per consensus again, and I hope he cooperates, but if he doesn't I'm not sure what to do next. I'm relatively new to Wikipedia, so I really don't know what to do in these situations. Is it possible to report this somewhere? --Buyerseve (talk) 03:22, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- Well he reverted again. I'm honestly shocked by this behaviour. --Buyerseve (talk) 03:30, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jedi. According to the 2019 ILGA map, Liechtenstein has SS adoption but Croatia does not. Should we change our map to match? Kwamikagami (talk) 19:25, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
- I'm very surprised. I checked and it seems you're right, Liechtenstein is listed as having adoption on the map. Though, I must say I'm not convinced. I live quite close to Liechtenstein, and it's the first I hear of it. Jedi Friend (talk) 16:30, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
- According to the official government page on adoption, married couples and single people may adopt. There's no mention of registered partners. It also uses gender-specific language, e.g. "adoptive father" and "adoptive mother".
- As for Croatia, I believe it has a similar institution to stepchild adoptions, known as "parent-guardianship". Though, I'm unclear on the specifics of what that means or if there is a difference. Jedi Friend (talk) 16:35, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
Oaxaca
[edit]Hi Jedi,
Does this and this mean that SSM is generally available in Oaxaca? Please ping if you respond. Kwamikagami (talk) 03:26, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
- Hi, sorry I didn't answer earlier. I see that the issue was resolved on the talk page of the Mexican article. Though, personally, I would have preferred some more sources, considering it's apparently been legal for almost a year, and we've only learnt of it now. Cheers. Jedi Friend (talk) 16:51, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah, I wasn't so sure with just those two, but the additional one at talk seemed to clinch it. I suspect part of the problem might've been distinguishing what "Oaxaca" refers to. It would be a good idea to keep our eyes open, though. Kwamikagami (talk)
BTW, I just put your duplicate world SSM map on my TV screen, and the light blue colors are much more distinct than they are on my laptop or PC monitor -- though still not enough to tell that Israel is striped rather than solid except at full resolution. (The striping shows up for purple+light blue at half res.) And of course the viewing angle isn't as crucial on a TV as on a laptop. So maybe your monitor or settings are more like my TV or TV settings? Kwamikagami (talk) 08:39, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

Hungary and MSM blood donation
[edit]Hungary has lifteme deferral for MSM. See this official deferral table: https://kimittud.atlatszo.hu/request/11200/response/16628/attach/5/V%2520rad%2520sra%2520val%2520alkalmass%2520g%2520felt%2520telei%2520DON%252001%252013.kiad%2520s%25202018.06.01.pe.pdf
The table is clearly indicates that the reason for the permanent deferral is this hungarian law: 3/2005 (3/2005. (II. 10.) EüM rendelet az emberi vér és vérkomponensek gyűjtésére, vizsgálatára, feldolgozására, tárolására és elosztására vonatkozó minőségi és biztonsági előírásokról, valamint ezek egyes technikai követelményeiről): https://net.jogtar.hu/jogszabaly?docid=A0500003.EUM
The cited source for the article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_donation_restrictions_on_men_who_have_sex_with_men is also incorrect for Hungary (and I suspect for other countries too :( ).
The map should be corrected accordingly.

- I've been trying for the last two days to remove the internal borders, but for some strange reason I can't seem to be able to do it. We might have to ask a more experienced editor. Jedi Friend (talk) 09:13, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hello. Thank you for your reply. I also wrote the same request to User:Kwamikagami, who suggested that it is not necessary anymore to work on the UK, because it will be removed from all current EU maps, because it will leave the EU next month. When I requested an edit on the UK in the map, just days before the elections, Brexit was still an uncertainty. Hence, why I wrote to you. I was thinking about Brexit and whether to ask about editing the UK at all on current EU maps. But I wasn't sure until the election results. Now, it looks very likely, that the UK will leave the EU in less than two months. That is why I withdraw my request. 31.200.13.55 20:22, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

- Hi, what are the updates? Are you referring to Bostock? Jedi Friend (talk) 11:11, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Jedi Friend: Late reply. The colors for the map need to be changed as the Bostock ruling confirms anti-employment discrimination pertaining with sexual orientation and gender identity in public employment now. Not only for Ohio, but for the entire country. FunksBrother (talk) 16:08, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- Maybe, rather than changing the colors, we could change the title and description of the map to "prior to Bostock"? I think it could be interesting to show readers what and where were the protections prior to that landmark ruling. Jedi Friend (talk) 08:45, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Jedi Friend: But there's also housing and public accommodation that are addressed in some ordinances in many communities in Ohio. The map can't be frozen in time prior to Bostock as more communities address anti-discrimination in the sphere of housing, medical, and public accommodations.

Thank you so much for your contribution towards the work on LGBT rights around the world. You have really kept all the pages updated. However, could you maybe change the aforesaid file and include India as a country that forbids firing of employees on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity in employment too? When it comes to gender identity, the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights), 2019 forbids discrimination in employment on both public and private sphere. And when it comes to sexual orientation, the Allahabad High Court in it's 2021 judgement ruled that people cannot be fired for their sexual orientation.The High Court said sexual orientation is a private matter of a person and is protected by the right to privacy. I have attached the link for the same. Thank you so much.Addie293 (talk) 16:52, 16 February 2021 (UTC)Addie293

Once again, thank you so much for the work you have done! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adam Hegazy33725 (talk • contribs) 03:30, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
Conversion Therapy Ban Map (India)
[edit]Hey! I hope you are doing fine! Could you please add India to the list of countries where conversion therapy is banned? It just happened today! https://www.reuters.com/world/india/indian-court-calls-sweeping-reforms-respect-lgbt-rights-2021-06-07/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Addie293 (talk • contribs) 17:39, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Work cut out for you
[edit]Hi, Jedi Friend. I've been updating the article w:List of U.S. jurisdictions banning conversion therapy, and assuming that's what you're going off of (and last updated the image May 13 based on), there have been a few updates to the article since then.
1) A ruling by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in late 2020 has overturned bans in Florida, Georgia (none yet exist), and Alabama (none yet exist). Whether you wish to show this on the map (say, with orange) is your call.
2) The following cities/towns have been added since May 13:
- Sun Prairie, Wisconsin
- Columbia, South Carolina
- Bloomington, Minnesota
- Scranton, Pennsylvania
- Royal Oak, Michigan
- Madison Heights, Michigan
- Lawrence, Kansas
I really have no idea how to edit these maps, so I came to you for help, since you seem to be a pro at this sort of thing. TheTechnician27 (talk) 03:57, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
- No problem! I'll go add those cities/towns right away :) I use Notepad++ to edit maps. It's a bit tricky to use at first, but you quickly get the hang of it. Not sure what to do about Florida, maybe ask on the talk page ? Jedi Friend (talk) 15:27, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'll probably ask on the talk page. I used an orange color (#ffb069) in the table to signify these municipalities and counties, so we'll see if people like that. Meanwhile, having done a bit more research, there are a couple small updates if you feel like mapping them. The first is that I added Middletown Township, Bucks County, PA (distinct from Newtown Township, Bucks County), and the second is that I removed Rochester, MN, as what they passed was a resolution opposing the practice, not an actual ban.

For your years-long effort in making sure the map of US states, counties, and municipalities banning conversion therapy stays up-to-date, as well as your numerous similar contributions to other maps. TheTechnician27 (talk) 22:38, 20 June 2021 (UTC) |
File:Birth Certificate Sex Altering Regulations in the United States.svg requires updating
[edit]Could you update the map to reflect Ohio is now allowing gender markers to be changed? Also could you fix the [File:X_Gender_Markers.svg] now that Ohio is issuing X for the gender marker too? 2603:6011:1500:18E9:C81A:301C:C60E:F66C 15:34, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi again
[edit]Hey, Jedi Friend. Since June, the w:list of U.S. jurisdictions banning conversion therapy has expanded out by six municipalities, namely Norman, OK; North Kansas City, MO; Charleston, WV; Ann Arbor, MI; Prairie Village, KS; and Morgantown, WV. I was hoping you could fill these in on the map. If I were you, I wouldn't fill in Minnesota on the map, since the Trevor Project treats it differently too. Hope thing have been going well for you in the months since June. TheTechnician27 (talk) 16:46, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
Request for a map (1993 New Zealand electoral reform referendum)
[edit]Kia ora Jedi Friend, I've just created a page called w:1993 New Zealand electoral reform referendum, about the change to MMP in 1993. I saw you did a map for the w:2020 New Zealand euthanasia referendum. Any chance you could do one for the 1993 referendum too? I would try myself, but I'm lost already. I think you should be able to find an svg map of the 1993 electoral boundaries to start with.
If you would be keen to do this, I would be very grateful. Here are some sources that might be useful.
