NormanEinstein, could you please use your "Fertile_Crescent_blank_base_map" to make a modern-day middle east outline showing current countries, to match the fertile crescent map you've previously published? Thanks!

Maui Bus Route Map edit

  Stale
 – DyceBot (talk) 07:00, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Maui Bus

Request: I did this poor transit route map for Maui Bus. The differences between the one produced by the county and the one by me was that I tried to at least follow the actual route on some of them literally (namely the Lahaina Villager (where I almost followed it's route in a general sense....for lack of better words) and Lahaina Islander routes (took a much different angle versus the original), and took a different liberty with two routes (Wailuku Loop and Kahului Route) versus the County map (Oriented both routes to be in the general areas, so to speak vs. the poor geographical side-by-side of the county map). I'm just wondering if the map could be improved upon to make it look more professional. I'm thinking, from an aeriel POV, the routes are color coded and follow it's routes near exactly. or if the map is inferior and another method would be much more feasible? 293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 02:43, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Don't hate me, but there are 133 elections data images similar to the three examples above in this category. They're all .png, and I think they should probably be .svg...but I don't have the skill to re-draw them as .svgs. Can any of you? (Alternatively, if I'm an idiot and they really would be better staying as .png files, feel free to tell me so openly, and in those exact words if it amuses you). ♠PMC♠ (talk) 08:00, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Create a new image, File:Administrative regions of Myanmar.svg or the equivalent, based on File:Myanmar location map.svg. All of the first-level administrative divisions should be shaded in with a color to indicate whether it is a "Region" or a "State".

Jameson's mamba Distribution map edit

    A map to use to make the map of the Jameson's mamba's distribution

Article(s): Jameson's mamba

Request: The Jameson's mamba article needs a map of its geographical distribution in Africa. The species is mostly found in Central Africa (you can go here to see a map of it's distribution in Africa). However, I'd like you to go a bit further north into Sudan (stop just a little north of South Sudan). Also, I would like you to include the far eastern part of Zambia, so just spread Angola's eastern spread a little further east into Zambia, please. Basically, the species can be found all the way from northern Angola eastwards towards Zambia, north to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Burundi, South Sudan, Sudan, Central African Republic, Cameroon, Gabon, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria, and Equatorial Guinea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sebastian80 (talk • contribs)

Map translation: Battle of Bautzen (1945) edit

  Resolved
 – -- Orionist ★ talk

Article(s): Battle of Bautzen (1945)

Request: Milhist A-class reviewers suggested getting those maps translated. I hope it will be doable; ping me for translation when somebody is willing to work on that. PS. The request is less scary than the maps appear; placenames are fine, only milunit names and legend would need switchover. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 23:38, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Since these are PNG files it might be a good idea to try and contact the creator of these images, who seems to be an active user on Commons and wp:pl. If the creator won't do the request for any reason, let me know and I'll pick up the request. Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 15:04, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The creator is no longer very active, and I am afraid it may be health issues. If you could try to help, it would be appreciated! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 16:25, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Alright then. I just need the translation from you so I could start working on them. Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 19:56, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Legend:
  • Operacja Berlinska - Berlin Operation
  • Etap -> Phase
  • polozenie wojsk polskich -> position of Polish forces
  • ... niemieckich -> German
  • ... radzieckich -> Soviet
  • kierunki natarcia wojsk polskich -> Polish forces offensive direction
  • ...Soviet...
  • Map
  • Front Bialoruski -> Belorussian Front
  • Front Ukrainski -> Ukrainian Front
  • 1A, 2A -> 1st Army, 2nd Army
  • add English name to two rivers (add, not replace, if possible): 1) Odra -> Oder, 2) Nysa Luzycka ->Lusatian Neisse
  • Legend:
  • Walki pod Budziszynem: Battle of Bautzen (Budziszyn)
  • poloxrnie jednostek 2 A WP po... -> location of 2nd Polish Army units after [date]
  • sowieckich... -> Soviet units...
  • niemieckich... -> German units...
  • kierunki natarcia jednostek n. -> German units offensive direction
  • Map
  • river: change szprewa to Spree
  • military abbreviations:
  • pp -> infantry regiment, so Inf Reg
  • DP -> Inf Div
  • AWP -> Polish Army
  • AGw -> guard army, so Gd Army
  • DSGw -> Guard Rifle Div,so Gd Rif Div

I'm on it (sorry for the delay!) -- Orionist ★ talk 07:42, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of issues before I upload the files:
  • Two things were missing from translation: A --> I translated as Army, KPanc --> I translated as Armd Corps. Are they correct?
  • I changed "Berlin Operation" to "Battle of Berlin", which I think is more accurate.
  • To be in correct chronological order, shouldn't the "a" and "b" in the file names of the Bautzen maps be the other way round?
Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 06:54, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, yes, and it would seem so - weird, how about we use dates in the title instead of a/b for full clarification? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 17:24, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  Done. I kept the a-b designation (in correct order) to help people note that this is a 2-part map. I also noticed that the Battle of Berlin map has a second part: File:Operacja berlin 2 1945.png, so, in super-market style I'll give you a buy-three-get-one-free offer and do an English version of that last map if you provide the translation. Cheers! -- Orionist ★ talk 18:15, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sure, I am glad to help. New phrases:
    • Legend:
      • Niemieckie wysilki... -> German attempts to relieve Berlin (April - May 1945)
        • kierunki odwrotu -> retreat direction
    • Zgrupowanie Pancerne... -> Panzer Group of the Army Group Centre of gen. Schorner
    • Grupa Armijna... -> Army Group of gen. Steiner

I hope I didn't miss anything. And as long as we are making Berlin maps, would you be interested in this relatively simple map of German defenses? [1] ? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 20:28, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request: I was hoping someone could use the map above to label Vlorë, Otranto, Brindisi, and Sazan all of which are mentioned in the article.

Mongol Empire map edit

  Resolved

  •  
    Extent of the Mongol Empire as of 1259.

Article(s): Mongol Empire, Kublai Khan, Golden Horde, others

Request: Please clean this up. It dosen't have to be an SVG if that's not convienant, but I'd like for it to be a higher quality than it is. Sven Manguard Wha? 16:48, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Yes, I know it's on Commons, and no, I don't want to make the request there, I'd prefer someone here handle it.

Graphist opinion(s): {Keithpickering (talk)}: Given the very large longitude span of the empire, I'm thinking a cylindrical projection would be better than orthographic. Most of the interesting detail is at the edges, and that gets pretty badly distorted with orthographics. Also I'd like to draw the empire and non-empire areas in different shades of gray, with pink (instead of the awful red) for the tributary states.

This is a major improvement. If it's not too difficult, could we remove the five labels (Persia, Russia, etc.) please? Sven Manguard Wha? 23:24, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
