List of countries that have gained independence from the United Kingdom
Request
Okay, I've noticed a few inaccuracies with the above-left map that should probably be fixed:

1) The flag of the Dominican Republic is incorrectly shown for Dominica (above), a completely different country.

2) Saint Vincent and the Grenadines gained independence in 1979, not 1931.

3) There's no arrows linking the flags of the Maldives, Myanmar and Sudan to their respective countries.

4) The flag of Malta is wrongly shown to be linked to the Balearic Islands, not at Malta itself.

5) Nauru gained independence in 1968, not 1957.

6) The Maldives gained independence in 1965, not 1982.

7) The flags of Tonga and Tuvalu are actually shown pointing to Fiji, and the flag of Fiji itself is linked to Vanuatu (the actual locations of said countries are provided on the above-right map).

8) The flag of Qatar is wrongly shown to be linked to the United Arab Emirates, not at Qatar itself.

9) The flag of Jordan seems to be pointing more at the West Bank than at Jordan itself.

10) The flag of Belize was slightly altered in 2019 (as shown above), so the one on the map should be changed to reflect that.

11) The flag of Mauritius is not pointing at Mauritius at all, but rather at a random spot in the Indian Ocean.

12) Papua New Guinea gained independence from Australia in 1975, not from Britain, hence it should be removed from the map (otherwise the map would have to include all other countries that gained independence from former British holdings, such as Samoa, Bangladesh, Namibia, South Sudan, etc.).

1) Is not that arrow pointing to the wrong island?
This draft is a PNG version of the original SVG file I'm working in and will upload to commons. Draft-1. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:44, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: Thanks for taking this on. And now that you mention it, yes, some of the Caribbean nations flags are indeed pointing to the wrong islands. Hence I've now provided a map displaying the proper locations of the political divisions within the Caribbean above. Thanks for pointing that out. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 12:52, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
Snow Lion Fenian I don't know which countries the different flags are from so I don't know what to check/edit. If you could write names and links to wikipedia articles with flags it would be great, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:52, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
Snow Lion Fenian I need to now if you will provide the needed information, if not I will upload what I have edited and mark this Done? --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:09, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Yes, here's a list of the things that need changing in the Caribbean:
1) The arrow for Antigua and Barbuda is pointing at a random spot in the Caribbean, not at Antigua and Barbuda itself.
2) The arrow for Trinidad and Tobago is pointing north-east of where the actual country is.
3) The arrow for Barbados should be pointing to the easternmost island in the Caribbean.
4) The arrow for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines should be pointing to the island straight to the west of Barbados.
5) The arrow for Saint Lucia should be pointing to the island above Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
6) The arrow for Saint Kitts and Nevis is pointing at a random spot in the Caribbean, not at Saint Kitts and Nevis itself.
7) The arrow for Grenada should be pointing to the island located to the northwest of Trinidad and Tobago and southwest of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
8) The arrow for Dominica is pointing at a random spot in the Caribbean, not at Dominica itself.
Hope it helps. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 07:38, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
Snow Lion Fenian Thanks, perfect info. Here is draft of that area for you to check. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:00, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: Thanks for that! Most of them appear to be in order, great work. Although I notice that the arrow for Jamaica isn't pointing at the actual island of Jamaica? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 08:54, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Snow Lion Fenian Jamaica fixed. New version uploaded. If you are happy with this please put the code {{tl|resolved|1=~~~~}} on this request so it can be archived, thanks.   Done --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:44, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Kaštel Stari Yes I would need a better image. Also how do you want the map to look, similar to your source or what? Could you also send me a link for its location on OSM, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:13, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en, here's the OSM link. Hopefully helpful. — Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 18:48, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en Here is the link for better image (Better image). Also Could you make two maps one with the better image of the old map and secound with location from OSM. Kaštel Stari (talk) 18:58, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
@Kaštel Stari do you want me to upload the map you linked to Wikimedia? It will greatly help projects. — Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 19:00, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
@Berrely Yes, that would be great! Kaštel Stari (talk) 19:16, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
Done :D — Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 19:18, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
Berrely Could you please link to that better image at commons, thanks.
Kaštel Stari For that second map you have to be more specific of how it should look like, and if it includes an area of the city you have to show me which area on a screen print or similar. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:30, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en Well the second map should only include the area of the park, in most cases the park borders are streets, so don't border with the city, just the park. And here is better image at commons link https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0d/Zornbergova-karta-max.jpg/1200px-Zornbergova-karta-max.jpg Kaštel Stari (talk) 15:40, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Kaštel Stari But often you want some kind of context to better understand what you see, but we will take that when we get there. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:13, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en Ok, great! Kaštel Stari (talk) 17:35, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
Kaštel Stari I have questions, look at this image.
What is;
1 Those light paths like things?
2 Those brown areas?
3 The light green like open areas, grass with out trees or what?
4 Darker green small areas, bushes or what?
5 Is this trees following a road on both sides, I don't know the English word for it, maybe avenue? --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 19:10, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en So:
1. That are small clean areas only whith grass.
2. I belive just different type of trees.
3. Yes, open spaces like small meadows or fields.
4. Yes, bushes or single tree.
5. Yes that right that is avenue or allee. Trees are on both sides.

Kaštel Stari Those drafts are PNG versions of the original SVG file I'm working in and will upload to commons. There are so many details I'm not sure that I see them any more so check everything and give me feedback, thanks.
Goran tek-en Thanks for sending drafts. As I know see it evreything is good and correct! With naming things everything is in german, so i think you will probably need my help? Kaštel Stari (talk) 21:41, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Kaštel Stari Yes, you have to provide me with what texts you want in the map and where to put them So please write it here, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 10:52, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Goran tek-en Yes, I would like a map of how it looks today. Kaštel Stari (talk) 14:06, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Kaštel Stari Do you know of any reference points from 1846 and today which are the same? It's very hard to position the today map correct. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:56, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Kaštel Stari Never mind I think I found them. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:12, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en No, these two maps are separate. Just make today map and don’t bother with reference points. Kaštel Stari (talk) 17:25, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Kaštel Stari Yes I know bot don't you think that it would be nice to be able to compare them at some time? --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:29, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en Well, yes sure! You can then make one map where it is side by side with one from 1846, and the secound one which is alone? Kaštel Stari (talk) 19:53, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

List of largest empires
Request
Hello! This map has been used at List of largest empires until Kimand299 noted that The mongol empire never went that far into eastern europe even at its greatest extent and removed it. I think that this would be fixed if the map used the European border from this version of the Mongol Empire map instead of this version, but I'm not entirely sure so Kimand299 may have to correct me on that. We also noted that it's rather difficult to tell that Hong Kong was part of the British Empire without zooming in quite closely, which I'm not sure how best to solve (it is rather a small territory, so maybe it's okay that zooming in to see it is necessary?). There may be other issues that Kimand299 have noticed—I'll let them elaborate on that if that's the case.

The map will be used in the articles listed above to show the locations of the Auckland teams (as well as for future seasons).

The thing with the London map is that it was made almost entirely using the free to use Ordnance Survey data. I'm sure there is a similar resource for Auckland, but I'm not sure if I can find something for the urban areas. — Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 17:10, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

@Kezyfooty sorry for getting back a bit late; do you have a specific boundary in Auckland you would like to highlight? I personally have no experience with how electoral divisions in New Zealand work and don't know what you want to be highlighted. — Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 20:51, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi Berrely, no worries. I would be looking to have the Auckland Region being the highlighted region/area of the map. In terms of the divisions, I would be looking to have the wards of Auckland Council as shown by the image above. Cheers -- Kezyfooty (talk) 00:57, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
