Updating Holy Roman Empire maps[edit]

HRE 1400

Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire

Requests: As fantastic as the https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HRR_1400.png map is, is there any way to add some additional details to it? Within the Luxemburg, Wettin, and Habsburg lands, there are no internal borders between the different adjacent territories. As an example, I refer you to the https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/HRR_1789_EN.png where there are light gray borders between the Habsburg lands of Bohemia, Moravia, Syria, etc. I think this would help give a little additional detail. Additionally, this could help add some extra detail in a couple of other regions - I don't see the Bishopric of Verden within the Bishopric of Bremen; internal borders within Brunswik-Luneberg to clearly define the border with Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel as well as including the Principality of Luneberg (capital at Celle), and Principality of Grubenhagen; and also adding borders between the Bavarian divisions and Mecklenberg lands. You could even show some of the internal border regions in Savoy and Milan as those regions are large enough to show the detail. I would also like to see this detail inside Bohemia and Moravia and Selisia - beside just showing the borders between these two lands as I mentioned above, I would love to see some of the duchies and counties that existed in these lands as I can't ever find any maps that show this detail (maybe a good idea for a separate map as well). Additionally, in the countries that border the Holy Roman Empire, I like that they are just one color to differentiate the Holy Roman Empire but I would still like to see some gray borders in those countries of the duchies and counties around the Holy Roman Empire. I just love to see all that detail when I am reading articles to see what regions are next to what. Also, it would be nice if the menus could be updated to English but there is something I like about the entities being in German as it is their actual names. Maybe there is room to add a translation menu which at least explains the titles, ex. Gft. = County, Hzm. = Duchy, etc.). I also had one question about the Duchy of Teck (under the Margrave of Burgau). I have only ever been able to find this Duchy located on one map (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/shepherd/german2_shepherd.jpg) and they show it next to Ulm. I know there were two creations of the Duchy of Teck so not sure if this is where it was in 1400 and then there was a later Duchy of Teck by Ulm - just wanted to check for clarity.

As for the https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/HRR_1789_EN.png map, I would love to see it have the same resolution as the https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HRR_1400.png map. There is a lot of detail on this map but at a greater resolution, you could add just a bit more. I would also like to see some of the internal borders in the Habsburg lands shown in the Electorate of Brandenburg and Electorate of Saxony, Electorate of Hanover, Austrian Netherlands, etc. And, any borders within France, Poland and Hungary would be great.

This has to be one of the best maps on Wiki of the early Holy Roman Empire from the year 1000: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/Droysens-22-23.jpg. What are the chances this would be updated to a modern map like the above at the same resolution as the https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HRR_1400.png map and put in English? This map has so much detail that it would be a fantastic reference.

This is a great map of the Holy Roman Empire in 1689 (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Holy_Roman_Empire_1648.svg) but it needs to be updated to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HRR_1400.png level of resolution and detail.

Additionally, between this map from 1000 and the map from 1400, there are no other highly detailed maps of the Holy Roman Empire. I would love to see one from the 1200s to start off with at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HRR_1400.png resolution and level of detail which would give wiki a detailed map of the HRE every 200 years and then could eventually work on filling in the gaps to have one of the HRE every 100 years, e.g. 1296 when Duchy of Saxony is dissolved.

As for territories, I have found a couple of other maps I love to reference that I think would be great to update (obviously this is a long-running project): Duchy of Wurtemberg (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/shepherd/german2_shepherd.jpg). I think this map would be great to update as is but I would also like to see another map of just the growth of the Duchy of Wurtemberg up til 1789 as this map really shows the acquisition at the time of the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in the early 1800s but does not show how they acquired their main territories; Duchy of Baden (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/shepherd/german1_shepherd.jpg). I know there are some later ones that show the 1800s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Baden#/media/File:Map_of_Baden_%281819-1945%29.png) but they do not have this detail. And again, it would be great to see an additional map with just the acquisitions up to 1771; Duchy of Bavaria (http://www.uni-regensburg.de/Fakultaeten/phil_Fak_III/Geschichte/1350g.jpg) this is a great map and I can't find anything like it on wiki. Bavaria is a great dynamic territory that should have some additional detailed maps from additional years; Electorate of Saxony: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electorate_of_Saxony#/media/File:Saxony_%28Division_of_Leipzig%29_-_NL.png and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electorate_of_Saxony#/media/File:Saxony_after_the_Capitulation_of_Wittenberg_%281547%29_-_NL.png need to be in English and the Ernestine branch of the Wettin dynasty maps (example as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxe-Weimar#/media/File:SajoniaWeimar.jpg) should be updated and need one that includes all of the territories over several periods to show all of the divisions.

Scale is messed up[edit]

Map of Antarctica
Derivative map 1
Derivative map 2
Derivative map 3
Derivative map 4

Article(s): Lots of articles in multiple Wikipedias

Request: "Map of Antarctica" originally had an accurate scale. However, in an edit of 19:58, 26 March 2008, someone switched the captions, making it depict 1000 miles as a distance much shorter than 1000 kilometres. Could you restore the original caption? It's not a matter of simple reversion, as someone's uploaded a revised version with various fixes (but still the broken scale) since then. The other four maps are derived from it, and all of them include the broken caption. --Nyttend (talk) 16:06, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

File:Antarctic fr.svg still needs to be fixed. Delphi234 (talk) 05:42, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Best guess is the error is generated because the base64 data is not properly defined i.e. for JPEG should be "data:image/jpeg;base64" and PNG should be "data:image/png;base64". There are 12 embedded images in the file, all 12 appear to be the same file, a JPEG. So if you correct these 12 with the correct JPEG identifier I listed above I believe it'll get you fixed up.

Request

Replace the topography detail of the existing relief map (2nd file), with that of the more accurate and detailed NASA map (3rd file). (recolouring will be needed)
Sharpen the provincial and district borders with those as shown on ~~files 4 and 5~~ file 6. These two files are samples only, and are to be deleted.
Fix borders on the relief map (top area - 2nd file).
Make provincial borders thicker than district borders.
Remove the two rivers and reservoirs from the first two maps (see also), and

If needed, you may visit this page to test the accuracy of the country's borders. The placemark's coordinates are very accurate (taken from Google Earth), and shows the extreme ends of the country. Thanks! Reh man 05:33, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Sri Lanka adm location map.svg and Sri Lanka rel location map.svg are available now. NNW 21:20, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, NNW! Looks great! Just a few changes, would you be able to remove all the rivers and waterbodies from both new maps, and make the 2nd level (district) borders more lighter (lighter grey)? And instead of just trashing the river details which I just mentioned, would you be able to upload it to a completely new svg file using the topographic background, and including only rivers and 1st level/province borders, but no waterbodies. This will be very useful for the river articles which I am currently working on. Thank you so much for your help. Cheers, Reh man 01:30, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Deleting all lakes? Some rivers flow through lakes. Sri Lanka adm location map.svg and Sri Lanka rel location map.svg are showing only 1st level borders now, Sri Lanka adm-2 location map.svg and Sri Lanka rel-2 location map.svg 2nd level borders, too, with these borders with a thiner line. All these maps are part of a set of maps which all have to look the same. I can upload further files but they won't have file names related to location maps but you can use them as alternative maps for the template maps. NNW 16:58, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

@NNW: Sorry for the late reply. Please ignore my previous comment. Instead, would you be able to replace File:Sri Lanka location map.svg with File:Sri Lanka adm-2 location map.svg, but removing all the rivers while retaining the water bodies? This is because the current default map:

does not have the waterbodies marked properly
has no distinction between provinces and district borders
and has less sharper borders when compared to the map you created.

Removal of rivers is because:

the current map doesn't have rivers
not all rivers are mapped
having rivers will confuse viewers for borders, and looks too cluttered as well.

Similarly, the same applies to the relief maps (File:Sri Lanka relief location map.jpg and File:Sri Lanka rel location map.svg), but to add district borders as well. Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you, Reh man 14:00, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Texan age of consent[edit]

Age of consent map of the United States

Article(s): The file is used on a few articles on the English Wikipedia.

Request: The state of Texas needs to be filled in in some way. I believe it should be brown (=17) but a double check of the law is probably needed. --Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:58, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Jo-Jo Eumerus We do graphic work here not reseach, if you think it should be checked please perform the check or take help from another place. Hope you understand, because we do not have knowledge about most of the subjects we make graphic work about, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:10, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

I'll ask for a clear input on this. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:47, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Map labels from Norwegian to English[edit]

Map showing the Bronze Age collapse (conflicts and movements of people)

Article(s): en:Late_Bronze_Age_collapse

Request: It would be nice to have the labels for this map translated to English. They seem pretty simple, but it may be a challenge to alter the existing map, so making a replacement might be better. --JesseW (talk) 16:17, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Sri Lankan province and district location maps[edit]

Article(s): Numerous Sri Lankan articles

Request: Currently only two of the nine provinces and one of the twenty five districts have location maps. It would be great if the remainder also had location maps. I appreciate this is a big ask but anything would be appreciated.--Obi2canibe (talk) 12:24, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Non-graphist comment: The same outcome is requested in part of the #Location maps of Sri Lanka section above. Reh man 13:10, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

That request relates to island wide maps - my request is for province/district specific maps.--Obi2canibe (talk) 13:14, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Change Mexico colour in a map[edit]

Article(s): w:es:Cadena perpetua, w:en:Life_imprisonment#World_view

Request: Someone has asked me to correct the map, but I don't have the software needed. Mexico unabolished the life imprisonment, so Mexico has to be in reddish colour instead of blue (ref 1, ref 2). I'd like to request the modification. Thanks a lot! :) --Aleator (talk) 12:57, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
