The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps. This specific page is the requests page for the Map workshop. Anyone can make a request for a map to be created or improved for a Wikipedia article. The standard format for making a request is shown below, along with general advice, and should be followed.
You are encouraged to share information and request advice from others. Also see possible conventions toolbox, map tutorials and topographic map tutorials.
Advice to requesters
What do we do?
Location maps
Area maps (animals, languages, empires, etc.)
Historical and conflict related maps
Battle maps
Technical maps (archaeology, city closeups, etc.)
Sourced requests: If possible, please try to provide a reliable source to create a map. This includes a map already on Wikipedia with a reliable source or an external link.
Please check: Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed.
Direct collaboration: Some mapmakers are especially interested by one topic area. If you notice a mapmaker fitting your needs, consider asking on their personal talk page to request maps.
{{Reqmap}}: To request a map, you can also tag the talk page of the article in need of a map with or {{Reqmapin|Australia}} (articles then appear in Category:Wikipedia requested maps)
If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.
Advice to Graphists
If you have completed work and not received a reply you may use the {{GL Map reply}} template to inform the requester.
Map makers and other visitors to the Graphics Lab may be interested in the RSS feed of changes to this page. You may find it here.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of people cannot, because modern web browsers removed support for Adobe Flash many years ago now. Remsense留14:57, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Kaiyr I just want you to know I'm working on it but I have also been trying to find a vector map down to tehsils. I have now found a dataset which I'm converting to a usable svg which I can upload as a base map with the three different levels. We can then use that for your request and for future usage. So it will take some more time. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:20, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
.So @Kaiyr I now have a draft for you for the basemap down to tehsils.
----
Those drafts are PNG versions of the original SVG file I'm working in and will upload to commons.
Those drafts are shown for proofreading only.
----
The colors are picked so that they work for most people even with color deficiencies.
@Kaiyr I haven't got any feedback so now I have uploaded the basemap down to tehsils which can be used to create other maps, as I will use it to do your request here now.
@Kaiyr I just want you to know I am working on your request. Your source map and the background map I'm using does not line up, also the tehsils are different in those maps and your source map has even smaller divisions in it. All of this makes it rather complex, difficult and circumstantial to create the svg map. But I have gotten a good bit on it and will continue, thanks for your patience. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 10:53, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In 2019 the Philippines divided its waters into 12 "Fisheries Management areas", covering both its territorial waters and its exclusive economic zone. There are some good maps of the original 12 out there eg. and eg., but not to my knowledge one on Wikipedia. I am not even sure we have an svg of the EEZ, the standard image we use is the png above. One interesting note on that png is it includes the Benham Rise, which was annexed after the creation of the FMAs. Supposedly this area got its own FMA, and while I can't find a map of that or the primary legislatoin it likely should be labelled separately, perhaps as "Philippine Rise". An svg would be best due to this, for easy modification of the label. As for the original 12, the legislation is Fisheries Administrative Order 263 which includes the precise borders of all 12 areas by latitude and longitude. CMD (talk) 09:16, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hoping for a map that shows the location of Greeneville within Greene County, but that also puts Greene County's location in East Tennessee and nearby states (namely Virginia and North Carolina), to be illustrative for people who may be unfamiliar with American geography. Might want to include Knoxville and Parrotsville as well, as other key cities in Dolly's bio. TY! -- jengod (talk) 16:28, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Requesting someone who knows how to do this sort of thing to update the map on List of PDC World Cup of Darts teams, last updated in 2021. The specific changes that are required are for New Zealand, Latvia, Switzerland, France, Malaysia, Guyana, Iceland, Taiwan, Norway, Bahrain and Croatia to be coloured light blue and for Ukraine, Russia, Brazil and Greece to be coloured in orange. This will match with developments over the 2022, 2023 and 2024 tournaments and will match the key on the article. -- OZOO(t)(c)13:48, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is it possible to make the United states striped in the colors for 5 and 9? Both lengths of ZIP codes are commonly used in the US. Some other countries on the map have different length postcodes as well but only for certain regions or special purposes while in the US one can basically choose which one to use. -- 188.23.202.105 (talk) 17:20, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion
The image description page says Maximum possible length of a complete postal code is shown. Seems to me it should remain marked as 9 only. Nyttend (talk) 11:46, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Could you create a map of the Shire of Delatite? It was an amalgamation of Benalla and Mansfield, so I suppose you'd basically just have to take one of these maps, highlight the area marked on the other one, and remove the border. Nyttend (talk) 11:44, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I'm looking for someone to do a free version of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes map - the official one is here. The map would need to label Netherlands and Belgium, maybe showing those countries in a different colour to the bright yellow of France? I would also probably use The Hague rather than the French "La Haye". A good example is below from 2015. As previously, I asked Andrei loas who has previously done excellent maps (e.g. this for the 2015 men's race) if he could create one, but he hasn't got back to me unfortunately.
This is last years map, by the excellent M.Bitton.
