Just change the highlight

Resolved

Map meant to highlight Washtucna, Washington
Map titled "...Washtucna..."
Map modified to show Washtucna, but mistitled "...Washcoma..."

Article(s): Washtucna, Washington

Request: This image seemingly was a duplicate of File:Adams County Washington Incorporated and Unincorporated areas Ritzville Highlighted.svg, which is a mistake, because the towns aren't even close to each other. If you can download it, please un-highlight Ritzville and instead highlight Washtucna; it's the town (the grey spot) in the southeastern corner of the county. If you can't download it, please download File:Adams County Washington Incorporated and Unincorporated areas Ritzville Highlighted.svg and do the same, and then upload the result here. If you find this confusing, see File:WAMap-doton-Washtucna.png for the town's location. Nyttend (talk) 23:26, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Done, maybe. The image you posted is not a duplicate of the Ritzville one, it is the Ritzville one.

I mistyped "Washtucna" as "Washcoma" in the name of the uploaded file. I shall try to get this corrected. Maproom (talk) 09:50, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

I can't upload the file with the correct "Washtucna" name, because such a file already exists (and is unusable, because it contains invalid SVG). And I can't replace the current invalid "Washtucna" file, when I try I get the message "Please modify the file description below and try again", but there is no "description" field to modify. Well, you did say it might be confusing. Maproom (talk) 10:09, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Given your commment of 10:09, it looks like the accidental "Washcoma" upload was the best choice: you got it online, when the correct spelling wouldn't have worked at all :-) I'm a Commons admin, so I deleted the corrupt original Washtucna file and moved Washcoma to Washtucna. Looks like all is now correct. Thanks for the help! Nyttend (talk) 12:17, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, Nyttend, for sorting it out! Maproom (talk) 12:45, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
