2024 Tour de France Femmes

Article(s): 2024 Tour de France Femmes
Request: 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.

Hello, any possibility of someone doing this? The race starts in under 2 weeks. Turini2 (talk) 20:48, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Hey, the race started today, any possibility of someone creating a 2024 map? Turini2 (talk) 11:03, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Request taken by Groetjes, Peter (talk) 13:23, 11 September 2024 (UTC). Will present a draft, either this evening or tomorrow.

First versions. I added a background beneath the legend and Grand Depart zoom in, so it's readable in dark mode. I think the white background one looks better. Are these ok, or do you have suggestions?

FYI ping Turini2. CMD (talk) 08:13, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Looks great - I think the white version looks better! Maybe removing Corsica would allow the image to be displayed a little larger / tighter Turini2 (talk) 13:25, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

ping @Groetjes, Peter Turini2 (talk) 13:25, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Then we agree ;). I'll check whether I can delete the darker image. Good to see you've already used the white one on the TdFF page. I've added the image to the 2024 TdFF wikidata page. And here's the final tag: {{resolved}} Groetjes, Peter (talk) 13:45, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

National Highways after 2021
National Highways before 2021

Article(s): National Highway System (Nepal)
Request: Can you please remove the topographic background, local roads, river, lake etc from the first map (white background) and also can you make the national highway line thicker, how is shown in second map, please!-- 👤Raju💌 15:49, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Discussion: The "local roads" are not shown in the above map. Did you mean something else? M.Bitton (talk) 10:49, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

I created this map on my mobile, that is not clear. I just want to request you to creat a map like this. Also it will be good if you can remove the rivers and other lines (local roads). Thank you.

SVG locator map of Carpathian Ruthenia in the gray and green globe scheme

Articles: Carpathian Ruthenia; Rusyns
Request: Use this image to create an SVG locator map of Carpathian Ruthenia in the gray and green globe scheme. The map should use modern political borders and it should have an inset on Carpathian Ruthenia, in the same way that this map of Kurdistan uses modern political boundaries and has an inset on Kurdistan. -- Treetoes023 (talk) 15:05, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Distribution map of US states with death row population

Article(s): Capital punishment in the United States; List of death row inmates in the United States; Death row
Request: I am just wondering can somebody make a Map of US states with the death row population. The higher the number the darker the color of the state would be. Here are the numbers.

California:623
Florida:276
Texas:176
Alabama:163
North Carolina:136
Ohio:114
Arizona:111
Pennsylvania:96
Nevada:64
Louisiana:57
Tennessee:45
Mississippi:35
Georgia:34
Oklahoma:34
South Carolina:32
Arkansas:26
Kentucky:25
Nebraska:11
Missouri:10
Idaho:9
Kansas:9
Indiana:8
Utah:5
Montana:2
South Dakota:1
New Hampshire:1
Wyoming:0
Oregon:0

The numbers are from the List of death row inmates in the United States as of July 9.Muaza Husni (talk) 13:25, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

As of September 12.Muaza Husni (talk) 12:18, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

@Muaza Husni: Hi, I've made an attempt and produced two versions. One with the absolute amounts, the second are relative to the 2020 census amount of inhabitants per state.

Numbers are added to make the amounts more visable, and distinguish States with from States without a death row. I started the low figures with enough colour to see the gray and reddish fields apart. And gave the top State a brightness of 0, which means that the colour turns black. This way you can see more variety in the lower figures. Groetjes, Peter (talk) 07:19, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

I see that the font I used wasn't recognised during the upload, which means that the width and placing of the numbers was messed up. So I might either use Arial or Times New Roman; or (easier for me) make paths with the current Bahnschrift, to improve the pictures. But first, i'll wait for some feedback. Groetjes, Peter (talk) 07:28, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

@Groetjes, Peter: Hi, Thanks for making the two versions. They both look good. Maybe I could use both versions on the pages??.Muaza Husni (talk) 17:33, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Of course you can use them both. If you are ok, I'll correct the fonts + placing of the numbers (outline conversion upload-fault) and upload new ones tomorrow. They'll be using the same file name, so you can already put the code in the text. Groetjes, Peter (talk) 22:29, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

@Groetjes, Peter: ok you can do that.Muaza Husni (talk) 12:22, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

@Muaza Husni: Done.

@Groetjes, Peter: Thank You.Muaza Husni (talk) 11:20, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Requesting a correction to this map, which has 23 countries all in the wrong colors.

I found Albania, Macedonia, Turkey, Dominican Republic, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Mongolia, Palau, Portugal, Rwanda, Solomon Islands, Uganda, India, Laos, Armenia, Belgium, Burma, Cambodia, Republic of Cyprus, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and Finland in this map, all have the wrong color.

Article(s): Iraq War, International reactions to the prelude to the Iraq War and Legitimacy of the 2003 invasion of Iraq
Request: Among them, Albania, the Republic of Macedonia, the Dominican Republic, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Mongolia, Palau, Portugal, Rwanda, the Solomon Islands and Uganda actually supported the Iraq War in 2003. I suggest Change the color displayed on the map of all the 11 countries that supported the Iraq War in 2003 to yellow like Romania, Japan and South Korea.

Belgium, Turkey, India, Sweden and Finland were completely neutral during the 2003 Iraq War. I suggest changing the colors of these five wartime neutral countries during the Iraq War to gray like Kazakhstan, Thailand and Peru. .

In addition, Laos, Burma, Cambodia, the Republic of Cyprus, Armenia, New Zealand and Norway completely opposed the 2003 Iraq War. I suggest changing these seven countries that opposed the Iraq War to the same blue as Canada, France, Belarus and Russia. Other contents remain unchanged, thanks. -- 反共抗獨光復民國 (talk) 06:14, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
