Attributing a Source Map

Article(s): United States Climate Alliance
Request: I am trying to update the map for the United States Climate Alliance which seriously needs a new version with all the states correctly highlighted with better colors as well. I already have a new SVG file for it, (no need to make a new map on your end) but I have a question:

My version derives from another file, so I want to attribute to it on the "File usage on commons" section below. How does that work?

Hi @BrakeCoach, It does not work that way. Usage on commons refers to files that are used in infoboxes, galleries and such. Commons is not Wikipedia, so I won't edit those. The flag is an example of usage on Commons.

You can use the description of your file to honour the original file/user. Enter it while uploading, or edit the Summary on Commons, once you've uploaded it. The blue warning sign sums up the other signs in a coloured series. You might click edit of said paragraph and see how this particular example is coded.

PS: can you please sign your replies and entries with four ~ tildes? They leave your name and timestamp. Groetjes, Peter (talk) 10:48, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know, I am pretty new with everything, so I didn't know where to ask, I think I have asked the question in 2ish different places here. I realized that I just had to ask to gain edit access from wikimedia commons.

BrakeCoach (talk) 04:41, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Welcome! We all started some time. I've been back since this summer and there's a lot to take in. Have fun editing!

Okinawa Island (not prefecture) location map

Completed relief (with bathymetry)

Article(s): Shō Taikyū
Request: Howdy. I'm looking for a map of Okinawa Island itself that will work with Template:Location map. Currently, it seems like only a map of the Ryukyu Islands and the Okinawa Prefecture exist with it, which are much too big for what I'm looking for. This would be useful to mark the locations of individual gusuku and other cultural heritage sites. -- Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 17:04, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
Discussion: I might be able to do this @Generalissima -- do you want a topographical relief map or a location map (or both?) – Isochrone (talk) 21:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

@Isochrone: A location map is what I was imagining, though if you wanted to make a better topo map that'd be really great. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 21:24, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

@Generalissima

Done, please see Module:Location map/data/Japan Okinawa Island for instructions on usage (the infobox pushpin map name is "Japan Okinawa Island" I think) – Isochrone (talk) 15:29, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much! Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 17:42, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Article(s): Draft:Rhea letter
Request: If we have the technology, could someone please color in section V with the color of your choice, just to make it "pop" a little as people scrutinize/scroll the article. Please and thanks. -- jengod (talk) 23:10, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

NEVER MIND! Apparently this already exists thanks to the good offices of a graphic artist on es-wiki. {{resolved}} and TY!

Request: World map for for Information privacy law (80+ countries)

Article(s): Information privacy law
Request: 80+ countries have an Information privacy law. I went to the article because I needed to see where in the world these are. Unfortunately there is no such map on the article. The paper cited in the article is from 2012 so I hope a better source can be found, but even a 2012 data map would be better than no map. Thanks a lot! -- Syced (talk) 02:35, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

@Syced Why only ask a question and not provide the latest data?

A quick search shows 2023 as the latest of 8 reports by the same author. 2024 seems not available.

Would you be ok with a map like this one, if we'd leave out the states in CAN, USA, MEX, AUS, ...?

Article(s): Leagues Cup
Request: The article Leagues Cup, a soccer tournament in North America, has a section on its format. I need help with displaying the locations of the teams from each organization into one single labeled map of all teams from Mexico (Liga MX teams shown at bottom), Canada, and the US (both countries' MLS teams shown at top). This format would have MLS team location dots in blue and Liga MX teams in green. This map doesn't have to have individual states shaded (as the one in MLS). I am hoping that an editor may help me with creating one, or if possible, may please create one for me. Here are the maps in question that are to be used for reference:

Would a map like on this page 2024–25 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup be good? Viewers can [ ] enlarge the map to fullscreen mode and zoom in, show nearby articles.

Groetjes, Peter (talk) 08:59, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Test 1: Using template MLS labeled map and location map Mexico.
Results:

MLS is not in needed map coords: lookup coords stadiums in format 49.276667|-123.111944|Vancouver Whitecaps FC
MEX map example is not in stadium, zoom in to see difference, lookup coords stadiums too.
The old maps don't use any logo of the clubs. I'd suggest adding them to the labels: click on pins to see them. Click enlarge map to zoom/pan/check all the details. Reload to refresh map. San Jose = big logo 200px, the rest in 50px version.

Any ideas about what should be included in the descriptions?

**Leagues Cup Teams**
  Western Conference
  Eastern Conference
  Liga MX

Test 2: Hi @𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝, did you see the maps? Any thoughts?

A bot removed a lot of the logos from the map.

We'll need to test whether they can be displayed through a template, if that counts as displaying the images on an article, which is allowed. This page doesn't count as an article... Groetjes, Peter (talk) 09:01, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello Groetjes, Peter, thank you for approaching my proposal. My apologies for not swiftly responding to your feedback. I have seen the map and at a glance, is very reminiscent of what I’m looking for. The map includes the needed coordinates without being cluttered with the individual team names. I appreciate your dedication. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 02:15, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Map of Sheetz and Wawa store locations in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania

Article(s): Sheetz–Wawa rivalry
Request: I'd like to have a map showing all Sheetz and Wawa locations in Pennsylvania. The New York Times made one some time ago and I found a fairly recent ArcGIS web map with data points but don't know how to turn it into the Wikipedia map style. Dan Leonard (talk • contribs) 05:35, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Dan Leonard, I'm not familiar with ArcGIS data, but if you can copy the data tables, and select the Pennsylvanian nodes, you can convert them to a map like this one to the right. Click on edit source to see the code.

Type, coord, title, description, marker and marker-color all have the same unique number per row.

In this example, row3 defines a line around Pennsylvania (id3 = Wiki data id Q1400)

If a quick selection isn't possible, you can always trim the dataset down by coords (Pennsylvania is pretty square).

Groetjes, Peter (talk) 09:59, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

I've seen the map you've made on Sheetz–Wawa rivalry. It does a good job at showing which stores are dominant in what area. Can we call this

Done? Groetjes, Peter (talk) 10:38, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, seems to be working. Thanks for the advice. Dan Leonard (talk • contribs) 16:46, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Request: Map of The laws in Wales Acts along the Wales-England

I have been recommended to do this I am hoping you can help make a SVG map based on these images:

 
{{multiple image
 | width = 100
 | image1 = Wales-England border 1539898.png
 | caption1= 1535{{efn|Flint, Maelor Saesneg and Hawarden are administered by Cheshire}} 

{{legend|red|[[Principality of Wales]]}}{{legend|blue|[[England]]}}{{legend|cyan|[[Earl of Chester|Earldom of Chester]]}}{{efn|a power in England which was akin to a separate country, with its own legal system and courts, and an almost independent government}} 
{{legend|orange|Tudor [[marcher lordships]]}}{{legend|green|Other Marcher lordships}}
 | image2 = Wales-England border yighujkk.png
 | caption2 = 1536
{{legend|red|[[Wales]]}}{{legend|blue|[[England]]}}
}}

The images in Question were mainly based off sources such as

Rees maps
Historic county trust
RCAHMW[Commotes and Cantrefs ect]

If you want to know more about sources used, please ask. Lastly, im fairly sure the asthetic sould look professional in a way sombody like me could not recreate to meet the standards of some people anyway im sure you guys know what you're doing when it comes to this.
