Lands of Overmaas

Request

The 3 constituent parts of the Lands of Overmaas have locator maps (see above). Could a single locator map be created for the combined Lands of Overmaas be created please? DeCausa (talk) 01:04, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Discussion

DeCausa this should be possible, are you looking for the entire area to have the same colour (red?), or to reflect say the blue green red currently in the article? CMD (talk) 05:57, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. Well, ideally having the three colours would be great but I assumed that it would be too small to do that with any clarity, in which case just red would be fine. DeCausa (talk) 07:43, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Unfortunately you're right, it's difficult to get clarity. I went with three different reds which might slightly add for someone zooming in, but keeps the overall red impression in normal use. CMD (talk) 08:34, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

@Chipmunkdavis: That's great. Thank you very much! DeCausa (talk) 08:52, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Tripoli, Lebanon

All articles pertaining to city landmarks in Tripoli

Request

I would like to request a pushpin map for Tripoli, Lebanon, to be used on all pages related to locations within the city. This would greatly enhance the geographical context for readers and contribute to the overall quality of the articles. For your reference, I have included two links:

• A link detailing the city borders of Tripoli on Google maps.

• A link showcasing the neighborhoods within the city on on page 7 map. Please don't include al-Mina, Beddaoui, Mejdlaya, and other areas outside of the city limits.
  

Thank you for considering this request. -- el.ziade (talkallam) 18:29, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Discussion

@el.ziade, Did you know that we already have a way to show landmarks in the vicinity?

For instance:

1. Click on the top right corner [  ] of these maps, to get a full screen map
2. Click right bottom buttton "Show nearby articles"

I ended up making three maps. The list of articles grew too large, so splitting them up seemed right.

Do you have suggestions for improvement?

Do you want a border around the centre like in the example maps?

Groetjes, Peter (talk) 22:49, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

@Groetjes, Peter I can't thank you enough, very very well made maps, thank you! el.ziade (talkallam) 12:42, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome. I've posted a message about the three resulting maps on the talk page of Tripoli, Lebanon. Can we call this request  Done? Groetjes, Peter (talk) 10:56, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Abortion in Australia

Abortion in Canada

Request

I want one map of Australia by states and territory with each state territory abortion gestational rule. and one map for Canada.

(Australia)

(Canada)

Muaza Husni (talk) 07:03, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Discussion

@Muaza Husni, for clarification:

Canada

There's already a template that shows the Canadian situation: Is it OK (23 weeks + 6 days = 24 weeks)? Does it need an update? If so, what adjustments does it need?

Australia

{{Abortion map of Australia}} does not yet exist. Here's a map.svg that is related, but it doesn't portrait the limits nor the same style as the other maps on Abortion law#Comparative limits for countries with elective abortions.

As an improvement of the map, I suggest to put a circle around the capitol, so it's way more visible what policy it has.

1) Do you want such an Australian map in the "Canadian style"?

2) Does the left map display the current Australian abortion laws? Or does it need an update?

Groetjes, Peter (talk) 08:15, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Groetjes, Peter Hi again, The Canadian map looks like the kind of map i wanted with the 'gestational age' (fertilization age), in weeks. The Australian map sadly doesn't have the 'gestational age' (fertilization age), in weeks. I would like the Australian abortion map to be like the Canadian and United states map with 'gestational age' (fertilization age), in weeks. It makes it simpler and similar. Thanks. Muaza Husni (talk) 01:39, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Just FYI, US gestational age differs from fertilization age by 2 weeks, and from pregnancy by 3 weeks [cf. the mexico map]. — kwami (talk) 04:58, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Let's not use confusing US standards / measurements in maps of other countries. The colours in the different maps are in sync, keeping in mind the differences kwami talked about.

Canadian:

What I need to know, with sources, is whether the map is up to date.

1. Has Nunavut changed its medical guidelines from up to 20 weeks, down to up to 12 weeks?
2. Has Manitoba changed its medical guidelines from 16 weeks, to up to 20 weeks (19w+6d)?

Australian:

1. I'll make the map, based on the data in the above table.
2. I know it's a slightly different map, but it would be nice if you could look into the laws behind it, to see if it's still up to date.

I'm just a mapmaker, not an expert on every topic. As a mapmaker, I think this old map displays the capitol policy very poorly. I'd like to improve it, but when I don't know whether things have changed, I'd better not.
