File:Decriminalization of homosexuality by country or territory (remastered).svg

Hi Kwamikagami, can you please update Russia on this map to red as according to what is cited on en:LGBT rights in Russia#Summary table, Russia has criminalised same-sex sexual activity since November 2023. Helper201 (talk) 13:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

By "illegal", we mean against the law, which it isn't in Russia. Etra-judicial killings don't count. Kwamikagami (talk) 13:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

The page did explicitly state that same-sex sexual activity is illegal in Russia. However I've changed this on the en:LGBT rights in Russia page now as I couldn't find any source explicitly saying that same-sex sexual activity between consenting adults in Russia in private is in any way illegal (just the "promotion" of LGBT). This may or may not still be the case on that page by the time you read this. Helper201 (talk) 19:25, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

I haven't found anything that changed recently apart from making the "anti-propaganda" laws more draconian. Interesting diff between Ru and China: in China, the law is a weapon against activists, but AFAICT isn't being used for state propaganda as it is in Ru.

Changes to File:World laws pertaining to homosexual relationships and expression.svg

Hello, I have not been doing well recently, but I wish to advise that since last year, I have converted World laws pertaining to homosexual relationships and expression.svg to a text editable format, which means that you should now use a text editor, like TextEdit, Notepad++ or Adobe Dreamweaver, instead of Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape to update the map. Some awareness of how CSS works is required.

If you need help to add subnational territories like the Houthi-controlled part of Yemen to a Inkscape-free SVG, then you should ask Commons:Graphic Lab/Map workshop, mentioning that the map is now text-editable like BlankMap-World.svg. Best, --Minoa (talk) 04:02, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

I think that's all been handled now. Kwamikagami (talk) 21:43, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Sorry to disturb you, but how are we going to help user Robsalerno adjust to the text-editable era of the World laws pertaining to homosexual relationships and expression map? Because the user just used Inkscape again and unintentionally undid the new category for the ongoing repression against LGBT people in Russia. --Minoa (talk) 05:33, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

IMO it's more important to have this info made available than it is for the map to be formatted properly, so I wouldn't want to discourage them from contributing. They're editing in good faith and may not have the time to learn. You could try explaining it to them, but that may not be worth your time. They're not being disruptive. If you don't have time to incorporate their changes into a good version of the map, I'd just revert them until you do, or ask someone like me to do it. Kwamikagami (talk) 06:00, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

I haven't used Dreamweaver in ages. I should look into it again, if there's a Linux version available, as I'm using Inkscape myself. Kwamikagami (talk) 06:02, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

File:Parejas del mismo sexo en la UE.svg

Hi. Could you upload a new version of this file with Greece in drak blue? Someone deleted the picture from the Wikipedia page because it is not up to date anymore, but the new one is not completely correct. I tried to do it myself but I cannot. It shouldn't take more than a few seconds. Thank you. 2A00:1E:8700:EE01:3106:5BB6:AED0:B817 09:13, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Sure thing. Also updated Latvia (won't be med blue till july). Kwamikagami (talk) 21:41, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

User:SamanthaWining deletes your correct map to Nepal and Liechtenstein. Both countries should be coloured in dark blue. --92.76.107.182 11:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

• Liechtenstein: Pinknews: Liechtenstein becomes the last German-speaking country to legalise same-sex marriage

Update request

Hello.

Can you update File:Exclaves of Qazakh.png? The four villages have been returned to Azerbaijan on 24 May 2024. Only the enclaves remain under Armenian occupation. [1] [2] [3]

Can you update these maps, File:Map of Azeri dialects.png, File:Idioma azeri map.png, File:AzerbaijaniSpeakingAreasMap.jpg (Azerbaijani is no longer spoken in Armenia since 1989, after the Azeris were deported) and File:Map of Azerbaijani speakers.png by removing Nagorno-Karabakh, and which are used across Wikipedia? With the flight of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians, Armenian is no longer spoken over a territory in Azerbaijan.

Yours sincerely, Oirattas (talk) 07:01, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't have a good way to edit PNG files. I did the 3 cruder maps, but couldn't maintain the quality of the more detailed first one. Kwamikagami (talk) 07:06, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the updates. Oirattas (talk) 08:59, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
