W3C compliant SVG file rendered as text, not image

Location of Hendaye in Labourd

Article(s): eu:Hendaia

Request: I uploaded a new version of the map that passed the W3C validator test (I uploaded it to W3C before doing so in Commons). However, now, each time I click on the image to see the original size, I expect to see it rendered in the browser. But, in this case I only get to see the source code of the SVG, not the rendered image itself as with other SVGs. Both with Firefox and Chromiun. How can I fix this and make the SVG map both W3C compliant and rendered on the browser? Thank you. --Janfri (talk) 12:01, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

You need <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> before <svg> tag. It's weird that the "all raw code" bug only happens when you directly load the SVG from Wikimedia server. When I download the file to my harddisk and open in Firefox the image renders normally. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 14:40, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Help reducing the size of Asia Minor ca 842 AD-V3DisDeImpSHPSimpl.svg

Asia MInor in 842

Article(s): es:Batalla de Lalakaon and others

Request: Just in case this is right and I should have asked here instead of here. Is any one able to reduce the size of the above SVG map without loosing too much detail so that it gets rendered in both Commons & Wikipedia? No matter what I try I cannot make it smaller without breaking it... I would also welcome any advide on making these SVGs lighter (with as little loss of detail as possible) and would like to know whether there is any rendering limit for SVG in Commons/Wikipedia (as it seems a file smaller than 10M has no problem getting rendered).

Subnational entities on world map?

this is how treaty maps are easily coloured using codes like ".nl, .ca" somewhere at the top to colour those 2 countries
The base map containg the ISO3166 alpha 2 codes for colouring
maps where a second level subdivision is needed for some colouring;

Article(s)

Many possibilities. I want to use them now on Cape Town Treaty, where the Aircraft protocol does not apply to new brunswick... But it would also enable easier updating of maps in Category:SVG maps of the world with subnational borders, which is now often a specialist work or "breaking the nice svg-code" colouring

Request

There are several world maps that combine information on laws of both national and subnational jurisdictions. For example w:speed limits by country are controlled mostly by federal law, but in certain systems (notably the US) by state law. The need for a second level subdivision is mainly seen for Canada, the US, the UK and Australia. There are several maps that include second level subdivisions of those states (see above), but none of them are easily editable with a text editor as the world maps are. I therefore think that a

worldmap based on File:BlankMap-World6.svg
with second level subdivisions of Canada, the US, the UK and Australia
for which the colouring can be indicated through w:ISO 3166-2 (e.g. w:ISO 3166-2:CA with British Columbia as ca-bc)
where the subnational borders can be "switched on" and "switched off"

Would that be possible? Maybe good to start with Canada and from there see how it is working? Thanks in advance! --L.tak (talk) 15:58, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

There is a gap of roughly 10 to 15 pixels missing between the two images. Note the letters No missing at the left side bottom from the right half. Delphi234 (talk) 02:10, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Hmmm, indeed, I had not noticed the missing part. I have found a version that seems to be complete, though. Could this be cropped and "cleaned" to be used in Wikipedia? Thank you.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 09:14, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

I have uploaded this version cleaning up as much as I could...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 10:43, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Even though the source was jpeg, a png would be much better - especially in a cleaned up version - there is nothing that needs to be in a compressed format - and a jpeg introduces artifacts. Delphi234 (talk) 03:10, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

I basically cropped the original final removing the frame and tried to remove some "noise" as well, I did not go beyond that, I am sure it can be improved...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 20:11, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Jpeg is a lossy format, and a lot of "noise" is introduced as an artifact just from the compression process. PNG is lossless, so whatever you clean up, stays cleaned up. See {{BadJPEG}} for a link to the article on compression artifacts. Delphi234 (talk) 21:41, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Request: Can someone with access to Acrobat or similar program convert the pdf's to png or jpg from http://www.nrel.gov/wind/international_wind_resources.html that were created by NREL and are not available in a graphics format (Afghanistan, Angola, Armenia, etc.)? These can be uploaded to the Category:Mean wind speed maps, and to the categories Wind speed in XXX where it exists. These were created by an agency of the US Government so can be licensed PD USGOV.

Graphist opinion(s)

@Delphi234: I guess you can do that your self. Download the pdf you want. Right click on it and click on open with Gimp. If you don't have Gimp you can download it, it's open source. You will then get a window that will ask you with what resolution you want to open the pdf. I guess you can set it to 200 pixels/in. Then you export the image as x.png and upload it to commons. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:46, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

I am a bit overloaded with programs that I have already added, so if someone else has Gimp or Acrobat that would be a big help.

Source?

This section was archived on a request by: Offnfopt^(talk) 01:52, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

There are not very many pd svg maps of the US, but I found one to use for these but unfortunately failed to indicate where I found it and have since purged my history. Can anyone identify the source, and confirm if it is indeed PD? It is the same size as the locator maps, and shares id labels (RI_Atlantic_1_ for example), so I am guessing that someone else erred in marking their derivative work PD. If it was possible to do a search for "RI_Atlantic_1_" (and/or "NJ_Atlantic_1_") in all svg files it should be trivial to identify. The locator maps are traced back to File:Map of USA with state names.svg as a source, which does not use that id labeling scheme. Should I just relicense this as CCA and use a different PD map? Delphi234 (talk) 04:27, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@Delphi234: It appears you used this image as your source. It was incorrectly set to PD and contains labels such as "RI_Atlantic" and "NJ_Atlantic". I've corrected the license on that file, but now the license on your images also need the license corrected. I'll make the changes after making this post. Offnfopt^(talk) 01:40, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Good catch. I do not recall ever seeing that map so I probably used something else, which was also incorrectly licensed. I think the source of the locator maps is File:Map of USA with state names.svg as evidenced by this map. In fact the _1 was added in the 27 May 2006 upload. Delphi234 (talk) 03:03, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Original historical map of Seoul
My attempt at map with inset showing Sanamgi location

Article(s): en:Saenamteo

Request: I would like a map with inset showing a particular location on a historical map of Seoul, Korea. I have made an attempt at it, but the aesthetics and readability aren't great. A better version would be welcome. Feel free to use a different presentation and arrangement (and even without an inset) if it improves the result. Ideally, though, the map should show the location of Sanamgi relative to the city on the full map scale, and also show a legible version of the three Chinese characters 沙南基. Thanks! --Amble (talk) 21:38, 24 August 2015 (UTC); @Goran tek-en: Yes, the correct area is the second rectangle surrounding the characters in the inset map. --Amble (talk) 06:36, 28 September 2015 (UTC); @Goran tek-en: Right, the small feature on a large, busy map makes it difficult.

~~Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 18:11, 27 September 2015 (UTC)~~

@Amble: I will try to help you but first I need you to show me exactly which is the area of Sanamgi. In your file I can see you made a rectangle and in that (which you have enlarged to the left) you have also made a rectangle surrounding some letters. I don't think the area of Sanamgi is that second rectangle so I need you to show me which area it is, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:11, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

@Amble: This is not so easy as the part which is important is so small compared to the whole map. The draft I show you here is made with the assumption that the whole base map doesn't need to be visible. So have a look at this draft and give me feedback on it, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:06, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

@Amble: I think it's better if you write your answers here so one can get an overview.

At what resolution will it be shown? Give me the size of the image in the article in pixels. But is it not also so that you can click on it to get the full picture, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 08:34, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

It's to be used in en:Saenamteo. The size in pixels could change, but the image should be useful at a smaller size suitable for inclusion inline. --Amble (talk) 15:52, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

@Amble: New draft. If you want something that works in the size you are having in the article I think it will be very hard to both view where it comes from and to see it by itself. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:16, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Yes, that's the difficulty I found in making a sensible image for the article. I'm looking for creative ideas, suggestions, or advice rather than just technical implementation, so the question is not so much what I want, but what will be most useful in the article. That could mean an image with one or more insets, multiple images, a single image with colors to highlight the region of interest -- it doesn't have to look like the version I came up with. I like your idea of changing the color range in the base map. --Amble (talk) 22:39, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

@Amble: Sorry for the delay but I had to do other things. If you don't want to use the last draft I made I don't think I can help you any more right now. So you have to tell me if you want to use that or I will have to let someone else have a try on this. Please also ping me as the watch doesn't work for me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:21, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Thanks. I probably won't have time to think about this either. Anyone is free to replace my image with a better one. --Amble (talk) 06:58, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Incidentally, just in case it helps: while trying my hand at creating maps with Qgis, I drew this version but gave up as I never managed to make the original raster map fit the one generated in Qgis (using Natural Earth data for coastline, rivers, etc and mainly Wikipedia for placing the cities in map). I am not sure it it may be a problem with Qgis (maybe I was not using the same projection as the original map) or if there is something wrong with the original map itself. I mention it just in case you may find the draft useful... Thank you!--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 19:08, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. I auto-traced it, because it felt easier and still produced satisfying level of detail. I tried to match maps template, but when uploading I realized that there are so many articles referencing original map colors, so I can't just change them to something completely different. At the same time I feel that my colors are easier to name and distinguish (i.e. there is light green and dark green instead of green and lime green). But if you'd like, I can of course use the original colors and then I could just globally swap the PNG version with my SVG. What do you think? Jembezmamy (talk) 21:18, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

It looks really nice! I will start creating the Spanish versions as soon as I have the time. I may change a couple of colours in the Spanish versions if no one is really relaying on the them but that should be no problem. Thanks a lot!!!--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 07:11, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Done - @MB298: File:Oregon State Senate districts-2016-MB298.svg - I did a quick and dirty autotrace to convert it to SVG (meaning it was computer generated, so there could be errors with it). If you need to make any adjustments to it, this can be done with Inkscape. Offnfopt^(talk) 18:41, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: . Hey, this map is great. if it's not too much trouble, I was hoping for a map with the districts borders (because that's what I saw in other maps. U can easly copy the borders from file:Sindh Districts.svg. (BTW I just found out about this map)--Mikey641 (talk) 09:54, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

@Mikey641: It's no problem to add districts also. One thing about maps is that there is not one which is the true one, it depends on so many things. Look at this category and compare the first two rows with the next three ones. It's the same area but two different types of maps.

In the OSM map I'm working from doesn't include more districts than the ones I have added. It seems like there are different levels of districts so I'm not really sure what to do more.

Have a look at the two drafts here with all and here more blank. Give me feedback on them, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:46, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Updating Holy Roman Empire maps

This section was archived on a request by:

This section is marked as stale due to inactivity in the section, for this reason the section is marked to be archived by Offnfopt^(talk) 10:37, 6 October 2016 (UTC).

Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire

Requests: As fantastic as the https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HRR_1400.png map is, is there any way to add some additional details to it? Within the Luxemburg, Wettin, and Habsburg lands, there are no internal borders between the different adjacent territories. As an example, I refer you to the https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/HRR_1789_EN.png where there are light gray borders between the Habsburg lands of Bohemia, Moravia, Syria, etc. I think this would help give a little additional detail. Additionally, this could help add some extra detail in a couple of other regions - I don't see the Bishopric of Verden within the Bishopric of Bremen; internal borders within Brunswik-Luneberg to clearly define the border with Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel as well as including the Principality of Luneberg (capital at Celle), and Principality of Grubenhagen; and also adding borders between the Bavarian divisions and Mecklenberg lands. You could even show some of the internal border regions in Savoy and Milan as those regions are large enough to show the detail. I would also like to see this detail inside Bohemia and Moravia and Selisia - beside just showing the borders between these two lands as I mentioned above, I would love to see some of the duchies and counties that existed in these lands as I can't ever find any maps that show this detail (maybe a good idea for a separate map as well). Additionally, in the countries that border the Holy Roman Empire, I like that they are just one color to differentiate the Holy Roman Empire but I would still like to see some gray borders in those countries of the duchies and counties around the Holy Roman Empire. I just love to see all that detail when I am reading articles to see what regions are next to what. Also, it would be nice if the menus could be updated to English but there is something I like about the entities being in German as it is their actual names. Maybe there is room to add a translation menu which at least explains the titles, ex. Gft. = County, Hzm. = Duchy, etc.). I also had one question about the Duchy of Teck (under the Margrave of Burgau). I have only ever been able to find this Duchy located on one map (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/shepherd/german2_shepherd.jpg) and they show it next to Ulm. I know there were two creations of the Duchy of Teck so not sure if this is where it was in 1400 and then there was a later Duchy of Teck by Ulm - just wanted to check for clarity.

As for the https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/HRR_1789_EN.png map, I would love to see it have the same resolution as the https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HRR_1400.png map. There is a lot of detail on this map but at a greater resolution, you could add just a bit more. I would also like to see some of the internal borders in the Habsburg lands shown in the Electorate of Brandenburg and Electorate of Saxony, Electorate of Hanover, Austrian Netherlands, etc. And, any borders within France, Poland and Hungary would be great.

This has to be one of the best maps on Wiki of the early Holy Roman Empire from the year 1000: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/Droysens-22-23.jpg. What are the chances this would be updated to a modern map like the above at the same resolution as the https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HRR_1400.png map and put in English? This map has so much detail that it would be a fantastic reference.

This is a great map of the Holy Roman Empire in 1689 (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Holy_Roman_Empire_1648.svg) but it needs to be updated to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HRR_1400.png level of resolution and detail.

Additionally, between this map from 1000 and the map from 1400, there are no other highly detailed maps of the Holy Roman Empire. I would love to see one from the 1200s to start off with at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HRR_1400.png resolution and level of detail which would give wiki a detailed map of the HRE every 200 years and then could eventually work on filling in the gaps to have one of the HRE every 100 years, e.g. 1296 when Duchy of Saxony is dissolved.

As for territories, I have found a couple of other maps I love to reference that I think would be great to update (obviously this is a long-running project): Duchy of Wurtemberg (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/shepherd/german2_shepherd.jpg). I think this map would be great to update as is but I would also like to see another map of just the growth of the Duchy of Wurtemberg up til 1789 as this map really shows the acquisition at the time of the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in the early 1800s but does not show how they acquired their main territories; Duchy of Baden (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/shepherd/german1_shepherd.jpg). I know there are some later ones that show the 1800s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Baden#/media/File:Map_of_Baden_%281819-1945%29.png) but they do not have this detail. And again, it would be great to see an additional map with just the acquisitions up to 1771; Duchy of Bavaria (http://www.uni-regensburg.de/Fakultaeten/phil_Fak_III/Geschichte/1350g.jpg) this is a great map and I can't find anything like it on wiki. Bavaria is a great dynamic territory that should have some additional detailed maps from additional years; Electorate of Saxony: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electorate_of_Saxony#/media/File:Saxony_%28Division_of_Leipzig%29_-_NL.png and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electorate_of_Saxony#/media/File:Saxony_after_the_Capitulation_of_Wittenberg_%281547%29_-_NL.png need to be in English and the Ernestine branch of the Wettin dynasty maps (example as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxe-Weimar#/media/File:SajoniaWeimar.jpg) should be updated and need one that includes all of the territories over several periods to show all of the divisions.

File:Antarctic fr.svg still needs to be fixed. Delphi234 (talk) 05:42, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Best guess is the error is generated because the base64 data is not properly defined i.e. for JPEG should be "data:image/jpeg;base64" and PNG should be "data:image/png;base64". There are 12 embedded images in the file, all 12 appear to be the same file, a JPEG. So if you correct these 12 with the correct JPEG identifier I listed above I believe it'll get you fixed up.

Dividing huge Ottoman map into smaller maps

Nouvelle carte generale des provinces asiatiques de L'empire Ottoman (Kiepert, 1883).jpg

Article(s): lots, basically every place that it mentions is a possible article to put it in.

Request: It is a collage of 6 different maps, (and those single maps are not uploaded to commons). My question is: Is there anyone here who could divide it into the 6 different maps (keeping the max 20,834 × 12,620 pixels size), and then upload those 6 maps to commons? --Huldra (talk) 22:42, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)

@Huldra: I probably could, but you write that you want the new six different maps also should keep the same size as to original one. If I cut out 1/6 it will become smaller. What did you mean by it? --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:12, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: What I meant was that I would want the pixels size, 20,834 × 12,620 retained. I think that pixels size is needed for us to see the names on the map. Huldra (talk) 20:34, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 16:42, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

@Huldra: Either I don't understand what you mean or you don't have an understanding of how a bitmap image works. If I take out 1/6 of an image the pixel size of that 1/6 will be smaller (1/6) than what the original image was, but it will not reduce the resolution of that new image.

Also I will need you to give me six names for the new six images. Start from top left and go to the right and then the bottom part, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:42, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

There are stamps and stuff outside the maps in some places, do want that to be a part of each image or is it just the map area you want? --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:13, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: You are probably right...I dont know much about pixels etc...if the resolution is kept the same, then that is what I want... And the stamps etc outside the maps are not needed. What about the following names: Western Turkey, Eastern Turkey, Northern Iran, Egypt and Western Palestine, Eastern Palestine, Jordan and Southern Syria, Iraq and Iran. Huldra (talk) 20:10, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

@Huldra: I get that to seven names, it should be six? --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:55, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: It is six, "Eastern Palestine, Jordan and Southern Syria," is one name. If it is too long, then try "Palestine, Jordan and Syria," Huldra (talk) 20:10, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

@Huldra: Now you can find the different files here:
File:Parts_of_Ottoman_Empire_Western_Turkey.png
File:Parts_of_Ottoman_Empire_Eastern_Turkey.png
File:Parts_of_Ottoman_Empire_Northern_Iran.png
File:Parts_of_Ottoman_Empire_Egypt_Western_Palestine.png
File:Parts_of_Ottoman_Empire_Eastern_Palestine_Jordan_Southern_Syria.png
File:Parts_of_Ottoman_Empire_Iraq_Iran.png
As you can see the files are big in Mb and that is because I have saved them in a png format, the bigger map was saved in a jpg format. Png is a non destructive format compared to jpg which is a destructive format.
You should also check the information on the different files so I got it right. I did change the file names a bit, I do hope that is OK with you. --Goran tek-en ([[User talk:Goran tek-en|

@Goran tek-en: Thanks a lot! Great! The titles are correct, AFAIK. And yeah, they are still big, but at least now they are ..slightly...managable!! Thanks again! Huldra (talk) 20:15, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Yes, still interested. And should have time to answer questions. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:46, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

And thanks. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:47, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

As I understand you want a map of that Lake Tauca which doesn't exist any more?

I don't understand that you are writing about "...starting from...".

I also would need you to show me (very simple drawing on a map or something) which area you need as I don't think you mean the whole Altipano map?

ou have to think of that know zero of this subject so explain as much as you think I need to know, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:07, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: "Starting from" means that these links contain (non-free, hence this request) maps to give an idea of what would be desired. In practice, such a map would show all the area that would be covered by a 3770m high lake covering the present-day region. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:07, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 17:09, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Is it this area, in red that you want? If not please tell which, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:07, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Pretty much, yeah. The box obviously isn't the shoreline, of course. And a high resolution is always good - probably no point in trying to estimate the isostatic shift of the shorelines. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:41, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: ´Pretty much´, I have to know if that area is OK. Ones I have started to do the map it's very difficult to add area. I will do a vector image (svg) which can be enlarged without any resolution lost. So please tell me , yes that area is OK or draw on an image which area you want, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:04, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

That area is OK. Remember to not simply re-trace that map though - copyright issues aside it's a rough low resolution map. Using topographic maps as starting points is better. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:09, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: I will use something else for base map. Please also ping or replay to me because the watch function doesn't work all the time, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:30, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Got it. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:01, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Now there is a draft for you to look at. This is a png image from the svg file that I work in.

I need your feedback now. The read line is the lake, do you want me to make it as a lake or what?

Is the topographic map what you want? --Goran tek-en (talk ) 17:39, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Seems like a blue line would be better for a lake. Question, did you retrace the image in the paper? The red line obviously isn't following any contour lines. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:14, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: I don't think I really understand you.

Do you want the lake just to be a line (blue) or do you want a line and a blue surface also?
The line which is red (just so it's easy to see) on my draft represents the lake as in your provided image. If that is not correct then please tell me from which source, or what you want in the map?

Please also to remember that the source has to be a one that we have the permission to use or that it's license is such.

You write "The red line obviously isn't following any contour lines." what do you mean by that?
The map I have used as a base is from another place that has free maps for this.
Please remember that I have no knowledge of this subject so you have to explain to me what you want and I will draw that. --Goran tek-en (talk) 09:44, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Alright. The issue with your draft image is that it is essentially retracing the coastline on the non-free image on a low resolution topographic map. That's rendering it highly inaccurate. You'd need a free map with a much higher resolution. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:48, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: I have not used "the non-free image on a low resolution topographic map" as base. I have told you that several times.

I have used this page as the source for the base map. I have zoomed in taken several different print screens of the interested area and then add them together to get this image. If that coast line is wrong then I don't have any better free source.

Then you will have to provide me with a better topographic free map to use.
I have no other idea on how I should now which oast line that is the right one for you, get back to me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:46, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Redacted my previous commentSorry! That topographic map is good enough. The coastline needs to follow the 3770m and 3830m elevation contours - it doesn't seem like that topographic map has elevation contours, does it Goran tek-en? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:36, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Okay now I start to understand. When you talked about coastline I thought you meant between land and ocean but I guess you meant the lake.

So now I will check that the lake follow those elevation contours, do you also want the elevation contours in the map?

As I told you before, you have to tell me in detail what you want. I have zero knowledge and I don't know what you want in the map if you don't tell me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:52, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: You've basically got the basemap. The elevation contours that coincide with the shoreline are the 3770m contour, so the shoreline should follow that contour and be labelled as "Tauca highstand"; if possible you could draw two additional shorelines for 3660m labelled "Ticaña lowstand" and 3700m labelled "Coipasa highstand". You don't need to label the elevations themselves. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 20:29, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: If we only have a map with those elevation contours that's not a problem. But I can't find the elevation contours on the maps we have acces to and I have searched but not been able to find any others. The free-map where I got the base map just have colors and that is not something I can use here.

On your link to researchgate the text says "Limit of the endorheic Tauca watershed is the orange dashed line. Contour lines for present-day yearly precipitation are in white (New et al., 2002)." Do you mean I should use any of those?
You can find contours on google maps and some others but you have to zoom in so close that you really are lost on our bigger map, it's to detailed and not visible when you zoom out. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:55, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: Regarding the first question, I don't think these are needed. Regarding the second question, map services usually will display contour lines only at high resolution as the map gets too crowded otherwise. I wonder if retracing them on OpenStreetMap tiles might work, but it'd be a pretty large image. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:10, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: To my knowledge OSM does not have contour lines at all. So if you don't know of any other free source I don't know how to obtain them at this time. I don't have the knowledge to use the shape files one can download either.

So what shall we do, continue without contours or what? --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:52, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Cyclemap mode has contour lines, but again only at high resolution. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:12, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Thanks, yes I just found out. But still as you say the high magnification makes it impossible for me to use. We have to decide how to continue. I Can't use that so what do you want me to do with my draft? --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:19, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Maybe we'll need to roughly retrace the non-free map. Roughly, because while the exact trace is copyrighted, the rough copy is not as it's based off topographical criteria which aren't copyrightable. You'll need to be careful that the shorelines do not cross a mountaintop or something, that was an issue with your previous draft. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:26, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: That is what I already has done, we don't have any other map with the shape of the lake. Now there is a new draft. This has the lake with a blue line, maybe you have to update your browser to get this new one. --Goran tek-en (talk) 21:13, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Barring the sudden availability of a contour map, that will have to serve. Maybe you want to insert the islands (in the first source) too. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 22:39, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

- I don't know how big you will use the image so I ask you if there is a possibility for me to make the numbers smaller?
There are so many numbers in some places but they also have to be able to view in the map.
- I want you to give me the numbers where there is a x encircled with a read line.
- I have also some bigger read circles and I wonder if you know what that is in those corners.

Which map, I can't see any?
Have you tried to find a map that we can get a permission to use? --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:22, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: The requesting user linked the (low qual) map in the title of this section. Here it is again: [4]. Best, --Lommes (talk) 11:36, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

@BokicaK: The image is really a low resolution but if you have knowledge about this and you will help me by checking my drafts I will take this, but I need your support on this. Get back to me if you will help me, thanks.--Goran tek-en (talk) 18:56, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

I will help, just ask. Thanks. -- Bojan Talk 18:59, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 15:11, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

@BokicaK: If you think that there is some kind of copyright on the image you linked to I can't even use it as a base to make a new drawing from. So please check if we can use that image?
I have found some other images and this one seems to be free to use if you read there terms of use.
Here is another one a bit down on the page and you can see it better here. At this page the say that you can get permission to use there material check this.
At this page there is also a map. I'm not sure we would get an answer here but maybe.
So I need you to check the map you had, and then tell me if any of the ones I have found could god to use, so get back to me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:40, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Can you just use a free source (e. g. Open Street map) as background, and then use that map from hr.wiki as a reference? It would be good if You can draw this map, too. -- Bojan Talk 19:41, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

@BokicaK: ~~I can use OSM as background but then you have to give me the coordinates for the location?~~

I have sent an email to ushmm.org to get there permission, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:33, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

@BokicaK: I need your help now. We haven't talked about what area you want of the surroundings and what should be included like rivers, roads etc. I have a very rough draft here. This is a png version of the svg I'm working in.

Question I need you to download it and draw a rectangle of the area you want the map to include and send it to me or if you can describe it.

Question Also I want you to ell me what you want included in the background map, rivers, railroads, today's roads, forests etc. We can dim them down if we think they are to obvious etc.

Question Is it okay if the map covers the area you draw (or tell me) and then there is a big version of the camp as I have illustrated.

You can also tell me everything else on what you expect the map to include or look like, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:06, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Perhaps you should draw two maps. One for central camp, and one for whole system of concentration camps, execution sites and mass graves. The draft looks good, but it omits towns w:Stara Gradiška, Bročice Draksenić and Krapje camp. Railway and rivers are important for this topic, roads are not. -- Bojan Talk 19:47, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

@BokicaK: As it is a rough draft I haven't added a lot of material, such as citys yet. The most important thing to me is the area which the map includes. So to be able to continue I really need direct answers to my questions. Remember I have no knowledge at any depth of this, you have to explain everything, thanks.

I insist in that you delete the draft image that you have uploaded, it's not in any stage to be uploaded at commons.

Question Should I keep the overall area as in the draft. Would this be the map of the whole system then.

If you want me to add "concentration camps, execution sites and mass graves" you have to provide me with free base materials for that.

Template:Exclamation Do you know to get an exclamation mark like question mark? --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:36, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Bigger map should cover area roughly from 45.3956N to 45.1138N and 16.8482E to 17.3110 Beside town and camps, rivers Sava, Una and Veliki Strug, and railways Jasenovac-Novska (drawn in first draft) and Zagreb-Kutina-Novska-Belgrade 8that runs almost parallel with A3 highway) are of importance for this topic. -- Bojan Talk 17:33, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

@BokicaK: Now there is a new draft according your latest information. To me Krapje camp is outside your given area, to the left. As you can see the main camp is really small so we have to decide how you want it. What we can do is to make it more visible but at the same time remove most of the details as they are not visible any way. When we do a close up of that main camp one can view all the details there. Now you have to tell me what else to add or change, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:49, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Ah, my mistake. Krapje definetely should be in the map. Could you please expand map? You should add location of towns Jasenovac, Jablanac (instead of arrow pointing down - I meant to sow aproximate location of Jablanac in first draft), Ćuklinac, (Bosanska) Dubica, Uštica and Novska.

Stara Gradiška is on left bank of Sava River (opposite to town Bosanska Gradiška in modern Bosnia and Herzegovina on right bank). Name of small river is Veliki Strug, not VelikA Strug. Add map key, and that would be it.

-- Bojan Talk 19:35, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

@BokicaK: First I want to tell you that I'm serious on that you have to delete the draft file you have uploaded!

On the new draft I put a X for the location of Krapje camp, I didn't know what kind of symbol you wanted so you have to tell me.

This new draft is as before just a png version of the original svg. To me there is a lot of air in the map to no use but I don't know how you will use the map so it's up to you.

This request started of with you asking for a map of the Jasenovac concentracion camp but now it's not even in the map, I don't really understand?

So please give me feedback on this and don't forget to delete the uploaded raft, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:53, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Dots or circles are OK. I requested deletion of draft I uploade. Jasenovac was in fact network of death and concentration camps, execution sites and facilities for forced labor. Inmates were forced to dig irrigation canal and build bricks, chains and other tools. Camp #1 (in village Bročice) and camp #2 (in village Krapje) existed during summer and fall of 1941. Main camp (Ciglana "brick factory" - camp #3) was just outside town of Jasenovac (to the northeast). Its location was present in your previous drafts. In town Jasenovac itself was camp #4 (Kožara - "leather factory"). In town Stara Gradiška was camp #5 for women. In forests and marhes outside village Donja Gradina was main execution site and now there are many mass graves. In villges Mlaka and Jablanac inmates were forced to cultivate crops, after its original inhabitants were sent to the concentration camp. People were killed in all camps. Novska and Bosanska Dubica are just major towns in the area.

My first wish was map that will show entire system of camps (we almost finished it). Then You found this map that shows only camp #3. It would be useful too, if You would convert it to svg or draw a free equivalent. -- Bojan Talk 02:31, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

@BokicaK: Thanks for informing me so I understand it all much better.

1 Do you want me to put back "(Ciglana "brick factory" - camp #3) was just outside town of Jasenovac"?
2 Which symbol do you want me to use on Krapje camp and on camp #3 if you want me to put it back?

When we are done with this I will need the following;

Name of the file
Description
Category/ies at commons

to be able to upload it at commons.

After this is done we will do the other. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:33, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en:

Yes
For Krapje (Krapje is just another village in which vicinity was concentration camp) and other towns and villages dots that You are already using is OK. For camp # a black square would be OK
Name of file for example Jasenovac camps.svg
Description: Jasenovac camp complex
Category: Jasenovac concentration camp -- Bojan Talk 02:06, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

Now you can find it here, Jasenovac camp complex

Tell me how you want the map/illustration of the camp, all information that I need, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:41, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: , I would like same image like this, in SVG format. -- Bojan Talk 17:08, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

@BokicaK: I haven't received any permission yet so I will wait some more time. If we don't get it I don't really know how we should continue. Did send to another email also today. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:37, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

@BokicaK: I got the permission now and I have a draft for you. Give me feedback on it, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 21:22, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Perfect! Just fix map key (red line means embankmebt, not railoroad) and You can upload it. -- Bojan Talk 03:09, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Location maps of Sri Lanka

(1)
Main location map
(2)
Main location map (relief)
(3)
NASA topography map

Article(s): en:Template:Location map Sri Lanka; en:Module:Location map/data/Sri Lanka Northern Province; (more modules to be created)

Request

Replace the topography detail of the existing relief map (2nd file), with that of the more accurate and detailed NASA map (3rd file). (recolouring will be needed)
Sharpen the provincial and district borders with those as shown on ~~files 4 and 5~~ file 6. These two files are samples only, and are to be deleted.
Fix borders on the relief map (top area - 2nd file).
Make provincial borders thicker than district borders.
Remove the two rivers and reservoirs from the first two maps (see also), and

If needed, you may visit this page to test the accuracy of the country's borders. The placemark's coordinates are very accurate (taken from Google Earth), and shows the extreme ends of the country. Thanks! Reh man 05:33, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

Sri Lanka adm location map.svg and Sri Lanka rel location map.svg are available now. NNW 21:20, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, NNW! Looks great! Just a few changes, would you be able to remove all the rivers and waterbodies from both new maps, and make the 2nd level (district) borders more lighter (lighter grey)? And instead of just trashing the river details which I just mentioned, would you be able to upload it to a completely new svg file using the topographic background, and including only rivers and 1st level/province borders, but no waterbodies. This will be very useful for the river articles which I am currently working on. Thank you so much for your help. Cheers, Reh man 01:30, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Deleting all lakes? Some rivers flow through lakes. Sri Lanka adm location map.svg and Sri Lanka rel location map.svg are showing only 1st level borders now, Sri Lanka adm-2 location map.svg and Sri Lanka rel-2 location map.svg 2nd level borders, too, with these borders with a thiner line. All these maps are part of a set of maps which all have to look the same. I can upload further files but they won't have file names related to location maps but you can use them as alternative maps for the template maps. NNW 16:58, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

@NNW: Sorry for the late reply. Please ignore my previous comment. Instead, would you be able to replace File:Sri Lanka location map.svg with File:Sri Lanka adm-2 location map.svg, but removing all the rivers while retaining the water bodies? This is because the current default map:

does not have the waterbodies marked properly
has no distinction between provinces and district borders
and has less sharper borders when compared to the map you created.

Removal of rivers is because:

the current map doesn't have rivers
not all rivers are mapped
having rivers will confuse viewers for borders, and looks too cluttered as well.

Similarly, the same applies to the relief maps (File:Sri Lanka relief location map.jpg and File:Sri Lanka rel location map.svg), but to add district borders as well. Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you, Reh man 14:00, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Sri Lankan province and district location maps

Non-graphist comment: The same outcome is requested in part of the #Location maps of Sri Lanka section above. Reh man 13:10, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

That request relates to island wide maps - my request is for province/district specific maps.--Obi2canibe (talk) 13:14, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Obi2canibe and Rehman This may not answer all your map needs but there is now a way of using and annotating Open Street Maps, which can provide a different way of showing map data without each map having to be made specially. It won't integrate into info-boxes and uses a template at en:template:OSM Location map which might need porting across to non-en wiki's. But as an example, I have added a map at en:Sabaragamuwa Province to show an example of what is possible. It could also be used to add red locator dots etc to show specific features. (Unfortunately the Open Street Map version available does not currently show Sri Lanka district boundaries}. RobinLeicester (talk) 21:31, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
