Regarding the 2019 SA election

Hi, there. Thanks for creating that nice graphic for the 2019 South African general election. What software/application did you use to create it? Kind regards. Lefcentreright (talk) 20:53, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

I took the picture from the South African provinces page, then I edited the SVG file in notepad to add the dots. KingWither (talk) 21:04, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Brexit party logo on ballot paper.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Irish General Election 2018

Hey man! I saw that you are one of the two editors for this map file and the original one is no longer active on Wikipedia! May I kindly request, if possible, that you change the "Labour Unionist" title to "Belfast Labour" in the file for the map, this will intrigue users to explore the not often visited but somewhat significant Wikipage relating to Northern Ireland, also it was the official name of the party, not "Labour Unionist", thank you so much!

Licenses

Hello,

you are apparently declarating all your uploaded election maps as "own work". Please provide the sources, especially when the source files are licensed under a "share-alike" license (examples: File:2022 Uttar Pradesh Election.svg, File:Results of the 2022 Goa State Election.svg).

UK2023Constituencies.svg black lines

What do the black lines on File:UK2023Constituencies.svg represent? They don't appear to be county or NUTS boundaries. Tombricks (talk) 19:08, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

• Sorry, I should have added that as a note. The Boundary Commission for England divided the regions into subregions, each of which was allocated a certain number of constituencies. I originally intended to use Ceremonial County lines, because the 2010-2019 boundaries fit into Ceremonial County lines. This time, however, the Commission used larger sub-regions.

A kitten for you!

You beat me to it! Thanks for adding the accurate coastline for the new Westminster boundary map! Unfortunately, the map needs to be reworked as it's using a different projection scheme from the old maps. We need to rectify that to stay consistent沁水湾 (talk) 09:21, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Can you do that in inkscape without having to redo the whole map? That would be super convenient. I am not an expert in inkscape... KingWither (talk) 15:13, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
