File:Parejas del mismo sexo en la UE.svg

Hello.

In File:Parejas del mismo sexo en la UE.svg, there is no longer a reason for keeping the internal borders of the UK anymore, after same-sex marriage became legal in Northern Ireland, just like in the rest of the UK. Can you remove them, please?

Yours sincerely, 31.200.21.123 19:07, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't know how to do this! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robsalerno (talk • contribs) 00:00, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

I understand. When I requested an edit on the UK in the map, just days before the elections, Brexit was still an uncertainty. Hence, why I wrote to you. I was thinking about Brexit and whether to ask about editing the UK at all on current EU maps. But I wasn't sure until the election results. Now, it looks very likely, that the UK will leave the EU in less than two months, and it will be removed from hundreds or even thousands of current EU maps. So editing on the UK in current EU maps is superfluous. Thank you for your reply. 31.200.13.55 20:11, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Conversion Therapy Map

Hi.Thank you so much for all the good work that you conducted. I just wanted to let you know that in India there is a nationwide ban on the practice of conversion therapy. Following the Chennai High Court Order, the National Medical Commission under the Central government of India criminalised the practice. Herein is the link for you the view: https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/conversion-therapy-lgbtqia-persons-banned-india-medical-council-tells-hc-161228. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Addie293 (talk • contribs) 21:48, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! I have updated the map. Robsalerno (talk) 07:25, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

The Mexican state of Querétaro banned conversion therapies yesterday: https://rotativo.com.mx/metropoli/legislatura/queretaro-pone-fin-terapias-conversion-sexual-armando-sinecio_1507435_102.html https://queretaro.quadratin.com.mx/sancionara-queretaro-las-terapias-de-conversion/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aleqc (talk • contribs) 04:55, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

about death penalty-related images update

Thank you for updating File:Capital punishment in the world.svg! I mentioned the same thing in User talk:Ratherous#about death penalty-related images update, but if you don't mind, can you update File:CapPun Trend.png because the death penalty has been abolished in Central Africa? --Hatto (talk) 12:51, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Sorry I don't know how to edit that one. Robsalerno (talk) 21:21, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Western sahara death penalty

I'd like to notify you that the western sahara in File:Capital punishment in the world.svg does not correspond with the source document at https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/act50/6665/2017/en/ . In the source document, western sahara is under the same category as morocco. I think, in this particular map, the color is the same regardless of which side you pick in the western sahara conflict, but it's definitely "abolitionist in practice" rather than "abolitionist for all crimes". — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.197.218.212 (talk) 15:32, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Adoption in Mexico

Hi, Our adoption column in the list of states does not match the map, and neither matches WP-es. Could use some refs, but I don't know where to find them myself. Kwamikagami (talk) 07:38, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Good catch: BC and Durango must have been typos. The other states all have citations on the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Mexico#Adoption_and_family_planning and I included a link to that page on the chart. Robsalerno (talk) 08:46, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. Our map and table now agree, with 11 states not allowing joint adoption. But WP-es has puts that number at 17. Not our responsibility, but i wonder if they're just out of date or have sources we don't. Kwamikagami (talk) 18:58, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Since i don't see refs for adoption on WP-es, I changed 6 of the 'no' states to 'yes' to match the map. If s.o. reverts me there, we should see what their sources are. Kwamikagami (talk) 19:04, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! I don't check the non-English versions of WP. Robsalerno (talk) 20:31, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

BTW, for the SSM in Mexico map, it's no longer used anywhere. I don't see any point in a solid blue map, so I moved it to the 'obsolete map' category. Though you're welcome to update it of course. Kwamikagami (talk) 03:02, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

BTW, I think we're waiting on formal publication before SSM is actually the law in Mexico, Guerrero, Tabasco and Tamaulipas. At least, that's how other states worked. I'm surprised Mexico is taking so long, so that makes me wonder if I've got it wrong. Kwamikagami (talk) 03:04, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I deleted it from the SSM in Mexico article... dunno if it's anywhere else.

You're correct that the laws take effect the day after publication in each states' Periodico Oficial, but that's basically a formality as far as it being legal. There's basically no chance that the laws won't be gazetted. In the past, it's taken a matter of days and sometimes over a month to gazette one of these laws. I think leaving the effective date blank on the chart is enough to indicate this. I don't think we need to bother having the access to SSM map with four states "awaiting publication of the law" and then gradually filling them in as each comes into effect. Robsalerno (talk) 06:24, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

There is at least a slight possibility that governors might veto the law, and in any case until it's actually legal no-one can get married. Unless maybe the clerks feel passage is good enough and issue licenses ahead of time, but that's iffy.

(Okay, Guerrero has zero amparos, and Tamaulipas now has a Morena governor, but still.)

Also Guanajuato appears to be taking up legalization. Kwamikagami (talk) 21:43, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Deletion so the world map can be moved back to this name (losing the 'up to date' dab). Kwamikagami (talk) 03:05, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Indonesia

With the new law Indonesia criminalizes sex outside of marriage, and since gay marriages are not legal, doesnt it make gay sex illegal as well? 92.53.50.133 10:00, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Indonesia is claiming that the law doesn't criminalize same-sex relations. Parliament specifically excluded a sodomy law from the new draft code. We'll have to see how the law is implemented in practice. Robsalerno (talk) 17:25, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Same-sex marriage map Oceania.svg

The colors have defined meanings and should be used for what they mean. Otherwise the map is simply gibberish. Your "marriage" color is almost indistinguishable from what the legend of this map (and of other maps in the series) have for civil unions, and nothing like the color for marriage. I changed to reduced saturation of the actual colors we assign to the various categories, if that works for you. Kwamikagami (talk) 07:05, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Philippines

Re. your recent removal of the blue ring from the SSM map, that was for areas under CPP control. I see that info was deleted from the LGBT rights in the Philippines article on WP-en, so I restored it. Same-sex members of the CPP can get married in areas under their control. I thought that was worth a ring, since it's a significant movement even if illegal under national law. Kwamikagami (talk) 02:58, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Nuevo Leon

Hi, Were you able to get confirmation that the law passed? I only saw news that it was scheduled. Kwamikagami (talk) 02:20, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I've linked it in the article. Google "Matrimonio Igualitario Nuevo Leon" if you need more sources. Robsalerno (talk) 09:15, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Updating the LGBT map

Please kindly stop using Inkscape to update File:World laws pertaining to homosexual relationships and expression.svg. It adds unnecessary attributes to the SVG file, and it could potentially distort the shapes of the countries. I thought that I made myself clear that the map should be updated using a text editor only, for such reasons.

Sorry if I sounded frustrated, but there have been recent events that resulted in the Commons making changes to the overwriting of files. --Minoa (talk) 20:27, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with text editing SVG files. I've only ever used Inkscape. How does one text edit a SVG? Can you point me at an editing program and/or guide? Robsalerno (talk) 06:34, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

You can use Adobe Dreamweaver, Notepad++, TextEdit or any editor that edits the map in source code form. You will need to be familiar with CSS styles though: see File talk:BlankMap-World.svg/Documentation. --Minoa (talk) 19:37, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. I'll try to use this in the future if I'm updating this map. Robsalerno (talk) 20:47, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Abzeronow (talk) 18:59, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! Robsalerno (talk) 20:42, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

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

Hi Robsalerno, 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) 13:16, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

I've actually 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. This may or may not still be the case by the time you read this. Helper201 (talk) 19:24, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

File:Capital punishment in the world 2024.svg

Should be updated to have the Gambia as abolitionist in practice, they have a moratorium on the death penalty too 87.116.163.53 18:28, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Conversion therapy ban Mexico

The Mexican Senate finally approved the ban this Friday, 26 March. It was approved by the Chamber of the Deputies one month ago, so it's officially a law awaiting its publication at the government's gazette (it can happen in the next weeks or months). https://www.outinperth.com/mexico-moves-closer-to-outlawing-conversion-therapy-practices/

I made some changes to the legend of your map related to this matter to show this eventual change. What do you think? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Conversion_Therapy_bans_in_Mexico.svg#%7B%7BLangSwitch%7Ces%3DLeyenda%7Cfr%3DL%C3%A9gende%7Cen%3DKey%7D%7D Aleqc (talk) 00:53, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

File:World marriage-equality laws.svg 2

Hi. This is now a text-editable file. Leaving out the Inkscape garbage substantially reduces file size.

BTW, I colored Liecht. green, per the key. If countries should be blue once the legislation is finalized (e.g. a date for legalization is set), then we should reword the key to reflect that. I think that's what we've done in the past, so either way works for me. Kwamikagami (talk) 00:50, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

What do you use to text edit an svg file? I haven't found a reliable answer to this. My opinion is the green is a needless addition to a map that already has a lot of colors on it. Robsalerno (talk) 20:00, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
