Western Australia LGA maps

As always you have a great job with the maps of the local government areas in Western Australia. I have now added maps for Christmas Island and the Cocos islands! They have the same color structure and naming as the other maps. Also I have updated the SVG of the map of the region to note that the administration of both Christmas and Cocos has been transferred from the Department of Transport and Regional Services to the Attorney-General. Hope you like it! Hoshie 07:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Request

Hi! Could you help me? I've got a few maps which I'd require to have Kosovo's new borders introduced in... Could you help me with that? Thanks a lot! —Nightstallion (?) 10:39, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Holy Roman Empire Map

I'm sure I won't be the first person to thank you for producing this fantastic map. I'm trying to use this in ArcGIS, and was wondering if the version online is the most complete available - or do you have a local version based on polygons rather than lines?

Also, any guess as to the projection? Some kind of conic, but unfortunately the original source (or at least the 1970s edition in my library) doesn't include any information about projections. I can try to find it by brute force, but I figured it might be quicker to see if someone had already figured it out... :p


Anyways, thanks again!

--Egw5 00:24, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


Hey Roke! There's a (little) mistake in your great map of the Holy Roman Empire: "Zustnarshausen" (in the west of Augsburg) should be named "Zusmarshausen"... would be great if you could correct this! Thanks a lot, --132.187.169.38 13:19, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Fixed! --Roke 09:29, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

use of image

I would like to obtain a copy of this graphic to be used in a July 4, 2008 celebration on June 29, 2008 at my church, How can this be accomplished. The map is perfect for a celebration of our United States and it is the best I have found. Thanks for your contribution.

Image:F-4 Phantom operators.PNG

Hi there Roke; this image is used to head a list of F-4 Phantom II non-U.S. operators in a Wikipedia article of the same name, but an editor quite rightly remarked that for this purpose the U.S. area should not be coloured green. I wonder if you could fix it for us please? Should you wish to comment please do so on Wikipedia where I have the same user name, or on the article talk page. Many thanks. --Red Sunset 19:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)


Hey Roke, I would like to use your date of statehood graphic in a church July 4th service. It that possible to do that?

Hi, its fine by me if you want to use it. But it is GNU licenced. I am not a copyright expert so I do not know if/how these can be used in public. Cheers, --Roke 02:17, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Omeo map

Hi there,

I notice the map of Omeo you uploaded is incorrectly spelt as 'Omco' in the image title, file history and possibly in the map itself - although the writing is small so it's hard to tell. The wikipedia page it links to is also misspelt. I am referring to the file [[1]].

I'm a little new to Wikipedia (and just signed up to Wikimedia today) so I'm not really sure how to go about correcting the image title.

Please feel free to mention on my talk page anything I may have missed and whether you can fix this (fairly minor) spelling error!

Thanks

Queensland County Map

Hi. I was wondering if you had an SVG or high-res version of the base map used at Image:Canning_Qld.PNG? I am slowly but surely creating all the Queensland county articles, and I'd like to have a locator map for each one if possible. The current version is great, and with my trusty copy of Photoshop I've been able to fake it, but it would be nice to do them "properly" if I can. Thanks! Lankiveil (talk) 05:18, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Olympic Games Countries maps

Both the German and the English wikipedia state that the DPR Korea participated in the 1972 Olympic Games for the first time. Therefore, the DPR Korea should be marked in blue in the 1972 map and should be deleted in the former maps. --84.149.208.51 10:08, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello, sorry for the mistake, fixed now. The 1964 and 1968 olympic museum site list the "Korea, People Rep. " which is meant to mean South Korea. This must be a mistake or a former name for S.Korea? --Roke 04:04, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

South Korea should be displayed in green. 1948 Summer Olympics for the first time in South Korea participated. (Talk to Moo) 06:18, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I did change it, then reverted after I saw w:Korea at the 1948 Summer Olympics. It was the first time South Korea competed. In 1948 Korea competed as a unified country. --Roke 02:57, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Australia history.gif

I like the Australia history.gif file, and I have used it on another language Wikipedia. Now though .gif files are not well supported; it appears fuzzy.

I am no wizard with animated files. If you know of a way to do a version of file in a better supported format that would be good.

Hello, Roke~commonswiki!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Map Projection Used? File:BlankMap-USA-states-Canada-provinces.png

Hi Roke,

I was wondering if you could tell me what projection method/parameters you used to generate this map?

I really like the proportions and would like to generate similar maps for other regions of the world.

Thanks!

Licensing Exception for BlankMap-USA-states-Canada-provinces.png

Hello Roke!

I'd like to use an SVG map created by Lokal Profil in an application I'm assembling for my small start-up company. I believe it is a derivative work of your map, BlankMap-USA-states-Canada-provinces.png.

I'm happy to credit you guys and Wikimedia Commons in my application, but I would like to (eventually) make this application available as a commercial offering. I believe I would need both of you to agree to an exception to the 'share-alike' provisions of the CC-BY-SA license, or for you to allow me use of this image under a separate non-exclusive commercial license.

Lokal has agreed to an exception pending your approval.

In case you're interested, the application I'm building is a data analysis tool for electric utilities. One of the features we've designed renders a thematic map based on the data set the user is looking at (e.g. total smart meters per state/province). At present, the plan is to make the basic features of our application publicly available. Longer term we would be looking to offer a "premium edition" for profit.

I'm a bit of a "starving entrepreneur" at the moment, but I could offer you some small amount of compensation for your efforts. Perhaps more interestingly, if the application takes off I may need similar regional maps for other parts of the world.

Please let me know your thoughts and how we may best get in touch.

(contact by email)

Regards,

---jmh (talk) 06:19, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Fine by me. It was originally GNU and share alike anyway. --Roke 09:34, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Let me at least hook you up with a little something for your effort. I'd like to credit you in our application, too. Reply privately via my email and we'll work out the details.

-jmh (talk) 12:58, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Roke, I would like to use a derivative map for a coloring web demo. Would you mind an exception to the share-alike clause?
