Article(s): City of Darwin The graphics folks of the de-WP created the subdivision map for Darwin, Northern Territory. However, there are no articles in the de-WP for individual suburbs of Darwin in the de-WP yet, so a request for the creation of individual locator maps on this basis won't be honored there.
Request: Please make 41 locator maps, one for each of the 41 individual suburbs, by highlighting the respective suburb in a bright color, to be used in the individual suburb articles:
Chan Ward | Lyons Ward | Richardson Ward | Waters Ward |

Article(s): Union for the Mediterranean
Request: Change the colour of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Israel, Monaco, Montenegro and Turkey to a third colour (maybe yellow or red?), so blue can be for EU countries and dark green for Arab League states. Right now, the dark green makes Albania, Croatia etc look like they are Arabic countries. Libya, in stripes, should stay as it is. Thanks, YeshuaDavid • Talk • 14:14, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): So if I see this correctly, the map currently has two colour categories (member states that are EU members, and member states that aren't) plus a shade for observers (only Libya, which is not a member of the EU, and therefore green). There is a different categorization; the Arab League. Many of the non-EU members in the Mediterranean Union are members of the Arab League. Yet although the article at Union_for_the_Mediterranean#Members gives Arab League flags for some countries in the same position as the EU flags, the Arab League does not seem to be involved in the Mediterranean Union, at least not in the way the EU (financially) is. Is that correct? Moreover, it only makes sense to use different (non-shaded) colours if memberships are exclusive; couldn't a country be in theory both a member of the EU and of the Arab League? In short, I think changing the legend to reflect the division EU/non-EU members more clearly makes more sense than adjusting the map - even though doing so would be quite easy.

Request: Hi!! I was wondering if you could produce a set of decent svg blank maps of Indian states in the style of File:Pakistan location map.svg but for the states. You see, the maps of Indian states are generally of a poor standard and are too colorful for push pin and we definitely need standardised replacements. Also is there any chance you could create a svg map of Russia like File:Pakistan location map.svg? Himalayan 15:37, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I'm hoping to make a map of the route of the Keystone Pipeline currently under construction. The pipeline runs through several Canadian provinces and US states, so I need a blank map that contains both of these. Unfortunately the only one I can find is this one, which is huge and gives me strange rendering problems in inkscape. Does anyone know if there is a blank map somewhere that shows US and Canadian states/provinces but isn't so detailed? Thanks a lot. TastyCakes ( talk) 21:21, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Article(s): Northern California, Southern California, and Template:WikiProject California
Request: The two article and the template use crops of the initial jpeg map. I tried coloring in an existing SVG map, but am having an issue with the fonts no longer staying in place. In addition to the coloring I duplicated individual county images, cropped and recolored borders, then overlaid to get coastal counties to have different boundaries. An export from within Illustrator to PNG appears normal, but something needs tweaking in the SVG. I was hoping someone could let me know what I need to adjust to return the fonts to normal, and any other issues I need to address. I was planning to eventually use File:Map of USA with state names.svg to get a similar image with the other states and Mexico to match the initial image. Any help would be appreciated. - Optigan13 ( talk) 08:26, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

We need this map since we have many articles relating to Beirutine venues In Wikipedia:WikiProject Lebanon and we cannot use the sole Locator map in our wikiproject for this end (we only have a map of Lenbanon).

Article(s): Sassanid Empire and many others related to it, such as Roman-Persian Wars
Request: Based on several users' requests at Talk:Sassanid Empire to replace the current, grossly inaccurate map of the Empire's extent by a new accurate map. Since maximum-extent maps seem to be favoured, two different maps, for the 270s (when the Sassanids reached their maximum extent in Central Asia) and for 620 (when they reached their maximum success against the Byzantines) should be created. Sources: 620, 270, overall extent & influence. The map on the 270s should include Mesopotamia as fully Sassanid. The map for 620 should include the territories east of the 5th-6th century Byzantine border as fully Persian, and Syria, Palestine, Egypt and eastern Anatolia shaded (under occupation), as in the example given above. Ideally, the base map should be topographic. For any further questions, please contact me. Regards, Constantine ✍ 17:03, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

I can help, but I cannot do the graphics parts. Even a general map showing the boundaries and neighboring states would help, since the concept of "electorate" was different in 1585 than it is now.

There is no basis image but using http://www.openstreetmap.org/ of Washington, DC with the data points from the Google Map at http://www.dccirculator.com/ (where we go menu, system map) could make a decent map with all free sources or some modifications could be made to their official PDF which unfortunately is not released under any license. The map should probably be simplified but I think this would be useful since this is a heavily used service and important part of the DC transit system. Possibly a "full map version" and a "simplified easy to see with landmarks version could be used. I'd like a graphists opinion at least :) gren グレン 23:45, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

For these, I want a map of the area which is compatible with {{ location map}} (and subtemplates) on which I can plot various items for different articles/sections (i.e. where the rafts were found, location of the wrecks, etc).
File:Western Australia location map.png is too "zoomed out" for what I need, and many of the coordinates are off the left (ocean) edge of the map. Can someone generate a map of the Carnarvon- Shark Bay area, with a bit of sea room on the left edge, which is compatible with "location map"? A list of coordinates relevant to this map can be found here. Thanks in advance. -- saberwyn 23:34, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
I have uploaded File:Shark Bay location map.png. By simple interpolation, I reckon the co-ordinates for your {{ Location map wherever}} are: top=-23.182321, bottom=-26.942253, left=109.990368, right=114.428595. The change of scale has made it look rather jagged, but it has more detail than any free SVG of the area I can find. Feel free to remove the inset (or ask me to) if it is unhelpful or gets in the way of the dots' legends. Certes ( talk) 11:22, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
Alternatively, we could start with one of the maps in the Shark Bay article, but I don't think the colours and projections they use are standard for location maps, and they may not extend quite far enough north. Certes ( talk) 11:29, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Article(s): Poesten Kill (yes, redlink), currently at User:UpstateNYer/Poesten Kill
Request: I've begun an article on a local creek and would like to see a map of its course added in the article. The creek is fully contained within Rensselaer County, starting at Dyken Pond ( 42°43′2.77″N 73°25′40.58″W / 42.7174361°N 73.4279389°W) and ending at the Hudson River in Troy, New York ( 42°43′14.6″N 73°41′54.02″W / 42.720722°N 73.6983389°W). I've noticed that the creek is well mapped by the USGS on their topo maps (if the link works, it's here). The topo maps also clearly depict the Poesten Kill's main tributaries: Bonesteel Creek, the Quaken Kill, and Sweet Milk Creek.
