The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages:
Illustrations,
Photographs and
Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages:
Talk:Graphics Lab,
Talk:Illustrations,
Talk:Photographs and
Talk:Maps. This specific page is the requests page for the Map workshop. Anyone can make a request for a map to be created or improved for a Wikipedia article. The standard format for making a request is shown below, along with general advice, and should be followed.
You are encouraged to share information and request advice from others. Also see
possible conventions toolbox,
map tutorials and
topographic map tutorials.
Advice to requesters
What do we do?
Location maps
Area maps (animals, languages, empires, etc.)
Historical and conflict related maps
Battle maps
Technical maps (archaeology, city closeups, etc.)
Sourced requests: If possible, please try to provide a reliable source to create a map. This includes a map already on Wikipedia with a reliable source or an external link.
Please check: Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed.
Direct collaboration: Some mapmakers are especially interested by one topic area. If you notice a mapmaker fitting your needs, consider asking on their personal talk page to request maps.
{{Reqmap}}: To request a map, you can also tag the talk page of the article in need of a map with or {{Reqmapin|Australia}} (articles then appear in
Category:Wikipedia requested maps)
If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.
Advice to Graphists
If you have completed work and not received a reply you may use the {{GL Map reply}} template to inform the requester.
Map makers and other visitors to the Graphics Lab may be interested in the RSS feed of changes to this page. You may find it here.

we can use that and make a new svg version of the one you want.
To edit the present png file like you want is hard and for the future a svg version is so much better and easier to edit. --always ping me--

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people cannot, because modern web browsers removed support for Adobe Flash many years ago now.

@
Kaiyr I just want you to know I'm working on it but I have also been trying to find a vector map down to tehsils. I have now found a dataset which I'm converting to a usable svg which I can upload as a base map with the three different levels. We can then use that for your request and for future usage. So it will take some more time. --always ping me--

.So @
Kaiyr I now have a draft for you for the basemap down to tehsils.
----
Those drafts are PNG versions of the original SVG file I'm working in and will upload to commons.
Those drafts are shown for proofreading only.
----
The colors are picked so that they work for most people even with color deficiencies.
So check this basemap and let me know if it will work for you or what to edit,
Draft basemap-1. --always ping me--

Goran tek-en (

@
Kaiyr I haven't got any feedback so now I have uploaded the basemap down to tehsils which can be used to create other maps, as I will use it to do your request here now.
@
Kaiyr I just want you to know I am working on your request. Your source map and the background map I'm using does not line up, also the tehsils are different in those maps and your source map has even smaller divisions in it. All of this makes it rather complex, difficult and circumstantial to create the svg map. But I have gotten a good bit on it and will continue, thanks for your patience. --always ping me--

Create a map of Canadian provinces with
New Brunswick and
Saskatchewan in color because they have laws that requires parental consent when students under the age of 16 wish to change their names or pronouns related to gender expression while at school.
Discussion
Alberta Premier
Danielle Smith has announced plans that will require
parental consent when students under 15 years old. Alberta could be colored in orange (For incoming law) while
New Brunswick and
Saskatchewan can be colored in red (because its the law of the land).
Are you after a map where only those two provinces are coloured? If so, please suggest a name for it and provide the necessary information for Commons (description, categories and structured data).
M.Bitton (

You can do two of the provinces yes, it could be called Pronouns laws in Canadian Schools By province. I don't know what that means necessary information for Commons (description, categories and structured data). The description could be like the title Pronouns laws in Canadian Schools By province, I don't know what categories or structured data means??? Sorry, can you tell me more.

M.Bitton (

@
M.Bitton: Do they have a video that can explain it?, Do I have to download the
base map and color it or what? I just don't understnd it. On the
the instructions it has on the last section says Provinces and territories and some unique id numbers with it. do I put?, how do I put those unique id numbers on the base map. So many things I don't understand with this. I don't think it would be possible for me creating it myself. I think its better to leave it to a professional.

Vectorise, and replace "Grenzfestlegung 1776" with "Boundary of 1776". It's apparently not an exact translation of the German, but it gets the point across. Note that several letters are overlaid on coastlines; you may have an easier time combining
File:Haiti location map.svg and
File:Dominican Republic location map.svg, deleting the current boundary, adding the 1776 boundary, and putting some text on. --

Note for anyone possibly taking this request,
this seems to be a more accurate boundary. –

In 2019 the Philippines divided its waters into 12 "Fisheries Management areas", covering both its territorial waters and its exclusive economic zone. There are some good maps of the original 12 out there
eg. and
eg., but not to my knowledge one on Wikipedia. I am not even sure we have an svg of the EEZ, the standard image we use is the png above. One interesting note on that png is it includes the
Benham Rise, which was annexed after the creation of the FMAs. Supposedly this area
got its own FMA, and while I can't find a map of that or the primary legislatoin it likely should be
labelled separately, perhaps as "Philippine Rise". An svg would be best due to this, for easy modification of the label. As for the original 12, the legislation is
Fisheries Administrative Order 263 which includes the precise borders of all 12 areas by latitude and longitude.

Request - Greeneville in Greene Co in Tennessee Reply
Hoping for a map that shows the location of Greeneville within Greene County, but that also puts Greene County's location in East Tennessee and nearby states (namely Virginia and North Carolina), to be illustrative for people who may be unfamiliar with American geography. Might want to include
Knoxville and
Parrotsville as well, as other key cities in Dolly's bio. TY! --
