Maps

Feel free to run the bot by any Mississippi city and county article! They look great! I'm slowly resurrecting WikiProject Mississippi and just created Portal:Mississippi - and I figure by the time I get done tagging all Mississippi related articles with the WP Mississippi tag, I'll be ready for maps in about a year or 2! You might want to consider having the bot do something about the ugly maps in county box templates too. For an example of the bland ugliness, see Template:Hinds County, Mississippi lol Good job with the maps, I've been noticing them. -- ALLSTAR ECHO 03:57, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Further, I was looking over a couple of Mississippi city articles and noticed that although ArkyBot's progress log says Mississippi is complete, several of the cities weren't touched. I'm assuming this is because they use the Geobox template instead of the Settlement template? If so, and I change the templates (as I just did at Clinton, Mississippi), will ArkyBot automatically go back and fill in the missing info? -- ALLSTAR ECHO 04:40, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, ArkyBot will skip articles that do not have the Settlement template. CapitalBot was able to get most of those done but there were a few that were skipped for some reason. In any case, my bot is keeping a log of all the articles it passes over, and when it's done I'll go through that list (which hopefully will have been completed by then) and manually update the maps if necessary :) As far as the county maps go, I have versions of those as well (they are essentially the same as the city maps, just without highlighting) and I can upload those after the cities, as well. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 13:30, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

OK. Well, whenever you get a chance, run the bot by Clinton, Mississippi so the Settelment box don't look like mess and gets removed by another user. I'd appreciate that. -- ALLSTAR ECHO 23:45, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Request for map generation info

I noticed that your bot is currently running through Nebraska municipalities. There's been a handful of boundary changes since 2000 (mostly in/around the Omaha and Lincoln metropolitan areas), and I'd like to learn how to create these maps myself. If you could provide a description of the map generation process (or provide a link to where I can find such information), it would be greatly appreciated. – Swid ^{(talk · edits)} 23:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

• The map generation process is a script I have written that utilizes geographic boundary files provided by the US Census Bureau to produce the maps. Unfortunately these boundary files are updated only when the Census is performed, and no updated boundary files since 2000 exist. As a result, it is impossible to incorporate information regarding annexations/boundary changes into the map generation process. However, feel free to manually edit the maps to reflect updated boundaries, if you choose. A good, free utility for editing the SVG files that I produce is Inkscape. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 23:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

New Jersey maps

I wanted to thank you for your Infobox bot, which has done much of the hard work I had been doing by hand rather tediously. I saw that you've started updating maps by county, and I wanted to express some concerns about the new maps: 1) The older maps showed a much larger county map, with a much smaller inset of the county's location within the state, losing some detail in the process. 2) The colors and title of the maps imply that there is unincorporated land, showing Townships in white and other municipalities in gray. Every square inch of New Jersey is incorporated, and all 566 municipalities -- be they Borough, City, Town, Township or Village -- operate as independent units of government (or minor civil divisions as the Census Bureau calls them; e.g. there are no villages within a township or other such scenarios in New Jersey. 3) Some of the maps (esp. for Monmouth County) had provided a lot more detail on roads and bodies of water, while the new maps show only municipal boundaries. I hope I can ask for your assistance in addressing these issues, and suggest that you approach WP:NJ as a forum before proceeding further with these changes. Alansohn 02:58, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Ahh, I was unaware that all of New Jersey was incorporated. I had been skipping New England areas due to just that problem but was misinformed about the status of incorporated areas in New Jersey. As the bot has processed most of the state already, it would probably be a simpler solution for me to re-do the maps rather than revert the changes and then re-do them down the road. As a stopgap measure, I could have the bot redraw all of the maps tomorrow (and change the scale of the inset to show more detail within the county itself) to show all of the land as being incorporated (grey). I won't be able to do that until tomorrow, however. If there are any maps that you felt were superior to the new ones (because of showing roadways/waterways/etc) then by all means restore any that you feel are better off with the old style. It's difficult for me to approach these on a case-by-case scenario (over 10,000 maps so far and I'm not even half done with the country) and I apologize for any inconvenience it's causing for you, I'll be sure and see what I can do to help the situation tomorrow. Thanks for alerting me. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 03:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Note, I've also halted the bot's progress in New Jersey so it won't work on the remainder of the articles until the issue is resolved. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 03:20, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

• I agree that redrawing the maps would address the issue, although the names of the images imply that there are unincorporated portions of the state, which might argue for a rename. I have asked for additional input, but I see the redraw as a reasonable stop gap. Thanks for the reply. Alansohn 04:08, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

• I've updated the maps with a reduced state inset (at least 50% smaller) and altered it to display all townships as incorporated areas. Let me know what you think. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 19:00, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Fulton County, Georgia maps missing new cities

Your maps really look great and very clear, and they are a welcome addition to Wikipedia! However I did notice that the maps of this county are missing the grey shading for the new cities of Sandy Springs, Milton, and Johns Creek. Since they all have their city limits at existing boundaries (meaning they could simply be filled if they were raster instead of vector), could you set your script to fix all of the maps for this county?

A big map plan/request

Ever since I first saw your amazing maps, I've wanted to map some more obscure locations, like unincorporated towns, onto them. The problem has been that I wasn't sure until now of how to do that. But today I discovered that there are templates that hold the lat/long coordinates of maps in equirectangular projection. If your maps are of this type, and I imagine they are, I have two requests:

1. (This is the easy part) Could you please create blank maps (just like what you've done, but with nothing highlighted in red) for all of the counties you've made maps for so far? Or at least all the counties in Colorado to start? This might be useful in any case to place on the county pages.
2. Could you possibly create location map templates, a la Template:Location map Colorado, for each such county? E.g. Could you create Template:Location map El Paso County, Colorado for El Paso County, and so forth?

Thanks! -- Ken g6 00:01, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually the maps use an Albers projection which is conic, so I am not sure of how useful they will be to you as location maps. I do have the blank county maps, none of them have been uploaded however. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 17:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

OK. For now I'll stick with the Colorado state template. Maybe someday through I'll delve into the math to place dots on those maps. Thanks! -- Ken g6 17:09, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

New York has been pretty far behind the curve on locator maps. I've seen the spectacular maps you've done for other states.

The city annexed additional territory in September and I wished to add it but am not technically experienced enough in this area to feel confident in doing it myself. I'm going to attempt your advice from above anyway and download Inkscape. Wish me luck and thanks again. Altairisfar 19:58, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Old Dog, New Tricks

I've been trying to figure out how to use Census data to make a map. Specifically, I want to make a map of the city I live in (Villa Rica, Georgia) and its surrounding area and then add locations of the gold mines that existed here back in the 1800s. A similar map already exists here but I do not have permission to use it. Besides, I've seen the excellent maps your bot produces and I'd like to try my hand at it.

I've read lots of pages on map making here on Wikipedia but it all just leaves me baffled. There seems to be a disconnect between what needs to be done and how to actually do it. For instance, I've download Inkscape and I found the U.S. Census Bureau's Cartographic Boundary Files but there must be a step inbetween because Inkscape can't import the file types listed by the Census Bureau. I also stopped by Inkscapeforum.com but could find anything helpful their either.

I don't mind learning but I hate reinventing the wheel so if you can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Optimistmb (talk) 02:05, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

• Columbus
• Toledo
• Akron
• Canton
• Mansfield, your maps would be better then the geo maps

Some of the cities in Ohio like Cincinnati and Cleveland already have those kind of maps in their infobox. If that happens to be so on these Ohio cities, feel free to do that for me.

Response to Pinal County Maps

Hey Arkyan.

The Pinal County maps were a real pain in the rectum because as far as I have been able to find, there was no really "comprehensive" county-level map showing all of the municipalities in Pinal County. Upon looking at that .pdf originally, I noticed the same thing, but just to be sure, I did a print-screen and pasted the image into Photoshop and eye-dropped the colors. It turns out that the key color for "Corridor Mix" is not the same as the color (not shown in the key) for the incorporated areas. The only area where I could find that "Corridor Mix" brown being used was a small strip along I-10 by Casa Grande. By comparing the unlabeled brown to the map data for Queen Creek and Apache Junction, and by assuming that the county-level planning and zoning department would have no hand in the land incorporated into the cities, I figured that that unlabeled brown must represent the incorporated land in the county. Believe me, I tried looking for something a little less ambiguous in that regard.

I was actually planning on redoing these maps sometime soon, since the overlapping planning areas was bugging the ever-living snot out of me, too. It is just a bit time-consuming to go through and download all the differing .pdf files, stitch them together into a working pastiche of GIS goodness, and vectorize it all into a pretty form. I'm sure one of these Saturdays when I am particularly bored, I will be sure to get to it.

I hope I could answer your questions.

Maps of Lauderdale County, MS

Hi, Arkyan. First off, I'd like to say you've done a wonderful job with all the maps of various locations. I do have a complaint, though. All the maps of Lauderdale County, MS depict the city of Meridian incorrectly. In 2006, Meridian annexed a ~9 square mile area to the north and east of its former boundaries. This page, though old (the annexation has already occurred, but the page is written in the future tense), contains a link to a pdf of the annexations. The blue areas were added to the city limits (red striped area was denied), but they don't appear in any of your Lauderdale County maps. Also, the map shows an addition to Marion. Is there any way to correct this on all the maps? If you don't feel like doing it/don't have the time to do it, I'd be willing to do it if you'd give me some information as to how.

Question regarding map updates

From what I understand, your maps are generated from data released from the Census Bureau, data which appears to be tied to the decennial census (the "real" censuses). How difficult will it be to re-do the maps when the 2010 census data is released? (For that matter, when is that data expected to be released?) A number of the cities on my watchlist have been busily annexing all of the surrounding areas, and it'd be nice to have the new maps shortly after the data is released. I realize that we are talking about something that is at least two or three years off, but I'm just curious about what is involved in the process. BTW, I'm not a bot operator, so please use small words if you have to explain bot functions. (grin) Horologium (talk) 13:50, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

You closed the DRV for List of Magic: The Gathering keywords as overturn to no consensus and restored the article, but you forgot to also restore Template:MTGkeywordsTOC, which was deleted since the list is the only article that uses it. If you wouldn't mind restoring the template too, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 02:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Quick and to the point: could you restore the talk page too? -- Y|yukichigai (_ramble argue ^check) 06:44, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
