Westray to Papa Westray flight
Request
(I was not sure how I was supposed to fill in the above section, "IMAGE1.EXT")
I would like a map showing the route of the flight featured in this article. (One editor requested a map, and I agree it would help the article.) Wikimedia has a map of Orkney, but even this is too large to show the route of the flight between the two airports. The two islands in the top-center of that image are Westray (larger island to the west) and Papa Westray (smaller, east). The two airports are at the points where the islands are closest together - the northernmost east-facing peninsula on Westray, and a point almost directly east of there on Papa Westray. I don't know if this image can somehow be adapted or if a new image should be created, but I do think the extreme shortness of the route (1.7 km) would be brought home by a good map, maybe yet another inset in the Orkney map? I think it's key to impress upon the viewer that it is very small on the scale of normal air routes. (The runway at Edinburgh Airport is longer than this entire flight.) I think an outline of the two short runways would help illustrate the scale. (I intend to put the map at the top with the lead and remove one of the other images in the article to keep it somewhat balanced.) Thank you! Dcs002 (talk) 03:29, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
I have created something myself based on the CC image (see above). I would appreciate any help making it look nicer, any comments, or any help with how I did the licensing for the upload. I'm not sure how to license an altered CC image. Thanks! Dcs002 (talk) 02:15, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

The flight goes between two islands in Orkney, Scotland: Westray and Papa Westray. At 1.7 miles, it is the shortest scheduled airline flight in the world as of December, 2016.

@Dcs002: The map on the right is not exactly as requested. It uses {{OSM Location map}} so can frame any area of map you need, at various scales, and put symbols and so forth on it, but can't do long lines. On the other hand you do also get a link to a full screen zoom-able pan-able map with the key locations on it. You will see from the edit page that it is quite a chunk of template, so you can copy and paste it into your article if it is useful. RobinLeicester (talk) 00:03, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks so much! I will see what I can do with this. I am completely unfamiliar with this mapping system, but it looks like something with a lot of flexibility and clarity. Thanks!
I would like to keep this open for now in case I have questions about using this type of map, if that's ok? Dcs002 (talk) 23:01, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Chilean expansionism
Request
Please, can someone help me create a map (svg, png, or whichever file format you deem best) of Chile's territorial expansion (see this image [1] for reference). I would like to add it to the "consequences" section of the article on Chilean expansionism. The files listed above are just some examples of the type of map format that could be made; other options can be found at Commons ([2]). Thanks! -- MarshalN20 Talk 05:22, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

@MarshalN20: I'd like to take this request, but I really don't want to just base it off a Wikipedia article as I know nothing about the subject. Can you tell me what year each territory was taken in, and what modern day Chilean state its borders correspond with (if none, I'm going to need some other way of getting a rough idea of its borders). Psiĥedelisto (talk) 12:06, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
@MarshalN20: reping due to my forgotten sig Psiĥedelisto (talk) 12:09, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
Thank you Psiĥedelisto! Looking at the Administrative divisions of Chile, Chile officially acquired the Chiloé Archipelago in 1826, the southern Magallanes Region (see Punta Arenas) in 1843, the northern Magallanes, Strait of Magellan, and Aysén Region in 1881, the Araucanía Region in 1883, the Tarapacá Region in 1883, the Easter Island in 1888, the Antofagasta Region in 1884, the Arica y Parinacota Region in 1929, the Chilean Antarctic Territory in 1940. Perhaps the map at General Captaincy of Chile can also be of help to visualize the expansion. Thanks again!--MarshalN20 ✉🕊 15:16, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
@MarshalN20: No problem! So I thought I'd clue you in on some of my current progress. My workflow is like this, I find a public domain shapefile of what I need, and then I do as much as I can in QGIS and then do the rest in InkScape. For some other maps, like street maps, I sometimes use OpenStreetMap data, but on my end this is considerably more time consuming. This topic is actually quite interesting, you know, I guess I never really thought about how the long skinny country that cuts South America off from the Pacific came into being, but now that I have its shape makes a lot more sense. So right now I've found the shapefiles for the provinces of Chile, now I'm working on getting the shapefile for Chile's slice of Antarctica, then I'll piece it together into a coherent map. Right now I've just got this random rainbow color scheme going on [3], but I'm thinking that I will show the oldest territories in grey and then the Antarctic slice will be red, with the provinces captured in the middle on a gradient from grey to red, and everything labeled. Since we're talking about this huge area here maybe even some lat/long lines, even though I typically leave those out on the maps that I make. I'm going to bed now but if you see this let me know what you think about these ideas. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 15:05, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Fantastic! Yes, Chile's territorial expansion is very interesting. It's a thalassocracy of sorts. I also tried to make a map of this, but was also struggling with the size. At first it might seem as if it is a simple line of sorts, but Easter Island and Antarctica amplify the picture (perhaps there are other ways to include them in the picture without causing too much of a distortion?). Thanks again!--MarshalN20 ✉🕊 22:42, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

@MarshalN20: So, good news and bad news. The good news: I'm really close to finishing this map! The bad news: It looks like the data you've given me is incomplete, or my understanding of it is incomplete, there are unexplained illogical gaps in the map's timeline. Please take a look at this file: [4]. Note that this map is a rough draft just to show you what I mean, and that the labels on the final version won't look like this at all but will instead be separated from the landmasses they represent. Also, the Antarctic "slice" will be labeled properly in the final version, and Magallanes province will be properly split into North and South, and the islands will be represented in pop-out maps using the same legend. So, I realize that everything between the Antofagasta Region and the Araucanía Region are the "original" Chile, but significant areas in the southern portion of the country are unaccounted for as to when they were annexed/assimilated. If you could help me fill in these gaps in the map, it will be ready for your use shortly! Psiĥedelisto (talk) 12:46, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
@Psiĥedelisto: Thank you! The unaccounted southern portions should be dated to the 1881 treaty with Argentina (please see the Boundary Treaty of 1881 between Chile and Argentina). As for the unaccounted area around Chiloe, it seems that the Chiloé Province also held control of the mainland surrounding it, so that should also be considered part of the 1826 acquisition. Regards.--MarshalN20 ✉🕊 16:50, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

@Psiĥedelisto: Nice! Sorry for the delay in responding; I'm currently working on a project about Mexican cinema and gender (and, as a result, have been busy reading). Just a few minor corrections to help with refining the awesome map:
NOM_REG NOM_PROV CLAIMED
Región de Magallanes y Antártica Chilena Tierra del Fuego 1881
Región de Magallanes y Antártica Chilena Antártica Chilena 1881
Región de Los Ríos Valdivia 1820 or no date
Región de Los Ríos Ranco 1820 or no date
Región de Los Lagos Osorno 1820 or no date
The old province of Valdivia was acquired in 1820, after the Chilean assault of the Valdivian Fort System. However, it seems that this territory was deemed by Chile as an integral part of its national territory based on the old borders of the General Captaincy of Chile; maybe having it as a grey area might be the best option. Osorno used to be part of the old Valdivia Province (which is basically most of modern "Region Los Rios"). As for the Magallanes territories, most of them were delimited in the 1881 treaty with Argentina. However, the actual Chilean Antarctic Territory (the territory not in South America) was claimed in 1940. Thanks!--MarshalN20 ✉🕊 05:09, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

This article uses a map of Oslo in the infobox, but the location of Ammerund is shown outside the boundary of the map because that map is actually just the metro area or some portion of Oslo.

Location in Oslo

MB By using {{OSM Location map}} you can put a map such as the one here into the article. It doesn't integrate with the infobox. (If you remove 'Oslo' from the infobox 'pushpin_map=' entry it will remove the one that is there), and then paste this one below the infobox template. With the widths the same it looks well enough. You can use the zoom parameter to change the scale, and the lat and lon figures denote the map centre, so you can include whatever is needed - anywhere in the world. You can cut and paste the template and its parameters, and if you wanted to add in more map features, there are 9 further locator dots/labels available. It is very easy to re-use or adapt it for any other places in the locality. RobinLeicester (talk) 00:37, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Removing the metro routes would be fairly easy, but would leave blank patches. Filling in those blank patches with reconstructions of the streets that may have been there would take too long to jusrify the effort. Maproom (talk) 08:28, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
I have lived in the area for 70 years and have never heard of Peters Hill. Many places are more important than Logan Circle and the numbers and blue boxes have unknown meaning. A full replace would be better, but may not be worth the work. Benjamin Trovato (talk) 00:40, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

The existing map is a poor-quality .gif file. Could you make an SVG with the same information? I suppose you can just take an extant North Carolina SVG, such as the "base map" that I've provided, and add the area-code boundaries and labels. Please do not reproduce all the labels — none of the maps I checked (area code lists for California, Kansas, Ohio, and Virginia) have any labels aside from the area codes' numbers and the names of adjacent states.

@Nyttend: Now that I've helped you, I'm hoping you can help me. If I had not been bitten in December by Kbrose here, it is extremely unlikely you would have had to make this request, as I had plans to replace all area code maps across Wikipedia. I've been waiting for them to respond on that talk page since 16 January, and they've edited elsewhere, so really the response seems to be "I want it this way for my one pet article on my watchlist, and I don't really care if the maps across Wikipedia have any kind of similar scheme". I would appreciate your input on that talk page to help establish consensus for how these maps should look. The whole WP:BOLD, WP:BRD cycle does not work in this case, making these maps is a highly specialist task and I do not see how I can (1) make the maps consistent across Wikipedia (2) please editors like Kbrose. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 13:08, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
Given your re-introduction of the new map into the article, and the lack of a response by Kbrose (either via discussion or via a reversion or modification of your latest edit), I don't see what there is to discuss. Thank you for creating the new map! Nyttend (talk) 02:37, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
@Nyttend: The issue of the black borders is not at all resolved, because many of the telephone area code state maps here on Wikipedia show the area codes of areas outside the state, not just inside, e.g. List of California area codes. The scheme I've been using on NJ and NC won't work in this case, because everything outside the state is one color. This question was written twice on that talk page, including in bold towards the bottom. This is not just about the 609 page, but about making the maps coherent across Wikipedia, like I said on Talk:Area code 609. I'm beginning to question my own sanity given that with your quick dismissal, two editors have overlooked this question when asked about it. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 15:11, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
My apology — somehow I completely missed the fact that Kbose had replied in that discussion. Nyttend (talk) 15:39, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
@Nyttend: No problem. See also Talk:Area_code_252#Map_dispute_.C3.A0_la_Area_code_609 and [6]—Kbrose's disruption continues. Same MO as usual, no discussion, no attempt at some kind of middle ground via, for example, {{CSS image crop}}, just vague edit summaries alluding to a "proper dimension" (that is, any map that is not mine). What do you think of an RFC? Now that I've been on Wikipedia a little bit longer, I think that actually Kbrose should not be able to hold up improvements for a large number of articles just with his disruptive editing, and we should try to seek consensus for the style of unified SVG area code maps via RFC process, after which I can make them.

Major Cultural Spheres and the Clash of Civilisations - It's a mess, and I am partially responsible. :-(

Article(s)
MCS.svg, the graphic i made is widely used, for example in Global governance, the template Template:World government and the dozens of pages the template is used in.
Request
I made MCS.svg in 2014 (when my username was DLommes) as SVG replacement for a widely used PNG graphic, which is MCS.png. After some away-time from commons i noticed Commons:Deletion requests/File:Major-Cultural-spheres.svg, where someone nominated the graphic for deletion. The request was rejected. The point is, looking into it, I kind of agree with the person, the graphic is "based on a single individual's fantasy, reductionist and with obvious inaccuracies". So I looked into it. It seems the graphic is converted to SVG (MCS.png) was itself based on KDE.png, a graphic from the German Wikipedia, created in 2004. This graphic has an attribution, namely the book Clash_of_Civilizations by Sam Huntington (a book I thoroughly dislike, by the way). The Wikipedia page for this book has another graphic, which is only very slightly different from mine, CCM.png - which needs an SVG replacement, as per tag......

So I am basically here asking for advice. What are we supposed to do here? I can do the graphics stuff myself, but I am unsure on how to proceed, and also not sure if I am impartial as to the matter. I made the graphic, and I hate the book. Can someone please give me some advice? -- Lommes (talk) 03:45, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)
  • @Lommes: There are a lot of bad graphics on Commons. I totally agree with you and the nominator, but I think it was right not to delete it, because just because a graphic is bad/misleading/based-on-a-terrible-racist book it doesn't mean it won't be useful (e.g. to illustrate the article on said terrible racist book). Similarly I don't see how we can improve these maps because (unfortunately) that book does exist and (unfortunately) that is what it says. The issue seems to be more of an editorial one here on en-wiki, i.e. the use of the graphic in inappropriate places. In that case I'd advise simply removing it from articles with the rationale you've given here. You could also update the descriptions of the images on Commons to make it clear that these are, as the IP editor over on Commons so eloquently put it, "based on a single individual's fantasy, reductionist and with obvious inaccuracies" and not a general purpose map. – Joe (talk) 20:17, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
@Joe Roe: thank you very much. but the problem is not that it is used to illustrate the article on the book, but it is (a) modified from what the book says, and (b) used on a great number of other articles, and it is used in the template for Global Governance, where noone will even suspect any connection to the book... Do you think I should merge the graphics (I mean MCS.svg and CCM.png)? This way, at it is based on the book (and not an arbitrary modification), plus those who click through to Commons will know that it is based on the book...--Lommes (talk) 20:30, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
