The Full Size of Tibet

Article(s): List of active separatist movements in Asia

Request:

The Tibet shown on the map of independence movements in China is just the Autonomous Region, Tibet was historically much bigger than this, but the rest of it has been incorporated into other Chinese provinces. Please change this map so that it shows the whole of historical Tibet, based on the map found on the page http://www.tibetnetwork.org/tibet-at-a-glance/ and the other maps I have placed here.

Graphist opinion(s): Nothing in Category:Maps of Tibet will do? Kmusser (talk) 02:21, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have a map of China made in Sweden in the 1930s, Tibet it shows is something average between the modern autonomous region and Tibetan nationalists' claims. Probably it is the most neutral point of view. Hellerick (talk) 04:41, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This map is supposed to show areas of China that have independence movements, so the whole of the area that was Tibet should be shown, since all of it is claimed by the Tibetan independence movement. All foreign organizations (e.g. Free Tibet, Friends of Tibet that support Tibet will back up the claims of that movement that all that land is theirs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.50.194.126 (talk) 09:28, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Description of the battle of Lesnaya

Article(s): Battle of Lesnaya, Great Northern War, Adam Ludwig Lewenhaupt etc.

Request:

The article of the battle of Lesnaya is in great need of a map description of the battle, as different "locations" and "key-points" are described in the text but none available map can be found to support these. There's a map here which could be very useful for increased quality of the article. However, I'm probably not allowed to publish it here on Wikipedia due to its copyrights. What I'm asking is if anyone would be happy to help me make this map wiki-styled, to use in the following articles; Battle of Lesnaya, Great Northern War, Adam Ludwig Lewenhaupt etc. The map was first published in the book "Vägen till Poltava" (Swedish).

I would be grateful if someone can come up with an SVG version of the map above.

It is perfect! I can always change the colours if needed (unlikely they look ok to me).

Updates to File:Ir2011map2.png

Resolved

Article(s): Israel Railways and others

Request:

Can someone please create an updated map of the Israel Railways system? File:Ir2011map2.png can serve as a basis for it. The necessary changes are:

The "Yavne" station on the Ashkelon-Binyamina line (blue on the current map) should be called "Yavne East"
The Yavne West-Hod HaSharon line (red on the current map) needs to be extended to the Ashdod and Ashkelon stations.
The HaRishonim-Tel Aviv line (purple on the current map) needs to be extended to the Tel Aviv Savidor Central station.
The use of the colors on the original map has no basis in reality - it should probably be changed for copyright reasons.

The official map of Israel Railways, which includes the English names for the stations, can be found at http://www.rail.co.il/HE/Tickets/Map/Pages/map.aspx - so you can see that the information I gave you is correct. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 16:11, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Question: (1) You said Tel Aviv Savidor Central but both maps refer to it as Tel Aviv Savidor Center. I'll take it the maps are correct and you made a typo?

Question: (2) Why is there an un-named station marker between Ben Gurion Airport and Paatei Modi'in on the png (not on the map on the official site)?

and

Request taken. - I'll re-draw this as an svg and make your amendments, probably finish it in a day or so. Begoon ^talk 16:37, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, "Savidor Center" is right - I misremembered the translation when I wrote this up. (Either way, in Hebrew it's Merkaz).
The unmarked station is probably a mistake - there is no station there. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 17:07, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Great - thanks for the quick answers - it's late here, so I'll start it tomorrow - should be pretty straightforward. Cheers. Begoon ^talk 17:11, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done: Ok - done as File:Israel Railways map 2013.svg. Because I completely redrew it I retyped all the station names, so I'd be very grateful if you could give it a good look over/proofread and let me know if I made any errors or typos. I left the colours as they were, but if you really want to change them, specify some new ones and I'll alter them.

The type for the station names is created as "paths" (shapes) to prevent any potential rendering errors with rsvg and fonts, but for future editing the basic type is contained in a hidden svg layer. Font is Helvetica Regular 13pt, and rotation for the "angled" names is +/- 35 degrees. Cheers. Begoon ^talk 13:04, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You did make one mistake - the station immediately south of "Lod" on the purple and blue lines is supposed to be "Be'er Ya'akov", not "Lod Ganei Aviv". עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:01, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Heh... Thanks, and now it's corrected. That's because I copy/pasted the label from above, went to the article to get the name with the correct punctuation, and never pasted it in

. I knew it would be worth a proofread - always easier done by someone else. Cheers. Begoon ^talk 14:34, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Something like this should work, using this template: {{Location map}}. This is the code I added to this section to produce the map you see:

See the details at the linked template for details of how you can tweak it by supplying parameters etc.
(The background=#FEFEE9 parameter I used just gives the label the yellow map background colour, to "knock out" the county borders etc. for legibility.) Begoon ^talk 15:32, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
