Distribution map of Hallstatt culture in ancient Europe

Stale

 – DyceBot (talk) 07:01, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

• 
  Distribution of Hallstatt culture in ancient Europe, per 2001 reference (see file).

Article(s): Hallstatt culture

Request: Upon encountering the above article, I noticed the absence of any map. Upon checking the talkpage, I found reference to the need to update the previously utilised maps. In the time available to me, I did a search via Google books and found a reference for a map portraying the distribution of Hallstatt culture in ancient Europe, which I provided (see above talkpage link). Is it possible to utilise this reference to create an updated version of the map above. I wouldn't advocate altering the above map itself - it is a time-dated reference and thus can be utilised for other purposes. I'm presuming one could take the existing map, copy it, and edit it to incorporate the relevant information from the reference provided. That however is not my area of expertise.

A ref

Another editor suggested taking Piggot's map and augmenting it: "In figure 6 here Gamito has a nice map of Hallstatt stamped pottery distibution and mentions in detail areas of Portugal and Spain as well as Cornwall and western Britain which are not on Piggot's map in the text on the left of the map and in the timelines and maps above this figure which deal with the Iberian peninsula in relation to Hallstatt settlement or cultural expansion. I would say take Piggot's map as a base and augment it with the archaelogical evidence distribution in Gamito's work - requires only a slight extension in Iberia and Britain and maybe Italy too I'd say from her text" (see above talk page link).

• Explanation to not-Russian-speaking users (in fact, resume of the discussion in ru-wiki): there's an unclear (at least for me) court decision that the creation of an indepedent work on the basis of the same cartographical information isn't a copyright violation. (Суд признал, что не является нарушением прав истца – обладателя исключительных прав на творчески созданное картографическое произведение – создание на основе той же исходной информации самостоятельного произведения.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ain92 (talk • contribs) 17:51, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): Что надо сделать с этим файлом? Вектор, или че? А! Я нашла что вы уже попросили вектор в русской графической мастерской: [1] Слушайте, сделать вектор карты не снимает претензий по авторскому праву; карта таже самая остаётся, только в другом формате. Копирайт на ней будет тот же. Бесплатную карту надо либо найти, либо сделать из какого нибудь описания. -MissMJ (talk) 21:28, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

  Range of Black Rhinoceros

Article(s): Black Rhinoceros

Request: The Western Black Rhinoceros was recently declared extinct. Therefore, Cameroon needs to be noted as such. I would suggest making Cameroon black, meaning extinct, to distinguish from orange (Mozambique), meaning possibly extinct. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 00:40, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):  Request taken by Edoarado.  Done I have replaced the bitmap version with a vectorial one (Black Rhinoceros area.svg), more easily editable, but the Black Rhinoceros article is semiprotected, so I could not update the link to the vectorial file.

Indian states and territories SVG map refactoring and clickability

Resolved

• 
  States and territories of India.
• 
  Homologue at Australia.

Article(s): India (15th in page views on WP)

Request: Several points:

• Map page says "The source code of this SVG is invalid".
• Ugly pastel colours. Would prefer it to resemble {{Australia states imagemap}}. Graphist should feel free to apply their full aesthetic judgement to render the most professional possible feel. Some of the best India mapwork to date has been done by Planemad (talk · contribs).
• Is making it clickable like {{Australia states imagemap}} feasible? Any automated way to render the polygon coords? Would be truly excellent and encyclopedic to be able to click oceans, seas, mountain ranges, etc. like in the Australia version.
• Thank you! saravask 14:08, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

I don't know how to make clickable SVG-maps. There is a program out there which promises to do just that: [5] but that program crashed too many times for me. Wereldburger758 (talk) 06:01, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

• I just tried it on OS X. Didn't crash, but didn't output a proper coordinate file either. Probably because Nichalp's map is corrupted, because it outputs fine for the enclosed "example.svg" file.
• Can the map svg code be fixed? That is the primary issue. The request for the clickable map was secondary. After it is fixed, then people can do whatever else they want with it: colours, imagemap, etc. Saravask 02:31, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

The map uses the Sans-font and that is not on the list of supported fonts: [6]. That could be the problem. Wereldburger758 (talk) 06:52, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. I learned from Planemad (talk · contribs) that he will like release a new series of India svg maps soon, probably making my request irrelevant. I'm eager to see them. Hopefully he'll use only supported fonts. Saravask 23:43, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Request: PhnomPencil (talk · contribs) (knowingly or not) answered/solved a previous map request by creating {{Indian States Image Map}}. It is great except for the issue discussed at Talk:India/Archive_36#Request_from_an_anon.

Graphist opinion(s): I fixed the SVG, edits probably need to be made to the template as well if you want Goa to be clickable. Kmusser (talk) 04:37, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
