you should be able to just copy Template:Location map India Delhi to Template:Location map India Kolkata, and update it with the Kolkata image and border coordinates. Frietjes (talk) 14:39, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the input Frietjes but that's not the way to do it. Use of Location Templates is now deprecated - they have to be created with Lua modules. I'm almost there in fact with the Lua stuff, just need to tweak the boundary coords.  Philg88 ^♦talk 16:33, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Sri Lankan provinces location maps

Jaffna

Jaffna (Northern Province)

Request:

Currently all location maps of Sri Lanka show the entire country. I would like to request individual location maps of Sri Lankan provinces, the first level administrative divisions of Sri Lanka, similar to File:USA California location map.svg, File:Australia New South Wales location map.svg. The only detail I require are boundaries of districts and DS divisions, the second and third level administrative divisions of Sri Lanka. A map showing the boundaries of districts and DS divisions is available here. There are nine provinces - if this is too many, could I request location maps for Northern Province and Eastern Province to start with. The maps will, if created, replace the countrywide location maps currently used on all Sri Lankan settlement articles. Thank you. -- obi2canibe^{talk contr} 18:08, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

Comment That's an awful lot of work and involves quite a few maps. When you say locator maps, do you mean ones that use {{coord}} or ones where the individual districts/and DS divisions are highlighted?  Philg88 ^♦talk 18:26, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

I meant to say location maps, ones that use {{coord}}.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 18:33, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

No problem, let me take a look and I'll get back to you.  Philg88 ^♦talk 18:57, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

@Obi2canibe: Here is a draft for Northern Province showing Jaffna via {{coord}}. I will wait for your comments before doing any others. Cheers,  Philg88 ^♦talk 06:37, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Phil, it's a great start. If I could make a few suggestions?

• Could the colour scheme be the same as File:USA California location map.svg?
• Could the gridlines, co-ordinates and ruler be removed?
• For the Northern Province map, could the map showing the location of the province within Sri Lanka be moved from bottom right to top right? This would reduce the amount of redundant space at the bottom of the map.

--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 13:08, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

@Obi2canibe: Yes, yes and yes. Is that what you wanted? Cheers,  Philg88 ^♦talk 05:21, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Perfect, thank you. There's no rush to do the other provinces - as and when you have time.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 11:07, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

You're welcome. I'll continue with the others over the next week or so.  Philg88 ^♦talk 16:04, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

@Obi2canibe: I'm afraid I've hit a problem with the remainder of these maps. Outside of Northern Province, OpenStreetMap does not have any geocordinate data for the remaining provinces. I have tried to find alternative sources but have so far drawn a blank. If you know of any, please let me know otherwise this request will have to be closed.  Philg88 ^♦talk 13:12, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

@Philg88: If you're referring to the fact that OSM doesn't have boundaries of other provinces, then the only open data map I could find which shows the boundaries is WikiMapia. But you have to zoom out to see the boundaries. It doesn't have the boundaries of districts. Is this of any use?--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 19:29, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

@Obi2canibe: While the boundaries are certainly shown on the WikiMapia map, the problem is that their data cannot be extracted/downloaded. Without exact coordinates it is impossible to map the boundaries accurately from a graphic alone. I'll keep looking and hopefully sooner or later someone will update the OSM map with the required data. Cheers,  Philg88 ^♦talk 05:39, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

OK, thanks for your efforts.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 17:30, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

The Patriot League added two new teams in 2013, expanding from the 8 listed on the graphic, to 10.

New Teams:

• Boston University at 42.3496, -71.0997
• Loyola University Maryland 39.346111, -76.618889

It would be nice if someone could update the graphic to reflect the new teams. (The original creator of isn't very active, or I would have asked that user.) -- S Philbrick(Talk) 16:25, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

Adding Loyola would be easy. But Boston isn't on that map, so it would involve starting again from the beginning. Maproom (talk) 11:28, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

I'm not following your point. Boston isn't identified, but why can't one add a red dot near the location? It might mean moving the Holy Cross text to the left to avod overlap, but the red dot for Boston belongs just below and left of the "C" in Holy Cross.--S Philbrick(Talk) 13:09, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

You're right. I had somehow only downloaded 3/4 of the base map. I'll add the two teams now. Maproom (talk) 13:31, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Currently, the Abbasid Revolution is just a redirect to the Umayyad Caliphate. I am working hard on turning the subsection in that article into a full fledged article in my sandbox.

I'd be interested in a similar map that also includes Westchester County, Rockland County, and the rest of Long Island, if that's not too difficult. The amount of detail that is shown on the existing NYC location map (roads, mainly) is not necessarily needed. And now that I think of it, perhaps the New Jersey and Connecticut areas of the tri-state area could be included in the 'lit' portion of the map, if the mapmaker sees fit.
