Incorrect/missing colors of waterbodies

[edit]

Article(s): en:Vironniemi

Request
The map above is just an example; there are probably 100+ of these maps with incorrect/missing waterbody colors on maps of Helsinki. File:Helsinki districts.svg is the base map file and has the correct coloring; please compare it to the image above. Those incorrect maps were made by User:Stadscykel who later fixed some of them (e.g. Special:Diff/43585007, Special:Diff/43585930), but most of those maps still have incorrect/missing colors. Related discussions on fi.wikipedia: link and link, and here on Commons: link. --JAAqqO (talk) 01:06, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If someone ever decides to fix these, here is a list of 130 map files that need fixing:

Graphist opinion(s)
JAAqqO, please check the sample you highlighted which I have uploaded a new version of. If correct, the good news is that it is easy to recreate each map from the base File:Helsinki districts.svg (of course, the bad news is there are 130). Chipmunkdavis (talk) 02:03, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Chipmunkdavis, yes, that one looks good now, thank you. --JAAqqO (talk) 04:39, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One of the discussions you linked mentions the colours are a poor choice for colour-blind users, may be worth considering that too before editing 130 files. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 02:07, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Example of a map for the "State of Somaliland" (from the administrative point of view of the Somali authorities), which is not sufficiently country-centric.

Article(s): List of first-level administrative divisions by area (for example)

Request
Hello, having initially posted this request on the Commons:File requests page, it was suggested that I redirect here instead. Is it possible to create maps in the "SVG locator maps (location map scheme)" format for the States of Somalia? From what I see, this is one of the rare administrative subdivisions that does not yet have a map in this format. It would therefore be in addition to the regions of Somalia, which have their own category. --Ellicrum {bablute [...]} 13:24, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Europe FoP map

[edit]

Article(s): w:en:Freedom of panorama (to replace Commons-slanted EU-FoP map in the article, which is supposed to be neutral (and not excessively favor Wikimedian perspective) per w:en:WP:NEUTRAL.)

Request
  1. Change the color for both Belarus and Ukraine to yellow from red, as both have non-commercial FoP (yellow is for non-commercial FoP countries).
  2. Change also Sweden to light green as there is indeed FoP only for buildings, but no commercial FoP for monuments and public art.
  3. Add Kosovo, as dark green (yes FoP since October 2023).
  4. Add Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, and the Vatican City - as red.

@JWilz12345: Can you describe why File:Freedom_of_Panorama_in_Europe.svg cannot be used instead? cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 07:56, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cmglee (note: the ping didn't work for some reason, but this page is on my watchlist as of now)
It is based on the Commons perspective (in which non-commercial uses are treated as "not OK"). But since that article is in English Wikipedia, it should be neutral and should not favor on Wikimedia side. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 08:02, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345: Got it. Did you mean "should not favor on Wikipedia side"? I think we should copy the code from File:Freedom_of_Panorama_in_Europe.svg and modify as needed to maintain consistency. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 08:33, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cmglee ah yes, though for average readers, they always treat Wikipedia and Wikimedia as a single community. But that is another story.
And yes, it is best to use the same map. I've read somewhere that the former version of File:Freedom_of_Panorama_in_Europe.svg was purportedly hard to edit, and I assume the NC map used the same mapping code. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 09:46, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

African history map of kingdoms and empires

    Map of major African kingdoms and empires throughout history

Article(s): en:History of Africa, en:List of kingdoms in Africa throughout history

Request
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could put together a map of Africa overlayed with the maximum extent of some major kingdoms and empires. I can provide a list of kingdoms and empires that'll give a fair representation of the continent's history, although many of them might overlap so maybe have the fill transparent? At the moment we use File:African-civilizations-map-pre-colonial.svg which has extraordinary bias towards west and north Africa, and gets some of the territory wrong such as for Aksum and Hausa (which was never a kingdom). The map used would ideally include Arabia, the Levant, and some of Iberia as these were territories which were covered. The style I'm happy to leave to you, although I'd like it to be colourful. --Alexanderkowal (talk) 12:35, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

starting October 27, Ukraine will no longer observe summer time (sources in article above). it means that Ukraine will be coloured yellow instead of ochre. technicalities: Russian-occupied regions follow a different separate time zone (UTC+03:00) all year round (fact-check?). see file page for more information. --Juwan (talk) 14:26, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As stated in en:Time in Russia#Russian Federation, all Russian-occupied regions claimed by Ukraine (Crimea, Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia) are on Moscow Time. I think they should be shaded in alternating green and yellow like on this map. What do you think? Qzekrom (talk) 04:54, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Map of the Battle of Peregonovka

[edit]

Article(s): Battle of Peregonovka

Request
Hi everyone. The article about the battle of Peregonovka needs a map depicting the battle. In Colin Darch's 2020 book Nestor Makhno and Rural Anarchism in Ukraine, 1917-1921, he includes a map by cartographer Jenny Sandler depicting the overall battle (Map 5.1 The Engagement at Peregonovka, September 1919), based on the White movement's own maps published in the 1960s. If someone here would be able to draw up a similar map, based on Sandler's work, that would be very much appreciated. Something similar to the Waterloo campaign or Battle of Stalingrad maps would be ideal. --Grnrchst (talk) 10:09, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(1) The little orange and pink spots should be removed from the en:Yu'an, Lu'an map (File:ChinaLuanYuan.png) somehow. I don't have the appropriate computer program to do this.

Article(s): over a hundred pages as can be seen on the picture page, for instance pt:TransBrasil

Request
There are several inconsistencies on this map, since the last update is from 2018. I will list them below:
  • VLT Carioca:
    • line 1 has been expanded to the west, with a new station called "Terminal Intermodal Gentileza";
    • the branch between Praia Formosa and São Diogo has been cancelled and should be removed;
    • line 3 entered operation, I'll detail the new stations down below;
  • BRT Transbrasil: has started operation, going all the way until Terminal Intermodal Gentileza. Please double check stations names as well as the path (the expansion towards downtown has been discarded);
  • Other than that they've changed their logo, it'd be nice to update on the legend, check their website
  • BRT Transoceânica: is currently in operation. Should be renamed to "BHLS Transoceânico" and has three different lines, that enter bus corridor between Charitas and their destination, and go towards Niterói downtown;
  • Bonde de Santa Teresa: has been expanded, southwest until Dois Irmãos, a branch towards Monte Alegre and a small branch towards Muratori, are all operating;
  • Ônibus expresso: all of them don't exist anymore and should be removed;
  • Conexão BRT: BRT operator created three regular bus lines similar to previous Ônibus Expresso which could be interesting to show on the map. You can check their details on their website: https://mobi-rio.rio.br/
  • MetrôRio: the two circles in Estácio station should be a single circle as it is a single station with integration between two lines.
  • Teleféricos (cable cars): Alemão exists but is still suspended; Providência resumed operating; Rocinha never had a proper project (just politician intention) and therefore should be removed;
  • Planos inclinados (funiculars): title is missing an "s"; P.I. do Condomínio Equitativa, P.I. Regina Coeli, P.I. do Cemitério São João Batista, Funicular Rio Arte and Monotrilho de Vila Santa Cecília are private and should be removed. All other are currently in operation.
  • Double check all station names. I will do this homework and edit my comment.
    • MetrôRio (subway) - they have added suffixes to stations located on neighborhoods with more than one station, indicating the neighborhood, as can be seen on their website. Therefore these stations should be renamed:
      • Lines 1 / 4, from north to south:
        • Uruguai should be "Uruguai / Tijuca"
        • Saens Peña should be "Saens Peña / Tijuca"
        • São Francisco Xavier should be "São Francisco Xavier / Tijuca"
        • Afonso Pena should be "Afonso Pena / Tijuca"
        • Central should be "Central do Brasil / Centro"
        • Presidente Vargas should be "Saara / Presidente Vargas" (yes, this is an exception to the rule)
        • Uruguaiana should be "Uruguaiana / Centro"
        • Carioca should be "Carioca / Centro"
        • Cinelândia should be "Cinelândia / Centro"
        • Cardeal Arcoverde should be "Cardeal Arcoverde / Copacabana"
        • Siqueira Campos should be "Siqueira Campos / Copacabana"
        • Cantagalo should be "Cantagalo / Copacabana"
        • General Osório should be "General Osório / Ipanema"
        • Nossa Senhora da Paz should be "Nossa Senhora da Paz / Ipanema"
        • Jardim de Alah should be "Jardim de Alah / Leblon"
        • Jardim Oceânico should be "Jardim Oceânico / Barra da Tijuca"
      • Line 2, from downtown towards northwest:
        • Nova América / Del Castilho should be "Del Castilho"
        • On Pavuna, only the subway station is called "Pavuna"; the SuperVia one is "Pavuna / São João de Meriti"
    • SuperVia, corrections on the lines, starting from downtown towards the suburbs, on counterclockwise fashion (for more information, check OSM or their website:
      • Linha Deodoro / Santa Cruz:
        • Mangueira should be "Mangueira / Jamelão"
        • Silva Freire is only serviced on Linha Japeri, maybe we could duplicate the line between Deodoro and Central do Brasil to indicate that?
        • Terminal Deodoro should be "Deodoro"
        • Regarding "São José de Magalhães Bastos", only the BRT station has that name, the train station name is "Magalhães Bastos"
        • Mocidade de Padre Miguel should be "Mocidade / Padre Miguel"
        • Santissimo should be "Santíssimo" (note the "í")
        • Benjamin do Monte should be "Benjamim do Monte" (note the "m")
      • Serviço Circular Honório - Deodoro has been deactivated and should be removed from the map
      • Linha Japeri:

      • Other than that, next to Transbrasil, there are two bus terminals under construction that you might want to include: "Terminal Missões" (next to Cidade Alta station) and "Terminal Margaridas" (between Vigário Geral / Praça Dois and Irajá).
      • And the Conexão BRT bus lines, the stops have names and it would be very nice to include them as well. However they were not included on OSM yet and therefore for a non-local would be hard to get stop positions; this could be added on a second moment.
    • BHLS Transoceânico
      • There are three lines, all of them start on downtown on "Terminal Rodoviário João Goulart", go on regular bus stops and enter the BHLS corridor that currently exists. I think it'd be good to include the path towards downtown, as well as the path to the neighborhoods outside of the bus corridor, but without including the regular bus stops, only the BHLS corridor stops. You can check routes on OSM:
      • Monsenhor Jacarandá should be "Cafubá"
      • (current) Cafubá should be "Lagoa de Piratininga"
      • Roma should be "Piratininga"
      • Cornelio de Mello Jr should be "Maralegre"
      • Multicenter has been dropped and should be removed
      • Madri should be "Santo Antônio"
      • Juriti should be "Vila São Pedro"
      • São Fabio should be "Morro da Peça"
      • Sibipurunas should be removed
      • Avenida Central should be "Praça Central"
      • Celso Peçanha should be "Boa Vista"

You can check current data on OpenStreetMap, as I (among other mappers) have it up-to-date there.--ArlindoPereira (talk) 08:35, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can do this but I will create a new map as a svg file, it will be so much easier to update in the future. I also will need your assistance/knowledge in the process of creating it.
 Request taken by --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:02, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ArlindoPereira So I do need your assistance now;
1. Shall we do both a Portuguese and an English version?
2. I have to understand all the different types of transportation there is on this map, the current png version.
There are several different types of buses, trains etc. It's really confusing as I have zero knowledge right now.
The following five types I understand.
  • Supervia, Train
  • Metrô, Metro
  • Tram/VLT (Light Rail Transit)
  • BRT (Bus Rapid Transport)
  • Barcas, Ferry
—----------------
Then we have the following four, should they also be on the new map?
  • Linhas de Ônibus Expresso, Express Rio de Janeiro
  • Bonde de Santa Teresa, Santa Teresa Tram
  • Trem do Corcovado, Corcovado Train
  • Teleféricos, Cable cars
Then you also have BHLS Transoceânico in your request, what is that, yet another bus system? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:29, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot for picking it up Goran tek-en.
1. Yes, that'd be great if possible. I can help translating it to pt-br of course.
2. Yes, those are the five main categories. Your five initial points are correct and are the most important. "Linhas de Ônibus Expresso, Express Rio de Janeiro" are gone, you can remove those altogether. We now have a couple of "Conexão BRT" "BRT connection" lines, but it might be a bit hard to find information about those. I will try to get it with the agency and map it on OpenStreetMap. The other three have a bit of more touristic purpose but are public transport nevertheless. And yes, "BHLS Transoceânico" is a bus corridor on the city of Niterói, which is on the east of Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area, which corresponds to the right part of the map (right side of the bay). It is a bus corridor in part of it's way, with stops that resemble BRT / LRT stops (bigger structure, exclusive right of way) while in other areas it is just a regular bus line (stopping on regular stops / mixed in general transit).--ArlindoPereira (talk) 09:21, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ArlindoPereira Thanks, I'm right now working on creating the base map so it will be a while before I start with the different lines. Very happy you will be available to support me. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:38, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en Awesome, ready to jump in when you need me. Feel free to take any questions, or help finding routes you can't find on OSM. --ArlindoPereira (talk) 14:57, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just got the routes for the "Conexão BRT / BRT Connection" buses, I am currently mapping them on OSM.
--ArlindoPereira (talk) 09:27, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ArlindoPereira Great --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:57, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ArlindoPereira
1 Do you know how to search for ea Metro line 1 in OSM so I get the stretching with stations?
I have found a coarse way but it would be great if I could all the different types of lines in an exact way.
2 Here I have a part of M line 1. Do you know of any way to download just that stretch, I'm trying to convert the xml you can download to svg but so far I haven't succeeded. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:49, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ArlindoPereira
I actually also would need all the stations names as I'm not familiar with all the diacritical symbols, please group them as you have above.
Sorry about the work load for you but it's very difficult when you don't know the language, thanks. I can probably get the names from OSM. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:34, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have just remembered of "Mapa Metropolitano de Transportes", it was a map made from previous state administration that had all transports. It has been unfortunately dropped by current administration, so it is outdated (do not show new BRT Transbrasil and LRV Line 4) but should give a general idea of the network. There is a copy of it in https://www.tremdedados.com.br/mapa-rio-metropolitano-de-transportes/
  • An interesting detail of it is that it shows differently free transfers and paid transfers. That is because of our stupid company based fares, you cannot switch from one company to another (say from MetrôRio/subway to SuperVia/trains) without paying a new fare. So it shows as white the transfers that are free (between different lines of same operator) and as black transfers that are paid (between different lines of different operators). I understand that this add a new layer of complexity but it might be interesting to show on the map if you manage to include (but I wouldn't say it would be strictly needed).
Sure @Goran tek-en, I will list the OSM relations for all systems and lines:
(I'll save this comment for now and edit with other lines)--ArlindoPereira (talk) 10:36, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Continuing @Goran tek-en
@ArlindoPereira This is a really complicated request/map so we just has to take it step by step or I will be lost forever.
  • I really like the way you provide me with information, it’s great, thanks.
  • For this map, It has structured info but the map scale/projection is strange and I can’t make it work with our OSM map but there is good info.

The base map we can change, this is a part that shows the Metro lines as I have understood it. This is the style I intend to use so see what you think. Please be straight and open with your feedback, thanks.
The only thing I/we can control regarding viewing is that the map works in 100%. So if you need to download it to be sure you view it in 100%, do so but be sure to delete it afterward.
