== The Boat Race 2021 course ==

;Article(s):

: [[The Boat Race 2021]]

;Request:

: Unusual times, but this year the Boat Race is being held on the [[River Great Ouse]] as opposed to the Thames, and I'd like a map to reflect the course. The official website has a crude [https://www.theboatrace.org/the-2021-course course map] and I've found the two (appropriately licensed) Ordnance Survey maps which cover it (TL58SE and TL58NE). I guess ideally the two images need to be tiled and then the result cropped down, and finally the course overlaid on top per the official website. Cheers.

;Article(s):

: [[Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik]]

;Request:

: In the course of the [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik/archive1|current FAC of Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik]], it was suggested in the [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik/archive1#Image review|Image Review]] that the difference between the green vs lime green-shaded areas of the map be improved for clarity, and further, I think the difference between the dark brown and light brown should also be improved. Perhaps its best that the lime green and light brown be replaced with entirely different colors: lime green → orange, light brown → purple. I am not able to do this without botching the map. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. -- [[User:Al Ameer son|Al Ameer]] ([[User talk:Al Ameer son|talk]]) 04:58, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi {{ping|Al Ameer son}} - As far as I know your request can't easily be done without making a new map. I can help you, but I'll look first to see how big the task is before committing. Regards, [[User:Amitchell125|Amitchell125]] ([[User talk:Amitchell125|talk]]) 19:02, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

:Thank you for considering this request {{u|Amitchell125}} and yes, please let me know. I personally think it may be too much trouble.

;Article(s):

: [[List of countries that have gained independence from the United Kingdom]]

;Request:

: Okay, I've noticed a few inaccuracies with the above-left map that should probably be fixed:

1) The flag of the [[Dominican Republic]] is incorrectly shown for [[Dominica]] (above), a completely different country.

2) [[Saint Vincent and the Grenadines]] gained independence in 1979, not 1931.

3) There's no arrows linking the flags of the [[Maldives]], [[Myanmar]] and [[Sudan]] to their respective countries.

4) The flag of [[Malta]] is wrongly shown to be linked to the [[Balearic Islands]], not at Malta itself.

5) [[Nauru]] gained independence in 1968, not 1957.

6) The [[Maldives]] gained independence in 1965, not 1982.

7) The flags of [[Tonga]] and [[Tuvalu]] are actually shown pointing to Fiji, and the flag of [[Fiji]] itself is linked to [[Vanuatu]] (the actual locations of said countries are provided on the above-right map).

8) The flag of [[Qatar]] is wrongly shown to be linked to the [[United Arab Emirates]], not at Qatar itself.

9) The flag of [[Jordan]] seems to be pointing more at the [[West Bank]] than at Jordan itself.

10) The flag of Belize was slightly altered in 2019 (as shown above), so the one on the map should be changed to reflect that.

11) The flag of [[Mauritius]] is not pointing at Mauritius at all, but rather at a random spot in the Indian Ocean.

12) [[Papua New Guinea]] gained independence from Australia in 1975, not from Britain, hence it should be removed from the map (otherwise the map would have to include all other countries that gained independence from former British holdings, such as [[Samoa]], [[Bangladesh]], [[Namibia]], [[South Sudan]], etc.).

As of November 26, 2020, Colombia bans the commercial and subsistence fishing of sharks within its waters. The map should now reflect this change and, according to the map legend, should now be colored in red rather than black.

;Article(s):

: [[Women's poll tax repeal movement]]

;Request:

: This article is is currently at FAC. One of the reviewers found the above map, but I'd like to tailor it to specifically address only poll taxes which applied as prerequisites to voting in the US. A discussion, along with sourcing is here: [[Talk:Women's poll tax repeal movement#GIF]]

: Can the title be "Poll tax as a condition to voting"? (Or possibly History of ... )

: Can we add and remove parts of the GIF as indicated in the discussion?

: Can we change the colors as indicated in the discussion?

: Can you slow down the time increment so that people have the opportunity to read the text? Thanks! -- [[User:SusunW|SusunW]] ([[User talk:SusunW|talk]]) 19:12, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Susun, not sure if you're requesting a new GIF or to modify the old, but I think a new one is the right way to go -- the existing one can be used where it is now.

:I assumed that the original would stay as it is and the changes we are asking for would be a derivative but separate image. The idea wasn't ours, it was the original creator's, but we want a new GIF based on that concept. [[User:SusunW|SusunW]] ([[User talk:SusunW|talk]]) 15:28, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

::: Hi {{ping|Genetics4good}} Please find the first draft of the map [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Home-based_worker_percentage_2019.svg here]. Please could you check it for me, as the colours in the original map were sometimes difficult to see properly?

Just color blankmap world v6 using the color scheme used there (or to improve the map further you can use different colors, like red (=low), orange (middle), yellow (high), very high (green))

--[[User:Genetics4good|Genetics4good]] ([[User talk:Genetics4good|talk]]) 19:55, 26 November 2020 (EST)

Perhaps an even better approach is to just go to [https://publicadministration.un.org/egovkb/Data-Center 2020 E-Government Development Index country listings], print screen, paste in GIMP, open Blankmap-world-v6 and simply detect the image color of each country (there's a GIMP tool for that) and then color the countries of Blankmap-world-v6 (both images can be put side by side, allowing to do this very quickly)

==Ambuliyar River==

;Request:

:Sorry in advance if this is difficult. An overlay showing just the outline of the drainage basin, and paths of the river and tributaries, in the style of something like [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Schuylkillmap.png this] for a river in Tamil Nadu, using [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:India_Tamil_Nadu_location_map.svg this] Tamil Nadu map as a base, and the map from the second page of [https://www.journalijdr.com/sites/default/files/issue-pdf/3753.pdf this] pdf as the main source for the outline of the basin and the course of the 4 constituent rivers of the system. One other reference that I hope is helpful is [http://www.casmbenvis.nic.in/Database/Ambuliyar_estuary_10565.aspx this] other, simpler map of the basin. For actually putting the overlay onto the right spot on the larger map, hopefully the map from page 3 of [https://censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/DCHB_A/33/3319_PART_A_DCHB_THANJAVUR.pdf this] pdf helps, also the basin is right to the east of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vellar_Basin_Overlay.xcf this] basin outline.

::@[[User:Amitchell125|Amitchell125]], I realized after writing the request that putting the watershed onto the overlay would mean there wouldn't be that much detail on the watershed itself. Would it be possible to essentially make a map within a map, in which one would be the overlay onto Tamil Nadu, while one would be just the watershed, and have it show how the map kind of "zooms in," sort of like how the zoom in on the city of Amsterdam is done [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Amsterdam_location_map.svg here]? If its not possible or is too much I totally understand. Thanks for all your help.

::::Hi {{ping|Amitchell125}}, phenomenal stuff, better than I could have imagined, thanks so much. One minor thing, forgot to ask for river name inclusion. The bottom left river is the Maruthankudiyar River, and the tributary it has that flows sort of southeast into it is the Vellunniyar River. The river that begins in the northwest is the Ambuliyar River, which continues in the bottom right after all the tributaries join and as it goes to the sea. The northeastern river, that flows south into the Ambuliyar, is the Punakkuttiyar River. If you could add these names adjacent to the rivers, that would be great.
