== Democracy map ==

<gallery>

2019 Democracy index.svg|Countries ranked by their appearance on the [[Democracy Index]]

</gallery>

;Article(s):

: [[Democracy Index]] and pages on dozens of other wikis

;Request:

: Could you replace the current colour scheme with one in which the scale just goes from darkest to lightest, or lightest to darkest? The current Democracy Index rankings put Australia and the DR Congo at opposite ends of the scale, but to my somewhat colourblind eyes, they're virtually identical. Because this is used by more than fifty wikis, and because they may include captions indicating colours (this is the case at Democracy Index, for example), changing colours could mess up tons of captions, so please upload under a new filename.

PS, both on this map and the new upload, could you give French Guiana the same colour as metropolitan France? Right now it has the no-information-available colour. For some circumstances it makes sense to distinguish between them, but not here. [[User:Nyttend backup|Nyttend backup]] ([[User talk:Nyttend backup|talk]]) 17:06, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

I suspect French Guiana was left blank because it is blank in some Economist maps ([http://graphics.eiu.com/upload/topic-pages/democracy-index-2019/Democracy-map-2019-website.jpg eg.]). However, it is coloured in other Economist maps ([https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2019/01/08/the-retreat-of-global-democracy-stopped-in-2018 interactive]). The other DOMS should similarly be filled in. [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 07:16, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Agreed RE: color issue. A better colormap would be a sequential one. I created a draft of this map but need to bin the colors. Note that the data table color (Table #1) would need to be changed also to reflect a new colormap. [[User:Moderngraphite|Moderngraphite]] ([[User talk:Moderngraphite|talk]]) 15:15, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

:I have filled in the French overseas regions in the old map. [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 17:09, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

== Inaccurate Map Needs Caption ==

== Map Images of Madawaska County ==

'''Article(s):''' [[Madawaska Parish, New Brunswick]]; [[Saint-Jacques Parish, New Brunswick]]; [[Saint-Joseph Parish, New Brunswick]]

; Request:

: Please add a caption to the effect that the map is inaccurate. Both Madawaska and Saint-Jacques Parishes are bisected by Saint-Joseph Parish and both their northeastern portions are shown as part of Saint-Joseph Parish. The descriptions in the [http://laws.gnb.ca/en/showfulldoc/cs/T-3 Territorial Division Act] and on cadastral map numbers 9 and 20 are evidence of this error. [[User:G. Timothy Walton|G.

;Request:

: The road has been extended in the west to Karmøy (from Haugesund) and in the east to Vassum (from Drammen/Drøbak) in 2011 and 2016 respectively. The maps have not been updated since 2008/2009. -- [[User:Jezijezz|Jezijezz]] ([[User talk:Jezijezz|talk]]) 09:41, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
