'''Article(s):''' [[List of postcode areas in the United Kingdom]]
'''Request:''' Can someone make a simple black and white svg map of the postal areas in the United Kingdom? There are a couple maps on the net [http://www.businesslistsuk.com/postcode_map.htm][http://www.werelate.org/wiki/England_research_guide][http://www.whichlist.com/Support/UK-Postcode-Map.php][http://www.conservationregister.com/PostalAreas.asp].[[User:Brianann MacAmhlaidh|Brianann MacAmhlaidh]] ([[User talk:Brianann MacAmhlaidh|talk]]) 11:19, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
*Cool, thanks Classical geographer. The article gets about a 1,000 hits a day [http://stats.grok.se/en/200912/List_of_postcode_areas_in_the_United_Kingdom], and i think it'd really help people out if they can visualise the list there. Another thing was that i was working on a surname article (''[[McQueen (surname)]]'') and one site [http://www.nationaltrustnames.org.uk/] lists the frequency of surnames by these postal areas. So if you can come up with an svg version it could be the base for coloured name-distribution maps too.--[[User:Brianann MacAmhlaidh|Brianann MacAmhlaidh]] ([[User talk:Brianann MacAmhlaidh|talk]]) 05:57, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

::Excellent; thanks Chaosdruid. Regarding the world map, I opted for this as it would allow the marking of other lakes,... ie to demonstrate how the reducing water levels of several lakes, ... affect each other. I think however that the map of the entire continent Africa will suffice to allow such use for future images. Regarding the coloring I actually prefered only blue and red (or dark blue, light blue and red), but this will do aswell.

'''Article(s):'''
*[[Anón]]
* and 30 others
'''Request:''' I need a map of the [[municipality]] of [[Ponce, Puerto Rico]] showing the boundaries of each of its 31 [[barrio]]s/[[ward]]s. The idea is to create a base map form which we can show (by, say, highlighting in yellow) a specific barrio such as Anón (so on for all 31 barrios).
Background: I have created a category called Barrios of Ponce, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Barrios_of_Ponce, and have written articles for all of them (see, for example, [[San Patricio (Ponce)|San Patricio]] and [[San Antón]]. However, it would advantageous to have a map that graphically identifies the barrio in each article, which could be added to the article's Infobox,,, something like what this other article for the El Cinco barrio/district/ward of the municipality of San Juan has (and which, in adddition, highlights the barrio/ward in question in color yellow): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Cinco,_San_Juan,_Puerto_Rico.
Possible sources for the boundary of the Ponce barrios:
* http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/GCTTable?_bm=y&-geo_id=05000US72113&-_box_head_nbr=GCT-PH1&-ds_name=DEC_2000_SF1_U&-redoLog=false&-format=CO-2&-mt_name=DEC_2000_SF1_U_GCTPH1_CO2

* http://www.ponceweb.org/Anuncio/Barriosdeponce.pdf
An idea of how the map of the barrios of Ponce might look like when completed:
* http://areciboweb.50megs.com/pr/ponce.html
* http://www.newphoenixservices.com/ponce/images/maps/map-ponce.jpg
(Of course I cannot use either of those two above because they show all the barrios at once, and what I need is 31 "little" (meaning "individual") maps. Also can't use because of copyrights.)

{{Cquote|I do have this data in a form that uses county fips codes and the number of times the county has been in a watch. If you can use fips codes to do your plotting, I'd be glad to dig this up and send it along.}}

:FIPS codes are unique standard codes for each country (or equivalent such as parish in LA) in the US. A complete list is at http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/co-codes/states.htm. This should be usable with the script mentioned above (the blank US country map included uses FIPS codes), but, I haven't played with it. Seemingly the data format should be Name (presumably FIPS) column and Data column. However is the data giving averages for 1999-2008 (or equivalent set of years) or does it give counts for each year and the average have to be calculated? --[[User:Erp|Erp]] ([[User talk:Erp|talk]]) 02:43, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
