Not completely unskilled with QGIS I am trying to georeference a map with Paris Meridian, several of that series [https://www.dlib.si/stream/URN:NBN:SI:IMG-VD5O2MZP/e5124bf7-998f-41f8-ba9e-419e4899cf80/PDF]. Thought I know how to do that, it works fine with maps with Ferro Meridian. Can anyone give me a hint here?

== Slave trade routes in the United States, 1830–1850 ==

File:Map of slavery and slave trade in the United States 1830–1850 by Albert Bushnell Hart (1906).jpg

;Article(s):

: [[Slave trade in the United States]]

;Request:

: Would love to have a new version of this map which is hard to read in current form but very important for study of antebellum US south. The original map is trying to cover everything about slavery but would love to just have a map that includes the main land and sea routes, as depicted here, with two additions:

* An additional land route running from Richmond Va through Georgia (Macon?) to Tallahassee

* Two additional sea routes, both start from New Orleans: one to Galveston, and one to Mobile

Notes:

* Don't need the routes of ''[[La Amistad]]'' or the [[Creole mutiny]] ship

* Key rivers it would be helpful to include: [[Mississippi River]], [[Ohio River]], [[Tennessee River]], [[Apalachicola River]] (with [[Chattahoochee River]] extension?), [[Savannah River]], [[Missouri River]], [[Red River of the South]], [[Alabama River]] (with [[Coosa River]] extension?), [[Cumberland River]], [[Arkansas River]], and maybe [[Potomac River]]

* please include boundaries of the 15 slave states using current boundaries: [[Delaware]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], [[Maryland]], [[South Carolina]], [[Virginia]], [[North Carolina]], [[Kentucky]], [[Tennessee]], [[Louisiana]], [[Mississippi]], [[Alabama]], [[Missouri]], [[Arkansas]], [[Florida]], and [[Texas]]

* Key cities it would be helpful to include: [[Baltimore]], [[Washington DC]], [[Richmond, Virginia|Richmond]] (Va), [[Norfolk]] (Va), [[Savannah, Georgia|Savannah]], [[Charleston, South Carolina|Charleston]], [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], [[Nashville]], [[St. Louis]], [[New Orleans]], [[Natchez, Mississippi|Natchez]] (Miss), [[Galveston]], [[Mobile, Alabama|Mobile]], [[Tallahassee]], [[Lexington, Kentucky|Lexington]] (Ky), [[Louisville, Kentucky|Louisville]] (Ky), [[Pensacola]],

* Please label [[Chesapeake Bay]] and [[Gulf of Mexico]] if there is room

Minor notes:

* please do not include Atlanta (Ga) as it basically didn't exist yet. key Georgia cities if there is room were Macon, Augusta, and Columbus

* key Alabama cities if there is room: Huntsville, Tuscumbia, Montgomery

* key NC cities if there is room: New Bern, Charlotte, Wilmington

* other lower Mississippi locations of minor importance: Baton Rouge, Louisiana & Vicksburg, Mississippi

* feel free to any other cities you see from the map, state capitals etc.

* Bonus non-essential locations: Appalachian mountain range, ___location of Cumberland Gap, Cuba, Bahamas, Amelia Island

== Request for a map showing an alternate division of California into Northern and Southern California ==

;Request

Requesting a California geologic map for use in multiple articles.

For illustrating the articles [[Northern California]] and [[Southern California]], we currently have the images [[:File:Northern_California_counties_in_red.png]] and [[:File:Southern_California_counties_in_red_noshade.png]]. Both of these show a straight dividing line based on a latitude. However, the division between Northern and Southern California has also been described in geologic terms as a curve starting in west at [[Point Conception]], extending eastward through the [[Transverse Ranges]], shifting to the [[Tehachapi Mountains]], and continuing more northward along the [[Sierra Mountains]] including [[Mount Whitney]] to [[Mount Dana]], then on to [[Mount Patterson (California)]] in the [[Sweetwater Mountains]], extending to the [[Nevada]] border. This curved line generally follows the mountain peaks along these ranges, because the division is all about how there is a natural barrier of high mountains between Northern and Southern California. The Sierra crest line is the same as the western borders of [[Mono County, California|Mono County]] and [[Inyo County, California|Inyo County]]. Botanist [[Philip A. Munz]] said that his book about plants in SoCal "extends from its northern boundary of Point Conception, Santa Barbara County, eastward along the crest of the [[Santa Ynez Mountains]] to the [[Mount Pinos]] region in Ventura County, [[Fort Tejon]] in Kern County, the Tehachapi..." Similarly, Professor Victor P. Peterson of CSU Long Beach wrote that his book about ''Native Trees of Southern California'' would include all of Inyo County. Journalist [[Carey McWilliams (journalist)|Carey McWilliams]] describes the border as starting from Point Conception and going through Tehachapi after which he ignored the northeastern sweep, although he said [[Owens Valley]] was in Southern California, placing the border at the Sierras west of Owens Valley.

I'd use QGIS, but I don't know exactly where I'd get the data from. If the NWS has made a map of every tornado, I haven't found it yet. If possible, [[Template:Storm colour]] could be used to color the tracks based off of intensity.

[[January 2025 Richmond water crisis]]

'''Request'''

Hello,

I would like to add a map of the [[January 2025 Richmond water crisis]] to its article. I believe that the data is on OpenStreetMap. Here is the [https://www.vpm.org/news/2025-01-07/winter-storm-blair-richmond-henrico-hanover-chesterfield-mutual-aid-help link] to news coverage of the map (the map is embedded in the article and looks exactly how I think that it should look on the article here), to ensure notability. Here is the [https://maprva.org/projects/water-crisis/ project page] of the local mapping community. Here is their [https://github.com/MapRVA/2025-water-crisis GitHub page] that I believe contains all of the relevant data.

If I have time at some point to learn how to do this, I will come back and do it myself, but if someone knows how to do this already, I felt that that would be more efficient.

:This request consists of two parts: translating the locations from Russian to English and replacing the names in the map. While the latter is straightforward, the former needs familiarity with the Russian language and the places that are mentioned. I suggest you start by addressing the first part, perhaps by making a request in the Russian project. I'm also assuming that you're not really interested in the names of the rivers, but if that's not the case, then you need to mention it.
