== Map of monarchies and republics in Europe - Kazakhstan ==

;Request:

: Since a part of western [[Kazakhstan]] is [[European Kazakhstan|located geographically in Europe]], could somebody please shade the country blue on the above map, to signify its status as a European republic? After all, [[Turkey]] is already shaded blue despite only [[East Thrace|a small portion of it being within Europe]], hence it wouldn't make sense for this map to acknowledge Turkey's republic status but not Kazakhstan's.

== 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.

Suggested source maps might include:

Published sources describing the mountainous border include [https://books.google.com/books?id=dF4KBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA265 ''The Biosphere and the Bioregion: Essential Writings of Peter Berg''], [https://www.jstor.org/stable/jj.8306177 ''A Flora of Southern California''] and [https://books.google.com/books?id=jcCrQC8rBPgC&pg=PA4 ''Southern California: An Island on the Land''].

Here's my crude example for laughs:

What about [[Central California]]? [[User:M.Bitton|M.Bitton]] ([[User talk:M.Bitton|talk]]) 00:34, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

:Central California is not as widely used a division. By far. [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 23:35, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Here a couple of maps[https://homelessstrategy.com/map-of-california-continuums-of-care-by-region/ 1][https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Map-of-California-regions-in-this-study-R1-Northern-California-orange-R2-Central_fig2_382230701 2] that could possibly be helpful.

:This is not a request for anything having to do with Central California or any three-part division of the state. It is about the two-part division of California which is inadequately supported by maps. [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 01:42, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

;Request:

: 1. '''Map of early historic south India''' - kindly remove the internal borders from the map (as they are largely estimations - locations of various ancient polities or tribes). Please smudge the lines or something. 2. '''Periplous of the Erythraean Sea locations''' - This image looks incredibly amateur. Kindly remove the strange white fog all over the image. Please make this a professional map.

: I was thinking about a map of tornado tracks in Oklahoma from 1900 to 2024, as seen at [https://tornadoarchive.com/explorer/2.3/#interval=1956-04-03T12:00Z;1956-04-04T12:00Z&map=-110.0000;52.5459;1.44&env_src=null&env_type=null&___domain=North%20America&filters=partition|PartitionFilter|f_scale|(E)FU,(E)F0,(E)F1,(E)F2,(E)F3,(E)F4,(E)F5 Tornado Archive], although that's copyrighted. 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. Apologies if this is malformed or anything, I've never made a map request. :) [[User:EF5|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''E'''</span>]]_{[[User talk:EF5|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''F'''</span>]]}^{[[User:EF5/Creations|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''5'''</span>]]} 20:17, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

[[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.

;Discussion:

: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.

::i was told by @[[User:Isochrone|Isochrone]] to post this here. i do not have proficiency in Russian but i can find someone to help translate/transliterate the names. & i am actually interested in transliterating the river names, at least the major ones, because they're relevant to the content. <br>the key at the bottom says this (from OCR + machine translation):<br>Legend<br>P'yanobor culture<br>Early P'yanobor monuments<br>Glyadenovskaya culture<br>Kara-Abyz culture<br>Early Sarmatian burial grounds <span style="color:#507533">...
