: [[Battle of Dibrivka]]

;Request:

: Hello! As part of a [[Talk:Battle of Dibrivka/GA1|GA review]], it's been requested that I get a historical conflict map for the Battle of Dibrivka and its aftermath, which took place in [[southern Ukraine]] in late 1918. The battle itself was centred on the village of [[Velykomykhailivka]] and surrounding Dibrivka forest. The aftermath involved movement through a number of towns in the former [[Alexandrovsk uezd (Yekaterinoslav Governorate)|Oleksandrivsky uezd]] of the former [[Yekaterinoslav Governorate|Katerynoslav province]], including Velykomykhailivka, as well as {{ill|Harylivka|uk|Гаврилівка (Синельниківський район)}}, {{ill|Ivanivka, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast{{!}}Ivanivka|uk|Іванівка (Васильківський район)}}, [[Kamianka, Polohy Raion, Zaporizhzhia Oblast|Tsarekostyantynivka]], {{ill|[[Temyrivka|uk|Темирівка}}]] and [[Huliaipole]]. In the modern day, these towns are found in the [[Polohy Raion]] in [[Zaporizhzhia Oblast]] and the [[Synelnykove Raion]] in [[Dnipropetrovsk Oblast]]. If anybody could help put together such maps, I would appreciate it immensely. -- [[User:Grnrchst|Grnrchst]] ([[User talk:Grnrchst|talk]]) 14:42, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

:I see. Sorry, I am new to this and wasn't thinking about it from that lens. No, I have zero connection to the author.

:Hi @[[User:Chidgk1|Chidgk1]], so are you looking for an SVG version of the first image (in German) you've linked, with translatable text? – [[User:Isochrone|<span style="color:#042559">I</span><span style="color:#0c3c8a">s</span><span style="color:#1d58b8">o</span>chrone]] ([[User talk:Isochrone|T]]) 19:51, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

:Thanks for quick reply. So long as it matches the official map in railway lines it does not really matter which one you start from. Please could you add a small type light grey inconspicuous “Source: (url of official map)”. So do you think it is better to have just one svg map with all the lines but with high speed prominent. Or would it be clearer to also have a second map with only high speed? I suspect 2 would be best as there is a separate article [[high speed rail in Turkey]] [[User:Chidgk1|Chidgk1]] ([[User talk:Chidgk1|talk]]) 07:16, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

::On second thoughts maybe just one if it will not look too cluttered. So long as the slow lines are far less prominent it should also be OK for the high speed article I guess and might be easier to keep up to date. Your thoughts?

== Sar-Dhok ___location ==

I am requesting a map that shows the ___location of Sar-Dhok locality (Lat. 32° 49′ 39″ N: Long. 73° 43′ 51″ E; altitude 805.45 ft) in Pakistan. It is for the article ''[[Sivapardus]]''.

::{{Reply to|Isochrone}} Well yes, but it is inaccurate and treats Tibet as a political entity rather than a cultural area. The map should be like the [[Commons:File:Kurdish-inhabited areas (orthographic projection with inset).svg|Kurdistan map you made]], in which the area is shown to overlap with political borders. Instead, the map treats Tibet like [[Commons:File:600px-Kurdistan (orthographic projection).png|this map]] treats Kurdistan, it treats it as if it is a country and gives it an exaggerated area. – [[User:Treetoes023|Treetoes023]] ([[User talk:Treetoes023|talk]]) 02:00, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

::{{Reply to|Isochrone}} I disagree, orthographic maps are commonly used to depict geographic landforms, examples being [[Commons:File:Arabian Peninsula (no borders).svg|this Arabian Peninsula map]] and [[Commons:File:Sahara and Sahel.svg|this Sahara and Sahel map]]. None of those 3 locations depicted in the orthographic maps have defined borders, but they can be approximated with relative accuracy.

;Article(s):

: [[Forest in Turkey]]

;Request:

: I think it would be useful for the reader to have a simple map of the original forest cover to empasize the statement in the lead that "4000 years ago most of the country was forested". Figure 1.2 on page 5 of https://www.fao.org/3/CA3505EN/ca3505en.pdf shows original vegetation but I don't mind whether the other vegetation is shown or not. Of course it should be easily translatable for [[:tr:Türkiye'deki ormanlar]]. I hope this might in a small way encourage reforestation efforts. Apparently the original map is on page 204 of a 1993 coursebook by Altan, T. titled "Türkiye’nin Doğal Bitki Örtüsü" (Turkey's natural vegetation cover) from the Agricultural Faculty of Çukurova Üniversity. I checked https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Agricultural_maps_of_Turkey and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Vegetation_maps_by_country but I could not find anything suitable. -- [[User:Chidgk1|Chidgk1]] ([[User talk:Chidgk1|talk]]) 12:56, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
