: [[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)

== 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]]''. The color used to mark the ___location may be any reasonable color so long as it meets the accessibility guidelines, and I have no real opinions on the inclusion of additional borders and labels for districts, etc. Happy editing, [[User:SilverTiger12|SilverTiger12]] ([[User talk:SilverTiger12|talk]]) 18:01, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

: Make an map image, similar to [[:File:Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (orthographic projection).svg|this one]], which shows the United States in 1783, and gave it marked in green ([[:File:Non-Native_American_Nations_Control_over_N_America_1783.png|based on the borders in this map]] ).

:Just highlighting some issues: 1) [[:File:Non-Native_American_Nations_Control_over_N_America_1783.png|This map]] is unsourced. 2) An orthographic map (such as [[:File:United States (orthographic projection).svg|this one]]) will show other countries whose borders need to be properly sourced too.

::{{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)

:This is a geographic area with no defined borders, and regardless, this is not what orthographic maps are designed for. – [[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]]) 21:15, 30 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. I see no reason not to have a map, the visualization would be useful, just like it was for the previous examples I have given. – [[User:Treetoes023|Treetoes023]] ([[User talk:Treetoes023|talk]]) 02:16, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

== Turkey’s original forest cover ==

;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)
