Hi [[User:Bogazicili|Bogazicili]] I'm pretty sure that map is a screenshot of a map found online, and so it has some copyright issues. However, it's easy enough to put up something based on [[:File:BlankMap-World.svg]]. Would that work? [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 13:05, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

::Hi Chipmunkdavis, that would be great thanks! For copyright issues, should we notify the author of the image? [[User:Bogazicili|Bogazicili]] ([[User talk:Bogazicili|talk]]) 09:54, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Bogazicili}} please see above. Probably worth inquiring with the original author regarding 2020 copyright. [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 10:42, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

::::{{u|Chipmunkdavis}}, this looks great! Thanks! Do you think we should also put the scale within the image rather than in the legend? I have no preference either way, but just curious which would be more readable. What's the standard practice in Wikipedia? [[User:Bogazicili|Bogazicili]] ([[User talk:Bogazicili|talk]]) 11:09, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

:::::My understanding is that it is usually preferred to keep legends out of images, as this makes them easier to use across different language wikis. [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 12:16, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

::::::{{u|Chipmunkdavis}}, that makes perfect sense. I updated the images on English Wikipedia with your version. Thanks for the help! [[User:Bogazicili|Bogazicili]] ([[User talk:Bogazicili|talk]]) 12:47, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

: Please could someone update the above map to 2021. It would involve just adding [[North Northamptonshire]] and [[West Northamptonshire]] in red.

:By the way, that "SVG" is actually just an embeded raster graphic. Might as well recreate it from scratch. — [[User:Berrely|<span style="color:#000">'''''Berrely'''''</span>]]&nbsp;•&nbsp;[[User talk:Berrely|^Talk]]∕[[Special:Contribs/Berrely|_Contribs]] 18:46, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

::Thanks for the info. I don't have the skills necessary to create a new svg from scratch, but if someone is able to that would be great.

:::All these England maps appear to trace back to [[:File:English administrative divisions 2010.svg]]. The main issue is these maps have Northamptonshire as one joint authority. Has anyone created a 2021 map with both? Otherwise it may be possible to manipulate [[:File:Northamptonshire UK district map (blank).svg]], which was created using the same projection. (There may also be other areas that need updates from 2010.) [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 13:07, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

::::Thanks [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]]. That map would be a great starting point. It looks like the only other change since 2010 to the boundaries is the merging of [[Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council|Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole]], which would also have to be updated. [[:File:Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole UK ward map (blank) 2019.svg]] may be useful for that.

{{tl|Resolved}} Using the above help I was able to fashion the following using my crude skills ([[:File:English unitary authorities 2021.svg]]). I'm happy enough with it. If anyone wants to improve it then it's largely there now. Thanks again to the workshop for the help.

== Requesting a series of maps for the battle of Marathon ==

[[File:Battle of Marathon Greek Double Envelopment.png|thumb|none]]

;Article:

[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Marathon]]

;Request:

:Currently the section describing the battle, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Marathon#Battle, has one map (Persians in red, Greeks in blue) that tries to show all of the phases of this battle. As you can see it is complicated and, I think, makes it hard to understand what happened there.

:It also contains a major error. The article specifically states that Persian cavalry were “not engaged”, yet the map shows two Persian cavalry units right in the middle of the struggle.

:I would like to create a series of simple maps, that would accompany the text, and that will illustrate each of the five or so phases of this battle. As a possible starting point, I have a to-scale drawing, based on a current map of the Marathon battle site, that shows what I am thinking of. [[User:Joe Bfsplk|Joe Bfsplk]] ([[User talk:Joe Bfsplk|talk]]) 18:26, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

;Discussion:Then I would need that drawing. Also we have to discuss and make a first map as a Mother which we then will follow.<br>

::{{u|Joe Bfsplk}} Now I have a [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Oa2Zszh03ACLRl4kZljYkcBcD3GAzZBW/view?usp=sharing draft-1] of the base map. This is a png version of the svg file I'm working in. You will have to tell me what the different places you wrote about what they are, battle places, cities ...<br>

::At commons we have templates we use to make maps look similar and for military we have [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Template_of_Military_Symbols.svg this one], but I'm not sure we can use those symbols on something this old. So give me feedback and info, thanks. --[[User:Goran tek-en|Goran tek-en]] ([[User talk:Goran tek-en|talk]]) 12:44, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

::{{u|Goran tek-en}} First draft of the base map looks good. Let me review and I will respond with the information you asked for. [[User:Joe Bfsplk|Joe Bfsplk]] ([[User talk:Joe Bfsplk|talk]]) 19:36, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

:::{{u|Joe Bfsplk}} Thanks for the extensive information. It's actually to much for me, I work on several things at the same time and it's hard to read and remember that much. I just need exactly what I should do, Greek troops moving forward here, battle at this position etc. I do understand it's hard know but after a while we both will know, so thanks.

:::*In this draft I have just put out all the names, we decide further on which to keep/add and position them.

:::{{u|Goran tek-en}} You are correct. Persian forces are hostile and according to this https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/Template_of_Military_Symbols.png they should be red.

:::::#To me we use squares [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/Template_of_Military_Symbols.png from this template] to show type and position for a unit/headquarter etc. They are not used to show shapes, positions of troops or battle lines.
