== The Boat Race 2021 course ==

;Article(s):

: [[The Boat Race 2021]]

;Request:

: Unusual times, but this year the Boat Race is being held on the [[River Great Ouse]] as opposed to the Thames, and I'd like a map to reflect the course. The official website has a crude [https://www.theboatrace.org/the-2021-course course map] and I've found the two (appropriately licensed) Ordnance Survey maps which cover it (TL58SE and TL58NE). I guess ideally the two images need to be tiled and then the result cropped down, and finally the course overlaid on top per the official website. Cheers.

:: Hi, {{ping|The Rambling Man}}, happy to sort this one out. {{I take|[[User:Amitchell125|Amitchell125]] ([[User talk:Amitchell125|talk]]) 17:50, 25 January 2021 (UTC)}}

:::{{U|Amitchell125}} Yay, that's brilliant news. Thanks, let me know if you need any more information? Cheers. [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]] <small>([[User talk:The Rambling Man|Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;]])</small> 17:52, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

:::: {{ping|The Rambling Man}} The map I've produced can be found [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Boat_Race_2021_map.svg here]. Please let me know of any amendments you think need to be made, as almost anything can be altered. {{Done}} [[User:Amitchell125|Amitchell125]] ([[User talk:Amitchell125|talk]]) 21:06, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

:::::{{U|Amitchell125}} that's just spot on, thanks for your help and thanks for getting it done so quickly, very much appreciated!

;Article(s):

: [[Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik]]

;Request:

: In the course of the [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik/archive1|current FAC of Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik]], it was suggested in the [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik/archive1#Image review|Image Review]] that the difference between the green vs lime green-shaded areas of the map be improved for clarity, and further, I think the difference between the dark brown and light brown should also be improved. Perhaps its best that the lime green and light brown be replaced with entirely different colors: lime green → orange, light brown → purple. I am not able to do this without botching the map. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. -- [[User:Al Ameer son|Al Ameer]] ([[User talk:Al Ameer son|talk]]) 04:58, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi {{ping|Al Ameer son}} - As far as I know your request can't easily be done without making a new map. I can help you, but I'll look first to see how big the task is before committing. Regards, [[User:Amitchell125|Amitchell125]] ([[User talk:Amitchell125|talk]]) 19:02, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

:Thank you for considering this request {{u|Amitchell125}} and yes, please let me know. I personally think it may be too much trouble. If you confirm, I’ll move to the alternative of using [[:File:Northern Iran and its surroundings during the Iranian intermezzo.svg]].

::No, had a look and it's not too much trouble, I'll get started on it. [[User:Amitchell125|Amitchell125]] ([[User talk:Amitchell125|talk]]) 09:04, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Al Ameer son}} All done ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_the_Caliphate_in_945.svg here]) - let me know of anything that needs to be amended. Regards - and good luck with the article. {{Done}} [[User:Amitchell125|Amitchell125]] ([[User talk:Amitchell125|talk]]) 21:34, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
