: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. Is it possible to make something sufficiently different, or is this perhaps a non-starter of an idea?

;Discussion:

: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?

:::Do you think the style should be consistent with [[:File:High Speed Railroad Map of Europe.svg]]? [[User:Chidgk1|Chidgk1]] ([[User talk:Chidgk1|talk]]) 07:48, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

::::Or indeed would it be easier for you and more maintainable in the long run for you to somehow excerpt the Turkish part of that and the legend? [[User:Chidgk1|Chidgk1]] ([[User talk:Chidgk1|talk]]) 07:51, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
