'''Article(s):''' [[Scottish people]]

'''Request:''' Is it possible for someone to copy the legend from the [http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/ThematicMapFramesetServlet?_bm=y&-tree_id=403&-_MapEvent=displayBy&-errMsg=&-_useSS=N&-_dBy=050&-redoLog=false&-_zoomLevel=&-tm_name=DEC_2000_SF3_U_M00131&-tm_config=|b=50|l=en|t=403|zf=0.0|ms=thm_def|dw=1.9557697048764706E7|dh=1.4455689123E7|dt=gov.census.aff.___domain.map.LSRMapExtent|if=gif|cx=-1159354.4733499996|cy=7122022.5|zl=10|pz=10|bo=|bl=|ft=350:349:335:389:388:332:331|fl=403:381:204:380:369:379:368|g=01000US|ds=DEC_2000_SF3_U|sb=50|tud=false|db=040|mn=0|mx=4.8|cc=1|cm=1|cn=5|cb=|um=Percent|pr=1|th=DEC_2000_SF3_U_M00131|sf=N|sg=&-PANEL_ID=tm_result&-_pageY=&-_lang=en&-geo_id=D&-_pageX=&-_mapY=&-_mapX=&-_latitude=&-_pan=&-ds_name=DEC_2000_SF3_U&-_longitude=&-_changeMap=Identify source map] to this one.

:Copied over from the Maps project talk page, could also use SVG-ification. [[User:Kmusser|Kmusser]] ([[User talk:Kmusser|talk]]) 13:01, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

:<s>Would the one on the [http://www.valpo.edu/geomet/geo/courses/geo200/usa_maps.html Valpairiso website] that I found via [[Maps of American ancestries]] be sufficient as a drop-in replacement? PDF-> SVG is painless.</s> If we're going to go all the way back to the data, constructing a new series of SVG ancestry maps from source for all the ancestry categories, with a consistent style, shouldn't be much more work than constructing one. My dead-tree Census Atlas of the United States has this in the unfortunate choice of 50-state enumerated graduated circle symbology, so that's right out.

::The Valpairiso website map looks good. Thanks. [[User:Jack 1314|Jack 1314]] ([[User talk:Jack 1314|talk]]) 17:01, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

::I'd support just replacing them with the Valparaiso maps as well. [[User:Kmusser|Kmusser]] ([[User talk:Kmusser|talk]]) 17:07, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

::'''Edit: Whoops, didn't note the tiny JTK signature on them, I had assumed they were US Census products.''' Can't use them, unfortunately. I'll have time this weekend to see about choropleth map conventions on wikipedia, it sounds like a nice self-contained project. [[User:Lesqual|Lesqual]] ([[User talk:Lesqual|talk]]) 17:11, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

:::I believe that also means that the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jewish1346.gif Jewish] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pct_finnish4.png Finnish] maps on Wikipedia which do copy the Valpo graphic need to be removed as well. The Jewish one even has the creator's full name, and the current copyright holder noted. While US Census Data and maps are free, anything created independently which uses US Census data has its own licensing. [[User:Lesqual|Lesqual]] ([[User talk:Lesqual|talk]]) 17:17, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

::::Doh, yeah I just saw the Census logo and figured Valparaiso was hosting old Census map, but I think you're right, they'd be copyrighted. JTK I'm assuming is Jon T. Kilpinen, his e-mail is on the parent page [http://www.valpo.edu/geomet/geo/courses/geo200/] if you want to try asking for permission.

Is it possible to get an update on this request? Thanks. [[User:Jack 1314|Jack 1314]] ([[User talk:Jack 1314|talk]]) 10:47, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

::It would take me too long to re-create, in the meantime I have added the legend to the image description page so if you want to add it back to the article and include the legend in the caption you could. [[User:Kmusser|Kmusser]] ([[User talk:Kmusser|talk]]) 18:14, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:::Just noticed your reply. Thanks. [[User:Jack 1314|Jack 1314]] ([[User talk:Jack 1314|talk]]) 19:15, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

::::Don't lose hope, I'm still working on this [[User:Lesqual|Lesqual]] ([[User talk:Lesqual|talk]]) 15:17, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
