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 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. The Rambling Man (Stay alert!

Coloring adjustment for map, per FAC recommendation
-
Map of different stages of the early Muslim conquests, centered on northern Iran for emphasis on that region.

- Article(s)
- Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik
- Request
- In the course of the current FAC of Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik, it was suggested in the 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. -- Al Ameer (talk) 04:58, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi @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, Amitchell125 (talk) 19:02, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for considering this request 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. Al Ameer (talk) 02:40, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- No, had a look and it's not too much trouble, I'll get started on it. Amitchell125 (talk) 09:04, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Al Ameer son: All done (here) - let me know of anything that needs to be amended. Regards - and good luck with the article. Done Amitchell125 (talk) 21:34, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Independence from Britain

Current flag of Belize -
Pacific islands map
- Article(s)
- List of countries that have gained independence from the United Kingdom
- Request
- Okay, I've noticed a few inaccuracies with the above-left map that should probably be fixed:
1) The flag of the Dominican Republic is incorrectly shown for Dominica (above), a completely different country.
2) Saint Vincent and the Grenadines gained independence in 1979, not 1931.
3) There's no arrows linking the flags of the Maldives, Myanmar and Sudan to their respective countries.
4) The flag of Malta is wrongly shown to be linked to the Balearic Islands, not at Malta itself.
5) Nauru gained independence in 1968, not 1957.
6) The Maldives gained independence in 1965, not 1982.
7) The flags of Tonga and Tuvalu are actually shown pointing to Fiji, and the flag of Fiji itself is linked to Vanuatu (the actual locations of said countries are provided on the above-right map).
8) The flag of Qatar is wrongly shown to be linked to the United Arab Emirates, not at Qatar itself.
9) The flag of Jordan seems to be pointing more at the West Bank than at Jordan itself.
10) The flag of Belize was slightly altered in 2019 (as shown above), so the one on the map should be changed to reflect that.
11) The flag of Mauritius is not pointing at Mauritius at all, but rather at a random spot in the Indian Ocean.
12) Papua New Guinea gained independence from Australia in 1975, not from Britain, hence it should be removed from the map (otherwise the map would have to include all other countries that gained independence from former British holdings, such as Samoa, Bangladesh, Namibia, South Sudan, etc.).

- The issue here is awful kerning, such that some letters are on top of each other. (An English version of the map would also be helpful. I would be happy to provide translations; ping me if you want them.) —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 06:36, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
