Minor map error

Map of Gladstone in Henderson County, Illinois
- Article(s)
- Gladstone, Illinois
- Request
- Maps of this sort generally depict a specific ___location by highlighting it in red, and if it's small enough, the ___location is circled in red. Unfortunately, this one has the wrong ___location circled: the circle's placed around Biggsville, Illinois instead. (If you glance at the Biggsville map, you'll see that it's properly circled.) Could the circle be moved from Biggsville to Gladstone? It would be a trivial copy/paste in a PNG, but I don't know much about the workings of SVG. Nyttend (talk) 21:51, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

Done. It's a fairly trivial edit in SVG as well, it just requires a vector editor like Inkscape, Karbon, or Adobe Illustrator. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 15:08, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
adding Mexican state boundaries to world map

- Mexican states have different laws and so are colored differently. The current hand-drawn borders are rather crude. Would it be possible to copy over the borders from another map? They don't need to be precise (they could and probably should be reduced to the resolution of the other borders on this map), but it would be nice if they were more accurate -- some of the states are barely recognizable. I tried doing this myself, but without knowing enough about map projections to calculate the proper center of rotation, it was rather hopeless. (Unlike the Indian reservations in the US, where I didn't need to worry about matching up with coastlines and could just skew to the local longitude line.)
- BTW, the unused states have been moved west off the edge of the map for future use as local laws change. But I suspect it would be best if we left them in place but set the opacity of the borders and fill of the unused states to zero, so the map could be updated with a text editor rather than using Inkscape. (Though I don't know about turning the pop-up labels off and back on. We don't need a pop-up label for a state there's no law for. Hovering over it should just produce 'Mexico' from the territory underneath. Is there a simple way to handle that in the code, like commenting it out? Or will tags automatically fail to display if a territory is made invisible?)
- The dots can be ignored for this request. They're for individual cities.
- If somewhere there is a version of the original map this was based on that has subnational boundaries, I could copy them over myself. -- — kwami (talk) 22:55, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Updating map at Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction
At the article Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, please change Guyana on the map to blue, because it acceded to the Convention in 2019. Source: [1] 2A02:2F01:53FF:FFFF:0:0:6465:51A0 (talk) 22:28, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
