Hello! May I request you to make a map in which (1) "Manipur" is in the darkest colour, (2) Assam and Tripura states in a lighter colour, (3) remaining "Northeast Indian states" in the little lighter colour, (4) Bangladesh's Sylhet division (not to be confused with Sylhet district) and the Sagaing region of Myanmar in a lighter colour, (5) the Mandalay region and the Yangon region, File:Ayeyarwady Region in Myanmar.svg, File:Bago Region in Myanmar.svg, File:Shan State in Myanmar.svg & File:Kachin State in Myanmar.svg in a little lighter colour, which is for the regions where Meitei language is spoken with respect to concentration of population? Fortunately, the said portions of areas in the 3 neighboring countries are demarcated properly in various svg maps available in the Commons. --Haoreima (talk) 16:09, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

• @Haoreima: I have created an SVG map as per your request (Meitei language distribution.svg). However, the subnational boundaries are fairly inaccurate due to the inherent inaccuracy in the base map (Blank Map World Secondary Political Divisions.svg). You may consider using Meitei language distribution.png, which is much better. --Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 15:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Request

A comprehensive geographical map that shows both 1 Line and 2 Line with all stations of the Seattle light rail network Link light rail, including dashed lines under construction of both 1 Line and 2 Line with all stations, which can later be edited on, once they open to service in 2024 or 2025. Both lines should be colored differently. Currently, there is no detailed map that shows both lines. There are only maps which show 1 Line and 2 Line, separately.

The entire Link light rail network, including the lines under construction, are shown in detail in this website: https://www.urbanrail.net/am/seat/seattle.htm --Multituberculata (talk) 08:28, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Note that these maps also omit the T Line, which should be included. The UrbanRail website is also out of date, so station names need to be double-checked. SounderBruce 08:47, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Indiana Jones locations map - a few modifications

Article(s): Any article this already appears on.

Request

I'd like to request some changes to the above map depicting countries visited throughout the Indiana Jones film franchise. Despite one of my previous requests regarding this map, I now think that the green (currently signifying countries visited in Temple of Doom) and the purple (currently signifying countries visited in Dial of Destiny) on this map should be swapped around. As in hindsight, I think green would contrast better with the other colours in any of the striped nations, particularly those in Europe. Which means:

1) Both China and India should be changed to purple.

2) France, Morocco and the United Kingdom should all be changed to green.

3) Italy should be changed to blue and green stripes.

4) The purple stripes on the United States should be changed to green ones.

And a few other changes I'd ask for:

5) Greece should be changed to red and green stripes (since another User has helpfully pointed out that the climax of Raiders of the Lost Ark happens on a Greek island).

6) Portugal should be changed to blue, due to one of the early scenes of Last Crusade taking place at the "Portuguese Coast" in 1938.

7) Taiwan should be changed back to grey, as it was on the first two versions of this file.

Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:54, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

In this map, Greece needs to be colored in both red and violet stripes, because a part of the first Indiana Jones film, Raiders of the Lost Ark (for which the color red is used), is set on an unnamed Greek island in the Aegean Sea, just north of Crete, where the Ark is opened. --Multituberculata (talk) 19:54, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

@Multituberculata: Thanks for pointing that out. I've now included that in an updated version of the request. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:54, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

I have an extremely large (235 mb) svg file of Canada's census divisions. I downloaded the shapefile from [1] (it's freely licensed) and converted it to SVG. I can't simplify the paths on Inkscape without messing up the internal borders. What should I do to be able to upload it to Commons? --Kingofthedead (talk) 06:19, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@Kingofthedead: I assume that you're referring to the "census division" from the "Administrative boundaries". What do you mean by "messing up the borders"? How much simplification are you after? Is the map going to be shown by itself or as part of another bigger map with which it needs to align? M.Bitton (talk) 12:34, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

@M.Bitton: I downloaded the "census divisions" shapefile from Administrative boundaries. I then converted it to svg. By "messing up the borders" I mean the internal borders become too simple, leaving white space in between. In reality I only want the extremely, unnecessarily detailed coasts which have a lot of nodes to be reduced. This is what it looks like when I use the "simplify" feature on Inkscape:

The purpose of uploading this map is to have a high-quality SVG file of all census divisions of Canada which includes all of Canada, similar to File:Blank USA map with counties.svg. Kingofthedead (talk) 05:03, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

@HouseBlaster First try here. Let me know about colours, details, whatever you would like to see different or add. Ikonact (talk) 09:19, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much! Would it be possible to use {{Awmcphee's proposal support level color scheme}}? I am also not sure which Gau it is, but the 49.40 one seems to have the incorrect number. Again, thank you for taking this one on HouseBlaster (talk) 15:19, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

@HouseBlaster I will correct. thanks. Just to be sure... if you want me to use the Awmcphee's proposal support level color scheme, I am afraid that most of the map will be very much the same dark blue. Is this what you want? Ikonact (talk) 16:23, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

That is fair enough. Let's stick with the red. Again, thank you so much! HouseBlaster (talk) 16:24, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

@HouseBlaster I uploaded a new version with Awmcphee's proposal support level color scheme. I did it already before seeing your message. I can revert to the red scheme or I can use also similar blue discrete scheme but change the intervals to 5% instead of 10% as in the Awmcphee's proposal support level color scheme. Let me know. Ikonact (talk) 16:47, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

@Ikonact thank you! I personally like the blue; would you be able to try the 5% intervals? Best, HouseBlaster (talk) 16:52, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
