Photo is wrong

Hello there, Wykx, I noticed your map picture of conflicts (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Conflicts_per_year_2014.svg) and I just wanted to mention that you mistakenly coloured Romania instead of Ukraine as a state in conflict. Fix that when you'll have time ;) Mrwho00tm (talk) 20:23, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

~~Ooups! Thanks for the remark and it's now corrected ! Wykx

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)

In other languages (translate this)

Please use SVG Thank you for uploading some images! Did you know that Wikimedia Commons recommends the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format for certain types of images? Scalable Vector Graphics are designed to look appropriate at any scale, and SVG images are easier to modify and translate, helping Wikimedia to distribute knowledge to all of the world. A lot of modern programs support SVG export. If you encountered problems or have questions, don't hesitate to ask me, a member of the Graphic Lab, or the Graphics village pump. Uploading images in SVG format isn't mandatory, but it would help. (To avoid any misunderstandings, please don't just put raster images into an SVG container as embedded raster.) Thanks, and happy editing!

w:List of international presidential trips made by Barack Obama

Hi. Thanks for your good work -- don't forget to update the map you created here and paint Cuba, which the president already visits, and later this week Argentina. Archwayh (talk) 06:41, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

 Done

Great, and now Argentina (Landed today) :) Archwayh (talk) 03:32, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

It's done also. FYI the file is a .svg so anybody can also modify it.

Hi. Now we need to update the color of UK and Germany (which the president visited this week). Archwayh (talk) 09:22, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

 Done

Thanks for the good work. Now there's Vietnam and Japan. Archwayh (talk) 07:34, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

File:Barack Obama foreign trips.svg requires updating

Hi Wykx,
Thank you for your contributions to Commons. I noticed File:Barack Obama foreign trips.svg is out of date. Could you update it? Thanks again. Obama visited Canada (third time) last week, and Poland (also third time) and Spain (first time) this week. PatTag2659 (talk) 10:28, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

 Done

File:Bill_Clinton_Overseas_Visits.svg requires updating

Hi. I know it's not for Barack Obama, and it wasn't supposed to be like that, but regarding this photo, Italy is not painted as it should be (the color matches 5 visits, instead of 8, the bluest color). I wrote entry about Clinton's international trips, noticed he visited Italy 8 times; and the country, however, was painted as if he visited it only 5 times. Could you fix it? Thanks.

South Sudan on Donald Trump foreign trip map

For the map on the List of international presidential trips made by Donald Trump page, the nation of South Sudan is part of the nation of Sudan, despite the fact that it received independence in 2011. Could you please add this nation to the map? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Count Awesome (talk) 17:17, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

National electoral calender

Hi could you please add the Somaliland presidential elections to the map. I am Unable to. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Subayerboombastic (talk • contribs) 07:26, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Somaliland is not a recognized sovereign country. We don't have means to represent it. 10:06, 25 November 2017 (UTC)Wykx (talk)

Back when the election was scheduled for 2015 Somsliland was continuously represented on the map so it is possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Subayerboombastic (talk • contribs) 19:43, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Category:Maps needing South Sudan political boundaries

Hello.

Can you add South Sudan in File:List of presidential trips made by Dmitry Medvedev.svg and File:List of presidential trips made by Tarja Halonen.svg because South Sudan became independent by the time they left office, and also add South Sudan (and color Bhutan in dark gray) in File:Theresa May foreign trips.png?

I am adding South Sudan (as well as Montenegro and other possible missing updates) in the PNG maps in Category:Maps needing South Sudan political boundaries and then remove this category after updating them. There were close to 1100 maps since I started to update these files on 1 March 2018, now it is reduced to less than 580 maps, but there is a long way to go.

Unfortunately I don't know how to edit SVG maps and complicated PNG maps myself, that is why I asked you.

Kindest regards.
