Thanks again, Goran Abo Yemen✉ 15:02, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen
  • I understand that the areas didn't have sharp edges like this, so if you want I can make the areas fuzzier.
  • We have some maps regarding Hadhramawt, Hadramaut and they all show different sizes of their area within the southern Arabian Peninsula so I have put out some in between.
  • I have separated between their origin and the migrations.
Feed back thanks, anything goes, Draft Hadhrami-1. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:22, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en
I like how the current emigration borders look though it would be nice to have a variant of the map with the names of cities in the green areas. As for Hadhramaut, we have a somewhat known description of the region: It spans from w:Mirbat in the east till the w:Shabwah Governorate to the west, and from the southern coast till w:Sharurah to the north. It would be nice to have a map of the Hadhramaut region for the w:Hadhramaut article. Thanks, Abo Yemen✉ 13:30, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen
We can do variations but let's do one at the time, Draft Hadrami-2. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:36, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en Yes, this version looks better tho I think you went with the entirety of Najran which is not a part of hadhramaut. Better to use File:Najran Region - Sharurah.svg instead Abo Yemen✉ 11:43, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen Sorry, I have no knowledge of this and Najran is a city what I can see.
I checked your nort-south link and came up with this Draft Hadrami-3. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:16, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en Is it me or did you miss sharurah entirely? The awkward corn-shaped border on the top left should be removed as it includes areas like western Jawf and Marib and the green shaded area on File:Najran Region - Sharurah.svg should be included Abo Yemen✉ 12:23, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo YemenRemember this is your topic, you have the knowledge, I have zero.
The green in File:Najran Region - Sharurah.svg is not the same as this for Najran so it's hard for me to know what you mean.
In Draft Hadrami-4 there is a red line, is that what you want me to add (but I had that before). Can you give me a link on OSM or google for which area because File:Najran Region - Sharurah.svg is like taken out of context for me with no local knowledge. Hope you understand. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:36, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Remember this is your topic, you have the knowledge, I have zero.
my bad my bad.
So basically Sharurah (green map) is a sub division of Najran (red map/red line in the new map). Sharurah in OSM @Goran tek-en Abo Yemen✉ 13:53, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, can you use the borders of w:Telangana for Hyderabad as it is the closest to the borders of the former Hyderabad state? Also please add w:Arakan as the Hadharem have emigrated there too Abo Yemen✉ 14:04, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Abo Yemen Draft peninsula-1. Feed back, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:58, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en The frame is perfect. What I want from this is to make a map of the geographic regions of the Arabian Peninsula. Would remove the green stuff and add dashed lines to mark the borders of the regions of Arabia, which are: Hijaz (Mecca, Medina and the Tabuk w:Provinces of Saudi Arabia), Yemen (Everything between Hijaz and Hadhramaut), Hadhramaut (already done with), Oman (UAE and Oman except for the Al Wusta and Dhofar), Marha (everything between Hadhramaut and Oman), bahrain, Yamama, Nejd and Tihama (all of which are defined in this image [1]). Tihama is two different regions: Tihama of Yemen and Tihama of Hijaz (Coastal strip of both regions) Abo Yemen✉ 12:18, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen Is that the borders of today you want? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:40, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en yes just make them vague in sandy areas Abo Yemen✉ 17:50, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen Remember I have no knowledge of those regions.
  • Hijaz, I can't find a specific area called this, so I don't understand which area.
--please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:58, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Its the Tabuk, Medina, Mecca, and Bahah provinces of Saudi Arabia. You can use the maps provided in the wikipedia articles as a reference 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 12:19, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en I will 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 12:51, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen This Draft peninsula-2 is how far I got right now. You say I should add the "countries" from that Reddit link. I can only use it at information, not copy it. The borders there interfere with the borders I already have so I don't really understand what you want me to do. You have to be specific on what to change, add etc. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:38, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en okay let's do this one step at a time starting from the western side. Hijaz is the Tabuk, Medina, Mecca, and Bahah provinces of Saudi Arabia. So combine them all into one entity.
Then Yemen is everything west to the map of Hadhramaut that we've made + Asir, Jazan, and everything left from the Najran Province.
Tihama is the entire western coastal strip of the Arabian peninsula. You can overlay a topographic map of the Peninsula and trace the coastal strip to make it 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 16:21, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen I put out names so we know what we are talking about for now, also a question mark for an area. Draft arabian-3. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:18, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en looks good so far. "?" is part of Hijaz. As for tihama, is there a way to make it blend with the hijaz and yemen regions? 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 14:31, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen
  • I have made the borders that we agreed on not so detailed as what I understand no ones exactly knows today.
  • If you want bordes we can do something like this, if you want colored areas we can do corresponding to this.
  • Draft arabian-4.
--please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:10, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en looks good to me tho I'd say that you connect the yemen-hijaz borders to the coastline to divide the tihama region into two: Tihamat al-Hijaz and Tihamat al-Yaman (reference [2] (Arabic)) 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 17:51, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en Looks good! Now for Oman, merge the UAE and whats left of Oman to make the Oman region. After that, all the land between Oman and Hadhramaut is going to make up the Mahra region 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 14:28, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Drat arabian-8. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:18, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en Before we add another region, can we change the tihama borders to a type of dotted line instead of the blurry line thing? Also I think its better to use Tihama (Hijaz) and Tihama (Yemen) for the English version of the name and ill later translate the text to arabic using svg translate.
And for the Oman region, can you remove the Al Dhafrah Region from it as it should be part of the Empty Quarter desert region 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 13:24, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en Oh my bad forgot to reply 🤦‍♂️Okay so now we will make the Bahrain region: Its the entire east coast of Arabic made of Qatar and Eastern Saudi (but not the huge empty desert regions of Southern and central Al Udayd, Qaryah Al Ulya, Hafar Al Batin, and Al Ahsa ) and excl Kuwait. 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 13:22, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Correct Green Valley, IL map to put circular emphasis on right municipality

[edit]
  • Highlighting is on wrong village
    Highlighting is on wrong village

Article(s): en:Green Valley, Illinois

Request
The red circle is on the wrong village. It needs to be moved over to where Green Valley actually is (towards the bottom left). Thanks! --WhisperToMe (talk) 18:55, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
WhisperToMe The 02:49, 28 October 2017 version seems to have the circle in the right place, but there is a square that changes color. Which square color is correct? CMD (talk) 00:24, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chipmunkdavis: The red settlement (the others are gray) is the correct location. The map is supposed to depict Green Valley, seen here. Compare with Tazewell County here. The circle is instead over Armington (which is depicted here: File:Tazewell_County_Illinois_Incorporated_and_Unincorporated_areas_Armington_Highlighted.svg). The circle is supposed to emphasize Green Valley. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:05, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That does seem to suggest the 02:49, 28 October 2017 has the correct circle, but do you know what to do with the square? ie. can this be reverted, or does a new version have to combine the old circle and new square? CMD (talk) 01:08, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chipmunkdavis: I see. The square should be en:Heritage Lake, Illinois (a census-designated place) based on the placement. I'm not really sure why it is not filled in with gray. I checked File:Harris County Texas incorporated and unincorporated areas Cloverleaf highlighted.svg and I notice some census-designated places are filled in with grey but some are not. Maybe I should ping the uploader and ask them if CDPs are supposed to be gray or white. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:59, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If it is, just revert to 02:49, 28 October 2017. If not, should be easy enough to combine the two.

French Indochina administrative divisions in 1937

  • English version

  • French version
    French version

Article(s): [[]]

Request
I would like to have some changes on the máp:

- Some provinces seem to be missing from the map, such as Hà Nam province (shows as part of Nam Định province) and Phúc Yên province (shows as part of Vĩnh Yên province)

- I think that military teritories are also provinces, so they can named with their own names rather than just numbered territories (display within each other or just one type, 1e = Hải Ninh, 2e = Cao Bằng, 3e = Hà Giang, 4e = Lai Châu, 5e = Phongsaly)

- For English version, I think some provinces in Annam, Laos, a province in Tonkin (Pho Tuo = Phú Thọ), a province in Cambodia (typo I think: Svai Rieng = Svay Rieng) should be called with Vietnamese/Lao names rather than how the French at that time call it (Vinh = Nghệ An, Đồng Hới = Quảng Bình, Huế = Thừa Thiên, Tourane = Quảng Nam, Qui Nhơn = Bình Định, Sông Cầu = Phú Yên, Nha Trang = Khánh Hòa, Phan Rang = Ninh Thuận, Phan Thiết = Bình Thuận, Buôn Ma Thuột = Đắk Lắk, Đà Lạt = Đồng Nai Thượng (Đà Lạt has its own province-level special administrative region which can be shown in this map) and some provinces of Laos: Haut-Mekong = Houa Khong, Trấn Ninh = Houaphanh, Cammon = Khammuane, Bassac = Champasack/Champasak). It's optional in French version due to differences between how the French governors named it back then and how the French speaker call it now (if the French version is also need to change, Đồng Nai Thượng = Haut-Đồng Nai)

- Border between Thanh Hóa province and Nghệ An province (shows as Vinh) with Laos seems not right due to that border kept until now but looks different from the current one, so I need Thanh Hóa to have a small land point into Laos and west Nghệ An looks sharper, thanks! --Khanh ( talk | contribs | CA | vi ) 13:19, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tgeorgescu, could you provide a precise list of changes needed rather than examples? CMD (talk) 15:32, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chipmunkdavis: That would require a lot of work, and some of it may be questioned. So, I don't think I'm the proper person to do that. If you want a quick fix: just check the external map I have quoted there and check whether the percentage is above or below 50%. Tgeorgescu (talk) 16:01, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In File:Rail transport map of Turkey.png (German), File:Rail transport map of Turkey-m.png (German and English) and File:Rail transport map of Turkey in Turkish.png (Turkish), the high speed railway line between Ankara and Sivas needs to be colored in red, and the same line in File:TCDD.svg and its duplicate File:Tcdd network.png (also the Istanbul–Eskisehir section) needs to be colored in dark blue. The en:Ankara–Sivas high-speed railway opened on April 26, 2023. These maps, which were regularly updated for new extensions, have not been updated for this latest extension.

The worldwide heron range is incorrect. The mistake I found is that it claims there are no herons in Norway and Sweden. This is wrong, I've seen grey herons there myself. Maybe there are other errors too. Ribidag (talk) 20:36, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Public transport map for Oporto, Portugal

Request
Oporto never had a map or routes diagram that unifies the two major public transport networks that serve the metropolitan area: it's Metro and Suburban Trains, not even on specialized websites such as Urban Rail, which mentions briefly the suburban railway but doesn't show it's extension or stops. It'd be very nice to have a map that unifies those networks, to be used in several Wikipedia articles, in Portuguese and other languages.
It'd be a similar (though slightly less complex) work done on Public transport map of Rio de Janeiro. An official version of those two maps on the gallery (not on a free license, but for inspiration) are those two: Metro do Porto (subway) and the CP Urbanos do Porto (suburban train). Also, both the two free images above as well as the two official versions doesn't have recently constructed lines, and ideally would need to be corrected as well. --ArlindoPereira (talk) 09:21, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@OrdinaryScarlett As the requester it would be great if you provided a source for the update, so graphic worker knows what to change/add, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:56, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en: Ah, my apologies. The red Canal Streetcar Line to Cemeteries should be recolored red, the light green Canal Streetcar Line to City Park & Museum should be recolored red, the yellow Rampart–Loyola Streetcar Line should be recolored purple, and a new light blue line called the Loyola–Rampart Streetcar Line should be created running with the Rampart–Loyola Streetcar Line from Union Passenger Terminal to Rampart Street, then running with the Canal Streetcar Line from Rampart Street to Canal Street, where it turns and takes over the half of the dark blue Riverfront Streetcar Line from Canal Street to French Market. The dark blue Ricerfront Streetcar Line should be removed from the map, with the segment between John Churchill Chase Street and Canal Street being removed.
