These 5 scans are of a big map which is made 1556 on 5 pieces of paper of about one meter each. The scans are rectangular but the maps should be stitched according to the diagonal and vertical cuttings of the paper, and the end result should be something like a zigzag. Thank you so much in advance! (btw in the gallery above I used the thumbs as examples, because the maps to be used are rather big, hope that's okay;) & Sorry for requesting twice by accident!)

Beeld&Geluid Stadsarchief Delft I have looked at this and I think I can help you but it would be very helpful if you could show me a complete image of the finished map. It doesn't have to be perfect or high resolution, just so I can see which peace should go where, thanks. Please ping me. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:48, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
Goran tek-en & Beeld&Geluid Stadsarchief Delft I propose the orientation for these five segments as:
- 119501 - horizontal, upper left corner of canvas
- 119502 - vertical, starts at right side of 119501
- 119503 - vertical, below 119502
- 119504 - vertical, below 119503
- 119505 - vertical, slightly right at bottom of 119504, lower right corner of canvas
I worked this out by looking at the lower-res versions and attempting to match up the pieces. The 119503 piece needs special attention because the scale is larger then 11902 above and 11904 below. - DutchTreat (talk) 16:33, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
I created the following guide for stitching the five maps. [[

Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 18:16, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- DutchTreat Thanks for great info and guide. I didn't find any scale difference for 119503, matched perfectly. But for 119505 it's different it doesn't fit. The river is much more narrow on 505 than on 504 and the way they are drawn doesn't look the same, meeting 4-5. If you are sure it should go there I will continue but I need your feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:15, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- I am not sure what to say. I'm doing a visual inspection like you. For me, the 4-5 looked like a match. When I look at your version, I see what you mean. It doesn't match. - DutchTreat (talk) 18:31, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- Do you get a match if you use the left side of 119505? Beeld&Geluid Stadsarchief Delft said the layout would be 'Z' shaped. - DutchTreat (talk) 18:38, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

I'm very greatfull for all you help already :-) Indeed, i think so too: because Delft is in the South of Leiden and 'de Sijl' is in the north east of Leiden, so the city of Leiden should be attached tot the 4th map, we think. (mentioned as the ' left side' of 119505 above indeed) Unfortunately the map maker didnt make marks where tot stitch nor used a sign to mark the North. Are you helped if we would upload a map of the South of Holland from arond the same time (not so detailed however) or can i insert an image as exemple?

This tiny file from 2013 I found shows how the maps supposed to be stitched according to a restaurator, only Low Res. For the final stitched version the information can be as follows: Name: Map of De Vliet by Coenraet Oelensz., 1556, SA Delft, stitched. Description: Map of De Vliet, stitched from maps 119501, 119502, 119503, 119504 and 119505, made bij Coenraet Oelensz in 1556. Further info I can add after the upload. Beeld&Geluid Stadsarchief Delft (talk) 14:39, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- Beeld&Geluid Stadsarchief Delft Thanks for the map. Yes It would help me with that map "South of Holland from around the same time" so I can find the position of Leiden. Do you want all the surrounding area to be transparent on the map or have a background color? --Goran tek-en (talk) 08:25, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- Great work! Goran tek-en I would recommend a transparent background. This offers more flexibility. Since, adding color later would be easy. We welcome your input: Beeld&Geluid Stadsarchief Delft - DutchTreat (talk) 09:55, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
Beeld&Geluid Stadsarchief Delft, DutchTreat Now you can find it here file:Map of De Vliet by Coenraet Oelensz_1556_SA Delft_stitched.png. This file is with transparent background. If you want another version just contact me.
This is a very large file in px and I understand you want this high resolution but for most purposes I would think it's to big. Commons create smaller versions but often when you down scale an image like that you have to sharpen it to look good. So if you need smaller versions just contact me.

- Cropping
- This scanned map is so large/detailed that I can't crop this image myself. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 03:10, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- Graphist opinion(s)
Hi Geographyinitiative, I could use more information about your intent use of the resulting image. Not sure if you noticed, the map projection causes the central body of the images to be non-rectangular: the edges are not straight. The cropped image would not be rectangular, so a file format like PNG with a transparency layer might be better than JPEG. Would this still suit your needs? If the objective is to stitch this image with any other map images, then a GIS program may be needed to handle the projection. If this is the case, then a GeoTIFF image with embedded coordinates would be even better suited. Please let me know your thoughts on file formats related to how the cropped image will be utilized. - DutchTreat (talk) 10:38, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- My old computer was not able to crop an image of this size and I forgot that I wanted to crop this image. I may do this next week on a better computer. My only goal is to remove the white areas around the edge. If there is more that can be done, by all means do it! I don't understand all the things you said, but this map is a little known and sparsely populated region of north Tibet that deserves a little closer examination. Thanks for your reply. Geographyinitiative (talk) 12:42, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- Geographyinitiative Nice to hear that you are looking to feature unique areas of north Tibet. Instead of creating a new file that is cropped, you may prefer to use a Wikipedia template to create the needed cropping from the original source image. See more details and an example on the English Wikipedia w:Template:Annotated image. I hope this method will allow you to be productive. - DutchTreat (talk) 13:07, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- Geographyinitiative I provided two samples of cropping using the template with your map as input: w:User:DutchTreat/Projects/Maps#Tibet. To clarify my statement about the non-rectangular image, this is caused by creating a flat map from the round shape of the Earth. This is further explained in the article w:Map projection. - DutchTreat (talk) 17:38, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- I added one of your cropped images to the Janne Corax page. Geographyinitiative (talk) 08:33, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

I also looked at trying to regenerate the map from NaturalEarth data using qgis, but there's still no way to get SVGs out of qgis anymore that doesn't suck. I just don't have the time or the energy to restructure a complex SVG in a text editor while cross-referencing ISO 3166-2 charts and at least one other map right now.

Hispano76 The file is very big in px and has extremely many nodes (drawing points) as this probably came from some data source. I have decreased the size and simplified the lines. This means that a very large amount of nodes has been thrown away so the lines are not as exact as they were before, incorrect when you really zoom in. This is a draft so check it and tell me if you think it's fine like this. The lines are sharp even though they don't look so, it's depending on the different libraries servers uses to display svg.

- This widely used map of India created in 2006, is outdated and needs to be updated, because a new state and two union territories have been created, but have not been added to this map. The new state that is missing is Telangana, which was created in 2014; and the state of Jammu and Kashmir (state) which was abolished in 2019 and divided into the two new union territories of Jammu and Kashmir (union territory) and Ladakh the same year. In addition, the name of Bombay needs to be changed to Mumbai in the map, because this city was officially renamed in 1995. Also, the name of the region of Tibet needs to be removed from the map of China, because only country names are used for all of India's neighbors in this map, as a matter of consistency. --Karalainza (talk) 10:12, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Suggested new map
-
additional new map on reserve routes
Article(s): Horseshoe route
- Request
- A map was recently added to the article with this edit but it is really not suitable and does not even show the actual airmail route that was flown and omits the ship portion between Durban and the UK that was an essential part of completing the mail delivery. This map, linked on this webpage, http://postalcensorship.com/examples/ww2dei/c_ww2dei.html, though small, shows the actual route plus several others used during WWII but the article is only interested in the solid black route shown plus the "steamer" route shown. New Zealand should be included as well as the TEAL route. For better locations I can provide a list of cities. The 1935 predecessor route is displayed about but does not show the exact WWII routing. I can also supply the wikigraphist offline with better quality more detailed images from other specialist publications I have in my library if needed. --Ww2censor (talk) 21:26, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Request taken by DutchTreat (talk) 10:56, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Ww2censor - Let me summarize your request. The content of this map is to show three routes. First and mainly, Horseshoe route from Durban to Sydney. Second, the streamer route from Durban to London. Third, the TEAL route from Sydney to Auckland. All three are displayed in the image from postalcensorship.com. Please confirm that I understand the main parts. Also, I am not sure how the Imperial routes April 1935 image relates. Is this additional background information or is there parts of this map that are needed for your request. Thanks - DutchTreat (talk) 10:56, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- DutchTreat: thank you for considering making this map. I'll try to explain better. So to Imperial Airways route map of 1935 was the development of the route to Australia and when the war interrupted it, when the route via Italy became unavailable it became: by steamer from the UK to Durban, then by air up Africa to Egypt and continuing the basic route as per 1935 onwards to Australia. The actual flown portion of "horseshoe route" was from Durban to Sydney. The TEAL route was basically an extension of that route to NZ. That was my reason for showing the 1925 map because it shows basically half the segment that continued during the war. The "postalcensorship.com" map show other routes that we are not concerned with and I happen to like that 1930s style but whatever you can make I am sure will be fine. As I said I have several other maps you could use a s reference but the one above is the only one on the commons that comes close. Just ask anything else if you need more clarity. I presume an svg file would be best. Thanks Ww2censor (talk) 11:46, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- Ww2censor I agree that the 1935 map has an artistic and classic look. The Wikipedia Map Community uses a recommended style guide with color choices that is more bland and less unique. I am going to stay within these conventions for consistency. A few details:
- A. On the steamer route, shall Southampton or London be the terminal port?
- B. Is Lisbon needed as shown on the "Airmail Connections to and from the Dutch East Indies..." map from postalcensorship.com? This might have been a stop for the steamer, but it is not clear from the map.
- C. What does TEAL stand for? I believe this is an air route, not sea route. Should the route from Sydney to Auckland just say 'TEAL'?
Let me start with these maps, so no need to provide more at this time. I agree that SVG format will be best. - DutchTreat (talk) 12:44, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- DutchTreat:
- A: I presume Southampton but I will confirm. I have been through most of my set of WWII weekly GPO mail branch reports and nowhere do they actually mention the port of departure. Phrases such as: dispatched from London, by steamer, by sea, by Union Castle steamer, etc, but neither Southampton, Plymouth or London are mentioned. I'll keep checking.
- B: I cannot confirm Lisbon was ever a port-of-call between England and Durban.
- C: Tasman Empire Airways Ltd. - indeed an airmail route. It could possibly be provided as a key on the map.
- Perhaps a small key would be good showing the steamer, horseshoe route and TEAL elements. Ww2censor (talk) 14:01, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- Ww2censor I can add a key as you describe it. Need more of your expert knowledge. The source map includes several points which are not labelled:
- D: From Sydney to unknown. Is this w:Melbourne?
- E: North of this point, this is no red dot, but change in course. This could be a refueling point. The other author has the city of Darwin (-7.265278, 112.7425) on the current map for the WP article. This city is not close to this change in course from the source map.
- F: From Singapore, to an unknown in north Laos?
- G: From Rangoon to an unknown location. Is this w:Calcutta (4.86, 67.01)?
- H: From Allahabad to an unknown location. Is this w:Karachi (-12.438056, 130.841111)?
- All the other points are clear to me. Thanks for filling in the gaps! - DutchTreat (talk) 18:55, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- Ww2censor My first draft map is available for your review and comment: File:Horseshoe Route 1940-en.svg. Please feel free to suggest any changes. I made some assumptions about the cities. I will not be able to address any changed for about one week. Will get back to as soon as I can. - DutchTreat (talk) 12:20, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- DutchTreat: Thanks for your first draft. That’s a nice start based on the crappy little map I referenced.
- Here is a list of the cities: North from Durban, Laurenco Marques, Brira, Lumbo, Lindi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Port Bell, Laropi, Juba, Malakal, Khartoum, Wadi Halfa, Cairo, then East to: Tiberius, Baghdad, Basra, Bahrain, Dubai, Jiwani, Karachi, Rajsamand Lake, Gwaloir, Allahabad, Calcutta, Akyab, Rangoon, Bangkok, Panang, Singapore, Bangka, Batavia, Sourabaya, Darwin, Grotte Eyjandt, Karumba, Townsville, Gladstone, Brisbane and Sydney.
- Would you consider making a small note below the heading, or in the legend, something like: “Later in the war, Japanese advances caused several deviations of the route between Australia and India”.
- I’m not a map expert but the map seems to be based on an equirectangular projection or perhaps it is a cylindrical projection that makes the UK and Ireland look quite small and distorted. Of course this just a perception based on ones point of viewing. One thought on that; would it perhaps be better to base the map on a Marcator projection, such as File:Mercator Blank Map World.png? Ww2censor (talk) 15:20, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- Ww2censor Thank you for the details on the waypoints. I will add them along with your note. The map projection is currently based on w:WGS-84 which will make the UK appear small, yet I think this Coordinate Reference System (CRS) still provides good accuracy. I will try Marcator for comparison but not sure this will be as accurate. Given me a few days to provide the next draft. - DutchTreat ( talk) 16:45, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- Ww2censor Need your assistence Geo referencing some of the cities on the route:
- I. Brira (between Laurenco Marques Lumbo) could not be found. I found Bria at (lat 6.529, 21,988) but it is pretty far off the route in middle of Africa. Found w:Beira, Mozambique which looks like a good fit to the route.
- J. Panang? Is this w:Yala, Thailand? Found w:Penang from the Imperial routes April 1935 map.

- Brilliant work and you found my misspellings for Beira and Penang. Sorry about that but you figured them put. This looks really great. I had just one thought. Would it not be better to put the Japanese deviation note in the Indian Ocean as that was essentially where the route got pushed to? Otherwise are you finished or is there anything else you need to do? Ww2censor (talk) 13:45, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Ww2censor Good suggestion. I'll move the Japanese deviation note. It is getting closer, but I would like to polish it up a bit. Do you have a better title or any subtitle to add? How about a date range "Sep 1939? to Oct 1945?"? - DutchTreat (talk) 09:47, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for asking. Actually the complete route only lasted from June 1940-March 1942, so that can be the subtitle. Perhaps while moving the Japan note could be modified to state "In April 1942 Japanese advances and attacks caused deviations to the route between India and Australia breaking the full route." In the Legend you might add the dates 1940-43 to the TEAL details. The stopping point names seem a little too close to the dots and the route, and in some instance they overlap, while the Middle East to India section names are rather cluttered, maybe put Rajsamand Lake on two lines and space them out a bit better. Maybe this is a bit pedantic and super critical but it will probably look a bit better. BTW, I've added the map to the top of the post; hopefully that's ok with you. Thanks you are nearly there now.

- Route 3: Rangoon - Port Blair (Andaman Islands) - Sabang - Padang - Batavia
- A 2nd source does show Bangka, as in the original route, that you show for all 3 routes. I still need to see if that was correct or not for the reserve routes. This webpage also the reserve routes. Did you just assume it from the original full route? Ww2censor (talk) 18:40, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Cyprus (including the breakaway Northern Cyprus which reverted from UTC +3 ("Turkey Time") to UTC +2, after ditching the one year long daylight saving experiment) is in UTC +2 and needs to be colored in brown.
Crimea which was annexed by Russia and the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia are in UTC +4 ("Moscow Time"), need to be colored in light green. There should be no black country borders for these places, only the thin red time zone borders.
These are the only changes in time zones which occurred since 2016 (except for Crimea where the time zone change already occurred in 2014 and in the breakaway regions in Georgia before that).

Odder I'm not sure if this is your request but if you want me to take this I need a requester to work with. Also would it not be better to make a new version of file:Standard Time Zones of the World (October 2015).svg as it's a svg file and easier to edit and better to use. If you want colors changed we can do that, Please always ping me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:45, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en: Yes, it would probably be better to create a new SVG version of File:Standard Time Zones of the World (October 2015).svg with this new colour scheme and information updated as mentioned by the anonymous user on my talk page. Happy to work with you on this. odder (talk) 10:41, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 11:18, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
- Odder I's not just coloring that is different.
- Should I always follow file:Standard time zones of the world.png even regarding red lines, islands that is in different zones etc?
- If you look down to left around French Polynesia and compare the two maps you can see what I mean, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:08, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en: I think it'd be nice to follow that scheme, so please do use red lines to indicate time zone differences or yellow shading for islands in different time zones, etc. Thank you so much for volunteering to do this! odder (talk) 10:04, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
- Odder What I also meant is that what belongs to a specific time zone is different between the two maps, should I always follow file:Standard time zones of the world.png? I have no knowledge of which is correct.--Goran tek-en (talk) 11:14, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Goran tek-en: Yes, please follow File:Standard time zones of the world.png including the changes suggested by the anonymous user as quoted above. Thanks again, odder (talk) 10:41, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Odder This has turned into something else than it was set out to but that is mainly on me. I want this map to be easy to edit and be drawn in a good way. So I have to redo most of it which takes time. I have a first draft for you now that contains the colors from this png but the information content comes from this svg which to my understanding is the latest version. So I have been working on both the 'technical' side as well as the content side.
- Right now I need your help to really really check the draft below which is a png version of the svg I work in. You have to help me to really check everything, time lines, borders, countries colors as from this svg without the asked updates. Once this is fine we will see how much of names and stuff that should be added. Draft-TZ-1. Please ping me when giving me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 12:35, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- Odder I do need your feedback to be able to continue, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:15, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
Rob984, Keyacom, UnaitxuGV I have been working on this request with the intention of creating a svg version with the yellow-green color scheme, not so heavy in Mb as file:Standard Time Zones of the World (October 2015).svg and easier to edit and update as the present svg version is made automatically from date and therefore hard to work with. There are other versions also file:Standard time zones of the world.png and File:World_Time_Zones_Map.png which is where I found your names.
I have lost contact with the requester here who was to help me with feedback and check the map. So my question to you is if anyone of you please could help med with check and feedback as it seems you have knowledge about his, it would help me a lot, thanks. This is a png draft version of the svg. Thanks for your help. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:39, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
odder Now you can find it here file:Time zones of the world-UTC.svg. As I have lost contact with you I will also mark this as resolved. If you are happy with this please put the code {{section resolved|1=~~~~}}
on this request so it can be archived, thanks. Done --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:12, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Beland I can help you with this but before I take it I want to know that you will be here to help me with your knowledge and information. I think the most effective way to translate this, and make it easier in the future, is to make a new svg version and move the legend away from the map into the infobox. So if all of this is fine with you I will need a list of the translation
- present word-translated word

You can look at this page, there are some examples how it can be used in wikipedia. --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:10, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Were you otherwise done with adding names and map colorization is next? -- Beland (talk) 17:49, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Yes I'm working on the coloring and will pretty soon have a draft for you. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:38, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

- The red areas, down and to the right are areas which is not covered in the original map. This is due to that my new base map and the original map had different rotations. What shall I put there? --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:57, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Update Angola SVG locator maps
Article(s): Angola provinces articles, for example en:Bengo Province, etc.
- Request
- The SVG locator maps in the category SVG locator maps of provinces in Angola need to be updated as one two of the provinces, Bengo and Luanda have changed in 2011-2012. This has already been reflected in File:Angola location map.svg which was originally used to create those locator maps and was changed in 2019. File:Luanda in Angola (special marker).svg is probably not needed and could be replaced by File:Luanda in Angola.svg in the articles that use it, but that’s not in the scope of this request. --moyogo (talk) 16:04, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
- Actually File:Angola location map.svg needs to be updated too. The Malanje province and the Lunda Norte province are different. See for example the Malanje province map on page 2 of this May 2020 document by the Instituto Nacional de Estatística. The difference seems to be the municipality of Quitapa which used to be in Lunda Norte (at least on maps or this government website from 2013) and is now in Malanje (see for example this list of communes or the SHP files called "DPA Angola" on this website, both from the Ministério da Administração do Territorio). ---moyogo (talk) 00:23, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

- There are some areas which I don't really understand and in the legend it is X.
- Give me feedback on what to change, thanks.
- This draft is a PNG version of the original SVG file I'm working in and will upload to commons. Draft-1. --always ping me--Goran tek-en (talk) 18:26, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- By toning I think you mean the dots referring to desertic areas? If so, there is no need to add them because the pattern for rivers is enough when representing these desertic areas.
- The new SVG map is meant to reflect only the political entities of the region. So there is no need do add neither the Bonaparte expedition nor the Russian campaigns.
- These areas are meant to reflect areas which where under Islamic influence over the past centuries before the Christian world took over. So there is no need to add them because the new SVG map is intended to reflect the political entities of the region in 1798 only.
- The new SVG map is good and faithful to the original. However, to make it better:
- Please remove the legend-key X along with the color representing it on the map.
- The second map-legend box is unnecessary: I suggest you put the compass along with the map scale in the bottom-right, then remove the legend-key Mountain areas along with the now-empty white box.
- In the first map-legend box, please sort the main political entities from west to east: Morocco (Alaouite dynasty), Jolof Empire, Hausa Kingdoms (Hausa and Kanem–Bornu), Ottoman Empire, Yemen (Zaidi Imamate), Persia (Qajar dynasty), Mughal Empire, Islamic Factories, British possessions, Other European colonies.
- In the first map-legend box, choose a bigger size for the font.
- Please change the color representing Islamic Factories because it could be easily mistaken with the color representing British possessions.
- Please make the color representing Persia (Qajar dynasty) more distinguishable from the color representing British possessions.

- Make the thickness of the squares smaller, so that the map looks clearer when opened in png.
- I created the map using Inkscape, but I don't know how to use it well. I want to ask if someone can make the thickness of the squares smaller (probably not one by one) and if it can fix the right black strip. Thank you a lot. --AT44 (talk) 23:40, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Graphist opinion(s)
AT44 I can help you with this but first I have to ask why you have made the map so large in pixels: 2,647 × 1,660. That is to big for most screens that people use or is it for a special reason?
When you make a map that large and then you have a thumbnail in an article of maybe 250 px wide it will be very hard to see anything. It is always difficult to get a thumbnail to work so to my understanding you have added difficulties by making it so big. Think about how big you want it to be on your screen when you view it in 100% and get back to me. Please always ping me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:48, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Request taken by DutchTreat (talk) 10:16, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
Smiley.toerist - I can help you join these three images. Using w:GIMP I will create a canvas large enough to contain all three images. Then, each of your map images can be loaded as a layer. These layers can be adjusted manually to align the edges. I see that there are a few rough edges. Slight rotation of the Geraardsbergen 1922.jpg will be needed to get a pleasing result.
What should be result joined map image be called? - DutchTreat (talk) 10:16, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- 'Flobecq - Geraardsbergen 1922.jpg', Thanks.Smiley.toerist (talk) 08:38, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Done Smiley.toerist Please find the joined version as File:Flobecq - Geraardsbergen 1922.png. It is a large file at over 60 MB. Since the files only aligned by making vertical adjustments and a slight rotation of the Eastern (Geraardsbergen) file, I decided to use PNG format with a transparent background. I hope this will be suitable for your needs. - DutchTreat (talk) 11:38, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Tagging as "Resolved" because the above map was being used in the English-language Wikipedia's article as of writint this, and no new developments have occurred here since its creation. I think that it's highly unlikely that this request isn't resolved. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 20:33, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
