Contributing

[edit]

To contribute to this map, create a Wikidata item that is an instance of (P31) stay-at-home order issued in the United States in response to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic (Q88509703) and add a applies to jurisdiction (P1001) statement, as well as start time (P580) and end time (P582) statements, if known. – Minh Nguyễn 💬 15:58, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If an order has been extended, rescinded, or allowed to expire, please find the order's Wikidata item (by clicking on the map or running the linked Wikidata Query Service query) and update the item by adding a separate claim about the new end date. Please keep the old end date in place but add "start date" and "end date" qualifiers to it and a "start date" qualifier to the new claim. Ideally, set the new claim's rank to preferred, and add a reference to the new claim. For example, Louisiana's stay-at-home order has been extended twice, so it has three "end dates", all of them with qualifiers and references, but only the latest one is preferred. – Minh Nguyễn 💬 20:13, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Idea to Improve Usability

[edit]

Is it possible to make it so the smaller jurisdictions are over the larger ones? For example if you zoom in on the Bay Area you cannot select the counties there because the polygon for all of California is over them. I do not understand the query language enough to know how to do this or if it is possible. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2603:3024:E0F:E400:C8EE:C2E8:B0B6:4DA5 (talk) 08:38, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently it's possible to make the smaller geometries draw above the larger ones, but unfortunately that doesn't keep the larger geometries from intercepting click events. – Minh Nguyễn 💬 21:44, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New York State

[edit]

The icon of New York State on the map should be the darkest shade of blue, as it came into effect before March 22. Also, the border with New Jersey is inconsistent. --Numberguy6 (talk) 16:18, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New York's order was issued on March 21 but took effect March 22. The gaps between New York and New Jersey arise from the Douglas-Peucker simplification that Kartotherian's geoshape service performs. – Minh Nguyễn 💬 06:24, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

End dates of orders

[edit]

Many of the end dates of the stay-at-home orders are past. Do these need to be updated? --Numberguy6 (talk) 18:52, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've been slowly updating many of these orders, based on news reports and (in Texas and Missouri) county listings, but it's just as daunting a task as getting them into Wikidata in the first place. You're welcome to help by adding new claims with the new dates. I've updated the contributing instructions above. – Minh Nguyễn 💬 20:11, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

San Francisco

[edit]

Why is it not colored as part of the Bay Area's stay-at-home order? I assume it is something to do with the city/county distinction, but I can't figure out how to fix it. --Numberguy6 (talk) 19:21, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I fixed it by changing the Wikidata entry for the order from "San Francisco County" to "San Francisco". --Numberguy6 (talk) 19:32, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
