The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps. This specific page is the requests page for the Map workshop. Anyone can make a request for a map to be created or improved for a Wikipedia article. The standard format for making a request is shown below, along with general advice, and should be followed.
You are encouraged to share information and request advice from others. Also see possible conventions toolbox, map tutorials and topographic map tutorials.
Advice to requesters
What do we do?
Location maps
Area maps (animals, languages, empires, etc.)
Historical and conflict related maps
Battle maps
Technical maps (archaeology, city closeups, etc.)
Sourced requests: If possible, please try to provide a reliable source to create a map. This includes a map already on Wikipedia with a reliable source or an external link.
Please check: Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed.
Direct collaboration: Some mapmakers are especially interested by one topic area. If you notice a mapmaker fitting your needs, consider asking on their personal talk page to request maps.
{{Reqmap}}: To request a map, you can also tag the talk page of the article in need of a map with or {{Reqmapin|Australia}} (articles then appear in Category:Wikipedia requested maps)
If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.
Advice to Graphists
If you have completed work and not received a reply you may use the {{GL Map reply}} template to inform the requester.
Map makers and other visitors to the Graphics Lab may be interested in the RSS feed of changes to this page. You may find it here.
I am just wondering can somebody make a Map of US states with the Uncommitted vote in 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries. The higher the % number the darker the color of the state would be. Here are the numbers.
All articles pertaining to city landmarks in Tripoli
Request
I would like to request a pushpin map for Tripoli, Lebanon, to be used on all pages related to locations within the city. This would greatly enhance the geographical context for readers and contribute to the overall quality of the articles. For your reference, I have included two links:
80+ countries have an Information privacy law. I went to the article because I needed to see where in the world these are. Unfortunately there is no such map on the article. The paper cited in the article is from 2012 so I hope a better source can be found, but even a 2012 data map would be better than no map. Thanks a lot! -- Syced (talk) 02:35, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Syced Why only ask a question and not provide the latest data?
A quick search shows 2023 as the latest of 8 reports by the same author. 2024 seems not available.
Beyond 23 weeks legal with two doctors' approval. Safe access zones of 150 metres provided around abortion clinics.[21]
(Canada)
There is no abortion law in Canada, but provincial and territorial health regulations and professional bodies restrict the procedure to various grounds or gestational limits. There are also significant disparities between rural and urban access to abortion.[3][1]
The province is governed by the Access to Abortion Services Act, which limits political demonstrations outside abortion-providing facilities, doctor's offices, and doctor's homes to set distances. BC Women's Hospital & Health Centre can provide late-term abortions in Vancouver up until the 25th week of pregnancy (its CARE Program).[24] There are six abortion clinics throughout the province that can be accessed without a doctor referral and upwards of 30 hospitals that are required to perform abortions with a doctor's referral.[25][26]
The province has limited access for those in rural communities. Aspiration or surgical procedures are available for up to 19 weeks and 6 days. Medical abortions up to 9 weeks.[27]
New Brunswick does not use public funding to pay for abortion services outside of hospital settings. This means that abortions provided in clinics are not funded by the government.[28]
In Nova Scotia, there is an abortion clinic in Halifax or someone needing an abortion can call the abortion helpline for other options throughout the province that may be closer to them.[32]
Intimidation of and interference with patients or providers are illegal in "safe access zones" around abortion-providing clinics and other requesting health care facilities; the offices (on request) of providing doctors, nurses, pharmacists and some other providers; and providers' homes under the Safe Access to Abortion Services Act, 2017.[34] There are nine regions in Ontario where abortion is available with full spectrum doula services.[30][3]
Prince Edward Island offers in province abortions up until 12 weeks and 6 days pregnant. After that limit, an out of province surgical abortion would have to be performed. A referral must be obtained through a PEI physician prior to any surgical procedure.[35]
The province has a multitude of options for abortion access.[36] Historically, late-term abortions (beyond 30 weeks) had to be performed in the US with all expenses paid by the Quebec government. This changed in 2020 because of Covid travel restrictions.[37]
Color-coded map illustrating availability of abortion in Canada, in weeks of embryonic age (from fertilization). Abortion is legal at all stages in Canada, but availability is subject to medical guidelines.
There's already a template that shows the Canadian situation: Is it OK (23 weeks + 6 days = 24 weeks)? Does it need an update? If so, what adjustments does it need?
@Groetjes, Peter Hi again, The Canadian map looks like the kind of map i wanted with the 'gestational age' (fertilization age), in weeks. The Australian map sadly doesn't have the 'gestational age' (fertilization age), in weeks. I would like the Australian abortion map to be like the Canadian and United states map with 'gestational age' (fertilization age), in weeks. It makes it simpler and similar. Thanks.

Let's not use confusing US standards / measurements in maps of other countries. The colours in the different maps are in sync, keeping in mind the differences kwami talked about.
Canadian:
What I need to know, with sources, is whether the map is up to date.
Has Nunavut changed its medical guidelines from up to 20 weeks, down to up to 12 weeks?
Has Manitoba changed its medical guidelines from 16 weeks, to up to 20 weeks (19w+6d)?
Australian:
I'll make the map, based on the data in the above table.
I know it's a slightly different map, but it would be nice if you could look into the laws behind it, to see if it's still up to date.
I'm just a mapmaker, not an expert on every topic. As a mapmaker, I think this old map displays the capitol policy very poorly. I'd like to improve it, but when I don't know whether things have changed, I'd better not.

^ abMost laws of New South Wales and Queensland, including their abortion laws, are set to apply to Norfolk Island after 2026.[6][7] The Criminal Code of Norfolk Island, which remains in force in the territory, does not prohibit abortion.[8]
Hi @Dan Leonard, I'm not familiar with ArcGIS data, but if you can copy the data tables, and select the Pennsylvanian nodes, you can convert them to a map like this one to the right. Click on edit source to see the code.
Type, coord, title, description, marker and marker-color all have the same unique number per row.
In this example, row3 defines a line around Pennsylvania (id3 = Wiki data id Q1400)
If a quick selection isn't possible, you can always trim the dataset down by coords (Pennsylvania is pretty square).
The article Leagues Cup, a soccer tournament in North America, has a section on its format. I need help with displaying the locations of the teams from each organization into one single labeled map of all teams from Mexico (Liga MX teams shown at bottom), Canada, and the US (both countries' MLS teams shown at top). This format would have MLS team location dots in blue and Liga MX teams in green. This map doesn't have to have individual states shaded (as the one in MLS). I am hoping that an editor may help me with creating one, or if possible, may please create one for me. Here are the maps in question that are to be used for reference:
Would a map like on this page 2024–25 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup be good? Viewers can [ ] enlarge the map to fullscreen mode and zoom in, show nearby articles.
Test 1: Using template MLS labeled map and location map Mexico.
Results:
MLS is not in needed map coords: lookup coords stadiums in format 49.276667|-123.111944|Vancouver Whitecaps FC
MEX map example is not in stadium, zoom in to see difference, lookup coords stadiums too.
The old maps don't use any logo of the clubs. I'd suggest adding them to the labels: click on pins to see them. Click enlarge map to zoom/pan/check all the details. Reload to refresh map. San Jose = big logo 200px, the rest in 50px version.
Any ideas about what should be included in the descriptions?
We'll need to test whether they can be displayed through a template, if that counts as displaying the images on an article, which is allowed. This page doesn't count as an article... Groetjes, Peter (talk) 09:01, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Groetjes, Peter, thank you for approaching my proposal. My apologies for not swiftly responding to your feedback. I have seen the map and at a glance, is very reminiscent of what I’m looking for. The map includes the needed coordinates without being cluttered with the individual team names. I appreciate your dedication. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 02:15, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Map request of Auckland region local government areas
@Traumnovelle, did you try to find a digital version of the map yourself? If so, which sources did you already check?
I've searched a bit more info, but I'm not familiar with NZ sources and border changes, so I hope that others can take the job on. I've made maps in the old days with paper and a lightbox, and not every drawer was as precise, so the old map might contain a few faults as well. A good "1967-borders-alike" source would save a lot of drawing time.
Maybe https://www.stats.govt.nz/ does have downloadable maps and data, maybe there are more suitable govt.nz sources;
Perhaps there's a special add-on tool available for QGIS like PDOK for the Netherlands.
Here are a few maps on Commons. Some borders are recognisable, but many have changed, like the south part of the Auckland region: The old map also stretches onto a piece of current Waikato + Hauraki (gather those sources if you use modern maps to reproduce the old).
You mean a digital version of a map of counties and boroughs of the Auckland region? That is probably the best image of them I can find. The maps you've provided show completely different boundaries to the old local government areas which haven't existed since 1989. I didn't suggest a specific map of Auckland because I don't see one on Commons best suited for the task: [2] would be best if higher resolution but the low resolution may cause issues with drawing boundaries.
The old map probably isn't perfect but the only other material are physical maps and maps of the specific borough e.g.: [3] are mostly undigitised, even if they all were it'd be an incredibly tedious task although I am happy to provide as many of these individual maps as I can find if one were to seriously want to try and get the borders as precise as that.

I am trying to update the map for the United States Climate Alliance which seriously needs a new version with all the states correctly highlighted with better colors as well. I already have a new SVG file for it, (no need to make a new map on your end) but I have a question:
My version derives from another file, so I want to attribute to it on the "File usage on commons" section below. How does that work?
Hi @BrakeCoach,
It does not work that way. Usage on commons refers to files that are used in infoboxes, galleries and such. Commons is not Wikipedia, so I won't edit those. The flag is an example of usage on Commons.
You can use the description of your file to honour the original file/user. Enter it while uploading, or edit the Summary on Commons, once you've uploaded it. The blue warning sign sums up the other signs in a coloured series. You might click edit of said paragraph and see how this particular example is coded.
Thank you for letting me know, I am pretty new with everything, so I didn't know where to ask, I think I have asked the question in 2ish different places here. I realized that I just had to ask to gain edit access from wikimedia commons.
The images in Question were mainly based off sources such as
Rees maps
Historic county trust
RCAHMW[Commotes and Cantrefs ect]
If you want to know more about sources used, please ask.
Lastly, im fairly sure the asthetic sould look professional in a way sombody like me could not recreate to meet the standards of some people anyway im sure you guys know what you're doing when it comes to this. Editor account 2222 (talk) 23:52, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy. I'm looking for a map of Okinawa Island itself that will work with Template:Location map. Currently, it seems like only a map of the Ryukyu Islands and the Okinawa Prefecture exist with it, which are much too big for what I'm looking for. This would be useful to mark the locations of individual gusuku and other cultural heritage sites. -- Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 17:04, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, can someone please fix this map, as it incorrectly shows that Slavonian Military Frontier is Croatian Military Frontier. The area on the map where there is acronym C.M.F. should instead have written S.M.F. (Slavonian Military Frontier). Thanks a lot. -- Franjo Tahy (talk) 13:08, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion
This map is similar to the map of the Kingdom of Slavonia to the right, which has the same C.M.F. indication, and a long list of referenced sources in its description. It seems like the borders didn't change a lot in the range of a few centuries. Can you link to reliable sources that prove the above map should indeed be altered?
