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)

List of Scheduled Tribes in India

Request

To make states and union territories boundaries more visible. Now it is almost same as for districts.--Kaiyr (talk) 16:30, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr If the base map on Commons:file:Baiga distribution.svg has all the correct borders, you have to check and tell me!

we can use that and make a new svg version of the one you want.

To edit the present png file like you want is hard and for the future a svg version is so much better and easier to edit. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:12, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- My map with tehsil level (subdistrict). Your map in district level. I think it is only differet. You can make this map in this site also http://www.demographie.net/atlas2001/index.html --Kaiyr (talk) 14:06, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Unfortunately, the vast majority of people cannot, because modern web browsers removed support for Adobe Flash many years ago now. Remsense留 14:57, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok. Lets try.--Kaiyr (talk) 16:00, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr That link will not work for me. You have to help me here, I have zero knowledge about different divisions/levels in India.

Have you checked what we have at commons regarding svg maps of India divided, check this category and all of its subcategories to see if you can find a better base map. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:06, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have cheked. Everyting is ok. Kaiyr (talk) 18:12, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request taken by --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC).[reply]
Will be back with a draft. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr I just want you to know I'm working on it but I have also been trying to find a vector map down to tehsils. I have now found a dataset which I'm converting to a usable svg which I can upload as a base map with the three different levels. We can then use that for your request and for future usage. So it will take some more time. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:20, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

.So @Kaiyr I now have a draft for you for the basemap down to tehsils.

----

Those drafts are PNG versions of the original SVG file I'm working in and will upload to commons.

Those drafts are shown for proofreading only.

----

The colors are picked so that they work for most people even with color deficiencies.

So check this basemap and let me know if it will work for you or what to edit, Draft basemap-1. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:48, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr I would need your feedback per above, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:17, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr I haven't got any feedback so now I have uploaded the basemap down to tehsils which can be used to create other maps, as I will use it to do your request here now.

You can find it here Inda states districts tehsils by census 2011.

Please check all the information, also links for wikipedia, wikidata and structured data.

--always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:02, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr I just want you to know I am working on your request. Your source map and the background map I'm using does not line up, also the tehsils are different in those maps and your source map has even smaller divisions in it. All of this makes it rather complex, difficult and circumstantial to create the svg map. But I have gotten a good bit on it and will continue, thanks for your patience. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 10:53, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr

Now I have a Draft-1 for you to check. It was complex to redraw so really really check everything and give me feedback, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:27, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I cant see state borders. Kaiyr (talk) 15:45, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr Please Always ping me, thanks.

New Draft-2 with states. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:44, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr

I haven't heard from you so I uploaded what I had. If you want anything edited just ping me, thanks.

Now you can find it here Commons:file:Percent of scheduled tribes in India-tehsils-census 2011.svg.

Please check all the information, also links for wikipedia, wikidata and structured data.
If you are happy with this please put the code {{re.solved|~~~~}} (without the ".") on this request so it can be archived, thanks. Done

--always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:24, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Goran tek-en Thank you very much. Could you add Andaman&Nicobar if aI upload here or send to you? Can we change per cent to more presice one? 20%, 40%, 60%,80%? Kaiyr (talk) 06:19, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr Didn't see this until now, didn't get any ping, try the actual Ping {{ping|Goran tek-en}} the next time.

Sure we can do that, send me the info I need, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:21, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en:. I have updated png file with 20%, 40%, 60%,80% and added andaman and nicobar islands.--Kaiyr (talk) 10:15, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr

Draft added-1.

If any of the colored areas (other than the islands) has changed you will have to tell me which, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:00, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr I do need your feedback to be able to continue, thanks. --always ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:53, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I dont know which tehsils were changed. But I think only several. Kaiyr (talk) 17:19, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Philippine Fisheries Management Areas[edit]

Png of EEZ, note the extension on the northeast which was made after the Fisheries Management Law not in the external links below.

Article(s): Fisheries management
Request: In 2019 the Philippines divided its waters into 12 "Fisheries Management areas", covering both its territorial waters and its exclusive economic zone. There are some good maps of the original 12 out there eg. and eg., but not to my knowledge one on Wikipedia. I am not even sure we have an svg of the EEZ, the standard image we use is the png above. One interesting note on that png is it includes the Benham Rise, which was annexed after the creation of the FMAs. Supposedly this area got its own FMA, and while I can't find a map of that or the primary legislatoin it likely should be labelled separately, perhaps as "Philippine Rise". An svg would be best due to this, for easy modification of the label. As for the original 12, the legislation is Fisheries Administrative Order 263 which includes the precise borders of all 12 areas by latitude and longitude. CMD (talk) 09:16, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion: There seems to be KML data here but as the FoI portal is undergoing maintenance it is currently inaccessible. – Isochrone (talk) 16:37, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Postal code

Request

Is it possible to make the United states striped in the colors for 5 and 9? Both lengths of ZIP codes are commonly used in the US. Some other countries on the map have different length postcodes as well but only for certain regions or special purposes while in the US one can basically choose which one to use. -- 188.23.202.105 (talk) 17:20, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

The image description page says Maximum possible length of a complete postal code is shown. Seems to me it should remain marked as 9 only. Nyttend (talk) 11:46, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Tour de France Femmes[edit]

Article(s): 2024 Tour de France Femmes
Request: Hi, I'm looking for someone to do a free version of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes map - the official one is here. The map would need to label Netherlands and Belgium, maybe showing those countries in a different colour to the bright yellow of France? I would also probably use The Hague rather than the French "La Haye". A good example is below from 2015. As previously, I asked Andrei loas who has previously done excellent maps (e.g. this for the 2015 men's race) if he could create one, but he hasn't got back to me unfortunately.

This is last years map, by the excellent M.Bitton.
