The map that needs to be corrected
A map showing correct borders

Article(s): Roman Empire

Request: In the orthographic projection, the Roman Empire's northern border (from the western edge of the Black Sea to the North Sea needs to be corrected. The northern border of Roman Britain also needs to be slightly adjusted. The second map shows the correct borders. The rest of the borders could also use some cleanup, so anything else that brings it closer to the second map would be appreciated. Swarm ^X 07:29, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Historic map of Arabia[edit]

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 07:02, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Saudi Arabia,History of Saudi Arabia

Request: The labeling on the map is very small (and can't be read even in History of Saudi Arabia where it's 350px, can they be made bigger to be more readable? The only labels that need to be made bigger are the ones in the main blue area, the green area (labeled Hejaz) on Red sea coast, and the yellow area (labled upper Asir) in the bottom left. There seems to be plenty of space to do it. The other labels in the other areas are not relevant to the articles so can stay small. The other thing is there are dates under the label written in a strange way with year and month running into each other eg "192207". Can they be changed to eg "07/1922" or, preferably, if there is enough room "July 1922" DeCausa (talk) 09:15, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Helpful map of one of the stages of the battle.
This is a very detailed map of operations during the 2-day battle. It is overloaded with info, and would need to be broken down, according to the stages of the battle.
a basic map that could be used in making the requested map. It shows the basic geography of the battlefield.

Article(s): Battle of Wagram (Major expansion of the article to come).

Request: Create a few well-illustrated and catchy maps of the battle. Ideally, 4 maps would be needed (see below). Alexandru Demian (talk) 16:38, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am currently preparing a major expansion of the article about the battle of Wagram. I need a few well-illustrated and complete maps, such as of the Gebora-en.svg the one you have made for the battle of Gebora. Ideally, four maps would be needed:

1. one map showing operations on 5 July: the French crossing of the Danube
2. one map showing operations on 5 July: the evening attacks.
3. one map showing the early operations on 6 July
4. one map showing the French attacks and Austrian retreat late on 6 July.

Some good maps are available here. There are also some very reliable and well illustrated maps of the battle in Ian Castle's "Aspern & Wagram 1809: Mighty Clash Of Empires".--Alexandru Demian (talk) 16:38, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sri Lanka Navy area of operations[edit]

Resolved

Use this map or another that may not be cropped as much
Graphist rendition (note the striped area is an overlap between two Naval Areas)

Article(s): Sri Lanka Navy (please add to page when complete; under the organization section)

Request: Please utilize the sources below to create a map depicting the area of operations for the Sri Lanka Navy as best you see fit. Each page has specific geo-locations. Thank you. Evan.oltmanns (talk) 13:38, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Northwestern Naval Area - http://www.navy.lk/index.php?id=2910
Eastern Naval Area - http://www.navy.lk/index.php?id=98
North Central Naval Area - http://www.navy.lk/index.php?id=95
Northern Naval Area - http://www.navy.lk/index.php?id=96
Southern Naval Area - http://www.navy.lk/index.php?id=97
Western Naval Area - http://www.navy.lk/index.php?id=93

Graphist opinion: I originally intended to simply create lines indicating the boundaries between the different naval areas. However, this became untenable once I discovered that the Southern and Eastern areas overlapped. So, instead, I created the map using different colors to indicate the different naval areas. I enabled transparency so that the overlap between the Southern area (blue) and the Eastern area (purple) would be visible (indigo). The image is a bit crowded for labels to be realistic, but I can put them in if you want them. Ninjatacoshell (talk) 17:55, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the graphic is along the lines of what I was looking for but I am not sure about the use of colors; I find them to be a bit distracting. Your original intentions seem to be in line with what I had in mind and, although I was unaware of the overlap, I do not see the area as a big issue. I think the best fix for that would be to simply add an area of hash marks and describe the overlap somewhere on the article, as a caption, or on the image page. Labeling may then be an issue though maybe we can use acronyms such as: NwNA (or NWNA), NcNA (or NCNA), ENA, WNA, SNA, and NNA. What are your thoughts? Evan.oltmanns (talk) 19:45, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So you'd like just lines for the boundaries except for the overlap, which would be hashed or striped? I think that might work, if that's what you're saying. Or if you like the colored boundaries, but not the particular colors that I chose, do you have suggestions? As for the labels, I think acronyms would work. Or just Eastern, Northwestern, etc. Whatever you want. Ninjatacoshell (talk) 01:04, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the best thing to do for now would be to reduce the clutter of the image and wait and see what others say about it in the future. I will try to find someone who works on military maps exclusively but if I am unable to locate anyone we can just leave it as is (following the two suggestions I have) for now. I think one of two ways would be best; I made a Google Docs drawing with my two ideas (hopefully you can get a sense of what I mean in my second idea, if its not clear let me know): https://docs.google.com/drawings/edit?id=1d4PzO_Fg2aMRObNUySiftgxHH6aW9AzCiNkPNTMauEo&hl=en&authkey=COjhn4IJ (hopefully that link works for you) I like how you have the description of what the colors are in the picture page so maybe we can have something similar regarding the acronym labels. Thanks again for your help. Evan.oltmanns (talk) 23:13, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I played around with your second example, but everything I tried just looked cheesy. And the colored text is hard to read. So I went with your first example. I changed the lines to a dark cyan so that they don't look so garish against the pale map. I can change it to a different color, if you like. One more question: Do you think we should leave the little bit of India that is visible or remove it? Ninjatacoshell (talk) 00:37, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That looks awesome. I don't see any reason to remove the bit of India; its just the way it is. The only other thing that I think the image would need is location markers (like the map on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Jayawardenapura-Kotte) for the headquarters of each Naval Area but that is something I do not have at this time (not even sure if each has a HQ anyway) so its a non-issue. Anyways, looks good and thanks for your diligence. I'll contact you if I should think of anything different. Evan.oltmanns (talk) 04:44, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

United States Military Entrance Processing Command map[edit]

Good base map the easiest to manipulate, though San Juan would need to be added.

Request: Hello. I would like to see if anyone could make a map for Skanderbeg's Albania.

I also have a map (not under WikiLicense) of Albania's important roads which may be useful.
