Article(s): Israel Railways and others

Request:

Can someone please create an updated map of the Israel Railways system? File:Ir2011map2.png can serve as a basis for it. The necessary changes are:

1. The "Yavne" station on the Ashkelon-Binyamina line (blue on the current map) should be called "Yavne East"
2. The Yavne West-Hod HaSharon line (red on the current map) needs to be extended to the Ashdod and Ashkelon stations.
3. The HaRishonim-Tel Aviv line (purple on the current map) needs to be extended to the Tel Aviv Savidor Central station.
4. The use of the colors on the original map has no basis in reality - it should probably be changed for copyright reasons.

The official map of Israel Railways, which includes the English names for the stations, can be found at http://www.rail.co.il/HE/Tickets/Map/Pages/map.aspx - so you can see that the information I gave you is correct. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 16:11, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

 Question: (1) You said Tel Aviv Savidor Central but both maps refer to it as Tel Aviv Savidor Center. I'll take it the maps are correct and you made a typo?

 Question: (2) Why is there an un-named station marker between Ben Gurion Airport and Paatei Modi'in on the png (not on the map on the official site)?

and

svg and make your amendments, probably finish it in a day or so. Begoon ^talk 16:37, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply

1. Yes, "Savidor Center" is right - I misremembered the translation when I wrote this up. (Either way, in Hebrew it's Merkaz).
2. The unmarked station is probably a mistake - there is no station there. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 17:07, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Great - thanks for the quick answers - it's late here, so I'll start it tomorrow - should be pretty straightforward. Cheers. Begoon ^talk 17:11, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Done: Ok - done as File:Israel Railways map 2013.svg. Because I completely redrew it I retyped all the station names, so I'd be very grateful if you could give it a good look over/proofread and let me know if I made any errors or typos. I left the colours as they were, but if you really want to change them, specify some new ones and I'll alter them.

The type for the station names is created as "paths" (shapes) to prevent any potential rendering errors with

rsvg and fonts, but for future editing the basic type is contained in a hidden svg layer. Font is Helvetica Regular 13pt, and rotation for the "angled" names is +/- 35 degrees. Cheers. Begoon ^talk 13:04, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply

You did make one mistake - the station immediately south of "Lod" on the purple and blue lines is supposed to be "Be'er Ya'akov", not "Lod Ganei Aviv". עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:01, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Heh... Thanks, and now it's corrected. That's because I copy/pasted the label from above, went to the article to get the name with the correct punctuation, and never pasted it in . I knew it would be worth a proofread - always easier done by someone else. Cheers. Begoon ^talk 14:34, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All these maps are missing the border between Sudan and South Sudan, would someone please fix that.

Graphist opinion(s):

You don't need to bring maps that are already in commons:Category:Maps needing South Sudan political boundaries here, there are hundreds of maps that need South Sudan added, and if they are there then they've already been tagged for needing work. Kmusser (talk) 21:01, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request:

The text on this map is illegible, especially at small sizes, such as when viewed in the article (Ostrich). It should also be in SVG. -- sdream93 (talk) 08:46, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

 Done - New map created from "stock" blank svg map at Commons plus detail from the png. Type size increased and colours changed to make it legible in the infobox. I also updated the article Ostrich with the new map. Begoon ^talk 12:03, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

...and then I decided to remove the "key" and legends from the map completely, and put them in the file description page and article infobox caption instead, for better legibility and appearance. There's a separate version with a key, linked above, and the old versions of the map with gigantic legends are still in the history of File:Struthio camelus distribution.svg to use for other purposes if anyone wants them.

Would someone please create a new PNG map showing all 54 members of the Commonwealth coloured according to whether they are a Commonwealth realm, republic or have their own monarchy, based on the above maps. The 16 realms should be blue, the 33 republics pink and the 5 that have their own monarchy in green (Swaziland, Lesotho, Malaysia, Tonga and Brunei). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.134.89.17 (talk • contribs)

Request:

Please make a red dot map -- 24.209.192.18 (talk) 18:34, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Something like this should work, using this template: {{Location map}}. This is the code I added to this section to produce the map you see:

{{Location map
|USA Ohio
|width=230
|lat_deg=39.228
|lon_deg=-84.053
|label=<big>'''Edenton'''</big>
|background=#FEFEE9
|caption=[[Edenton, Ohio|'''Edenton''']], [[Ohio]]
}}

See the details at the linked template for details of how you can tweak it by supplying parameters etc.
(The background=#FEFEE9 parameter I used just gives the label the yellow map background colour, to "knock out" the county borders etc. for legibility.) Begoon ^talk 15:32, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• The template {{Infobox settlement}} also uses this locator map template, and I added a basic "starter" infobox with a map to the article for you, with this edit (link...). Begoon ^talk 13:42, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request:

Would it be possible to create a location map showing the site of discovery of Vulcanodon? Currently we are preparing this article for a GA nomination. The coordinates have been published (Raath, 1972): 16° 48' 30" S; 28° 16' 30" E. It is a small island in Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe. I've uploaded the location map from the publication (Cooper, 1984): [2]. I'm not sure which is better; an overview over entire Zimbabwe or only the lake. -- Jens Lallensack (talk) 07:45, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Because nobody has answered yet I decided to play with {{Location map}}, and a custom map overlay file using a NASA shot of the lake from Commons. Not sure if this will do, but the code for it is below - Begoon ^talk 12:09, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Begoon! Wow, thank you! The map looks great, I love it :) Thanks again, --Jens Lallensack (talk) 15:34, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I smiled, because the non-breaking space didn't show in the code box above (well, it showed as a space ), so you missed it in the copy paste you did to the article... I'll remember to use {{

nbsp}} for that in future, and I fixed the example now... Begoon ^talk 16:19, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply

The map is outdated. The map shows South Sudan as part of Sudan, however South Sudan broke away from Sudan in 2011.
