Thanks again, Goran Abo Yemen✉ 15:02, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen
  • I understand that the areas didn't have sharp edges like this, so if you want I can make the areas fuzzier.
  • We have some maps regarding Hadhramawt, Hadramaut and they all show different sizes of their area within the southern Arabian Peninsula so I have put out some in between.
  • I have separated between their origin and the migrations.
Feed back thanks, anything goes, Draft Hadhrami-1. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:22, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en
I like how the current emigration borders look though it would be nice to have a variant of the map with the names of cities in the green areas. As for Hadhramaut, we have a somewhat known description of the region: It spans from w:Mirbat in the east till the w:Shabwah Governorate to the west, and from the southern coast till w:Sharurah to the north. It would be nice to have a map of the Hadhramaut region for the w:Hadhramaut article. Thanks, Abo Yemen✉ 13:30, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen
We can do variations but let's do one at the time, Draft Hadrami-2. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:36, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en Yes, this version looks better tho I think you went with the entirety of Najran which is not a part of hadhramaut. Better to use File:Najran Region - Sharurah.svg instead Abo Yemen✉ 11:43, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen Sorry, I have no knowledge of this and Najran is a city what I can see.
I checked your nort-south link and came up with this Draft Hadrami-3. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:16, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en Is it me or did you miss sharurah entirely? The awkward corn-shaped border on the top left should be removed as it includes areas like western Jawf and Marib and the green shaded area on File:Najran Region - Sharurah.svg should be included Abo Yemen✉ 12:23, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo YemenRemember this is your topic, you have the knowledge, I have zero.
The green in File:Najran Region - Sharurah.svg is not the same as this for Najran so it's hard for me to know what you mean.
In Draft Hadrami-4 there is a red line, is that what you want me to add (but I had that before). Can you give me a link on OSM or google for which area because File:Najran Region - Sharurah.svg is like taken out of context for me with no local knowledge. Hope you understand. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:36, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Remember this is your topic, you have the knowledge, I have zero.
my bad my bad.
So basically Sharurah (green map) is a sub division of Najran (red map/red line in the new map). Sharurah in OSM @Goran tek-en Abo Yemen✉ 13:53, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, can you use the borders of w:Telangana for Hyderabad as it is the closest to the borders of the former Hyderabad state? Also please add w:Arakan as the Hadharem have emigrated there too Abo Yemen✉ 14:04, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen Draft Hadrami-5. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:33, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Abo Yemen Explain more. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:39, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en: So basically the pink/purple region in the same region as this one that you've made before (File:Map of the states of the Arabian Peninsula (1905-1923).svg). Abo Yemen✉ 13:59, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen Draft peninsula-1. Feed back, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:58, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en The frame is perfect. What I want from this is to make a map of the geographic regions of the Arabian Peninsula. Would remove the green stuff and add dashed lines to mark the borders of the regions of Arabia, which are: Hijaz (Mecca, Medina and the Tabuk w:Provinces of Saudi Arabia), Yemen (Everything between Hijaz and Hadhramaut), Hadhramaut (already done with), Oman (UAE and Oman except for the Al Wusta and Dhofar), Marha (everything between Hadhramaut and Oman), bahrain, Yamama, Nejd and Tihama (all of which are defined in this image [1]). Tihama is two different regions: Tihama of Yemen and Tihama of Hijaz (Coastal strip of both regions) Abo Yemen✉ 12:18, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen Is that the borders of today you want? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:40, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en yes just make them vague in sandy areas Abo Yemen✉ 17:50, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen Remember I have no knowledge of those regions.
  • Hijaz, I can't find a specific area called this, so I don't understand which area.
--please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:58, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Its the Tabuk, Medina, Mecca, and Bahah provinces of Saudi Arabia. You can use the maps provided in the wikipedia articles as a reference 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 12:19, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Abo Yemen Please do like this or links to OSM for the rest also, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:36, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en I will 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 12:51, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen This Draft peninsula-2 is how far I got right now. You say I should add the "countries" from that Reddit link. I can only use it at information, not copy it. The borders there interfere with the borders I already have so I don't really understand what you want me to do. You have to be specific on what to change, add etc. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:38, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Can anyone create a version of this map? Taken from this article. Ideally, we would have an English, Arabic and Kurdish version also. --الدبوني (talk) 07:17, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
الدبوني: We have File:Kurdistan governorates 2015.png/File:Kurdistan governorates 2015-ar.png. Those will probably work well with appropriate captions. (The border of the east two governates is different but that doesn't affect the use at hand.) CMD (talk) 09:36, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@الدبوني and Chipmunkdavis: Hi,
Displaying the map, if you click on Datawrapper under the map, you get a new display. Then this new map is composed thanks to an embedded svg. Copying/pasting this code will directly give a svg file (with probably some workaround).

Correct Green Valley, IL map to put circular emphasis on right municipality

    Highlighting is on wrong village

Article(s): en:Green Valley, Illinois

Request
The red circle is on the wrong village. It needs to be moved over to where Green Valley actually is (towards the bottom left). Thanks! --WhisperToMe (talk) 18:55, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
WhisperToMe The 02:49, 28 October 2017 version seems to have the circle in the right place, but there is a square that changes color. Which square color is correct? CMD (talk) 00:24, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chipmunkdavis: The red settlement (the others are gray) is the correct location. The map is supposed to depict Green Valley, seen here. Compare with Tazewell County here. The circle is instead over Armington (which is depicted here: File:Tazewell_County_Illinois_Incorporated_and_Unincorporated_areas_Armington_Highlighted.svg). The circle is supposed to emphasize Green Valley. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:05, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That does seem to suggest the 02:49, 28 October 2017 has the correct circle, but do you know what to do with the square? ie. can this be reverted, or does a new version have to combine the old circle and new square? CMD (talk) 01:08, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chipmunkdavis: I see. The square should be en:Heritage Lake, Illinois (a census-designated place) based on the placement. I'm not really sure why it is not filled in with gray. I checked File:Harris County Texas incorporated and unincorporated areas Cloverleaf highlighted.svg and I notice some census-designated places are filled in with grey but some are not. Maybe I should ping the uploader and ask them if CDPs are supposed to be gray or white. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:59, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If it is, just revert to 02:49, 28 October 2017. If not, should be easy enough to combine the two.

French Indochina administrative divisions in 1937

[edit]
  • English version
    English version
  • French version
    French version

Article(s): [[]]

Request
I would like to have some changes on the máp:

- Some provinces seem to be missing from the map, such as Hà Nam province (shows as part of Nam Định province) and Phúc Yên province (shows as part of Vĩnh Yên province)

- I think that military teritories are also provinces, so they can named with their own names rather than just numbered territories (display within each other or just one type, 1e = Hải Ninh, 2e = Cao Bằng, 3e = Hà Giang, 4e = Lai Châu, 5e = Phongsaly)

- For English version, I think some provinces in Annam, Laos, a province in Tonkin (Pho Tuo = Phú Thọ), a province in Cambodia (typo I think: Svai Rieng = Svay Rieng) should be called with Vietnamese/Lao names rather than how the French at that time call it (Vinh = Nghệ An, Đồng Hới = Quảng Bình, Huế = Thừa Thiên, Tourane = Quảng Nam, Qui Nhơn = Bình Định, Sông Cầu = Phú Yên, Nha Trang = Khánh Hòa, Phan Rang = Ninh Thuận, Phan Thiết = Bình Thuận, Buôn Ma Thuột = Đắk Lắk, Đà Lạt = Đồng Nai Thượng (Đà Lạt has its own province-level special administrative region which can be shown in this map) and some provinces of Laos: Haut-Mekong = Houa Khong, Trấn Ninh = Houaphanh, Cammon = Khammuane, Bassac = Champasack/Champasak). It's optional in French version due to differences between how the French governors named it back then and how the French speaker call it now (if the French version is also need to change, Đồng Nai Thượng = Haut-Đồng Nai)

- Border between Thanh Hóa province and Nghệ An province (shows as Vinh) with Laos seems not right due to that border kept until now but looks different from the current one, so I need Thanh Hóa to have a small land point into Laos and west Nghệ An looks sharper, thanks! --Khanh ( talk | contribs | CA | vi ) 13:19, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
