base map that could be used in making the requested map

Article(s): United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories#Completely autonomous dependencies

Request: (Concerns improvement of the 3rd map.) Many of the concerned territories consist only of some small islands. The information in this map is color-coded and the small area of the islands makes it hard to actually see, which territories are colored blue and which red (even in this view and when enlarging the view, I think the important information isn't visible very well). Could someone maybe surround the smaller islands with a lighter tone of the respective color, so that there will be larger, lightly colored areas? This could be done by highlighting the territorial waters or exclusive economic zones (see first and second image). -- Toshio Yamaguchi 14:35, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's up to date, but still less informative then most of the maps I have linked. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:26, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hal Jespersen has done a great job in creating battle maps of the American Civil War. But he has uploaded them in png-format. On his site ([7]) he offers the battle maps also in AI-format (Adobe Illustrator). These can be opened in Inkscape. So they can be converted to SVG. For those willing....

I don't understand what you are trying to do here. Yes, adding blank lines messes up the template, so don't do that. Kmusser (talk) 08:37, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1. Why should a blank line in source code change the output? No other language does that. 2. I can't think of a reason why anyone would want to push a map location south of its correct lat/long. Therefore its a bug, not a feature. 3. Anyone who adds a blank line must either trace the bug or produce an incorrect map. 4. Person who wrote the underlying code should be informed so he can see what the problem is. A visible bug sometimes implies invisible bugs. Benjamin Trovato (talk) 22:15, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, this is a forum for fixing maps, not debugging templates, you want Template_talk:Location_map. Kmusser (talk) 19:53, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

MOSCOW

dummy

class=notpageimage|

Errors: A. Moscow should be north in the circular Moscow Oblast; B. Blank at bottom of map. Clues: 1. Removing line=dummy solves the problem. 2. Removing blank lines 2,4 or 6 raises, removing all 3 fixes. 3. Duplicating the 7 blank lines pushes down. 4. Adding blank lines with the enter key pushes down, so its the line-feed character, not an embedded hidden character, but 5. Adding blank lines below 'dummy' has no effect unless a second 'dummy' line is added below them. 6. Ukraine location map~ has the same problem, so it is probably the code for all loc maps.

Anglican Communion map

Resolved

Got alot of issues with this map that I have been trying to draw attention to.

1. Some areas are gray, when they should be blue because they are served by the Episcopal Church (United States).

- a. Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico are part of Province 9 of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America

- b.Haiti, the US Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands are part of Province 2 of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America

- c. Guam and the Northern Marianas are part of Province 8 of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, like Taiwan, which is blue.

2. Nepal and the Central African Republic are blue, but I cannot find a RS saying that they are served by an AC member. The most logical AC affiliates, the Church of North India and the Anglican Church of the Congo do not have responsibility for the CAR, that I can find.

3. Rwanda, which does have an AC affiliate, the Anglican Church of Rwanda appears to be grey on the map.

4.

- a.It shows Iraq, and Yemen as grey, though the map for the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East clearly shows Iraq and Yemen as part of the Anglican Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf.

Their own website clearly shows a presence in both countries.

http://cypgulf.org/diocese-directory/map-of-the-diocese/

- b.The Palestinian territories, apparently represented with a grey dot in the Anglican Communion map, are colored light blue in the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East map, indicating that they are served by the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem. And by all accounts, that diocese is supposed to cover the Palestinian territories.

5. And there is Europe. There are a number of issues here, mostly due to the overlapping jurisdictions of the Church of England affiliated Diocese of Gibraltar in Europe and the ECUSA affiliated Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe as well as the presence of the Porvoo Communion and Union of Utrecht (Old Catholic) churches.

- a.The Diocese of Gibraltar map, the Anglican Communion map and the Diocese of Gibralter website each seem to be saying different things.

http://europe.anglican.org/who-we-are/archdeacons

I'll go with the diocesan website as the accurate one. Now according to this site the Archdeaconry of of France serves both France and Monaco. The archdeacon of Gibraltar serves Gibralter, Andorra, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Madeira and the Canary Islands. The archdeacon of Italy and Malta serves those countries and the Archdeaconry of Northwest Europe includes the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. Putting aside, for a moment, the Western European countries that have Old Catholic affiliates, Monaco, Malta, Andorra, Belgium, Luxembourg, Madeira and even Gibraltar itself are grey.

- b. The eastern archdeaconry includes a broad area, most of which is grey in the map. The archdeacon himself has special responsibility for Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Another area dean has responsibility for Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia. And finally another dean is assigned "Chaplaincies in the former Soviet Union (excepting the Baltic States), Poland and Mongolia" (despite our map for the Diocese of Gibraltar and Europe showing Kazachstan as white)

- c. The Northern archdeaconry includes Germany and "Nordic and Baltic States: includes Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Estonia and Latvia" (despite what it shows on our map for the Diocese of Gibraltar and Europe, there is no specific mention of Iceland, the Faeroe Islands or Lithuania.)

- d. The US affiliated Convocation has a different structure listed here

http://www.tec-europe.org/parishes/index.html

They have a presence in France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and even Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Now we could handle this a couple of ways. We could stripe the areas with a Porvoo/Utrecht affiliate blue/ green and blue/red to show that there is an Anglican proper presence in the country. We could also use insets for Europe, showing the overlapping jurisdictions of the Diocese of Gibralter and the Convocation of Euorpean churches. But in any case, Gibraltar, Belgium, Austria and Malta need to be blue as the Anglican affiliates certainly have a physical presence there

I'm sorry if I'm over thinking this, its just been bugging the hell out of me for awhile.--Bellerophon5685 (talk) 18:00, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
