Request: Can somebody do this map for Valenzuela City, Philippines? Source image I have a hard time doing it, especially I can only manipulate pictures using MS Paint (and it's difficult to build a map there :) ) Anyway, don't bother with the name, if possible, it should be a blank map in PNG format. The colors in the source image indicates the local government division, please include such borders in the map. Thanks.— JL 09 talk (site)contribs 07:59, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

requesting world map
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/ba/Red_x.svg/20px-Red_x.svg.png)
Sorry, I have no idea how to parse my data into wiki's format, but what I'm asking for is this:
A blank world political map in equirectangular projection, showing current widely recognized sovereign nations. It should also show the whole world, including antarctica. I'd like PNG format, so that the map only has 2 or 3 colors in it, making it easy to use color fill. And I'd like it to be big, at least 2400 x 1200.
The closest I've seen to this is Roke's Pacific Centered map, but the projection has errors, as I explain on his talk page here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Roke#map_error_in_your_pacific-centered_map
Alternatively, if anyone knows how I can do this myself, please advise. I have little experience with raw map making, but can use a computer well.

- Nothing for you in commons:Category:Blank SVG maps of the world? Or commons:Category:Blank maps of the world? Uwe Dedering (talk) 18:48, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
- Nope. I browsed through all that for a long time. There are many maps there that are close, but not what I need. Can't use SVG (nor the PNG derivatives) because the borders aren't clean---they use many shades of white and gray. Most of those are Robinson and not Equirectangular to begin with. DrZygote214 (talk) 07:27, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- Why Equirectangular? A world map with that projection looks really bad... I also don't understand the border thing. Not clean? You will have to tell us more about your plans... Uwe Dedering (talk) 16:00, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- Dude, there are many map projections. Which one "looks good" is all opinion and we shouldn't argue about it. As for the clean borders, here is an explanatory screen shot http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/6127/mapss.png On the left is a svg, zoomed in. As you can see, the borders are all smudgy, but the png is clean. The png uses only 2 colors. So I want PNG for a clean map, and I want equirectangular because that's just the one I like most. DrZygote214 (talk) 18:05, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- You realize that the point of .svg is you can zoom in infinitely and the borders stay clean? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bitmap_VS_SVG.svg for an example of what I mean. Ks0stm (T•C•G) 05:10, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
- The only map with equirectangular projection i find is [1], center such map on pacific is not a great problem because it's a SVG, (trust the opinion of graphics!), nore eliminating the orange indicatrix; editing all the countryies boundaries will take a lot of time, so it's better if you explain what is your goal. Alternatively, try to make your request to the cartographer who made this map (using cartographical programs like GRASS i.e.) at french graphic lab: they are really kind and probably would help you.Ciaurlec (talk) 15:05, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
- This map seems to be an equirectangular projection, based on the description ("all lines of latitude and longitude are all evenly spaced and parallel"). Would it meet your needs? It's svg (not png), but as described above, svg is better for scaling, clean borders, and editing the colors of different countries. Calliopejen1 (talk) 16:31, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

DrZygote214 (talk) 18:05, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- If you want clean borders, a PNG file isn't appropriate, because every decent map uses antialiasing to make the lines look better. Please consider using SVG (Inkscape is a very capable SVG image editor). The SVG format also has the benefit that country boundaries can be grouped (and styled per-group), so it's much easier to alter colours of particular countries that are composed of multiple islands. This is a low-resolution (i.e. small file size) SVG map of the world, with political boundaries for countries as their own group (inside a sovereign group, if it is separate). If you really want no antialiasing, save as a fairly large PNG image, load up in GIMP, and use a posterize tool to flatten the colours. gringer (talk) 00:36, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
- FWIW, I just did that using the SVG image I linked to here (took me about 2 minutes), so I guess this is a link to the type of map you wanted. A bit smaller than requested, though (I just used the 2000px image link on the wikipedia page). gringer (talk) 00:46, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Netherlands Antilles map; basis for both requests
-
information to see which islands are actually Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba
-
map for the orientation of the islands (west to east): Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire
Article(s):
request 1: Caribbean Netherlands (and several others, like Netherlands)
request 2: diocese of Willemstad, Netherlands Antilles and several others)
Request 1: Caribbean Netherlands: After the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles, three islands Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba are now collectively called the Caribbean Netherlands, yet there is no map clustering them together. Could the Netherlands Antilles map be changed to include only those islands in the green area? Better even, could the image be cropped to have as little ocean as possible to the east? Then the "worldmap+focusarea" can be placed in the upper-left corner. Maybe (who knows) the islands become a bit more visible; I am afraid for this action a better resolution image is required however...
Request 2: Netherlands Antilles 1954-1986:Quite some things are arranged within the full territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Caribbean. That would be Aruba + the former Netherlands Antilles. Could the green area in the (original) map from above be changed to also include Aruba?
For the location of the islands, see the map to the right , Aruba is the island to the west of Curacao (see also ABC islands). L.tak (talk) 19:42, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Article(s): box turtle
Request: I am looking for a map on the distribution of the for species of American box turtle (Terrapene). They are confined to North America and have quite separate (but sometimes overlapping) ranges. Only T. ornata overlaps with all other 3, while these three do not overlap individually. A figure thus would need
3 basiscolours (for T. carolina, T. ornata and T. nelsoni)
2 regions with mixed colours between those basis colours (T.carolina+T.ornata, T.ornata+T.nelsoni)
1 region (spot only, it is a single city/municipality) which is an overlap between T ornata and T.coahuila (but there is no region where T coahuila is the only species)
Based on this ref I have already made the selection:
- T. carolina:
- US: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma,Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia)
- Mexico: Campeche, Quintana Roo, San Luis Potosi, Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Yucatán.
- T. ornata
- US (south-central and South Western: (Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Wisconsin, Wyoming)
- Mexico: Chihuahua, Coahuila, Sonora
- T. nelsoni
- Mexico North-Western (Nayarit, Sinaloa, Sonora)
- T. Coahuila
- Mexico:Coahuila (exclusively in Cuatro Ciénegas Basin)
overlaps:
- T. carolina and T. ornata
- T. nelsoni and T. ornata
- T. coahuila and T. ornata

- Thanks a lot! It looks good! ... also the Quatro Cienegas, wouldn't do anything there... I will use this one tonight on box turtle. I was just thinking, while you're on it, could you also make a version without the english in the legend box (without "distribution of box turtle"), so it can also be used on other language versions? Cheers! L.tak (talk) 07:36, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Done The word "and" is still there, though. I will change that if you let me know what to. Is "&" good? Or maybe just a comma between the species? Makeemlighter (talk) 17:29, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

- I forgot to add the finished one to the gallery. Oops! It's there now. I changed "and" to "&", and I also changed the font. "&" looks much better in Sans than it does in DejaVu Sans. If there's anything else that needs changed, let me know. Best, Makeemlighter (talk) 21:47, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

- An English version already exists. I was 50% done before I realized this. Oh well. Makeemlighter (talk) 10:27, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm terribly sorry about that. I found the Russian map in the article and simply assumed there was no English version. I should of course have searched better. Lesson learned. Thanks for the help anyway. P. S. Burton (talk) 22:19, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
