Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.
I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!
Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page . Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 ( talk) 00:42, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Scatter Creek Unit, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Camas. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Adam - The image you created for the Koppen Classification for Ireland, only covers the Republic of Ireland, whereas the article covers the entire island of Ireland. If you have the data (which I think you have) could you redo the map to cover the entire island? Ta CalzGuy ( talk) 12:58, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for the wonderful climate maps. I was always dissatisfied with the previous maps, because I knew they were too coarse to be accurate, but I don't have the expertise to create better maps myself. Could you create maps for the Upper Midwest and the Midwestern United States? Other articles in Category:Census regions of the United States should probably have climate maps too.
I'm curious, would you be able to make fine-grained maps of average July and January temperatures, and annual or half-annual precipitation? As I recall from reading through World Book encyclopedias when I was younger, they typically had maps of summer and winter temperatures and precipitation. That would significantly add to articles by showing finer-grained variations of climate than are shown in the Koeppen maps. (Especially useful in states like Maine that basically just have one climate type!) BONAP has maps like this, but not very fine-grained, and there are no maps of individual states, so it's hard to see microclimates like those near coastal California. — Eru· tuon 18:22, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
User:Erutuon Thanks so much! I'm going to school for GIS this autumn and so making these maps has been my practicing ahead of time for class. I'd be happy to make some more regional maps - so far I've got the NW US and New England. I'd be happy to do the Upper Midwest and Midwestern US. Do you have any recommendations for the states I should include in the Upper Midwest? The current article seems to point to North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
I could definitely make the same maps for July or January, or annual or half-annual precipitation. In fact, I already have calculated those layers for all these maps, while doing the calculations for Koeppen climate types, so it'd be extremely easy for me to format a map. Let me know if you have any specific requests for regions and climate parameters. I could just as easily do regions as individual states. Or I could even trim individual counties or sub-state/province regions, as I have for a few Koeppen maps:
I was actually already planning on doing a map showing the ratio of summer precipitation to annual precipitation for the West Coast - it'd be really fun to visualize the strength of summer dryness along the West Coast, since it does extend so far north. Redtitan ( talk) 18:46, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
And here's an Upper Midwest koppen map:
Dear Adam Peterson/Redtitan, I don’t know how active you are currently on Wikipedia, but I was wondering if you could render other Köppen climate maps for other Carribean island nations. I see you already have rendered maps for Hispaniola (both Dominican Republic and Haiti) and Puerto Rico. I was hoping you could do maps for Cuba, Jamaica, and The Bahamas. If it would not take too long, maybe you could also render maps for the Turks and Caicos Islands and for the Lesser antilles. I’m not sure how long it would take to render. You have said it took a whole day to render a map for Australia. I don’t know if the ocean area would interfer with the rendering. Rigognos Molinarios ( talk) 06:01, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
@ Rigognos Molinarios: My goal is to get through the whole world in the next few months. Stay tuned - I'll have new maps uploading in the near future. Redtitan 06:49, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi I have reverted your climatic map of Spain (which is good and better than what was before) for a number of reasons. Firstly, the Canary Islands are missing which are a significant part of the country population-wise. Secondly, I feel you slightly overestimated the size of the Oceanic areas in interior Spain (see Cuenca for example) and you definitely made a mistake with coastal Galicia, all of which should be categorized as Oceanic (see Santiago de Compostela, Vigo and La Coruña). Spain also has a small section of Hot desert climate in coastal Almeria which you have missed (rainfall around 160 mm annual). Hot semi-desert should also extend further south along the south east coast along Almeria almost into the Granada coast. Some of the semi-desert areas seem to be slightly out of place in the centre of the country but Im not 100%. Best. Asilah1981 ( talk) 15:51, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
Galicia is right on the borderline between Csb and Cfb. You mentioned La Coruña as definitely oceanic. According to the climate data on its wiki page, it actually qualifies as Csb (the driest summer month is <40 mm, and that month is less than 1/3 the precipitation of wettest winter month). It's inaccurately listed on its wiki page as Cfb. Vigo and Cuenca almost qualify as Csb (their driest summer months are 43 and 44 mm, respectively). The WorldClim dataset is from 1960-1990, so it might be that the 30 year average of rainfall patterns have shifted a few mm, potentially explaining why Galicia is shown fairly dominantly as Csb in the map (there are scattered pixels of Cfb in Galicia - hard to see them without zooming in the SVG version).
I looked into the hot desert area around Almeria. The raster dataset I'm working with doesn't show any rainfall around 160 mm. I thought that was wrong, but then I tried to find any climate data source backing up the presence of BWh around Almeria, and I can't find any. (In fact, I can't find any city/town/village wiki page in any part of continental Spain with climate data qualifying as BWh). I did some googling, and nothing turned up either. Do you know of any sources to back that up? The current claim of Almeria containing BWh is unsourced on the Almeria wiki page.
Cuenca lies almost entirely within Csa or Csb on the map actually (I overlaid the climate map with a city map for Spain). A few small sections of the city lie under pixels for Cfb, but those pixels (each representing 1 sq. km) also mostly contain area in the surrounding mountains, which are >700 ft. higher than the city's terrain and so would be expected to have higher rainfall.
Let me know if you have any particular concerns about the semi-arid areas and their relative placement - I'd be happy to look up any particular towns and match the map up with current data sources. Redtitan ( talk) 20:42, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
Thats good I see you are extremely thorough. But there may still be some small tweaking to do. I'm particularly concerned with Almeria area which does not seem quite right. Have a look at this map for isotherms. You should have no BSk anywhere within 30 km inland of coastal Almeria. Annual temperatures will be 18 or above. https://www.google.es/search?q=mapa+espa%C3%B1a+temperatura+media+anual&biw=1012&bih=528&tbm=isch&imgil=1_QX9y-KcjqcsM%253A%253Bg2SptPEA7Ec2lM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.02.ign.es%25252Fespmap%25252Fmapas_clima_bach%25252FMapa_clima_09.htm&source=iu&pf=m&fir=1_QX9y-KcjqcsM%253A%252Cg2SptPEA7Ec2lM%252C_&usg=__tqdeVjntsPdicbu4-L5N5ZZbC-A%3D&ved=0ahUKEwik5fa4lZ_PAhUBbhQKHQkHDJsQyjcIJQ&ei=ac_hV-SMJ4HcUYmOsNgJ#imgrc=gMsWmFEh4TQnRM%3A

I am not an expert on this topic but I travel in Spain quite extensively. The semi-desert map in the middle of the country (centre south) just doesn't make sense to me. It seems slightly off - too far to the west. By my experience driving around, the driest/most arid places around Madrid are down immediately south (around the Tajo valley) and to the East. Certainly not to the South West of Madrid as this map shows (Its hot there but not all that much drier than Madrid) Look at this map of rainfall and you will see what I mean. https://www.google.es/search?q=mapa+pluviometrico+espa%C3%B1a&biw=1012&bih=528&tbm=isch&imgil=TsgHwoe8A7XMAM%253A%253BqetQoT8waPCviM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Furbanity.cc%25252Fforum%25252Fespa%25252525C3%25252525B1a%25252Fcom%25252525C3%25252525BAn_interregional%25252Fturismo-y-naturaleza%25252F946-el-hilo-de-la-informaci%25252525C3%25252525B3n-clim%25252525C3%25252525A1tica-espa%25252525C3%25252525B1ola-e-ib%25252525C3%25252525A9rica&source=iu&pf=m&fir=TsgHwoe8A7XMAM%253A%252CqetQoT8waPCviM%252C_&usg=__f7cEhqpCyMmPyvQ90BTvsMvEKEc%3D&ved=0ahUKEwjum5OJnJ_PAhUEPxoKHWklCP4QyjcIJQ&ei=XNbhV-79HYT-aOnKoPAP#imgrc=TsgHwoe8A7XMAM%3A

Hello.
Great work on your detailed country climate maps, including Turkey.
However, correction of the File:Turkey koppen.svg map in the northwest of the country concerning Istanbul and Izmit (also known as Kocaeli) and the Çatalca Peninsula (European side) and the Kocaeli Peninsula (Asian side) on which they lie are necessary.
Overall, In the Köppen–Geiger classification system, Istanbul has a borderline Mediterranean climate (Csa), humid subtropical climate (Cfa) and oceanic climate (Cfb), due to its location in a transitional climatic zone. Since precipitation in summer months, ranges from 20 to 65 mm (1 to 3 in), depending on location, the city cannot be classified as solely Mediterranean or humid subtropical.Kottek, Markus; Grieser, Jürgen; Beck, Christoph; Rudolf, Bruno; Rube, Franz (June 2006).

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi, you uploaded this presumably newer Koppen map, including individual state uploads. What year is this data up to? Is it newer than 2012? Such as the new plant hardiness zone map of 2012 that showed widespread changes of half a step. I ask because this also shows a larger area of warmer climates, such as the New York upload on climate of New York. Thanks. B137 ( talk) 09:29, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, Adam. I thank you very much for the map of Brazil. We need a map in Portuguese to be able to put it on PT Wikipedia. I did the translation of the United States map ( File:Tipos climáticos dos Estados Unidos (Köppen).svg), this can help you in translating the map of Brazil. You can also access this page to see more translations ( PT translations). Take care! − Allice Hunter (Inbox) 05:05, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
As far as I know, I cannot easily find accurate high resolution hardiness zone maps (Average annual minimum temperature) for areas outside the United States and North America. The only maps I find have low resolution. How long would it take to render maps that show the average minimum temperature of a given area the size of Australia? I'm assuming if that would be possible, the first priority would be for higher population countries. Another issue would be metric/imperial conversions. Does this sound like something you could do? Rigognos Molinarios ( talk) 03:03, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
User:Rigognos Molinarios I wish I had access to hardiness zone data like that, but I'm afraid I don't. The average coldest temperature of a year is different data than just the average monthly temperatures, and can't be derived from it. So far, the only place I've found such data is in raster form is through OSU, which makes the data that is used for the USDA frost hardiness zone maps. I believe similar data is also available through ClimateWNA, but they use a slightly modified metric that's considered over 30 years. I'm keeping my eyes out for data like this to become available. If it does, I'd be really interested in making hardiness zone maps as I have time. Redtitan 09:16, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

Adam - The image you created for the Koppen Classification for Ireland, only covers the Republic of Ireland, whereas the article covers the entire island of Ireland.

Hi! Thanks for the wonderful climate maps. I was always dissatisfied with the previous maps, because I knew they were too coarse to be accurate, but I don't have the expertise to create better maps myself. Could you create maps for the Upper Midwest and the Midwestern United States? Other articles in Category:Census regions of the United States should probably have climate maps too.
I'm curious, would you be able to make fine-grained maps of average July and January temperatures, and annual or half-annual precipitation? As I recall from reading through World Book encyclopedias when I was younger, they typically had maps of summer and winter temperatures and precipitation. That would significantly add to articles by showing finer-grained variations of climate than are shown in the Koeppen maps. (Especially useful in states like Maine that basically just have one climate type!) BONAP has maps like this, but not very fine-grained, and there are no maps of individual states, so it's hard to see microclimates like those near coastal California. — Eru· tuon 18:22, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
User:Erutuon Thanks so much! I'm going to school for GIS this autumn and so making these maps has been my practicing ahead of time for class. I'd be happy to make some more regional maps - so far I've got the NW US and New England. I'd be happy to do the Upper Midwest and Midwestern US. Do you have any recommendations for the states I should include in the Upper Midwest? The current article seems to point to North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
I could definitely make the same maps for July or January, or annual or half-annual precipitation. In fact, I already have calculated those layers for all these maps, while doing the calculations for Koeppen climate types, so it'd be extremely easy for me to format a map. Let me know if you have any specific requests for regions and climate parameters. I could just as easily do regions as individual states. Or I could even trim individual counties or sub-state/province regions, as I have for a few Koeppen maps:
I was actually already planning on doing a map showing the ratio of summer precipitation to annual precipitation for the West Coast - it'd be really fun to visualize the strength of summer dryness along the West Coast, since it does extend so far north. Redtitan ( talk) 18:46, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
And here's an Upper Midwest koppen map:
Dear Adam Peterson/Redtitan, I don’t know how active you are currently on Wikipedia, but I was wondering if you could render other Köppen climate maps for other Carribean island nations. I see you already have rendered maps for Hispaniola (both Dominican Republic and Haiti) and Puerto Rico. I was hoping you could do maps for Cuba, Jamaica, and The Bahamas. If it would not take too long, maybe you could also render maps for the Turks and Caicos Islands and for the Lesser antilles. I’m not sure how long it would take to render. You have said it took a whole day to render a map for Australia. I don’t know if the ocean area would interfer with the rendering. Rigognos Molinarios ( talk) 06:01, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
@ Rigognos Molinarios: My goal is to get through the whole world in the next few months. Stay tuned - I'll have new maps uploading in the near future. Redtitan 06:49, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi I have reverted your climatic map of Spain (which is good and better than what was before) for a number of reasons. Firstly, the Canary Islands are missing which are a significant part of the country population-wise. Secondly, I feel you slightly overestimated the size of the Oceanic areas in interior Spain (see Cuenca for example) and you definitely made a mistake with coastal Galicia, all of which should be categorized as Oceanic (see Santiago de Compostela, Vigo and La Coruña). Spain also has a small section of Hot desert climate in coastal Almeria which you have missed (rainfall around 160 mm annual). Hot semi-desert should also extend further south along the south east coast along Almeria almost into the Granada coast. Some of the semi-desert areas seem to be slightly out of place in the centre of the country but Im not 100%. Best. Asilah1981 ( talk) 15:51, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
Galicia is right on the borderline between Csb and Cfb. You mentioned La Coruña as definitely oceanic. According to the climate data on its wiki page, it actually qualifies as Csb (the driest summer month is <40 mm, and that month is less than 1/3 the precipitation of wettest winter month). It's inaccurately listed on its wiki page as Cfb. Vigo and Cuenca almost qualify as Csb (their driest summer months are 43 and 44 mm, respectively). The WorldClim dataset is from 1960-1990, so it might be that the 30 year average of rainfall patterns have shifted a few mm, potentially explaining why Galicia is shown fairly dominantly as Csb in the map (there are scattered pixels of Cfb in Galicia - hard to see them without zooming in the SVG version).
I looked into the hot desert area around Almeria. The raster dataset I'm working with doesn't show any rainfall around 160 mm. I thought that was wrong, but then I tried to find any climate data source backing up the presence of BWh around Almeria, and I can't find any. (In fact, I can't find any city/town/village wiki page in any part of continental Spain with climate data qualifying as BWh). I did some googling, and nothing turned up either. Do you know of any sources to back that up? The current claim of Almeria containing BWh is unsourced on the Almeria wiki page.
Cuenca lies almost entirely within Csa or Csb on the map actually (I overlaid the climate map with a city map for Spain). A few small sections of the city lie under pixels for Cfb, but those pixels (each representing 1 sq. km) also mostly contain area in the surrounding mountains, which are >700 ft. higher than the city's terrain and so would be expected to have higher rainfall.
Let me know if you have any particular concerns about the semi-arid areas and their relative placement - I'd be happy to look up any particular towns and match the map up with current data sources. Redtitan ( talk) 20:42, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
Thats good I see you are extremely thorough. But there may still be some small tweaking to do. I'm particularly concerned with Almeria area which does not seem quite right. Have a look at this map for isotherms. You should have no BSk anywhere within 30 km inland of coastal Almeria. Annual temperatures will be 18 or above. https://www.google.es/search?q=mapa+espa%C3%B1a+temperatura+media+anual&biw=1012&bih=528&tbm=isch&imgil=1_QX9y-KcjqcsM%253A%253Bg2SptPEA7Ec2lM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.02.ign.es%25252Fespmap%25252Fmapas_clima_bach%25252FMapa_clima_09.htm&source=iu&pf=m&fir=1_QX9y-KcjqcsM%253A%252Cg2SptPEA7Ec2lM%252C_&usg=__tqdeVjntsPdicbu4-L5N5ZZbC-A%3D&ved=0ahUKEwik5fa4lZ_PAhUBbhQKHQkHDJsQyjcIJQ&ei=ac_hV-SMJ4HcUYmOsNgJ#imgrc=gMsWmFEh4TQnRM%3A

I am not an expert on this topic but I travel in Spain quite extensively. The semi-desert map in the middle of the country (centre south) just doesn't make sense to me. It seems slightly off - too far to the west. By my experience driving around, the driest/most arid places around Madrid are down immediately south (around the Tajo valley) and to the East. Certainly not to the South West of Madrid as this map shows (Its hot there but not all that much drier than Madrid) Look at this map of rainfall and you will see what I mean. https://www.google.es/search?q=mapa+pluviometrico+espa%C3%B1a&biw=1012&bih=528&tbm=isch&imgil=TsgHwoe8A7XMAM%253A%253BqetQoT8waPCviM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Furbanity.cc%25252Fforum%25252Fespa%25252525C3%25252525B1a%25252Fcom%25252525C3%25252525BAn_interregional%25252Fturismo-y-naturaleza%25252F946-el-hilo-de-la-informaci%25252525C3%25252525B3n-clim%25252525C3%25252525A1tica-espa%25252525C3%25252525B1ola-e-ib%25252525C3%25252525A9rica&source=iu&pf=m&fir=TsgHwoe8A7XMAM%253A%252CqetQoT8waPCviM%252C_&usg=__f7cEhqpCyMmPyvQ90BTvsMvEKEc%3D&ved=0ahUKEwjum5OJnJ_PAhUEPxoKHWklCP4QyjcIJQ&ei=XNbhV-79HYT-aOnKoPAP#imgrc=TsgHwoe8A7XMAM%3A

Hello.
Great work on your detailed country climate maps, including Turkey.
However, correction of the File:Turkey koppen.svg map in the northwest of the country concerning Istanbul and Izmit (also known as Kocaeli) and the Çatalca Peninsula (European side) and the Kocaeli Peninsula (Asian side) on which they lie are necessary.
Overall, In the Köppen–Geiger classification system, Istanbul has a borderline Mediterranean climate (Csa), humid subtropical climate (Cfa) and oceanic climate (Cfb), due to its location in a transitional climatic zone. Since precipitation in summer months, ranges from 20 to 65 mm (1 to 3 in), depending on location, the city cannot be classified as solely Mediterranean or humid subtropical.Kottek, Markus; Grieser, Jürgen; Beck, Christoph; Rudolf, Bruno; Rube, Franz (June 2006).

You are invited to participate in the 50,000 Challenge, aiming for 50,000 article improvements and creations for articles relating to the United States. This effort began on November 1, 2016 and to reach our goal, we will need editors like you to participate, expand, and create. See more here! |

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi, you uploaded this presumably newer Koppen map, including individual state uploads. What year is this data up to? Is it newer than 2012? Such as the new plant hardiness zone map of 2012 that showed widespread changes of half a step. I ask because this also shows a larger area of warmer climates, such as the New York upload on climate of New York. Thanks. B137 ( talk) 09:29, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi Adam. Would you be able to make an alternative set of Köppen climate maps (at least for the United States) using the 0° isotherm and convert them to a .kml file? Thanks, Peter. Go Cougars! JediScougale ( talk) 10:15, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi there Adam. I just wanted to let you know here was well that I sent you an email from the tools bar on the side of your page about a climate worldbuilding project that you might be interested in/be able to help me with. I'm not sure how often you check your email or your Wiki page, so I figured one of these posts would catch your attention. VT45 —Preceding undated comment added 14:40, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
You are invited to the upcoming Asian Pacific American Heritage month edit-athon.
This will be held on the first floor of the Knight library at the University of Oregon.
For more information please see: Wikipedia:Meetup/Eugene/WikiAPA, a Facebook event link is also available on the Meetup page.
Hope to see you there!

Hi there, Adam. I thank you very much for the map of Brazil. We need a map in Portuguese to be able to put it on PT Wikipedia. I did the translation of the United States map ( File:Tipos climáticos dos Estados Unidos (Köppen).svg), this can help you in translating the map of Brazil. You can also access this page to see more translations ( PT translations). Take care! − Allice Hunter (Inbox) 05:05, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
As far as I know, I cannot easily find accurate high resolution hardiness zone maps (Average annual minimum temperature) for areas outside the United States and North America. The only maps I find have low resolution. How long would it take to render maps that show the average minimum temperature of a given area the size of Australia? I'm assuming if that would be possible, the first priority would be for higher population countries. Another issue would be metric/imperial conversions. Does this sound like something you could do? Rigognos Molinarios ( talk) 03:03, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
User:Rigognos Molinarios I wish I had access to hardiness zone data like that, but I'm afraid I don't. The average coldest temperature of a year is different data than just the average monthly temperatures, and can't be derived from it. So far, the only place I've found such data is in raster form is through OSU, which makes the data that is used for the USDA frost hardiness zone maps. I believe similar data is also available through ClimateWNA, but they use a slightly modified metric that's considered over 30 years. I'm keeping my eyes out for data like this to become available. If it does, I'd be really interested in making hardiness zone maps as I have time. Redtitan 09:16, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

I'm wondering if you could make a Koppen map for Pennsylvania with county boundaries. Also wondering if you could make it using the 0C threshold for Humid Continental vs Humid Subtropical. I'd love to do it myself but I haven't had GIS software in several years. Too expensive! ClimateGuy1 ( talk) 14:34, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
