Graphist opinion(s): This is one feature that really needs to be done, and could make detailed svg maps so much more useful. i think this should go into the technical section -- 59.92.35.81 -- PlaneMad| YakYak 12:42, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Article(s): Tons of Alaska infoboxes
Request: This isn't strictly a map request, though it may involve creating a map. I'm mostly posting here to get the attention of editors who might be able to do this. :) Currently the first map above is used in the infoboxes for tons of Alaska articles - all the infoboxes that use Template:Location map, which generates pushpin maps based on coordinates for infoboxes. The template uses an equirectangular projection which works well near the equator (see, e.g. Phnom Penh) but kind of sucks for locations near the poles. Is there someone clever with math who can make an equation for a non-equirectangular projection (I know basically nothing about this topic so I can't suggest a better one) to create some alternative, non-horribly-skewed map for infoboxes of places like Alaska? Thanks! And if no one here can do it do you have other ideas of where I could go to request it? I tried at requested templates but the people who hang out there don't seem very map-oriented, as I haven't got any responses yet. :( Calliopejen1 ( talk) 01:33, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): I'm not sure where to ask either, it is a persistent problem, not just for Alaska but for all northern or southern countries as well, sadly that's beyond my programming abilities to fix. Anyone else have ideas? Seeing as the alternative is to make an individual static map for every location it would be nice to see a template/programming solution. Kmusser ( talk) 13:55, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
{{ Location map skew}} or {{ Location map polarx}} may be useful, but I do not see any suitable maps of Alaska to go with them. It may be possible to make something from File:National-atlas-alaska.png but what projection is it? Certes ( talk) 21:46, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Article(s): Arctic
Request: Following discussion at Arctic's talk page, and at WikiProject Geography, could an SVG map be made for Arctic, based on the existing SVG map used by Europe? Could blue be used for land within the "July 10°C isotherm" region, and light blue for ocean within the 10°C isotherm region? (The blues to indicate that the Arctic is a polar region, as opposed to the green used on the Europe map). Cheers, This flag once was red propaganda deeds 11:48, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

With the requests above for orthographic maps, i thought I'd squeeze this request in while they are being made. Could someone make an orthographic projection of Indonesia, and fix the shadow on the below map to match the style of all others? Thanks in advance, everyone.!

Article(s): Interracial marriage in the United States
Request: First request, so sorry if I get it wrong. I'd like to request a new map showing when interracial marriage was legalised in each U.S state. The data can be found here, with the repeal of each anti-miscegenation law, the second date, being the time when interracial marriage was legalised. For Kansas, for example, interracial marriage was legalised in 1859. Suggest colour grouping by decade. Thanks, YeshuaDavid • Talk • 23:03, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Here's my attempt: red = -1887, green = 1948-1967, blue = 12 June 1967. The colours [of a previous version] can be toned down if they are too bright. I have used the three distinct eras as in the table, because the text suggests that they are more logical groupings than decades. It can be changed to group by decade if you prefer. If so, would we then want to keep the 12 June 1967 distinction and do you have a preference for colour scheme or shall I make a logical one up? Certes ( talk) 21:57, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Cheers, that's really good, thanks :) I'll insert it into the article. YeshuaDavid • Talk • 00:03, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Update Hi, a user just pointed out to me that the map incorrectly shows Virginia in grey, when it actual fact the state should be listed in red since its laws were struck out in 1967. Is it possible to change this? Thanks, YeshuaDavid • Talk • 22:08, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Does it have to be in this colour scheme? An SVG of Morocco is already available:
, and it could be easily adapted to show the Spanish Sahara shaded, or striped, or anything else.

Done There's two versions - the striped one I came across just after I uploaded the shaded one. If the colours do need to be kept the same it wouldn't take long to do.

Article(s): International Space Station, Mission Control Centre
Request: I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to construct a world dotmap of the locations shown on page 3 of this? It'd greatly assist in demonstrating the locations of Mission Control Centres around the globe that are involved in the International Space Station project, and would prove useful in the main MCC article.

Graphist opinion(s):
Sure, I can do this. I'm not sure if you want all the dots on that map or just the control centres, so I'll put all of them and you can say which ones to remove after.

Request: A newer, sharper, clearer SVG image would be more befitting to the forthcoming, revamped version of the Cornish people article. There are other maps of Cornwall (for reference) here. The content of the map is verifiable, and is based on a page in "K. George, Cornish, in: M. Ball (ed.), (1993) The Celtic Languages".
Notice: The place names are in the Cornish language and should be in English (for the English WP). Truru should be spelt Truro, Pensans should be spelt Penzance and please ignore "Foath". -- Jza84 | Talk 13:38, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
