Hi. I noticed File:Assam protected areas map-blank.svg. We are desperately needing good svg blank maps of the states of India (with the districts lightly outlined) for use in pushpin in infoboxes. Basically I'm looking for a full set of maps of each of the Indian states in the style of File:Pakistan location map.svg. Like your Assam map but blank. Amazingly nobody has created blank svgs for India yet and we've had to put up with the horrible colored maps for ages. Could the graphics lab please create some good quality blank svgs and list the coordinates like on the Pakistan image page to make it possible to use for pin maps? Thanks.

Request: Can you create the orthographic projection of Quebec plz ? It will be for the articles Quebec, Québec and for some portal on WP and Wikinews. Sniff ( talk) 11:52, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): The map you give as an example comes from a range of maps showing countries and larger regions, including continents; for those, a position with respect to the world makes sense. For Quebec, currently all maps show the region in relation to Canada. An orthographic projection can of course be made, but I just want to make sure beforehand that this is not requested for secessionist purposes. By the way, you might also consider asking at commons:Grey-green orthographic projections maps. Classical geographer ( talk) 13:33, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
This article could be improved considerably with a map. LIST is going to be the best source for topography and the names of things. This gives a good overview. Walking tracks should be included - you can't drive most places there. Noodle snacks ( talk) 04:35, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Additional maps:
Articles: South Korea: Busan, Chungbuk, Chungnam, Daegu, Daejeon, Gangwon, Gwangju, Gyeonggi, Gyeongbuk, Gyeongnam, Incheon, Jeju, Jeonbuk, Jeonnam, Seoul, Ulsan. North Korea: Chagang, Hambuk, Hamnam, Hwangbuk, Hwangnam, Kangwon, Kaesong, Kumgangsan, Pyongbuk, Pyongnam, Pyongyang, Rason, Ryanggang, Sinuiju.
Request: Can someone please make SVG locator maps for each province/city based visually on the maps above? I would appreciated it if someone could make two versions for each province/city: one within South/North Korea and one within the whole peninsula. The files should be named in a consistent manner. Article editor ( talk) 00:52, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Is something wrong with the older locator maps, such as this one:
Of course, the old map is not an SVG, but locating is just a dot placed over any map - whether it is SVG or JPG doesn't really matter, does it? Classical geographer ( talk) 15:42, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Request: I have translated this map using (Template:Translation possible). But I really need help with changing MAR CARIBE to CARIBBEAN SEA. The letters are made of nodes, and not text. Thanks in advance. The Illusional Ministry ( talk) 23:44, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Remove them and put in new text. It's Times New Roman, all-caps, bold italic. You can leave the original text in while you put in new text to get an idea of the 'right' size. (But of course, any size goes, as long as it's readable yet subtle.) Classical geographer ( talk) 09:08, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
I just uploaded a new version. I not only fixed the big blue text block, I also enlarged the Legend, inserted a new locator map of Venezuela, set the ocean color to the English Wikipedia standard, changed the dashed border to a line, and enlarged the names of the islands. I also pulled the title of the map and the little teeney coordinate numbers inside the map, where they belong. All of these edits, in my opinion at least, make the map a bit easier to read and understand. Hope you like them. MapMaster ( talk) 15:01, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Request: Could someone add the towns listed in "articles:" above to the maps above, and create maps of the same style for each of those towns given this to locate the towns and [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] to shape the towns? I'm sorry this is such a large request, and it can be done in stages or broken into separate requests if necessary. Also, to give a sense of scale, the small red square (bottom-left most) highlighted red on the first map in the gallery is one mile by one mile. Major thanks in advance, and most likely a barnstar upon completion. Ks0stm ( T• C• G) 23:13, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): You could try to contact NNW directly. He made many (if not most) of the location maps in the style of the Sudan map.
