Done No problem, it took less time than I initially thought. I've redrawn some of the coastline based on what was missing. The file I've uploaded is in PNG format, largely because I know from experience that the Wikipedia SVG engine won't render the text inside boxes correctly, even though the fonts are open source and can be embedded in the SVG. I don't think PNG will be a problem - the map is 150 DPI and will scale satisfactorily. Take a look and let me know what you think - and please check the numbers! Best, ► Philg88 ◄ talk 14:23, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
I downgraded the SVG spec and it renders fine (see above) - I have overwritten the PNG version. I have also fixed the South Wales issue - the callout previously pointed to Gwent - caused by a disparity in the report map and the police area map. Should be good to go now.

I have been working on Æthelred, Lord of the Mercians, the ruler of Mercia in the time of Alfred the Great, and I have amended the map which is currently on the article and created a new one at [3]. I am not sure how legible my writing is, but places I have added are Conwy, Much Wenlock, Buttington, Tettenhall, Gloucester, Berkeley, Risborough, Pyrton, Thorney.

All changes that you suggest made and uploaded apart from the date, since that would mean that the Battle of Tettenhall can't appear although it is mentioned in the article. Best, ► Philg88 ◄ talk 16:37, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
This is a common problem and it's to do with the way the Wikimedia software renders the SVG graphic. When it shrinks the size to display it in an article it creates a .png that sometimes doesn't come out correctly. I'll have a fiddle and see if I can fix it otherwise the fall back position is to make it into a .png. I don't really want to do that as that defeats the object of creating a scalable non-raster based graphic. ► Philg88 ◄ talk 19:57, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Many thanks for the cleanup Wereldburger758 - alas a file coming originally from Inkscape to Illustrator and back to SVG is an egregious thing to say the least! I tried to make it ValidSVG but the W3C validator said that the font families weren't complete or some such nasty. Cheers, ► Philg88 ◄ talk 12:01, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

For extracting the WNES boundaries from a Qgis project, I couldn't find an easy way to do this either - you'd think there would be for something so obvious, but if there is I can't find it. Here's what does work, though, and it only takes a few seconds to do:
(*)...Now that's all a bit manual, so alternatively you can do points 1, 2, 3 only, then do File - Save As and save it as a copy on your desktop or somewhere in a file called "Temp.qgs" or similar. Open the temp qgs file in a text editor, and you'll see a section like:
<units>degrees</units> <extent> <xmin>13.30745349297591318</xmin> <ymin>2.41131646368804331</ymin> <xmax>94.73406229858925087</xmax> <ymax>55.48621329091184862</ymax> </extent>
which is the extents of your bounding box. It's important it says "degrees" - if it's in meters or something else you didn't change the CRS in points 1, 2, 3 correctly.
Just be sure you back up your project first (by copying its .qgs file somewhere, or saving it in a secondary backup location) before doing any of this and only save as copies, so you don't accidentally mess up any of your hard work... Begoon talk 12:27, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
