Valenzuela City
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)

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.

Article(s): Painted turtle
Request: I would like to see the image on the left cleaned up in a few ways. Could it be converted to the standard wikimap layout, something like the bog turtle distribution to the right?

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).

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:
overlaps:
