Update Belgium adm location map.svg

[edit]

Hi there! As of January 1, 2025, the municipalities of Beveren, Kruibeke and Zwijndrecht have fused together. As a result of that, the province of East Flanders has increased in size and the province of Antwerp has decreased in size, as Zwijndrecht was originally part of Antwerp. Could you update this file please? Thanks in advance. MrLeopold (talk) 17:12, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thanks for telling me. Please use Belgium adm location map.svg instead of Belgium location map.svg because Belgium location map.svg is part of a map series which isn't updated any more. Both maps have got the same extent so it is easy to change the map. NNW 18:01, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Correction request

[edit]

Hi.

Can you color Lebanon in gray in File:Rail gauge world with legend.svg, File:Rail gauge world.svg and File:Rail gauge world.png?

Rail transport in Lebanon ceased to exist with start of the Lebanese Civil War and its railway tracks and almost all train stations have been destroyed.

Thanks. 88.231.223.31 20:44, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Map creation

[edit]

Hi @NordNordWest I wanted to create maps like Relief Map of Tajikistan.png. What data did you use to create these maps? And I can create maps like the ones you've created using any other software. Can you share your knowledge about this? Mirishkorlik (talk) 18:49, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I didn't create that map but as it is said in file description it is ETOPO1 data (see en:Global relief model). You will need a software that can handle this data. Of course there is vector data needed, too, so this software will have to be able to work with that or you will need a different one in which you can combine vector and image data. As I don't know which computer system you use, your software or your cartographic skills it is impossible for me to tell you something helpful. NNW 20:11, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so I have a QGIS program. I learned that I could use Inkscape for processing. Dear @NordNordWest, I want to create maps like yours. I am so interested in creating such maps of my country that I cannot focus my attention on anything else. To be honest, I've never worked with these programs before, but I'd like to explore similar relief and location maps. To create such maps, there are also lessons on the Graphic Lab project in Commons, but many of the data in them are not working. Some lessons have not yet been completed. I hope you will help me)).

Fürstenfeld

[edit]

Moin! Könntest du bitte diese Datei anpassen: File:Gemeinden im Bezirk Hartberg-Fürstenfeld 2015.png - Söchau gehört ab 2025 zu Fürstenfeld. Mit Dank im Voraus. LG Zeitblick (talk) 05:55, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Moin! Es gibt jetzt Gemeinden im Bezirk Hartberg-Fürstenfeld 2025.png. Die drei wichtigsten Karten in Category:Locator maps of Bezirk Hartberg-Fürstenfeld in Bezug auf die Änderung sind schon aktualisiert, der Rest folgt. Viele Grüße, NNW 17:36, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Shapefile Data – Myanmar Civil War Map (2021–Present)

[edit]

Hello @NordNordWest, Would it be possible to access the shapefile data for the Myanmar Civil War (2021–present) map, please? I need it for a university project and would, of course, credit you accordingly. Alternatively, could you kindly point me to where I might find the vector data for this map as open-source material? Your help would be immensely valuable and would greatly facilitate my work. Thank you in advance for your consideration! Alicetteg (talk) 16:12, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Which map do you talk about? I have made lots of maps for Wikipedia in the past 17 years, I need a link. NNW 16:39, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Angola location maps, update needed

[edit]

Hallo @NordNordWest!

I noticed you are the wizard behind c:File:Angola location map.svg. This administrative division of Angola is used also in c:File:Angola relief location map.jpg. I wonder if you have time and possibility to update these two files? The law on the political-administrative division of Angola (22 August 2024) changed the provincial and local division of the country. Current province level division is summarized in this map. For a longer description with references, please have a look here.

As the widely used maps now have an outdated administrative division of Angola, an update is requested as soon as possible.

1) Firstly, one might want to check that the starting point is correct. It appears that perhaps, in c:File:Angola location map.svg the borderline between a) Bengo and Cuanza Norte provinces, and b) Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul provinces might need some changes? I mean, the current map seems to differ from the DPA map of Angola, attached above.

2) Due to new provinces: c) New border line should be drawn to separate the capital region, i.e. Luanda province (remaining part), and new Icolo e Bengo province. d) Another borderline is needed to separate new Moxico Leste province from the Moxico province (remaining part). e) Finally, one more borderline is needed, as former Cuando Cubango province was divided into two parts: Cuando province and Cubango province.

3) When new Angola location map.svg is ready, these borders should be updates also to create new version of c:File:Angola relief location map.jpg.

4) All the province maps of Angola should be updated to follow the new DPA (political-administrative division) of Angola. I think other editors could do this, if you are busy.

5) This is not so urgent: For new municipal level division map of Angola, one could contact the national geodetic (mapping research) institute of Angola (in Portuguese: Instituto Geográfico e Cadastral de Angola, IGCA) if this is not done already as part of the provincial level map update for the wikimedia community. Typically a national mapping institute or some relevant ministry shares the administrative borderlines openly through some server.

Vielen Dank, --Paju~enwiki (talk) 02:13, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thanks for this information. I will update my files and problably will have to create a new relief location map but that's okay. Province maps etc. will be updated, too. NNW 11:01, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are now Angola adm location map.svg and Angola rel location map.svg, already used in all projects. You will find new province maps with a "(2024)" in file names in Category:SVG locator maps of provinces in Angola (location map scheme). NNW 21:26, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much indeed! Great that you also made new provincial maps, and updated the maps on the Wikipedia in different languages. That publication (https://mpla.ao/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Lei14.24de5deSetembro.pdf) with the appendices of the legal text you found as a source is excellent. Its appendices with tables and maps clarify the many changes in Angola's 2024 political-regional reform. It will certainly be helpful when many articles are updated in various Wikipedia languages and it helps writing new ones! You have done a fantastic job. --Paju~enwiki (talk) 00:43, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Correction request to old map of Finland

[edit]

Hi.

Can you add Suursaari (Gogland) and Tytärsaari (Bolshoy Tyuters) to be included in Finland as was agreed in the Treaty of Tartu. I'd like to have your original map updated as it's used already instead creating my own copy. File:Finland_(1920-1940)_location_map.svg?

Thanks. User:Elekku 21:16, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! It's corrected now. NNW 21:04, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Superb! Thanks a lot! I'm very sorry. I missed the easternmost outer islands of the Gulf of Finland: Moshchny Island (Lavansaari), Peninsaari and Seskar (Seiskari). Note that the Moshchny_Island is a single island. Elekku (talk) 18:12, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The complete group of islands can be seen here File:Finnish_areas_ceded_in_1940.png Elekku (talk) 19:05, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is corrected now, too. NNW 19:59, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. You are great! Thanks a lot! Elekku (talk) 20:11, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Spain (-Canary Islands) rel location map.svg

[edit]

Hi,

I would like to create the relief map of file:Spain (-Canary Islands) adm location map.svg based on your file Spain rel location map.svg but without Canary Islands. Could you provide the topographic map in order to create completed geolocalized map template? Thanks. Xfigpower (pssst) 07:34, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! You can find the file at de:Datei:NNW Arbeitsdatei.jpg. Tell me when you have downloaded it, so I can delete it there. NNW 19:55, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Correction request to location map of Kazakhstan

[edit]

Hello @NordNordWest, Could you please correct some of the regional borders on File:Kazakhstan adm location map.svg? I noticed that some of the regional borders shown in this map file are incorrectly represented as they are in reality.

Some of the recognizable errors include:

There may be additional unrecognized errors, so it may be necessary to re-verify the entire borders using OpenStreetMap or some other accurate data sources. Also, if possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you could also edit the regional map files on here. Thank you very much. --Lee6597 (talk) 12:44, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thanks for your information. I will need to find a better source than OSM because OSM is just another wiki where everybody can edit everything. NNW 15:26, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, thanks for the heads up. I guess I didn't know much about the accuracy of OSM. If you have access to other better sources, you can of course use them. Thanks a lot! --Lee6597 (talk) 16:35, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
All maps have been updated now. NNW 20:03, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's great. Thank you so much! --Lee6597 (talk) 01:08, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Czech region maps

[edit]

Hello. Please, can I ask you to edit banch of maps of czech regions? The boundary between Jihomoravský (SüdMahren) and Vysočina (Hochland) has ajusted like 20 years ago. Also boundary between Středočeský (MittelBohem) and Plzeňský (Pilsen) are nowday difrents. Unfortunetly, the maps on Commons are not actual. All maps in Category:SVG locator maps of regions in the Czech Republic (location map scheme) need to be updated. Sadly, I can´t provide you correct borders in any actual file in Commons. Pleas, check relations of the regions in OpenStreetMaps or look to articles on czech wikipedia: https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Od%C5%A1t%C4%9Bpen%C3%AD_obc%C3%AD_z_kraje_Vyso%C4%8Dina and https://csu.gov.cz/stc/uzemni-zmeny-a-zmeny-hranic-stredoceskeho-kraje-k-1-1-2016 . Write me if you need more data of anything. Thank you very much. Unpocoloco (talk) 08:52, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thanks for the information. I found https://ags.cuzk.gov.cz/geoprohlizec/, that's a better source than OSM which is just another wiki. I will update the files. NNW 10:55, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
They are updated now. NNW 18:06, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. Its perfect. --Unpocoloco (talk) 16:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update request

[edit]

Hello, NordNordWest.

Can you update File:Holocaust Denial Laws.svg?

Holocaust denial has been illegal and a criminal offence in Ukraine since 22 September 2021, in Canada since 23 June 2022, in Sweden since 22 May 2024. See Ukraine, Canada and Sweden in the Wikipedia article Legality of Holocaust denial and the sources:

Sources:

Yours sincerely, Oratas (talk) 08:58, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Why don't you just take the last but one version of Holocaust Denial Laws 2022.svg and overwrite the current version of Holocaust Denial Laws.svg. I think that would be the simplest solution. Best regards, NNW 09:03, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the reply.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to edit SVG files, because I lack the knowledge. I can only revert them. I reverted File:Holocaust Denial Laws 2022.svg to its 2022 status, because its name is fixed with that year, and should show changes up to that year, but not beyond. Every other file name about Holocaust denial laws, has a fixed year as well. Only File:Holocaust Denial Laws.svg has not, and that is why it should be updated instead.
Yours sincerely, Oratas (talk) 09:36, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
