Article(s): Battle of the Sink Hole, Campbell's Island, Illinois, Credit Island, Fort Bellefontaine, Fort Cap au Gris, Fort Johnson, Fort Osage, Fort Shelby (Wisconsin), Siege of Prairie du Chien, War of 1812, and potentially Illinois Territory in the War of 1812
Request: The image uploader has retired from Wikipedia unfortunately. 1. The label for Indiana Territory is incorrect and should be removed. That area was all part of Illinois Territory, no part of Indiana Territory at that time is shown in the map. 2. For use of the image in the article, Illinois Territory in the War of 1812, a orange dot and label for Peoria at about the e in Illinois River as well as a numbered red dot there. Not sure how that could all be squeezed in. 3. convert to SVG. I don't know anything about this but someone has tagged the image for this. Rmhermen (talk) 14:16, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Article(s): Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization Preparatory Commission and Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.
Request: I'd like to have a map on the 300+ (!) monitoring stations of the International Monitoring System for the CTBT similar to this map. They come in 5 types (primary seismic, auxilliary seismic, infrasound, hydroacoustics and radionuclide) and 80% of the stations are completed. Latitude/Longitude Locations are at a US site (at "ANNEX 1 TO THE PROTOCOL") and the status is at the CTBTO prepcom site. I suggest a legend comprising
using separate symbols/colours for the 5 station types.
An additional symbol (asterix, cirkel around it?) identifying those 50% of the radionuclide stations that will do noble gas monitoring (ctbto site above) would be nice as well.
I realize this might be a lengthy task, but appreciate anyone taking it! L.tak (talk) 10:23, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Article(s): Bulgaria, History of Bulgaria
Request: An animated map of this type would be useful to represent the territorial changes of the First and Second Bulgarian empires, with a timespan between 681 and 1396. To make things more compact, a square format map based on this geographic rendition would be good. Source maps with available content are provided above. I'm sorry for making a bit complicated a request, but as far as I know these types of maps can be requested here. - ☣Tourbillon A ? 13:22, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Article(s): Millstone Township, New Jersey
Request: There is an existing map of the county and the placement of the township (Commons, File:Millstone twp nj 025.png), however, it appears to badly misplace the town of Shrewsbury, which is shown located at the left between Roosevelt and Allentown, but according to sources belongs closer to Red Bank way across the county ( see Google Maps, the short link it gave me is being blacklisted ). The original mapmaker seems likely gone (the map was created in 2005), but it might be possible to at least erase Shrewsbury from the map, I gave it an attempt myself but I'm just not skilled enough to get a clean result. Simply removing Shrewsbury would be preferable to the current state, moving it correctly would be even better. --joe deckertalk to me 03:18, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Article(s): Wikipedia:WikiProject Asian Americans and associated uses, such as in the talk page template, userbox, and elsewhere
Request: Requesting an orthographic projection (similar to File:North Atlantic Treaty Organization (orthographic projection).svg ) with the United States (and its territories) and those nations listed in Template:Asian Americans highlighted. Request that the highlights for the United States be that of the Flag of the United States, and the highlights of the Asian Nations either be that of their flags, or multiple shades of a single color. RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:46, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): I think the problem arises from your wish to use an orthographic projection. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to highlight both the United States and all of the nationalities listed in that template while having everything clearly visible. Because of the geographic nature of the Earth and the size of the Pacific Ocean, finding a projection in which both the Asian and the North American continents are clearly visible, as well as any islands, is pretty much impossible. I've looked through the SVG orthographic projections in the Commons and none have the needed angle. While the one centered over Magadan that you linked to comes the closest to the correct angle, it is a PNG file and not editable for this purpose. I would have loved to create a map with a different center myself, but the tool used to make these is... complicated, to say the least. I think one would need to have some serious experience with command line interface and creating maps using the particular software to get anything meaningful out of it. So your choices are to find someone who is comfortable with Generic Mapping Tools if you are dead set on having an orthographic projection, or to settle for a Robinson projection instead. I'd be more than happy to create a map using the latter, provided you give me a list of all the countries you need included—the template you link to isn't particularly clear in that regard, for example, what specific countries are associated with Indo-Caribbean? -MissMJ (talk) 04:14, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Article(s): Crown of Castile
Request: Can someone create some two higher quality maps of the Crown of Castile? The first an Orthographic projection version using Spain as a template, The second a "normal" 2D map using the Location map as a basic template. This map with the borders of the current regions [3] should help. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.168.11.251 (talk • contribs)
Graphist opinion(s): Regarding your first request: The Crown of Castile was a medieval state, while the orthographic projection map you suggest using as template depicts modern-day states and borders. Therefore it'd look kinda weird (and wrong) to have medieval borders in a 21st century map, unless you can find a medieval (or early modern) orthograpic projection map, we could use as a template. Now, regarding your second request it is possible, anyone capable enough willing to take the request?--Sisyphos23 (talk) 10:28, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Article(s): Montserrat
Request: The German version of this map is far superior in terms of information. It includes the names and boundaries of the Parishes of the island, and also includes in red the "Exclusion Zone" and shows its boundary in red (exclusion zone is due to the active volcano). Can we improve the English version of the map in a similar way to the German one? Also please note: the Key in the English version needs to say "Mountain peak" not "Mountain pick"! Thanks so much, Invertzoo (talk) 13:26, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Note that all of the towns in the exclusion zone are uninhabited and uninhabitable. Many of the roads and settlements are completely covered in ash and pyroclastic flows and hardly exist as mappable objects any more. Check Google maps "Island of Montserrat" in map form and satellite image to see what I mean. Invertzoo (talk) 23:32, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Article(s): Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol
Request: The old map was good since it showed the boundaries of the different provinces in each region. The new map does not do that anymore unfortunately. The two provinces are autonomous however and their exact location need to be shown in the region. Can the border as seen on the original map [4] be included in the currently used map [5]? Gryffindor (talk) 12:02, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
Can the map File:Italy location map.svg also be changed to add the two provinces? Please upload under another name though, call it "Trentino-South Tyrol location map.svg". The borderline between the two should however be of the same greyish colour and thickness like the rest. Thank you. Gryffindor (talk) 23:31, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
Article(s): Libya, etc.
Request: The traditional colours of the region are green (Tripolitania), black (Cyrenaica) and red (Fezzan). Please switch the pink from Cyrenaica to Fezzan and change Cyrenaica to a grey (since black would be too strong). Thank you. Gryffindor (talk) 16:31, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
