Article(s): 1963 Elephant Mountain B-52 crash
Request: Hello! I would appreciate if someone could PLEASE draw me a map of the intended route of an aircraft (with time stamps / Location name). I would like to see the elevation of the terrain (not toooooo much detail) on the map since it is suspected the practice flight was supposed to take place close to mountain ranges and in valleys. The B-52C departed Westover AFB, Massachusetts which is located at 42°11′38″N 072°32′05″W at 12:11 p.m. The aircraft spent 95 minutes in the area. At 2:30 p.m. it crossed the Princeton, Maine VOR Station located at 45° 19' 45.12" N 067° 42' 15.13" W just south of Princeton, Maine, near West Grand Lake and head north to Millinocket. From there, it would and fly over the mountains in the Jo-Mary/Greenville area. At 2:52 p.m., just after passing Brownville Junction, the aircraft encountered turbulence. It subsequently crashed at 45°31′40″N 69°26′5″W on the western slopes of Elephant Mountain (Piscataquis County, Maine). The crew had further planned to turn northeast near Seboomook Lake and southeast near Caucomgomoc Lake to proceed through the mountains of northern Baxter State Park. After crossing Traveler Mountain, the aircraft was supposed to return to Westover AFB via Houlton VOR located at 02' 22.18" N 067° 50' 02.94" W.
In the beginning, between Westover AFB and Princeton, a dashed line would be good (since their actual flight path is unknown). Between Princeton and the crash site, a line (without dashes - it doesn't need to be completely straight, it can curve with mountain range) and the part of the route they did not fly anymore could be a thinner line (or different color).
I know, the most locations are not given in detail but you can just pick the middle of the lake or something in the area which would have given the low flying aircraft visual clues. I GUESS they avoided towns (since they were only flying 500ft high). If you can do that without sharp turns (airplanes have a hughe turn radius) please do so. A little scale on the bottom or side (statute miles and km) would be AWESOME) Thank you!!! WideBlueSky (talk) 02:26, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Article(s): Love Parade stampede
Request: I'd love it if someone can draw a map of the layout of the the Love parade 2010 incident. There are non-free examples of the layout and the accessroutes available [1] [2], [3]. The best would be if there were actually two maps, one of the layout, and one of the accident spot, highlighting the bridge and wall where the deaths occurred. I can help point them out if need be. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 22:03, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
This type of thing is extremely difficult, particularly for open-ocean boundaries, and particularly without understanding the projection used. A vector artist will only ever be able to make a vague approximation, while a GIS user would have to guess-and-check the original projection in order to georeference it. The easiest solution is probably to start over with fresh GIS boundary data - would you mind tracking that down for us?Lesqual (talk) 19:57, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Article(s): Hadrian's Wall
Request: I'd like to complement the Wikipedia article on Hadrian's Wall with a route graphic. Would anyone be able to do something like the county location maps but combining Tyne & Wear, Northumberland and Cumbria? It's a little (a lot, if I'm truthful) beyond my skills, I'm afraid, but would be a useful addition to the article. Sammy_r (talk) 15:30, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

I can do this from the OS OpenData I've been using to create the "new" county locator maps. This includes the route of the Wall so a basic map will be easy (The strongly related Hadrian's Wall Path is also included). Question is what precisely you want to display: Do you want a present-day map, an ancient map or some combination of both? Present-day info is easy and I could include modern admin boundaries, rivers, lakes, modern roads and cities. As the lake data includes eg Kielder Water showing the natural lakes only will be slightly harder.
If you want a primarily ancient map, I may be able to add on the Roman roads but this will take some time. If you can provide a latitude/longitude list of point locations such as towns and forts you'd want shown I can add those easily enough.--Nilfanion (talk) 19:15, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Article(s): Wasatch_Front
Request: This map is very confusing. It claims to show population density, but density is expressed in population/area. This map merely shows the population for the municipalities. Besides, the map has the traditional layout of a population density map. Whole areas colored in various shades of red/yellow normally do indicate density. A map that only shows population sizes of towns will generally have dots of varying sizes for the towns. A third problem is the bizarre classification. '15,027 - 42,670' is not a normal class. 94.208.18.55 (talk) 22:34, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
You're right, this is not a map of population density. The odd class ranges might be the result of some "natural breaks" algorithgm, like Jenks Natural Breaks Optimization... maybe. What should be done? I see it is used on the Wasatch Front page, although the caption describes it correctly as "A map showing the population of Utah municipalities". Still, the map itself is titled "population density". I suppose someone could edit out the present title and insert something better. Or are there other maps available? I'll check the Commons in a little bit. Pfly (talk) 02:39, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
