Update and vectorize biomes of Turkey

source
crop
version by LápizRoto

I used an online tool to crop but I could not figure out how to save it as svg

Article(s): en:List of ecoregions in Turkey and others

Request: I looked in “Category:Biome maps” but I could not find anything. I would like to add the names of the biomes so they can be translated.

Could you possibly update per ^[1]^[2]? --Chidgk1 (talk) 11:12, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Chidgk1, please take a look. I got the names of the biomes directly from the source SVG (I also tried your links, but they were confusing and didn't seem to align exactly with the source details). If you would like me to make any other changes, just let me know exactly what you need. Or if you're happy with the result, let me know too. LápizRoto (talk) 06:35, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LápizRoto Sorry for extremely late reply - for some reason I only just noticed you had done this. Thank you very much. I especially like the well-placed legend box.

I see that @Terpsichores created Western palearctic biomes.svg in 2012 based on WWF data. I understand that WWF later passed the responsibility for maintaining such data to One Earth hence my links. So I think the reason for the non-alignment you mention is that the biomes have been updated since 2012. For our map to be up to date, if possible I would like the One Earth maps to be used and cited as our source not WWF.

Also the One Earth maps look better as they have fewer lines. Would it be possible for you to update per One Earth? If you need me to contact them via https://www.oneearth.org/contactus/ please let me know. Chidgk1 (talk) 07:07, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Map is unmaintainable by editors who might wish to correct details

Article(s): wikipedia:en:Law#Legal_systems

Request: Are there any frameworks or tools that could replace this file with a version that maintains the high graphical quality of the original, but permits granular editing (for example of facts like changing political boundaries, or developments in the subject matter, or corrections resulting from sourcing errors)? TheFeds 21:56, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): @TheFeds: Not sure what you mean? Are you struggling with editing SVG files, in such case you can use Inkscape. BorysMapping (talk) 10:15, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My concept was that this map had been created with a tool or framework of some sort, which queried and generated the political boundaries, the table and graph styles, etc., and allowed the user to not resort to manually drawing vectors in Inkscape. Without the practical ability to correct small errors, the images will gradually become less usable in Wikipedia articles, and might have to be editorially omitted or couched with limiting statements. TheFeds 20:27, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TheFeds I have downloaded, open and edited both files and there is not any difficulties with that;

svg file with Inkscape, as was mentioned before
png file with Gimp
the svg file as to be uploaded by a autoconfirmed user, or you can ask at Commons:Village_pump

If this is not what you mean you have to explain in another way. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:10, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en: I was attempting to use this as example to ask a broader question about how to keep maps with legends up to date, without having to raster edit a PNG, or use the SVG that appears to be an incomplete copy. I was hoping that someone had found or made a tool that takes scripted input like some form of markup, and lets a modified derivative version be made without necessarily being an accomplished image editor. As the image gets older, present reality may diverge from what is depicted, and (mainly) Wikipedia editors will have to decide whether to live with a 95% correct image in the article, or remove the image because it is 5% incorrect. If things like the base map (e.g. for boundaries and projection), colours, labels, overlays, etc. were in conveniently structured layers that could be individually edited, that might make such a task easier. I know that in an SVG editor, the individual path entities are editable, but this is both difficult and complicated for the average user. Maybe @Goldsztern (the SVG image's creator) was attempting a preliminary version of this, by creating a native vector version (they cited the base map and the data sources) that could at least be edited carefully in the future. I was hoping there might be a more advanced version somewhere that allowed a user without technical skill or a lot of time to see which fact corresponded to which vector object, and to change the characteristics. TheFeds 07:07, 22 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TheFeds Thanks for explaining.

If we had a perfect world and everyone did everything in exact the same way maybe, maybe this would be possible. But here at commons (wikimedia) with so many different people involved I say, no way.

It's messy and we will always be behind with edits just like all books, educations etc are. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:20, 22 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Debray05

Suggestions:

You could put that information in the different maps Information part and write which, because maybe they are included so that people will easier locate the routes.
If you want some cities removed you will have to provide which cities in which map so the graphic worker will know (probably the graphic worker will have no knowledge of this, this is your field of interest/knowledge) and then they can be uploaded as new versions and not overwrite the current ones.

--please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:05, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Goran, nice to meet you.

Sorry for just reading your comment.

Perfect! I have left the message in each discussion in the “Information” section of each image.

I understand that you have used current cities as a guide, but the truth is that during Columbus' voyages, those cities did not exist.

Instead, there were pre-Columbian cities, which I have indicated in each message so that when a designer decides to help us with the adjustment, they can use them as a guide.

Thank you very much. Debray05 (talk) 16:58, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Debray05 Please always ping me.

I'm sorry I should have checked the files more closely before. They have different languages translated within the code of the file. This can be a useful thing sometimes but it also complicates things, and it doesn't work so great sometimes.

I do not use the translation tool myself [translation tool for the first image) and I don't have any good knowledge about it.

So this makes everything more complicated and I do not have the knowledge to work with this, so I will not be able to help you with this, sorry. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:45, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cannabis maps

Article(s): en:Legality of cannabis, en:Cannabis in the Czech Republic

Request

Can someone please change the Czech Republic to orange on the first map (File:Map-of-world-cannabis-laws.svg) and green on the second (File:Legality of Cannabis in Europe.svg)? Cannabis is not currently legal in the Czech Republic but is decriminalised. It won't be legalised until 1 January 2026, then it can be changed to blue, but it shouldn't be blue on either map now. Helper201 (talk) 12:33, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You left this message on my talk page, and I explained that both maps display laws that haven't yet come into effect. The same was done with previous jurisdictions and is consistent with other cannabis-themed maps such as those of the United States. --Ratherous (talk) 22:44, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And as I explained, consistency does not make anything correct. The map is displaying wrong information. That is factually correct to say. It doesn't matter how many times you do something wrong; it will always be wrong. Neither this map nor any other should be displaying information that is not currently factually correct. How is a Wikipedia reader (i.e. a non-editor) supposed to know which laws are current and which are future looking at these maps? They can't. Therefore, I posted here because you seemed unwilling to make this change and we seemed to be at an impasse. Helper201 (talk) 16:42, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you would like to change the policy the maps follow you would have to have a discussion regarding doing so for both of those maps, not unilaterally demand someone makes changes for you. Also the Wikipedia articles do indeed expand on dates the laws come into effect, so the readers do very much have access to this information. Not to mention, one of the maps is literally a map I created and uploaded. --Ratherous (talk) 17:03, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And where has such a "policy" been formed in the first place and where would it be changed? I have "demanded" nothing, I made a request. I don't see anywhere on these maps where it states that the legalisation for the Czech Republic hasn't actually happened yet. Finally, you might like to read en:WP:OWN.

Also, Mexico is flat-out wrong. Cannabis is decriminalised in Mexico, not legalised. Helper201 (talk) 04:02, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There has been a consistent pattern not only with this map, but as I mentioned previously, with other cannabis-themed maps from other regions with numerous precedents from previous jurisdictions legalizing the substance. Again, this is not exclusive to cannabis-themed maps, but also certain other legal visualizations, an example of which I have previously provided for you. I hope you realize Wikipedia and Commons are different projects and en:WP:OWN differs from COM:OWN. I don't think me inviting you to engage in a discussion over this issue in any way exhibits over-possessiveness over my upload in a manner that is contrary to COM:OWN. All files on Commons have talk pages, similarly to WP articles, which would, of course, be the appropriate location for a discussion. Your comment regarding Mexico would likewise be appropriate on the map's talk page - considering you provide sources and clearly back-up your claim, someone is very likely to respond either in favour or in opposition relative to the provided arguments. As you said yourself, "Therefore, I posted here because you seemed unwilling to make this change and we seemed to be at an impasse." Once you received push-back regarding your request on one user's talk page, your immediate reaction was to repeat your request elsewhere rather than opt for a wider discussion on the map's talk page - I'm not sure how not to perceive that as a demand over all else. Being at an "impasse" over content-related issues would be an appropriate point to start a wider discussion on both WP and on Commons. --Ratherous (talk) 01:27, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Age of majority

Article(s): en:Age of majority

Request: Some of the colours used for the ages on this map are too similar to each other and could cause problems for people with colour-blindness and other sight related issues. Specifically, the ages for 15/16 and 21 are very similar (seem to both be shades of orange) and the ages of 19 and 20 are also very similar in that they are both shades of blue. I would propose more distinct colour differences and would recommend changing the age of 21 to black and 20 to red. Helper201 (talk) 23:27, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request taken by cmglee – Agreed that the colours should be updated. Having brownish colours for both lowest and highest values may confuse readers. Additionally, as the map is mostly green, that colour's saturation can be decreased. However, the map is used on many articles and updating legends will need much work. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 15:21, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Helper201: Is this better?
cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 14:30, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmglee: its definetly better. However, I think it needs at least one change. <16 is very vague (could be anything from 0 to 15) and there is only one country among these that sets an age lower than 16 that I could find and that's Indonesia. I'd recommend setting a new colour for 15 and marking this in the key to be clearer and then "<16" in the key can be simple changed to "16". Maybe use black for 15 and "LightSlateGray" for 16? Helper201 (talk) 17:43, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Helper201: It is no vaguer than the original, which states "age 16 or younger". Nevertheless, if it is indeed true that only Indonesia is lower than 16, I'll make the change. Can someone please confirm?

Thanks, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 19:24, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cmglee: my apologies, I didn't mean to say that you made it worse, just that it could be made better than it was in the first place (i.e. before it was changed) by being less vague. Regarding Indonesia being the only country under 16, see here. Helper201 (talk) 19:38, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Helper201: No worries, and thanks for clarifying.

Delving deeper into the question, 2001:1970:56df:7d00:d09e:3d3:80f8:7257 (talk · contribs) removed Yemen from the age-15 category in this edit. The previous reference is now invalid.

http://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/age-of-majority-by-country still states that it's 15 but cites Wikipedia. Would you be able to find an authoritative source for Yemen, please?

Thanks, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 12:01, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. The article cites a "Constitution ot the Yemeni Republic" which states "3 - Age of Majority: eighteen full calendar years." http://natlex.ilo.org/dyn/natlex2/natlex2/files/download/83560/YEM83560.pdf concurs, so I've moved Yemen to age 18.

Re colours, I made age 15 black and age 16 dark blue so that the colours get darker away from 18. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 12:16, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Can someone please adjust the geographical extent of the Chera country in the first map to match the second map, which represents the correct (more accurate) extent? --JamesMdp (talk) 14:06, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

@JamesMdp: File:Chera_kingdom,_southern_India.png is a PNG image and should be recreated as an SVG, perhaps with a different projection.

Somaliland is missing from the map

Countries with diplomatic relations with Israel

Article(s): en:Foreign relations of Israel

Request: Could someone please add Somaliland? --Regioncalifornia (talk) 21:53, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Somalia is drawn as a single path (with id="so"). To satisfy the request, Somaliland has to be split out from this path. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 01:09, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Somaliland from the maps

International recognition of the State of Palestine
Diplomatic relations of State of Palestine

Article(s): en:International recognition of Palestine; en:Foreign relations of Palestine

Request: Somaliland does not officially recognize the State of Palestine, and the State of Palestine absolutely rejects Somaliland's existence and independence. They do not have diplomatic relations, so I am requesting that someone please remove Somaliland from both maps. Thank you. --Regioncalifornia (talk) 17:19, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): As of now, only one country recognises Somaliland. Whereas File:Israel-somaliland_locator.svg is specifically about that topic, these maps are about a third country. Is it premature to update them when most countries still consider Somalia a single country? It's opening a can of worms to have to continually update this and other maps when separatists have different stands from their respective countries. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 01:19, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
