Make the following typographical corrections:

I would also suggest modifying the text in the legend so that it consistently uses sentence case.

Hi @AAEexecutive, you'll need to place this under a separate request, as your map isn't relevant to this specific discussion. There are instructions at the top of the page on how to go about this.

@Abo Yemen as you are presumably aware North/South Yemen's borders were always contested and often not properly defined or in a state of flux. What year's boundaries do you want? I have a number of sources:
– Isochrone (talk) 00:11, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
Hello @Isochrone, I actually need multiple maps from different eras (if you'd call them that). 1st map would be the one of the PRSY from 1967 till 1971, which controlled Kamaran and claimed the Khuriya Muriya Islands and Sharurah (see al-Wadiah War. The 2nd and 3rd maps would be of the territorial changes during the First and Second Yemenite Wars. The last one related to South Yemen (which we already have) would be the post-1979 map. As for the Yemen Arab Republic (North Yemen), a map of the NDF Rebellion is needed.
A map of the FLOSY raids in South Yemen (future article that I'm planning on making) would be really cool to have. I saw a map of it before, but I forgot in which book it was. I'll start looking for it.
Also, is it possible to have a map of the PFLOAG's greatest territorial control of Oman during the Dhofar rebellion? or do I start a new request? 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 11:43, 29 January 2026 (UTC)
@Abo Yemen you presumably understand that orthographic maps are designed for clearly identifiable regions and here it would perhaps be more appropriate for a normal map. Do you have any other sources than those I included? Would you like separate maps or one with all the boundaries superimposed and a legend? – Isochrone (talk) 20:31, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
@Isochrone sorry for the late respose. It would be better for the maps to be separate. As for the source for the FLOSY raids, it is Arabia without Sultans by Fred Halliday, page 231 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 11:48, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Please separate Halabja from Sulaymaniyah if possible

Map containg the results of the 2024 Kurdistan Region results:

Request
Currently, if you download both of these two SVG images that I have provided, you would notice that the Halabja Governorate is actually apart of the Sulaymaniyah Governorate. Instead, I would like for Halabja to be separated from Sulaymaniyah and be distinct parts of each other in said SVG file.
Do note that I copied this request from right here as I didn't see anybody comment on my request. I'm hoping that this time that someone would come here to actually fufill my suggestion on this one. GuesanLoyalist (talk) 12:39, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
@Cmglee: you think you could do this? (Pinging you because I think you're a pretty good expert in SVGs, so you may able to split Halabja and Sulaymaniyah as separate. No pressure though) GuesanLoyalist (talk) 02:20, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
@GuesanLoyalist: I can't quite understand what is requested. I see that the election results diagram has three territories from the northeast of the Governorates diagram. The southernmost one is labelled Al-Sulaymaniyah. I don't see any labelled Halabja. cmɢʟee τaʟκ (please add {{ping|cmglee}} to your reply) 09:04, 4 February 2026 (UTC)
@Cmglee: Halabja is the small pocket-looking governorate (semi-similar to the border of the ACT I guess?), al-Sulaymaniyah (one of the names that sulaymaniyah is called) is the bigger neighboring governorate. Try going on https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e3/Iraqi_Governorates.svg to see it for yourself if you can.

Also: If you download the SVG of both images and open it in a photo editing app, you should see that the border differentiating halabja from sulaymaniyah is a simple line, so please work on that one if possible

That was orignally my request, but I have now figured it out on how to do it by myself, sorry for not responding to you earrier as I thought I had posted this comment to you. turns out I didn't unfortunately :(

GuesanLoyalist (talk) 23:43, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

@Cmglee: So the elected seats per governorate is what you're talking about? I'll do that if possible, I got that sorted! GuesanLoyalist (talk) 02:26, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
@Cmglee Actually... I changed my mind on the seats thing, I like the current borders for said seats but to still try to fulfill your request, I've made the map borders more thicker then before. From 0.5px to 1px specifically. GuesanLoyalist (talk) 02:49, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Map of the County of Boulogne and Boulonnais estates in England

Article(s)
Eustace II of Boulogne, Eustace III of Boulogne, Matilda of Boulogne
Request
I would be very grateful for a map that shows the County of Boulogne and the County of Lens together with the Honour of Boulogne (estates in England belonging to the count of Boulogne). The source is the maps in Heather Tanner's Families, Friends and Allies: Boulogne and Politics in Northern France and England, c.879-1160. A part of her map of France can be seen here; I think it is about sufficient. Ideally the new map will contain the feudal subdivisions of France shown in this source map (but perhaps best omit the numbers denoting divisions outside the chosen part of the map). Here is the part of Tanner's map of England that contains the English estates. Surtsicna (talk) 14:03, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

I don't have the mind to learn how to make maps. I'm coming to this page to ask somebody who knows how to make the map.Muaza Husni (talk) 05:03, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

I don't have the time to do it, but maybe someone else does. The simplest choropleth map creator on that page is this one:

It provides the color codes, and so it easy to fill in the numbers that are needed for the legend. As with the John Kasich map: 

{{legend|#76F8D4|0.0–9.9%|border=0}}
{{legend|#5CDEBA|10.0–19.9%|border=0}}
{{legend|#43C5A1|20.0–29.9%|border=0}}
{{legend|#29AB87|30.0–39.9%|border=0}}
{{legend|#038561|40.0–49.9%|border=0}}
{{legend|#006b47|50.0%+|border=0}}

--Timeshifter (talk) 13:08, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

I just looked at the link you sent and I am totally lost on this. I don't know what i am looking at. You say its the simplest choropleth map creator. It doesn't look like that.
You don't have to make the map Timeshifter if you don't want to do, but I hope somebody who can do it, can do it. Muaza Husni (talk) 13:21, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
@Muaza Husni: I added some instructions here:

--Timeshifter (talk) 16:10, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
@Muaza Husni: Before making the map, please note the objections raised by @GeogSage: about such choropleth maps (and as far as I can tell, most maps on Wikipedia), namely, lack of an orientation marker, scale, projection used, source (on the map itself), and a conformant colour scheme. I've requested them to raise their objections on this page and commons:Commons:Graphic_Lab/Map_workshop to get community consensus.
