Improvement requests

These are articles that do have a map, but could use improvement.

Batch requests

The following are lists of articles which could use maps created in a systematic fashion.

United States Municipalities

Coordinated on User:Seth Ilys/Dot Project.

• Lowell, Indiana
• Marine City, Michigan - needs a dotmap on the page (Bghurricane11 23:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC))

Cities

Most cities outside of the U.S. could use locator maps similar to those being made as part of the User:Seth Ilys/Dot Project. The following cities had been listed in individual articles above.

• Mito, Yamaguchi
• Nihonmatsu (Japan)
• Valencia, Venezuela
• Qianjiang (China)
• Saudi Arabian major cities: Dhahran, Ras Tanura, Khobar, Dammam, Jeddah, Abqaiq, Qatif and Riyadh; other smaller cities also need maps
• Tilbury, Ontario, reference includes Chatham-Kent, Ontario - user en:XAXISx, 19:32, 1 August 2005 (UTC).
• Dhaka Kappa 00:55, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Historical regions of the United States

• Historic regions of the United States

Canada

• Past Canadian electoral districts (including historical provincial, territorial and colonial-era)
• I need a base map of the Pacific Northwest, showing only rivers and maybe intl/state boundaries (no cities or other modern stuff). This will be used to construct the variations on the competing Oregon Dispute claims, the routes of the Oregon Trail, the HBC Brigade and Express Routes, various First Nations trails, the Okanagan Trail, Douglas Trail and Cariboo Road, etc.; and other items needing a full-regional map; instead of one "stopping" at the 49th Parallel. Ideally this map should start at about 41 degrees north (just south of the CA-OR/ID-UT boundary and west of Helena or Great Falls (to show part of Alberta). Been looking around the Commons but can't find anything suitable. Skookum1 20:14, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Newfoundland and Labrador

• Map showing an outline of the Great Northern Peninsula.
• Map showing the location of Isthmus of Avalon.

Seas, bays, and gulfs of the world

• Category:Seas
• Category:Bays
• Category:Gulfs

U.S. Roads

• List of Interstate Highways
• List of U.S. Highways
• National Auto Trail
• Boston Post Road (and probably a lot of other US roads past and present)
  • I'll get there eventually --SPUI (talk) 01:18, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Europe

• Historic regions
• Medieval feudal states of Europe, more specifically: (Aquitaine, Bavaria, Brandenburg, Burgandy, Flanders, Friesland, Ile de France, Provence, Saxony, Toulouse, Connacht, Mide, Munster, etc.)
• Cities of Italy: e.g. Turin (needs a local map)
• Regions of Italy - e.g. Tuscany - needs an interior map
• Prigorodny District, Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, and other districts

{reqimage} --Sabs1285 19:58, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Wars

• Wars where territory changed hands, e.g.:
  • War of the Triple Alliance
  • Battle of Muret

  • Reapers' War
• And Treaties and Peaces:
  • Corbeil Treaty
  • Treaty of the Pyrenees
  • Treaty of Utrecht

Rivers

Most river articles don't have maps yet. See Category:Rivers.

Some examples:

• Grand River (Michigan)
• Rhône River

Historical blank world maps

A general request for more historical blank world maps done in the style of Vardion's world map. There is already WWI, WWII and 1985 listed on Wikipedia:Blank maps but there are surely other historical periods where there were different borders. (middle ages?/dark ages?/roman empire?/napoleonic wars?) These are useful for all sorts of historical-related subjects. -- Astrokey44|talk 06:09, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Explorers

None of the Age of Discovery explorers have maps! Not even Christopher Columbus! It would be incredibly useful for someone to to make maps of where they went, and perhaps maps of the world with all explorers from a certain time period. However, this is truly a batch rrequest because they all need to be consistant. Don't do only one.

Category: Explorers should give you a place to start. If anyone has a concern, I'm HereToHelp (talk) 13:20, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

History of India

These articles would be using maps based on the same template, hence included in batch requests. This is a part of History of India wikiproject. Help would be highly appreciated.

Orphan maps

• Lupin assisted by his LupinBot has taken up large amounts of Wiki disk space with his GBdot maps. Many of them are currently orphans. I have given my reservations to these maps at User talk:Lupin#Dotty maps. These are mainly the large size of the maps and the unhelpful names. Does anyone share my concerns? -- RHaworth 08:39, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)
  • I agree that they're much too big. If he sized them down they'd be fine for using in UK towns articles, but currently they're of no use to Wikipedia. Polocrunch 18:05, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Yikes, I agree, those are way too big. I get antsy when my maps pass 50k! --Golbez 21:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

• If there are any Scottish ones in there then they can get deleted. Discussion on infobox maps north of the border took place on the Scottish Wikipedians' notice board a wee while ago and we came up with a standard which is all hosted in a category on the commons. Due to some views that the maps should be high res those ones are ~200k as well, but they do contain a lot more detail than the flat green lupin maps. There are plenty of Scottish lupin maps that are now orphans, and the ones that aren't could do with having new commons maps created. SFC9394 23:10, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
