  map of 51 districts

Article(s)

New York City Council

Request

This is a bit of an involved request (it's actually a two part request), but perhaps someone is willing to take a shot at doing it. There are currently eternal links to individual district maps embedded into the table in New York City Council#Districts. I'm wondering if anyone can figure a way to (1) create a map for all of the districts as a whole (like used File:Chicago City Council Wards.svg in Chicago City Council) and (2) individual maps for each district like the ones used in Los Angeles City Council. A general map for New York City's districts can be seen here; so, maybe there's a way to work from that to the aforementioned maps. It's a big task that probably will take some time, but I'm just curious if it's feasible. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:32, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Discussion

 Request taken by DutchTreat (talk) 18:08, 16 February 2021 (UTC).

@Marchjuly: On the first part, I will draft a map of the 51 council districts. The georeferenced data on district boundaries is open data. The second part of creating 51 individual maps is feasible. Let me think about creating a script for this. I'll get back to you in a few days. - DutchTreat (talk) 18:08, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: Completed the complete map of all 51 districts. See the image above. This image can be used to highlight each district via zoom and crop as shown on the pages: District 1 (New York City Council) and District 51 (New York City Council). These technical allows for one basemap that can be updated which will automatically be applied to each district page. FOr putting all 51 maps on the same page, not sure of the performance impact. Please share your thoughts on this approach. - DutchTreat (talk) 17:01, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for doing that DutchTreat. Is it possible to use zoom for the individual district entires in the "New York City Council" article? If that can work, then individual images would probably not be necessary. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:57, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Marchjuly Functionly, no problem with referring to the same basemap image 51 times, once for each district. Since the basemap is large (>2 MiB), not sure if the performance penalty. I'll set up a sample page in my user-space and run a test. Will get back to you in a few days. Thanks for the feedback. - DutchTreat (talk) 15:11, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks again for your help here DutchTreat. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:17, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Marchjuly A work in progress at User:DutchTreat/Projects/Maps/nyc-council-districts. There are two different approachs I'm trying. My preferred method using OpenStreetMaps might have a limitations. Using the Zoom/Pan on the SVG file does seem to work with little performance penalty. - DutchTreat (talk) 12:55, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Marchjuly Completed my work on the 51 district maps using {{maplink}}. See the User:DutchTreat/Projects/Maps/nyc-council-districts. Each dstrict is defined as a Data map object in Commons. Then maplink template used on WP references each map file to draw an interactive map for the council boundaries. I like this approach best since the street level map is shown as a tile background and the map is zoomable for detailed viewing. Please give me any feedback if you would like any changes. If no issue with this approach, go ahead and use them. - DutchTreat (talk) 11:08, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you so much for doing that DutchTreat. Can the version you created simply be copied and pasted in to the "Map" column of the table? -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:13, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Marchjuly I think you already know the answer, but want to close the loop. Yes, simple copy/paste should work. Please add {{resolved}} if no further work is needed from your original request. - DutchTreat (talk) 20:41, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I figured it out. Anything that still needs to be sorted out can be done on the article's talk page. Thanks again for all your help. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:38, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

  Existing map of New Zealand wine GI regions

Article(s)

New Zealand wine

Request

Hi folks - I put an initial query up, probably in the wrong place, about 3 years ago, here. I would like to improve the New Zealand wine article with a decent map of the geographical indications. As you can see, I've made a somewhat amateurish attempt at it myself, but I am by no means an expert at cartography or indeed computer graphics in general. Source satellite map images (and ESRI shape data files) for the exact boundaries of each GI region can be found at the the IPONZ GI register - for instance, for Auckland. Any help appreciated. — Jon (talk) 04:01, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Discussion

@Jonathanischoice:  Request taken by Amitchell125 (talk) 15:55, 18 March 2021 (UTC).

 Done—please let me know if you want any changes, they are easily done. The regions are all now registered, so the key is not needed. Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 12:29, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi - looks great, thank you! Just a few small things: 1. Gisborne is spelled without the "u"; 2. can we link the two zoomed-in areas to a box outline on the main map, and 3. it's not clear that Central Hawke's Bay is a subregion of Hawke's Bay, similarly North Canterbury and the larger Canterbury region. – Jon (talk) 12:08, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

! & 2 done, but not 3, as there are no sub-regions. Your comment seems to assume the regional boundaries are included in the map, and they aren't (except when a geographical indicator boundary happens to run along a regional boundary). Canterbury is good example of this. Amitchell125 (talk) 13:50, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the updates. I'm not sure what you mean regarding sub-regions, though. The New Zealand GI Register clearly states (per your example) that Canterbury "has 2 local Geographical Indications within it" and the Canterbury page states that "Canterbury has two geographical indication that are wholly or partly within its area" namely North Canterbury and Waipara. I was attempting to indicate this on the original map by using coloured borders, and smaller font for the sub-regions.— Jon (talk) 20:54, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

OK, but look at a map of Canterbury (A) and compare it with the wine regions 'Canterbury' (B) and 'North Canterbury' (C), they're not the same, i.e. B+C does not equal A. If you want me to add the NZ regions so that differences can be seen, I can do it for you. :) Amitchell125 (talk) 23:10, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi again, forgive me, I'm still not sure what you mean. Here are the maps for the Canterbury and North Canterbury GIs, which show that the North Canterbury GI is simply the northern half of the Canterbury GI, north of the Rakaia River. To clarify, we only want the wine region GI areas on the map, not the administrative regions of New Zealand, even though some of them have the same boundaries (e.g. Hawke's Bay, Gisborne). Moreover, the very northern-most part of the Canterbury region (Kaikoura) is part of the Marlborough GI, not the Canterbury GI. Let me know if I'm not making sense?? —Jon (talk) 06:53, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

I think we're possible getting there, map amended (keep nudging it to what you want if necessary). Amitchell125 (talk) 09:47, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Excellent work, thanks so much! I think it's at a point we can use it on the article now.—Jon (talk) 09:20, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Legal status of psilocybin mushrooms

Request

I think we should introduce a new colour for the map for countries where the law varies by state, such as the U.S. (perhaps orange). In the U.S. psilocybin mushrooms are not illegal in every state; for example, in Oregon they along with all other drugs have been decriminalised and are legal in the state for medical use in supervised settings.

Samsun–Kalın railway

Request

Hello Map Wizards,

I get my covid jab on Friday so I started armchair travelling and found this nice map by NordNordWest (talk · contribs), The Emirr (talk · contribs) and Pechristener (talk · contribs).

The small lines going east from Samsun, the 2 white circles and the words "Samsun Gewerbegerbeit" and "Çarşamba" need to be deleted as those lines are no longer used. Would that be easy for one of you guys? If so let me know before you do it and I will check all the station names to see if any need correcting.

Thanks

Hi PinkPanda272 yes I can update the graphs during the campaign. (I had stopped updating as I misplaced the file.) Sure, it is looking busy now.

Matanuska-Susitna Valley

Request

As was pointed out at Talk:Matanuska-Susitna Valley this map is basically useless to anyone with color blindness, and not much better for those who do not have it. It is unfortunately in use in quite a number of different projects, simply because it is the only map we have. I'm not sure how the original creator of the map made the decision to place the borders where they did, the Matanuska part of the valley extends all the way to Matanuska Glacier. I will endeavor to locate some sources that define the valley borders. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:01, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
