This page is an archive of unfilled maps requests dating from before the Map workshop went active. Please make new requests directly to the Map workshop. Requests listed here do still need maps and may and should be brought forward to the Map workshop to be worked on. Once a request has been completed please delete it from this page.

For more map requests, see Category:Wikipedia requested maps.

For India-related map requests see Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian maps

Individual articles

[edit]
Let me clarify. I'm doing a blank world map showing the borders at the start of Queen Victoria's reign. Her reign began in 1837. Something like this would be great.

Improvement requests

[edit]

Re-creation requests

[edit]

Note: the following offline images are not available under the GFDL. It is requested that they be re-created and uploaded. These requests were moved from Wikipedia:Image recreation requests. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 20:14, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)

Batch requests

[edit]

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

Countries

[edit]
  • I've checked through the list of countries to see that all country articles have 1.) a locator map that shows the position of the country in the world, appearing in the country's infobox at the top of the article, on the right, and 2.) some sort of general orientation map showing major cities, major landforms, boundaries with neighboring countries, etc. These may also show internal political divisions (e.g. provinces) major transportation features, such as roads, rail lines, canals, rivers, and airports, if scale allows. The maps in the CIA World Factbook (barely) satisfy the second requirement, and are public domain, so these could easily be deployed to fill in many gaps. Country maps may also be hidden on that country's subarticles, or elsewhere on the project. These articles are important because the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team is creating offline versions of the encyclopedia based on them. User:Blofeld of SPECTRE has recwently created many of the missing ones at User:Blofeld of SPECTRE/Missing locator maps.-- Beland 22:17, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Transnistria - Locator map shows position in Moldovia, due to disputed status.
    • San Marino - Could use a map showing its relationship to Italian cities.
    • Seychelles - Needs general map.
    • Singapore - Needs general map, especially showing names of nearby countries.
    • Spain - Needs general map.
    • Turkey - Needs general map.
    • United Kingdom - It would be nice to replace the CIA general map with a better one that showed the boundaries of the Home Nations.
    • United States - General map does not show the names of major cities, nor names of neighboring countries. Also, the location of Hawaii in the world is not clear, and important territories like Puerto Rico are missing.
    • Vatican City - Could use a map detailing its location in Rome and Italy.
    • Wallis and Futuna - Needs general map.

Unrecognized countries

[edit]

Country subdivision maps

[edit]

The list of country subdivisions is missing maps (and indeed, missing articles) for many countries. -- Beland 19:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

United States Municipalities

[edit]

Coordinated on User:Seth Ilys/Dot Project.

Canada

[edit]

Wars

[edit]
  • General maps
    • Resources and industrial capacities in WWI and WWII
    • It would be great if someone took on the task to create a map of where different FARC fronts are active. The fronts and their locations where they are active can be found under FARC-EP Chain of Command by looking at each individual bloc.

Reservations

[edit]

Almost none of the articles on Native American reservation have maps. See Category:American Indian reservations.

Explorers

[edit]

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 request 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)[reply]
