Districts of Iraq

Hello wikipedians.

I would like for a vector version of commons:file:Iraq Dist.png, sure commons:file:Map of the districts of Iraq.svg but it was removed by this edit.

I believe that https://www.ecoi.net/en/file/local/1074303/1222_1190099310_iraq-governates-and-districts.pdf would be potentialy helpful in this case. Thanks in advance! GuesanLoyalist (talk) 23:25, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

@Cmglee and WeaponizingArchitecture: would you be open to talking this request? GuesanLoyalist (talk) 02:12, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

The SVG you linked were electoral districts used in 2021. _⛿ WeaponizingArchitecture | yell at me 03:17, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

I added a move request for the SVG in question to something like "2021 electoral districts of Iraq.svg", would that be ok?

Also, you didn't exactly answer on whether you wanted to do the request or not. Could you say it explicitly if you can? GuesanLoyalist (talk) 05:32, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

@GuesanLoyalist: I'll pass on this job. Good luck! cmɢʟee τaʟκ (please add {{ping|cmglee}} to your reply) 09:59, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

Really optional and all (like I wouldn't mind if you don't follow up a preference of mine) but would it be possible to do it in the style of the maps listed at commons:Category:SVG locator maps of provinces in Iraq (location map scheme) if you can? If you don't want to do it, then it's fine lol. GuesanLoyalist (talk) 11:14, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

I do apologise for not saying this earlier, but I do have some other sources as well. Apologising as they might be brand new and make you restart your progress all over again.

Map of the Province of Canada - 1841 to 1867

Hi,

Is there any way to get a simplified map of the old Province of Canada, which existed from 1841 to 1867? There are old original maps from the Victorian period, but they are not that easy to read, given their age and sepia colours (see the ones included in the Province of Canada article).

I'm thinking of something like this image, which is of Canada at Confederation: File:Canada 1867.svg

The pink and the blue portions together made up the Province of Canada immediately before Confederation. Could a map be made that just focuses on those two areas?

Also, would it be possible to put the cities of Quebec, Montreal, Kingston, Ottawa and Toronto on the proposed map? The reason is that I've recently completed an article on the political dispute over which of those cities should be seat of government for the Province of Canada. It would be very helpful to have a simplified, easy to follow map with those cities on it, for someone who is not familiar with Canadian geography:

Canadian seat of government dispute

If anyone is interested in this request, please ping me or leave a message on my Wikipedia Talk page to discuss.

Thanks for considering it.

Maps for Battle of Leyte Gulf and Battle off Samar

Hello all,

This is a big project, but Commons:File:レイテ沖海戦図A3.svg and Commons:File:サマール沖海戦図3.svg are both superior to the maps we have at Battle off Samar and Battle of Leyte Gulf. An English translated version would be of much use.

Precolonial Zimbabwe trade routes

{{resolved}} cmɢʟee τaʟκ (please add {{ping|cmglee}} to your reply) 09:36, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

Could someone please do a more professional/less bastardised version of this map? It's for various articles such as Great Zimbabwe, History of Africa (7 in total). The source is Butua and the End of an Era (Van Waarden, 2012) page 50, I can email a screenshot of the page. Van Waarden's map has several other details, but it's just the ones included on this image that are necessary. Kowal2701 (talk, contribs) 14:06, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

Ringed kingfisher distribution

{{resolved}} cmɢʟee τaʟκ (please add {{ping|cmglee}} to your reply) 09:37, 9 July 2026 (UTC) Hi, can someone make a distribution map for the ringed kingfisher? The current one is inaccurate. There is recent data from IUCN here. You can see large areas of the Andes and central Mexico are different. Thanks! Let Me Edit It (talk) 09:18, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

@LetmeEditit There is another file here. Isn't this OK? Ikonact (talk) 15:57, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

That file was made the day after I made my request. The person who made it must have had the same idea at the same time as me haha. It's perfect, thank you for bringing it to my attention! Let Me Edit It (talk) 16:36, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

List of hornbills - and the maps can go on the species articles too

Request

The list could do with a few more range maps. Don't need all of them doing, or have any specific preferences as to which get done, except the one for the Northern red-billed hornbill, which needs changing, as the iucn page shows a larger distribution. Having a couple for the Rhyticeros and Penelopides sections would be good. The IUCN citations provide sources. -- EmergentAnarchy (talk) 20:34, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

@EmergentAnarchy I can make maps also for the other species too. May be not all of them but those in Africa can us ethe same map as template. Do you think that these colours are OK? Ikonact (talk) 15:39, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

They should be fine. thank you again! EmergentAnarchy (talk) 15:40, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
