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. GuesanLoyalist (talk) 11:29, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Blank SVG map of Europe in 1714
PNG map of Europe in 1648
SVG map of the HRE in 1648
SVG map of Ottoman expansion in the 16th and 17th centuries
SVG map of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1648
Locator SVG map of the Zaporizhian Host in 1649
SVG map of the kingdoms of Spain before 1700

Request: Lately I've been very impressed by the work of Alphathon (talk · contribs) and other users on the Historical Europe series, but I recently noticed that the furthest back it goes in the modern era is 1714, so I was hoping someone here would be able to create one showing the aftermath of the Westphalia peace in 1648. Judging by the maps we have of Europe in 1648, it seems like the main changes from the 1714 map would be: the border between the HRE and France, particularly with respect to the region of Franche-Comté and the Spanish Netherlands; the border between the Habsburg monarchy and the Ottoman Empire, particularly Hungary and Transylvania; the border between Poland-Lithuania, the Ottoman Empire and Russia, particularly the Cossack Hetmanate; the internal borders of Habsburg Spain, showing the Crowns of Castile and Aragon; the internal borders of Britain, showing Scotland and England. I've added as many svg files to this post as I could find that might help with construction. I understand this is a relatively big task, so any help would be very much appreciated. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:04, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst: As I have no knowledge of this I will need your help for this work. The sources don't have to be svg, bitmap is fine. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:54, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Happy to help however I can. Let me know what you may need. --Grnrchst (talk) 14:04, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst

From this map File:Holy_Roman_Empire_1648.svg, which parts do you want (from the legend)?
Should I keep the dashed black line and all the smaller areas within it from this File:Blank_map_of_Europe_1714.svg?
When you use different maps like this they will never fit exactly so adapt stuff, just so you know.

--please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:09, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: As far as I can tell, the main changes would be the border of the Spanish Netherlands and Franche-Comte. The black dashed line should be kept but altered to accomodate for those two areas; the smaller areas within the HRE won't need any changing, as far as I'm aware (comparing the two maps, these two parts seem to be the only changes). Thanks. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:21, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst As I did say before, the different maps don't match each other so I have to adjust.

To me there are many more changes and I don't really know what to do.
A part from the HRE map
Roughly same part in the svg I'm working in. Black lines is the red in HRE.
As you can see there are differences and right now I don't know what to remove or adjust, really hard.

I will have to think a bit about this, what do you think, you have the knowledge of changes here? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:57, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst

----

Those drafts are PNG versions of the original SVG file I'm working in and will upload to commons.

Those drafts are shown for proofreading only.

----

Now I have Draft 1648-1 in which I have added the HRE part. I removed everything within HRE in 1714 map and then adde from 1648 map.

I might have missed something so really check and give me feedback, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:31, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: A couple of things I noticed in the draft: there seems to be a hole in the middle of the Kingdom of Bohemia that wasn't there in the original map; western Pomerania should be inside the dotted line. I'll keep looking to see if there's anything else. Thanks again. --Grnrchst (talk) 16:16, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst Draft 1648-2 --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:46, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst Don't want to rush you, just inform you that I need your feedback on my draft's before I continue, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:12, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: No worries, thanks for the ping. As far as I can see, the internal borders of the Holy Roman Empire all seem to align with the 1648 map of the HRE. Great work on this so far! --Grnrchst (talk) 14:18, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst

Draft 1648-3, Ottoman part.

Brown lines are from the Ottoman map, previous white lines removed.
The thin yellow area is a part I don't understand. The Ottoman area doesn't reach all the way to the HRE area. It might just be different map mistakes but I hope you know.

--please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:33, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: That yellow area was part of the Habsburg monarchy and encompassed areas of the Kingdom of Hungary outside the HRE (the Habsburgs held land both inside and outside the HRE). --Grnrchst (talk) 11:36, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst You are so quick.

So the brown lines (will be white) are correct like this? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:13, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: There's a couple issues, as Podolia was not annexed from Poland-Lithuania until 1672 and the cities of Nitra (Neutra) and Oradea (Grosswardein) were not annexed from the Habsburgs until 1664. --Grnrchst (talk) 12:19, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst So should I

remove the border of Podolia
make borders (hole) for the two cities?

Please just tell me what to do directly. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:37, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Remove the border for Podolia; for the cities, Neutra should be within the borders of the Kingdom of Hungary and Grosswardein should be within the borders of the Principality of Transylvania. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:45, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Oh I also just noticed Brăila (small bit east of Wallachia) and Budjak (small bit south of Yedisan), which should both be within the borders of the Ottoman Empire. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:59, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst

The cities, to me they were inside KoH and PoT. So maybe you meant to remove the small areas of 1664. If so please be specific what to edit/remove. I don't have any knowledge of the subject, to me it's more or less just lines.
We don't have a specific border for the OE so it's the same here. I removed the small areas.
So check the draft below and tell me what to edit, thanks.
Draft 1648-4

--please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:19, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Remove the wee circles in Hungary and Transylvania. Other than that, this part of the map looks good! Thanks again. --Grnrchst (talk) 11:30, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst I got sick so it will be some day's before I'm back. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:56, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: No bother. Take all the time you need, I hope you feel better soon! :) --Grnrchst (talk) 13:15, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst

I have removed the circles, check all.
Draft 1648-5.

Roughly within the red line.

What should I do with the borders that just ends in nothing?

--please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:21, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: I think the smaller endless borders can be removed. The main things to focus on with the internal borders of Poland-Lithuania are the principal polities of: the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Duchy of Prussia, the Duchy of Courland, Livonia, and the Cossack Hetmanate. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:30, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst:

How should I know which area is which from those names? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:57, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Right, sorry. In this map: the Duchy of Courland (in modern-day Latvia) and Duchy of Prussia are shaded in grey and yellow; the area to the north of Courland is Livonia; the Cossack Hetmanate consists of the three regions of Kiev, Breslov and Chernigov; everything inside the thick gray line as well as Smolensk are in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania; and everything else (west and south of Prussia and Lithuania, and west of the Hetmanate) is in the Kingdom of Poland. --Grnrchst (talk) 17:10, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst

The colored areas is just so you can see if I understood you correct, will be replaced with grey.
The darkgreen areas is something I don't understand.
The border lines that end in nothing all end up to a river, could it mean the river is the border then?
Cossack Hetmanate, can't find a border towards Smolensk so I have guessed

Draft 1648-6 --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:53, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Coloured areas all look good. By this time, the dark green area to the west was part of Courland; the dark green areas to the east were de facto under Swedish control but weren't formally ceded by Poland-Lithuania until 1660 (I think it would probably be best to put them within the Swedish empire, perhaps with a dotted line, to show de facto control). And yes, the Cossack Hetmanate border near Smolensk looks correct! --Grnrchst (talk) 10:33, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst Draft 1648-7, like this? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:05, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Yes, that looks good! --Grnrchst (talk) 13:08, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst Spanish part, Draft 1648-8, red lines but white when correct. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:46, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: By this time, the Kingdom of Grenada was part of the Crown of Castile, so it should also have a thin dotted line rather than a thick one. All else looks good in Spain. --Grnrchst (talk) 13:52, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst

Draft 1648-9

What else? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:00, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Is there a reason the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland (coloured parts in draft 6) are still broken up by their internal borders in this one? Apologies if I've not been clear enough on that. Other than that, there needs to be a border between Scotland and England; the border between Sweden and Denmark-Norway would need adjusting (per this map); changes need to be made to the borders between Piedmont, Milan and Mantua (per this map); and the border of the Crimean Khanate needs to be drawn. Grnrchst (talk) 14:39, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst

Sorry I don't keep the previous drafts so you have to more specific, and/or refer to the source for that area.
I don't understand where Mantua is located.
Crimean Khanate, it's a compicated map for me with several different time periods. The dashed red is from your source (added a bit down right).
- Should I keep those and adjust the white borders?

Draft 1648-10 --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:04, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Per this map, Lithuania should be the provinces inside the thick line (Samogitia, Vilna, Trakai, Brest-Litovsk, Nowogrodek, Minsk, Mstsislaw, Vitebsk, Polotsk and Smolensk); and Poland should be the remaining provinces (Rutenia, Volinia, Belz, Lublin, Cracovia, Sandomir, Sieradz, Rawa, Mazovia, Leczyca, Kalisz, Plock, Bresc Kujawski, Poznan, Inowroclaw, Pomerania and Mariemburgo).

Northern Italy's looking good now (Mantua was that small state south of Venice and east of Milan). The borders of the Crimea Khanate were more concentrated around the sea of Azov at that time, see this map and this map. --Grnrchst (talk) 15:43, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst

The thin colored lines are from the sources and will be removed.

Draft 1648-11 --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:59, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: If I'm understanding this right, would this remove the borders between Prussia and Poland and between Courland and Lithuania? Other than those queries, this all looks good. --Grnrchst (talk) 14:07, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst

I believe they are here but check.

I have added the rivers (soft) that connect or pass a borders, if you dont want them just tell me.

Draft 1648-12 --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:55, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: No to the rivers, as rivers aren't shown anywhere else. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:04, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst And the rest? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:10, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Figured I just do a mock-up, here's roughly what it should look like. --Grnrchst (talk) 17:53, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst Thanks for that image, it helps a lot.

Draft 1648-13 --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 10:44, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Amazing work, this looks great. As far as I can tell, this is good to go. The only other suggestion I'd have would be to possibly put a thick dotted line (similar to HRE) around other composite states, mainly the Spanish kingdoms (red parts on this map) and the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth, but I'm not sure this is entirely necessary. --Grnrchst (talk) 13:56, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst

That would look like this Draft 1648-14

~~Done.~~ Thanks so much again for all of your amazing work! --Grnrchst (talk) 16:53, 6 March 2026 (UTC

@Goran tek-en: Ach, sorry, I was hoping to close this thread but I just tried to use the file and the way the paths are set is making it really tricky to edit. With these kinds of maps, it's important for each path that encloses a state or territory be unified, otherwise attempting to fill in the map becomes exceedingly difficult. As an example, see the way the paths are set in File:Europe 1789.svg and how I used them to colour File:Absolutism in Europe 1789.svg. --Grnrchst (talk) 17:54, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst I didn't know this uphand, also I don't exactly understand what you mean by "unified", is it "close".

Do you also want each area to have both the grey fill and white line?

The black dashed lines should be just lines no fill? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:01, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Yes, that's correct. Each area should be both grey fills and white lines; black dash lines should be lines but no fill. Really sorry for not communicating this upfront, I'm still new to svg editing and hadn't considered this part. --Grnrchst (talk) 18:03, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst No worries, do in the next days. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:04, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst There is an effect when you have two dashed white lines above each other. Each line counts by it self where the dashes starts so it gets a bit strange. Also when you have a dashed and a full line above each other (with the area filled) you can get strange stuff depending on which area/line is above the other one.

I have looked at File:Absolutism in Europe 1789.svg and it looks like you always keep the white lines as they are.

Is it really just the area that you are coloring and never the line?
If so, I suggest that where the above appears we have each filled area separat and the lines (just lines) above so I can cut them to avoid the above.
- So in those areas you will have to color the filled area by itself, and place it below the lines.
- I don't know what tool you use to change the color but I hope it's Inkscape (or similar).
Tell me if this will work for you, thanks.

--please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:17, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Yes, it's the area being coloured, not the line. What you propose for the areas seems to make sense. And yes, I'm using Inkscape for svg editing; with Inkscape I can simply select an area by clicking on it and fill it. --Grnrchst (talk) 21:54, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst This is a bit complicated so it will take a while, I started another map when we thought this was done. I will work on this but I have to spend some time with other stuff as well so it might take a while, I will not forget, thanks for your patience. Just ping me if you think I have been quite too long. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:00, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: No worries at all, take all the time you need. Thank you for your patience with me as well! --Grnrchst (talk) 16:07, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst In this area the colored area is one area. On the right hand side there is a red piece of border. Either I remove it so the colored area is one, or you tell me where to add another piece of that border so the area will be divided in to two parts, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:29, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Seems this was an issue with the source map not showing the border on the left side. It should be divided in two; the border on the left side should be at roughly the same latitude as the red piece of the border, and between the two nearest points between the dotted black line and the enclave between the two parts. Grnrchst (talk) 12:57, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

@Grnrchst: I have now uploaded the new version, I do hope all is correct but it's a lot of areas so if you find something wrong just ping me, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:26, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en:

Done Amazing, seems to all work as expected now. Thanks so much for all of this, you've done really great work! --Grnrchst (talk) 10:35, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you @Cmglee! I think the simplest way is to combine the "Adherent" and "Sympathizer" columns as the numerator and have the remaining three serve as the denominator out of 100%. The Axios map is a good example of what I was thinking of, so it would have a "US overall 32%" percentage on top along with a description on it saying it combines the two "Adherent" and "Sympathizer" columns. I would suggest looking at Figure 11 in the PPRI data, which has a map that does exactly this (they use a cool green to blue color scheme). You can also check my numbers below with it as it is interactive since I might have messed one or two up.

I think this is correct (I added D.C.):

Annotated Hello, World photo

Latest comment: 3 months ago9 comments3 people in discussion

Original orientation taken by NASA astronaut and Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman from the Orion spacecraft's window after completing the translunar injection. North is to the lower left. The large land mass is Africa with the Sahara desert unobscured by cloud and parts of Europe visible beneath. The ocean is the Atlantic, with South America visible to the right. The bright planet to the bottom right of the image was identified by NASA as Venus.
Can be used as a basis for the labels
File:Earth From the Perspective of Artemis II.svg

Article(s): en:Hello,_World_(NASA), Artemis II

Request: Can someone please render an annotated globe showing landmasses and optionally national boundaries with the same orientation and distance as the Hello, World photograph?

It might be even better to embed into the SVG a cropped, low-resolution and perhaps muted bitmap of the image under the outlines so that readers can easily identify what countries and cities are depicted in the photograph. Thanks in advance --cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 14:15, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by Pilk (talk) 06:39, 9 April 2026 (UTC) These globes use orthographic projection which assumes an "infinite" distance, whereas Integrity was certainly much closer. However, I have been able to fork the generator tool and added a couple features to account for the perspective. I'll finalise this map shortly.

That's great, @Pilk. Thank you very much! cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 07:24, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Half done Here's the perspective-corrected globe as a starting point, which I hope means the hard part is done. Feel free to double check the output for accuracy. I would support adding this to the article as-is, or for someone else skilled with how annotated images are done to go ahead and do that. Pilk (talk) 08:00, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Can we please leave out national borders from any annotation of the photograph? They are not visible features; they are just fictitious division lines that humans can't help draw all over the planet, only to argue about them and then wage war and destruction over them. It's precisely what images like Hello, World make us all reflect about for a minute, so please let's illustrate to the reader just oceans, landmasses and cities (which by a lucky coincidence are glowing, in the night view). -- Deeday-UK (talk) 08:04, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

I produced a graphic designed solely to help identify the Earth's orientation, based on my previous work for en:Earthset, because the images have an oblique aspect and sea borders are obscured by cloud/atmosphere/reflections/night/the Moon/lens distortion/low contrast etc. Land borders support the goal of showing which way is "up" relative to a cylindrical projection, and also arguably make it possible to derive an explanation for almost all features on the Earth without the need for annotations. That said, I don't think it's necessary to overlay this graphic on the photo itself -- there are likely better ways to annotate it, noting I already see a few a notes on it's File page identifying the Sahara, Western Europe, etc. that could be developed further. Pilk (talk) 11:55, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Done I went ahead and added it to the article, though I just saw the talk page conversation. Will see where it goes. Pilk (talk) 01:16, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Remember that colors, fillings etc can and will be changed.
Please also think about how much of the information from the source map you want in this. Ones we have all what you want in we can make different version, with or without text, some text etc.
Could you please write the text from the two corners here, thanks.

Feedback, anything is fine, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:17, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Wow, this looks like a great start! So excited that you're doing this. I'm pretty sure those areas (the hatched ones in the map) are in fact mangroves. (See this (recent) map: The Paranagua Estuarine Complex its extensive mangroves numerous fishing villages… )

Here is the title of the map from the top left corner:

Mappa da Bahia de Paranaguá, comprehendendo a entrada do Mar pequeno de Jguape:

Which means:

(Map of the Bay of Paranaguá, including the entrance to the small sea of Iguape:)

The text in the lower right is more involved:

Frequentada por navios e vapores de Chile, Monte Vi-

deo e Rio de Janeiro, offerece esta bahia o aspecto mais

pitoresco e encantador, em quanto as suas sinuosas enseadas

coroadas por numerosas ilhas, são cercadas em toda a parte de altas verdejantes serranias, onde abundão as melhores madeiras, onde pastão socegadas as araçajos porcos, os jacús e quanta caça quer. Estendem-se vergonhões de importante proveito na serra em cima. Chegão para o consumo seguidas boiadas da serra para baixo. Acha-se a ipecacuanha nas margens. Nas roçadas sazonão as bananas, as nanaás entumecem, tajos, mangoritós, aipis e carás, luzem, pimentas e tomates. Dá o café, a canna, o algodão, o fume, o arroz com admiravel viço e sua cultura rende bem tanto aos estrangeiros, que são Nordamericanos, Inglezes, Francezes e Allemães, como ao povo Brazileiro, pacífico e hospitaleiro. Ha larangeiras e limoeiros até que apodrecem as frutas. Matão-se os peixes e camarões em milheiros. O mangue é carregado com saborosas ostras sem fim. Terra riquissima! Saudosos sítios!

Here's an English translation:

Frequented by ships and steamers from Chile, Montevideo, and Rio de Janeiro, this bay presents the most picturesque and enchanting view. While its winding coves, crowned with numerous islands, are surrounded on every side by high green mountain ranges where the finest timber abounds, where peccaries and jacús roam peacefully, and where game of every kind may be found. Rich tracts of valuable resources extend across the mountains above. Successive herds of cattle come down from the mountains to supply consumption. Ipecacuanha is found along the banks. In the clearings bananas ripen, pineapples swell, and tajos, mangaritos, cassava and yams flourish, along with peppers and tomatoes. Coffee, sugarcane, cotton, tobacco, and rice grow there with admirable luxuriance, and their cultivation yields good returns both to foreigners—North Americans, English, French, and Germans—and to the Brazilian people, peaceful and hospitable. There are orange and lemon trees in such abundance that the fruit rots on the trees. Fish and shrimp are caught by the thousands. The mangroves are laden with endless delicious oysters. A land of immense riches! Beloved places!

@Goran tek-en

Perhaps it has to do with the kind of coastline, beach vs something else? To be honest I’m not sure. Babbage (talk) 16:27, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Ideally, yes. I am very interested in the author of the book from which the map is taken (en:Julius Platzmann.) I believe it might be hand-drawn and lettered by him so it is of great interest to me. There are clues to his residency and previous exploration of the area by others embedded in the map. I can edit SVGs so if it’s too time-consuming for you to do all the transcription I am happy to help with that. @Goran tek-en: Babbage (talk) 16:26, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage

It would help me if you could write all the rivers names here so I can copy. Start top left downwards etc, I know it will not be exact order but I will find.

When you have this much text in a map always hard and important to get them to fit and extend in the correct direction when viewed.

Should this map be in Portuguese or English, or do you want both? Depending on that, write it here, thanks it will help.

--please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:57, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage I'm trying to group different types of texts together based on uppercase or lowercase, size and there placing.

1. Top right: BARRA CANANEA, this type is placed on the ocean in several places, what are the names of?

2. Same type is also on the mangrove places, are they names of those areas?

3. In several places there are small texts like P. Conaas (just to the right of Island Mel). What does the P stand for, what are they names of?

4. Same with M. Meia (just below 3.)? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:50, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

I think the first version should be in Portuguese. I would be happy to do the English translation myself, if possible. Am I correct in assuming that the text in the SVG will not be turned into <path>s but kept as <text> and/or <tspan> elements? If so I know enough about SVG to carry out a translation. (I’d use Inkscape, probably.)

1. A Barra is a sandbar. (Incidentally, Cananea is now spelled Cananéia.)

2. I think the hatched areas are sandbars or tidal flats; they may emerge at low tide.

3. P. = ponta — A point or headland jutting into the water — a navigational landmark.

4. M. = morro — A hill or mound, usually a visible high point sailors could use as a reference when lining up channels.

I’m still not 100% sure about whether the hatched areas are mangroves, but I believe it's more likely that the cartographer was mapping shallow areas, not vegetation. It’s quite likely that there were mangroves all over the map, but I’m not sure they’re explicitly represented.

I’m working on the name list and will get it to you as soon as I can. Thanks again!

@Goran tek-en Babbage (talk) 03:03, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage Thanks for all your important info, here are some more questions.

Question image

A.

Is one a cross with all four legs the same length, what is it?

The other lines, do they symbolize a village or something else?

B.

Whats this, anchor point or what?

C.

Are those rocks sticking up?

D.

Road? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:10, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

A. Is one a cross with all four legs the same length, what is it?

The other lines, do they symbolize a village or something else? My guess is that it’s either a misplaced "4" or a symbol for a church. But it seems like an odd place for one, and I don't see the symbol elsewhere. So I'm not sure.

B.

Whats this, anchor point or what? Yes, I think it's an anchorage.

C.

Are those rocks sticking up? Yes, I think so. They are warnings that there are rocks near the island.

D.

Road? Almost certainly. You can see above there's another one called Estrada da Graziosa. Estrada means "street" or "road". And here's what has taken me so long to respond: I have transcribed all the places on the map into an SVG file that I hope will be of use to you: https://ruphus.com/platzmann/works-original/platzmann1872bai/map/render-list.html This page loads the SVG and my digitization of the labels, which are from this SVG: https://ruphus.com/platzmann/works-original/platzmann1872bai/map/labels.svg Please let me know if there's anything else I can do @Goran tek-en

Babbage (talk) 03:44, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en

Update! I have done some research and now realize that a "barra" isn’t just a sandbar. It came to mean the entrance to bodies of water where sandbars commonly built up. So in the map, there are four main "entrances" or "inlets" to the Paranaguá Bay (Bahia): Barra de Superaguhy, Barra do Norte, Barra de Paranaguá, and Barra Ibopetuba ou do Sul. There is also a Barra Cananea in the top right corner. Babbage (talk) 21:39, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage Just a quick one. I have downloaded the "content" on your links but there are some restrictions so I can't download them as svg files etc.

But you don't have to fix something I have the content, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:50, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Hmm, I took a look and all the permissions, etc seemed to be in order. Odd. I did add this plaintext file of the labels if that’s helpful: https://ruphus.com/platzmann/works-original/platzmann1872bai/map/labels.txt Babbage (talk) 13:28, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage: I have now added all of the information for this map and there is a lot of information.

I have got the impression that you would like this svg map to be as close as possible to the original source. If that is so then I suggest we make at least two versions; one as like as possible and one which would be like we do create maps nowadays and here at commons. There is a big difference in the usage between the original paper map and the digital we create here at commons and which can be used anywhere. I might also have to enlarge the map in px so that I can use text sizes that will be readable when the map is viewed at 100%.
Please give me your thoughts on this, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:53, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Very exciting!

Yes I agree that two versions is the way to go. Incidentally, I have just begun the process of proofreading the OCR of the book the map is from on Wikisource, so the Wikisource version of the book might be one good destination for the original-style map. I might make a derived version with content relevant to the book (where the author lived, nearby settlements…). I can think of many articles that could benefit from reusing the SVG map, either in full or in derivative form (for instance, en:Superagui, en:History of Paraná, etc., etc). The original style could also be used in the en:Julius Platzmann article. Any sizing decisions are up to you. Babbage (talk) 15:04, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

As for the font, I believe this map was hand-lettered. Platzmann mentions having copied a map of the area in his book, so he may have derived this map from that one. He was known to hand-letter entire books. Babbage (talk) 22:47, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage Please Ping me.

On the source map the ocean and the barras has a texture (line types) on them. Do you want that as well on look alike map? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:27, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Yes, I think it would make sesne to include it because it might be interesting information about historical distribution of the mangroves. Babbage (talk) 16:41, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage I didn't explain enough, sorry. I would have different colors for the ocean and the barras, I'm just asking about the texture of those. The reason is that line patterns like that makes it harder to read the text. But I will add and then we can see. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 21:04, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Ah I see. I defer to your expertise! 😄

Also, just out of curiosity, can I ask what software you use to create your awesome graphics? @Goran tek-en Babbage (talk) 21:47, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage Inkscape, we can talk about the creation after this if you think it would give you something. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:30, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage So finally I have a draft for you. There has been a lot of manual editing to get the texts/map to look something like the original map. Please check everything for there is a lot of information and somewhere there will be mistakes. Feedback please, and just tell me your honest thoughts, all is fine with me.

Draft like source brazil-3, view it at 100%. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:15, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en Holy cow, this looks amazing! I can’t believe the amount of effort you put into making every label look like the original. I will take a good look and let you know if I find anything fixable. You're planning to upload the SVG form right? Thanks again!! Babbage (talk) 23:04, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage

Haven't I posted this before:

---- Those drafts are PNG versions of the original SVG file I'm working in and will upload to commons.
Those drafts are shown for proofreading only.

Is this not what you wanted?

You should be aware of that in order to achieve this I had to convert all text to outline so unfortunately translating this twill mean I will have to do it, as I know what I have done. Also the svg file will be rather heavy in px due to text to outline and the structures of the ocean and the tidal flats.

I will start with the other version of this map in which text will be text. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:39, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en my apologies. Babbage (talk) 15:08, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage NO, I didn't mean it like that, I was kind of asking myself, sorry for misunderstanding. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:10, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Ok I see now, sorry for the confusion.

In any case, I need to give it one more pass but so far the only (!) seeming error I have found is that Bahia de Guarakeçaba reads Bahia de Cuarakeçaba. @Goran tek-en Babbage (talk) 20:15, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Oops, found some more:

~~Entrada do mar peqoueno de Iguabe~~ - Entrada do mar pequeno de Iguabe
~~Ilha Cacas~~ - Ilha Cascas (Ilha Cacas would mean ‘Island of Poop’ 😂
~~Rio Luix~~ - Rio Luiz (I made several errors thinking a "z" was an "x", they look very similar)
~~Rio Çonxas~~ - Rio Conxas
Above Bahia da Serra, there is a missing label, right above R. da Serra Negra, which reads Bento da Gruz

@Goran tek-en Babbage (talk) 20:37, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage

Are you sure Bahia de Cuarakeçaba should be changed to G. Look at NEGRA to the left?
Cant' find Rio Çonxas - Rio Conxas?
Don't mind the color of the ocean, just for my clean up.

I suppose it could be a typo, but I am pretty sure there is no such placename as Cuarakeçaba.

Cant' find Rio Çonxas - Rio Conxas?

Sorry, I think I was thinking of P. Conxas — at the bottom on Ilha do Mel.

Draft brazil-5

I did write before but it probably got lost in everything.

In this look alike map I have had to convert all the texts into outlines, drawings so there is no text info in this version. I would have been impossible to make it look like this otherwise.

The other version (like today's maps) all the text will be text. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 14:48, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en I see, makes sense. Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help! I will do another comparison now. Babbage (talk) 16:05, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage: There is one thing I don't understand on the source map. At the right side there is two straight lines, latitude and longitude I think. But the text top right side say 29 latitude, can that be right? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:08, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage:

How is your checking going?
Have you seen my question just above.
I'm working on the other version but we should finish this one first. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 12:28, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en Sorry, I missed the previous one and have been busy. Taking a look now! Babbage (talk) 20:54, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en Fortunately, we have some definitive clues from the text. It’s not 29 latitude; in fact it reads 25. The author describes sailors coming to his small island to observe a total eclipse of the sun, and on that day they used instruments to measure the coordinates: In the meantime, valuable astronomical instruments had revealed themselves. They were set up on a rock flattened toward the sky, on a rise east above the house and the landing place. Its geographical position was provisionally determined, by means of an artificial horizon and the quadrant, as 25°23'34" south latitude and 5°06'04" east longitude from Rio de Janeiro. A tripod bore the gleaming telescope tube. Compass and chronometer stood beside it on a natural rock bench, as if made for the purpose. The suspense increased when the first contact of the moon with the sun was announced at 9:36:03 (7 September 1858). This tells us that the south latitude is 25° and the longitude was measured from Rio, not Greenwich. In modern terms, AI tells me that that longitude line would be at about 48° to 49° West of Greenwich. Babbage (talk) 21:59, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

@Babbage

Great so I have changed to 25 Draft brazil-6

I'm sorry, but an interactive map is not what I requested. What I requested are two SVG map files instead. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 20:34, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

Request taken by cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 23:22, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

Just to confirm, I'll use the same categories and countries Sadads used in their edit above.

@Candidyeoman55: I've darkened the colours as they were not very visible in the PNG.

I also had to shade the whole of the United Kingdom instead of just England as File:BlankMap-World.svg does not separate them. I've requested the split on File_talk:BlankMap-World.svg#Split_United_Kingdom_map_into_England,_Scotland,_Wales_and_Northern_Ireland. If you could support my request, it will likely carry more weight. Thanks, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 09:59, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

I support, but the split map should be uploaded as a separate file, not as an overwrite. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 11:48, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, @Candidyeoman55: though once forked, it's hard to keep multiple files in sync. The blank map already has different parts of some countries such as France as different shapes with different IDs, all grouped under a parent. Editors who don't care about the parts can just use the parent's ID or class, but editors who need them can separately style each constituent.

Because of this issue, I'm unable to proceed with File:World cup countries best results.svg and withdraw my "I take". cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 15:16, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

I didn't know about the issues, but I still hope the problems will be solved soon by whomever is willing to do so. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 15:39, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Request taken by Kaim (talk) 13:27, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

Just to make sure it's fine, I want to use colors different from the png file, like gold for champion. Kaim (talk) 13:32, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

Gold for champions, silver for runners-up, bronze for third place, blue for fourth place, and shades of green for the teams who never went beyond the quarterfinals. Teams who never qualified would be light gray. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 13:35, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

Kosovo and Somaliland have embassies in Israel, but because Kosovo's sovereign status is disputed, and Somaliland is not internationally recognized in general, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has not formally added them to the official ISO 3166 list.

@Kurcke: @Regioncalifornia: Please check this SVG map. Note that the list above repeats the number 30, so there are 98 (not 97) regions. I'm also unsure why the PNG has Morocco shaded a light blue. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 00:17, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the new SVG map. I requested an overwriting of File:Diplomatic missions in Israel.png, so that I can remove Morocco in that map. Morocco has no resident embassy or consulate in Israel, according to both Israeli and Moroccan Foreign Affairs Ministries' websites. I can edit non-complex PNG maps. Separately, can you add Israel in File:States recognising the Armenian Genocide.svg, because it has recognized the Armenian Genocide? I lack the knowledge and the programs to edit SVG files, also because I don't have a computer (I am posting from my mobile phone). Kurcke (talk) 10:01, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

@Kurcke: My pleasure. It might also be worth noting in its description that the classification of Morocco is dubious.

Done for File:States recognising the Armenian Genocide.svg. All I had to do was to change the fill value of id="il" from #c0c0c0 to #67d6ff.

The Swedish government's proposition (Prop. 2025/26:154, "Förbud mot kusinäktenskap och äktenskap mellan andra nära släktingar"), published 12 March 2026, introduces an unconditional ban on marriage between first cousins, and was law enforced on 1 July 2026: https://www.regeringen.se/rattsliga-dokument/proposition/2026/03/prop.-202526154. The current map does not reflect this change. I've prepared a corrected SVG recoloring Sweden accordingly. --Rigel124 (talk) 09:58, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
