Thanks. --ɑʀкʏɑɴ 15:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC) Request for map generation infoI noticed that your bot is currently running through Nebraska municipalities. There's been a handful of boundary changes since 2000 (mostly in/around the Omaha and Lincoln metropolitan areas), and I'd like to learn how to create these maps myself.

New Jersey mapsI wanted to thank you for your Infobox bot, which has done much of the hard work I had been doing by hand rather tediously. I saw that you've started updating maps by county, and I wanted to express some concerns about the new maps: 1) The older maps showed a much larger county map, with a much smaller inset of the county's location within the state, losing some detail in the process. 2) The colors and title of the maps imply that there is unincorporated land, showing Townships in white and other municipalities in gray. Every square inch of New Jersey is incorporated, and all 566 municipalities -- be they Borough, City, Town, Township or Village -- operate as independent units of government (or minor civil divisions as the Census Bureau calls them; e.g. there are no villages within a township or other such scenarios in New Jersey. 3) Some of the maps (esp. for Monmouth County) had provided a lot more detail on roads and bodies of water, while the new maps show only municipal boundaries. I hope I can ask for your assistance in addressing these issues, and suggest that you approach WP:NJ as a forum before proceeding further with these changes. Alansohn 02:58, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Fulton County, Georgia maps missing new citiesYour maps really look great and very clear, and they are a welcome addition to Wikipedia! However I did notice that the maps of this county are missing the grey shading for the new cities of Sandy Springs, Milton, and Johns Creek. Since they all have their city limits at existing boundaries (meaning they could simply be filled if they were raster instead of vector), could you set your script to fix all of the maps for this county? Thanks. –radiojon 07:41, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

A big map plan/requestEver since I first saw your amazing maps, I've wanted to map some more obscure locations, like unincorporated towns, onto them. The problem has been that I wasn't sure until now of how to do that. But today I discovered that there are templates that hold the lat/long coordinates of maps in equirectangular projection. If your maps are of this type, and I imagine they are, I have two requests:

There's a note over at the settlementbox template saying to consult you about maps for New York State. New York has been pretty far behind the curve on locator maps. I've seen the spectacular maps you've done for other states. After I posted my question on the settlement infobox, Detroitbot was nice enough to place pushpin locator maps on a lot of the pages. I've been adding a lot of pushpin maps to New York locations particularly on Long Island (and also usually uploading the U.S. Census Reference map -- if we could upload those maps en masse that would be a homerun!).

I was dropping by to request an update to Image:Mobile County Alabama Incorporated and Unincorporated areas Mobile Highlighted.svg that you did of Mobile's city limits but in reading above I see that it will not be possible to do by your current method until the next census.

Horologium (talk) 21:55, 6 December 2007 (UTC) Old Dog, New TricksI've been trying to figure out how to use Census data to make a map. Specifically, I want to make a map of the city I live in (Villa Rica, Georgia) and its surrounding area and then add locations of the gold mines that existed here back in the 1800s. A similar map already exists here but I do not have permission to use it. Besides, I've seen the excellent maps your bot produces and I'd like to try my hand at it. I've read lots of pages on map making here on Wikipedia but it all just leaves me baffled. There seems to be a disconnect between what needs to be done and how to actually do it. For instance, I've download Inkscape and I found the U.S. Census Bureau's Cartographic Boundary Files but there must be a step inbetween because Inkscape can't import the file types listed by the Census Bureau. I also stopped by Inkscapeforum.com but could find anything helpful their either. I don't mind learning but I hate reinventing the wheel so if you can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Student7 (talk) 17:01, 31 January 2008 (UTC) Cliffwood Beach, NJ MapYou built a map for Cliffwood Beach, New Jersey back in October 2007. Image:Monmouth County New Jersey Incorporated and Unincorporated areas Cliffwood Beach Highlighted.svg Could you possibly remake that map using the portion of Cliffwood Beach that is found in neighboring Old Bridge, Middlesex County, not just the Monmouth portion? Someone just tried to edit the article text to remove the portion of the article about Old Bridge because that part of the town isn't on your map. Cliffwood Beach is partially in Aberdeen, in Monmouth, and partially on the other side of Whale Creek, in Old Bridge. I haven't a clue how to make maps for Wikipedia.

Ohio cities mapsI've noticed that some of your maps that I saw (say like the Deltona, Florida map Image:Volusia County Florida Incorporated and Unincorporated areas Deltona Highlighted.svg) look very good. I was wondering if you could do some of the Ohio cities like this on their infobox maps: Some of the cities in Ohio like Cincinnati and Cleveland already have those kind of maps in their infobox. If that happens to be so on these Ohio cities, feel free to do that for me. I think that you are doing a very good job on these maps and I appreciate that.

The Pinal County maps were a real pain in the rectum because as far as I have been able to find, there was no really "comprehensive" county-level map showing all of the municipalities in Pinal County. Upon looking at that .pdf originally, I noticed the same thing, but just to be sure, I did a print-screen and pasted the image into Photoshop and eye-dropped the colors. It turns out that the key color for "Corridor Mix" is not the same as the color (not shown in the key) for the incorporated areas. The only area where I could find that "Corridor Mix" brown being used was a small strip along I-10 by Casa Grande. By comparing the unlabeled brown to the map data for Queen Creek and Apache Junction, and by assuming that the county-level planning and zoning department would have no hand in the land incorporated into the cities, I figured that that unlabeled brown must represent the incorporated land in the county. Believe me, I tried looking for something a little less ambiguous in that regard. I was actually planning on redoing these maps sometime soon, since the overlapping planning areas was bugging the ever-living snot out of me, too. It is just a bit time-consuming to go through and download all the differing .pdf files, stitch them together into a working pastiche of GIS goodness, and vectorize it all into a pretty form. I'm sure one of these Saturdays when I am particularly bored, I will be sure to get to it. I hope I could answer your questions. (edit) ..though it may have been obvious who this was, I forgot to sign my name. Oops! There seems to be something wrong with this image.

First off, I'd like to say you've done a wonderful job with all the maps of various locations. I do have a complaint, though. All the maps of Lauderdale County, MS depict the city of Meridian incorrectly. In 2006, Meridian annexed a ~9 square mile area to the north and east of its former boundaries. This page, though old (the annexation has already occurred, but the page is written in the future tense), contains a link to a pdf of the annexations. The blue areas were added to the city limits (red striped area was denied), but they don't appear in any of your Lauderdale County maps. Also, the map shows an addition to Marion. Is there any way to correct this on all the maps? If you don't feel like doing it/don't have the time to do it, I'd be willing to do it if you'd give me some information as to how. Thanks! --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 04:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC) Congrats

Question regarding map updatesFrom what I understand, your maps are generated from data released from the Census Bureau, data which appears to be tied to the decennial census (the "real" censuses). How difficult will it be to re-do the maps when the 2010 census data is released? (For that matter, when is that data expected to be released?) A number of the cities on my watchlist have been busily annexing all of the surrounding areas, and it'd be nice to have the new maps shortly after the data is released. I realize that we are talking about something that is at least two or three years off, but I'm just curious about what is involved in the process. BTW, I'm not a bot operator, so please use small words if you have to explain bot functions.
