;Article(s):
: [[Republics in the Commonwealth of Nations]]

;Request:
: Could someone please update this map- [[Rwanda]] joined the Commonwealth as a republic in 2009, so it should be coloured in pink to reflect that. And [[Gambia]] left the Commonwealth on 3 October 2013, so it should no longer be in pink at all. (And while you're at it, maybe you could also put in the border between Sudan and South Sudan as well, thanks).

;Graphist opinion(s):
: Can you be more specific? What provinces need to be changed into what colour? [[User:Wereldburger758|Wereldburger758]] ([[User talk:Wereldburger758|talk]]) 15:18, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
::Thanks for your interest. All the necessary information is contained in my description and in the lower map. The new Southeast time zone in Mexico, as shown on the lower map, needs to be incorporated into the upper map. As shown on the legend in the lower map, the new time zone is at UTC −5. The extent of the new time zone is shown on the lower map. [[Special:Contributions/86.152.162.235|86.152.162.235]] ([[User talk:86.152.162.235|talk]]) 23:50, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

*I don't quite understand what's happened here. Instead of the new zone being added to the upper map as requested, it seems to have been removed from the lower map, so both maps are now incorrect.

::{{ping|Wereldburger758}} It looks to me like a cockup, the sort of thing I sometimes do myself. With luck, Wereldburger758 will be able to reverse it. [[User:Maproom|Maproom]] ([[User talk:Maproom|talk]]) 21:25, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
Okay, I messed this one up. The new Time Zone must be applied to the uppermost map. I did the reverse. I made changes to the lower map according to the information of the uppermost map. I will revert the edited map to the previous one of course.[[User:Wereldburger758|Wereldburger758]] ([[User talk:Wereldburger758|talk]]) 03:42, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

== Question about text in SVG files ==
{{resolved|1=[[Special:Contributions/78.148.76.61|78.148.76.61]] ([[User talk:78.148.76.61|talk]]) 17:22, 20 April 2016 (UTC)}}
If I am creating an SVG file, I check what it looks like in my browser. The fonts my browser uses to render the text in it are presumably determined somewhere under my control.

When I upload the SVG to Commons, some program there renders the SVG into .svg.png files that are served out to the various Wikipedias. This program has some default fonts which are different from the ones my browser uses, so my SVG sometimes looks wrong: pieces of text don't fit in the boxes I drew for them.

A sensible solution would be for me to change my browser's default fonts to the ones the renderer on Commons uses. How can I find out what these are? [[User:Maproom|Maproom]] ([[User talk:Maproom|talk]]) 20:19, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
:You need to convert the text to path in your svg editor so that it will appear the same everywhere. '''[[User:Rcsprinter123|Rcsprinter123]] ''' [[User talk:Rcsprinter123|(articulate)]] @ 20:35, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
::Not necessarily, see [[c:Help:SVG#Fonts / text]] and make sure that you use one of the fonts listed there. --[[User:Redrose64|Redrose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 21:21, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

== Map for [[Nanded division]] and [[Aurangabad division]] ==

[[File:Aurangabad Division.png|right|300 px|Location of old [[Aurangabad division]] in [[Maharashtra]]. Now this division is divided and new [[Nanded division]] has been carved out of it.]]
The above mentioned articles [[Nanded division]] and [[Aurangabad division]] are under construction. There is old map of [[Aurangabad division]] I have given. Work is very simple, just remove [[Nanded district]], [[Parbhani district]], [[Hingoli district]] and [[Latur district]] from given map, it will become current valid map of [[Aurangabad division]]. Then remove [[Aurangabad district]], [[Jalna district]], [[Beed district]] and [[Osmanabad district]] from map then it will be a valid map of [[Nanded division]]. You can identify districts by clicking on respective district and see location on Wikipedia page of those districts. Thank you. (Hope you understood).--[[User:Human3015|'''Human3015''']][[User talk:Human3015| Say Hey!!]] • 15:16, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

'''Note''': Earlier [[Aurangabad division]] used to have 8 districts in it as shown in map, but recently new [[Nanded division]] having 4 districts is carved out of earlier [[Aurangabad division]], so this map is no more valid now. Now both divisions have 4 districts in it. And it needs map. Maharashtra has total 7 such divisions. --[[User:Human3015|'''Human3015''']][[User talk:Human3015| Say Hey!!]] • 04:08, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
: You could make the life of the creators so much easier is you provide a link of an accurate map. Preferrably a SVG-map. But any map will do essentially. It just needs to be accurate.[[User:Wereldburger758|Wereldburger758]] ([[User talk:Wereldburger758|talk]]) 06:46, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
::{{u|Wereldburger758}}, I have edited this map and posted in respective articles of [[Aurangabad division]]([[:File:Aurangabad division2.png]]) and [[Nanded division]] ([[:File:Nanded division.png]]). I have posted it as self work as I have done derivative work on basic [[:File:Maharashtra locator map.svg]]. Can you tell me licensing is OK or not, or can you create acceptable map by seeing images that I have created? Thank you. --[[User:Human3015|'''Human3015''']][[User talk:Human3015| Say Hey!!]] • 07:03, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
: If I use a derivitative work, I always take the licence of the original work. That is, in some cases, required. That way I am always on the safe side. So I changed the licences of both works. I also changed the source of both files. I cannot create new files because I don't have the time for that now. But it is not a difficult task. Others can do that for you.[[User:Wereldburger758|Wereldburger758]] ([[User talk:Wereldburger758|talk]]) 09:50, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
