Template talk:Infobox UK place/maps

message: As per previous discussion of other country maps (I am not sure where- it may not be in this template), it was discussed as to whether or not maps should look like an island; such as the existing Scotland map on this template. 
I recall the argument went that as it is assumed someone reading an article has no previous knowledge on the subject, then surrounding countries should be included but shaded out. I have modified :Image:Europe location ENG.png by cutting out Scotland and shading in Ireland and N. Ireland the same colour as England. I think this map looks neater in general as I am not a fan of the Satellite map style, as sometimes you can have too much detail.
:I suggest that you raise this at WP Scotland first as the current maps went through a lot of development. Regan123 21:30, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Can I suggest that we maintain the following list - to avoid the duplication of effort, to identify which have been done and which need doing, and to have everything in one place?

message: Is there any thought about doing seperate local maps for the council areas of scotland, i know the Western Isles have a local map. Cheers Cyberdemon007 (talk) 11:02, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm looking at something for Wales, and then might consider doing something for the cities of Scotland. The main problem with Scotland's divisions is that they tend to be very small, or very large. The former Regions and districts of Scotland would've been better for mapping, but, of course, these were abolished. I'll see what I can do, but help is welcome (it really is! -- England took me a year!) --Jza84 |  Talk   02:30, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there a Central London map template? I put a map on Wellcome Collection but the Greater London map really cover too big an area to be useful.

replies: text: There isn't one at the moment I'm afraid. I'd be willing to create one, but I'd need the go-ahead from WP:LONDON as to what it should look like etc. You might want to raise it with the aforelinked project. :D --Jza84 |  Talk   19:34, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: London map

message: The West Midlands outline map appears to be out of place. After adding the UK place infobox to all Birmingham ward articles, I've noticed that all of the points appear to be north of where they should be, indicating the map has shifted southwards. It's causing some problems because there the Oscott article seems to suggest that it's in Sutton Park and the Washwood Heath article seems to suggest that it is on the other side of the M6!

message: Hi, the coordinates for the Cornwall map seem to be slightly off. See St Day, located ever so slightly west of the Kerrier-Carrick border but the map gives it as east of it. Not sure how to fix this, does anyone know how? Thanks --Joowwww (talk) 16:07, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
