@Lucasmota0975 You'll first need Inkscape, a free SVG editor, which you can download here, https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.2.2/. Then you'll need to download the map as an SVG and open it in Inkscape. It will probably take a little while to open and cause Inkscape to be quite laggy, as the map is a rather large file. To change the frontline, double click the Russian occupied area to reveal the perimeter nodes and then adjust them to your desired shape. To change the status of a city, delete the marker it currently has and replace it by copy/pasting a marker of the same size with the correct status, ensuring that it is put in the same place as the old marker. I advise you not to try adding or editing any text on the map, as all text on the map contains hidden translations that are quite fragile and easy to break. Also, if you plan to upload your version of the map, ensure you edit the most recent version, as you would not want to accidentally undo a previous edit. I hope this is helpful!

Can you add settlements along the Svatove-Kreminna Line on your battle of Donbas map?
Latest comment: 1 year ago3 comments2 people in discussion
Hey! On your battle of Donbas map, Can you add all of the settlements that span from Nizhnia Duvanka down to Kreminna? Those settlements are being fought for village by village and it would be good to see them on a battle map. Also, can you add Pavlivka near Vuhledar as well? 2600:4041:5F95:FD00:1580:683C:50F5:AE1604:36, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

First one: Put Bakhmut again as "Enemy pressure from one side" since russia only control the outskirts
Second one: Set Kreminna to also "Enemy Pressure from one Side" but set to Ukranian pressure, Ukraine pushed onto Kreminna outskirts and also lot of Bases and ammunition Depos are destroyed in kreminna, even russian soldiers say the situation is awful, so if you can edit it the module, please do it Lucasmota0975 (talk) 13:38, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
Half done I have added to enemy pressure symbol to Kreminna. Unfortunately for Bakhmut, it seems that Russia controls small portions of territory inside the city limits, and that fighting is ongoing inside of the city, which fits the definition of contested. Physeters✉23:12, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
Vuhledar
Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion
It is contested? Like, theres a plenty of videos showing that the Ukranians control the city, and videos of russian batallions destroyed, i think its better than to fully UKr control in Detailed map and in the SVG Lucasmota0975 (talk) 18:24, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
Vuhledar is divided into two sections, a large northwestern part and a small southeastern part. The ISW says that Russia controls around half of the southeastern part, but none of the large northwestern part. Unfortunately, this makes Vuhledar contested. Should the ISW say that Russia is no longer that area, I will change Vuhledar back to Full Ukrainian control. Physeters✉20:59, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Vuhledar(Again)

So..... Put Vuhledar in both wikimedia commons map and detailed map as full UA control, no visual proof about Russians forces being in the eastern hamlet of it, also, if you can add heavy enemy pressure for Horlivka Lucasmota0975 (talk) 00:39, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
I've changed Avdiivka and Horlivka, but I still think Vuhledar is better off being left contested. Ukraine definitely controls the main part of Vuhledar, but the hamlet is very much still a grey zone, under neither Russian OR Ukrainian control. DeepState, a popular Ukrainian Telegram channel, shows it as a grey zone, and the ISW doesn't want to commit either way, showing it mostly as Ukrainian counteroffensive and the northern part as claimed Russian control. Physeters✉02:28, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
On 23 March 2023, Iceland has officially recognized the Holodomor as a genocide, and on 28 March 2023, France has officially recognized the Holodomor as a genocide.
However, a user (probably a Russian troll) is reverting this map by ignoring sourced content about the official recognition of the Holodomor by individual countries.

Hello.
Can you correct File:Holodomor recognition by country 2.png, by applying the updates in File:Holodomor World Recognition.svg? Not every EU member has recognized the Holodomor, as a genocide or as an extermination. The second legend about the EU countries is rather confusing, because the text does not differ from the first legend. This map was created only a few days ago and is in the English and German Wikipedias. (When more countries recognize the Holodomor in the very near future, can you also update the other Holodomor genocide maps, that are not as extensively used across Wikipedia, including this PNG map?)
Sure, I'll make sure to keep it and all the other Holodomor recognition maps up to date. However, I don't know what I should do with the EU countries. It is true that the EU legislature adopted a resolution the recognized the Holodomor as a genocide, so I'm unsure if I should just rewrite the legend, or display the EU countries as they are displayed on other the SVG map. Physeters✉17:17, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
A user has requested, that File:Holodomor World Recognition.svg be renamed by adding the year 2023, but I believe the name should stay as it is, because more countries will recognize the Holodomor beyond 2023. A year label will only restrict future updates for this file. What do you think? Multituberculata (talk) 17:02, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
I totally agree. About the png map, it already has an extermination category, so should I just completely get rid of EU category? Physeters✉17:11, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
Yes, please get rid of the EU category, and make that label an extermination category just like in File:Holodomor World Recognition.svg. For File:Holodomor World Recognition.svg, I am searching how to oppose its renaming. Multituberculata (talk) 17:32, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Can you make detailed maps of the former Russian Occupation of Sumy, Kyiv, and Zhytomyr Oblasts?

Map Request
Latest comment: 1 year ago7 comments2 people in discussion
Hey! I know this is a bit off topic from the war directly, but I have a request for a map series surrounding Ukraine that I think you might like to make. Is there any way you can make a historical series of maps starting from 1932 to today which shows the evolution of Ukraine's oblasts? Only a few years between that time need to be changed and if you think you can do this I will let you know them. Ever since the war started I became interested in following the developments regarding Ukraine's oblasts but I couldn't find many historical maps surrounding it, so I think this project would paint a good picture on border changes that took place within Ukraine's administrative divisions from 1932 (when the oblasts were formed) to today. Thank you for hearing me out!! Aimmella12 (talk) 02:15, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
There is actually a gif already here on Commons that shows exactly what you're after, and I have attached it here! Unfortunately, it is all in Ukrainian, but since all of the subtitles are copied in the description of the file, they can be easily translated with a program like Google Translate.

Here is a link to the google docs that I put all of the maps on (I made it all access so it shouldn't give you a problem).

That's good!! Do you happen to know when Kyiv became a city of republican subordination within the Ukrainian SSR? The timeline source you gave me said it first started appearing publicly in 1946 but I couldn't get a clear answer. Also, how to you make a gif? Aimmella12 (talk) 03:31, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
According to this Ukrainian Wikipedia article uk:Адміністративний_устрій_Київської_області, Kyiv became a city of republican subordination on April 4, 1937, though as far as I can tell it does not cite any source. Making gifs is quite easy. Name each frame in the numerical order you wish to have them played, and then upload them to a website like ezgif.com which will compile them into a gif.

The Ukrainian skirmish across the Dnipro seems pointless to add to the map cause the same was done on a peninsula next to it and failed. Can you make an update on the riverbank cause Russia still controls it despite this small skirmish. SCPdude629 (talk) 14:08, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
The Dnipro skirmishes are different from the Kinburn Spit it that geolocation has proved that Ukrainian forces occupied (at least temporarily) multiple islands south of Kherson and north of Oleshky; the skirmishes on the Kinburn Spit never resulted in a semi-permanent presence of Ukrainian forces on the peninsula. Most of these islands are not drawn on the Commons Ukraine map, so while it may appear that the map shows Ukraine occupying major positions on the opposite bank, it is just a representation of the delta islands shown to be controlled by Ukraine, at least temporarily. I've attached a diagram showing the location of one contested island on the map, though it is from a couple of months ago. Should it become clear that Russian forces reoccupied the islands, I will gladly remove the bridgehead.The contested delta island "Ostriv Velykyi Potomkin" is outlined in blackPhyseters✉21:29, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Can you add Klishchiivka and adjust the size of Opytne to a very small circle? Depending on what happens with the flanks Klishchiivka could potentially become contested or liberated. Aimmella12 (talk) 21:13, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
Since both you and @Rr016 have made major contributions with the maps, I wanted to see if you'll be interested in including the offensive in the map or if you're against it.
Hello @MateoFrayo! I'm not sure if adding the attack would in the scope of the file, but since most people seem to want it added, I would have no problem adding it to the file. However, we would need to come if with a way to differentiate the Ukrainian invasion of Belgorod from the rest of the map. Maybe with a different color? Physeters✉23:33, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
That's what we were thinking, but some argued that since the Legion and Corps were apart of the International Legion, the colors should remain the same. Personally, I'm fine with either—but it'll probably be best if you decide the color scheme. Maybe a lighter blue [#0095B7] or red [#B70B00]?
If it is a contentious issue, it would probably be better to get consensus for whether or not we should show it as a Ukrainian action before we add it. Physeters✉00:55, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Physeters, concerning your latest update of this map: Your changes of the front line markings indicate that there was an Russian advance north of Vasilyvka (south of Zaporizhzhia at the eastern bank of the Dipro). But you added a blue arrow which indicates an Ukrainian advance. Which of both is correct? -- Chaddy (talk) 20:44, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Since Russia technically dosen’t control 100% of the administrative boundaries of the city of Bakhmut, especially since last week when reports of a Ukrainian counterattack kicked the Russians out of the southwestern corner of the city, would that warrant the city to be marked as contested if that holds true as Russia doesn't fully control the administrative boundaries of Bakhmut?

Today, the ISW also updated the situation around Klishchiivka where the southwestern part of the village went from "assessed Russian controlled" to "claimed Russian controlled" along with a huge area near Andriivka. Would that make the settlement contested in your eyes (because I don't know if you view the Russian claimed control of areas as legit). Aimmella12 (talk) 22:10, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
I generally consider areas categorized under "claimed Russian control" as places where Ukraine still likely maintains control, though I judge it on a case by case basis. In this case, most other maps have already given the area to Ukraine, making Klishchiivka contested. I will update the map to reflect this shortly. Physeters✉00:07, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Physeters, I hope you're still doing well 🙂 I wanted to ask for your opinion whether the separate File:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine without arrows.svg should be kept or deleted? Since the main map no longer has arrows, it doesn't really have any defining characteristics anymore. Should it be deleted, or do you want to rebrand it as a map without the blue marking recaptured territory? Wanted to hear your thoughts, cheers! Johnson524 (talk) 23:45, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello @Johnson524, I am doing fine, and hope you are as well! The main map actually still has some small arrows, but most of them were removed as you noticed. I cleared them a couple of months ago per a request to make any new advances stand out. The no arrow map is actually quite out of date right now, but it could easily be brought back up to the present situation. I could rebrand it as a simplified map, removing non necessary elements such as the former frontlines, liberated territory, roads, etc. If not, it can probably be left as is & doesn't need to be deleted.
I feel silly for not seeing those arrows before now 😅 However you want to rebrand the map, if at all, is fine by me, and I look forward to seeing whatever you do with it! About the top five list, I have the utmost respect for how you present yourself in conversations with new and experienced editors, and all the work you do for many important maps, I feel it is the least I can do. Keep doing what you do, cheers! Johnson524 (talk) 02:48, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Its name I think was changed in 1998 from the RO Crimea to the ARO Crimea. Its government changed in 1995 but i’m honestly not sure. Aimmella12 (talk) 21:23, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Im not sure what is going on with the ISW, but every other source agrees that UA has full control of Robotyne with flags being flown in both the central and southern parts of the village indicating it has been taken. Aimmella12 (talk) 21:11, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
The ISW currently shows Ukraine controlling 90% of Robotyne. When the ISW is behind, we can use Wikipedia's detailed map as a source, which I have updated to mark Robotyne as liberated, based on other news reports. Therefore, using the detailed map as a source, I will update Robotyne as liberated later this evening. Physeters✉22:31, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Half done I have added to enemy pressure symbol to Kreminna. Unfortunately for Bakhmut, it seems that Russia controls small portions of territory inside the city limits, and that fighting is ongoing inside of the city, which fits the definition of contested. Physeters✉ 23:12, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
