Hello again,

I would like to be able to write all the words in English. Except the place names don't matter as they are the same except İstanbul is Istanbul without a dot in English, but I wonder if they could/should be Wikilinks?
 
If anyone is kind enough to take this on let me know before you start as it might also be nice to Turkify the symbols if {{User|Berkaysnklf}} agrees.

Hi [[User:Bogazicili|Bogazicili]] I'm pretty sure that map is a screenshot of a map found online, and so it has some copyright issues. However, it's easy enough to put up something based on [[:File:BlankMap-World.svg]]. Would that work? [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 13:05, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

::::{{u|Chipmunkdavis}}, this looks great! Thanks! Do you think we should also put the scale within the image rather than in the legend?

:::All these England maps appear to trace back to [[:File:English administrative divisions 2010.svg]]. The main issue is these maps have Northamptonshire as one joint authority.

;Request:
:Currently the section describing the battle,  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Marathon#Battle, has one map (Persians in red, Greeks in blue) that tries to show all of the phases of this battle.  As you can see it is complicated and, I think, makes it hard to understand what happened there.  
:It also contains a major error.  The article specifically states that Persian cavalry were “not engaged”, yet the map shows two Persian cavalry units right in the middle of the struggle.
:I would like to create a series of simple maps, that would accompany the text, and that will illustrate each of the five or so phases of this battle. As a possible starting point, I have a to-scale drawing, based on a current map of the Marathon battle site, that shows what I am thinking of.
