Map in PNG
editHello Maketrad, I answered your questions on Commons.
I don't think it's a good idea to create maps in PNG format as you did, they have a good chance of being erased or replaced because they have a poor quality, especially when they are enlarged, because nobody will see correctly small countries or islands, this problem doesn't happen with SVG files. Try to create the same map in SVG format before your work is replaced. Good luck! Allice Hunter (talk) 20:50, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- Response: Thank you, Allice, I figured out how to make an .svg file and am uploading it right now!

Have fun on Wikipedia! (talk) 03:51, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi, and thanks for creating the map showing changes in HDI values from 2017 to 2018 data. However, there seems to be an error in the legend as '+ .001' and its corresponding colour are repeated twice. Also, in the legend of the graph you added to List of countries by inequality-adjusted HDI, the lowest score (above 'Data unavailable') is given as '0.350–0.549 (low)', but there are 25 countries with an IDHI score below 0.350. You might want to change it to 0.200–0.549 or ≤ 0.549. JACKINTHEBOX • TALK 01:42, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
- Also, I had initially updated the changes in ranks and HDI values by directly comparing the 2019 and 2018 HDI report – this seems to be erroneous. Could you tell me how the changes in ranks and HDI values from 2017 to 2018 data are actually calculated, and where this information comes from? It seems to come solely from the 2019 HDI Report. JACKINTHEBOX • TALK 01:46, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hello, thank you! You want to go page 304, just below the normal report, in the PDF file. This contains all of the readjusted stats as of 2019 report since they get updated with new statistics every year (e.g. until this year Afghanistan had no data before 2003, now it goes all the way back to 1990). As for the rest I will make sure to fix it soon, I can't currently but thank you for notifying!
- Hi Maketrad, the caption of the map you added under the 'Methodology' section in the above article is still erroneous. Hope you could correct it sometime soon. Cheers, JACKINTHEBOX • TALK 03:30, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- P.S. Happy New Year!
