I was on the Wikipedia page titled COVID-19 pandemic in Florida when I noticed that the map they had showing this exact thing was just... bad. It was blurry, the borders were sloppily drawn and overlapping in placed... it was just bad quality. So I remade it from scratch (coast and counties included) on Inkscape and replaced it on the wiki page. This is the first time I edit a wiki page to actually make a change :coldsweat: Anyway, the map that was originally in the wiki page can be seen below in the spoilers, if anyone is interested.

Love this! We need a thread where people point out Wikipedia maps that need improvement or articles that need maps.

You know, when I think about this, many Wikipedia articles suffer from bad maps, especially historical ones, where most of them are made in the late 2000s. We should indeed have a collaborative thread where we try to find bad maps on Wikipedia and try to remake and fix them. I know there's multiple MS paint maps in African Kingdom pages, comic sans on several Native American pages, etc.

Wikipedia Maps that Need Updating

So, as said by a few people in Map Thread XIX, we need a thread for bad Wikipedia maps and our attempts to fix them. Here's that thread, just for you. :)

Looks good. I would of included province of Guiana on South American continent. Plus Bahamas and Turks as another. Belize and Bermuda. Plus the Ascension Island providing better link to Falklands (speaking of which it would also include the rest of British south Atlantic islands
