WikiProject COVID-19

[edit]

I've created WikiProject COVID-19 as a temporary or permanent WikiProject and invite editors to use this space for discussing ways to improve coverage of the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. Please bring your ideas to the project/talk page. Stay safe, --Another Believer (Talk) 17:44, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Map

[edit]

@LV1000: I'm not interested in edit wars, nor do I hate your map :) Only reason I gave was in the edit box "this version is raster". By that I meant Raster graphics vs Vector graphics, where for such cases like logos, maps, graphs etc. vector graphics are better (easily resized without artifacts/easier for people to edit/smaller file sizes). Often people use Inkscape, but there are other options.

The other consideration was "updated" - Pierīga changed, Vidzeme wasn't colourized (see here; archived from 7pm, no idea how it was when you uploaded it). Often people download the old file, update it and then upload it as a new version to the same page if it's a diagram or graphic and it has changed in time (example, see below file).

Anyways, I'd like to stay on good/neutral terms (as it was) and see another editor help in wikipedia, both English and Latvian. --silraks (talk) 22:38, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The image should definitely be SVG so we can update it in the future for an ongoing event. JPGs/PNG are really not suitable for this, even if someone uploads a slightly newer version. So I concur with above. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 19:07, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Latvia medical cases

[edit]

Do we want to keep using {{COVID-19 pandemic data/Latvia medical cases}}? It's not been updated since May and I don't think anyone has the enthusiasm to do so. Given we are in the second year of these statistics, that's already more than 400 rows for the table and will likely be 2 years of numbers. It seems extremely cumbersome when we have much more compact charts and {{COVID-19 pandemic data/Latvia medical cases chart}} graphs. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 11:40, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
