Thanks for your Potter Valley Project map

Just a quick note to say that your map of the Potter Valley Project in northern California is wonderfully clear and quickly communicates what this water transfer project does. Thanks for all your work! Rupert Clayton (talk) 17:19, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Software used for Salton Sea drainage map

I saw commons:File:Saltonseadrainagemap.jpg recently. I like it, and it was very useful. I vaguely recall seeing maps with the same design in my school textbooks. What software did you use to make it? Enterprisey (talk!) 22:35, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

File:Ob river basin map.png

Hello Shannon1,

The river passing Tyumen is Tura, but on this map it's labelled Tavda. Could you fix it? --Yelets (talk) 01:59, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Thank you!

I used a section of your map of the Missouri River as an illustration on an article about an American slave trader (John R. White) who was known to use steamboats to transport enslaved people from central Missouri to New Orleans for resale. Thank you for creating such a beautiful and informative visual. jengod (talk) 17:12, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Crystal River, Colorado Map

Hello @Shannon1,

I'm writing to ask for more details on how you created the Map of the Roaring Fork River drainage basin in western Colorado as seen on the Crystal River Colorado page. My family lives in Marble, Colorado and I am contributing to a forthcoming guide book that maps and details wildflowers of the Crystal River Valley.

I want to create a custom map of the Crystal River, key towns, and drainages. Would you be willing to share the software you used to create your map and source data in hopes that I might be able to create a similar version focused on the Crystal River (vs wider Roaring Fork)? Alternatively, I'm interested in commissioning the creation of this map so please let me know if that is something you would be interested in helping with—the style and detail of your maps is exactly what we're looking to include in the guide book.

Thank you so much for considering! Staplen (talk) 02:44, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Happy to help you! I create my maps with QGIS, which is free open source GIS software. I'm not sure how familiar you are working with GIS layers, but these are my data sources. NASA's SRTM layer for topography (download link) and the National Hydrography Dataset (downloadable through USGS National Map). Labels can be added with Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator or really any image editing software.

I can also definitely create the map for a small commission; if you're interested you can leave your email so we can discuss the terms. Shannon [ Talk ] 18:26, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Skykomish River Map Use Question

Hello, I'm writing a guidebook for rock climbing in Index Washington and have written a short page about the Skykomish River, which runs right by the rock climbing area. I'm wondering if I might be able to use the map you made in my book. Sorry if this is not the right way to ask. Hubbbenj (talk) 06:26, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes feel free to use it. All files on Wikimedia Commons are licensed for commercial use. If you would like to commission a more detailed map I would also be happy to discuss that with you. Cheers, Shannon [ Talk ] 01:39, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Overhaul of California High-Speed Rail

Hi Shannon1! I noted that you have been making occasional edits to California High-Speed Rail. That article is in need of a general overhaul, as it has been growing in a somewhat uncontrolled manner during the past 2 or 3 years. I made some high-level suggestions in the discussion: Talk:California_High-Speed_Rail#Clean-up_and_Harmonisation.

I'd like to ask if you would be interested in forming a team to give it a proper scrub. The article is not mainly about Californian rivers, but the project does cross quite a few along the right-of-way! I am quite new to doing serious edits on Wikipedia and am keen to take on the rewrite, but for the sake of the project, I should not be doing it by myself.

DYK for San Rafael Falls

On 19 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article San Rafael Falls, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that San Rafael Falls, once Ecuador's largest waterfall, was swallowed by a sinkhole in February 2020 and no longer exists? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/San Rafael Falls. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, San Rafael Falls), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

	Hey, I hadn't actually realized you had made those maps—more importantly, I was looking again and realized you've seriously done a lot for the site, as well as gotten me playing around with GIS and GMT again. Thanks for all the good work, and for your patience with the likes of me not quite understanding things at first. ⼮⼮⼮ Remsense诉 09:59, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I realize my perspective may have been a little influenced by it, but I really am interested in providing the best possible coverage on rivers. And if there's anything I can do to improve those maps, don't hesitate to ask. Shannon [ Talk ] 18:21, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Map file needing update

Hi! With the service changes being implemented today on the Los Angeles Metro Rail's C and K lines, do you think as its creator if you can help update File:Los Angeles Green Line route.png to reflect them?
