Hello. I am confused. I want to add borders of my local councilmanic district to a map of Los Angeles and post it to Wikipedia for use in an article. How do I do this? How do I get the map, and how do I draw the borders. I will copy the borders from a City of Los Angeles Web page and, I guess, draw them freehand on the map. Sincerely, your friend. |
