Lunar phases
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/ba/Red_x.svg/20px-Red_x.svg.png)
Article(s): Lunar phase
Request: The Lunar-Phase-Diagram.png image needs to altered; the phases of the moon need to be shown in a manner like the Moon phases.jpg /Phases_of_the_Moon.png image; eg in that the moons need to be colored white/black; depending on their phase. Also, arrows in a circle need to be added, similar like the Moon phases.jpg image
The Moon phases.jpg image itself needs svg'ing
Both images need to be maintained as they both have distinct characteristics; the Moon phases.jpg image eg also shows the formation of tides (the "blue" around the earth), and the Phases_of_the_Moon.png image also shows the timing. KVDP (talk) 09:22, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):I am a bit confused about your description. Which two images do you refer to when you say 'Both images need to be maintained'? The two shown here (Lunar-Phase-Diagram.png and Moon phases.jpg)? -->yes these two need to be kept in the database; as in "not deleted from database" (however do change them; see below)
And why do you mention the tides in The Moon phases.jpg (not shown here). -->sorry bout this, made another image with tides aswell, quite similar to this one. Offcourse in these images no tides are indicated. However, it still has other charisteristics as the timing is indicated. If I understood correctly, this picture should not be changed but used as a source for the moons at the different stages. Is that correct?! -->No; the picture does need to be changed, but 2 (somewhat identical images) need to come in place under the same name. Perhaps that your first try may be improved and then used to overwrite the first file. The other file can be overwritten with an improved version of that image. Reason for this is that I don't like too many (similar) files in the wikimedia commons; this leads to having a quantity of poorer quality images being used/linked to wikipedia.
On a general note, I would suggest to create a high-res png (or jpg) instead of a svg. Both the earth and the moon pictures are not very suitable for svging without loosing too much detail. -->no arguments here
SPLETTE :] How's my driving? 19:16, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I gave it a try. The rotating arrows are still missing. Did I get it right? What needs to be changed?
-->Aldough I didn't mention it at first, I think it's best to swap the yellow arrows with simply the sun; place it at the left; also, change the moons, as noted before they have to be white/black; different with every phase SPLETTE :] How's my driving? 01:25, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- Ack, the new diagram and drawing are very confusing and misleading. You are trying to accomplish two different things with the new diagram at once (which cannot both be done simultaneously) - showing what the phases look like from the earth (instead of from an outside vantage point like the original), and showing the phases relation to the earth and sun. This needs to be divided into two separate diagrams - one showing what all the phases look like from the earth (and thus not including the earth in the diagram), and one showing the phases, the earth, and the sun as actually viewed from a distant vantage point (not earth). The 2nd diagram would be similar to File:Lunar-Phase-Diagram.png. Kaldari (talk) 19:11, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
File:Third party cookie.png doesn't render in Firefox, server version not legible

Article(s): HTTP cookie
Request: The server-rendered version of this image is rather too small to read, and some of the text at the bottom is cut off. Clicking through to the SVG version to see a larger version (e.g., at this URL) fails to render in Firefox 3.0.15 on Ubuntu 9.04 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009102815 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.15):

I haven't looked into what the SVG format problem might be. It would be nice if the SVG were rendered compatible with Firefox, and/or the server-rendered version were legible. -- JTN (talk) 17:02, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
Request taken by Certes.
New version uploaded. 99% of the SVG is embedded JPGs which use xlink without defining it. I've added the standard definition
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
That works on Firefox 3.5.5 on Windows XP. Can you check it with another renderer (such as Firefox 3.0.15 on Ubuntu) please? The text looks ok in Firefox; the cropping appears to be a separate server rendering problem which I've not addressed. Certes (talk) 23:14, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Request: I know it is fairuse, but can someone make a vector version of this? The quality is atrocious, and I think we'd benefit from a vector version. You can use this image for a ref, too. Thank you so much in advance. Connormah (talk) 03:59, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

- This would be very difficult to do, it's not simple lines or shapes, it's basically a painting. There are some people at Commons that have done COA's of this caliber before but off top of my head I can't remember, it was a recent FP nomination I think.

Request: Convert to SVG MahangaTalk 18:46, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
Why?-Andrew c [talk] 01:48, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not sure. I'm no graphics person. I was told at WP:FAC to request it here. MahangaTalk 03:51, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- I see. Generally, since Wikipedia is the "free" encyclopedia, and because non-free content can only be used in very limited areas, not a lot of effort is put into improving non-free content (especially if the task is time consuming or difficult, which some SVG conversions can be). Often, it is better to simply try to find a better official image. This is for two reasons, first, it makes sure that the organization in question is being 100% represented the way they want to (often with SVG conversions, we can't be 100% identical, and we don't want to use a color, or font, or shape that the image creator never intended). The second reason is it is a lot easier on us (less work, obviously ;). That said, you may still find a graphist willing to fulfill this request. Personally, I wouldn't fail a FAC based solely on the quality/availability of non-free content (and it seems like the individual who made the remark has stricken the oppose). Hope this explains why I asked why. Handling non-free content, IMO, should have a good rational attached to it. -Andrew c [talk] 16:36, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- I was the one who made the request. Considering we are talking about an FA here, I think we should have high-quality images as well as text and research. Also, Wikipedia's image policy suggests that logos be converted to SVG. Awadewit (talk) 15:40, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
- I do agree with the request made. The image is of a poor quality, and I think we would benefit from a vector version. Connormah (talk) 22:41, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- But there isn't enough information present to make an SVG. What are those dots in the white circular bands? Stars? Maybe so, but are they pointing up, or down, or are they individually radially arranged? What about the even smaller dots surrounding the big central star? What are those? How many different color stars are on the flag? We cannot accurately recreate this flag because we don't have enough information to go on. Does anyone have any other pictures of this flag to help us out, or a written description or anything? Given the detail of this photo, any SVG made from it would be guesswork at best. Sorry. We can't work magic, or in this case, resolve detail out of blurry dots. (BTW, I agree completely that the image is in poor quality, and we could benefit from a vector version. But perhaps we should be seeking out official sources for this image, or at least higher quality images to start). -Andrew c [talk] 01:35, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
- Exactly. I don't think anyone would want to go through the headache process of re-drawing the whole image from the current given source. Connormah (talk) 22:46, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Request: Convert to a vector graphic. –blurpeace (talk) 03:06, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
- Why? Non-free content really isn't the focus or mission of Wikipedia, and it's almost always better to use content sourced from an official source, as opposed to sloppy, reconstructed traces. We normally need a good rationale for non-free work. -Andrew c [talk] 16:36, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

- Sorry, started vectorizing without request taking notice. --Justass (talk) 04:06, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
- NP. I've upped my version as well, haven't added text yet though. A warning about the jpg is that the Microsoft icons are probably non free, so don't base car, bus, train on them. /Lokal_Profil 13:04, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
- Found an image which precedes both of ours (and the request here) thus teaching all of us the worth of looking before asking/looking before doing/categorising and linking to vector versions from the original =) /Lokal_Profil 13:07, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

- No worries. I think all four involved parties (me included) missed something. The preexisting image wasn't correctly categorised meaning I only found it by mistake.

Diagram of Cultural Properties of Japan

Article(s): National Treasures of Japan
Request: I am currently expanding the National Treasures of Japan article (see here). In order to grasp the various types of cultural properties and designations, a schematic diagram like this (page 34 upper diagram) or this (page 4) would be very helpful. It would be great if a graphist could create such diagram. The generic terms (tangible/intangible/folk cultural properties, monuments,...) should be distinguished (by color or so) from the designations (Important cultural properties, national treasures,...). It would be nice to have the top designations (national treasures , special historic site, special place of scenic beauty, special Natural Monuments) distinguished (by color or so) from the lower grade designations. If necessary for readability, the small texts explaining what is included in the categories could be skipped. bamse (talk) 18:18, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Request: Help! I got fed up at always requesting vector versions, so I tried to convert one of the brachial plexus, which really needed doing. Anyway I've just uploaded the shiny new vector version to the commons, but it isn't displaying 100% as I intended. Would it be possible for you to have a look at what I'm doing wrong? Thanks very much in advance, a very humble Captain n00dle T/C 01:28, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Gah! I just realised I missed out some labels too! :-/ Captain n00dle T/C 01:39, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
- The fonts are not web-safe. Use Verdana for the labels, and you can use Times for the title. ZooFari 01:46, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick reply, I just uploaded a new version without inkscape formatting but that didn't help, I shall now try changing the fonts. Do you know why the lines could be missing? Thanks, Captain n00dle T/C 01:56, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why. Change the opacity up to 100 percent for the red lines (and any other lines) and remove the slight blur from some of the lines. I don't think this will solve the issue though, but you can also try removing the round caps. Let me know if that's a solution. ZooFari 02:01, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Done Live tracing the original image was probably not the best way to go; it created a giant file with unnecessary detail, which kind of defeats the purpose of the SVG. I re-drew the diagram and made the labels smaller for a cleaner look; I also changed the fonts on the labels to "serif" and "sans-serif" for greatest compatibility. The file is now down to 26KB. I'm marking this as resolved. MissMJ (talk) 00:29, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Article(s): None but it's used in Wikipedia:Trading card game and Wikipedia:Trading card game/Userbox
Request: I created Trading card game.svg for use at 150px on the Trading card game project and at 40px in its userbox. I have been asked to "improve the cards": any suggestions? The grey circle is meant as a vague reminder of the Wikipedia logo, as my legal skills aren't up to reconciling the Foundation's copyright and trademark protection with Tango's CC-by-SA licence. Certes (talk) 01:21, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
- How about a puzzle piece instead of the circle? E.g. File:Puzzle.svg or similar. Makes a strong Wiki link without using copyrighted logos. Also using a more stylised W (such as File:Wikipedia-W-bold-in-square-Clean.svg would also make the link clearer. Like the idea though. /129.215.149.99 (talk) 11:09, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, that's the sort of idea I was looking for. Those graphics look much better on the cards. (I did attempt to use Traditional Arabic font for my original W but the SVGR renderer substituted something more mainstream.)

Oh, I am sorry to say that, but if you accidentally used the texture of copyrighted image, then your derived work it is not free now. I am afraid it will need to be done again and correctly. --Snek01 (talk) 10:23, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think it is a copyvio problem (then again, I am not an expert on the subject). I did use the texture from the pdf as a basis but have a close look at the two pics. Could you tell I did? All the scratches are gone. Some parts I had to recolor completely because they didn't match (like the 'bump' on the right). So, it wasn't just copy and paste. I used the texture as a start and then drew on top of it. I think if you would recolor it from scratch you would arrive pretty much at the same result (only that it'd take much longer). But well, you guys decide... SPLETTE :] How's my driving? 15:45, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

- I have uploaded a better processed trace. ZooFari 18:40, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

- Done. File:NBALogo.svg 19:06, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- Okey doke. ZooFari 19:09, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with Connormah. The one traced from the GIF is off. The ears are weird, the elbow is softer, the finger on the ball is all but missing, the the type has some weird curves. Please be more careful in the future, or better yet, find an official vector version for official logos. When we attempt to trace logos like this, we end up with bad knock-offs, that makes wikipedia seem unprofessional. Pet peeve of mine. Thanks for locating an official vector version!-Andrew c [talk] 16:20, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Menstrual Cycle
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fb/Yes_check.svg/20px-Yes_check.svg.png)
Article(s): Menstruation, Menstrual cycle, Basal body temperature, Luteal phase, Follicular phase
Request: This is a significant project which I hope someone will want to put some time into. Right now, our diagram of the menstrual cycle is embarrassingly poor. This is a very important diagram for an encyclopedia and we should have something better to use. Rather than list off all the problems with the current diagram, of which there are many, I'd like for the graphist to take a look at some other examples on the web which are far superior:
- The Holistic Care
- UCSB Sociology Department
- Answers.com
- Britannica
- Pearson Education
- Women to Women
- Nursing Crib
Since the diagrams above are all copyrighted, we can't simply copy them outright, but hopefully they will give some ideas and guidance for someone willing to create a new diagram. Also, I don't think we necessarily have to include all the information in one diagram. The graphist may want to consider splitting the project into multiple diagrams to reduce visual clutter. Kaldari (talk) 16:58, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
Hi, this is very interesting. I actually find it to be crucial that all of the charts are included in a single diagram, as the information is interdependent. Let me work on it for a bit. --Isometrik (talk) 19:19, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Here, I worked on the first version of it. I made it so that you can include it in the article with the height of 430px and it stays readable. Things that came up:
- i changed the traditional representation of uterial wall
- the corpus luteum is not yellow because i looked at a real photo on the web, and it wasn't
- i still am not sure about the body max and min temp. as it was inconsistent at different sources, can you provide me with that?
- please also proof read it all.
cheers Isometrik (talk) 23:40, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
- Wow, nice work. Could you perhaps make it more clear in the diagram what the labels "Follicula" and "Corpus Luteum" are referring to (or perhaps remove them). Kaldari (talk) 00:50, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- We done?--Isometrik (talk) 15:58, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- Looks good to me. Kaldari (talk) 16:12, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- One last thought. What do you think about removing the line above "Menses, Proliferative, Secretory"? It seems unnecessary to me. Kaldari (talk) 16:30, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- Hm, I tried doing that, and the words seem to title the uteruses above them, and besides the line reflects the DAYS line, confining the whole diagram into a defined time span, thus making it easier to read. I added word PHASES under UTERUS CYCLE so it's less ambiguous. I guess we done! --Isometrik (talk) 17:28, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, that seems even more confusing than before. I don't know whether to read it as "Uterial Cycle Phases" or "Uterial Cycle" and "Phases" separately. Both the phase names and the uterus illustrations correspond to the uterine cycle, correct? If so, I think we only need one label on the left side. In my opinion, the label should just be "Uterine Cycle". (Note "Uterine" rather than "Uterial".) Also, if you prefer to keep the line above the phase names, could you at least move the line up a bit so that it is halfway between the phase names and the illustrations. Otherwise it looks a bit boxy. Thanks for your work on this! Kaldari (talk) 17:47, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- How's it now?--Isometrik (talk) 18:28, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
