Request: Please merge the two files listed above to a single SVG file please... - Jameson L. Tai ^{talk ♦ guestbook ♦ contribs} 16:12, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Anyone?!?!?? - Jameson L. Tai ^{talk ♦ guestbook ♦ contribs} 22:58, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're going to have a hard time finding anyone who will vectorize this (convert it to SVG) because the images are quite distorted due to the nature of embroidery. And most Wikipedians still won't vectorize because it's non-free (it's a copyrighted image). If you can find a better image, please let me know, but otherwise I can only wish you the best of luck.

Lithium levels

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 07:04, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Energy levels in lithium converging on the first ionization energy. Lowest three values of orbital angular momentum.

Article(s): Rydberg atom, Energy level

Request: This is an image that should definitely be an SVG and is probably trivial to convert. I created it in Mathematica version 6 which can export as SVG but does so in a way that seems to display incorrectly within Wikipedia. If it helps I could provide a file with the datapoints for the positions of the levels. DJIndica (talk) 03:40, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Can you upload the Mathematica SVG? It's probably easier (and more exact) to fix it then to convert the raster. /129.215.149.98 (talk) 11:49, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oxygas welding station

Stale

Oxygas welding station
Re-positioned the trolley so it's appear behind the welder, but the hoses clip is difficult to re-positioned because the table is so full (by Ivan Akira)

Article(s): Oxy-fuel welding and cutting

Request: Reason for Request: SAFETY.

This image should be edited to reflect that the oxy-fuel gasses should not be positioned next to the area to be worked on. The "trolley" should be positioned behind the welder, and the hoses/gasses should be positioned so that they may not come in contact with the flame, molten slag, and/or sparks that may occur during the welding/cutting process.

Thank you for considering this image for editing.

Original request by 75.4.13.204 (talk) 20:17, 21 December 2009 (UTC) reformatted by Certes (talk) 21:46, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a warning to the image's caption as an interim measure. You may wish to revert this edit when the request is complete. Certes (talk) 21:46, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): This would be a lot easier if we had access to the source file. It was obviously drawn in something like Illustrator, so the original author might still have it. --Slashme (talk) 08:34, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request taken by Ivan Akira.: Maybe I'm able to do this request, but It will take a long time because I'm quite busy right now. And if it done, does I should upload it over? Ivan Akira (talk) 23:37, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm re-upload the image to different name that is File:Oxygas welding station Fix.jpg, it's because when I'm already upload the correction at File:Oxygas welding station.jpg it's seems that the Wikimedia cache have some error, so the older version of File:Oxygas welding station.jpg is always previewed, so now I'm revert my upload and put the correction under new name.

Signature of Nicolaus Copernicus

Resolved

autotrace

Article(s): Nicolaus Copernicus

Request: Convert to a decent SVG version, not autotraced. Connormah (talk) 04:04, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Why no autotrace? Look at the file I created above. Is that ok? Not exactly sure why SVG was needed here in the first place, but I guess that is another issue. -Andrew c ^[talk] 16:10, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind,. it looks good. It's just that some autotraces round too many corners..etc. Connormah (talk) 17:31, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't that what we want? It's scratchy and some smoothing would benefit. Zoo Fari 20:41, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I must admit I'm at a loss to understand why anyone would want to replace a perfectly good 4 kB PNG with a 28 kB SVG (which gets delivered as a 13 kB PNG to the client at that size anyway). --RexxS (talk) 02:22, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with RexxS. You are not really gaining anything with the signature being scalable. The source is the PNG, so there is no way that the SVG can have any more accurate detail than the PNG. It is also an approximate autotrace, so that the SVG product is already an inexact copy of the original. We may give the illusion that the SVG has more detail/information because you can zoom in. But what you are zooming in on isn't any accurate information not already contained in the PNG. RexxS's point about size and thus bandwidth is also very pertinent. SVG is great for things that actually need to be scalable that are vector based to begin with (a linedrawing of a signature, I'd argue, isn't vector based). SVG is also good for things that need to be editable by other users, such as labels, graphs, diagrams, charts, captions, schematics, etc. I don't see how SVG would be preferred in the case of someone's signature, as not only would I argue that the content is raster based to begin with, but also I do not see the benefits of ediability/scalability showing in a depiction of someone's signature. Anyway, my 2 cents. Sorry for the rant ;) -Andrew c ^[talk] 16:15, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would also make the point that a trace of a persons signature no longer amounts to a facsimile of their signature. In effect, it is a forgery. I think that this should practice should be stopped as a bad principle, even if the result does look acceptable. There seems to have been a large number of these done already. I further think that these should be reverted. Does anybody here have a list of them? SpinningSpark 10:08, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure we want to revert them just yet. They are fine, in my opinion. In reference to the article for forgery, it is 'Forgery is the process of making, adapting, or imitating objects, statistics, or documents (see false document), with the intent to deceive.' I don't think we are attempting to deceive, and they are clearly all in good faith. Connormah (talk) 14:33, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We have debated the principle of converting signatures before but never reached a consensus. I admit to creating File:Pat Nixon Signature.svg from the grainy File:Pat Nixon Signature.jpg. The article now looks prettier, but I'd not object if someone reverted the change. Certes (talk) 14:19, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts

Resolved

Article(s): World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts

Request: I'm really stumped here. Usually I'm at the Graphic Lab to fulfill requests, not to bring up new ones. Anyway, File:World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.svg is in the Images for Cleanup category because the "colors should match File:World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts flag.png." So, I opened up my trusty Adobe Illustrator, eyedropped the correct colors in, and re-uploaded the file. When I refreshed the page for the image (.svg), the colors remained incorrect. Clicking on the image to open in Firefox showed the same problem. Interestingly, when opening it as a PNG (the links at "This image rendered as PNG in other sizes: 200px, 500px, 1000px, 2000px"), the colors are correct at 500px and 2000px (see example here) but not at 200px or 1000px (see example here)! Anyone have any idea of what's going on? Thanks in advance. Mononomic (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I think it's already done by yourself, I checked all your image that you pointed and see that the colors are all corrects, I don't see a problem here... Maybe it's just caching issue in Wikimedia server? Ivan Akira (talk) 23:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Huh. Works for me, then. Mononomic (talk) 01:56, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Korean Broadcasting System.svg at Chinese Wikipedia

Resolved

Request: Can you transfer File:Korean Broadcasting System.svg at the Chinese Wikipedia to Commons? ~~And also, can you make a separate image without the "KBS" letters?~~ JSH-alive ^{talk • cont • mail} 17:28, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

We cannot transfer the image to the Commons because it appears to be a copyrighted logo. The Commons does not accept non-free content. It would have to be uploaded locally here on en.wiki, and given a proper fair use rationale and copyright tag (the default non-free logo text should work though). Do you need help from a graphist doing that, or can you do it yourself? (click on image, hit "save as", then upload it to en.wiki, etc. you could use File:KBS.png as a guide for the FUR and tag) -Andrew c ^[talk] 15:37, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As to part 2 of your request, regarding "a separate image without the "KBS" letters", what purpose would that image serve? Non-free content is severely limited, and I don't see why we would need 2 different logos of the same entity. But if you explained your intended purpose more, and if it fits the NFCC, we could consider your 2nd request further. -Andrew c ^[talk] 15:39, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- OK. ~~I need the 'circle' logo to put it on a section on the corporate logo at the ko:한국방송공사 article.~~ Oh, can I order an image simply with "KBS" letters to make it sure being free from copyright? -- JSH-alive ^{talk • cont • mail} 14:27, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, KBS by itself, just the letters with no graphical information, would be PD-text. I can create that image and upload it to the commons. I can also easily make the other image, but I don't know where to upload it because it would be non-free. I can't upload it to en.wiki because all non-free images must have rationales and be used in articles. I would upload it to ko.wiki, but I don't read Korean and I'm concerned I couldn't navigate their upload pages, and I am not familiar with their non-free content policies or how to tag the image in Korean and such. -Andrew c ^[talk] 16:28, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, see the image I added here File:Korean Broadcasting System-text only.svg. -Andrew c ^[talk] 16:32, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All right. Can you copy zh:File:Korean Broadcasting System.svg to English ~~and Korean~~ Wikipedia? ~~(The Korean upload page is here) If you still can't read Korean, call me.~~ -- JSH-alive ^{talk • cont • mail} 15:32, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed 500 medal

Article(s): Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of DYKs

Request: These medals have been awarded to Wikipedians who have achieved a milestone number of Did you know (DYK) entries. Per this RfC, the DYK project wishes to have separate awards for DYK Nominations and DYK Creations and Expansions. This request is for an illustrator to devise a raft of new awards visibly different from the ones shown in the gallery above, to differentiate not only between DYK Nominations and DYK Creations/Expansions, but between the old combined system and the new separate system.

Requested images could be named something like the following:

File:Dyk25CE.png – Award for 25 DYK creations and expansions
File:Dyk50CE.png – Award for 50 DYK creations and expansions
File:Dyk100CE.png – Award for 100 DYK creations and expansions

Graphist opinion(s):

How about these? I hope that the barnstars give a Wikipedia flavour, whilst the gold and silver variants reflect the extra effort and skill involved in creating or expanding an article rather than nominating an existing candidate. 1000CE is unlikely to be awarded, but I believe 1000N may be needed soon.

I do not feel, that the digital reproduction by User:Beao is accurate enough with regard to the dimensions, colour and placement of the lines of the inner text and therefore I decided to make an alternative version located at File:Royal Seal of Ryukyu Kingdom.svg. In my honest opinion the dimensions (width and height) should be equal (a square) and the four columns should be equal in width. Also, I strongly believe that more symmetry regarding the lines, that make up the text, should be present. Though I am not in a position to question whether I was able to recreate each of the signs properly. Froztbyte (talk) 00:39, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can we have a transparent image which, when used in salmon, lies over a blue background? I'm not sure how to do this without a fancy set of <div>s. Perhaps there's an option in the [[Image:Whatever.jpg|thumb|right|123px|My caption]] syntax: does anyone know what this feature is called or where the documentation is?

Done Luckily, I still had the transparent version lying around from when I made the background white. I uploaded the transparent version as File:Salmon 01 transparent.png and used that to fix the blue background version. However, there is unfortunately no way I know of customizing the background color of a transparent image in an article. (WP:Extended image syntax lists all functionality available). —Quibik (talk) 15:59, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AIS Schema

Resolved

Scheme of a typical AIS configuration
English version
Dutch version

Request: Is it possible to obtain an Engish and/or Dutch version of this scheme? --Stunteltje (talk) 10:30, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Request taken by Quibik.. I think I can work out the English translations, but you will definitely need to provide the captions in Dutch for me. —Quibik (talk) 13:11, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem at all. My technical French is insufficient, that's why. --Stunteltje (talk) 13:15, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm almost done with the English translation. I'm not sure how to translate loch however. It seems to translate to chip log, but I'm not sure that's appropriate. Could you help me out? —Quibik (talk) 13:33, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is. In Dutch just "log". It records the distance over water, as the AIS records the distance over the ground. The difference can be of importance for sailors. --Stunteltje (talk) 14:22, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The English version is now available. It still needs some tweaking in text layout due to MediaWiki's annoying text bugs. You are encouraged to verify, that all the translations are correct. I'll make a Dutch version, as soon as you provide the translations. —Quibik (talk) 15:57, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much indeed for your help.

I think "Computer operator" has to be just "Computer" or "PC", also in Dutch "Computer" or "PC", as there is no operator involved
"antenna" is in Dutch spelled "antenne"
"Chip log" is in Dutch "Scheepslog"
"Gyro compass" is in Dutch "Gyro kompas"
"Power supply" is in Dutch "Voeding"

Rest is identical. --Stunteltje (talk) 16:13, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Converter"? —Quibik (talk) 16:53, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We use the word in Dutch too, more in electronics. There is also another Dutch word: "Omvormer". Unfortunately "omvormer" is also used for electrical machines with an electric motor and a generator. In my Dutch feeling is an "omvormer" a piece of equipment with rotating elements and a "converter" an electronic device. --Stunteltje (talk) 17:17, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thanks, both versions should now be complete. —Quibik (talk) 17:50, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now the Dutch version is used in nl version of Automatic Identification System. Tanks for your speedy help. --Stunteltje (talk) 19:34, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was working on the request at the time Beao uploaded his/her version. Mine has been cleaned much more heavily, so I decided to upload it as an alternative option. —Quibik (talk) 19:33, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, this is difficult, I love Quibik's work but I don't want Beao work to be deleted either. Is it possible to merge both files? For the time being will use Quibik's work for the above article. Anyway, great job to the both of you. Arteyu ? _{Blame it on me !} 22:35, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
