Request: Needs to be vectorized, as this suffers from lossy compression artifacts. Connormah (talk) 01:13, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: A simple web search found this. You could save that image, make it smaller, then upload it over the one you have issues with. I'd be glad to do it for you if you don't have software to resize the image. If we have another better quality image from an official source, and the image is non-free, I'm not sure we even need an SVG since this new image I found does not suffer from the artifacts. We could also make it black and white if you prefer, but the color doesn't seem problematic to me either. What do you think about that?-Andrew c ^[talk] 15:20, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Meson octet spin 0
Mesons nonet spin 1

Article(s): See images

Request: Alright, this is a bit complicated to explain.

Image on the left:

In the middle, there should be a third particle. Currently there is a neutral pion ( $\pi ^{0}$ ) and an eta meson ( $\eta$ ), but there should also be an eta prime meson ( $\eta ^{\prime }$ ). If possible, the three particles should be right under the middle circle, rather than next to it.
$I_{3}$ should be $I_{z}$
Upload the result as "UDS Meson nonet spin 0"

Image on the right:

Should look similar to the image on the left after modifications, but with

$\pi ^{0}$ <--> $\rho ^{0}$
$\pi ^{+}$ <--> $\rho ^{+}$
$\pi ^{-}$ <--> $\rho ^{-}$
$K^{0}$ <--> $K^{*0}$
${\bar {K}}^{0}$ <--> ${\bar {K}}^{*0}$
$K^{+}$ <--> $K^{*+}$
$K^{-}$ <--> $K^{*-}$
$\eta$ <--> $\omega$
$\eta ^{\prime }$ <--> $\phi$

Aligning the equations' elements together (aka, p, F, F should be aligned together on the left, the equal signs should be aligned together, and on the right, m, dotted P and F aligned together) would improve the image IMO.

TeX isn't made to align things so? I thought that is what TeX is meant for.

My (BlueCaper's) new version for it

Article(s): WikiProject Koei Warriors Games

Request: Could you make a more detailed ".svg" version of it? Also, could there be like a black curve going off the tip of the sword in a 90° turn centered on the middle of the sword? (The black curve refers to the Koei Warriors Games' opening movies using black lines instead of blood.) Thank you! -BlueCaper (talk) 13:21, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't able to do the 90 degree curve. Also, I wasn't sure if you wanted it with the red background. Let me know if this is okay. Zoo Fari 03:25, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To be more correct, the W in the logo should be in the Garamond font instead of Times New Roman. The difference is that Garamond's W looks like two V's overlapping, while TNR has the W looking like the above SVG version (look at Wikipedia's logo, the W looks like two overlapping V's. Same with your red background logo). Let me know if you want the Garamond W, as I've got Garamond. [|Retro00064 | (talk/contribs) |] 23:42, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I used Paint.NET and public-domain Commons photography to create a .PNG version. I will use Inkscape to make it SVG. I will say something to the other WikiProject Koei Warriors Games members to see if they wish to use or build on your picture. I tried to figure out which font uses that extra serif on the "W," and I have Garamond, but I guess I just overlooked it. Thanks again! -BlueCaper (talk) 01:43, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking of a new map with the globe view. 83.108.234.37 (talk) 21:28, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean something like File:People's Republic of China (orthographic projection).svg but then for Iran? In my opinion such projection is more suited to large countries. I also don't see what would be gained over all the beautiful maps in commons:Atlas_of_Iran for instance. But maybe I misunderstand your request. bamse (talk) 22:32, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Iran is 1,648,195 km2 large, and Mexico which has a land area of 1,972,550 km2, have a map like that. Its just some larger. :-) Its also made one for the UK though not in use anymore. And I know its called globe view, but does it need to bee zoomed out that much? Just look at Mongolia (1,564,116 km2) that map is showing the whole world... Its the better looking design that is importat to improve the article. Sorry for my bad english :-) 83.108.234.37 (talk) 14:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I changed colors in the Mongolia map. Is that ok? There is/was also File:LocationIran.svg. A map in orthographic projection (globe view) — which is not just a zoomed-in version — with Iran in the center would require creating a completely new map and possibly vectorize it (to make it svg). I don't really feel the need for such map. Maybe some other graphist would go for it. bamse (talk) 15:31, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I talked to user Ssolbergj who makes those types of maps. He seemd to be busy at the time I talked to him. But the File:LocationIran.svg looks good, can't you attatch that in the Iran article? Im not sure how to. 83.108.234.37 (talk) 16:04, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bump, but I feel this NEEDS to be done...Connormah (talk) 23:59, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And I'll put my opinion again. This map does not offer enough detail to do a proper vectorization. Yes, the colors can be changed... but this map has such little detail that a vector will be just as completely inaccurate. You might want to try finding more precise information and sources of any sort to substantiate these boundaries and help create a better map. gren グレン 01:12, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

I've had a look at this one, and due to the extremely small size, and the very inaccurate and unorthodox projection of the map, it will be impossible to transfer the data with any sensible degree of accuracy to SVG. With better data, an SVG can be made, especially if the projection is similar to an existing map of North America such as this one, or similar.

This map will be useful to show the census area before Skagway was split away, but could separate maps be created showing just Skagway and just Hoonah-Angoon? Skagway is the farthest north of the various little bits of red. And while you're at it, could you create another one? Until the 1990s, Yakutat (see map here) was also part of the census area (then "Skagway-Yakutat-Angoon Census Area"), so it would be helpful if you could create a map that highlights Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon and Yakutat. I'd do it myself, but I don't have a program that can edit .svg files. Nyttend (talk) 19:13, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request: SVGify, prettify. (possibly semi-transparency would make it easier to see with multiple colors on top of each other? But, the main goal is to translate the chart here into something similar to the image above. Can do for US or Europe or both. gren グレン 23:57, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Created both US and UK versions using non-blank sizes from the provided table. Just SVG rectangles of the appropriate sizes, with origin 0,0 (in Inkscape coordinates), dimensions in cm for UK, inches for US. I've done them all as black with partial transparency, because that seemed to give the best "colours". gringer (talk) 06:21, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. I agree with you that using colors like the other diagram did wouldn't have been good and they could look better but I have no idea how to design them. Only thing is if you could maybe double or triple their default size... mainly because the |thumb| parameter won't set to the user's default size because they're too small and it doesn't scale up. It would also make the default PNG preview more meaningful. gren グレン 00:53, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Added outer scaling on the image to make the nominal height of the SVG files around 600px. That way the rectangles will still have the correct dimensions. gringer (talk) 10:37, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If it's any help, the discussion that led to the creation of the original image is here; the old film reel image appears to have gone AWOL, while the star itself appears to be a modified version of the original barnstar. Ultimately I'd like to keep it close the the current version, so same silver colour, keep a shadow underneath the star etc. I'll have to leave the star to your graphist discretion. :) If it's not too much trouble to do a bit of photoshopping (or whatever) then great, if you know of a better star image we can use then that's fine too.

For non-free logos like this, it is usually easier (and better, IMO) to go straight to the source for these types of images, as it is hard to recreate 100% raster images in SVG format, and the amount of time put into these conversions has minimal pay off when non-free images can only be used on very few articles.

the example if what is desired: a detailed gold wreath frame (File:Vietnam gallantry cross unit award-3d.svg)

Article(s): Presidential Unit Citation (Vietnam), Presidential Unit Citation (Korea), Presidential Unit Citation (Philippines), hundreds of military biographies

Request: I was hoping for the same action as was taken with the previous request: clean up the gold frame to standardize them all and make them look more accurate (though obviously there is no palm to modify). File:Vietnam gallantry cross unit award-3d.svg has a nice detailed frame to use as an example. Vectorization of the images is preferred, because they are used on a large number of pages (probably thousands eventually), but modifying the .gif files would be acceptable as well. bahamut0013^words _deeds 07:23, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

There you go. Korea and Vietnam have well ordered layers, so you can change the background without touching the shading or frame. A layer for any decorations like the palm is given too. Inductiveload (talk) 15:04, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the compliment. As for overwriting, I believe I discussed this with you before (and it is what partially drove me away from helping out here). I do not overwrite originals, except in rare instances. Sorry. Is this that much of an issue? -Andrew c ^[talk] 01:21, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I would never intentionally drive you away, please don't think that. My concern, I think, is that when we have a clearly better image now available, the retention of one not as good seems cluttery. That's why the image pages have that capability. Withdrawing overwrite request. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 01:31, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No big deal. I mean, I totally see your point, and it makes sense. However, I'm not always a good judge of what is necessarily a better image. I mean, part of me honestly thinks that either the original uploader, or maybe someone else, could find some use in the original image, even if it is taken at an angle. I mean, I just over think things. I will consider overwriting images more in the future, for sure, but I still am reluctant to do it for drastic changes.-Andrew c ^[talk] 01:57, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request: I wanted to see if someone could fix the map above, which I created, but doesn't look good at all (I swear the arrow heads pointed in the right direction when I uploaded it!). If you feel the font needs to be changed(or anything else really), feel free. I'd also like to see an SVG version of the seal.

Graphist opinion:

I've put circle terminators on, I think they are a little clearer, as they don't overlap any lines like arrows would. I've also removed a lot of underlying lines that were present, made all areas seperately colourable and added a gentle fill to highlight the area slightly.

There appears to be a vectorized B&W logo at the top of here. Maybe someone could extract it. How important is having a color version?-Andrew c ^[talk] 02:36, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I would use the small color version over the BW svg. Sorry. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 02:40, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - It is probably much easier for someone to use the already vectorized B&W logo and simply add color to it, than it would be for someone to redraw the seal from scratch. And for requests dealing with non-free content a) it is almost always best to get the content from official sources and b) because the resulting image will not be free and will be very limited on how it can be used on wikipedia, the amount of effort put into non-free requests is often minimal. -Andrew c ^[talk] 02:48, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

How is this any different from Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Image workshop#Canadian Loonie? Please don't repost requests, but instead, why not try to respond to the original request? You do not state the purpose for these images, nor what article they will go in. You are also requesting SVG work on a non-free image. Since non-free images have very limited use, and the amount of work required into recreating such an image in SVG format is high, they pay off is generally not worth it, so I'm not sure there would be anyone willing to do this request, especially given there is no stated purpose or article for such a conversion.

The quality of this image was fine for me to vectorise. It just needed a bit of cleaning up in GIMP first. gringer (talk) 00:38, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The pen line near the 'g' is too bold, and therefore prevents you from seeing the exact way the signature was drawn. [|Retro00064 | (talk/contribs) |] 08:01, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This should have a hand-trace instead of what appears to be an automatic one. The top of the G is very distorted. §hep ^Talk 08:55, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've cleaned up the G after having another look at the signature. The SVG was generated via a mixture of hand and automatic tracing — because I don't sign as Morgan Tsvangirai all the time, I'm not quite sure about how he signs his name and so had a different idea about how the G was done. gringer (talk) 01:55, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
