Article(s): Romeo and Juliet
Request: At the Romeo and Juliet featured article candidature I commented that many of the images needed nice crops, cleaning. I have listed above the ones I thought were most obvious that someone could help with but feel free to look at the article if you think you can help with others. My 'comments' are vague because I am not good at this... but all of the images I paste I think could be cleaned up somewhat to make this a better FAC.
It may be a good idea to upload as different, restored images and then comment on the FAC or change them yourselves rather than overwriting these images. gren グレン 12:45, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: I apologize in advance if this seems a little harsh but honestly, these images are not going to be improved with sharpening. There is simply not enough detail there to sharpen. You need to retake the images with better lighting, focus (get the wings to lie along the focal plane) and more depth of field.

- Dear Ssolbergj, your map of China colors Arunachal Pradesh in light green (together with Taiwan)which implies it is somehow rather a part of CHina although under Indian administration. Why then doesn't the India map have Aksai Chin (a Chinese administered region claimed by India) be colored light green on the India map? Same goes with Pakistan occupied kashmir. Shouldn't those areas be in light green too? Please maintain neutrality as prescribed under Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. I look forward to you recoloring those maps with a NPOV in mind and not China slanted views. (Reference: [2] vs [3]. Thank you.
Can someone please sort this out and draw the right borders? I'm lost. :( -

Request: Do you have any advice for how to make the colour of photos taken from aircraft windows look a little less "whited-out"? My adjustments using curves are a bit of an improvement on the original, but there must be a better way. I'd like to know exactly what tools you use to get the best results.

Graphist opinion: I modified the first one a bit with Google's Picasa 3. I uploaded it over the original to save space, feel free to revert. I'm not sure if I'd call these the best results, considering I only tweaked only one of the defaults, but I think it's an improvement. My only problem was I couldn't tell if the earth was supposed to be that brown or not. If you'd like to see it, I have the image tweaked in the Windows Live software that comes with Vista, too. Although it's a bit dark (again just the defaults). I hope you find Picasa useful. We have a page here that has some other recommended software. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 07:09, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Request: hi, i was wondering if anyone here would be interested in creating a simple SVG image. I'm terrible at making them. After not really getting any help by leaving messages to users on Wikipedia, i ended up here.
So the image i'm looking for is very simple. I'm looking to get a black flag, with a white circle in the middle of it. It doesn't really get any more than that - its supposed to be similar to Image:TUGS Flag.svg. The image is shown in the top of this image, as well as the far left of here and middle right of here. I understand its hard to see but if anyone could help me even the tiniest bit that would be amazing :D
I figured it should be around the scale of normal flags, i think its 4.5:3? that may not be true. The image is to be used on Template:TUGS as well as a userbox along the same lines as that, which i've not yet made.
Again, if anyone could help me, that would be amazing. I'll keep an eye on the page, I've got my talk page as well if anyone feels the need :) -- SteelersFanUK06 ReplyOnMine! 23:58, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): Coat of arms of Ireland
Request: The Coat of arms of Ireland seems to be an odd shape. Could somebody change it to the standard shape (see image 2), and add a black border (which also seems to be standard)? Thank you! Cameron * 21:20, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I don't think there is a "standard" shape for coats of arms. I think, (but I am not sure) that this shape is ment to match the historical shape. It seems to match up with the only other source for it that i could find. ----- J.S ( T/ C/ WRE) 21:50, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
There are various shapes of shield (see Escutcheon (heraldry), but on most it doesn’t matter. The only government link seems to be here (the Irish embassy in Argentina of all places!) and that shows the same shape. Unless it is evidence of a specific shape, then usually the creator of the image has free reign. As for the black line, I really don’t think it matters. Unless it is defined in the blazon (formal description) of the arms, it is the opinion of the once again the graphic's creator as to whether to add a boarder or not. The representation of a coat of arms is really up to interpretation of the blazon, for example all of these show three yellow lions on a red field (the arms of England), but all do it differently.
Therefore it is probably best to stick to the status quo. By the way, apologies for the lesson. You asked for someone with knowledge, but I can get rather longwinded on the subject!- 23230 talk 17:56, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

- Hi sorry, I missed out on your reply: Please see Image:India-locator-map-blank.svg. It explains the scenario very well. Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh are the disputed areas. Nichalp ( talk) 19:55, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- Dear Ssolbergj, your map of China colors Arunachal Pradesh in light green (together with Taiwan)which implies it is somehow rather a part of CHina although under Indian administration. Why then doesn't the India map have Aksai Chin (a Chinese administered region claimed by India) be colored light green on the India map? Same goes with Pakistan occupied kashmir. Shouldn't those areas be in light green too? Please maintain neutrality as prescribed under Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. I look forward to you recoloring those maps with a NPOV in mind and not China slanted views. (Reference: [2] vs [3]. Thank you.
Can someone please sort this out and draw the right borders? I'm lost. :( -

Request: Do you have any advice for how to make the colour of photos taken from aircraft windows look a little less "whited-out"? My adjustments using curves are a bit of an improvement on the original, but there must be a better way. I'd like to know exactly what tools you use to get the best results. Cheers Gobeirne ( talk) 06:49, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I modified the first one a bit with Google's Picasa 3. I uploaded it over the original to save space, feel free to revert. I'm not sure if I'd call these the best results, considering I only tweaked only one of the defaults, but I think it's an improvement. My only problem was I couldn't tell if the earth was supposed to be that brown or not. If you'd like to see it, I have the image tweaked in the Windows Live software that comes with Vista, too. Although it's a bit dark (again just the defaults). I hope you find Picasa useful. We have a page here that has some other recommended software. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 07:09, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Request: hi, i was wondering if anyone here would be interested in creating a simple SVG image. I'm terrible at making them. After not really getting any help by leaving messages to users on Wikipedia, i ended up here.
So the image i'm looking for is very simple. I'm looking to get a black flag, with a white circle in the middle of it. It doesn't really get any more than that - its supposed to be similar to Image:TUGS Flag.svg. The image is shown in the top of this image, as well as the far left of here and middle right of here. I understand its hard to see but if anyone could help me even the tiniest bit that would be amazing :D
I figured it should be around the scale of normal flags, i think its 4.5:3? that may not be true. The image is to be used on Template:TUGS as well as a userbox along the same lines as that, which i've not yet made.
Again, if anyone could help me, that would be amazing. I'll keep an eye on the page, I've got my talk page as well if anyone feels the need :) -- SteelersFanUK06 ReplyOnMine! 23:58, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: I don't think there is a "standard" shape for coats of arms. I think, (but I am not sure) that this shape is ment to match the historical shape. It seems to match up with the only other source for it that i could find. ----- J.S ( T/ C/ WRE) 21:50, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
There are various shapes of shield (see Escutcheon (heraldry), but on most it doesn’t matter. The only government link seems to be here (the Irish embassy in Argentina of all places!) and that shows the same shape. Unless it is evidence of a specific shape, then usually the creator of the image has free reign. As for the black line, I really don’t think it matters. Unless it is defined in the blazon (formal description) of the arms, it is the opinion of the once again the graphic's creator as to whether to add a boarder or not. The representation of a coat of arms is really up to interpretation of the blazon, for example all of these show three yellow lions on a red field (the arms of England), but all do it differently.
Therefore it is probably best to stick to the status quo. By the way, apologies for the lesson. You asked for someone with knowledge, but I can get rather longwinded on the subject!- 23230 talk 17:56, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
