Article(s): iPod
Request: Apple announced their new iPod line a week or so ago, and the iPod article is without an image. Unfortunately, we don't have a free iPod Touch 2G pic yet, but in the mean time, I would like a conglomeration (much like the samples above) of the iPods shuffle, nano, and classic (we can add the touch later). I have linked what I think are the best images we have to work with in the gallery, but you can use anything you can find, provided the iPod resembles the ones in the above images (no point in using an old model).
A note about copyright: some users contest that Apple's interface is copyrighted and therefore we must blur the screens. I think this is absurd. It mischaracterizes the iPod, misleads users, and lessens the enc value. The nano is turned off anyway, and the classic (bereft of other iPods) is on the Commons without issue. Make a fair use claim (here, not on Commons), or make the screen look likes it's off (the nano would make a good guide), but don't blur the screen. Ideally, let sleeping dogs lie and worry about making the iPods look nice. Thanks in advance for you patience, understanding, and work. HereToHelp ( talk to me) 02:13, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): Ratanakiri Province
Request: I'd like to have a vector map of Ratanakiri showing the province's physical geography (not administrative divisions, like we have now). The best map I've found is this. There's also this one. If someone could make something based on the first one, that would be great. Please, no administrative divisions. Also, the tourist sites are not needed. What I'd like is a map that shows the rivers, maybe the roads, and the towns. Thanks a million!! Calliopejen1 ( talk) 18:58, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: What's wrong with Image:Vancouver SkyTrain Map.svg ? Your map is obviously just plagiarism of the svg one, you don't credit the original one like the license obliges you to, you didn't even bother to modify the description. If you do want to build on the SVG file, credit the author correctly, also it's pointless to convert from svg to jpg to svg. Jackaranga ( talk) 11:48, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Request: Can we remove that large object above the building in the upper left of the photo?

Request: Please make the green behind the yellow symmetrical (you can tell it's not), have the hollow trefoil filled in with green (textured like the yellow petals), so that both the boy emblem and the girl emblem have substance, bulk and texture. When I first designed the original, I didn't even think about that, I was trying to simply incorporate both emblems. Now this seems like a natural progression.

Article(s): Ramba (comics)
Request: This 8-panel comic strip is not only a bit graphic content-wise but is too busy for the infobox. Please pull the 4th frame out as a solo. That is, the second row down and on the right side showing the protagonist firing a weapon with the words STU-TU-TUNF. If this could be made a single frame as well as improved, a bit sharper and any other clean-up it would be super-duper! We'll use the 8-panel version further down in the article. Thank you!!!! -- Banjeboi 10:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
Article(s): (template for...) Ring-tailed Lemur, Ruffed Lemur, and eventually all lemur pages
Request: I would like a (simple?) attractive template that I can color in to create range maps for all lemur species. The world map (BlankMap-World6.svg) can be placed in any corner of a larger Madagascar map (Madagascar_Locator.svg), extending the image if needed. I'd actually prefer a landscape orientation, similar to the sample target image (LocationMadagascar.svg). To me, it makes the most sense to extend the Madagascar map to the right (east), into the Indian Ocean, so that there's no overlap with the location of Africa. I just need enough room for a legend (if needed). I would also like the box drawn around Madagascar on the world map, as shown in the sample target image. SVG is perferred, although I will graciously accept a very high resolution PNG file. And unless better reasons can be given, I would prefer to follow the standard color conventions from WP:WPMAP. Thank you for your time. – Visionholder ( talk) 06:15, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): Margaret Thatcher, among others
Request: I have attempted for many months now to find a good looking, color, free use image of Margaret Thatcher which focuses solely on her. Most are copyrighted, and the ones that we can use usually do not work or do not look decent. Just recently I cropped Image:Margaret Thatcher DF-SD-06-15534.jpg to Image:Margaret Thatcher Reagan funeral.jpg, and made that the main image, replacing Image:Margaret Thatcher 1983.jpg. I don't think it looks bad, but I would prefer an image of her during her tenure as Prime Minister. So I need a graphists opinion: which of the above images could be cropped to focus solely on Margaret Thatcher? And could a graphist perhaps experiment with cropping them, because I do not have the tools to reduce noise or change a background to improve the image when it is cropped. If nothing comes of this, it's okay, but it is worth a shot. My best, Happyme22 ( talk) 03:56, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:Hi, I cropped the image 3, and also removed President Ronald Reagan's shoulder from the image, but the source image quality wasn't good enough, and i don't know if it is good for article or not, i think the current image looks nice; Is there any better version available? ■ MMXX talk 21:08, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): Banaba Island
Request: Hello! I want to know if it is possible to extract or to make some graphs and maps from this PDF file. I mean if it is OK to do that, because of the author rights. I need that location map (p. 7), the Mean monthly rainfall graph (Figure 1.2, p. 8), the Mean annual rainfall over Western Kiribati map (Figure 1.3, p. 8), Figure 1.4 and Figure 1.5. If it is possible, it would be great. Thanks in advance, Sebi ( talk) 15:53, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
Better color? Also, the map in the PDF is pretty much unusable due to quality. Has the island changed since this map? If not, it would be very easy to make a color version. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 21:03, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Request: Can we remove that large object above the building in the upper left of the photo? It looks like an arm for a traffic light or something, but it's not really crucial to the image, and is rather distracting. And for the same reason, is it possible to remove the lady from the bottom of the photo? SchuminWeb ( Talk) 05:55, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:Hi, I did retouch the image (removed the traffic light and the lady) but it seems the image have no source information and it is uploaded only in en wikipedia. Please complete source information and verify the copyright status of this images, then I can upload the retouched image to the Commons. ■ MMXX talk 10:40, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Request: For all of them, SVGify if possible, since they are perfect for it (Boxes, colors and text). For the graphs, they should be recreated with (if possible) a standard look, but definitely free of unneeded dimensions (EG. Spurious 3D effects or shading). 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 20:49, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Request: Please make the green behind the yellow symmetrical (you can tell it's not), have the hollow trefoil filled in with green (textured like the yellow petals), so that both the boy emblem and the girl emblem have substance, bulk and texture. When I first designed the original, I didn't even think about that, I was trying to simply incorporate both emblems. Now this seems like a natural progression.

Article(s): Ramba (comics)
Request: This 8-panel comic strip is not only a bit graphic content-wise but is too busy for the infobox. Please pull the 4th frame out as a solo. That is, the second row down and on the right side showing the protagonist firing a weapon with the words STU-TU-TUNF. If this could be made a single frame as well as improved, a bit sharper and any other clean-up it would be super-duper! We'll use the 8-panel version further down in the article.

Article(s): (template for...) Ring-tailed Lemur, Ruffed Lemur, and eventually all lemur pages
Request: I would like a (simple?) attractive template that I can color in to create range maps for all lemur species. The world map (BlankMap-World6.svg) can be placed in any corner of a larger Madagascar map (Madagascar_Locator.svg), extending the image if needed. I'd actually prefer a landscape orientation, similar to the sample target image (LocationMadagascar.svg). To me, it makes the most sense to extend the Madagascar map to the right (east), into the Indian Ocean, so that there's no overlap with the location of Africa. I just need enough room for a legend (if needed). I would also like the box drawn around Madagascar on the world map, as shown in the sample target image. SVG is perferred, although I will graciously accept a very high resolution PNG file. And unless better reasons can be given, I would prefer to follow the standard color conventions from WP:WPMAP. Thank you for your time. – Visionholder ( talk) 06:15, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): Margaret Thatcher, among others
Request: I have attempted for many months now to find a good looking, color, free use image of Margaret Thatcher which focuses solely on her. Most are copyrighted, and the ones that we can use usually do not work or do not look decent. Just recently I cropped Image:Margaret Thatcher DF-SD-06-15534.jpg to Image:Margaret Thatcher Reagan funeral.jpg, and made that the main image, replacing Image:Margaret Thatcher 1983.jpg. I don't think it looks bad, but I would prefer an image of her during her tenure as Prime Minister. So I need a graphists opinion: which of the above images could be cropped to focus solely on Margaret Thatcher? And could a graphist perhaps experiment with cropping them, because I do not have the tools to reduce noise or change a background to improve the image when it is cropped. If nothing comes of this, it's okay, but it is worth a shot. My best, Happyme22 ( talk) 03:56, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Request: Hello! I want to know if it is possible to extract or to make some graphs and maps from this PDF file. I mean if it is OK to do that, because of the author rights. I need that location map (p. 7), the Mean monthly rainfall graph (Figure 1.2, p. 8), the Mean annual rainfall over Western Kiribati map (Figure 1.3, p. 8), Figure 1.4 and Figure 1.5. If it is possible, it would be great. Thanks in advance, Sebi ( talk) 15:53, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Better color? Also, the map in the PDF is pretty much unusable due to quality. Has the island changed since this map? If not, it would be very easy to make a color version. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 21:03, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
