Article(s): The Apotheosis of Washington
Request: I was wondering if the colors could be improved to make it look more like the rest of the images on that page. -- I. Pankonin ( t/ c) 07:35, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: The small sections in the article seem to me to be too colour saturated, but the one you requested is definitely too flat. Based on this one, I've boosted contrast, especially within the fresco itself, to meet the small sections halfway, so to speak. How's it looking? -- mikaul talk 09:07, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Article(s): Indian wine
Request: This image lacks a professional appearance and should be fairly easy to improve. -- Rmhermen ( talk) 21:46, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: How's this? Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 00:44, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
If you have any more detailed areas you might want to try out on Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian maps. Also Image:India-locator-map-blank.svg would be a good base map... and anyone who knows SVG well (not really me...) should be able to fill / shaed the provinces and add labels with no problem. gren グレン 06:20, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Bonin Islands
Request: add Iwo Jima label -- Chris (クリス) ( talk) 20:48, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Is Iwo Jima the one immediately above "Volcano Group" or the one above that? Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 21:05, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Wind it up Wind it up Wind it up Wind it up
Request: Take the base KGB image and modify it (With the SVG of the coat of arms) to create an SVG equivalent to the GIF image. 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 04:58, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Oppinion: How's this. Drawn from the gif. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 19:10, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Engaewa similis
Request: I created Image:Engaewa similis diagram.svg in inkscape, and it shows up fine on my computer but will not display as a thumbnail on Commons or in Wikipedia. I can't figure out the problem (I have tried purging the cache, that didn't work so I think there could be a problem with the SVG file)-- Commander Keane ( talk) 05:19, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: The file does show if you click on the "full size" link [2] It downloads fine and when opened reveals an object with a blur or gradient off the page to the left. I have had some similar problems, and believe that it has to do with Wikipedia not liking blurs and/or gradients. Slashme will probably know. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 21:32, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
The problem was that there was an image still in the SVG. An image, probably used to trace from, was left in the SVG, but not embedded, simply a link to a file. Because this file was obviously not on Wikimedia's servers, it threw up an error and so it wouldn't display. I simply removed the image in a text editor and it displayed fine. (I also vacuumed defs and saved around 20k, remember to do this before uploading!) :-) > Rugby471 talk ⚔ 11:15, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: I converted the text to paths so it would show up. The image page also needs a copyright tag, or it will be deleted very soon. Let me know if you have any questions. -- I. Pankonin ( t/ c) 08:17, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): A working bench for the article East Texas Baptist University at User:Kushal_one/ETBU
Request: Image might need to be digitally corrected to look at its best. Cropping and straightening might be needed. Direct link to image description is [3] and the image is [4]. Thank you. -- Kushal t 00:53, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I've made a perspective correction, and cleaned it up some, but haven't corrected the chromatic aberration. ? Aza Toth 01:47, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you very much. The photo looks very professional now. Yes, please mark it as done. The image has found its way to East Texas Baptist University.

Article(s): Climate of Minnesota
Request: Basically what I'd like is something just about like this, only of better quality and more visually appealing. Here is what specifically should be on it:
1. A background map of the United States (with state borders), Southern Canada and Northern Mexico, just like this map shows.
2. The 3 storm tracks with similar paths as shown. The paths can end as arrows where they do on the map now.
3. The "Warm Moist" and "Cool Dry" air mass identifiers should be similarly placed as well.
4. Then in addition what would be nice is some kind of simple legend on the bottom, maybe with a line color and the name of the storm track next to it.
That's about it. As far as sources for the map, do I need to provide that, or is there a repository somewhere? Gopher backer ( talk) 03:46, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Should it be for minnesota only, or for the whole US? Doesn't really get that point. ? Aza Toth 03:51, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia does have a repository of Blank maps. But the one of North America shows Michigan amalgamated with the Great Lakes into a new state. Does anyone know of a better starting point for this project? Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 06:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
http://www.petaimg.com/uploads/1199112761.svg
Article(s): Blastocyst
Request: The blastocyst PNG was converted to an SVG which looks vastly inferior to the PNG on which it was based. I'm trying to replicate the PNG more faithfully using Inkscape's trace tool but I've hit a problem. If you take a gander at the image linked to above, you see that the round thing has a cluster of cells at the top, with a diagonal line connecting the cluster of cells to the side of the circle. That line is an artifact and should not be there. My attempts to break the path have ended in failure and misery. I'm looking to you, Great Wikigraphicists, to right the wronged, to succeed where others have failed, to achieve what others have only dreamed. -- Seans Potato Business 20:23, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I can never seem to get Inkscape to do a trace I like, either, but here's a cleaner starting point. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 21:13, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Articels: Any ship in the Revenue Cutter service, the coast guard, etc.
Request: This should be mostly "cut and paste" work, as well as converting the coastguard and federal logos to monochrome. This official photograph [7] prooves that the GIF isn't just a really horrible copy, but is infact mostly correct (Other than being a horrible copy). 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 04:45, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Oppinion: How's this? Both the canon and logo appeared to be all blue in the official photo. I used the red and blue from the logo. It wouldn't be hard to change if they're not the correct shades of red and blue. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 05:48, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Shojiro Iida
Request: fix halftoning chatter -- Chris (???) ( talk) 03:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Desaturating the color and a little blur help some, but this is probably a good job for Slashme's fourier transforms. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 06:05, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
This looks like a perfect job for the Fourier transform. I'll take a look this evening when I get home. -- Slashme ( talk) 05:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
The link in the article looks perfectly normal. I have any idea how one might encode anything in a png other than the standard metadata. I would guess that there was a delay between wiki's servers somewhere. Haven't you ever run into the Wikipedia Database Locked Page? I just did. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 02:02, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Skype, Skype Limited, Features of Skype
Request: -- Image:Skype_logo.png is tagged with {{ Convert to SVG}}, so I boldly tried to convert the image using Inkscape, but since I'm new to working with that file format, I somehow messed it up each time. Either the vectorised image doesn't look good, or (like the current version) it doesn't properly display at all. I dorfbaer I talk I 15:29, January 2, 2008
Graphist opinion:
Articles: Vatican City, Coat of arms of the Vatican City, etc.
Request: Change the cable connecting the two keys to match the official one, as shown here and here (Ignore the bizzare "halo" around the website header image). 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 03:57, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: It might actually be correct. Coats of arms are correct as long as they match the description. It's not like a logo, which must be represented exactly such and such a way each and every time. If you can find the blazon, I would know for sure. -- I. Pankonin ( t/ c) 00:50, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): WAGGGS-Europe Region, image used on vi:Vùng N? Hu?ng d?o châu Âu (WAGGGS)
Article(s): WOSM-European Region, image used on several language iterations: sv:Europeiska scoutregionen (WOSM), vi:Vùng Hu?ng d?o châu Âu (WOSM)
Request: similar but slightly differing requests, above. Andorra should be in light grey as no Scouting organization, member countries pale blue like the map on the side. -- Chris (???) ( talk) 06:02, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Hi, Chris. This cropping seemed to make sense, unless you want to show all of Russia. Same cropping for WOSM-Europe? If Israel isn't a member, it might be better if they can be added. - Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 23:02, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Flag of Rhodesia
Request: grainy poor svg-certainly we can do better -- Chris (???) ( talk) 06:14, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
This is somewhat of an improvement. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 01:34, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
The last flag was done by inkscape tracing the seal to svg format. It's as good as I'm going to get it by that method. Redrawing it by hand would be a lot of work, and really should have a better image to start with. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 03:00, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
The flag had a thin blue line at the top for a while. Very thin; I did not notice at for a while, then fixed it. Not sure why it happened. A stroke effect in Inkscape which I either added unknowningly or Inkscape sometimes seems to do weird things. For the Seal, the svg may not be an improvement over the png. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 19:45, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
FYI you can download an svg by using "save page as" and then upload them wherever you wish. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 19:45, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, but I feel that the old PNG version is more true to the actual look of the image. The SVG version that has been created here is very green and doesn't look right to my eyes. Not only that but the coat of arms are very blurred and it is hard to make the image out. Sadly I lack the knowledge of how to improve the images but is there any way we could make corrections and possibly enlarge the image? Mangwanani ( talk) 18:54, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Everything in Category:Oran Province. Everything.
Request: I need a map as in the example above, showing the administrative borders of the municipalities and districts of Oran Province, Algeria, but without the compass, the small map in the upper left corner, and without labels. Bitmap versions of this map can be viewed on following websites: [9], [10], and [11]. PS: Each municipality should be individually selectable. I already tried to ask for this on the French Wikipedia, but I haven't got an answer since a month, so I hope I can get some help here. TIA!
Graphist opinion: Comme ça? Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 19:10, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
This should do everything you want. In addition the borders can easily turned on or off, made any color, and varied from thick to thin. Instructions for Inkscape are on the map's description page. About how many articles will it be used for? Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 04:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Request: switch perspective, change this map to be Pacific Basin-centric, include in yellow Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Marianas, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Palau; only leave Greenland, Cuba and French Guiana grey in region, all others pastel yellow -- Chris (???) ( talk) 17:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: If the pdf has no copyright problems, it might be better to use it. It seems to have good quality, and wouldn't be hard to work with in Photoshop. Trying to go from the standard world map would requiring transforms (skewing). Inkscape (at least the version I have) will not skew objects. There's supposed to be an add on that will give it this ability, but I've been unable to download it. Which would leave me down to exporting objects (countries) as bitmaps putting them in Photoshop and making a transformation one country at a time. Then importing them back tracing the bitmaps to svg's and trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Then there's the problem of trying to drag all the Pacific Island groups west across the eastern hemisphere so they end up to the left of the Americas. Or redraw them and get them grouped together properly so that each island group takes the same fill color. I'm afraid this one's beyond my skill level. Do you want me to do a map from the pdf? Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 23:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Here is as far as I got so far. I'll get the islands colored when I can. 71.36.192.95 ( talk) 01:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Request: I've done this SVG conversion, but the stripes on the ribbon don't want to be even. I tried using a pattern, but that gave whitespace between the elements. Can anyone tidy this up further? Ta! -- Stannered ( talk) 22:36, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: How, is it supposed to look ? It looks different depending on the size of the thumbnails, and also looks different viewed in full size inbetween Inkscape and Firefox. In Inkscape the lines are a darker red, in Firefox they are almost black. Jackaranga ( talk) 20:52, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Speedtree
Request: Make this JPG an SVG -- BLACKLEMON-67 yay! ( talk) 00:04, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: As this logo is used under a claim of fair use, we can't create derivative works of it, hence can't convert it to SVG ourselves. We have to find a vector version created by the company itself, and convert that. Stannered ( talk) 18:13, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Flag of Finland
Request: Look at the "swastika" icon at the left upper corner, it misses a heraldic rose in the centre. It should be easy, the image already has those exact heraldic roses in the middle Coat of Arms. One just needs to be rezised properly, border recoloured and put to the Cross. I tried it myself, but as an unexperience SVG user, the image failed when converting to Illustrator. Do what looks best, there aren't true examples of the most correct size. -- Pudeo ? 13:57, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: How's that? -- I. Pankonin ( t/ c) 00:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): WOSM-Africa Region, image used on several language iterations: sv:Afrikanska scoutregionen (WOSM), vi:Vùng Hu?ng d?o châu Phi (WOSM)
Request: since these are the same land area, please make a single graphic labeled Image:WOSM-WAGGGSAfricaMap-World.svg-- Chris (???) ( talk) 04:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I'm guessing that you already know that the two available Africa maps are Image:Blankmap-Africa2.png and Image:Africa98.svg. The svg has too many divisions, and it would be a matter of all the borders showing, or none. I can get where you want to go with the png. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 14:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes, especially if you want the surrounding landmasses. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 19:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Request: straighten, lighten for detail, correct perspective slightly, trim down to blue border, reduce size to wikiable -- Chris (???) ( talk) 02:58, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Chip shot - a click on the auto-levels button. You could put 4 or eight of these in one request. Maybe better try 4 at first and see if the files get uploaded in the right places. Although not a big deal if they don't. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 05:14, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:
Article(s): North American Solar Challenge
Request: I would like to please request that the yellowish-blue background be erased from this logo. At the organization's web page [13], you can see that the yellow and blue background is merely an artifact from the background of the rest of their page. On Wikipedia, the yellow and blue background is just a distraction and makes the image appear unclear. You may also wish to change it to a more appropriate graphics format (?). Thank you!

Graphist opinion:
Articles: A flood of Battles of the American Civil War.
Request: Ensure that the proportions and colors of each flag are the same: The bars should all be the same, the canton size, etc. The only difference should be the number of placement of the stars. I would use the 7-star version as the base image. Also, since the Army of Northern Virginia's flag is so similar, could you convert that the same way? 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 08:15, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Opinion: Looks easy enough. I'll get on it. I'll assume that the stars are supposed to be equally spaced. Are they supposed to be rotated so that one point always faces exactly away from the centre, becuase they are in the reference on but not in the others? Also I'll change the aspect ratio from 883.61:491 = 1.7999 to 1.8:1 to be neater and get everythng on pixel boundaries for crispness. Inductiveload ( talk) 02:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Update: Here's what I have so far. I've made them all with one point of each star pointing directly outwards (except the ANV one). If this wrong, tell me so and I will change them right away. The new image size is 810 x 450px which gives nice 150px bars. Inductiveload ( talk) 03:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Request: The pattern fill for the leopard skin is showing up at thumbnail size but not at full size for me (Firefox, XP). How to fix? -- Jeff Dahl ( Talk • contribs) 03:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I don't know the technical end about Firefox and Wikipedia do not render SVG's the same as Inkscape, but think I found a fix. Export the leopard skin as a Bitmap. Import it back in and trace it. (Path>>Trace bitmap) It ends up a bit small, but isn't hard to resize, and shows up in Firefox. I had a devil of a time with the Minnesota Weather Pattern Map above, and finally just placed one letter at a time. You'll need to adjust the fit, I got lazy. One can open images in firefox to check for these things before uploading. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 05:48, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: If you have the original data, I could re-do the graph in gnuplot, which can natively produce svg graphs. I'm not sure whether an automatic pdf-to-svg converter exists, but it would not be hard to re-draw a simple straight-line graph like that by hand. -- Slashme ( talk) 14:14, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Ok, here's the big map. It needs a good proof reading. I put up two versions, a .svg and a .png. Often the Firefox browser displays svg's oddly, with the text too big, and it did it here. (Anybody out there with a solution or even just an explanation would be most welcome.) When it's been checked over, I'll do the two smaller versions in both file types. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 02:44, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Look over one version of each the new ones carefully. (the PNG's are probably easier) I moved some street labels around, and could have deleted or submerged something. The SVG with both campuses is the one to be sure to hang on to; it is the master from which the others are made. The other SVG are are complete, but do have some labels moved.
SVG vs PNG As far as I know there is a indeed a move to svg. But at this time Internet Explorer does not read them at all and Firefox doesn't always do it well. (doesn't do the street labels at all well on these.) So, while you may want to use the png's today, the day of the svg will come. You might want have an admin rename the map of the entire campus. (I used main streets meaning main streets labeled - saved in the event of an Inkscape crash) The labeling did not turn out to be as bad a chore as I thought it might. Enjoy!

Graphist opinion:
The only real difference I see is the use of thick outlines on the "quality png" one. I've never been a fan of outlines on coats of arms, because if they're designed right, the colors that border one another contrast with each other. That's clearly the case here. The white horse and rider contrast with the red, so there's no need for a thick black outline.
The color of the spurs is different too, but I think that's just styling. -- I. Pankonin Review me! 11:02, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: Yes, it should be winding its way through the servers. How it's done varies with image type. For SVG's there's a setting much like the fill setting. File>>Document Properties. It's the second thing down. (While you're there, notice the "fit page to selection" button.) On a PNG the only way I know is involves coping the image to a new document with a clear background, Then erasing the white. Which isn't bad as there's a tool (magic wand) that will select it all, well, 99%. Then hit the delete key. All the white pixel go away. Taking care that you don't get white from the image. Then a little touch up with a small eraser and/or pencil. Can be tedious, but I find it relaxing. Maybe somebody else knows a better way. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 02:48, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Request: SVGification. The only major difference I can see in the eagle in the House logo and the SVG of the Great Seal is that the shield actually has stars in it. As to the Congress seal, the outer rim is, I think, supposed to be reminiscent of a fasces. Finally, if you can do the Senate logo, that would be great, but I know it looks nothing like the rest of them.

Hey all, I was not aware of this going on when I uploaded the two I extracted. I've had them done for little while but had not gotten around to uploading them... may have saved a little work, sorry about that. Great job all around though; it'll be nice to have some SVG versions of these. One thing is that the Senate and Congress unofficial seals (and the official Senate one) seem to use a different font than the one used here... not sure if that can be changed or not, but it may help if it could. Some elements of the VP seal are more gray in the source image; that may look better against the white background. A couple of other notes -- the House "seal" here is also unofficial, as is the Congress one. There is no official seal of Congress, and the official House seal apparently apparently dates from 1963 and shows the southeast (House) side of the U.S. Capitol building with a ring of stars around it, but I've never seen an image of it. [17] Earlier house seals apparently showed the Capitol building as it was in the very early 1800s (before even the original dome was built). The senate seal is only used in very particular circumstances, so it seems they have come up with these "unofficial", alternate versions. As you see, one of them always seems to be used on podiums during speeches, etc. The image of the official seal is from a stained glass window in the Capitol (see this image). I guess the House seal is under similar restrictions, so they have a similar set of unofficial versions used on websites etc., but I've not seen a picture of any of the official ones. The stars on the shield probably come from the vector of the Great Seal (see the original PDF source; they have the stars even though the Great Seal is not supposed to have them). Anyways, kudos again on the great job here -- it's great to have SVG versions of a lot of these.

Note that the copyright status of this particular image is a bit strange: The flag itself is definitely old enough to be out of copyright (As well as a Federal production), however this version came from FotW (Noncommercial).

ChrisTheDude ( talk) 07:49, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Right, first of all the reason it wasn't showing up at all in wikipedia is that you left the image that you traced from in there, because MediaWiki couldn't find the image, it left an error so that's why altogether it wouldn't show. After you got rid of the image, the next reason it wouldn't show was because the fill of the graph, although was black, was transparent, so you saw right through it ( :-) ). I appreciate you are trying to help by creating SVG, my first SVG was a disaster, but now I am much better.
I can see you have created the image in excel and traced it in inkscape. However, tracing an image like this is very ineffecient, creating a high filesize which is not so useful. You can also tell it has been traced by lkie on the text, the borders of it are not straight. A better way to do it is
1) Trace the image yourself, creating rectangles for each 'bar' on the graph, using the text tool to create the labels, and the path tool to create the axis.

Request: -- The image above is my attempt at photostitching three images together. It doesn't look too bad but my middle photo has a much lighter blue for the sky so I had to crop off a lot of the top to minimize the effect this had on the overall photo.

Graphist opinion: I wish I had time to play with this. But I would make a suggestion. Next time you shoot with the intention of stitching the images together, use manual exposure settings, (of course the same ones.) Then your colors should match exactly. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 03:59, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I can't figure out the problem (I have tried purging the cache, that didn't work so I think there could be a problem with the SVG file)-- Commander Keane ( talk) 05:19, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: The file does show if you click on the "full size" link [2] It downloads fine and when opened reveals an object with a blur or gradient off the page to the left. I have had some similar problems, and believe that it has to do with Wikipedia not liking blurs and/or gradients. Slashme will probably know. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 21:32, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
The problem was that there was an image still in the SVG. An image, probably used to trace from, was left in the SVG, but not embedded, simply a link to a file. Because this file was obviously not on Wikimedia's servers, it threw up an error and so it wouldn't display. I simply removed the image in a text editor and it displayed fine.

2. The 3 storm tracks with similar paths as shown. The paths can end as arrows where they do on the map now.
3. The "Warm Moist" and "Cool Dry" air mass identifiers should be similarly placed as well.
4. Then in addition what would be nice is some kind of simple legend on the bottom, maybe with a line color and the name of the storm track next to it.
That's about it. As far as sources for the map, do I need to provide that, or is there a repository somewhere? Gopher backer ( talk) 03:46, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Request: The blastocyst PNG was converted to an SVG which looks vastly inferior to the PNG on which it was based. I'm trying to replicate the PNG more faithfully using Inkscape's trace tool but I've hit a problem. If you take a gander at the image linked to above, you see that the round thing has a cluster of cells at the top, with a diagonal line connecting the cluster of cells to the side of the circle. That line is an artifact and should not be there. My attempts to break the path have ended in failure and misery.

This is somewhat of an improvement. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 01:34, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
The last flag was done by inkscape tracing the seal to svg format. It's as good as I'm going to get it by that method. Redrawing it by hand would be a lot of work, and really should have a better image to start with. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 03:00, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
The flag had a thin blue line at the top for a while. Very thin; I did not notice at for a while, then fixed it. Not sure why it happened. A stroke effect in Inkscape which I either added unknowningly or Inkscape sometimes seems to do weird things. For the Seal, the svg may not be an improvement over the png. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 19:45, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but I feel that the old PNG version is more true to the actual look of the image. The SVG version that has been created here is very green and doesn't look right to my eyes. Not only that but the coat of arms are very blurred and it is hard to make the image out.

Graphist opinion: If the pdf has no copyright problems, it might be better to use it. It seems to have good quality, and wouldn't be hard to work with in Photoshop. Trying to go from the standard world map would requiring transforms (skewing). Inkscape (at least the version I have) will not skew objects. There's supposed to be an add on that will give it this ability, but I've been unable to download it. Which would leave me down to exporting objects (countries) as bitmaps putting them in Photoshop and making a transformation one country at a time. Then importing them back tracing the bitmaps to svg's and trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Then there's the problem of trying to drag all the Pacific Island groups west across the eastern hemisphere so they end up to the left of the Americas. Or redraw them and get them grouped together properly so that each island group takes the same fill color. I'm afraid this one's beyond my skill level. Do you want me to do a map from the pdf?

Also, since the Army of Northern Virginia's flag is so similar, could you convert that the same way? 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 08:15, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Opinion: Looks easy enough. I'll get on it. I'll assume that the stars are supposed to be equally spaced. Are they supposed to be rotated so that one point always faces exactly away from the centre, becuase they are in the reference on but not in the others? Also I'll change the aspect ratio from 883.61:491 = 1.7999 to 1.8:1 to be neater and get everythng on pixel boundaries for crispness. Inductiveload ( talk) 02:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Update: Here's what I have so far. I've made them all with one point of each star pointing directly outwards (except the ANV one). If this wrong, tell me so and I will change them right away. The new image size is 810 x 450px which gives nice 150px bars. Inductiveload ( talk) 03:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: I don't know the technical end about Firefox and Wikipedia do not render SVG's the same as Inkscape, but think I found a fix. Export the leopard skin as a Bitmap. Import it back in and trace it. (Path>>Trace bitmap) It ends up a bit small, but isn't hard to resize, and shows up in Firefox. I had a devil of a time with the Minnesota Weather Pattern Map above, and finally just placed one letter at a time. You'll need to adjust the fit, I got lazy.

Ok, here's the big map. It needs a good proof reading. I put up two versions, a .svg and a .png. Often the Firefox browser displays svg's oddly, with the text too big, and it did it here. (Anybody out there with a solution or even just an explanation would be most welcome.) When it's been checked over, I'll do the two smaller versions in both file types. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 02:44, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Look over one version of each the new ones carefully. (the PNG's are probably easier) I moved some street labels around, and could have deleted or submerged something. The SVG with both campuses is the one to be sure to hang on to; it is the master from which the others are made. The other SVG are are complete, but do have some labels moved.
SVG vs PNG As far as I know there is a indeed a move to svg. But at this time Internet Explorer does not read them at all and Firefox doesn't always do it well. (doesn't do the street labels at all well on these.) So, while you may want to use the png's today, the day of the svg will come. You might want have an admin rename the map of the entire campus. (I used main streets meaning main streets labeled - saved in the event of an Inkscape crash) The labeling did not turn out to be as bad a chore as I thought it might. Enjoy!

Graphist opinion:
The only real difference I see is the use of thick outlines on the "quality png" one. I've never been a fan of outlines on coats of arms, because if they're designed right, the colors that border one another contrast with each other. That's clearly the case here. The white horse and rider contrast with the red, so there's no need for a thick black outline.
The color of the spurs is different too, but I think that's just styling. -- I. Pankonin Review me! 11:02, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Request: Can someone make the background of this transparent? Thanks. (PS: How exactly do you make the BG of an image transparent?)-- escondites 11:10, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Yes, it should be winding its way through the servers. How it's done varies with image type. For SVG's there's a setting much like the fill setting. File>>Document Properties. It's the second thing down. (While you're there, notice the "fit page to selection" button.) On a PNG the only way I know is involves coping the image to a new document with a clear background, Then erasing the white. Which isn't bad as there's a tool (magic wand) that will select it all, well, 99%. Then hit the delete key. All the white pixel go away. Taking care that you don't get white from the image. Then a little touch up with a small eraser and/or pencil. Can be tedious, but I find it relaxing. Maybe somebody else knows a better way. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 02:48, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey all, I was not aware of this going on when I uploaded the two I extracted. I've had them done for little while but had not gotten around to uploading them... may have saved a little work, sorry about that. Great job all around though; it'll be nice to have some SVG versions of these. One thing is that the Senate and Congress unofficial seals (and the official Senate one) seem to use a different font than the one used here... not sure if that can be changed or not, but it may help if it could. Some elements of the VP seal are more gray in the source image; that may look better against the white background. A couple of other notes -- the House "seal" here is also unofficial, as is the Congress one. There is no official seal of Congress, and the official House seal apparently apparently dates from 1963 and shows the southeast (House) side of the U.S. Capitol building with a ring of stars around it, but I've never seen an image of it. [17] Earlier house seals apparently showed the Capitol building as it was in the very early 1800s (before even the original dome was built). The senate seal is only used in very particular circumstances, so it seems they have come up with these "unofficial", alternate versions. As you see, one of them always seems to be used on podiums during speeches, etc. The image of the official seal is from a stained glass window in the Capitol (see this image). I guess the House seal is under similar restrictions, so they have a similar set of unofficial versions used on websites etc., but I've not seen a picture of any of the official ones. The stars on the shield probably come from the vector of the Great Seal (see the original PDF source; they have the stars even though the Great Seal is not supposed to have them). Anyways, kudos again on the great job here -- it's great to have SVG versions of a lot of these. And good luck on the reverse of the Great Seal -- I've never found a vector version of it :-) Carl Lindberg ( talk) 17:07, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Request: SVGify and sharpen the stars. Note that the copyright status of this particular image is a bit strange: The flag itself is definitely old enough to be out of copyright (As well as a Federal production), however this version came from FotW (Noncommercial). Since the image could certainly be done in a (copyright) free way, the assertion in the fairuse rationale that it is "irreplaceable" is certainly erroneous. Given that, and the tendency of fairuse partolling around here, the .GIF will probably be deleted soon after an SVG is created (Hopefully not before that!). 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 00:43, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Opinion: I doubt they could actually claim a copyright on this, because it's composed entirely of common shapes (" Common geometric forms such as rectangles, ellipses, five-pointed stars, as well as works composed solely of uncopyrightable elements are not copyrightable"). Anyway, I'll do this one. -- I. Pankonin ( t· c) 01:41, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Request: brighten for detail. If you change the format to a more lossless one, please - give - it - a - better - name :) -- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 02:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Isn't a jpg the most suitable format for a photo? Wont PNG be too large? I would have done it already, but you didn't specify a suitable name (and I still wonder why you can do these yourself). ---- Seans Potato Business 17:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Sagredo, thanks for understanding, I don't think I'm the most important guy, you guys are doing all the heavy lifting, I just keep you stocked. :) The image is great, cute name, much more concise ;), marking as done! Thanks! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 04:51, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Natural Killer Cells
Request: This my first attempt at drawing a diagram and it's a perfect storm of why you shouldn't draw diagrams with a) little to no artistic talent b) on a crummy laptop touchpad and c) with truly pitiful illustrator experience. I've uploaded an 'SVG' file here. For some reason the svg messes up the text. I just want it to be... prettier, and more systematic. If the cells could be made to look vaguely like they are portrayed elsewhere on the site ( like here, it would be amazing! Thanks! I also have the .ai file, if that helps, but I can't put it on wikipedia. -- Cacofonie ( talk) 04:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I will fix the text. -- Slashme ( talk) 07:22, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Wow, Adobe really did a number on that text. Placing each letter individually, and badly. Anyway, I fixed the text up, but I still want to do a bit of redrawing. -- Slashme ( talk) 08:08, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
I have now re-drawn the picture from scratch in inkscape. I'm also not a real graphic artist, so it's not picture perfect, but let me know what you think -- Slashme ( talk) 10:09, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
OK, I made the arrows thicker, and added arrows pointing to the options, but I am slightly doubtful about that: Does the cell start out by presenting the foreign protein, and then have its MHC I downregulated, or does the pathogen downregulate the MHC I from the start, so that the antigen is never presented in the first place? -- Slashme ( talk) 00:57, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
OK, done. -- Slashme ( talk) 08:59, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Request: -- This was my first ever attempt at a SVG file, but I've clearly done something wrong. The image appears to have made it onto the server, as when you click on the empty space where it should be it opens up, but it won't display within the article itself - what have I done wrong..........? ChrisTheDude ( talk) 07:49, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Right, first of all the reason it wasn't showing up at all in wikipedia is that you left the image that you traced from in there, because MediaWiki couldn't find the image, it left an error so that's why altogether it wouldn't show. After you got rid of the image, the next reason it wouldn't show was because the fill of the graph, although was black, was transparent, so you saw right through it ( :-) ). I appreciate you are trying to help by creating SVG, my first SVG was a disaster, but now I am much better.
I can see you have created the image in excel and traced it in inkscape. However, tracing an image like this is very ineffecient, creating a high filesize which is not so useful. You can also tell it has been traced by lkie on the text, the borders of it are not straight. A better way to do it is
1) Trace the image yourself, creating rectangles for each 'bar' on the graph, using the text tool to create the labels, and the path tool to create the axis.
'or
2) Use an online program like http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/ or http://www.barchart.be/index.jsp to create from the actual data, and then choose to export it to SVG on the site.
Hope this helps! > Rugby471 talk ⚔ 10:08, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Coat of arms of Nepal, many others
Request: SVGify, scales badly in some places. -- Chris (???) ( talk) 03:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: The flag can ofcourse be taken from Image:Flag of Nepal.svg, the country outline from Image:LocationNepal.svg or (more detailed) Image:Nepal map.png. 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 07:43, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
OK, I see everything but the object on the female arm. I think it's beads, 4 or 5 rows. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 07:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Here it is. Thanks for bringing this one in, Chris (???), it was fun. Thanks also to [[[Special:Contributions/68.39.174.238|68.39.174.238]] for your help and info. (The wrist object turned out to be bracelets made of small beads sewn together.) Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 01:51, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Request: -- The image above is my attempt at photostitching three images together. It doesn't look too bad but my middle photo has a much lighter blue for the sky so I had to crop off a lot of the top to minimize the effect this had on the overall photo. So, I'm asking that if anyone can make a better photostitch, please, go for it. If not, then ignore this request. The three photos can be found at:
Also, any overall improvements to the quality of the photo through post-processing would be welcome.? NMajdan• talk 14:20, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I wish I had time to play with this. But I would make a suggestion. Next time you shoot with the intention of stitching the images together, use manual exposure settings, (of course the same ones.) Then your colors should match exactly. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 03:59, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
I threw it into hugin, and made a try. ? Aza Toth 13:31, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Request: A vector version of the map above, probably using the second map here? (But personally I think the boundaries in map 2 ain't that great...) Please and thank you -- escondites 16:44, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Thanks for bringing it to us. I don't think the svg will work, it appears to be railroads. Perhaps for the outer boundaries, and draw the inner boundaries from the third image. I have 2 other things in my queue, and shouldn't take any more right now. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 07:40, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Here is this one, let me know if you would like a different projection, or different colours, or numbers, words etc.: Also if you have any other maps you need in SVG and there is a shapefile available, don't hesitate to ask, because it only takes a minute.

Request: SVG image. could it be black rather than blue too to make it like other signatures please? Thanks Mangwanani ( talk) 18:47, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I'll give this a good clean up in Photoshop before the trace with Inkscape. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 23:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Here are two possibilities. The first is the Inkscape trace after cleaning up and smoothing (somewhat) the lines in Photoshop. The second is after Inkscape's simplify path function. Tell me what you think. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 23:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
