*Long sigh...* Centpacrr, I seriously think that you need to check your monitor profile. In this image (and not for the first time) I can clearly see every brushstroke that you've made. The adjustment isn't subtle and it's quite hard edged. Moreover, that kind of heavy lightening of the shadows seems entirely unnecessary to me as I can clearly make out every detail in the blacks on my screen. Try this. (The first 3 squares all look black on my screen.) I'm loathed to revert your edit as you'd previously laid the groundwork for a flounce in your 'interim' edit 2 weeks ago with the smallprint above, and I wouldn't want to be seen as trying to WP:OWN my edit. nagualdesign ( talk) 02:19, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
Image will remain under copyright 70 years after the death of Ewald Banse. He died in 1953 so it's non-free until 2024. It can however be used on individual wikis with certain limitations. To answer your question specifically, no it cannot be coped to Commons. Further, unless it's used within WP non-free content rules, it will be deleted from here as well. I might add that the only legitimate use of the map here on en:WP is an article about the map specifically. None of the articles it's currently used in satisfies that rule. I'll add even further that a user-created map somewhat based on this map (and even others) (as long as it's not a direct copy) could be freely licensed and uploaded to Commons. If it were done in the SVG format it could also be customised to different languages. So all is not lost... you just cannot use that image. – JBarta ( talk) 15:52, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
For use on Cysts of the jaws, and possibly also odontogenic cyst.
Lesions on X-rays traditionally marked with a contrasting arrow (solid black or white, I feel white better here). The cyst is the black area surrounding the tooth in the bottom left of the image - the one which is tilting off to the left and the cyst is immediately to the left of this tooth. Please mark the edge of black area and not the tooth, maybe two arrows are better to show the outline...Thank you! Lesion ( talk) 18:36, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Article(s): Clovelly
Request: The lighting is extremely harsh in this image. Is it possible to reduce the contrast and let the actually colors of the scene show through better? Currently the image looks almost like a black and white shot. In reality Clovelly is a very pretty place, but here it looks dark, bleak and foreboding. Thanks for anything you can do to improve this image. Invertzoo ( talk) 14:09, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

@Invertzoo, please compare the last 3 edits ( 1 2 3) and let us know what you think. Regards, nagualdesign ( talk) 18:21, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Well, 3 looks pretty good to me, but I am not an expert. Maybe it is a little tiny bit too color saturated still? Could the image be made a smidgen less color saturated but overall a tiny bit lighter and a tiny bit less contrasty? Invertzoo ( talk) 22:33, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Sorry to have caused a fuss over one not very good image! Certainly it is now a lot better than it was, and the framing of the scene is good because it shows virtually the whole of the village as it fronts on the sea. However, the other Clovelly image that Nilfanion found is far better lit, so maybe I should use that... or both. Sorry again and thanks again everyone! Invertzoo ( talk) 00:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

NOTE: Again, for the second time in a week now when a request is marked " Request taken." that means that it has been accepted and is being worked on by an editor, and that there may well be interim versions posted by that editor during that process which are not intended to be the final edit. That also means that it is inappropriate for other editors to start posting other versions over the interim studies and instead that they would wait until the editor who accepted the request posts a " Done" tag meaning that he or she has finished before any other editor offers another version for consideration. This is only common courtesy and avoids wasted effort.

Centpacrr, why do you keep reverting yourself? What goes on in that brain of yours?? – JBarta ( talk) 04:19, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
@Centpacrr, just to be clear, nobody reverted any of your contributions to this image apart from yourself. You uploaded, reverted, uploaded then reverted, leaving the original. I uploaded a straightened version and an adjusted version in quick succession. You then reverted my edit back to one of your previous edits (which you'd previously reverted), then reverted again leaving us back at square one. And finally I uploaded my final edit. That's as clear as mud, right? So when you said, "Study withdrawn because the approach appeared to be rejected by Mr. Haythornthwaite", (emphasis mine) I'm not sure where you got that impression. To be honest I think you were ready to revert me come what may because you feel so often rejected, and the explanation you gave spoke volumes. I'm sorry if you feel that way. I only ever wish to make constructive criticism, and that may come across as victimisation given the frequency of reverts you get on here. I assure you that's not the case. Having said that please take this onboard; 4 out of the 9 changes to this image file were reverts, without any explanation as to why, and that is not an effective way to collaborate. nagualdesign ( talk) 11:39, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
I changed the article back to the way it was, though still left the image a bit bigger. It was an interesting thought, but fell quite outside the norm for no good reason. People need to see the full size version to read it anyway so bumping it up to 350px won't do much in that regard. The two versions above are better than I imagined when I posted this request, so from my perspective you both did a great job and not only do we have a respectable version of the photo, we also have a copy of the document as it was probably printed. Folks may do with them as they may. I won't mark it resolved just yet in case you guys or anyone else wants to fiddle with them a little more. – JBarta ( talk) 15:09, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): Done - Focused on the bat'leths and also colour corrected. Kind regards, Fallschirmjäger ✉ 12:16, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
The images in that article are pretty poor IMO. I know someone who owns a bat'leth (don't ask!) so I'll see if I can get a decent photograph next time I see him. There's somewhere on Wikipedia where you can request photographs, if I'm not mistaken, and the world is full of Trekkies, so perhaps it's worth putting in a request? nagualdesign ( talk) 23:15, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Article(s): Animated cartoon, Dance, Waltz, et al
Request: I want to point out that the image is reversed and the couple is dancing from end to beginning. Any couple dancer can verify this. I have brought this issue up on the talk page of the article where it is being used, as instructed in Wiki help. Solution: the image should be flipped so that the man is holding her right hand in his left. You can easily see the reversal by looking at the text on the disc, e.g. the year 1893 is now written backwards. The couple is thus also dancing backwards, which is a little awkward for a fine picture like this. Thank you for your help. Shiokumi 23:10, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
Done - Check and make sure the result is correct. If the image hasn't updated yet, check it through
this link. –
JBarta (
talk) 23:42, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
A quick search
shows that the gentleman uses his left hand to hold the lady's right hand while waltzing, therefore the original 'mirror simulation' is correct (and Shiokumi is mistaken). The way a
phenakistoscope works is that the viewer looks through the moving slots from the rear of the plate, viewing the image face (in reverse) through a mirror. The text is not intended to be read through the slots at all, save for perhaps using the arrow to check that the spin direction is correct. Therefore the request is invalid.
nagualdesign (
talk) 00:09, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Well, it seems (to me at least) that Eadweard Muybridge made the mistake in 1893 of not reversing the images on the phenakistoscope disk. I'd recommend leaving it as it is, which is historically correct, and using the non-mirrored version in the article(s) as necessary. nagualdesign ( talk) 02:04, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you in advance! -- Caponer ( talk) 01:53, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
It's a low resolution image so the potential for improvement is limited. And it seems pretty straight to me (maybe not perfectly, but straight for all practical purposes.) As far as cleanup, the splotchy sky comes to mind, but maybe that's supposed to be clouds. I'm not feeling anything needs to be done here. – JBarta ( talk) 02:16, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
I also find it amusing that nowhere but the caption of the picture does one find "the Deaf and Dumb, and the Blind." God forbid we repeat such a thing or we'll blow up and be deposited straight into hell... – JBarta ( talk) 02:23, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
Gave it a white background. I didn't make a PNG version because I don't wish to support you in littering articles with poorly rendered PNG images just so you can say the background is transparent. I suppose one day the wiki-software might do a better job resizing PNG images, but until that day, JPG is a better choice. Of course if it's a special situation where a transparent background is clearly advantageous, I understand. But from what I can see, you're simply using them in articles. – JBarta ( talk) 23:25, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
Image will remain under copyright 70 years after the death of Ewald Banse. He died in 1953 so it's non-free until 2024. It can however be used on individual wikis with certain limitations. To answer your question specifically, no it cannot be coped to Commons. Further, unless it's used within WP non-free content rules, it will be deleted from here as well. I might add that the only legitimate use of the map here on en:WP is an article about the map specifically. None of the articles it's currently used in satisfies that rule. I'll add even further that a user-created map somewhat based on this map (and even others) (as long as it's not a direct copy) could be freely licensed and uploaded to Commons. If it were done in the SVG format it could also be customised to different languages. So all is not lost... you just cannot use that image. – JBarta ( talk) 15:52, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
For use on Cysts of the jaws, and possibly also odontogenic cyst.
Lesions on X-rays traditionally marked with a contrasting arrow (solid black or white, I feel white better here). The cyst is the black area surrounding the tooth in the bottom left of the image - the one which is tilting off to the left and the cyst is immediately to the left of this tooth. Please mark the edge of black area and not the tooth, maybe two arrows are better to show the outline...Thank you! Lesion ( talk) 18:36, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Article(s): Clovelly
Request: The lighting is extremely harsh in this image. Is it possible to reduce the contrast and let the actually colors of the scene show through better? Currently the image looks almost like a black and white shot. In reality Clovelly is a very pretty place, but here it looks dark, bleak and foreboding.

@Invertzoo, please compare the last 3 edits ( 1 2 3) and let us know what you think. Regards, nagualdesign ( talk) 18:21, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Well, 3 looks pretty good to me, but I am not an expert. Maybe it is a little tiny bit too color saturated still? Could the image be made a smidgen less color saturated but overall a tiny bit lighter and a tiny bit less contrasty? Invertzoo ( talk) 22:33, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Sorry to have caused a fuss over one not very good image! Certainly it is now a lot better than it was, and the framing of the scene is good because it shows virtually the whole of the village as it fronts on the sea. However, the other Clovelly image that Nilfanion found is far better lit, so maybe I should use that... or both. Sorry again and thanks again everyone! Invertzoo ( talk) 00:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

That also means that it is inappropriate for other editors to start posting other versions over the interim studies and instead that they would wait until the editor who accepted the request posts a " Done" tag meaning that he or she has finished before any other editor offers another version for consideration.

Centpacrr, why do you keep reverting yourself? What goes on in that brain of yours?? – JBarta ( talk) 04:19, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
@Centpacrr, just to be clear, nobody reverted any of your contributions to this image apart from yourself. You uploaded, reverted, uploaded then reverted, leaving the original. I uploaded a straightened version and an adjusted version in quick succession. You then reverted my edit back to one of your previous edits (which you'd previously reverted), then reverted again leaving us back at square one. And finally I uploaded my final edit. That's as clear as mud, right? So when you said, "Study withdrawn because the approach appeared to be rejected by Mr. Haythornthwaite", (emphasis mine) I'm not sure where you got that impression. To be honest I think you were ready to revert me come what may because you feel so often rejected, and the explanation you gave spoke volumes. I'm sorry if you feel that way. I only ever wish to make constructive criticism, and that may come across as victimisation given the frequency of reverts you get on here. I assure you that's not the case. Having said that please take this onboard; 4 out of the 9 changes to this image file were reverts, without any explanation as to why, and that is not an effective way to collaborate. nagualdesign ( talk) 11:39, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
I changed the article back to the way it was, though still left the image a bit bigger. It was an interesting thought, but fell quite outside the norm for no good reason. People need to see the full size version to read it anyway so bumping it up to 350px won't do much in that regard. The two versions above are better than I imagined when I posted this request, so from my perspective you both did a great job and not only do we have a respectable version of the photo, we also have a copy of the document as it was probably printed. Folks may do with them as they may. I won't mark it resolved just yet in case you guys or anyone else wants to fiddle with them a little more. – JBarta ( talk) 15:09, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

The images in that article are pretty poor IMO. I know someone who owns a bat'leth (don't ask!) so I'll see if I can get a decent photograph next time I see him. There's somewhere on Wikipedia where you can request photographs, if I'm not mistaken, and the world is full of Trekkies, so perhaps it's worth putting in a request? nagualdesign ( talk) 23:15, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Article(s): Animated cartoon, Dance, Waltz, et al
Request: I want to point out that the image is reversed and the couple is dancing from end to beginning. Any couple dancer can verify this. I have brought this issue up on the talk page of the article where it is being used, as instructed in Wiki help. Solution: the image should be flipped so that the man is holding her right hand in his left. You can easily see the reversal by looking at the text on the disc, e.g. the year 1893 is now written backwards. The couple is thus also dancing backwards, which is a little awkward for a fine picture like this. Thank you for your help. Shiokumi 23:10, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Done - Check and make sure the result is correct. If the image hasn't updated yet, check it through
this link. –
JBarta (
talk) 23:42, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
A quick search
shows that the gentleman uses his left hand to hold the lady's right hand while waltzing, therefore the original 'mirror simulation' is correct (and Shiokumi is mistaken). The way a
phenakistoscope works is that the viewer looks through the moving slots from the rear of the plate, viewing the image face (in reverse) through a mirror. The text is not intended to be read through the slots at all, save for perhaps using the arrow to check that the spin direction is correct. Therefore the request is invalid.
nagualdesign (
talk) 00:09, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Well, it seems (to me at least) that Eadweard Muybridge made the mistake in 1893 of not reversing the images on the phenakistoscope disk. I'd recommend leaving it as it is, which is historically correct, and using the non-mirrored version in the article(s) as necessary. nagualdesign ( talk) 02:04, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
It's a low resolution image so the potential for improvement is limited. And it seems pretty straight to me (maybe not perfectly, but straight for all practical purposes.)

Graphist opinion(s):
Gave it a white background. I didn't make a PNG version because I don't wish to support you in littering articles with poorly rendered PNG images just so you can say the background is transparent. I suppose one day the wiki-software might do a better job resizing PNG images, but until that day, JPG is a better choice. Of course if it's a special situation where a transparent background is clearly advantageous, I understand. But from what I can see, you're simply using them in articles. – JBarta ( talk) 23:25, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
