Article(s): American Civil War and related pages
Request: Convert to SVG. This one is huge, but it's not as bad as it looks. The author has put the source files on the web in FH11 and PDF format. If you open them in Adobe Illustrator, you should be able to save them in SVG format. After that, I would also recommend opening the SVG versions in Inkscape and saving as "Plain SVG". Would do it myself, but I don't have Adobe Illustrator. -- I. Pankonin ( t/ c) 03:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
Could I suggest (Since all the filenames are going to be changed) a uniform naming scheme, like "Image:[Ordinal, if need be] Battle of [nameofarticle] (ACW)[(If need be), [Month], [day/dayrange].svg" (A suggestion)? Alsp, you can get the "source" from the original author here in Freehand drawings. This might make it easier. 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 08:29, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Everything in Category:Annaba Province.
Request: The same thing as for this request: I need a vector version of the maps in the link above (it's the same map) showing the administrative borders of the municipalities and districts of Annaba Province, Algeria, but without he any text, without legends, and with no different colors. Each municipality should be individually selectable. Thanks. -- escondites 16:20, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: How many of the 48 provinces do you want to do. If it's many, I think could write an instruction page so any Inkscape newbie familiar with the basic tools could draw one. It would be fairly efficient, and a very good exercise in working with paths. Plus yielding nice results. I'm horribly backed at present, and shouldn't take on anything additional right now.
The corollary question: Are there some people out there who would be interested in giving this a go? Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 06:00, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Russia
Request: Can someone please reproduce this excellent Britannica image I found of the growth of Russia? [2] Obviously I can't upload the Britannica image and I also wanted to make it chronological moving image like this [3], but this is not necessary. Best regards,-- Miyokan ( talk) 07:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
I don't know why these other images were put up but I requested whether it would be possible to reproduce this [4] Britannica image rather than work with any of these existing images.-- Miyokan ( talk) 10:23, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
left. Or today's Russia and all the other countries of the region. latitude and longitudes line like the German map. a raster, png.preferred svg is OK, I can convert it if necessary. What the German map does tell me is that I can transform a conic projection into a cylindrical projection reasonably well. I should be able to use the French data and copy the expansion in the west, and use the german map for the east. Then we'll need a translator to figure out what is what.
Article(s): Puerto Rican Independence Party
Request: can this be made just a regular flag graphic? I am including the Flag of Sweden because the flag and the cross thickness seem to be the same proportions -- Chris (??? • ????) ( talk) 00:20, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: This is fine? aliasd· U· T 01:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Gai-Jin (novel)
Request: lighten for detail and straighten -- Chris (??? • ????) ( talk) 04:16, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:Increased brightness and contrast and rotated ever so slightly. Not sure if it matches the book in real-life... it still looks off-centre of course, but that would be a more involved fix and require more guesswork (assuming that it is even off-centre). ---- Seans Potato Business 21:24, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Any SVG artists here with an interest in the basics of mechanical engineering? We have currently two images on 60° standard screw threads can could use some improvement:

Comment: to fix the arrowheads not rendering, all you need do is convert the arrow's stroke to a path (Object Menu/Stroke to Path). -- Dave the Rave (DTR) talk 18:04, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
Article(s): Unified Thread Standard
Request: Problems:
Both images are really meant to show (almost?) the same thing, and should be unified into a single common design. The only significant difference (if any) is that D and D1 are swapped between the two. ISO screw threads are named after the major (=outermost) diameter of the thread, which is called D. I don't know why the US screw thread diagrams labels the minor diameter with D, this might just be a mistake in the diagram. All other differences are just artists preference and there is no reason why these two images should look any different from each other. Markus Kuhn ( talk) 20:17, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
Article(s): Colorado College
Request: Since we're doing the University of Oklahoma map above... the dimensions are at http://www.coloradocollege.edu/welcome/campus_map/ -- Chris (クリス) ( talk) 07:16, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Yes, we are doing U of OK, but we are not enthused. I don't mind the drawing, but labeling. . . CC doesn't look as bad for that. I did U of OK because I thought it looked bad for the lab to have things sit there for long. I should be getting my backlog of stuff cleared out. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 07:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC) COA of Nepal is moving along well. I'll start on this in a few days, unless someone else wants it. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 19:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): Boy Scouts of America
Request: lighten for detail -- Chris (クリス) ( talk) 06:17, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Adjusting Brightness/contrast to see the mountain results in a washed out sky. Which can be fixed, although a close examination of the skyline might reveal some flaws. Most of which disappeared with downsampling (3000px to 1500). Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 21:55, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): Ian Smith
Request: Would it be possible to separate the image from the signature and then to create a SVG version of the signature as done with the Mugabe signature? Mangwanani ( talk) 18:56, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Do you know about copyright in signatures ? I was thinking about nominating the one for Mugabe for deletion, but decided against, as it seemed a bit unkind, just after someone had gone to the effort of vectorising it. I don't know about any special dispositions for copyright on signatures, I'm thinking they are probably copyrighted, but I might be mistaken, unless you know for sure, maybe a little research or a question at WP:COPYRIGHT would be in order, before putting effort into something which might be deleted. Also I see the image is fair-use so making a vector version would not be allowed. (can't make derivatives of copyrighted material) Jackaranga ( talk) 19:17, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
I think we're done, at least with the image, the debate will probably never end. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 02:29, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
Articel: As linked in the image above
Request: Trim the space around the logo (There's alot of transparent buffering). Also, this looks easy to SVG, but it's not a widely used logo, so I'm hesitant to request it; does anyone thing it would be useful to do so? 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 00:12, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: It would be useful to know what font is used... Anyway, what do you think? -- escondites 17:08, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Request: clean up aging, brighten, perhaps graphically mask out the adhesive holder at the top, trim out, in short, do do that voodoo that you do so well (apologies to Cole Porter) -- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 04:33, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Here's my humble attempt. -- escondites 16:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Articels: {{ US-company-stub}}
Request: SVGify, using the two stated sources, and maybe remove the whitespace around the edges. 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 23:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Oppinion: I've got a couple of ideas I'd like to try. 1 Reversing the icon right to left, so the smoke and flag both indicate the same wind direction. 2 raising up the smoke so it does not go in front of the flag. (Or will this mess up a whole set of icons?) Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 05:58, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosthaphaeresis
Request: I am no artist and this is my first attempt at a vector image. A more polished and perhaps more realistic replacement may be needed. To make it more realistic, I think the sliding attachment point for the second string (black oval) should instead be represented by a sliding attachment like the cursor on a traditional slide rule, and the bars should have a more detailed (and readable) set of scales. -- IPiAweKid ( talk) 06:26, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Interesting concept. It is mathematically sound. It ought to have spirit level as it would be essential to keep the lower bar level. I suspect that such a device would never approach the 0.2% accuracy that was expected from the traditional slide rule. It of course, still lacks the trig, log, and exponential functions of the good ol' slipstick. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 06:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Article(s):Many. See image page.
Request:Vectorize. Please and thanks. -- escondites 17:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Here's my effort at it. If you can find a bigger/better raster version I could add more detail to the tree and vegetation. Will this work? Jeff Dahl ( Talk • contribs) 09:07, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Article(s): Walter W. Head
Request: brighten and contrast -- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 05:23, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Ok, I did the best I could. I didn't lighten it too much, cause then all the artifacts and grainy details come out. I did try to make it look better, but a better source is definately needed. Btw, please check the copyright details on the pic, I'm not sure I put the right one in. XcepticZP ( talk) 15:46, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Arab League
Request:Can this be vectorized, perhaps by modifying the slightly different version that can be obtained at the flag of the Arab League? TIA. -- escondites 18:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Here it is. I also re-did the Arabic text on the flag and both images now have 22 links in the chain that symbolize the current 22 member states. Jeff Dahl ( Talk • contribs) 22:42, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Request: SVGification, please :-) -- escondites 21:17, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Oppinion: I left a message on the author's talk page, because I don't think anything I could make would measure up. I've disassembled one of his images before. He's very talented.

Request: Most people liked the newer versions, but disliked certain aspects, especially the blue. You graphics people should be able to make them a lot better, though. See Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Redesign_of_placeholder_images for previous discussion, including rationale. — Omegatron 13:46, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: A few specifics of what you would like done would be really helpful at generating interest. — Cronholm 144 08:09, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
What about Image:No Photo Available.svg with the outline of a battleship in the background? (It's almost solely used for old Federal/DANFS ships, so you aren't likely to have much trouble there. 68.39.174.238 02:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
I posted this on the Village pump on this topic: I'd like to see the request be small, italic, and bracketed. I came here from WP talk: Avoid self-references; my issue with the proposals is that they mix content and Wikipedia "meta-content" without enough clarity. Most of the meta-content in Wikipedia is italic, including disambiguations, citation needed, and stub notices. (The only meta-content not in italics are framed things like NPOV.) How about either (1) change "Click here to upload one" to smaller text in the top right that says upload a picture or (2) get rid of the silhouette and go with a frame that looks more like the NPOV, perhaps with the text "No free image exists. You can help Wikipedia by providing one."? Consider these two versions, which make an effort to be clear about what is meta-content:
I think these are less like "...where he died in 1862. Have more information? Click here to edit the article." and more like "...where he died in 1862.day of death needed" —Ben FrantzDale 14:31, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Article(s): see above.
Request: I had a go at making an image like Image:Nocover-upload.png in the style of Image:No male portrait.svg for a 'there is no CD picture' thing. I'd like to know what people think, and if anybody still cares about these placeholder images. -- Dave the Rave (DTR) talk 17:26, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Article(s): Template:GeoTemplate / Template:GeoTemplate/sandbox / Template:GeoTemplate/sandbox/main.css
Request: There's been some work recently to improve the coordinate service list Wikipedia links to, and one of the proposals uses icons to signify the type of service (see example). They're perhaps understandable-ish in the proposed context, but at least the map icon needs improvement. Could someone draw or place something on it so that it looks like a map, while being different enough from the satellite icon but still keeping the same style? The hybrid one might need modification accordingly. -- Para 14:59, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I had a quick go at the hybrid because I'm going on holiday for 5 days from tomorrow. Oh and for anyone who wants to continue this, the SVG's of this theme are available here (And the palette for the theme is included in it, might be useful) . > Rugby471 talk ⚔ 18:00, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
What about using this for the satellite: Rocket000 05:14, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Blacklemon67: Why so much perspective distortion? I think it makes it harder to recognize. And perhaps the white street lines on the hybrid should be thicker so there' more visual difference to the sattelite icon. -- Ddxc 11:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Article(s): edit toolbar (not an article, part of site interface)
Request: We have recently added a button for producing "ref" tags to the edit toolbar — see Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Put button for "ref" tags in edit window toolbar. There were several icons already available for this purpose (see above), and the person who implemented it used the button on the second-to-right. However, it might be better to have a more intuitive icon, whose purpose would be more obvious to newbies. Any ideas on design? Thanks.-- Pharos ( talk) 21:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion:
You could depict a footnote, the result of a ref, with the number standing out: '…ere2.' ¦ Reisio ( talk) 07:28, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
To avoid the button looking like a superscript button, have the text be something like "ref2" -- BsayUSD [Talk]π [contribs] 21:12, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Request: We should have each year a new version which is uptodate. Thanks. -- Kolossos ( talk) 19:16, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: This would probably a fairly easy project if some one would clearly state the changes that are needed. 1. What needs to be removed. 2. What needs to be added. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 18:17, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I hate to say it, but this one looks trashworthy. This will probably end up being the 1st in out (nonexistent) page of "We wont do these..." since the data to create the graph appears to be not discoverable or non decipherable. 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 19:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
---- Seans Potato Business 11:31, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): OE-PCR
Request: This is an unusual request, in that I actually want to do the work myself. I created the above image a long time ago without the intention of using it on Wikipedia, but rather to explain to a single person what OE-PCR is. I'm trying to learn to create my own graphics (particularly interested in molecular biology illustrations) and this image should be a good, simple project to start with. The only things being displayed in the above image are arrows and DNA strands. Would Inkscape be my best option? I've seen nice work with Creature House Expression. I would like to show individual base-pairs so I can emphasise the mis-matches and ideally, I'll be able to tweak the proximity of the strands, as if they were paths in Inkscape.
I would like my base-pairs to look like these:
I would like the base-pairs to have the letter sequence inside each base as in the first example.
-- Seans Potato Business 03:17, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: As far as software goes, Inkscape is what's usually used for wikipedia, probably because it's free and uses SVG as its native format, so you don't have to convert any of the files. AFAIK, creature house isn't free and has the same kind of features so unless you've already got a copy you're probably better off going for inkscape. Time3000 ( talk) 17:05, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
-- Slashme ( talk) 14:07, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Oh, by the way, you'll be drawing arrows, so let me fill you in on the first inkscape vs wikipedia gotcha that you will hit: The arrowheads that inkscape makes are not supported in wikipedia, so you have to convert your arrowheads to paths. Also, I've found that saving a file as "plain svg" helps not only to make the file smaller, but generates output that is more likely to be compatible. -- Slashme ( talk) 14:11, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually I think this is done, as it was a request for information rather than a request for an image. If we can Sean back to his Potato Business to mark it done. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 01:21, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Article(s): Poliomyelitis_eradication
Request: i think jpg is not the best format for a map. -- → Pepper / ? 18:33, 6 January 2008 (UTC) (Note, actual user User:PepperIT)
Graphist opinion: I personally think an SVG version of this map would be much too large (over 1.5 MB), but I've uploaded one anyway. From the vector version (quite easy to make from Image:BlankMap-World6, compact.svg), I've also generated a PNG, which I recommend be used in the article. I also took the liberty of updating the map with data from the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, since the original JPG didn't mention a source; the map should now match the table over at Poliomyelitis eradication—or the table needs to be updated :) Best, Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 23:38, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: I can do this quite easily: this afternoon when I get home I'll check whether the request is still open, and if no-one has beat me to it, I'll sort it out. -- Slashme ( talk) 10:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, had to replace this request as it got deleted by accident some time today. I'll have a look at it in a few hours. -- Slashme ( talk) 18:48, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
OK, due to power brownouts, an early morning tomorrow and a wife who insists that we go to bed :-| I am only uploading an incomplete job. The source data and gnuplot script are in the svg file at the end. -- Slashme ( talk) 20:34, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
I have now removed the titles from the graph itself to make it easier to re-use the chart on other language articles, and put it into the image description page in a form that can be cut and pasted into a caption. I have also corrected the x-axis numbers (I had them as single years to make the plotting easier, but now they are ranges.)

Graphist opinion: I'm not sure this is an improvement, and the more you do, the more it looks retouched.

Graphist opinion: Well, the image is easy enough, but damn, you need it spelled rihgt? Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 02:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC) It was fairly easy to get a png with a white background from PS. I've not been able to get inkscape's tracer to do more than trace an exceptionally good black and white, and then it seems to have to be large. Others may very well be able to do more with it. Slashme and probably others can generate svg's of such things from raw data, making very nice and very accurate images. The other question is how long before this needs to be updated? Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 05:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
I hope I am asking this at the right place, if not can someone please redirect me? I've created a page about Ralph Millard, a plastic surgeon who pioneerd a procedure in repairing a cleft lip. To illustrate the procedure I created two images:

Request: First, can the "11" in Governorate 11 be changed to use the same font as the rest of them; secondly, can you create 1 for each governorate (After the pattern of the one shown above) to replace the JPEG images there now? I don't think you need to implement the huge salt plain in the SVG. Thanx, 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 02:13, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Oppinion:There are already maps for each governorate (created by me 4 months ago *brag*) at Category:Governorates of Tunisia, even tough only the French wiki uses them AFAIK. I corrected the "11", and made other tiny changes. Resolved? BTW: I found out that the guys at the Arabic Wiki use a different numbering, shown here, probably it's the right one which should also be used on this map, I mean, it's their country after all. -- escondites 17:03, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
All images replac'd on the Governorate pages, one question though, what's with the border difference between Image:TN-14.svg and Image:Tunisia medenine gov.jpg? I know they can't be exactly the same, but that appears large enough to be worth asking about. Thanx again, 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 02:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:
Comment: I do not have "eagles eyes", but it seems to me that the rivers on the eastern chuck are already blue, I might be wrong, or there is something wrong with the LCD, or I did not note them. A more experienced graphist could help here. Also, I tried to SVGify it via Inkscape, and I have to be honest with you, it will take a lengthy amount of time to accomplish this feat. Brightness cutoff at 0.5, or edge detection at 1, or color quantization at 50-all with 0.85 tolerance- would not work, perhaps because the large quantity of details in this rather low resolution image. Well, this would mean that all text sould be rewritten again using Arial, and then colouring the traced map... very time-consuming but doable nonetheless.I am sorry I could not be of help here, but an experienced graphist as I said before, could perhaps do the job better and faster, but not me :-(.

Oppinion: I have seen perhaps a dozen slightly different State Seals of Montana in use by different parts of the state government. (Particularly when simplified to make a patch for a uniform, state highway patrol, for example.) In the case of this, I think our image should be more like a government version than the others. I made a version of one of the Indonesian government versions which appears above. It's obviously not drawn by hand, but isn't just an Inkie trace either. Tell me what you think.

So the 3rd one looks like it? 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 13:24, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
The black part of the shield was originally 4 parts, but I combined them. It now only has 5 nodes, and the two at the top corners have been aligned to horizontal by Inkscape. With Inkscape you can zoom in until one pixel is about 2 inches, and the top of the black is absolutely straight and level. But I do see some of this effect a times. I believe it is an optical illusion where bright objects (white) appear larger than darker (red) ones. The new moon's crescent vs. the dark part of the moon lighted by earthshine. You can zoom in on the MW version a little by using Microsoft's magnifier Start>>Programs>>Accessories>>Accessibility>>Magnifier If you're an eyeglass wearer with a strong prescription (I am) you can cause a little of this by llooking through the top edge of your lenses vs the bottom edge. (Chromatic Aberration) I added a couple more feathers on top of the disappearing ones. Which seem not to disappear in MW. (????) The feathers on the legs still "move" when viewed in MW as opposed to Firefox or Inkscape, but look still look acceptable. I invite anyone with Inkscape to zoom in for a close look at the shield. I put up a version with the image set to 6000px wide so you can take a close look. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 07:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Request: Problems:
Both images are really meant to show (almost?) the same thing, and should be unified into a single common design. The only significant difference (if any) is that D and D1 are swapped between the two. ISO screw threads are named after the major (=outermost) diameter of the thread, which is called D. I don't know why the US screw thread diagrams labels the minor diameter with D, this might just be a mistake in the diagram. All other differences are just artists preference and there is no reason why these two images should look any different from each other. Markus Kuhn ( talk) 20:17, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking about nominating the one for Mugabe for deletion, but decided against, as it seemed a bit unkind, just after someone had gone to the effort of vectorising it. I don't know about any special dispositions for copyright on signatures, I'm thinking they are probably copyrighted, but I might be mistaken, unless you know for sure, maybe a little research or a question at WP:COPYRIGHT would be in order, before putting effort into something which might be deleted. Also I see the image is fair-use so making a vector version would not be allowed. (can't make derivatives of copyrighted material) Jackaranga ( talk) 19:17, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Request: I am no artist and this is my first attempt at a vector image. A more polished and perhaps more realistic replacement may be needed. To make it more realistic, I think the sliding attachment point for the second string (black oval) should instead be represented by a sliding attachment like the cursor on a traditional slide rule, and the bars should have a more detailed (and readable) set of scales. -- IPiAweKid ( talk) 06:26, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Interesting concept. It is mathematically sound. It ought to have spirit level as it would be essential to keep the lower bar level. I suspect that such a device would never approach the 0.2% accuracy that was expected from the traditional slide rule. It of course, still lacks the trig, log, and exponential functions of the good ol' slipstick. Sagredo ⊙☿♀♁♂♃♄ 06:28, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I posted this on the Village pump on this topic: I'd like to see the request be small, italic, and bracketed. I came here from WP talk: Avoid self-references; my issue with the proposals is that they mix content and Wikipedia "meta-content" without enough clarity. Most of the meta-content in Wikipedia is italic, including disambiguations, citation needed, and stub notices. (The only meta-content not in italics are framed things like NPOV.) How about either (1) change "Click here to upload one" to smaller text in the top right that says upload a picture or (2) get rid of the silhouette and go with a frame that looks more like the NPOV, perhaps with the text "No free image exists. You can help Wikipedia by providing one."? Consider these two versions, which make an effort to be clear about what is meta-content:

Request: This is an unusual request, in that I actually want to do the work myself. I created the above image a long time ago without the intention of using it on Wikipedia, but rather to explain to a single person what OE-PCR is. I'm trying to learn to create my own graphics (particularly interested in molecular biology illustrations) and this image should be a good, simple project to start with. The only things being displayed in the above image are arrows and DNA strands. Would Inkscape be my best option? I've seen nice work with Creature House Expression. I would like to show individual base-pairs so I can emphasise the mis-matches and ideally, I'll be able to tweak the proximity of the strands, as if they were paths in Inkscape.
I would like my base-pairs to look like these:
I would like the base-pairs to have the letter sequence inside each base as in the first example.
-- Seans Potato Business 03:17, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: As far as software goes, Inkscape is what's usually used for wikipedia, probably because it's free and uses SVG as its native format, so you don't have to convert any of the files. AFAIK, creature house isn't free and has the same kind of features so unless you've already got a copy you're probably better off going for inkscape. Time3000 ( talk) 17:05, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, by the way, you'll be drawing arrows, so let me fill you in on the first inkscape vs wikipedia gotcha that you will hit: The arrowheads that inkscape makes are not supported in wikipedia, so you have to convert your arrowheads to paths.

I've not been able to get inkscape's tracer to do more than trace an exceptionally good black and white, and then it seems to have to be large. Others may very well be able to do more with it.

Comment: I do not have "eagles eyes", but it seems to me that the rivers on the eastern chuck are already blue, I might be wrong, or there is something wrong with the LCD, or I did not note them. A more experienced graphist could help here. Also, I tried to SVGify it via Inkscape, and I have to be honest with you, it will take a lengthy amount of time to accomplish this feat. Brightness cutoff at 0.5, or edge detection at 1, or color quantization at 50-all with 0.85 tolerance- would not work, perhaps because the large quantity of details in this rather low resolution image. Well, this would mean that all text sould be rewritten again using Arial, and then colouring the traced map... very time-consuming but doable nonetheless.I am sorry I could not be of help here, but an experienced graphist as I said before, could perhaps do the job better and faster, but not me :-(.

The black part of the shield was originally 4 parts, but I combined them. It now only has 5 nodes, and the two at the top corners have been aligned to horizontal by Inkscape. With Inkscape you can zoom in until one pixel is about 2 inches, and the top of the black is absolutely straight and level. But I do see some of this effect a times. I believe it is an optical illusion where bright objects (white) appear larger than darker (red) ones. The new moon's crescent vs. the dark part of the moon lighted by earthshine. You can zoom in on the MW version a little by using Microsoft's magnifier Start>>Programs>>Accessories>>Accessibility>>Magnifier If you're an eyeglass wearer with a strong prescription (I am) you can cause a little of this by llooking through the top edge of your lenses vs the bottom edge. (Chromatic Aberration) I added a couple more feathers on top of the disappearing ones. Which seem not to disappear in MW. (????) The feathers on the legs still "move" when viewed in MW as opposed to Firefox or Inkscape, but look still look acceptable. I invite anyone with Inkscape to zoom in for a close look at the shield.

Article(s): Republic of Formosa
Request: The article has two similar flags, neither vectorized. They are different(cloud color), but I'm not sure which is the right one. So, I'd like both of them vectorized. -- Jedravent ( talk) 16:35, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: How's this? I'm happy to make adjustments, but without a bigger bitmap image to work from it's hard to improve on the style. A period NY Times article says the emblem is on a blue field, so I used flag 1 as the model for color, but it can be changed very easily. Jeff Dahl ( Talk • contribs) 19:32, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Request: SVGify, make oceans white and borders between nations to match Wiki standardized maps -- Chris (??? • ????) ( talk) 23:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: Maybe we should open up a discussion on this. The template {{ Three worlds}} says it's during the cold-war era, but other countries mentioned on the talk page are in their present state, not what they were in the cold war according to the comments.

Request: SVGify. You can get the center logo from the state flag (Already an SVG), turn it to black and white, and then add the surrounding text. 68.39.174.238 ( talk) 04:08, 11 February 2008 (UTC) (PS. Could you also upload the SVG with a more explicit name? "NY COA seal" sounds like "New York Coat of Arms seal", which is erroneous. Thanx)
Oppinion: How's this? The font is Georgia, which is the best match I could find based on the small raster version. I wasn't able to find any higher res version on their website or google image search. I also took a guess that those dots separating the text are stars.

Graphist opinion: I really do not understand what junk you want removed. I see some scaffolding of some sort. Is it really necessary to remove? I can brighten and stuff easily for this image.

Thank you very much. I am very grateful for your prompt attention. However, I was wondering if I could get a larger image resolution of the image, one that would be good enough for a letter size full page print, if possible. Kushal 18:48, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you very much. The image says "Jwa: ja la pa:" which roughly means "Greetings" in Nepal Bhasa. (If I was Flickr, I would say, "Now you know how to say hello in Nepal Bhasa!") =P
