More Zimbabwean Coats of Arms

Article(s): Bulawayo, Chitungwiza, Mutare, Gweru, Marondera, Zimbabwe, MDC

Request: To make SVG versions of the above images. Its a lot to ask and if it can't be done, it can't be done. The flags can be made using the coats of arms once an SVG has been made for them so no need to make the COAs twice. The writing on the Chitungwiza Banner should read Pamberi Nekushandria Pamwe. The Bulawayo flag is the Bulwayo COA on a blue bkgd. It looks different in the image above but use the image as in the COA as this is the proper version. SVG Zimbabwe COA and enlarge for clarity if possible. Many thanks Mangwanani (talk) 17:16, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

  • OK, the MDC flag was easy. Some of these coats of arms, however, are at a low resolution—I'm concerned about losing detail if we try to vectorize them. That may just be me, though :) Why is the Chitungwiza COA tagged as a logo? Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:35, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Most of them are tagged as logos probably because when I uploaded them I couldn't find the right tag. To be fair they are logos in a sense... I thought the low resolution may be a problem but if it can't be done, it can't be done. The Bulawayo one is of a high resolution and the flag for it can be made by sticking the logo onto a blue background. The flag that is shown above for the Blwo flag I don't think is right as I never remember seeing the flag with a logo like that so I would stick to the logo shown as I got that off official documentation.

FOUL, TIME OUT, WHOA!!! jackaranga, why are you not tagging these with the proper {{Non-free symbol}} tag? That's what it's there for, and it's a lot less deletionist and confrontational than tagging them for deletion. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 23:24, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can get an SVG from above but I don't know how to crop in Inkscape! :S Mangwanani (talk) 21:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think there's a simple way of cropping to a selection like in PS. Simplest way I think is to create a rectangle, move it to the top layer, select all of your objects and rectangle and then go to Object > Clip > Set. The shapes are still outside of the rectangle, they just aren't shown. — ₪₪ ch1902 ₪₪ 12:42, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
One way to do this is easily is to make the entire drawing, then set the page size to cover the area you want. When the drawing is uploaded to wikipedia or viewed in a browser window, it will only show what is inside the page area. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 03:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cheatsheet to Vectorized

Article(s): For Wikipedia use, especially the {{welcome}}

Request: -- 210.203.61.15 (talk) 14:26, 11 February 2008 (UTC) Can someone convert these pdf into SVG, or redo it in SVG. Since SVG is understood by MediaWiki (display an image) and SVG is easier to translate, that should be really helpful to have them in SVG format. The wikipedia-Logo is not available in SVG, and will need to be deleted.[reply]

Graphist opinion: All done... Some fonts were messed up, but all in all, i think it looks good. Any problems? Let me know... Please fix the licenses on both vector images. I hate doing that bit, also can you add descriptions? Thanks XcepticZP (talk) 12:33, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Muahahah !!! Many Thanks !! I will tell the French about this news, to get more translations. You can also encourage your wikipedia to use the english SVG within the {welcome} template. ;) Yug (talk) 16:34, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
...:)Glad you like... PDF --> SVG conversions are incredibly easy for me, so feel free to send those my way any time. If you feel the request has been fulfilled, please change the request to done. Thanks XcepticZP (talk) 17:04, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
O.O !!! I just noticed that you upload your files on wikipedia english !! => big mistake O.o. That's fine, you just need to know that for all free images you have to upload them on wikimedia commons (see http://commons.wikimedia.org , you need to log in). Also, from now, you will have to upload all your free images on commons to allow ALL wikipedians (like Frenchs like me) to see your images. ;)
English wikipedia should just host your Fair use images, which can be use only on the englsih Wikipedia. Yug (talk) 15:42, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
^,..,^y really.... ! muahaha ! So I'm sorry to announce that your work is not finish, their are a dozen of such pdf on commons:Category:Wikimedia promotion... (soory... that make lot of work to convert them into pdf.) Please, remember you to categorize them as {{Wiki Cheatsheet}} (add this when you upload your fille on commons this will add the licence template and the category ^__^y) if you continue to convert somes . Don't rush : the French and english ones were the more need, so no worry you stop here. Yug (talk) 15:18, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okays, lol... I guess i'll go do that, then. I, for one, had no idea the other language wiki's had different media databases. Oh well, hehe... XcepticZP (talk) 16:42, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The vector versions are showing major kerning problems on my system (XP, firefox). I normally don't see many problems with SVGs, so this there any way to fix? Could also convert text to paths, but would have a much larger file size. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 02:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC) Also opening them in inkscape shows the problem is more than just a browser rendering problem. Why not just stick with the raster version--the need for fast page loads for a welcome message/cheat sheet might outweigh the limitations of not having the vector version. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 02:17, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do see the problem. It says "Simply dick on the link", among many other problems. . I never quite understood why wikipedia doesn't have solid support for this. And frankly, svg text never comes out right if not converted to path. At least for me, anyways. I think it is readable, though. And I don't see any rendering problem in Illustrator. XcepticZP (talk) 18:11, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have problems loading the fonts as well -- how large are these with text converted to paths? That would be a useful comparison for laoding. I'm using FF2.0.0.7 on Mac OSX. +sj + 03:37, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Converting to paths with this much text would make the file enormous--too large to serve its intended purpose. These cheatsheets are intended for brand new users, so whatever they're presented with ought to render reliably. Can we close out this request?

Yup, like it. Namibia done. Mangwanani (talk) 16:28, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Zimbabwe

I dug out one of my old school books and found I had the Zimbabwe Coat of Arms there. Its a bad drawing done when I was small. Does this help for the SVG? Mangwanani (talk) 17:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From left to right - Wheat, cotton, corn. Mangwanani (talk) 21:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well someone has vectorised the image. It is, however, not finished. The colours of the kudus aren't quite right, the words need a bullet between them, the wavy lines need to be blue and white, Great Zimbabwe needs more brick work, the gun isnt quite (see the bitmap and the pic from my school book) and the wreath should be green and gold. Additionally, the Zimbabwe bird is wrong. See Image:Zimbabwe Bird.svg for correct version. Mangwanani (talk) 18:32, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have fixed the bird, waves and wreath. Does the shield look wonky to anyone else? Mangwanani (talk) 18:49, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If we can get more bricks onto Great Zimbabwe and make the mielie (corn, maize or other intl variations) to look more grainy then this image is done and dusted. Mangwanani (talk) 18:10, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Lesotho

I've done Lesotho. It seems there was a typo on the scroll on the raster version, according to all other sources I could find the motto is "Khotso, Pula, Nala" not "Khoto, Pula, Nala". It's corrected on the vector version.

Could you make the crocodile slightly more scaly as in the raster? Mangwanani (talk) 12:04, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Vectorise flag and logo. Thanks Mangwanani (talk) 18:47, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's the need of the full BSAC coat? Looking @ the flags shows only the lion-crest and "B. S. A. C.". 68.39.174.238 (talk) 04:15, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Eh? :S Mangwanani (talk) 17:15, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The defacement of the BSAC flag is clearly not the entire coat, but just the crest of it and some text. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 17:50, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, but my request was to vectorise the COA as well as the flag. Mangwanani (talk) 18:04, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Have attempted a trace of the crest... Mangwanani (talk) 15:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

...and now the flag. Mangwanani (talk) 19:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think the thing under the lion is supposed to be more like a twisted, multicolored towel. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 20:17, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is but I don't know how to do it...Mangwanani (talk) 16:26, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've tweaked the flag a little. How's that? The lion looks amazing, by the way. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 21:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I was quite impressed with the lion myself, even with my lack of experience. Your version of the flag is, not surprisingly, better than mine. Think we'll go for your version. Mangwanani (talk) 21:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Could you fix the above flag in the manner of the flag you made for the BSAC? ThanksMangwanani (talk) 17:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As you say, thats what Flags of the World suggests. Have no idea whether the wreath should be added or not... They look great though. Thanks a million. What do you think about the BSAC crest? Mangwanani (talk) 17:32, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There's some strange stuff on the left... and the background didn't show up correctly (Too light). Also, was it supposed to be in black and white? I thought most coats would have colors. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 18:39, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: I'd like to see this converted using a better quality map of Arabia that we have on Wikipedia into an SVG. This would remove a tenuous fair use and we could use that image as a source for the locations. -- gren グレン 00:03, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think I might give this a shot, but what you do mean by "better quality map of Arabia" ? A higher resolution? A more detailed map? better representation using icons? Λua∫Wise (Operibus anteire) 17:58, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Such as this map from this page (US gov). Taking a more detailed map like that using Mecca as a basis point if it would be possible to at least make a higher resolution version (vectorizing if you want...) I don't care about color scheme or whatnot as long as it's usable. I think that map looks decen it's just small. The nice thing about SVG would be it would make it relatively easy to change the color scheme to match other maps from the page which in an ideal article would have some coordination. gren グレン 08:09, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I'm not entirely sure on whether this will help, but I had a go at vectorizing the image. I couldn't get the text to bend because Wikimedia doesn't support it currently, and the spacing doesn't work also. I've released it under GFDL/CC licenses. Tom (talk) 19:26, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: can anything be done to just plain make a better map? -- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 17:26, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I tried to find a map on google, but turned up nothing. If you find any image, non-free or not, with sufficient detail then an svg can be made from it. But the one you posted is a tiny thumbnail, nothing can be done there, sorry. XcepticZP (talk) 20:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, found a good place... [[4]]. Those maps just need to be stitched together and voila. OR, a general svg can be made of the whole ranch. XcepticZP (talk) 20:26, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I tried stitching them together manually. They don't align, courtesy of bad scanning I'm guessing. XcepticZP (talk) 20:33, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Here's a better location. Sadly, I don't have the tools to do the stitching. Xceptic, could you try again? Also, note that if that doesn't work, we can probably get the relevant maps directly from the LibreMap project. -- ʞɔıu 22:15, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please be careful of copyright. Jackaranga (talk) 23:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So long as we're using the USGS maps (which all of the ones mentioned here are), they're public domain. But yeah, we should be careful of that if we're using a BSA-published map, or something. -- ʞɔıu 06:07, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you need help using Public Domain cartographic information maybe I can help. You can get free elevation data for the USA down to a precision of 30m (I think even 10 for some parts but I have never used this). Jackaranga (talk) 14:36, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of Quebec Provincial Highways

Article(s): List_of_Quebec_provincial_highways

Request: -- There are hundreds of these to be converted to svg. Perhaps there is an easy way to do this? Any help appreciated, thanks :) 137.215.6.50 (talk) 17:19, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Are all these really necessary? It seems to me that just having one or two as examples would be enough. Apart from that though, having a base SVG without a number and then using a template something like Template:GBthumb to overlay a number would be better both in terms of number of images and ease of use on pages. Time3000 (talk) 17:32, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully, the wiki software supports the font which is used, we can then create a script to make all the files, but we will need a bot flag to upload them all or it will take forever, and may cause problems for a user if he were to upload them without a flag. Jackaranga (talk) 01:50, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
By all means, if you know how then go ahead? Do you need me to make you the initial svg? XcepticZP (talk) 17:37, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I will outline my plan hopefully it will work:
1.Create the first SVG (download the correct font) (leave the numbers as text)
2.Write a script to create all the files (incrementing the number in each one)
3.Convert the number in each file to a path using the Inkscape command line (because Mediawiki doesn't have the correct font installed for the SVG rendering)
4. Use an upload bot to upload them all to the commons. Jackaranga (talk) 20:33, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Any chance of that script being able to center the text object on the shield as well? :D Incrementing the numbers will invariably make the text asymmetrical from one file to another if it's not centered. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 20:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In Inkscape when you choose "centre lines" in the "text and font" properties window, the text stays centred, like in Word when you use the centre tool. Jackaranga (talk) 20:50, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I know; it's just that I've gotten some sketchy results in the past from using text properties. Oh well, maybe it was just me. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd really like to convert this to svg. I'll get round to it. XcepticZP (talk) 10:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It would be wrong to convert it to svg, because this is a photograph, and not a diagram or some kind of emblem (flags, medals, etc.). It would say it would be wrong to make it a svg-image.

iPod 5G vs. 6G image

Request: Please remove the background from the image and rotate the iPods so that they are vertically aligned. It Is Me Here (talk) 07:42, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: When you say rotate so that they are vertically aligned do you want them straigtened up or put one on top of the other? I'm a little confused here. Mangwanani (talk) 17:13, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just funny sounding language. As far as I understand his words, I think he wants you to just rotate the individual ipods so that the edges of the ipods are at right angles to the edges of the image. XcepticZP (talk) 20:38, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thats what I wondered but wasnt sure... Mangwanani (talk) 20:41, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I meant, yeah - it would just look neater if the iPods were vertical (i.e. at 90 degrees to the bottom edge of the picture). It Is Me Here (talk) 22:20, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This could also use some perspective correction. It's certainly doable, but removing the background will make the picture look wonky.

OK, here's an attempt, with the original background (but cropped closer to the iPods). Fvasconcellos* (t·c) 23:13, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here it's: Removed background, Set the battery indicator to 100% on both, removed now playing on 6G, removed now pause indicator, removed some "stuff" from select button, tried to remove fingerprints, rotated them so the align, and some minor color correction.

Request: rotate to straight, trim, lighten for detail -- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 06:29, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I've had a go. There's some oddites - like that string - that made this image a bit awkward. I had to selectively remove some highlights, and don't think this end result is perfect. I found the levels adjustment a little awkward because the sky kept blowing out whenever I tried to fix the shadowed lower part of the picture. Eh, well. This'll do for tonight. It's actually slightly trapezoidal [or wedge-shaped], so it cannot be made perfectly straight - this isn't uncommon for Victorian engravings - but I tried to compromise. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 22:37, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is great and I really appreciate it! Can anyone help with those adjustment levels? Thanks! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 00:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just a warning: The photograph is very very slightly blurred. Not enough to matter in normal use, but enough that fine details are just a little lighter and more "spread out" than they should be, meaning they could easily be lost or damaged unless any levels adjustment from this point on is extremely careful, and at the least, makes use of masking to protect the more delicate areas. I saved a unadjusted copy, by the way, so if you think this version is too dark, it's not too hard to go back and tweak some more. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 00:47, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Basically two ways—you can use a clipping path (create a crop-sized rectangle, place above the paths you'd like to crop, select all, do Object > Clip > Set) or Boolean intersection (create a crop-sized rectangle, place above the paths you'd like to crop, select all, do Path > Intersection, repeat until all paths are cropped).

Converted the flag to SVG here Image:Iceland President Flag without box.svg, I can't get the white box to work so left it out. Could someone else add it?

Aztec glyphs

Article(s): Azcapotzalco (altepetl) and possibly others

Request: Similar to my last request, an SVG glyph to represent the pre-Columbian polity of Azcapotzalco. The dots don't have to be reproduced perfectly. There are a few different ways of drawing this (see e.g. the right-hand side of Image:Tezozomoc.jpg), but this version (from the Codex Mendoza) is the most famous, and is the one the modern Mexico City borough named after Azcapotzalco based their logo on. (An SVG version of the borough's glyph might be wanted too, although I don't know if copyright allows that.) --Ptcamn (talk) 23:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Can anyone help me fix the image? It Is Me Here (talk) 10:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The problem was the flowed text. You need to use simple unflowed text (default in Inkscape 0.45.1, I can't get 0.46 yet so don't know whether it is there also). To turn flowed text to unflowed text, use the command on the Text menu. You should also save as a Plain SVG rather than an Inkscape SVG if you are not already doing so. The image doesn't appear fixed yet, as Wikipedia seems to be having trouble with thumbnailing (despite purging the cache, the thumbnail still won't correct itself), but this rendering:
shows that it does now work properly. Stannered (talk) 11:21, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
When you have a simple drawing like this, it's often useful to convert the text to paths, because this will prevent a number of other rendering errors. For example, if the user changes the default text size, the drawing's text will change unless you convert to paths. The disadvantage would be that the file size is bigger, but in this case this is a trivial concern; only when you have lots of text would it matter. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 19:16, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You also lose the ability to edit the text easily. I can't say I've noticed the issue you described - does this only occur when the SVG is actually embedded in the page, rather than rendered to PNG on the server? Stannered (talk) 20:50, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, with only a few letters, the ability to edit is not too much of a loss. The general solution to the problem of lost editability is to embed the text version in a hidden layer, though I have never had to resort to this strategy. The errors I usually see with text occur when you view in full size (for me, ffox and XP); the wikimedia thumbnail renderer usually does a good job (though not perfectly). Another problem with not converting text to paths is that the user has to have the right font installed on their machine; the inkscape default font is, I think, bitstream vera sans which is not a standard font for everyone. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 02:27, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
True enough... I use Opera and find the SVG rendering satisfactory when viewed at full size - when using Opera's zoom feature it resizes the entire image rather than just the text (the S in SVG is for scalable, after all), but it's not perfect (doesn't seem to antialias at all). Neither is the Wikimedia renderer - see issues described at commons:Commons talk:Transition to SVG. Stannered (talk) 12:31, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s):Unseen University, Portal:Discworld, many userboxes

Request: The image was poorly converted to SVG from original - reconversion/redrawing needed please. The tracing has mucked up bits like the point at the bottom, and the shadows. The worst part is that the lines are extremely rough (traced over aliasing) - they need to be completely smooth if possible. Even if that means redrawing. The SVG also has loads of extraneous lines and shapes that aren't needed, and thumbnails very badly (as seen above) - the gradients should be duplicated from the PNG. Thanks, SVG graphists.—Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 13:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I have redrawn the whole thing except for the text. I started to redraw the text but I decided it was too much work since I'm sure that font exists somewhere but I don't have it. So if somebody could add the text to this it would be complete: Image:Discworld-unseen-university-amoswolfe-2.svg Note that I have left the raster embedded which you should removed after it is finished. Also I used the blur effect for the shadows but I'm not sure if Mediawiki will render this properly (Firefox doesn't), so that might need to be removed. -- Borb (talk) 18:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a graphist, but a solution to the speed issue would be to include 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x buttons in the description portion of the thumb, each of which leads to a different image that changes at a different speed. This can be done by creating Image:PercentOfUSPopInEachState1x.gif, Image:PercentOfUSPopInEachState2x.gif, Image:PercentOfUSPopInEachState4x.gif, and Image:PercentOfUSPopInEachState8x.gif. The black color is off putting. JohnABerring27A (talk) 15:02, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Author's opinion:

こんにちは, I'm the author. Thanks for your interest in this image! Just wanted to let you know that back when I created this image, I tried various speeds, state colors, and background colors. I found that a fast speed was necessary in order to make the movement over the decades most visible... when you slow it down you just can't see the patterns of movement, which is really the whole point of the image. I also found that white --> black was the most intuitive color scheme for the states (brighter = larger share of the population) and easiest for the eye to recognize the subtle shades of difference. And I found that black was the background color that worked best with that. Still, if anyone thinks they can improve, good luck and have fun playing with it! Szu (talk) 05:15, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would change the background color to something else. The northwestern states barely show up on my monitor. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 22:33, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
They will barely show up on any monitor, and that's on purpose. States with hardly any population are hardly visible; as they get more people they stand out more. That's exactly why I chose black for the background. When I tried other background colors, the black states would become just as visible the brighter ones, drawing attention away from the important action going on in those brighter states. If you do choose another background color I'd hope it would be very dark. Szu (talk) 14:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry but that doesn't make sense. The whole point of the image is to inform people not keep them guessing and thus they need to be able to see the image to be able to use it. If they wanted to guess the information, as will be done on some monitors, they are wasting their time looking at the image as it is as far as I can say. Mangwanani (talk) 19:50, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So people who don't know when Idaho, Utah, Montana and Wyoming gained statehood just have to guess at when it's "There's not state here" and when it's "There's a state with no population here"? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 20:17, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This image doesn't distinguish between "there's no state here" and "there's a state with no population" because that's not the point of the image. This image is not trying to show when states were admitted to the union; the point of the image is just to show the general movement of population over the decades, which I think it does well and without requiring any guesswork. Still, like I said, if you guys can do better, go ahead and have fun with it!  ;-) Szu (talk) 20:51, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just going to be blunt about this. I don't think it works. I have added an image of the growth of WWII just as it was the first map I came across that I think works very well in showing its point and timeline. If we could make a new version styled on this I think would be much clearer and less, as Chris called it, Twinkle Twinkle. Mangwanani (talk) 15:46, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your bluntness. Bear in mind there are other people who do think it works. Also I should say that the fact that you propose a map of WWII conquests as a model suggests that you don't understand the point of the image. This image is not meant to provide detail of a historical event like a military battle or territorial acquisition. It's meant to show a broad social/geographic pattern, just like "Korean Peninsula at night" which I think is much more similar in purpose. But rather than complaining about this image, please go ahead and make your own version. I'll be looking forward to see what you come up with!  :-) Szu (talk) 19:12, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As I have said before and many times on this page, my graphic skills are limited. I am simply stating that in my opinion the image doesn't work. I also don't see how the Korean Peninsular can be compared to this image. It isn't twinkle twinkle and shows something completely different. Mangwanani (talk) 19:27, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, I haven't seen your comments on other images, only this one. On the surface, the WWII map may seem to be more similar: it moves, it's historical, it's a map. But in terms of purpose, "Korean Peninsula at night" is much more similar: it illustrates a broad pattern of human population in a very simple manner; it's not trying to be a precise, detailed record like the WWII map.

Article: Zimbabwean parliamentary election, 2008

Request: Someone at Talk:Zimbabwean parliamentary election, 2008 requested that a map of the House of Assembly constituency winners be made, and I started work on the project. However, I based my map on a vectorialization of Image:Zim-provinces blank.jpg, which has proven to contain some gross errors forcing me to constantly reshape provinces and constituencies. I'm in exams now and can't afford to put more time on this, so I'm here to ask for help: is someone willing to finish the job?. The current status can be seen on the left. Thanks in advance. Habbit (talk) 10:06, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:There are better maps of Zimbabwe on which this can be based. There is also this link here which has all the results and some maps also. Mangwanani (talk) 11:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, that was the website I was checking to get the results and paint the constituencies as required. The second map you posted (PNG municipalities) looks better, but some municipalities are split in several constituencies, partially due to population sizes, and also some gerrymandering. Habbit (talk) 13:43, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yup. It may well be out of date but that's the way things go sometimes. Does the final image have to be vector? Can I also ask why half of Mashonaland East is missing in your map? Mangwanani (talk) 14:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would prefer the final image to be vector, as it could be scaled as needed (say, for printing or outside Wikipedia). The final result I was trying for is something like Image:Spanish general election, 2008 - constituency winners.svg. It appears that I chose the wrong map to start with, and I might have overdid the post-vectorization "simplifying" step, so I seemingly cut off part of a province. Thus, it would be better to just start again with another map as the base (Image:Zimbabwe Locator.png looks good), but I won't be able to start in this week, or even month, since I'm in exams right now, that's why I asked for help here. Habbit (talk) 14:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine. I'm sure we can come up with something. Not sure how good my skills at vector are for this... Mangwanani (talk) 15:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have tried but I can't do it. :( My action plan (which I was attempting) was to vectorise the maps from Sokwanele (just the outlines not the colours or the writing) and then once they were all vectorised to slot them neatly into a map of Zimbabwe and then change the colours accordingly to reflect the election results. Mangwanani (talk) 19:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that's just what I was doing before. I ran into the problem of the bad map I started from (with wrong-shaped provinces), but I believe that doing so with a correct base provincial map should be relatively easy. If no-one else stands up for finishing the map in a week or so (i.e. after I finish my exams), I will restart work with a new base map. Thanks for trying, though! Habbit (talk) 20:17, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I made Image:Zimbabwe admin.svg it might be useful. Jackaranga (talk) 20:53, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. It will be extremely useful, since we won't need to create/vectorialize another map of Zimbabwe: just split/join the boundaries for constituencies, and then paint them. Thank you very much!! The only thing we're missing now is a map of the constituencies inside Harare and, iIrc, another province not available in the above website. Habbit (talk) 22:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, here's my started version. I have vectorised the constituency maps from Sokwanele and inserted them into Jackaranga's map. Mangwanani (talk) 19:32, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request:This panorama is stitched from a number of high resolution (5MP) photographs. I am very satisfied with this image though I think the colours could be slightly brighter. I am also wondering whether a different crop would balance the photograph better. I've tried various versions myself but haven't managed to come up with anything remarkably better. -- Ganeshrg (talk) 14:51, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Lightened it. Still looking for an interesting crop. What do you think? §hep • ¡Talk to me! 23:00, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It looks slightly better. Do you think cropping out the wall at the left will improve the picture? I tried that but realised that the little piece of wall gives the photo a better perspective. Would anyone think this is a Feature Picture Candidate? If yes, could somebody please help me put it up there? Thanks.

It has some visible stitching errors, maybe you could upload the individual images used to make this panorama, and let someone else try stitching for you Thisglad (talk) 15:13, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the update. Could you please inform me how/where I can upload the source images?--Ganeshrg (talk) 16:27, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can upload them at commons like you uploaded before Thisglad (talk) 16:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In the edit 1, i cropped out the parking lot on the right. I think It gives it a more uniform look. But ya, if you have all the full res images I would be easy to adjust each image by itself so they all had the same color to them and hand stitch them if there's less than 10 or so. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 19:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have put up the originals now. You can find them on this image's description page under "source". They are all 1280x960 resolution so should be small enough to download while being large enough to preserve detail. I would be grateful with anything that you can come up with. I used a Panasonic Lumix FZ20 and the EXIF info on the source photos has been retained so you can see the settings that I have used for each photo on the image description page under the "Metadata" section. The day was quite cloudy yet bright. I hope this helps. If you need any more info, feel free to ask away. Thanks.--Ganeshrg (talk) 11:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I took all that time to download your images one by one only to find that you didn't use a tripod?! There are too many individual pictures for a panorama this size. Next time, make sure your camera moves only one axis. XcepticZP (talk) 18:06, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lordy, lordy. This will take a bit. :) Always fun to have a new project. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 21:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I have to drop out of the race. The camera literally tilts angles of the houses from picture to picture. I ran it though an auto one to make sure I wasn't going crazy and it made a circle. Never seen that before. I guess I don't have the skill for this one. Sorry, and good luck! §hep • ¡Talk to me! 22:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't mind stitching this for you. But only if I had high quality source images. Instead of sizing down the images, can't you just compress them? They should be a meg that way. Assuming you have a problem uploading large images? XcepticZP (talk) 06:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for trying, Shep. @XcepticZP, is there a way I can EMAIL the large sized originals to you or upload them somewhere else instead of on wikimedia commons? Wikimedia commons is just too tedious coz you have to upload each picture one by one.

Request: Photo was taken from inside a car. Would it be possible to remove the effect of the windshield and also to enhance the contrast and sharpness? --Polaron | Talk 18:55, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Oh, and you could crop off the lower part of the picture to remove the "windshield effect"... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.101.123.219 (talk) 03:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did a quick contrast increase but there's still the irregularity in the bottom-right corner. Time3000 (talk) 15:59, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request done... Hope you like!! XcepticZP (talk) 18:13, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely much better than the original. Thank you all for your work. --Polaron | Talk 20:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: remove artifacts -- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 08:14, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Fixed... Why would people ruin images like this?! XcepticZP (talk) 18:22, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it. I'm sorry, I don't understand the context of the question. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 21:01, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well what I meant was, why on earth would someone resize the image to such a small size, and on top of that compress the hell out of it? XcepticZP (talk) 06:08, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Go-Ahead Group, Keolis, Govia, London Midland.

Request: -- Could some of the errors in this map be corrected please? I've only taken a brief look, but there are several spelling mistakes in the station names, e.g. Blakedown, not Blakedowh; Canley, not Oanley; Barnt Green not Banrt Green; some stations are incorrectly named e.g. Five Ways not "Five Flags"; just "Olton" not "Olton Green"; and some stations are missing altogether, e.g. Sutton Coldfield which should be located between Wylde Green and Four Oaks. Also the railway junction between Dorridge and Lapworth is drawn wrongly. Thanks DWaterson (talk) 00:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I have fixed the spellings and names mentioned. Havn't fixed anything else though. Mangwanani (talk) 18:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Looking over google I've found three distinct variants. One with a golden eagle, the one here, and one with the scroll bent out a bit Like here. Should I follow the one on Wikipedia, or is another version the correct one? §hep • ¡Talk to me! 00:32, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it should be a golden eagle. The official website of the Yemeni government has the golden eagle. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 15:10, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): It might be possible to use an improved imaged on the species page of several language wikis.

Request: Please improve contrast and center the picture on the parrot. There is a different species of parrot in the background on the right side of the picture; this may be distracting and would be better edited out of the photo. This is the only image that the wiki has at the present time showing the white tip of the birds tail feathers. Snowman (talk) 17:06, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I gave my hand at it. I cropped it and sharpened it a bit as there was some motion blur. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 18:21, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
