Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop

The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
This specific page is the requests page for the illustration workshop. Anyone can make a request for an illustration to be improved or created for a Wikipedia article. Clicking the "New Request" button will bring you to a standard template for submitting requests, as well as general advice that should be followed.

Advice to requesters

All requests: Please make sure your request is "legitimate" by copyright. If the image(s) are in the public domain or freely licensed, you are fine. If the image(s) are "Fair use", there are only certain things we can do with them without falling afoul of Wikipedia's fair-use policies. If you are requesting assistance with a copyright or fair-use image, don't display it on this page; place {{GLNF|Example.png|caption|align=left}} to create a link to it. Do not add the File: extension. Our fair-use policy does not allow displaying fair-use images out of their articles on ANY account. Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed. If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}. SVG requests: Make sure your request can actually BE vectorized. Note that vector drawings are not suitable for certain applications. We generally use SVG format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such. Certain things, photographs especially, are totally impossible to vectorize. Per our non-free content policy, vectorization of copyrighted images is not permitted. If a vectorized non-free image is desired, seek out such an image from the copyright holder.

Request

Could somebody please modify the above files representing the flag and coat of arms of Plomelin, so that they look closer to the way they actually should? The proper version of the flag can be seen here and here. And the full version of the arms can be seen here (albeit obviously without the captions at the top and bottom). Thanks.

Discussion

Is the dragon meant to be identical between the coat of arms and the flag? Just asking, since that coat of arms image that you sent is by far the highest quality version I've been able to find, so I'd like to use it as a reference for both.

@DeVos Max: Yes, I agree that the dragon from the version of the COA in the link should be used as a reference in the update of both files. Thanks for your interest! Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:52, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi

Could you made a variant flag of Syria with these colors? Regards.

Discussion

Details of your request go here... -- Panam2014 (talk) 01:47, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

For now I don't see the point in changing colours. It is not uncommon that different sellers of flags use different colours. I've looked at a whole series of photos of new Syrian flags. They show different shades of gray/black and lighter/darker green, because of the (see through or not) materials used and the amount of sun that falls on the flag. Yes there are photos with a seemingly lighter green version, but there are darker green versions too. These designs seem to all refer to the usual colours of earlier versions of the Flag of Syria. However, if you have an official source stating that particular different green should be used in the new flag, we would of course change it accordingly. Groetjes, Peter (talk) 11:40, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

@Groetjes, Peter: there are no official colors and proportions for Syrian flag, especially during these period. So it is good to have variants of it here (like we have variants of the previous flag). Panam2014 (talk) 12:11, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Don't get me wrong, I understand your excitement about the changes in Syria. I hope with all my heart that they finally get a long time of peace and prosperity. Again, we don't need a picture of all colour differences due to material use, glossy, mat, fluffy, faded due to the sun, etcetera. It's really overkill if we'd have to make colour variants for all flags of the world. Flag of Syria shows that the used colour palette is actually pretty persistent. Groetjes, Peter (talk) 12:23, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

I understand. But for others countries, generally, colors and proportions are fixed by law. light green version is used since years. Panam2014 (talk) 12:50, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Again, you show me a picture of a faded flag: light green - pink - gray. Colours do fade, whether it is by weathering or by technical lighting causes while taking a photo. To me it would feel disrespectful to the people, if I'd draw such a faded flag. A new flag would be green - red - black. I've already discussed the range of colours, and why it doesn't make sense to repeat ourselves. Groetjes, Peter (talk) 14:29, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Flag of the Civil Freedom of Argentina, all articles these already appear on.

Request

Could somebody please modify the above files representing this flag? This is a detailed design of the coat of arms which should look like this . I know that what I propose looks crooked and worse than the current ones, but these are representations of a specific fabric from 1813, which is actually crooked [12]. All current reproductions in use are crooked [13][14][15][16], this is the official version [17] [18]. It is a flag of historical importance to Argentina and at the same time the official flag of one of their provinces. This flag has two versions in the proportions of 8:5 like the original and an officially existing modified version in 5:8. We currently have 3 files should also have a new coat of arms, the first representing the Jujuly flag must have an 8:5 aspect ratio, the next two representing two versions of the flag used in the commemoration. The second file should be identical to the first and we don't really need a copy, but it has already been uploaded and therefore should also be fixed. I have provided a graphic that accurately reflects the original coat of arms, but it needs to be vectorized. I also ask for the coat of arms without the white background, sent under the name "Coat of Arms Assembly of the Year XIII (Civil Freedom flag version).svg" Swiãtopôłk (talk) 19:39, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I was wondering if someone can kindly please vectorize two proposed flags of Macau? In the Macau Museum, there is an exhibit of flag designs that were purposed for the city for Macau in 1993 for use starting in 1999 when Macau was handed over from Portugal to China. The website Flags Of The World (FOTW) shows the flags featured in the exhibit and there were 15 in total. You can see the flags on FOTW by clicking on the link here https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/mo!.html. 13 of those flags are now vectorized and are on the articles listed above. That means that there are only two flags left which are the flags listed on FOTW as Proposal No. 2 https://www.fotw.info/images/m/mo!2.gif and Proposal No. 14 https://www.fotw.info/images/m/mo!14.gif.

Illustration of the GL Mk. I/II radar system

  The receiver side of the system

Article(s)

GL Mk. I radar

Request

I would like to get separate illustrations of the two main parts of the system in this article, the transmitter and receiver. The image I've linked to above is the receiver. It is not obvious due to the low quality of the image, but the important part is a series of horizontal metal rods in front of the lower truss work that form the main antenna.

The only photograph I have found of the transmitter is here. It has even less detail than the image above though. I have also found an old illustration of it, but it is blacklisted so I can only suggest that one goes to https://en . topwar . ru to their page at /199210-britanskie-i-amerikanskie-radiolokatory-perioda-vtoroj-mirovoj-vojny-ispolzovavshiesja-v-sovetskoj-pvo.html. The image is about half way down the page (yellowish). The transmitter is overall very similar to the receiver in that it is a box on top of a gun carriage, and differs mostly in the details of the antenna and truss work.

It is quite difficult to see the receiver antennas in the photograph, you can see a series of rods at the top of the lower truss, but I don't believe that is them, there is another row of rods below it but they are very difficult to make out. The illustration also lacks detail of the receiver antenna, but they would look very similar to the two seen on the transmitter.
