Replacing cartoonish social distancing graphics with better ones

Article(s): Social distancing, Coronavirus disease 2019, 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic

Request

We request a remake of these graphics to adopt a more suitably encyclopedic aesthetic. See Talk:Social distancing#Cartoonishness of graphics for context. Given the prominence of these articles, any redesigns you create are likely to be seen by tens of millions of readers in the coming weeks. --Sdkb (talk) 21:42, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

(This is a duplicate of the request at commons:Commons:Graphic_Lab/Illustration_workshop#Replacing_cartoonish_social_distancing_graphics_with_better_ones.) Sdkb (talk) 21:48, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

When looking at a request for a new version of an existing image, a judgment must be made if the amount of work required is proportionate compared to the benefit to readers. I usually consider the following: Does the image actively harm reader's understanding by being inaccurate or confusing? Is the image hard to see or understand? Is the file presented in the best medium? Is it at a sufficient resolution? Does the entire image have to be recreated, or do only small edits have to be made? What format is the file? In this case, almost everything points against recreation. The only problem with the files is their style: not the content. The images present their information clearly and correctly, aside from the arbitrary scales. They are GIF files, and new animated versions would also be GIF files, so there's no improvement in format. The structure of a GIF makes it more difficult to create or edit than a still image or a regular video.

The request is also unclear about what you're actually asking for. The same images, presenting the same information in the same way, just with straighter lines? Only the animated charts, without the accompanying cartoons? --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 22:49, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Those all seem like reasonable factors to weigh, but I'd add one more big one to the list: the prominence of the article where the image is displayed. And we're talking about usage on what's likely the single most prominent article on Wikipedia right now (and the most prominent article in pretty much every other language, too, assuming it gets translated). No worries if you don't feel like taking this on, but I hope someone will. Regarding further clarity about the changes desired, that would require input from a mix of medical experts, statistics experts, and graphics experts, and I have only basic knowledge in each of those areas. Sdkb (talk) 23:57, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These cartonish illustrations are pretty good. They could become feature illusation themselves. I don't see the point to edit them sorry. Yug (talk) 00:47, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They are quite good as is, but also a bit unencyclopedic. Considerations for improvement:

Remove the "copyright" tag in the lower left corner of the first sketch - proper attributation belongs into the description at Commons, not into the picture itself
Remove the comic strips and concentrate on the curves

--Matthiaspaul (talk) 10:50, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 14:17, 29 March 2020 (UTC).~~ Sdkb This is a difficult one considering all the different aspect raised in the discussion around this. But if you can support me with feedback, knowledge and other I will try to help out.<br<z I will start from scratch but to my understanding the content is good put the packaging should be more encyclopedic (what ever that is). --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:17, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sdkb Now I have a draft for you, feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:04, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Goran tek-en thank you for working on this! The best place to get feedback is probably at Talk:Social distancing#Cartoonishness of graphics, where there is a lot more attention being paid to this. I suspect that there might be some hesitation to adopt it in the draft form you linked above, since the transition between one curve and the other isn't as smooth as in the cartoon. Sdkb (talk) 20:34, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sdkb I'm a graphic worker and we don not do research read a lot of material etc. We work on requests here, so I can't have a discussion with a lot of people on that page. It is impossible to make every one happy. You will have to take that discussion there and then tell me what you all has agreed on. Of course I will answer all questions or discuss here. Hope you understand, thanks.

You can't compare the two different ones like that. The questions should be (to my understanding), does it show the message/information that we want to give, and is in a manner that feels "encyclopedic"? --Goran tek-en (talk) 08:56, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sdkb Here are now two different versions.

Version 2
Version 1, feedback thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:32, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en: I like version 2 much better! Would it be possible to make the transition even smoother? Sorry to be so picky; I just don't see many of the others at the thread being persuaded to make the change unless it mirrors all the best elements of the cartoon. One other tweak: could you remove the "YES health care" and "NO health care" descriptions, and instead just state "healthcare capacity roof" at the line itself? Sdkb (talk) 16:40, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sdkb Draft-2. It's no problem, it has to work with your needs, otherwise there is no need for me to do this. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:07, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en: That looks a lot better; thanks! Is it time to share to the conversation at Talk:Social distancing? Should you do that or do you want me to? Sdkb (talk) 19:23, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sdkb I prefer that you work with that. If you want I can start to work on transmission. --Goran tek-en (talk) 12:52, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It might be good to wait a bit to see what others have to say first. After that, sure! Sdkb (talk) 16:42, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I'm willing to make adjustments per any suggestions or dominant consensus arrived at here. Example: one editor said he didn't like the shades of blue and pink. I would collect suggestions and make changes all at once, since generating new versions is rather time-consuming. —RCraig09 (talk) 17:38, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@RCraig09:, apologies about the duplication; I should have cross-linked between both requests rather than just from here to there. But really nice job with the graphic! Some small suggestions:

The "31" on the calendar icon is too light to read easily. Maybe make it darker, or just take it out/use a different calendar symbol that doesn't require a number?
I'd make only the part of the line that goes above the healthcare roof red, rather than the whole line during the non-flatted time period, to show more clearly that it's the part above the roof that's the problem.
The background shades look pretty good to me. My ideal for them would probably be light green on the bottom and light red on the top, since those very clearly delineate good and bad.

{{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 16:22, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

— Absolutely no problemo, User:Sdkb, and thanks for the suggestions. I'm receiving additional suggestions at Talk:Coronavirus disease 2019#RfC What image should we use. I will make a second GIF; one will have minimal or no text (for international users), and one with more text (for English-language speakers). See the 'Discussion' section of that RfC.

— Specific suggestions: There are huge problems in making each individual graph in 49 frames into two colors, sorry; I do plan to keep the rectangular background regions differently colored (green & red sound better, I agree). I purposely made the "31" lighter-toned since its sole purpose is to identify the icon as a calendar. —RCraig09 (talk) 16:45, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think the "31" should at least be changed to gray rather than red, to fit in with the rest of the symbols on the axes, which are also monochrome. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 16:49, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Per the discussion here and at Talk:Coronavirus disease 2019, I am planning to generate a GIF to replace the cartoonish File:Covid-19-curves-graphic2-stopthespread-v3.gif. I plan the new graphic to contrast curves for long-duration stay-at-home orders (successful mitigation), versus a resurgence after short-term orders (inadequate mitigation). Constructive suggestions welcomed, preferably at Talk:Coronavirus disease 2019#Replacing a second 'cartoonish' GIF. —RCraig09 (talk) 22:18, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sdkb I haven't heard anything but let me know. It's fine with me if it is not liked by the majority. It can also be turned into a static version.

Here is an animation for transmission. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:58, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en: I brought it up at the talk page in this new section, but it hasn't gotten much response yet. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 16:22, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sdkb It seems as another graphic worker is working on this to and I don't want to "compete" about this. So if you don't specificly want me to continue to work on this I withdraw my "I take". Please ping and give me a replay, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:23, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en: I think we are all set at this point, so that's fine. Apologies to you too about the duplication, and thank you for the effort you put into the version you created. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 17:31, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion 2 : raising the line

Done by RCraig09, integrated to Flatten the curve. Yug (talk) 20:53, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello RCraig09, may i call your attention to the concept of "raising the line", cited in this Flatten the curve article. They the twin concept going together. There is also a known light dip in the line when medical workers get sick. All 3 concepts (flatten, raise, dip) may gain to be represented. If you are interested, we may team up. I find the sources, you do the graphic iterations, we get a better awareness and we are all better off. Interested ? Yug (talk) 21:19, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yug: I couldn't quickly find anything at Wikimedia Commons on this specific topic (recent uploads aren't well categorized yet), but did you have something like this Vox diagram in mind? https://www.vox.com/2020/4/7/21201260/coronavirus-usa-chart-mask-shortage-ventilators-flatten-the-curve —RCraig09 (talk) 23:58, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@RCraig09: Oh, given your uploads I assumed you could create one. Yes, the Vox animations with the line raising are the thing we need. The "raise the line" (aka equip up health care infrastructures) is a powerful, critical concept to spread further into general public. An open license visual animation of it would help. Yug (talk) 09:44, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Two-concept graph is done (see gallery above). —RCraig09 (talk) 21:13, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

RCraig09, merci ! Your design is elegant I love it ! ;) I added it to Flatten the curve. Yug (talk) 20:53, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yug: De rien! There is an ongoing discussion at Wikimedia Commons re raising the line. RCraig09 (talk) 21:24, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

RCraig09, I encourage you to gather discussion on one single site for your own sanity. Feel free to do as I did on Talk:Flatten the curve : cut, paste a {moved} message. People will follow :) Yug (talk) 21:34, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and it's also important to have these kind of discussion on the Graphic Lab, so budies can give it a look, and learn from it. The Graphic Lad isn't just a place to do, it's been from its creation a place where we learn. Yug (talk) 21:39, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion 3 : realism in covid19 context ?

If you want to be more accurate, the line much be much lower. A 2y is misleadingly reassuring. The wave is far higher, as you likely know.)
As a preemptive info, I also pointed out the health care worker dip, but it's secondary and I don't have sources under hand for this right now.) Yug (talk) 09:44, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yug: (I'm not sure what you mean by "2y", but...) I'm working on a combined graphic now: "Flatten the curve, raise the line". A combined graphic will save space in articles. —RCraig09 (talk) 16:30, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. Your wave is just ~2.5 times higher than the health care capacity line. For the current epidemic, a realistic representation of the unmitigated curve is a wave 35 times taller (8 beds vs 275 patients) than the line. See page 10, fig. 3 of second diagram with waves, inspired from this research from the Imperial College COVID-19 Response Team report 9 (out of 14). Yug (talk) 16:49, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@RCraig09: Ok! I will take this issue, a simple svg will be enough. Then I can do ! Yug (talk) 17:05, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've mostly completed a Flatten+Raise graphic. It is not directed to Coronavirus specifically, since the curves will be different in different states, different regions, and the world. The animation shows the concept and not a particular pandemic or location. Given the action words, "flatten" and "raising", I think animations are much more illustrative for these topics. I don't see a need for a separate SVG. Maybe you should wait for my next GIF (in a couple of hours) before proceeding.

Second, any "dips" are a different subject which would require a large overhaul of my source files... Can you point at a specific graphic (not just an entire article) that captures what you are talking about? —RCraig09 (talk) 18:46, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yug: The two-concept animation File:20200410 Flatten the curve, raise the line - pandemic (English).gif is now uploaded and shown in the gallery above. —RCraig09 (talk) 21:13, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not 100% sure about possible copyright issues in this case (logo for private sports team), but I found a very clear vectorized version at https://cavangaa.ie/wp-content/themes/c_and_c_cavan_gaa/img/cavan-gaa-crest.svg. Since the fair use template requires low resolution images, maybe it would be best to use a small-size PNG derived from the SVG.

6 graphs for The Signpost

I'm the editor-in-chief of The Signpost. We need help making 6 graphs for the draft at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/By the numbers We're going to reprint an article that was on Medium - which is freely licensed, but it depends heavily on the graphs which they decided to make extra-fancy and are not freely licensed. See https://medium.com/@diegosaeztrumper/open-data-and-covid-19-wikipedia-as-an-informational-resource-during-the-pandemic-dcca6a23e826 . I don't want exact copies, just something of similar format, that will represent the authors' ideas. The data is freely available from the WMF and I have it.

The color of the lines should be the same (the colors are mentioned in the text, though I can change the text of course)

Figure 4 is something of a problem - a dynamic horizontal "racing" bar chart with pictures instead of colors. Too fancy as as see it. I could see a static graph, using only the end time, colors, but keep the horizontal. We'll link to the fancy graphs so readers, if they want them, can have all the extras they like. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 23:13, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

HELP NEEDED: I have completed the SVG file, but there is a problem:

I'm not sure the logo can properly be uploaded to Commons, because it may have the originality needed to merit copyright protection. The (existing Commons logos for this university) claim there is a Creative Commons license, but I don't see such a license in their sources.
The logo is in the Italian language, so I don't want to upload it to en.wikipedia (under fair use).
I am not authorized to upload it to it.wikipedia because I am not auto-confirmed there.

Therefore: I think someone who is auto-confirmed on it.wikipedia should upload. A dropbox link to the completed SVG file is here.

Connacht emblem - armour to clothing

Arms of Connacht from 1651, in which the arm is wearing a clothed sleeve instead of armour.
File:All Ireland province emblems flag.svg

Article(s): Any articles these files already feature on.
Request: Alright, I know this may seem like a tall order, but could some please edit the sword arm on the Connacht emblem on all the above files (except for the first one of course) so that the arm is wearing clothing instead of armour, which would bring it more into line with the earliest depiction of the Connacht arms from 1651, as seen in the first file above.

@Snow Lion Fenian: To be honest my edits are not that closely related to your request as you may believe. Nevertheless I'm aware of the issue. Arvedui89 (talk) 07:43, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Arvedui89: What exactly do you mean, if I may ask? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 12:02, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Snow Lion Fenian:: As you probably noticed one user back in 2013 uploaded whole range of Irish provincial flags, coats of arms, flag maps etc and overwritten most of already existing files. As a results there were plenty of files using exactly the same elements. In my opinion the biggest problem was in fact coat of arms of Connacht - arm with a sword was taken from some Hungarian range of coats of arms and the other half – half-eagle – was from some very specific double-headed eagle template from Commons. Problem is it didn't look like any historical CoA nor like modern versions of it. Worst thing was that some files like mentioned above File:IRFU flag.svg made their way into real life: were manufactured and sold at Amazon etc. and then brought into the stadium. And that's a shame as they were ahistorical, incorrect from heraldic point of view and . So after a long long time I decided to clean up this mess, try to delete unused weird versions and doubles, redraw them to make them look like Irish emblems, tot some Renessaince Spanish wannabe-eagles. I'm still using free Commons files, but I try to make them look more accurate. And while nominating some files to deletion I checked their usage and some of them appeared to be on this page. Timing was a clear coincidence. By the way for any further discussion I will suggest my or your talk page. Arvedui89 (talk) 18:57, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Atmospheric absorption of radio waves chart

Existing reference image
Newly uploaded SVG

Article(s): This is needed as an alternative to File:Atmospheric electromagnetic opacity.svg which is, or has been in the past, inappropriately used in several articles. That file shows the Earth to space absorption whereas the new chart requested if for terrestial (or air to ground) link absorption.
Request: Please create an svg chart based on the one on page 5-1.1 of this document. A suitable license is {{PD-USGov-Military-Navy}}. Thanks -- SpinningSpark 13:36, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The graph I've just uploaded purposely omits many of the indicia that were present in the source. It's possible for me to add the details (frequencies of certain minima; H20- and O2-related peaks, etc.), however that would limit the use of the image, and adding tiny text would invite problems that Wikimedia/pedia has when rendering fonts in SVGs. Sourcing is provided in the Wikimedia file description page. Let me know if any changes are needed! —RCraig09 (talk) 20:28, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

— User:Spinningspark, please let me know if the new SVG graph is OK. I can change if needed. —RCraig09 (talk) 20:00, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@RCraig09:. That's a good job. Some of the annotation of the original chart could usefully be included. I'm thinking of the molecules responsible for the various resonances, and the three spot frequencies at absorption minima. To keep the chart uncluttered, that could be done with colour coded dots and differently dashed lines with a key on the image description page. The key can always be copied into the article where it is used, and translated if necessary on a different language wiki. SpinningSpark 14:19, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Spinningspark, I've added symbols and legends for molecules to the chart itself since most readers won't know to click through to the file description page. I purposely omitted numeric absorption minima frequencies/wavelengths since the source focused on millimeter waves, inconsistent with the much broader spectrum of the entire chart. —RCraig09 (talk) 03:24, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Below is my first attempt. Anyone can feel welcome to add/modify to the design. It's a rough preliminary sketch. I'll add more detail if I make time later.
