JFK motorcade

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 07:03, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Only free photo of JFK's motorcade on the day of his assassination

original archival scan from the library of congress (will not render thumb as image is over 12.5 mp)

Article(s): John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, John F. Kennedy assassination, several others

Request: Upon finding this historic gem of a photo I uploaded a crop of the high-rez LoC scan and nominated it for featured picture status. This was premature, as the image could use significant restoration and cleaning up. I've suspended the nomination for now, in the hope that a graphist would take a crack at it. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 08:55, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I'll have a go at it. However, it would seem counter-intuitive to work on the low res crop of the original. Rather I restore the original, then have you crop it how you please. Or you could tell me, I'd crop it for you too. These should be put in jpg format; png is definitely not the right format. XcepticZP (talk) 17:52, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've downloaded the original LoC file and am working on it. Would love it if a collaborator shared the work, because I really hadn't been planning on this job. It's heavily artifacted for an image that's only 45 years old and not in great focus, but considering the underlying importance it's worth a restore. I'm thinking we can each take turns at zapping artifacts until the obvious part is done. The work is simple but tedious, and not a bad way to relax while listening to music. Editors who'd like to help are welcome to contact me by e-mail. Durova^Charge! 19:02, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would prefer to work alone, as I use non-destructive editing methods. And these methods need to stay in .psd files. Those files are too big to email back and forth. But if you want, I'd be glad to collaborate. Post me a message on my talk page when you've uploaded your newest copy and want me to do some work on it. XcepticZP (talk) 15:16, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How goes it? You still intend on fixing this image up or what? XcepticZP (talk) 17:53, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Vectorise graph. Thanks-- Mangwanani ^(talk) 08:48, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I've been trying to learn how to do this. I left a request for help at Wikipedia_talk:Collaboration_to_convert_graphs_to_SVG and on User_talk:El_T five days ago and I haven't heard anything yet, so I don't know of anyone active who can do this. If somebody who can help reads this, please do. Dhatfield (talk) 15:26, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I redrew it using Inkscape using the original picture as a layer to draw on top of. Hohum (talk) 22:26, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is one way to vectorise, but it is not really accurate. That line is no doubt created by a mathematical equation, and the dots have true values. Unfortunately, it takes a pro in SVG text editing to make that into a graph. Still no response from the pros. Dhatfield (talk) 12:26, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As a copy of the original graphic, surely it is perfectly acceptable. It isn't intended to be a graphic that you measure accurate or exact results from, it's a visual aid. Hohum (talk) 12:03, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is perfectly acceptable for this application. Mangwanani, you ready to mark as resolved? Dhatfield (talk) 07:59, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Inkscape recently added support for isometric (actually, axonometric) drawing, so I did that. I probably can't do the first one, and I can't make any promises, but I'll try a few others.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 15:28, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've done the basic drawing of the isometric workpiece, since they need to stay consistent. I'll wait for feedback.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 16:02, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks HereToHelp, a good start. A couple of comments - Please use the same linestyles and length in the mechanical drawing - they have specific meanings and Section AA should be shaded as per the original. To be accurate the new version really has to be an exact copy of the original. I think the radius of the hole in the isometric view of the same object is a little larger than in the example mech drawing and please use stroke lines, not fill, as per the original. Thanks for your input. Dhatfield (talk) 09:28, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Go Emok! Nice projection, but can you please take out the eyes - although descriptive they're not a usual part of engineering line drawings and can we have bigger arrows? Thanks. Dhatfield (talk) 18:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Posted to article with request for comment. Anybody ready to fix up the mechanical diagram? Colours and linestyles should be preserved because they are referenced in the article. Thanks. Dhatfield (talk) 12:03, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Harmonic Drive Animation

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 12:31, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Original image.
New image.

Article(s): Harmonic drive

Request: Improving this image would really clarify how this mechanism works. The existing image is technically correct, but it shakes and it doesn't have annotation to explain what is happening.

The new image should illustrate: 1) that the circular spline (blue) is stationary, 2) that the flex spline (red) flexes due to the wave generator (yellow), and 3) that the flex spline advances by a few teeth for every revolution of the wave generator. A good solution that I've see is to use arrows to indicate a specific tooth on each of the splines. The two arrows start in the same place, but the arrow on the flexspline slowly moves as the mechanism turns.

Let me know if you have any questions. These websites all have good illustrations: http://www.harmonicdrive.net/reference/operatingprinciples/movie.php http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=1150&rendTypeId=4 http://www.powertransmission.com/issues/0706/harmonic_fig3.jpg

The Antarctica locators look excellent! Perhaps the locations could be marked on the world map? It would be exaggerated size, but it is only meant to show their position anyway. --Roke 02:44, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Silverfish held in bugbox to provide scale

Article(s): Silverfish

Request: Please spiff up. Thanks. -- JohnABerring27A (talk) 22:05, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Spiff up is not a good description of what you would like done.
This was made by yourself a few days ago, so I'm going to assume you can take another shot. First rule of photography: get it right in the camera.

If you want to show scale, insert a ruler in the image. I have no idea what a 'bug box' is, so I don't know how big it is. I also don't know how big your fingers are.
This image is low resolution. If at all possible, provide a higher resolution version, with a minimum of .jpeg artifacts. Some of the finer details are at single pixel dimensions and that is very difficult to work with.

We could spend many hours creating a marginally improved version of this, or you could spend a couple of hours creating a much improved version.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth. Dhatfield (talk) 15:46, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: I produced this from OpenStreetMap, removing as much superfluous details as I could, using Inkscape. However, I admit to being a novice with this software, so I'm sure it can be cleaned up further. For example, I used white rectangles to hide some information that I couldn't find a way to delete.

Graphist opinion: Nice idea for a diagram and good quality starting data. Opening in inkscape, I can see the problems easily by switching to "outline" mode under the View->display mode menu option. You can then see and select all the elements in the drawing even if you can't see them in the regular view. What I'll do is use the node tool to select and delete all the extra nodes which are outside the desired viewing area. This will make the drawing much simpler. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 02:57, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed a bunch of the lines hidden in the background, and if you want to get rid of some of the roads, try deleting selected nodes rather than the whole object. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 03:19, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for that. I've had another look at it, and discovered the nodes tool, so I've made a couple more tweaks. I'll upload this shortly. — Tivedshambo _(t/c) 22:49, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Please SVG-ize this image. But please try to not make it bold - it should have the same appearance. -- diego_pmc (talk) 06:15, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: If you want it to have the same appearance--that is numbers made of square boxes and not smooth--I don't see why you need an SVG. Try doing [[Image:3 4 fraction.png|1000px]] and you will see that it scales just fine looking as it does now. gren ??? 08:17, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that Diego is referring to the fact that an SVG image will antialias, making it appear thicker than this image does when displayed at the native resolution of this (non-antialiased) image. Stannered (talk) 11:51, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I said what I did under Firefox in Linux where the scaling made it look like native resolution scaling perfectly. Now when I scale this here in Windows for some reason it looks like only the center is black and the outside of the lines are various shades of gray... so, at least SVG will make it more similar over different platforms. gren ??? 18:48, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That actually does not work well at all. I'm not really sure how you could make it look as well as a PNG version. It might be best to just use that version. --pbroks13^talk? 06:17, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ive just made another one where it shows the "pixels". --pbroks13^talk? 16:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The smooth SVG indeed gets bold when you resize it to 12 or less pixels, as for the other SVG, it doesn't really have a purpose, since the PNG has no curved lines, so when magnified, both the rough SVG and the PNG give the same result. Thanks anyway! diego_pmc (talk) 06:38, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For fun, I tried making it look less bold by using a halo. Don't know if this is what you were aiming for. Emok (talk) 17:50, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Map of New England showing Claude La Badarian's travels

Stale

– Manhattan Samurai (talk) 09:27, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Basic map
A pretty bad start.

Article(s): Dining Late with Claude La Badarian (13 short stories)

Request: Hi: I would like to know if someone would mind populating a map of New England with the travels and locations (both mentioned and visited) of one fictional character named Claude La Badarian as he lives through 13 short stories written by American writer William Monahan. This would be for the Dining Late with Claude La Badarian article, which is about a serial narrative comprising 13 short stories, really adventures, of Claude La Badarian. La Badarian travels across the states of New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts (all three adjacent). So this would require a blank map of New England to work with, which I think might be available free use somewhere at Wikimedia Commons hopefully? I broke down the drawing of the map into two stages:-- Manhattan Samurai (talk) 09:04, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stage One: The Routes: A circle with a number will be used to show which short story takes place in which cities. So Circle 1 is for the 1st short story, and Circle 4 is for the 4th short story, and so on.

Circles 1 and 2 are in Saugerties, NY (Ulster County).
--a travel (by car) line connection to the next stage in...--
Circle 3 is in Connecticut at a pit stop (midway between Saugerties, NY and Northampton, MA).
--and continuing the travel (by car) line connection to...--
Circles 4 to 9 are in Northampton, Massachusetts.
--a travel line connection in two parts: first by 'car service' from Northampton all the way to Springfield, MA and second by train (boarding to take the Amtrak line) passing thru Stamford, Connecticut and then barreling thru Old Greenwich station to end up finally at Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan, NY.
Circles 10 to 12 are in New York City, NY
--travel line connection in two parts: first by unknown means (could assume train) from Manhattan to Northampton and second by scooter from Northampton to Easthampton, MA.
Circle 13 is in Easthampton, MA (very near Northampton, MA)

Stage Two: Other cities merely mentioned

Kingston, NY (near Saugerties, NY)
Catskill Mountains (near Saugerties, NY)
Boston, MA
Medford, MA (near Boston, MA)
Agawam, Massachusetts (near Springfield, MA)
the cities of Sagaponack and Amagansett, both located in Suffolk County at the end of Long Island, NY
Ellis Island
Aquinnah, MA (Martha's Vineyard)
Hyannis, Massachusetts (Martha's Vineyard)

And that would be it. It's not easy to do, but I would appreciate it a lot! It would be a great help for anyone who would read the Dining Late with Claude La Badarian stories because they would be able to follow exactly where these places are. If you have any questions, please ask. Thanks for even considering to do this work.-Manhattan Samurai (talk) 09:04, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: The original map in the New England article was terrible, so I made a new one that should be much easier to work with. MissMJ (talk) 00:49, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Started it, but the placement of the cities is really approximate... And the map probably should be bigger (maybe even a more detailed starting map?) because there's some fit issues. I don't know how lines would fit into the current map. MissMJ (talk) 01:45, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a bad start at all. I actually checked to see if the cities were correct, because I thought Easthampton was east of Northampton, and Kingston was north of Saugerties. But your pinpoints were exact. The only thing I can see is that Medford could maybe be closer to Boston. But that's no big deal. I think I went overboard with the numerated circles and the methods of travel idea. Would it be possible to simply trace the route with an unbroken but dashed line showing the direction (such as: - - - - - > - - - - ), or something similar, all the way from Saugerties to Northampton to NYC back to Northampton and then right over to Easthampton? I was also thinking to remove 'Grand Central Terminal' from New York City; it was a silly addition and maybe just 'Greenwich' is better than Old Greenwich station. I was also wondering if it is possible to put in the name of the three states: Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts, somehow? And even the islands: Long Island and Martha's Vineyard. But thanks so far! I don't know too much about SVG but it has a nice clear effect to it. This is exactly the kind of map I was hoping someone would be able to create for the article.-Manhattan Samurai (talk) 09:02, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quick note: When Claude La Badarian travels from Saugerties to Northampton, he makes a pit stop in Connecticut. The best way I can see to catch a little Connecticut with a traced route would be to drop down just above Kingston leaving Saugerties, and then stay in Connecticut just before Agawam and then go north to Northampton.-Manhattan Samurai (talk) 09:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent)If you want to hear my opinion about how you could trace the route, then here you have it:Go from Saugerties, and go near but always above Kingston to follow through Connecticut and then ride up on the eastside of Easthampton before arriving at Northampton, then a rather direct route straight to New York City, and afterward back to Northampton on a route drawn to the right of the route taken to NYC, so now back at Northampton and simply draw at the top a little final route to Easthampton. This should avoid any kind of crossings of paths and look rather fluid. It is also accurately the route that Claude took. This is just for anyone who wants to continue to work on this. Sincerely, Manhattan Samurai (talk) 04:27, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There might be some question as to how you draw the route from Northampton to NYC. If someone could figure out where the train tracks are, that would be one way of doing it. But a general line is fine. Manhattan Samurai (talk) 09:54, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

With image CSD see original at page 4 of http://www.trumpchicago.com/_files/pdf/brochure.pdf

Article(s):Trump International Hotel and Tower (Chicago)

Request: I started with a fair use diagram. After complaints about the size of the text in the thumbnail format, I fixed the text size. However, there is a complaint that it is not really a fair use when it could easily be recreated from a WP:FAC discussant. Recreate the floor diagram in accordance with proper licensing standards.-- TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 22:58, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: The problem would be to figure out how to create something which isn't a derivative of the fair use image. /Lokal _Profil 23:28, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no way to do this that I can see. Excerpt from an image copyright tutorial I'm writing:

For many people's purposes we want to get from a fair use image to a free license image. Any attempt to go from one copyrightable form to another constitutes the creation of a derivative work and this can only be done with the permission of the copyright holder. That's right: vectorising a bitmap fair use image can only be done with the copyright holder's permission. Same thing with image to text or vice verse. So how to break the derivative work chain? One has to go through a non-copyrightable form. For this purpose, the following is a list of non-copyrightable things: "Ideas, procedures, methods, systems, processes, concepts, principles, discoveries, or devices, as distinguished from a description, explanation, or illustration". If you can turn your image into one of the first sets of things, we can do it, if you must use a "description, explanation or illustion", then sorry we simply cannot do this image without violating copyright. Copyright law bites. Dhatfield (talk) 08:07, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In this case a side-on photograph of the building could probably be combined with the info (i.e. which floor has what on it) to make a free svg. /Lokal _Profil 16:28, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a graphist. Are you saying that you could not use your graphical software and recreate the image that is similar. If so, we must use a fair use under the rationale that the diagram can not be recreated.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:40, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now that the image has been CSDed, User:Melesse has said that you are not properly considering the request if you say it can not be done. He instructed me to attempt to get you to complete the request or have you explain to him why you can not.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 07:44, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that no free image can ever be created based on the unfree image above. For a free image to be created we would need a free source for the building shape (e.g. someone needs to go there and take a photograph of the building). This combined with the info such as how many floors there are and how wide the basements are with respect to the building etc. could be used to create a new free image. Therefore the image fails the fair use criteria because a free alternative is possible, it's just not straight forward. Same applies for e.g. images of living people (e.g. Will Smith) where someone could take a free photograph (thus disallowing fair use) but actually being in the same place so that a free photo can be taken is non-trivial. /Lokal _Profil 19:51, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As soon as I look at the PDF you link to, anything I generate is a copyvio and it will be deleted - I've been down that road already and do not want a repeat. Please point User:Melesse here if they have further questions. Dhatfield (talk) 10:37, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the drawing of the building is unfree, but as Lokal said above, a photo of the building is acceptable (this one looks fine). Granted, you may have to guess at the floors, but it's otherwise presenting the same data the same way. Melesse (talk) 04:56, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

O.K. can someone make the diagram using that photo or any of the thousands available at www.flickr.com using a Trump Tower Chicago or Trump Hotel Chicago search.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 22:53, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is the reason for having these in SVG since we can't display then at high resolutions. Do you want transparency in place of the white? Is there something else? Usually fair use logos are converted to SVG when they are too low of a resolution to be useful in jpg or png. gren ??? 22:07, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are several reasons for having these logos in SVG: I believe the file size will be smaller than in PNG, and most of the logos uploaded and represented in Wikipedia are in SVG, including most of other public European channels (Such as RAI, NRK, Omroep, etc...), independently of being free logos or not. Besides, having scalable (SVG) logotypes doesn't necessarily mean they have to be displayed at higher resolutions on wikipedia articles. Transparency in place of white background would be perfect! 85.138.171.163 (talk) 14:14, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Standard Model of Elementary Particles

Articles: String Theory, Quark, Fermion*, Elementary particle*, Fundamental interaction*, Unified field theory*, Vacuum energy*, Quantum foam* (would be a very nice 3D project), Grand Unified Theory

* These articles currently have no image at all.

Request: This topic provides scope for significantly improved images in particle physics and quantum theory. For the most basic implementation, the existing raster image should be converted to a labeled vector diagram similar to this or this.

Eh, I got nothing better to do. Made the labels darker. I have them bold in the original, but Wikipedia font rendering is driving me insane. I don't seem to have any of the fonts that are supported, at least not under those names. And I can't figure out what font it uses so I'm fixing alignments blind. -_-' MissMJ (talk) 20:58, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Posted the Standard model of elementary particles to Quark (had a lead, added underneath), Fermion (lead), Elementary particle (lead), Fundamental interaction (not lead, but very helpful in explanation).

Concerning the string theory.svg image, I think it would be best if there was only 1 "string" located at the bottom, and that both quarks and electrons pointed directly at it.

Graphist opinion:

I'd prefer something at least tangentially relevant to the subject, rather than just a pretty picture, even if that might be hard to come by for such an abstract topic.

The linked picture is of an eye. We are relating an abstract concept related to sensing. Dhatfield (talk) 13:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps something illustrating the mirror test for self-awareness? That article does have a picture, but it shows a species which is not generally considered to pass the test; something with a human child or an animal that does pass the test would seem more appropriate. Maybe this one from mirror stage? I also found this picture in Commons:Category:People with mirrors. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 15:59, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Self-awareness and awareness are completely unrelated. The one does not imply the other at all. Someone can be self-aware (I think, therefore I am) without any senses and almost all living organisms are 'aware' of their environment in some way. Biological psychology may choose to narrow that definition (as they state up front in the intro), but essentially, awareness is about sensing and cognition. I personally find this article to be written with a heavy POV neuroscience slant and do not think that the illustration should limit itself to that interpretation of the definition.

MissMJ (talk) 21:46, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't explain the origin and selection of the colors, as opposed to the color circles, which make it somewhat easier to carry the entire legend mentally. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 21:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does the origin and selection of the colors matter? They could be 8 different shades of pink for all anyone cares, really... It just seems weird to me that a legend would require its own separate graphic, especially since looking at that particular one, it's not readily obvious what magenta, cyan, yellow, and white mean; it presumes familiarity with Venn diagrams. I for sure didn't realize that white meant a ban in all public places until I read it in the legend. MissMJ (talk) 00:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The current color scheme has a logic behind it more than the usuall random selections, and it cannot be easily explained by just a text legend. If it was changed to be just a progressive gradation, then an image would be inappropriate, but currently the image represents the color legend better than just a series of lines of text. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 00:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Put arrows (direction) on arc AB, arc BC, and arc AC
Place center 0 in the sphere
Show and label radii OA = α, OB = β and OC = γ
Show poles r of arc AB, s of arc BC, and t of arc AC

This is a mathematical-scientific project applicable to the globe, celestial sphere, or other spherical context. Your attention appreciated. Rgdboer (talk) 22:09, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Replys below questions. Both #2 and #3 are improvements. #2 focuses well on the triangle. #3 shows roundness but teases my focus. So, slight preference for #2. Thank you.Rgdboer (talk) 22:59, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Couple of things arent exactly clear:

Which way do should the arrows point on arcs AB, BC, and AC?

arrow directions: A->B, B->C, A->C

What exactly to you mean by poles?

A great circle is the equator between its poles. Even an arc defines the pole of its great circle.

The diagram we are starting with is a spherical triangle with three right angles. In this case the vertices are poles of the opposite sides. There is no additional work necessary then for this image. Thank you. A more generic spherical triangle would have poles away from the vertices.

I've posted what I have right now. There's two alternatives to show the sphere-ness. I know that not everything looks great; I'll tweak it when I know what the other changes are. --pbroks13^talk? 22:35, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The arrow on arc AC is reversed from correct direction. Otherwise good.

This image illustrates addition of right versors. A similar image based on a scalene spherical triangle would be a more universal illustration. Poles are called for in general.Rgdboer (talk) 20:38, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Bordeaux Tramway Line C / Tramway de Bordeaux

Request: -- gren グレン 17:48, 10 July 2008 (UTC) I'd like two things. Image:Ligne C.svg is completely out of date and I'd like a version (SVG or PNG) to match line B and line A. The complete map provides the updated route of line C to be used as a basis. The same applies for line A whose northwest extremity is out of date. Here is an official map which might also help and is completely up to date.[reply]

If it's too difficult then any map showing all of the line C stations in order would be a good start rather than the really shortened version.

The complete map is a little out of date--meaning the dashed lines on line C and A are now completed as of February 2008 and needn't be dashed anymore. This should be a relatively easy fix, I think?

Definition from Silent film: A silent film is a film with no synchronized recorded sound, especially spoken dialogue.. Same thing for the piano, for me it links the thoughts to no-sound movies where the sound is genereated by a live pianoplayer on the stage. For me silent film is primarily linked to intertitles but they would make lousy icons. /Lokal _Profil 22:26, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Although it might work if it's done in the right way. I.e. something like [9] with decorations top and bottom and "silent film" in the middle.

I still had the original file for Image:John McCain official photo portrait-cropped-background edit.JPG. That means I had the mask and layers saved on my hard drive, so it would have taken all of 30 seconds to change the color of the background. I spent a good bit of time creating the original mask on the image for my edit, which I think came out quite good, so I feel bad that another user had to go through the exact same work that I already had. And not to toot my own horn too much, but I think my mask was superior :) (look at 100%, Navy Blue's has issues on McCain's left cheek, and a lot of the fine hair details on the around the edge of his head were lost. In fact, the whole face has a halo of black jaggies). If the current edit is acceptable, then fine. If someone wants my PSD file (with layers and the background masked), I wouldn't mind passing that along, or even changing the background color myself. But only if someone else thinks it's necessary. Like I said, I don't want to stir the pot if the current edit acceptable.-Andrew c ^[talk] 21:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: The logo image scales horribly on Poitou-Charentes. I would like you to use either of the two flag images to make it better.

Graphist opinion: I'm not quite sure... what are the differences between each? --pbroks13^talk? 08:16, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aspect ratio... since the flag has extra white to make it flag-i-dimensional. If you look at Poitou-Charentes it's the proper ratios and I suppose I would have been more clear had I asked to use the higher resolution image to create two in those dimensions. gren ??? 11:16, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The PNG flag on commons looks fine to me, and it seems to scale pretty nicely. Making it an svg would not be so much of an improvement, because the text is a large part of the design, and would make a complicated path. The only difference (besides colour depth and smoothing) between that one and the gif is the transparent background, and I think that's probably a good thing – surely the flag has a white background anyway? --Slashme (talk) 13:38, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I realize I've been very unclear in this request--SVG was never the primary objective. I'll restate, hopefully clearly this time:

Image:PC2.png (logo) is a bad version of Image:Poitou-Charentes.png (logo) and should be ignored. [[:]] is a flag with an aspect ratio of 3:2 (150x100). I want to make a version of Image:Poitou-Charentes.png into Image:Poitou-Charentes (flag).png which has extended white space to make it have the same aspect ratio as [[:]]. --gren グレン 18:40, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Add routes to map of Claude La Badarian's travels

Resolved

– Manhattan Samurai (talk) 12:02, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MissMJ's first take.
Retouch amended v2.

Article(s): Dining Late with Claude La Badarian

Request: Hi: This map was previously worked on by another Wikipedian, and I would like it if someone could help me with a few additional changes to it. I list the additions below:

Could someone trace a route going from Saugerties, holding near but always above Kingston to follow through to Connecticut, and then north on the east side of Easthampton before arriving at Northampton, and then continuing on a rather direct route straight to New York City, and afterward back to Northampton along the same route but drawn to the right (so doubled up, to indicate there and back, which is an AMTRAK rail line if you are interested), and then finally a small line from Northampton (at the top of the map) going over to Easthampton? This method should avoid any kind of crossings of paths and look rather fluid. A note on drawing the route: When Claude La Badarian travels from Saugerties to Northampton, he makes a pit stop in Connecticut. The best way I can see to catch a little Connecticut with a traced route would be to drop down just above Kingston leaving Saugerties, and then stay in Connecticut just before Agawam and then go north to Northampton. Additionally could an arrow appear intermittently to indicate the direction in which Claude La Badarian is traveling?
Also, could someone remove 'Grand Central Terminal' from the name New York City and change Old Greenwich station to simply 'Greenwich'?
And as well, in slightly larger font than the cities, indicate the states Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts, and the islands Long Island and Martha's Vineyard?

I would really appreciate it if someone could do this. I am quite incompetent in these graphic matters. -- Manhattan Samurai (talk) 21:34, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I'll see what I can do. Debate 木 08:25, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How's this? I added some color, but can change it back to the gray if you prefer. Unfortunately, the details require a little bit of squinting at display scale... it's partially a consequence of having to squeeze three routes between Easthampton and Agawam, and the route from Northamption to Easthampton is tiny to begin with. We could make the details a little clearer by cropping the entire image a little tighter if you'd like, but if we do that we might lose some of the recognition factor from the geography. Debate 木 11:19, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not to sound too enthusiastic, but it looks amazing. Could you try out the crop idea? If it makes it clearer then it might be worth it to lose some of the recognition factor. Maybe just a very small crop? I like the colors. Manhattan Samurai (talk) 13:22, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could you also make the dot for Greenwich the same size as the cities? It was previously denoting a train station so it was drawn minute. Manhattan Samurai (talk) 13:24, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Keep saying nice things and I might keep helping out around here. :-) Debate 木 15:17, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I really like the drawing of the route. Makes it seem like Claude La Badarian was some kind of explorer. Would it be possible to maybe do one crop that is a little less? I think somewhere in between the two SVGs might be the right size but I could be wrong. In this one, while the route is clearer and more pronounced, the font is larger than the article's font. Is this a difficult adjustment to do? Manhattan Samurai (talk) 15:52, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't be a problem, but it will have to be tomorrow. Must sleep. :) Debate 木 15:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks. I appreciate the help. Manhattan Samurai (talk) 16:02, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

<outdent>A few things: One of the arrows, as the route passes through Connecticut, is pointing in the wrong direction. And is it possible to move Medford closer, ever so slightly, to Boston? Is that a really easy thing to do in SVG? Just some minor things. Both versions of the map are great: I'm starting to lean more towards the second, but if you could provide a third option, somewhere in between that could be interesting. Manhattan Samurai (talk) 18:40, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Third time lucky. I think this one is significantly better so hopefully it was worth the wait... :-) Debate 木 09:23, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome! thanks. The route is even more pronounced and the font size of the place names is now in line with the text (at least on my side). This is perfect. A really great addition to the article. Thanks again, Manhattan Samurai (talk) 12:02, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This may be stupid but I really dislike the missing borders for India/Southeast Asia... it's very inconsistent since it has them for Mongolia/Russia/Koreas and the projection is very odd looking to me. And, there is also a border for a non-existent country splitting Russia into parts (please tell if if I'm wrong and this is an historical region intentionally there?). I think the Image:East Asia area blank CJK.svg creator added it as a border when it was the river. As for as what you did it seems fine to me (although, is there a reason you're using historical names like Peking? If there is you should make sure the other names match from the same (English) time period... because it might be Nanking and Sian instead of Nanjing and Xi'an (this map as example.) gren ??? 03:13, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The missing borders were bugging me also, so I went back and started from the map that SelfQ recommended. See version #2. I've only included the country names in this version. I'll add city names if necessary.

Perhaps someone has a licensed and/or freeware program that can accomplish this without watermarks? — Bellhalla (talk) 13:37, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I'll do it manually. Debate 木 15:19, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How's this? Debate 木 15:53, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've done another version with hugin which is slightly better imho (it doesn't have the weird bend in the ship's side halfway along). Time3000 (talk) 16:16, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely better, removing mine. Debate 木 16:44, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic! You guys are great! — Bellhalla (talk) 20:21, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SVG

Article: Mercury arc valve

Request: To make an SVG after this drawing, but with the following differences:

- The lines attaching text to parts should be much thinner and less "heavy".
- The parts such as the contacts and mercury pool should be in a different color
- The drawing should be less "mspaint.exe"-ish (Sorry for the vague criterion). 68.39.174.238 (talk) 20:54, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion: Okay, I got the first and third parts done, but I'm not sure what exactly needs to be colored. --pbroks13^talk? 22:47, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The anodes and mercury pudle so they can be easily distinguished from the black glass. I suggest silver for the mercury (obviously), and maybe a "copper" color for the anodes. I don't think the "leads" need to be indicated separately from their anodes. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 02:49, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so should the leads stay black? And do you want any kind of color gradient inside of the glass envelope? --pbroks13^talk? 05:38, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anything current carrying should be "copper" (Or whatever color is decided), mercury can be silver and I guess you could put a color gradient on the bulb (BTW, I'll be out for a few days, so don't worry if this does go stale). 68.39.174.238 (talk) 13:28, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added the color. Is that what you were looking for? --pbroks13^talk? 00:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent! 68.39.174.238 (talk) 01:02, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I made it. Will that work? --pbroks13^talk? 00:23, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite, there are a few minor issues:

The Blue jewels are suppose to be oval.
The Blue and Red jewels are suppose to have a outline.
Its a little hard to see, but there are Pearls on every... uhh.. spike I guess, witch arnt suppose to be spikes at all, there more like grooves of a half circle.

I added a reference picture:

Love the way you did the leaves though, A+. --SelfQ (talk) 09:19, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at [this image] and the one you gave, I think I made it look a bit more like it should. Hows that? --pbroks13^talk? 06:40, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
