East Asia map and flags
Article(s): East Asia, WikiProject East Asia, tagged talk pages Request: Graphist opinion(s):
 * 1) Modify the orthographic projection of East Asia to include the shading in line with this map.
 * 2) Make an SVG version of the WikiProject East Asia logo (the components are the orthographic map and the flags in the East Asia article),
 * 3) Make another SVG version with the flags of Hong Kong and Macau replaced with the flags of Vietnam and Russia, and using the new East Asia projection.  Quigley (talk) 18:35, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

 * ❌ MediaWiki limitation - quote: All Wikia-hosted projects are currently using ImageMagick's convert (the default). This application has some severe limitations in its SVG->PNG conversion abilities, including complete loss of all gradient-fills and text. found here --Ras67 (talk) 13:13, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Inconsistent Electrons per Shell
Article(s): Iridium Request: I have made note on the discussion page for Iridium as to the issue. On the main article page, there appears to be an error in the box on the right, labelled "General properties." In the section describing the number of "Electrons per shell," the box reads: 2, 8, 18, 32, 15, 2 (Image) But when the image is viewed, it depicts: 2, 8, 18, 32, 17

Can iridium have 5 and 6 electron shells?

File:Allah-eser-green.png
Article(s): everything transcluding Islam Request: Vectorize. 129.10.231.210 (talk) 20:44, 20 November 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): After looking at the file history and other versions of the file with different color themes, all done by the same uploader, I think the uploader might have the original vector file, and it's better to try and ask them for it. This is way too complex and time consuming to be taken here, especially when there's a possibility a vector file already exists. Regards. -- Orionist ★ talk  17:35, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Tidyup of Simtek logo SVG
Original (uncleaned) raster logo

Article(s): Simtek Request: Can someone clean up the vector version, so that it is as 'true' representation of the original version as possible please? I realise that the original is of a low quality, but it's the best thing available. The company ceased to exist over 15 years ago, so I don't think there's any chance of an official vector version becoming available. The navy curve is the part that needs the most work.

Graphist opinion(s): ❌ Hi Kkm010, this request is not easy and cannot be done since it is a non-free image. I did go through plenty of PDF documents from the CBI website. None of the PDFs I went through contained an embedded vector image. --JovianEye (talk) 04:42, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Arms in Austrian Federal Flags
Article(s): Austria and articles regarding Austria.

Request: Please replace the Arms on the two flags with the corrected version provided. As according to the Austrian Federal Ministry of National Defence's website( 1 ), a less ornate version{ 2 } of the Arms are used on flags in Austria, and the version I provided matches those arms almost identically.

Do you want to remove the labels completely? Regarding captions, isnt that supposed to be added as HTML? --JovianEye (talk) 04:33, 18 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, remove the labels completely, so each wiki can put the captions in their own language, in the frame below the pic.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 22:53, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ Captions removed. --JovianEye (talk) 03:36, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Abd al-Kuri Sparrow
Article(s): Abd al-Kuri Sparrow Request: Can anybody make a version cropped to just show the sparrow (the birds at top), with the background whitened, the male and female symbols in black, and without the wagtail's tail and the "1." This would be a much better illustration for the article. Note that the file can't be on Commons until Jan. 1. Thanks in advance, &mdash;innotata 22:14, 18 December 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):
 * How's this look? I didn't change the color of the symbols because I think it would look rather distracting. I like the original coloration of the symbols, personally. You wouldn't be able to make them out very well in a thumbnail anyway. Better to use the caption I think. Kaldari (talk) 07:18, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! The illustration looks great, and I concur on the symbols now. This can be marked as done (from the preloaded HTML comments I don't know if or how I can do it). &mdash;innotata 15:28, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Census Report
Article(s): Poverty in the United States, and others Request: In the commons cat I've uploaded Commons:Category:P60-238, why does the pdf crop appear to be off? Could someone tell me how to fix it in adobe acrobat?Smallman12q (talk) 20:16, 18 December 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion:

✅:Hello Smallman12q, IMHO you can't directly fix this issue in acrobat, you have to create a new one with Distiller or an another PDF writer with the print function of Acrobat. The Wiki software faultily interprets the PDF crop box. It covers white the cropped regions and let the document in the original dimension. Your first example includes this complete page with a subsequently added crop box. Adobe Reader correctly blows up the visible region.

I've opened your PDF in Acrobat and "printed" it with Adobe PDF and several adjustments. You must ajust Fit to Printer Margins under Page Handling and mark Auto-Rotate and Center as soon as Choose Paper Source by PDF page size, but the pixel values of the following file are fairly little. Or you specify under Printer Adobe PDF --> Properties --> Adobe PDF Page Size a bigger new page. Happy Christmas! --Ras67 (talk) 20:12, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Improved reedbeds
Article(s): Treatment pond, Reedbed, water purification articles Request: Is it possible to improve the images as requested at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:KVDP&redirect=no#Reed_beds KVDP (talk) 08:30, 28 September 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):
 * Work-in-progress needs comment. Somewhat confused with the description on the talk page, please prod me in the right direction with regards to both style and content.


 * Just a minor critique: Most plants grow more or less vertically unless there is some external factor preventing that - such as constant water flow or constant wind - in which case they would all be leaning in the same direction. Kaldari (talk) 05:22, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * A couple of notes: I think it'd be better if you keep the general shapes and sizes more faithful to the original, since it's a techical illustration and some details might be important (for example: The pipes, depth and water surface of the three ponds should be level etc.) And I think that the plants are meant to be only reeds, so maybe you want to put that instead. Otherwise it looks great! Regards, -- <font color="#0066CC">Orionist  ★ <font color="#0066CC">talk  14:27, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ Last night I ended up reading lots about treatment ponds and re-worked the whole thing. Sadly that was while Orionist was commenting and the style moved further in order to illustrate the spatial relationships that a flat cross-section cannot capture (e.g., that the last setup is meant to be consisting of many parallel outlet; depth differences etc).  I'm trying to get in touch with a professional to learn about the details of the content, and will mark it as complete for now.  (As an aside, I'm finding the use of SVG rather mysterious... many things that render beautifully in Illustrator just don't show up after uploading.  Boo.)
