 * ✅ and uploaded as File:Thermosiphon water heating system.SVG. —Mono·nomic 00:42, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure the other two are entirely necessary. Isn't there a picture on the Thermosiphon page that does the job just as well? —Mono·nomic 02:18, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No, not really. Most of the images are self-adapted to demonstrate other specifics. If you look closely to the other images, you'll see that they contain some specifics that aren't present in the other images.

 * No I guess it can also be written in the description. I normally write the text at the image so as to be sure the text is kept. However, if you simply refer to my image via a link the text is also certain to be kept, so this image can have the text added in the description.

 * Thanks Fred, there are some small incorrections dough --> first of all there is an arrow missing at cold storage (1st image). Next, I would change the aquifer color to something in between blue and brown (ground). Aquifer layers are just a layer with water + ground, so having the layer shown as water is not accurate, and it may be not completely clear to distinguish the difference between the "cold storage" and the aquifer. I hope you can upload a new version with the updates.

KVDP (talk) 13:43, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * There you go. I have no idea why the arrow disappeared, it was there in the original Illustrator file. all sorted now though, and I used a gradient for the aquifer layer. It goes from the brown I used for the soil to the blue I used for the water. I hope that's okay for you? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 14:16, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Types of bird feet

 * Looks like someone didn't mark taken.... File:Bird-feets.svg. I was doing research as well... -Andrew c [talk] 14:15, 16 April 2010 (UTC)


 * It seems like the di- and tri- configurations are more rare, and that syndactyl, pamprodactyl and zygodactyl should perhaps be included. I also think the length of the segments is a bit confusing, and it doesn't make sense to me that the number of segments should correspond to the digit number.... but look at me trying to improve on a simple conversion :) -Andrew c [talk] 14:21, 16 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Cheers for looking into it though, I appreciate it! I agree that the number of segments is confusing but also second your idea that it would be useful to include those 3 other types.  Fallschirmjäger   &#9993; 15:15, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Shimer College Seal
Article(s): Shimer College Request: Sharpen and vectorize, please? This is from a B&W scan. The actual seal is maroon, like file:Shimer College Logo.PNG. Can the color be changed, as well? Thanks. Nasty Housecat (talk) 04:20, 26 April 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):


 * This image is too poor in quality to figure out what all the detail are supposed to be depicting. We need to find a better source. I was unable to find the seal anywhere on their official website. Are you sure it is still used? I was able to locate various PDFs that had the Shimer logo in vector format which could be extracted and saved as an SVG... but that isn't exactly what you were asking. -Andrew c [talk] 19:42, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not convinced this seal is still used anymore, if it cannot be found in any official literature or on the website. Maybe it is just historic, and perhaps not necessary for the article? -Andrew c [talk] 20:49, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Nor was I, so I asked them again, and they finally scrounged up a TIFF version without the motto, but it should work. Thanks for looking into it. --Nasty Housecat (talk) 22:27, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Coat of arms of Haiti & Imperial Standard of the Tsar
Article(s): Empire of Haiti, Tsardom of Russia Request: Add new colours & convert into SVG if possible, or recreate images from scratch please thanks Mackay 86 (talk) 10:05, 30 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I have added the more accurate PNG of the Tsar's Standard, which should also be easier to convert to SVG Fry1989 (talk) 21:20, 1 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Fry1989, the two Imperial Standards are actually complete different. The one on the left is the standard of the Russian Tsar whereas the one on the left is of the Russian Emperor. Note that Tsar & Emperor were separate titles in Russia and were not the same. Mackay 86 (talk) 21:56, 1 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually Tsar was synonymous with Emperor in Russian, so you are incorrect on that, as while the Tsardom and Russian Empire were two seperate entities, they both shared the title of Tsar. I am aware that they are different designs, however the one I added, is from what I have seen more accurate to the one used by Tsar Nicholas II. Preferably, BOTH should be made into SVG format, as they were both used at one time.Fry1989 (talk) 19:30, 2 May 2010 (UTC)


 * What i meant to say was that the title "Tsar" or "Czar" is the Slavic form of the Roman title of Caesar whereas the title of Emperor is derived from the Roman title of "Imperator" so technically they are different. Moreover, in Russian Tsar is spelled "Царь" and Emperor is spelled "Император". Therefore, they are not completely synonymous. In addition, Peter I changed the title from Tsar to Imperator (Emperor) in 1721 with the proclamation of the Russian Empire. Nevertheless, the title of Tsar remained in common usage until 1917.

SS Music logo
Article(s): SS Music Request: SVGify, please. Source, full resolution. — ξ xplicit  02:02, 1 May 2010 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): I did search their website for PDF sources but that yielded nothing! That means this logo will have to redrawn...but that wont be easy, since it involves a lot of gradients and any attempt to vectorize this logo will attract criticism since it is a non-free image. There have been past incidents where graphists were criticized because of this issue! --JovianEye (talk) 02:42, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's rare for me to make this comment, but I don't think it would be worthwhile to make this an SVG: There's no chance to improve the logo in the future by modifying the file, because it's a logo. The text can't remain text, because we don't have the fonts for it, so the searchability advantage isn't there. An SVG wouldn't be conceptually simpler (for example with a line drawing) because it's full of gradients and light effects. The current picture does the job very well, so leave it alone. --Slashme (talk) 12:35, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

 * It's better if the text isn't included in the picture. That way the images can be used on other languaged wikipedias as well. The text can always be included from the caption instead. /Lokal_Profil 15:24, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Are these ok? Got a version of Monogamy with standardised venus/mars symbols and no text as well if required. /Lokal_Profil 00:32, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, change the monogamy picture to a picture without text, this way it's more coherent to the other pictures. As for the text itself, this needs to be inputted to the image description; add a "english"-line, so that translation in other languages too can occur. Also, in the image description of the polygamy and group marriage, it's best to mention that the arrows between the symbols only connect 1 of both, so 1 male symbol and 1 female symbol, ... not both the male/female + male+female; this is not totally clear, atleast not when looking at 1 image separately, ie on a article. Already added images to articles.

KVDP (talk) 17:06, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Mediation Cabal ad
Fred the Oyster is now indefinitely blocked as a sockpuppet of a banned user; can someone else finish this request please? It needn't look exactly the same as the first draft - just the basic elements need to be there. Thanks. Rd232 talk 09:26, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Article(s): WP:MEDCAB Request: Please create a WP:BANNER for the Mediation Cabal, asking for volunteers to be mediators. See the existing examples of internal "Wikipedia Ads" at WP:BANNER and the front page of WP:MEDCAB. The ad could be animated but probably better not. Thanks! Rd232 talk 20:45, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
 * What text do you want the banner to say? --Fred the Oyster (talk) 18:26, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, good point. I think the main text could be "The Mediation Cabal is a bunch of volunteers providing unofficial, informal mediation for disputes on Wikipedia. Why not help out?", and the shortcut WP:MEDCAB could be displayed somewhere as well, near the Cabal Approved logo. That would be enough, but an animated version where the text is initially

"If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs..." - Rudyard Kipling, If- and then fades into the text above would be cute. Rd232 talk 19:21, 7 April 2010 (UTC)


 * OK, that's a good start, but some tweaking please. 1. Take away the "Cabal Approved" stamp and have it appear on the right-hand side, above a "WP:MEDCAB" shortcut notice. Or leave out the shortcut if space is an issue, but at any rate have the stamp on the right hand side, not looking like it's in any way part of the logo. Or even drop the stamp altogether, especially if space is an issue, which it probably is. 2. Keep the fancy font just for the quote part of the text; make everything else (including the Kiping/If bit) an easy-to-read sans serif font. Then it should be good to go. Thanks! Rd232 talk 20:44, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It seems FtO has uploaded a new version of the banner.  Fallschirmjäger   &#9993; 14:52, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Instead of sliding the cabal stamp into the graphic, why not just stamp it (as would presumably be expected). Sliding the MEDCAB logo across the graphic is also unnecessary (and a bit tedious in my opinion). Why not just leave the MEDCAB logo on the left side, slide down the MEDCAB title, and then stamp the cabal approved stamp on the right side? That would make more sense to me at least. Kaldari (talk) 15:15, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I have no problems seeing it, check your monitor settings, the brightness/contrast might be too high. Y zm o  talk  19:44, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Even on my very bright and contrasty laptop, I can make out the moon quite clearly. That said, we may want to consider vision impairment issues, and make sure there is enough contrast when it comes to accessibility issues. I haven't work with accessibility stuff in a couple years, but I remember web based programs that could convert images into various color-blindness and other impairments, and assess the quality of the image. Anyone know what I'm talking about? -Andrew c [talk] 22:44, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've changed the colours a bit and also made the numbers a bit bigger and put them right on the asteroids.
 * I experimented with my contrast settings and found the moon profile to become visible when I turned it down. It is very rare for me to encounter this issue, however, and it seemed unreasonable that a picture should only be viewable within certain screen setting parameters, so I decided to bring it up. It looks much better now, although I'm not sure about that shade of orange... 217.209.21.141 (talk) 13:19, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

 * There really isn't much blank space: the gallery box above is misleading (click once on the picture to see the real boundary). If you really want a very tight crop, I can do that, but is that necessary? --Slashme (talk) 12:39, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Russian Orbital Segment
Article(s): Russian Orbital Segment, International Space Station, Zvezda (ISS module), Zarya, Pirs docking compartment, Rassvet (ISS module), Poisk (ISS module), and various international equivalents thereof. Request: I was wondering, please, if it would be possible to vectorise this diagram, making it clearer, easier for other language Wikipedias to translate (currently 15), and to remove the part of the diagram showing the US Orbital Segment (the three grey, unlabelled modules), possibly by replacing it with an arrow --> and label along the lines of 'to USOS'. A clear background (i.e. a blank one) would also be very helpful. SVGing the image will also make it much simpler for us to replace Pirs with Nauka when the latter is launched. Many thanks in advance, Colds7ream (talk) 09:45, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Alternatively, if someone could just PNG it with a transparent blank background, that'd be very useful too. Colds7ream (talk) 15:31, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

That image is of too poor resolution to convert to SVG. Consider finding a higher resolution image...a google search returned several useful images in pdfs such as these: Smallman12q (talk) 01:14, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * http://www1.nasa.gov/pdf/446577main_sts132-summary.pdf -where the current image comes from

 * http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2009/11/live-russian-module-launch-towards-iss-on-soyuz/
 * Good catch there - page 9 of the third item has a great diagram which is unfortunately at the wrong angle. Could something be done with that, by any chance? Colds7ream (talk) 17:17, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Redrawing the whole thing in that detail would be quite some work. I removed the background and put new labels. I hope that will do the job for now...  SPLETTE &#32;:]&#32;How's my driving? 05:27, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I just realized you requested other changes, too. May I ask why the US Orbital Segment should be removed? Would the other language Wikipedias want it have removed also?  SPLETTE &#32;:]&#32;How's my driving? 05:35, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for removing the background; that's much better! The USOS should be removed simply because the diagram is supposed to be of just the ROS. The USOS doesn;t show all of the components of the USOS, having the three there merely to provide context for the ROS's location, which I feel could be better served with the arrow. Could the image in its current form be resaved as a PNG, by any chance? I don't really know much about format changing... Colds7ream (talk) 09:58, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I did that now. Can you do me a favour and let the other wikis know about the new file? Thanks  SPLETTE &#32;:]&#32;How's my driving? 14:56, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Finish chess diagram pieces SVG-ification
The various chess diagram tiles are named "File:Chess_(FOO)(piece color if applicable, either l or d)(tile colour, either l, d, or t)". The PNG files end with "44.png", while the SVG end with "45.svg".

The request for above is essentially to "fill in the blanks" of the svg table. AKA if "Foo44.png" exists, so should "Foo45.svg". Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 03:19, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):
 * I'd like to repeat what MSGJ at Template talk:Chess_diagram already suggested: rather than making 2 (or possibly more) versions of the same piece with different background colors, we should make the images transparent and add the BG color inside the tables instead. I guess that should make the template slightly less complex as well – the background is always the same anyway. —Quibik (talk) 13:40, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That works too. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 14:53, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Added the transparent versions. And yes, we need the upside down versions. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 17:06, 19 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll be more than happy to finish these off if no-one else will. NikNaks93 (talk) 13:08, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I think that's all of them. The numbers can just be rendered as text. NikNaks93 (talk) 11:45, 23 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, the numbers as text would create tons of problems with the templates and in the PDFs. Likewise we would need that transparent 45x45 svg square. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 19:57, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Create chess diagram svg pieces for the remaining colors
The various chess diagram svg tiles are named "File:Chess_(FOO)(piece color if applicable, either l, d, r, g, y )". The SVG files always end with "g45.svg".

The request here is to fill the columns that have elements in it. AKA if any of "Foolg45.svg", "Foodg45.svg", "Foorg45.svg", "Foogg45.svg" "Fooyg45.svg" exist, they should all exist. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 03:19, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

The original logo is the same, but without the motto "DESTRA NAZIONALE" (National right). By the way, the border of the circle, both in the pre-1972 and in the post-1972 logo, should become a more defined black border.

 * (About PSDI) The logo which actually appears in wikipedia is the logo of a small group which refounded the party in Southern Italy in 2005, without any electoral success. The real logo of the genuine historical PSDI (1947-1994) was quite different, without the acronim "PSDI" and, mainly, with the motto "SOCIALISM" (socialism) instead of "SOCIALDEMOCRAZIA" (social-democracy).
