Graphs for super-heavy atoms
Partially done--R8R Gtrs (talk) 19:00, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/846779/files/CM-P00055435.pdf Article(s): Ununseptium, possibly others Request: So there's this PDF. I would love you to extract three images from there: both images from p.8 (internal numeration) and the uppermost right graph from p.10. (SVG please)

First two tables, please upload separately. Also, change the color scheme to a multi-colored (red for the shorted-lived, then yellow, green, and blue for the most long-lived, as corresponds to white, gray, darker gray, and black in the original). Black-and-white is hard to read. Esp. this, of such poor quality.

For the graph (please don't forget to label the x- and y- axis accordingly!), please draw it wide (wider than now), so that neighboring bots are easier to distinguish. Would love to get the labels allowing more close determination of the values: try a diff of 5 in the x-axis (160...165...170 instead of 160...180...200) and of 3 in the y-axis (-3...0...3, not -10...0...10). The image would then need some further work, but I'll post it as a different request.

Would also love to have them pretty hi-res. Please also change the fonts (Arial is maybe fine), and with the other changes described the copyright securities won't hurt us.

And lastly: Even though the request is time-taking, the benefits are great. A worthy thing. The first two may get a two-digit (maybe?) transclusion number. Thanks you very very much in advance.--R8R Gtrs (talk) 10:57, 26 July 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): Um R8R Gtrs, I don't have access to Inkscape now, so I can't take this one. But anyway, I tried to hunt down a better file which is truly PDF(without raster images). The one which you provided looks like a photocopy so there must have been an original somewhere. A google search turned up |this. This file is perfect for extraction and already contains some colouring(though not like what you want). Check if the colouring is OK and post here. This file should be a good starting point... Roshan (talk) 13:00, 28 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey yeah, maybe, the point is the link you've provided doesn't give a PDF even after logging in (individual, no opportunity for institutional). I only got this raster version on web (and a copy). Hope you understand. Is someone to help with the images please?--R8R Gtrs (talk) 18:29, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Guys sorry for not checking the link that I provided. You DONOT need an account to access the PDF as is implied by the page that opens. In the address bar, simply remove the part after .pdf (%7this in my browser) and the PDF pops out. Sorry again :) Roshan (talk) 10:47, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * forget what I said above. R8R Gtrs couldn't access it even then. If anybody is interested, I can mail the PDF to him/her. Roshan (talk) 19:36, 1 August 2012 (UTC).

Blue Hill Bay
Article(s): Blue Hill Bay Request: I need a decent map of Blue Hill Bay in Maine for its article. This sample is only to show the approximate location (see also NOAA Chart 13312 and this map); it is a bit small and is missing some important detail (such as the island that nearly fills the upper portion of the bay). Ideally the three tributary bays shown in lavender here should also be labelled. I could not find an existing Wikipedia/media map which was of an appropriate scale for reuse.

Plz adjust colors in File:World population density 1994.png - For people with color vision probs
Article(s): World Population Request: I'll apologize ahead of time - I don't know if I'm using this template correctly (never done this before), but I feel this is an important accessibility issue. One in ten men (myself included) will find this particular graphic impossible to decipher because it depends so heavily on subtleties in the color red, which so many of us can't detect. Even with adaptive software like Visolve to help distinguish colors, the regions in the second and third highest density in this graphic are indistinguishable under any filtering scheme except hatching. I'd sure appreciate recoloring this graphic, maybe using blues or simply grayscale, to let the rest of us in on the data it shows. Even more, I'd appreciate the Graphic Lab simply being aware of this issue. Reds and red/green contrast leave a lot of us out. As Wikipedia and Wikimedia (and Wiki-everything-else) are truly defining the future of information accessibility for the common people, I think now is the time to address fundamental issues like this.

Half-life graph
Article(s): Ununseptium Request: It's my second Inkscape day, sorry

Now, I need to get rid of the black squares and have the pic cropped (don't yet get it how to fix it, Google turned unhelpful, or it's just me, though).

Then, I would love to have two dots (corresponding to the neutron number of 176 and 177) marked say, red, and labeled 293Uus and 294Uus, correspondingly.

And I would love to get a few horizontal lines (I'm imagining it as colored lines made of dots (...........), probably dark (violet, dark green, deep blue, etc., want them all different) but of non-100% color fill, so that the black lines are seen through them) for the corresponding y-axis (Predicted half-lives values) values, with corresponding labels (located not near the axis, rather just above the line on the left side:


 * half-life value 0 (label "1 second")
 * 4.93 ("1 day")
 * 7.50 ("1 year")
 * 15.40 ("half-life of 244Pu")

Thank you very much--R8R Gtrs (talk) 17:17, 24 August 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

-16:48, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * OK? Note: in the vertical axis caption, I have edited that into "half-life". -DePiep (talk) 21:30, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Awesome! I think however, I could ask for a few further things, if you don't mind. They'll be minor. I didn't think originally I could use another line, but now I think so (17.16, age of the Earth). If the font's too big for that, I'd be fine with lowering the size or removing the superscript (plutonium-244). Should be no problem, I want it screen-wide, so will be seen if even gets twofold lessened. Also, think I want smaller labels for the created isotopes. They're just an eye-attracting thing, want them more a smaller note.
 * Real cool otherwise, though. Am putting it into the article. Thank you very much!--R8R Gtrs (talk) 17:00, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * So this one you can use in an article. Good. Improvements later on. btw, for me it was my third day inkscape. -DePiep (talk) 21:41, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, there's no need to hurry. Again, thanks for the done and for that you'll do. (You're doing great so far, way better than me! Can you write me sometime to tell how exactly you did the cut and removed the blocks?)--R8R Gtrs (talk) 22:04, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The black blocks were somehow a larger text block (so the vertical axis text an dtwo horizontal axis texts). They were out of reach from regular (inkscape) tools. I only could move them out of page lines (menu like: File | FileProps | Set page outline). Then I retyped all text into a new txt edit block (so 3 or 4 times). The original text blocks I 1. moved out of page and 2. deleted wholly. Must say, I could not get to their essence. They only showed up here in wp and in GIMP 2. -DePiep (talk) 00:10, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll remove the red boxes. About the vertical axis caption: Decimal logarithm of total half-life values, seconds. 1. "total" has a meaning? 2. Why not Total half-life (seconds, decimal logarithm) - sounds a bit more scientific to me. You know: dimension first, unit is secondary. -DePiep (talk) 08:32, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. The red labels are a bit darker now. Note: the colored lines are added not metrically, but positioned by the eye. -DePiep (talk) 12:54, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Think I get it:) the axis caption is close to what it was in the original document. It makes no difference to me, though, I am fine with any. Thanks for all of your amazing work!--R8R Gtrs (talk) 16:14, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Must say, a nice graphic it is and your requests were crips & clear. -DePiep (talk) 16:25, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Fields of physics
Article(s): Modern Physics, Classical physics, physics, and a few others. Request: The image just does not focus on what is important, and the text is hard to read.
 * Remove the "reflections".
 * There's two "layers", one plain at the bottom, and one divide in four, on top of the bottom layer. The bottom layer is useless.
 * Text should be rather plain, in black, with emphasis on readability. Feel free to reposition things and make better use of space.
 * If the light bulb should show it's on, that would be neat.

However, feel free to redo the whole thing from scratch if it's simpler for you. See also File:Physicsdomains.svg. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 00:17, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I find the arrow directions not easy reading. They could origin in the same corner (in both images). btw, why not merge them into one image? -DePiep (talk) 08:44, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

09:37, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅. Major: reorder, origin now is top left (as with reading). Minor: reduce all 3D effects, simplify fonts (rm serif, no color), and switch on the bulb. OK? -DePiep (talk) 10:35, 4 September 2012 (UTC) -DePiep (talk) 10:43, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
