Vancouver SkyTrain (very easy task to do, which can be handled in less than a minute. please just finish this :
Article(s): SkyTrain (Vancouver), List of Vancouver SkyTrain stations Request: If you look at the images, you'll see that Main Street-Science World has a transfer station on it. The station is a ordinary station, and is not a transfer station, so should be changed to a ordinary station. -- signed by  SRE.K.A nnoyomous .L. 24  (spell my name backwards) at 05:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: What do ordinary stations and transfer stations look like?

Berlin-Tegel Airport
Article(s): Berlin-Tegel Airport Request: The diagram showing the terminal layout, is written in German and furthermore not correct at all (it shows the planned layout of 1970, not the current one, and does not correspond with the text). Alas, I am not able to do it by myself, but maybe someone likes to do such things... Graphist opinion:

 * It's my first ever attempt at vectorizing an image, so it's far from perfect, but i guess it's still no worse than the low-res image. :) If you don't think it's good enough, dont use it, or better yet, improve it yourself.--Ghazer (talk) 04:25, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Brookline MA Seal
Article(s): Brookline, MA Request: Needs to be vectorized, as this suffers from lossy compression artifacts. Connormah (talk) 01:13, 11 January 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: A simple web search found this. You could save that image, make it smaller, then upload it over the one you have issues with. I'd be glad to do it for you if you don't have software to resize the image. If we have another better quality image from an official source, and the image is non-free, I'm not sure we even need an SVG since this new image I found does not suffer from the artifacts. We could also make it black and white if you prefer, but the color doesn't seem problematic to me either. What do you think about that?-Andrew c [talk] 15:20, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

meson nonets
Article(s): See images Request: Alright, this is a bit complicated to explain.
 * Image on the left:
 * In the middle, there should be a third particle. Currently there is a neutral pion ($$\pi^0$$) and an eta meson ($$\eta$$), but there should also be an eta prime meson ($$\eta^\prime$$). If possible, the three particles should be right under the middle circle, rather than next to it.
 * $$I_3$$ should be $$I_z$$
 * Upload the result as "UDS Meson nonet spin 0"


 * Image on the right:
 * Should look similar to the image on the left after modifications, but with
 * $$\pi^0$$ <--> $$\rho^0$$
 * $$\pi^+$$ <--> $$\rho^+$$
 * $$\pi^-$$ <--> $$\rho^-$$
 * $$K^0$$ <--> $$K^{*0}$$
 * $$\bar{K}^0$$ <--> $$\bar{K}^{*0}$$
 * $$K^+$$ <--> $$K^{*+}$$
 * $$K^-$$ <--> $$K^{*-}$$
 * $$\eta$$ <--> $$\omega$$
 * $$\eta^\prime$$ <--> $$\phi$$
 * Upload the result as "UDS Meson nonet spin 1".

Newton's dynamical equations
Article(s): Physics Request: Please convert to .svg. When I upload the .svg version it is not right. But png and .jpg seem to work for me. Thank you. Ancheta Wis (talk) 10:07, 3 December 2008 (UTC) Graphist opinion: I don't see any picture. What's the advantage of using a picture over the wikipedia/TeX markup? bamse (talk) 10:20, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I made an svg-version nevertheless. bamse (talk) 01:01, 7 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Aligning the equations' elements together (aka, p, F, F should be aligned together on the left, the equal signs should be aligned together, and on the right, m, dotted P and F aligned together) would improve the image IMO. Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 08:34, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Feel free to realign the elements. I was afraid that there would be too much empty space. The present version is rendered by TeX so I'd consider it standard. bamse (talk) 09:25, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * TeX isn't made to align things so, I'd just align them manually. However I suck at images, so I won't.Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 09:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

BBC2
Article(s): BBC2 Request: SVGify. Graphist opinion: Do you have a link to the data? Some of the data points are fractional and it will be easier to recreate it from the data than tracing that image. gren グレン 22:16, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Map SVG request
Article(s): Algonquin Request: Vectorize...this is a horrible resolution, and looks like it was created in MS Paint. Connormah (talk) 04:48, 13 January 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: There's not much accurate, sourced data in that image to make into an SVG. Any SVG would be very very approximate and not add anything more to the article than the original. If there were a better version of the map an SVG could be made from that. gren グレン 22:10, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Article(s): Parliament Hill Request: Can this image be cropped using code or in some other manner within Wikipedia? I.e. without having to do so in Photoshop and then re-uploading. Miesianiacal (talk) 15:18, 12 January 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion:No it cannot, it will need to be cropped externally and uploaded as an edit. Mfield (talk) 17:10, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Template:Annotated image can be used to crop and zoom, as shown - look at the original to see how powerful this. The downside in this extreme case is that a huge image is downloaded. However I often use it to trim excess bg from images, to avoid layout problems (whihc are becoming more difficult with the spread of widescreens). --Philcha (talk) 09:29, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Correction of my drawing from .jpg to svg
Request: Please correct my drawing Hajos-Parrish-ketols-2 from the present .jpg to the svg format as suggested by the Wikipedia Editors. Thanks, Zghajos (Talk) 22:01, January 17, 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: Hi, there were a couple of formatting glitches with your request that were messing up the page - mainly, you were missing closing gallery/center tags - so I've fixed them for you. Note: ordinarily, ~ will automatically give you the proper signature, but I think that it got confused because it thought you were still in a Gallery section.

Cheshire coat of arms
Article(s): Cheshire and Cheshire County Council, and it will also be used as the logo of WikiProject Cheshire

File:Koei Warriors.png
Article(s): WikiProject Koei Warriors Games Request: Could you make a more detailed ".svg" version of it? Also, could there be like a black curve going off the tip of the sword in a 90° turn centered on the middle of the sword? (The black curve refers to the Koei Warriors Games' opening movies using black lines instead of blood.) Thank you! -Blue Caper (talk) 13:21, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I wasn't able to do the 90 degree curve. Also, I wasn't sure if you wanted it with the red background. Let me know if this is okay.  Zoo Fari  03:25, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * To be more correct, the W in the logo should be in the Garamond font instead of Times New Roman. The difference is that Garamond's W looks like two V's overlapping, while TNR has the W looking like the above SVG version (look at Wikipedia's logo, the W looks like two overlapping V's. Same with your red background logo). Let me know if you want the Garamond W, as I've got Garamond. [ |Retro00064 | (talk/contribs) | ] 23:42, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but I used Paint.NET and public-domain Commons photography to create a .PNG version. I will use Inkscape to make it SVG.  I will say something to the other WikiProject Koei Warriors Games members to see if they wish to use or build on your picture.  I tried to figure out which font uses that extra serif on the "W," and I have Garamond, but I guess I just overlooked it.  Thanks again!  -Blue Caper  (talk) 01:43, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Iran map


Iran could use a new map please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.108.234.37 (talk) 10:47, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you be more specific. What kind of map are you thinking of?bamse (talk) 15:14, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking of a new map with the globe view. 83.108.234.37 (talk) 21:28, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you mean something like File:People's Republic of China (orthographic projection).svg but then for Iran? In my opinion such projection is more suited to large countries. I also don't see what would be gained over all the beautiful maps in commons:Atlas_of_Iran for instance. But maybe I misunderstand your request. bamse (talk) 22:32, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, Iran is 1,648,195 km2 large, and Mexico which has a land area of 1,972,550 km2, have a map like that. Its just some larger. :-) Its also made one for the UK though not in use anymore. And I know its called globe view, but does it need to bee zoomed out that much? Just look at Mongolia (1,564,116 km2) that map is showing the whole world... Its the better looking design that is importat to improve the article. Sorry for my bad english :-) 83.108.234.37 (talk) 14:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I changed colors in the Mongolia map. Is that ok? There is/was also File:LocationIran.svg. A map in orthographic projection (globe view) — which is not just a zoomed-in version — with Iran in the center would require creating a completely new map and possibly vectorize it (to make it svg). I don't really feel the need for such map. Maybe some other graphist would go for it. bamse (talk) 15:31, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah I talked to user Ssolbergj who makes those types of maps. He seemd to be busy at the time I talked to him. But the File:LocationIran.svg looks good, can't you attatch that in the Iran article? Im not sure how to. 83.108.234.37 (talk) 16:04, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Request: Reposting, because this one has been forgotten, and I feel this is very urgent, because this image is used in over 20 articles. Please vectorize, and change colors to Wikipedia-style, as the current ones are quite blinding. Thanks. Connormah (talk) 23:24, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bump, but I feel this NEEDS to be done...Connormah (talk) 23:59, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * And I'll put my opinion again. This map does not offer enough detail to do a proper vectorization.  Yes, the colors can be changed... but this map has such little detail that a vector will be just as completely inaccurate.  You might want to try finding more precise information and sources of any sort to substantiate these boundaries and help create a better map.  gren グレン 01:12, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:
 * I've had a look at this one, and due to the extremely small size, and the very inaccurate and unorthodox projection of the map, it will be impossible to transfer the data with any sensible degree of accuracy to SVG. With better data, an SVG can be made, especially if the projection is similar to an existing map of North America such as this one, or similar. Inductiveload (talk) 02:07, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

North Sea map improvements and or feedback
Article(s): North Sea Request: The currents map stated above has little straight arrows upon it showing current direction, but would be improved with curvy arrows which would be more similar to flowing water motion. There are 3 online sources cited for verifiability on the above image.... SriMesh | talk  04:12, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

' The 3 similar maps show features and placenames are located because of Geography of the North Sea has upon it the use of a geograph template and the Geography of the North Sea article cites sources for the latitudes and longitudes, which have been used. I am not sure which to save. Are the maps wikipedia friendly, or is there an opinion on these for improvements?

Alaska maps
[sorry, can't remember the tag; someone please replace this with the proper "resolved" tag]

Article(s): Hoonah-Angoon Census Area, Alaska and Skagway, Alaska Request: Three maps:
 * Map of Alaska highlighting Hoonah-Angoon Census Area.svg
 * Map of Alaska highlighting Skagway City and Borough.svg
 * Map of Alaska highlighting Skagway-Yakutat-Angoon Census Area.svg

Skagway recently became a separate borough (it's like a county; see List of boroughs and census areas in Alaska if you're curious), so it's not part of the Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon Census Area anymore; consequently, it's been renamed Hoonah-Angoon. This map will be useful to show the census area before Skagway was split away, but could separate maps be created showing just Skagway and just Hoonah-Angoon? Skagway is the farthest north of the various little bits of red. And while you're at it, could you create another one? Until the 1990s, Yakutat (see map here) was also part of the census area (then "Skagway-Yakutat-Angoon Census Area"), so it would be helpful if you could create a map that highlights Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon and Yakutat. I'd do it myself, but I don't have a program that can edit .svg files. Nyttend (talk) 19:13, 20 January 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: Left a note with User:Dbenbenn who produced the original maps.

Graphist's opinion:

Mattress sizes diagram
Article(s): Mattress Request: SVGify, prettify. (possibly semi-transparency would make it easier to see with multiple colors on top of each other? But, the main goal is to translate the chart here into something similar to the image above. Can do for US or Europe or both. gren グレン 23:57, 17 January 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion:
 * Created both US and UK versions using non-blank sizes from the provided table. Just SVG rectangles of the appropriate sizes, with origin 0,0 (in Inkscape coordinates), dimensions in cm for UK, inches for US. I've done them all as black with partial transparency, because that seemed to give the best "colours". gringer (talk) 06:21, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. I agree with you that using colors like the other diagram did wouldn't have been good and they could look better but I have no idea how to design them.  Only thing is if you could maybe double or triple their default size... mainly because the |thumb| parameter won't set to the user's default size because they're too small and it doesn't scale up.  It would also make the default PNG preview more meaningful.  gren グレン 00:53, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Added outer scaling on the image to make the nominal height of the SVG files around 600px. That way the rectangles will still have the correct dimensions. gringer (talk) 10:37, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Capital District of New York Map Request

Film barnstar
Article(s): WikiProject Films Award Request: Is there any chance someone can clean up this barnstar image, or better still create a new version along similar lines which incorporates File:Video-x-generic.svg? Thanks in advance for any help! PC78 (talk) 01:55, 27 January 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: I could definitely do it. Should I use the original barnstar and then add that on top? Same silver color? Let me know a couple more details here or on my talk page and then I'll get started. Thanks! Mononomic (talk) 04:14, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * If it's any help, the discussion that led to the creation of the original image is here; the old film reel image appears to have gone AWOL, while the star itself appears to be a modified version of the original barnstar. Ultimately I'd like to keep it close the the current version, so same silver colour, keep a shadow underneath the star etc. I'll have to leave the star to your graphist discretion. :) If it's not too much trouble to do a bit of photoshopping (or whatever) then great, if you know of a better star image we can use then that's fine too. Give me another nudge if that wasn't much help! PC78 (talk) 11:22, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * OK. How's this? Mononomic (talk) 03:30, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Not bad! Is it possible to have the film icon in the same silver as the star,and perhaps a little bigger? PC78 (talk) 11:29, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

File:VNCivilActionsRibbon-2.svg
Article(s): Vietnam Civil Actions Medal, hundreds of military biographies Request: The former image, File:VNCivilActionsRibbon-2.svg is not a very accurate representation of the award. The color and shape of the frame are off (not accurate), and the palm device is irregularly shaped. I have given File:Vietnam gallantry cross unit award-3d.svg as an example of what the frame and palm device should look like: the frame is more gold/bronze than yellow, the leaves of the wreath are distinct, and the palm looks like a palm instead of an irregular blob. It may be easier (and probably reccomended) to transplant the green and red ribbon colors into the latter image, instead of transplanting the frame and palm over.  bahamut0013  words deeds   06:10, 30 January 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: Just a note that the palm with the preferable appearance is a bitmap embedded into an SVG and not preferable. §hep • <sup style="color:green; font-family:Comic Sans MS;">Talk  02:39, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

 * You did splendidly, what a great eye for detail! Actually, it's a dagger, but you nailed it, see above!

Graphist opinion: I have e-mailed the website, requesting a ID and password for the media section of the site. I also asked, if they couldn't just e-mail me a vector version of the logo. I stated who I was, that the image was for wikipedia, that the other cities had SVG logos available, etc. I'll keep you updated if I get a reply. For non-free logos like this, it is usually easier (and better, IMO) to go straight to the source for these types of images, as it is hard to recreate 100% raster images in SVG format, and the amount of time put into these conversions has minimal pay off when non-free images can only be used on very few articles.

 * Sorry, I would never intentionally drive you away, please don't think that. My concern, I think, is that when we have a clearly better image now available, the retention of one not as good seems cluttery. That's why the image pages have that capability. Withdrawing overwrite request. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 01:31, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No big deal. I mean, I totally see your point, and it makes sense. However, I'm not always a good judge of what is necessarily a better image. I mean, part of me honestly thinks that either the original uploader, or maybe someone else, could find some use in the original image, even if it is taken at an angle. I mean, I just over think things. I will consider overwriting images more in the future, for sure, but I still am reluctant to do it for drastic changes.-Andrew c [talk] 01:57, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Rensselaer County Map and Seal
 Zoo Fari  02:11, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Article(s): Rensselaer County, New York Request: I wanted to see if someone could fix the map above, which I created, but doesn't look good at all (I swear the arrow heads pointed in the right direction when I uploaded it!). If you feel the font needs to be changed(or anything else really), feel free. I'd also like to see an SVG version of the seal. It's small and kind of fuzzy; hopefully you can work with it. ~   ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 18:29, 16 February 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion:
 * I've put circle terminators on, I think they are a little clearer, as they don't overlap any lines like arrows would. I've also removed a lot of underlying lines that were present, made all areas seperately colourable and added a gentle fill to highlight the area slightly.
 * As for the seal, it's here &minus; Inductiveload (talk) 23:46, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Great work, and thank you! ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 00:44, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Albany County seal

Article(s): Albany County, New York Request: Vectorize, por favor. Hopefully it's large enough... ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 02:21, 17 February 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion:
 * There appears to be a vectorized B&W logo at the top of here. Maybe someone could extract it. How important is having a color version?-Andrew c [talk] 02:36, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I would use the small color version over the BW svg. Sorry. ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 02:40, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It is probably much easier for someone to use the already vectorized B&W logo and simply add color to it, than it would be for someone to redraw the seal from scratch. And for requests dealing with non-free content a) it is almost always best to get the content from official sources and b) because the resulting image will not be free and will be very limited on how it can be used on wikipedia, the amount of effort put into non-free requests is often minimal. -Andrew c [talk] 02:48, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Understood, though I have had a few local county and town seals go through here already with no problems thanks to the eager and talented graphists. ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 03:06, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I uploaded File:Alban County Seal.svg (sorry, missed the "y" in the filename :-), already asked it to be renamed) and copied the summary from File:AlbanyCountySeal.png. Please modify if necessary and add categories. bamse (talk) 12:53, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Done. Inverted and threshold filtered in GIMP 2.6.5, then auto-traced using Inkscape 0.46 and cleaned up manually to make line loops more obvious. gringer (talk) 00:03, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Loonie and Toonie Clipart
Article(s): None yet... Request: Please attempt to vectorize. Thanks in advance! Connormah (talk) 05:07, 8 February 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion:
 * How is this any different from Graphic Lab/Image workshop? Please don't repost requests, but instead, why not try to respond to the original request? You do not state the purpose for these images, nor what article they will go in. You are also requesting SVG work on a non-free image. Since non-free images have very limited use, and the amount of work required into recreating such an image in SVG format is high, they pay off is generally not worth it, so I'm not sure there would be anyone willing to do this request, especially given there is no stated purpose or article for such a conversion. Why do you want these images? And what is wrong with the current images (and how would SVG fix your perceived issue?)-Andrew c [talk] 14:51, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The image its self has been deleted. so I think we can consider this resolved--SelfQ (talk) 10:40, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Signature of Morgan Tsvangirai
Article(s): Morgan Tsvangirai Request: Vectorise image please.  Mangwanani  (talk) 20:51, 14 February 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: Can you find a version of this image that is of better quality? I.e. one that is larger and that has the signature as a solid line instead of one so choppy? [ |Retro00064 | (talk/contribs) | ] 07:47, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The quality of this image was fine for me to vectorise. It just needed a bit of cleaning up in GIMP first. gringer (talk) 00:38, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The pen line near the 'g' is too bold, and therefore prevents you from seeing the exact way the signature was drawn. [ |Retro00064 | (talk/contribs) | ] 08:01, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * This should have a hand-trace instead of what appears to be an automatic one. The top of the G is very distorted. §hep  Talk  08:55, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've cleaned up the G after having another look at the signature. The SVG was generated via a mixture of hand and automatic tracing &mdash; because I don't sign as Morgan Tsvangirai all the time, I'm not quite sure about how he signs his name and so had a different idea about how the G was done. gringer (talk) 01:55, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I've been trying to find a better version all this time and yet you have been able to do it! Thanks a million!  Mangwanani  (talk) 22:09, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Governor's Island
Article(s): Governors Island Request: Perfect candidate to SVGizize. High enough quality to trace. Bad enough JPG encoding to really warrant it being made into SVG. An official map so it should be very accurate. And a worthy part of a very important city. Also the NPS site page is now down so the numbers don't have a corresponding key. They should probably be removed and then a new numbering scheme can be easily added to the SVG if someone finds the old key or wants to make their own. gren グレン 01:00, 25 January 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion:
 * On it! Inductiveload (talk) 21:03, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * There you go. Looks a bit odd at low res due to Wikimedia rendering not being so hot on the text, but it's fine if you zoom in. I've put a provisional key in the image page, but you'll have to finish that yourself when you can get hold of the proper key. Inductiveload (talk) 23:47, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Wow, thanks, that looks great :) Thanks.  Hopefully, I will be able to find a full key (I searched for quite a while the day I posted this with no luck).  gren グレン 20:11, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I can fix the text rendering problems by converting text to paths if you want. [ |Retro00064 | (talk/contribs) | ] 08:11, 16 February 2009 (UTC)


 * No, definitely no need for that. There is more value in using the text element.  Hopefully the rendering will be fixed to solve issues like that... I'm sure it will be someday. gren グレン 08:43, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

 * There you go. &minus; Inductiveload (talk) 00:31, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I just marked these as copyvios so you might want to upload them locally to en.wiki with a fair use rationale. If they are gone before you get time to move them then PM me an I'll recover them. /Lokal_Profil 23:31, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Is it known that all Bosnian coats of arms are fair use? Just because they appear on another website doesn't necessarily mean they are copyvios. &minus; Inductiveload (talk) 13:28, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Unless you can find a law explicitly making them public domain they are assumed to be copyrighted. As with all other online material. /Lokal_Profil 16:40, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Producer seems to have found a suitable law. I've asked someone with more experience to double check that the interpretation is right but for now at least it seems as though all is ok. /Lokal_Profil 20:45, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * OK. Seems as though the law most likely does not cover the CoA. /Lokal_Profil 18:21, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
