Millennium '73
Graphist opinion(s):

Article(s): Millennium '73 Request: As requested at Featured_article_candidates/Millennium_'73/archive2. Otterathome (talk) 10:15, 25 May 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): I've cleaned up the poster image as much as possible, removed noise & JPEG artefact. There isn't really much more that can be done to improve it, considering it started at a low quality.  Tango22 Talk  22:16, 09 June 2009 (UTC)
 * GrahamColm removed the borders from the Astrodome image. I'm not sure what other cleanup is required.   Will Beback    talk    22:15, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Transparent background
Article(s): Penang FA Request: Make the logo background transparent. Thanks Arteyu ?  Blame it on me !  09:07, 10 June 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):


 * How is that? Quasar (talk) 13:31, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that looks great. Thanks pal (: Arteyu ?  Blame it on me !  05:35, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, it got removed for being non-free and linked from a page that isn't an article (is there no exception for this type of work?) but the updated version is still there. Quasar (talk) 15:01, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by not linked to any appropriate article ? Yes, I agree that the Penang FA page isn't referenced but still qualify under WP:N. And why do you totally remove the File link above, should put the NFCC template instead Arteyu ?  Blame it on me !  05:35, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It probably got removed because it was at Commons. All non-free images should stay here.  Zoo Fari  17:05, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Benghazi Mu'tamarat Sha'bia
Article(s): Benghazi Request: Please vectorise this JPEG image and make it SVG. External division lines should be thicker than internal division lines.Jaw101ie (talk) 09:47, 4 June 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

I've copied the following from my talk page, because it seems more relevant here gringer (talk) 01:35, 12 June 2009 (UTC):

Can you please have a look at my Benghazi Benghazi Mu'tamarat Sha'bia map on Graphic Lab/Image workshop? It seems like it might have been forgotten? thanks a lot... Jaw101ie (talk) 06:53, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not likely to work on this, as I have other things to do at the moment. However, I can offer a few suggestions as to why it isn't being snatched up by other people:

 This isn't a completely trivial vector conversion, due to JPEG artefacts and complex elements in your map. Doing this "properly" would require going back to official maps of the area, and the source is not hyperlinked in the original picture Some lines are smooth, others are jagged with sharp corners, and some have varying thickness (i.e. borders are unclear). This inconsistency doesn't seem like what was intended in the picture There is an overlap of a few line segments at the top of region 23, resulting in a cross shape, which is unlikely to be wanted in the final version 
 * There's usually no need to go back to user talk pages to ask for something on Graphic Lab/Image workshop to be done, that's the point of the page. If you have an issue with something not being done, mention it on the Image workshop page, so that other people can understand your concerns. gringer (talk) 01:35, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Yekaterinburg Coat of Arms

Oklahoma City memorial panoramic shots
On a recent road trip, I took some pictures of the Oklahoma City National Memorial for use in this panorama. I thought it was pretty good, but when I nominated it at Featured picture candidates/Oklahoma City memorial, people pointed out several stitching errors (as well as an overexposure). I'd like someone who's better with Hugin than I am to take another whack at this one. I have the original shots here.

I also have a second set of panoramic shots here if someone wants to stitch those together as well. Raul654 (talk) 20:28, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Article(s): Oklahoma City National Memorial Request: Stitch the two above sets together with a minimum of stitching errors. Correct the overexposed building, if possible. Raul654 (talk) 20:29, 5 June 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: I get a 403 forbidden error when I try to access the images. --Blacklemon67 (talk) 21:29, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * My bad. I've fixed it. Raul654 (talk) 21:35, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * * Poke*. Anyone planning to do this one? Raul654 (talk) 07:10, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think unless the pictures was taken with a proper pano-head then it's nearly impossible to put back together without some stitching errors. Secondly the overexposed building is forever lost, once the detail is blown out you can't get it back. If you shot in RAW that might be different. — raeky ( talk 15:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Fixing line
Article(s): Hundreds of articles Request: My request is quite easy, just fix the black lines & make it looks nicer. Don't convert it so SVG because it is being used in hundreds of articles. Arteyu ? Blame it on me !  11:49, 5 June 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): I think we should convert to SVG. Isn't there a bot that does the image changes? --Blacklemon67 (talk) 21:25, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It will be easier probably to convert it to SVG, and then if you like the new look, save it as a PNG. Also note that the reason it's used so many places is because it's used in templates like Malaysian Expressway System. It will be extremely easy to replace it with an SVG then; I've done similar things many times. 76.117.247.55 (talk) 23:31, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * In that case, someone needs to do the changing --Blacklemon67 (talk) 00:01, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, and there are 35 other file similar to that but I cant paste all of them here. Here's an example File:Mes-e2.png - only change the number "2" to other numbers 3,4,5,6...36 if you want to view it. It will be great if you can SVGify all of them. But i really don't think that it need to be SVGified because SVG image won't look good on thumbnail. I would consider you fixing the PNG Arteyu ?  <sub style="color:green;">Blame it on me !  01:56, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If you're going to SVG this you might as well SVG all the ones linked on Malaysian Expressway System. — <i style="color:#6600FF;">raeky</i> ( talk 03:01, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Isn't it possible to have SVGs with parameters? So Mae-e.svg would yield Mes-e1.svg--Blacklemon67 (talk) 11:11, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Temple plan
Article(s): Shin-Yakushi-ji Request: Could a wikigraphist create two plans (or one) based on ? The first plan shows the temple grounds. Trees, water and the "WC" can be dropped. The second plan shows the main building. In the center of the main building there is a big sitting Buddha (Yakushi Nyorai) surrounded by twelve standing statues.

Sport Current Event Icons
Article(s): Template:Current sport Request: Vectorize please. I'd prefer that the volleyball one is entirely redrawn (the volleyball) to fit with the nuvola style. You may use the images I have provided (SVGs) as references, or in the case (AKA the basketball) combine with the current event clock to make the icon. Thanks in advance!

Curling done. Good? <font color="#92000a">--Pbroks13 <font color="#CBA135">talk? 18:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

How about creating current image for popular and core sports such as athletics, boxing, hockey & swimming ? Another thing is, can you make the basketball image better or make it similar to the PNG, with better lines & gradients to suit template & pages? If not I think better to stick to the PNG because it looks better (although that it isn't scalable). Arteyu ? <sub style="color:green;">Blame it on me !  10:03, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you mean, but the basketball one is very similar to the PNG to me. BTW, could you make the curling stone handle a tad bit brightwer, as well? Thanks. Connormah (talk) 13:13, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I made the boxing one; the hockey one I already made before. I'll get to the swimming one later. Also, what do you mean by "athletics"? In regards to the basketball, what do you mean? The gradients match, so I'm kind of confused. <font color="#92000a">--Pbroks13 <font color="#CBA135">talk? 18:29, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Pbroks, if you can, may I request a lacrosse one as well? Connormah (talk) 19:36, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, the basketball image looks better now (: Ohh, athletics in this case refer to Track and field athletics, you can get take the image from here File:Athletics pictogram.svg. And Pbroks, can you also please fix the volleyball lines ? Thanks  Arteyu ?  <sub style="color:green;">Blame it on me !  06:26, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Panorama of Maiden Castle
Article(s): Maiden Castle, Dorset Request: The article is currently a Featured Article candidate and an editor has commented that the image needs the colours tweaking. At the moment, it's very clear that the panorama is several different images stuck together and the different light levels is a bit distracting. I uploaded this from flickr and don't have the originals as I didn't take them. If anyone could help out it would be very much appreciated. Cheers, Nev1 (talk) 17:01, 20 June 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: I think I might be able to cut the picture up and then re stitch it to make it look better then touch it up. I'll work on it later today :). Irunongames  •  play  17:39, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be great if you could :-) Nev1 (talk) 18:45, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Their seems to have been some error in the program that made it. I used Gimp to try to get it out until I found the right balance but their was some sort of trasniton that I didn't see zooming. Is this good enough? If not I'll work on it tonight. Also when I tried hugin again it showed a fragment in the left hand corner where their is a small triangle missing but then it disappeared. Irunongames  •  play  18:43, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I've worked on the latest version by Irunongames to reduce the seams breaking up the image and filled in the white space, hows this? It is much harder to tell now that it was produced from several images.  Tango22 Talk  21:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you both of you for your quick response. I'm happy with the changes you've made and am using the image without seams in the article :-) Nev1 (talk) 22:22, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Flag of Richmond BC
Article(s): Richmond, Flag of Richmond, British Columbia Request: Could an SVG version be made of the flag? Thanks in advance. Connormah (talk) 05:23, 30 June 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Coat of arms of the Republic of Macedonia
Article(s): Republic of Macedonia, Coat of arms of the Republic of Macedonia and many other politics and government related articles. Request: As you can see, the problem is in the colours of the COA and in the star that is at the top of the emblem. First of all the colour of the opium poppy is wrong, it is not light brown, but dark brown. Secondly, the colour of the lines that come out of the spikes should be dark grey and the last problem concerning the colours is the colour of the sky. Besides the colours, there is another problem with star. As you can see, the star in the current version is bordered with yellow lines, but it should not. There should be a white line that goes near the borders of the star.

We have tried to correct this problem, but without any success. Since your team has excellent results concerning the vector images, we hope that you will solve our problem. We need a new SVG coat of arms, a modified version of the existing one, in accordance to the instructions, i.e. to look as close as possible to the GIF version (right).

That the coat of arms should look indeed like we are claiming testify these links to official government websites, where you can see what we mean in each case (plus the passports).

Please contact me here on my talk page on en. wiki for any queries, or even on mk.wiki, where I am administrator Б. Јанкулоски. I would be very greatful to know how the work is going. Thank you very much in advance B. Jankuloski (talk) 11:53, 1 July 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Shrink fair-use image
Article(s): Order of the Stick, Characters of the Order of the Stick Request: Found this fair-use image, needs to be shrunk (probably to about 66% of the current size...so far it is only used at about 50% of the current size, at least on my browser, but I guess some wiggle room should be left). Unfortunately, right now the only 'image editing' software I have is MS Paint, and this is a .gif; if I try saving as .gif in Paint it loses most of the color. Should be easy to shrink, though, for anyone who has photoshop. (Barring that, I could always just delete the whole thing and upload a .jpg version instead, since .jpg is no problem for me.) <b class="Unicode">r ʨ anaɢ</b> talk/contribs 15:18, 17 June 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: Seems shrunk this by half; would you call this resolved?  wadester 16  05:38, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

University of Oslo seal
✅ Article(s): University of Oslo Request: File:Seal_of_the_University_of_Oslo.jpg is from 1842 and in the public domain, but in very low quality. If someone could redraw it in better quality, without background, it would be great - a free version of the university seal, that can be uploaded to Commons and used on other projects which do not allow fair use, would be greatly appreciated. The seal shows Apollo with the Lyre, and the text is "UNIVERSITAS REGIA FREDERICIANA". Also see the modern (non-free, fair use) version here (but the new image should be based on the free 1842 version). JY890 (talk) 00:11, 30 April 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: Quality is too low. Any higher quality links/scans possible?  Jaakobou <sup style="color:#1F860E;">Chalk Talk  00:52, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * A better quality version of the free 1842 version isn't available, but check out this drawing of the seal, used in a 1926 Festschrift, which is almost the same. A redrawed version doesn't have to be 100 % identical to the 1842 version, the important thing is the motive (Apollo with the Lyre), and the text UNIVERSITAS REGIA FREDERICIANA. JY890 (talk) 21:38, 10 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Would have it finished, if text on paths was supported for SVG. Can't be bothered to position every letter separately. Would a png do? OrangeDog (talk • edits) 21:34, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll add the letters if you would upload. --Blacklemon67 (talk) 20:55, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the great work so far. Now only the letters need some adjustment (the letters are visible at, but does not render when included in articles. The text should be moved a little to the right, with "Regia" on the top. Btw., could future versions by uploaded to commons.wikimedia.org rather than en.wikipedia? JY890 (talk) 19:56, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Not overly impressed with the SVG rendering support, the text at looks nothing like what I have in Inkscape. The versions uploaded here should be compatible with Commons and could be moved over. OrangeDog (talk • edits) 20:57, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I just opened it in Inkscape and it looked perfect. I suppose the best solution, at least for the time being, would be to upload it as png. JY890 (talk) 00:07, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I uploaded a png version at commons (File:University of Oslo seal 1842.png) to be used in articles for the time being. It possibly has a white background, I don't know how to make it transparent. JY890 (talk) 00:22, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

✅ Not sure what you meant about making the "shape look better", but I converted the image to PNG and made the background transparent.

BTW, the trick I usually use for cases like this one is, briefly: —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 15:47, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Use the magic wand tool to select the background only.
 * 2) Expand the selection by one pixel to include any anti-aliased pixels between the object and the background.
 * 3) Apply "Color to alpha" only to the selected area.
 * 4) Test on different backgrounds to see how the result looks.  You may need to blend some of the background color back into the semitransparent pixels: you can do this by converting the transparency to a layer mask, creating another layer below with the same mask but filled with the background color, and then adjusting curves for the mask of the lower layer until it looks good (you generally want a strongly S-shaped curve).

Penang Map
Article(s): Penang & Georgetown, Penang Request: I believe both of the images were created using Adobe Illustrator that leaves a large size of transparent background around it. Would someone do me a favour by removing it (the transparent background on both of the images)? And there are also another minor mistake on File:Penang-labels.svg. The "n" word was hidden, can someone make it visible by moving the whole word to the left a bit? Please do not remove the big black dot. Thanks

Ohh, almost forgot, fyi this is the map that I've requested a month ago on GL. Arteyu ? <sub style="color:green;">Blame it on me !  17:03, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Partly done: I've removed the borders. I moved "George Town" left a bit: it still looks wrong on the description page File:Penang-labels.svg but good (rendered in Firefox 3) when you click on the image there. I think this is renderer-specific (and text-anchor=" right end" doesn't seem to help). I suspect we need to replace 'MyriadPro-Regular' by one of the SVG fonts - any suggestions, Arteyu? Can someone else fix this better, or must we give up and move the name above/below the dot? Certes (talk) 10:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, you may do it as you please. The Georgetown word can be moved to the top or to the bottom of the big dot, or you can also change the font type. It's up to you (: Arteyu ?  <sub style="color:green;">Blame it on me !  18:04, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * "George Town" now moved above the dot, so it can grow as long as it likes. Maybe one day we will be able to do this better with a Location map. Certes (talk) 20:16, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

File:Kernow lb.png - SVGification
Article(s): Cornish people, Cornish language and West Country dialects (may also be used for History of Cornwall and Anglo-Cornish dialect) Request: A newer, sharper, clearer SVG image would be more befitting to the forthcoming, revamped version of the Cornish people article. There are other maps of Cornwall (for reference) here. The content of the map is verifiable, and is based on a page in "K. George, Cornish, in: M. Ball (ed.), (1993) The Celtic Languages".

Notice: The place names are in the Cornish language and should be in English (for the English WP). Truru should be spelt Truro, Pensans should be spelt Penzance and please ignore "Foath". --<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;border:2px solid #A9A9A9;padding:1px;">Jza84 | <font style="color:#000000;background:#D3D3D3;"> Talk 13:38, 3 July 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): ✅

Problems with PNG, JPG works
Materialscientist has the problem that his PNG graphics are not displayed as thumbs. If he uploads the same image as a JPG, everything is fine. See details on my user talk page. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? (It already occurred when the images servers here did not have problems as they do now.) --Leyo 16:20, 16 July 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Error creating thumbnail: convert: Expected 4 bytes; found 0 bytes `/mnt/upload5/wikipedia/en/1/1d/Cr3C2structure.png'. convert: Read Exception `/mnt/upload5/wikipedia/en/1/1d/Cr3C2structure.png'. convert: Corrupt image `/mnt/upload5/wikipedia/en/1/1d/Cr3C2structure.png'.
 * . Error is visible at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Cr3C2structure.png/120px-Cr3C2structure.png. Apparently imagemagic does not like that image. Will check the file against PNG specification. --Petteri Aimonen (talk) 18:16, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * ✅: The PNG file is corrupt: it does not have required IEND-chunk at the end . Which program did you use to create it? --Petteri Aimonen (talk) 18:56, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The crystal structures are created with ViewerLite 4.2 (accelrys.com, 2001) - can't avoid using that program for now. Then they are processed with another soft, usually ACDSee 3.0 (1999) or GIMP 2.2. Processing is just crop and resize. Some other PNGs (e.g. File:HARDCOMP.PNG) are created in Origin 3.5 (again, old 16 bit soft), exported into BMP and then converted to PNG with ACDsee 3.0 (GIMP crashes upon conversion).


 * Important is not the image itself, but that I did and will produce dozens-hundreds of such. So far I use JPG and sporadically get comments "please convert to SVG or PNG". A word of advice would be appreciated (no, can't install any soft on my PC). Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 23:20, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * GIMP crashing upon conversion sounds a bit strange. However, all your images seem to be broken in the same way. Because you do not want to install any software, I made a script: http://koti.kapsi.fi/jpa/stuff/other/addpngend.cgi . You can upload your image there, then it will offer to download a fixed version. Note that this does not fix anything else than missing IEND chunk. --Petteri Aimonen (talk) 14:30, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Tested. Works. Many thanks! I naively though GIMP crashed because of missing IEND. I might install software, but not any. Which program can fix this ? Materialscientist (talk) 23:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Atleast my GIMP 2.6 opens those files and "Save as" fixes the problem. --Petteri Aimonen (talk) 04:31, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Coat of arms of the College of Arms
Article(s): College of Arms Request: Hello. There are SVG versions of all of the arms of the officers within this authority (compare scanned versions to SVG versions), but the arms of the College itself can only be found on this illustration taken from this 16 century roll of arms. As far as Wikimedia is concerned, the status of this coat of arms is no different from those of its officers. I would much appreciate if we can get a vectorised version of it (if at all possible), especially as it is needed in templates, articles and other places. I am looking forward to your feedback. Thank you B. Jankuloski (talk) 04:46, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Baltimore Tram improvements
Article(s): Maryland Transit Administration Request: I would love to see this image "cleaned up". That could mean a lot of things from complete SVGing of the map to just a removal of the really bad fonts and drop shadows. Obviously, it would be best to have clean lines without text running over them and proper format (PNG, SVG). Any improvement would be great and hopefully we will eventually get a decent Baltimore street car article going. gren グレン 09:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

✅ I wasn't able to fix some of the overlapping issues, as there was no other way, but I was able to do some. How's that?  Zoo Fari  06:43, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, I used red for the lines, as it is better to distinguish them from the text, IMO. I can change to black if that doesn't work for you.  Zoo Fari  06:45, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Nice work. Can the "N: not to scale: schematic reproduction(?)" bottom left be removed or is it better to translate it? Certes (talk) 19:04, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I actually think a fork between the Dutch version and an English might be nice? You can keep that as is and use it on the Dutch pages to replace their version.  On the English page I think it would be great to add a little key / infobox on the bottom left that said "not to scale" / Baltimore Traction Company / tram network / 1945  however all of that fits best.
 * I can't define what is or what should be there, or what needs translation. The "Baltimore Traction Company Trammnet 1945" was removed, since we don't need the title within the diagram. That's not part of any legend. However I did think about the lower left text. Should I take Certes's suggestion?  Zoo Fari  06:09, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You're right, it doesn't need to be in the diagram and I don't know what the colors meant specifically in the original diagram to make a key based on colors. (It's line name, street name, and something else).  As for the lower left.  You can decide whether to put "not drawn to scale" or just remove it completely.  But, I'd upload the edited version into a new file on Wikimedia so the Dutch can still use their version with the Dutch text if they want.  I tend to think it doesn't need "not drawn to scale" since it is rare for diagrams of this size to be to scale but I'll let you use your judgment.
 * One thing I forgot to mention was "Eutow". I am pretty sure that was a typo in the Dutch version for Eutaw street which is a street right in downtown Baltimore.  I tried searching for any references to Eutow but I couldn't find any so I think you're safe to change it to Eutaw.  The same goes (but with a lesser degree of certainty) for PATA ... which I think is referring to Paca St. right West of Eutaw.  This map shows both of them side by side just as on the diagram.  And Cilmor should most likely be Gilmor...   just give me a quick reply whether you want to change them or not.  Since you used elements I can easily go in and change any references to that and I'm going to try to go to my university's library and find a good book to check any of these references out.  Hmm, and this map from the BTCO site seems to corroborate my guesses.  I will look into this more when I am less tired. gren グレン 08:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'm going to remove the bottom left, as we don't need disclaimers in diagrams. I'm going to leave this one alone and I'll upload an English version that we can modify.  Zoo Fari  16:31, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Wow, that looks great and any overlap there is, is not so distracting like in the JPG. Thank you so much, this really is a major improvement! gren グレン 05:40, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
