University of Valle Maps
Article(s): University of Valle Request: Greetings. I'm completing the university article, and I would like to add the maps for the two largest campus, that are available in these websites as PDF files:  Melendez Campus and  San Fernando Campus. Both maps are in Spanish, and I'll be glad to help in the translation of the names. Regards, Andremun (talk) 00:32, 26 April 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: Here they are as PNGs:. But before I go ahead and upload/translate them, what is the licensing for each of these? Paranomia (talk) 13:20, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

This is what Goldsztajn found out about the Colombian Copyright, Law, 28/01/1982, No. 23, regarding a previous project: Article 41. Any person shall be allowed to reproduce the Constitution, laws, decrees, ordinances, orders, regulations and other administrative texts and judicial decisions, subject to the obligation to abide strictly by the official edition, and provided that such reproduction is not prohibited. The university is a public institution, and because of that, its materials can be thought as administrative documents. Also, I don't know if these can be vectorized, and the background color or texture changed. Regards -Andremun (talk) 16:02, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries, I already have vector versions - I just uploaded them as PNG to avoid rendering errors. Also, I'm assuming that we're still abiding strictly by the official edition when translating/tweaking these maps, right? Anyway, here they are: Image:Melendez Campus.svg and Image:San Fernando Campus.svg. You can translate them with this tool, or you can manually post the translations and I'll do my best to change it. I also strongly recommend you use PNG versions once everything is translated. Cheers, Paranomia (talk) 21:00, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I see why you suggest to use PNG. These files are quite large.  I tried to use the tool that you suggested, but it seems that I messed up a bit.  I will upload them translated, and some editing must be done to organize them, specially the font size.  I'm not sure what you mean by "abiding strictly", but I think for presentation, some edits have to be made.  Thanks for the work so far!  Regards -Andremun (talk) 21:43, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, just post here when you have the translated versions uploaded. Paranomia (talk) 22:23, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello. I've uploaded the new versions for the Image:Melendez Campus.svg and Image:San Fernando Campus.svg.  If for some reason, they appear in spanish, please click in the image to see the translation.  Regards -Andremun (talk) 05:20, 29 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmm, the image seems to be having problems with the text when rendering to PNG. How did you translate them (with Inkscape, the translation tool, or something else)? Paranomia (talk) 22:11, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello. I used the translation tool suggested.  -Andremun (talk) 03:22, 2 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the late reply. I don't think I can help you too much anymore, I'm a bit busy in real life and I'm not sure what the problem is. Does anyone else have a suggestion? Paranomia (talk) 15:08, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Nagy Lajos királyságai.JPG
Article(s): Louis I of Hungary Request: Hello! I would like to request some help from the editors. Is it possible to create "modern" image from it, something like this one or make a new one form this blank Europe map? [BlankMap-Europe.png] Thank you very much! Description: The "red line" marks the borders of Hungary and Poland (under personal union), "Lengyel Királyság" means: Kingdom of Poland, Magyar Királyság means: Kingdom of Hungary. "Hűbéres and húbéres területek" are the yellow areas, they are the vassal states of Hungary (Moldavia, Wallachia, Bosnia, and Serbia).

Map of Europe and North Africa
Article(s): Union for the Mediterranean, European Neighbourhood Policy etc. Request: Can someone improve map 1, so that it's possible to use it not only for the Union for the Mediterranean but also for other European organizations like shown on map 2? (The countries / objects are not defined properly.) Kolja21 (talk) 03:12, 15 May 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: It takes a lot of time to trace all national borders by hand. But I have done it with all EU member states in this map (you can redefine the crop in Inkscape). If you want a template blank map where this has been already done for all countries, chech out File:Location European nation states.svg (though that map isn't as big geographically). Do you want a specific map or just a perfect blank map? - SSJ ☎ 15:56, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * A perfect blank map would be perfect ;-) Your Europe and world maps are great, but a "perfect" one for Europe and North Africa is missing. --Kolja21 (talk) 16:42, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Started to work my way through Inkcape and it seems not to be needed to trace all national borders (in map 1) again. Isn't there a way to rearrang groups / objects? Since the map is needed primarily to show foreign relations of the EU the main block is o.k. --Kolja21 (talk) 14:24, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Chinese character SVG
Article(s): Chinese classifier Request: In the past, User:Ch1902 here was able to make File:Chinese character Cheng.svg, an svg image of a Chinese character, based on the MingLiU font. I'm wondering if he or anyone else here can do the same these two characters, using the "Unicode standard" glyph. Putting them next to each other in the same image, or making two separate images, are both fine&mdash;they're the same word, just one is a simplified character and one is a traditional character. If it helps, the discussion at the last time an image like this was made is at Graphic Lab/Image workshop/Archive/Apr 2009, if you want to see how they did it then. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 15:26, 18 May 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: There you go. Done as two separate images with not much white space either side so they can be placed next to each other manually. —  ₪₪  ch1902   ₪₪  19:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Both look great. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 19:56, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, as it turns out, the use of a "+" character in the name seems to prevent the images from working correctly in the double image template. Since you uploaded them on commons, do you think you could rename them (or just upload them under new names and delete the current ones)? r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 20:08, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I just tagged them with a {rename} request, so hopefully a commons admin will take care of it. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 20:10, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what problem you're having? I tried it and they seem to work OK. If there is a problem I suggest getting someone to fix the template rather than rename the files because the file names conform to other unicode character images. —  ₪₪  ch1902   ₪₪  10:51, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Cold War (1947–1953)
Article(s): Cold War (1947–1953) Request: The map needs some colour changes to be introduced into the Cold War (1947–1953) article. Concretely, (i) Albania's colour should be the same as that of the other Eastern bloc countries; (ii) the NATO countries should be coloured with different tints of blue to reflect the steps of the alliance's formation. Five countries that signed the Treaty of Brussels (the core of future NATO): Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France and the United Kingdom should have the most deep colour; other NATO founders, United States, Canada, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Denmark and Iceland, should be a little bit brighter; then Grece and Turkey should follow; FRG, that joined NATO only in 1955 should be light blue. The colour of neutral countries should be left unchanged. (iii) The legend should be modified accordingly (without giving too much details). Thank you in advance. Paul Siebert (talk) 03:37, 19 May 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):, I'll do this given I did the original map.--Goldsztajn (talk) 03:49, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It would be nice to add West-Berlin, even if it is only a dot. (The territory was, of cause, not USSR-aligned.) --Kolja21 (talk) 22:39, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Here's a first draft; not sure about the range...should US and Canada be included? What about colour scheme? Again neutral countries not so sure about? Swizterland and Finland are pretty clear, but the others...?  And Spain...not really neutral, but not officially part of anything at this stage. No West Berlin yet, but will include. --Goldsztajn (talk) 08:27, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Urdu alphabet / Devanagari
Article(s): Urdu Request: Could we make the Urdu script scale properly? SVG would be great, of course... but, a PNG where the Urdu script can scale to the proper size would be great. gren グレン 00:37, 11 May 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): Hi, a little complicated this request, but I've had a try and came up with the "be" character (although the Devanagari part is not quite correct yet). Nevertheless it's doable for me, I'll just be a little slow. Without the Devanagari phonetics it would be easier... :) Regards --Goldsztajn (talk) 10:08, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Looks very good to me... and I see nothing wrong with the Devanagari (the loop closes in the PNG but not the SVG... but, that seems a matter of font and not of correctness). Thank you for working on this.  I think it will be useful to have an SVG... unless you think it's better just to put this on the page in a table not using an image.  But, Images are nice because you can print them out more easily. gren グレン 10:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It was ok, but not perfect as the accent on the Devanagari character was not displaying in the proper place, but with this second test file I seem to have solved that and now have all the Urdu/Hindi characters and accents displaying properly...just need to get English correct! --Goldsztajn (talk) 00:50, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * First line completed, with diacritics and correct English.--Goldsztajn (talk) 09:30, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Second line completed, but a few problems with Hindi phonetics line...slowly, but surely... --Goldsztajn (talk) 04:25, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's looking good. Obviously a lot crisper than it was.  The thing and I may be able to figure this out by changing the font is to make it a more Nastaʿlīq looking script where it goes from upper right to lower left rather than the more typically Arabic naksh.  But that's a matter of style.  But, the Devanagari was definitely the most difficult part for me so thank you very much for that part. gren グレン 15:11, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Personally, I'm not such a fan of the Persian caligraphic font styles to illustrate letters because IMHO it makes it much harder for those not familiar with Arabic script to view. To me it is a bit like illustrating the English alphabet to non-Latin familiar viewers using a Gothic script, rather than a basic sans serif script.  Anyway, I've tried it with a slightly different less Nakshish font, which gives a bit more sense of the caligraphic....Let me know what you think.--Goldsztajn (talk) 07:00, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

You may want to wait for someone else to see if we can do that. --Sushiflinger (Goldblattster) (talk!) 02:42, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * We can do it. I've seen logos of other defuntc car comoppanies (non-free), the Commonwealth Games (above), the NHL, and Dell done, so they CAN be done. Connormah 13:16, 25 May 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Connormah (talk • contribs)
 * The current (Wikiwide) idea seems to be that if the SVG was created freely (IE. Not derived from a copyrighted work) and is used correctly (Like any other fair use image), it'll be OK.

Thanks Arteyu ?  <sub style="color:green;">Blame it on me !  22:21, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: While I can't help with this request myself, I should point out that this template is used in Soccer icon which is in turn used in a multitude of stub templates. The background cannot be transparent because the ball is, and trimming too much of the whitespace may have an adverse effect. However, I do agree that the template is less than perfect; while it may prevent the need to have individual icons for each and every country, the end result is rather more cumbersome than an individual icon would be. PC78 (talk) 14:33, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's okay if it cannot be done. But the image just take up so much spaces.

 * I don't see why a little of the white space can't be trimmed off the sides. Looking at the pages it is used on you can see that, unlike other stub icons, it appears a little further to the left. Should be simple to just trim some off the sides, nothing fancy.75.93.119.255 (talk) 13:38, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

The original map in JPEG is wrong
Article(s): Penang Request: Hi! It's me again. I just want to point out that the location name for the file above is wrong. Firstly, the island part of the state is not called "Pulau Penang" as in the map. The actual name of island part is "Pulau Pinang" (in Malay) or "Penang Island" (in English). The peninsular part of the state is known as "Seberang Perai", not "Penang" as stated in the map. The state as a whole is known as "Penang" in English. Another mistake that I've seen in the map is with the name of the capital of Penang. It should be "Georgetown", doesn't have any spaces between the "George" and the "Town" word.

My request is to create two map similar to that in PNG or SVG with no road lines (the lines in white and gray).

First map in detail: To create a new Penang map with no location names (no font at all & no road lines). If can don't make it black and white. Make it in colour. Also, I don't want the compass (the North locator or whatever you call it to be in the map).

Second map in detail: To create a new Penang map with location names (only state the Penang Island part, the Seberang Perai part and the George Town capital). Also, if can don't make it black and white. Make it in colour.

And if possible can you also make a map showing only the Penang island? I want to put it on this article — Penang Island.

 * Visually, the pictures look fine; nice clean lines with not too much detail, just a little bit shaky on the finer scale of lines. If you drew these in Inkscape, where are the SVG files? It would be much easier to work from those. Something like clicking on the curves and simplifying (ctrl + l) would probably make them look better. Alternatively, change into node mode (F2), click on a node in a squiggly part of the picture, then delete the node (delete key). gringer (talk) 05:12, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

 * On the B alphabet (Football word), there is a very little portion of the purple colour, would you mind to erase it? There is also two other portion of the purple colour on the body of the logo. Those are very minor and could only be seen when you zoom at it (It looks like the one on the B alphabet).

I would also want you to fix the W alphabet (TO"W"N), the part where it looks like an X and the upper part of it intersects (the transparent part inside the upper X) it does not look sharp enough. Thats all. Thanks (: Arteyu ?  <sub style="color:green;">Blame it on me !  05:41, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

It's probably sufficient as it is for being a gif. Gif's are by nature low resolution and the way transparencies work with a gif you need hard edges not soft edges, so you can't have blended soft edges on a transparency with a gif. If for example the original image was around before it was cropped with an oval in gif format someone could make a PNG version with a much softer transparency... but for a gif I think it's probably as good as it gets. — <i style="color:#6600FF;">raeky</i> ( talk 00:45, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Request: SVG please.--SelfQ (talk) 19:47, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):



I vectored it from this source, doesn't have the VIII thingie at the end though, if you find a larger version of the signature you linked to I could try from that, but the quality wasn't high enough to vector the one you gave as an example. — <i style="color:#6600FF;">raeky</i> ( talk 00:58, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * FWIW, that isn't "VIII" at the end, it's "RI", as in Rex Imperator. King Edward VIII was King of England and Emperor of India. Likewise, Elizabeth II signs her name "Elizabeth R" (No "I" because she's not Empress of India). See Royal sign-manual, etc. The better signature you found was of Edward, Duke of Windsor, long after he'd abdicated. To the extent that it's used in most of those articles, the "Edward RI" version is important. I suppose that means continuing to seek a better copy.    Will Beback    talk    23:41, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Unfortionately, that or someone with the ability to actually forge it close enough to be scanned and digitized. Although I didn't dig too deeply into finding another version, just a quick google image search. If someone finds a better source to bitmap trace, that would be good. Such low quality images though either you have to basically redraw it from hand to be similar or settle for very poor quality. — <i style="color:#6600FF;">raeky</i> ( talk 05:27, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ Cropped and vectorized directly from File:Edward abdication.png. It's still not a very good trace, but better than working from File:Signature of Edward VIII.png would've been.  —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 08:26, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Just a couple notes: The East Colonnade is not labeled and "Colonnade" is spelled wrong in "West Colonade" [sic]. Also you're missing an "e" in "Jacqueline". Additionally, it looks like the font for "Executive Residence" is smaller than the others. Maybe it's just an eye trick, but if it is different, can you make it the same as the rest? wadester 16  17:33, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

After done fixing it, can you put the Comment as: Per request by Arteyu ? Thanks Arteyu ?  <sub style="color:green;">Blame it on me !  21:33, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

New version shown above: let's hope this one's acceptable. I also widened the shield edge and star border slightly to match the PNG more closely. Certes (talk) 17:08, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Correcting arrangement of English text on a language map of China
Article(s): Spoken Chinese Request: Please do what is needed so that "THE LANGUAGES SINITIC" will be displayed as "THE SINITIC LANGUAGES". Wavelength (talk) 23:25, 12 June 2009 (UTC) I meant that the words are incorrectly displayed in the article Spoken Chinese (at least, on the web browser that I am using). -- Wavelength (talk) 04:47, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):


 * It already says "THE SINITIC LANGUAGES". Maybe a graphist came by and fixed it, but forgot to leave a note?  Zoo Fari  03:55, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I reproduced this problem: the text looked fine on .SVG page but was rendered incorrectly when displayed within WP page. Fixed by making "THE SINITIC LANGUAGES" a single text element rather than three.  Perhaps the problem was intermittent or depended on some variable such as browser (I use Firefox 3). Wavelength, can you also see the text correctly now? Certes (talk) 10:05, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I can. Thank you for your help. -- Wavelength (talk) 14:00, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Weight loss pyramid
Article(s): Weight loss Request: Please SVGify. Fortuynist (talk) 01:45, 14 June 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion:


 * How's that? Also, I dispute the license. Are you sure the source you provided doesn't have the image copyrighted?  Zoo Fari  03:38, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That's good. The website linked does not have an actual pyramid or picture, only information and services which mostly duplicates the text on article Healthy diet. The pyramid itself, and the arrows are simple geometry, and have been PD'd by the user. Fortuynist (talk) 13:52, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I guess I trust you. BTW simple geometry would not apply for this one.  Zoo  Fari  03:31, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Clearing the circuit backlog
Category:Circuit images that should be in SVG format Article(s): All in Zobel network. Request: I'll give a barnstar to the one(s) who clear this category up (12 images in total). Convert to SVG, upload at commons (but keep the rasters here as requested by the uploader), and update the articles they are in. They are simple lines that are very easy to do (I could do them myself but I'm quite busy), however, please don't trace bitmap these. Feel free to ask me questions.  Zoo Fari  20:38, 12 June 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): I can do some. Connormah (talk) 04:07, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, here's an example of one. How does it look? I'll get to the others ASAP. Connormah (talk) 04:32, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I just found out that some are already done. I'll do the ones that haven't. Connormah (talk) 04:51, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks good, but there seems to be a line error in both of them. Maybe it is just the thumb, but the line looks shifted (near the humps). Also, it would be pleasant if you can update the ones you didn't do in the articles.  Zoo Fari  04:53, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * ZooFari, the line shifts were in the original PNGs... I couldn't tell if they were just lossy compression artifacts, or what not, so I'll wait for a word on that. It wouldn't be that hard to fix, though. I'll get them into articles once I finish. --Connormah (talk) 04:57, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well that's awkward. Keep them for now. The other images seem to have them too, and somewhat seems it was meant on purpose. Also, I was referring to the SVGs you didn't make. If they aren't updated in the articles, I'd like those updated too. Thanks for the work, I'm too busy to vector them myself.  Zoo Fari  05:04, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem, I should have this done by tomorrow. Connormah (talk) 05:08, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I was already converting the first three images (Zobel*.svg, not listed below) when this request appeared. After discussion with Spinningspark I think we have acceptable versions of those images now.  They're hand-coded, in case anyone wishes to use them as templates for the others.  Note that the subscripts only work in certain browsers, e.g. Opera and IE+ASV; all text appears on the baseline in Firefox and even Inkscape. Certes (talk) 12:32, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for the work you are doing on this guys, and my apologies for the mess on this article. It was created in three waves using different graphics tools each time, (slowly getting better).  I no longer have professional design tools available (I no longer do that kind of work) and it took a while for me to acquire the right toolkit for internet work.  However, I have reverted the latest batch, I did not think they were acceptable.  Can I suggest that you template the updates on one of the more recent, better, diagrams in the article such as File:Bridge T with non-ideal inductor.svg?  The resistors are zig-zag US style instead of boxes.  Sp in ni  ng  Spark  13:16, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Shall I take a look at the rest of the PNGs or is someone else tackling them? File:Bridge T with non-ideal inductor.svg looks great but a bit large at 41KB. By the way, I always thought of the zig-zag resistors (with three points each way) as a global standard, with the box style as a valid but old-fashioned alternative.  UK magazine Everyday Electronics used zig-zags since 1971 and its successor Everyday Practical Electronics still does.  Which symbol do we want for impedances in Zobel network or don't we care as long as it's consistent? Certes (talk) 15:33, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If it's too large there must be something unecessary in there, just copy and paste the bits that are useful. The zig-zag is not a global standard, you have it the wrong way round, it used to be everyone used zig-zag but the official standard in Europe is now the IEC standard which uses a box.  At least that was the case when I graduated (all the exams had boxes) and as far as I know nothing has changed since.  However, zig-zag is used in the US and is still widely understood (and even preferred) amongst engineers in the UK.  I started off doing Wikipedia diagrams with resistor=boxes, because I assumed that was the global standard, until I realised that was confusing many Americans.  Since I actually prefer the zig-zags and since the era I write about uses those symbols it seemed sensible to me to change to zig-zag.  There is no reason that Wikipedia should standardise on one region's standards.  This has been discussed at Wikipedia Electronics but the consensus was that they don't much care and are not going to impose a standard of their own.  This does not apply to the first two diagrams you did by the way, which are impedances (Z), not resistances (R), and it universally agreed that impedances should be boxes.  Sp in ni  ng  Spark  16:58, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll take a look at the other images now. As all the existing SVGs have zig-zag resistances, I'll draw mine that way.  It seems a useful way to distinguish resistance from impedance within this article, even if it's not a universal convention. I'll put them on Commons and move my previous efforts 1 2 3 there too. Certes (talk) 18:02, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, sounds good, Certes. I've got exams coming up, so I'll be more busy. Connormah (talk) 03:23, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I've now converted most of the images. Comments welcome, especially on:
 * the backgrounds (inspired by the original backgrounds of the first three but perhaps a bit lurid)
 * what to do where another vector version already exists (images 9, 14 and 15)
 * Spinningspark has kindly offered to send sent me data behind the three PNG graphs so these can be replicated more accurately and easily than by measuring the PNG. Unfortunately I will have limited time available for WP for the next week or so; please feel free to take over or wait until I return. Certes (talk) 15:57, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

All the PNG circuits and graphs are now converted, with consistent backgrounds which are easier on the eye. Suggestions for improvement would be welcome. I have removed the gallery, as the SVG versions it contains are no longer used in this article. Certes (talk) 14:44, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Seth Kinman's bar

The 3 chairs, Grizzly Bear head, and photo (upper right between the antlers) are all important to the image. Smallbones (talk) 16:42, 18 June 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion:✅ I tagged the image for deletion, uploaded it to commons (as it should be on commons), and then cropped the commons image. --Sushiflinger (Goldblattster) (talk!) 20:52, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Great! Not sure why the new pix doesn't show up in the article, but I think that may happen after the old pix is deleted. Quibbles: the "border" could be trimmed back a bit more to the actual photograph. I suppose there isn't anything you can do about the window glare or the crack/fold in the middle? Thanks again.  Smallbones (talk) 21:58, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

✅✅. I cropped the image more. If the image is not appeaing in the article, try clearing your cache. Anyway, I don't know how to touch up the line in the middle. Perhaps someone else will know.--Sushiflinger (Goldblattster) (talk!) 17:18, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

 * That's awesome, thanks. May I ask how you did it? Connormah (talk) 03:36, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well there are two ways that I know of, but the easiest way was not that effective. First choice is to simplify the paths, and the way I did it was to manually delete/move nodes.  Zoo Fari  04:59, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
