 * We can't alter images without licenses. Perhaps you can find one before requesting. Thanks for your understanding.  Zoo Fari  03:33, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Gerald Henderson
Article(s): Gerald Henderson, Jr. Request: Could someone crop Henderson (no. 15) from this image? ~ EDDY  (talk /contribs /editor review ) ~ 19:25, 7 April 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: How much do you want cropped? I personally like it showing him defending Sims. --Pbroks13 talk? 22:39, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Good enough, though I would like it to be just him. ~ EDDY  (talk /contribs /editor review ) ~ 18:09, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I cropped it again. How's that? --Pbroks13 talk? 16:38, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Guiana Space Center
Article(s): Guiana Space Centre Request: Is it possible to make this graphics into the English language. Thanks. Hektor (talk) 10:49, 12 April 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: I've added the Template:Translation possible template to the Commons image page - if you know the English translations of the words, you can get the toolserver to translate them automatically into a new SVG that's labeled appropriately, see the template page for more on how it works. If you want, post the English translations here first so we can check that they make sense - small grammar changes and so on. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 14:06, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * English version now exists here, but the English isn't perfect - Soyouz should be Soyuz, several words (e.g. montagne (mountain), top right) remain untranslated, and the text alignment seems to be weird - tilted. Maybe we need someone to tweak this manually. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 18:29, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh you went faster than me, I was having a break for Easter week-end. Thanks a lot. Hektor (talk) 21:56, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

SVG problem
Request: I've translated French version of this file, into Russian, so that our Graphic Lab could use it too. French file is only 214 kb, and this one turned out to be 1mb. Also there are severe problems with fonts and Russian letters. I've tried several times to save the new svg in different way (save with all glyphs for example), but the only thing it did was make it even bigger and worse. Could someone try fixing the fonts problem and the size of the file? Also please explain how did you do it. (I use Illustrator) --Ahnode (talk) 15:05, 2 April 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion:

I'm afraid I can't tell what is wrong with your file, except for the size. I use Inkscape, but I have a few ideas. If you have problems with your fonts, Inkscape has a "Path->Convert Objects to Path" command that allows SVG to render 'non-standard' fonts. It may be that Cyrillic (excuse me if I spelled it wrong), or your specific font is one of the non-standard ones. You could try another font. If Illustrator is converting all the fonts to SVG path objects automatically, that would explain the size difference. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but I hope that at least explains the mystery. Dhatfield (talk) 03:27, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Does this -ru version use DejaVu (Sans or Serif) Condensed font ? The French graphist have recently discovert that this font work fine, while many other don't. Yug (talk)  20:04, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I opened your file in Inkscape, and cleaned up the def (Inkscape > File > Vaccum defs), which often enlight the file size, but this had no effects.
 * I copied the SVG content into a new page, then I got a 440Ko file (3time smaller), but not yet a 250Ko one, as espected.
 * So I guess there are 2 troubles:
 * 1. Illustrator make the files heavier (1300Ko -> 440Ko);
 * 2. other thing make the file still 200ko too big, what ? have you a clue ?
 * 3. You have a well know font bug, French use the DejaVu (Sans or Serif) Condensed font to avoid this bug.
 * Re-do the translation, starting from the French file, and using Inkscape is probably the quickess way to success. Yug (talk)  20:23, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Tokamak scheme
A relatively straightforward, but a very useful addition (IMO) would be an SVG scheme of a tokamak device. It could be based on one of the existing pictures...

The reason that I'm requesting this is that I've been cleaning inadequately labeled images on :sl Wikipedia and noticed this one. It's very informative, so I'd like to replace it in the article instead of just deleting. I can provide translation of the labels if necessary. Article(s): Tokamak Request: Make a SVG version. I made the same request at Commons, but there hasn't been any response yet. Yerpo (talk) 13:05, 16 April 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion:

Rio de Janeiro coat of arms
Article(s): Rio de Janeiro Request: SVGfy... Felipe ( talk ) 19:58, 16 April 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion:


 * I know the dolphins can come from the Coat of Arms of Romania, the thing in the center from the Flag of Portugal, Mural crown has at least one that could be used for the top of the shield. 76.117.247.55 (talk) 17:08, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The ring can come from this flag. — Guilherme (t/c) 17:40, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

List of images
Since being with Wikipedia, I created a large collection of images by hand-drawing them. Can these be CGI'-ed (converted to computer images)?

The files include the following (my additional schematics besides those below can be seen at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:KVDP (click gallery)): and a (heavily) simplified version of this file: http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/8475/scannen0001qv8.jpg Name should be Material recovering Waste Fired Power Plant the indicated items are 1: supply by ship, 2: dump hall, 3: waste bunker, 4: waste funnel, 5: ammonia injection against nitrogen oxides (NOx), 6: incineration kettle, 7: heat exchangers, 8: watercooled grids, 9: slag, 10: crane to switch heat exchangers, 11: electrostatic filter, 12: cloth filter, 13:reheater, 14: quench, 15: HCl-washer, 16: SO²-washer, 17: 100m high chimney, 18: fly-ash silo Note that i'd add also a subterrainean Carbon capture and storage pipe at the end Note that I did not upload the image at the site noted, if a new image is made in a simplified form, it can propbably be uploaded as a derivate or self-made image at wiki commons This image is for use with incineration and landfill mining article and is useful as it can give people around the world an idea on how they can eliminate their landfill sites.

A schematic of the waterpumping windmill described in NGC schould also be made and uploaded to wikimedia commons.

At present, I would firstly like to request the making of the following image: ForestCoverWorld.JPG

This image is to be created from the image found at Intactforests and the this thematic map from howstuffworks

Can someone please make a open-source copy from these maps and upload them to wiki commons, after which they can be displayed at the deforestation article. The image should be the IntactForests image layered over a pencil line marking the extremeties of the howstuffworks vegetation cover map. Note that it is perhaps best to move the intactforest coloring to the howstuffworks map, add the pencil line and delete the howstuffworks coloring

The area between the pencil line and the still currently present vegation, should be colored red; Vegetation (current) should be green.

Can someone also make an image of the Council House 2 ( http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/info.cfm?top=171&pg=4123) See image at http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/rsrc/PDFs/CH2/CH2_HowItWorks.pdf I haven't done it myself as I don't get how the downwards cold air supply works; is this done with fans ? Not clear in drawing. Also, perhaps someone can make a picture of an underground building version of Natural ventilation high-rise buildings.JPG .The center cone could be used as secondary escape route (in case of cave-in), balconies and vegetation should be removed and a air supply/elevator system be added in place of these.

A final image can be a modified image of ; where the the solar panel is cut off and where it is stated that the 2 pipes connect to a external (passive) source; eg a ground, water solar or air source; eg via heat pump, deep surface water (see also: ) or solar panel (see image above) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.182.172.175 (talk) 16:52, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks in advance, 81.246.128.52 (talk) 07:39, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The diagrams can be SVGed easily if your handwriting, etc. isn't important (IE. Replaced by a common fontface). Secondly, it appears you are requesting 2 different things: The conversion of those images, and the creation of a new one. I think it would be easier (and more likely to get done) if you separate the requests into 2 different ones. 76.117.247.55 (talk) 05:41, 11 April 2009 (UTC)


 * You may change my handwritten text by mere computer text. Thanks. Note that at present, only the forest cover map should be done quickly, the others can be done as the image lab sees fit, and in order of its perception of the image importance.

The RAW "HowStuffWorks" map can be found here: http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/maps/pdf/WOR_THEM_Forests.pdf


 * Your images appear to be direct copies of copyrighted images, so I don't think you can release them public domain unless the author's version is public domain too. --Odie5533 (talk) 00:00, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Map of Roman Empire

 * Article: Roman roads in Africa


 * Map



Won't you pleease help me, help me?S711 (talk) 19:19, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Request: Could anyone help me by cutting off the top part of the map (just below Gibraltar) and putting the frame with explanations of the symbols etc. that is now in the upper right corner over the frame that is now in the lower left corner (excluding the title "Roman empire in 45 AD" and everything below the word Colchis). I would be very grateful.S711 (talk) 07:55, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: Hi S711, for me this is actually a fair amount of work, it is not a simple crop and move job, especially if it is to be left as an SVG. Unless another graphist wants to have a go at this, I'll try to get to it over the next week, but if others have any views for a speedy solution here, please chip in.--Goldsztajn (talk) 03:18, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Great!!S711 (talk) 10:49, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes that is a pretty horrible task due to the fact that everything is a vector outline, and nothing seems to be collected into complete outlines. Mfield (Oi!) 07:12, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The simplest/quickest way would be to move the legend, group all the map objects together and add a rectangle around the area needed then select both objects and do Object > Clip > Set. That will only hide the rest of the map though, it'll still be a massive file size-wise. So if the rest of the text really isn't needed then most of that could be deleted before clipping to the correct area. —  ₪₪  ch1902   ₪₪  10:32, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * If it would make things easier only the names of the cities could remain and the legend could be left out altogether.S711 (talk) 11:41, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

IMPORTANT: this map is still frequently edit by user:Andrei nacu and user:Richardprins, request them to edit the map, or to give their opinion is a better way to process. Yug (talk)  23:18, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I tried, but without success.S711 (talk) 18:14, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Isn't there anyone who wants to try? How about it Goldsztajn, you wrote you would get to it, some weeks ago.S711 (talk) 10:39, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Help me then, at least, with a simple horizontal cut through the middle.S711 (talk) 10:58, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I think it is better if the original author/s do/es this given the comments above. --Goldsztajn (talk) 05:10, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Is nobody able or willing to simply halve this map? Very disappointing.S711 (talk) 21:27, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Old map
Article(s): Jesuit Missions of the Chiquitos Request: I would like to use the map from WDL or the original source in the above article. However I cannot find a way to get at the full map in high resolution. The 3MB tif at the WDL-site has too little resolution as has the jpg at the Brazilian library site (original source). Am I missing a link to the original hi-res source? If I zoom in with the zoom viewer I can save parts of the map (screensize) by just right-clicking and "save image as". However my screen is too small to fit the whole map in reasonable resolution. Maybe a Portuguese speaker can figure out the library site, or somebody with a big screen could help. Please let me know how I can get at a high resolution file of the map or upload it yourself (as ). Thanks. bamse (talk) 00:09, 27 April 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion:

Latin America map
Article(s): Latin America Request: The svg version should have French Guyana in green as png version. Though it is a French dependance, as Puerto Rico is of USA, it belongs to Latin America Graphist opinion: Done, I added French Guyana and the French islands in the Caribbean, I subtracted some English and Dutch speaking islands that had been shaded.

Article(s): Nintendo DSi

Request: This should be quick, easy and fun. If possible make into vector to allow this image to be used in place of the poor free version. It'd also be nice, but not mandatory to have shoulder lights illuminated -- penubag  (talk) 21:41, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: I spent about 10 minutes tracing this, but it's nowhere near done yet. If someone else wants to improve on it, please do. Cheers, Paranomia (talk) 23:53, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I made one. It is at File:Dsi white closed upright.svg . Tell me what you think :P. --Goldblattster (talk) 19:05, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Both of yours are good. Paranomia's was created from scratch and Goldblatter's was bitmap traced. I think I'll take Paranomia's and incorporate elements from Gold's and make a realistic looking finish. Thanks! -- penubag  (talk) 23:22, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Lymph Node Structure
Preliminary Version Article(s): Lymph node, and 93 more. Request: If this could be SVGd,as it suffers from lossy compression effects, that would be great... Connormah (talk) 23:58, 16 April 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion:

The first version is here. Feedback would be nice before I update the .png version with this. -綾波風神 (talk) 16:00, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Valves in the afferent vessels should have a line in the middle to indicate that they can open. I think that there are also valves in the efferent vessels (bottom), they're just shown wide open so you can't see them well on this small pic. --Yerpo (talk) 19:48, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Irridescent Canadia
Article(s): Fossils of the Burgess Shale, Canadia, various others to do with Burgess Shale; possibly articles on evolution of vision, as the colourful display in the NHM artcile makes little sense if nothing was capable of seeing and recognising it. Request: Like the one at the top of Colouring in the fossil past. It's the centenary of the discovery of the Burgess Shale this year, so a buddy and I fancy an FA or two on it. --Philcha (talk) 06:50, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

WW2 disease awareness poster
Article(s): Food poisoning and related Request: I took both photos from the Australian War Memorial. The previous version (see file history) was very dark; the current version is clearer and brighter, however has an obvious camera flash obstructing everything. Is it possible that this can be fixed? --  李博杰   | —Talk contribs email guestbook complaints 07:59, 11 April 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: Sorry, but as far as I can tell you must have permission from the AWM to reproduce its images, it cannot be assumed this is public domain. --Goldsztajn (talk) 09:39, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Adding a "not done" tag, re license issue.--Goldsztajn (talk) 07:40, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: if the poster itself is public domain, the AWM's claim to it is illegitimate (this kind of false claim is common practice among museums). We need to determine the actual copyright holder of the poster. Dcoetzee 02:01, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Image of Wikia founders needed
Article(s): Wikia, Jimmy Wales Request: Greetings, I'm looking for a decent-quality image of Wikia founders Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley. The best I could find is File:Angela Jimbo Piotrus - Wikimania 2006.jpg, but that includes unnecessary detail and is rather grainy. If there are no superior alternatives, could someone see if they could improve this image? Thanks, Skomorokh  14:44, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: Sorry there's been no reply to this. Could you not combine (or use next to each other) their official portraits? That photo above is not at all flattering to either of them, and can't be improved much. Note also that Angela is Mrs Beesley Starling now, since marrying Tim. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 12:01, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback. My main concern is the Jimmy Wales article, where dual portraits would not be a great help. Skomorokh  20:10, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Seats in the European Parliament
 Article(s): European Parliament, Member of the European Parliament, election articles etc. Request: Please, could anyone make an SVG with where each number is replaced by a small circle (or like this). We could use it to illustrate the composition of the parliament by colouring them. SSJ ☎ 14:51, 9 May 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion: =Resolved=

US Army flags

 * Those look very good. Although I can't find exact dimensions, it seems to me that the stars on the VCoS flag should be smaller, making the flag less crowded; in the images on the Army website I linked to (although they are tiny, I think I would trust them since the images are made and hosted by the Army) the stars appear about the same size as the round crest above the eagle's head. I also found this webpage which has a few more larger examples, if that helps with any of these. Thanks! - Gump Stump (talk) 16:02, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I've made the stars smaller. The links you gave (I went through them too quickly), have all the flags at the same dimensions, do you think I you change the VCofS to correspond with the other two? it is the US Army website after all. Sodacan (talk) 17:45, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I think I would make them the same dimensions; it is their website, I assume they know what they're doing. Thanks again. - Gump Stump (talk) 18:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Changes made Sodacan (talk) 18:33, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Brilliant, thank you - Gump Stump (talk) 20:07, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

SVGIfication
76.117.247.55 (talk) 01:29, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Articles: Organomercury

Request: SVGify, change to black, and reduce unnecessary whitespace. 76.117.247.55 (talk) 16:48, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Opinion: Comment - We may want to get someone from WP:CHEMS involved. SVG should follow the format shown at Mercury-fulminate.png and Grubbs Catalyst 1st Generation.svg. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 17:18, 18 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Might be worth SVGifiying mercury fulminate as well. This one, however, is simple enough that it should be easy (However the blue color can probably be changed to the more correct black). 76.117.247.55 (talk) 17:05, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep in mind that if the result turns out to be the exact same shape, it would have been wise to simply use our keyboards instead :)  Zoo Fari  00:49, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I have made it svg! hehe. --Goldblattster (talk) 16:38, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You've done a trace bitmap, which isn't needed for something as simple as this. Three letters in an arial-type font plus a straight line would have taken less time. gringer (talk) 00:41, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you rectify it then? 76.117.247.55 (talk) 01:08, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * @76.117.247.55 Rectify??? What does that mean?! @Gringer I know it is a trace bitmap, and I could have taken an easier route, but oh well. Done is done. --Goldblattster (talk) 02:06, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * First, if you are going to participate, do things right. It is obvious that your SVG is traced, and the nodes are incorrectly placed. Don't deny it as "Done is done". Also, the license is simply ridiculous by the fact that it is GFDL when it should be Public domain for ineligibility. And next time, upload at commons. For the requester: I made the clean SVG version.  Zoo Fari  19:47, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Ejly, you've loaded up a version which is basically just a LoC thumbnail created for cataloging purposes. However, here is a much higher resolution version of the photograph. (Also, here is a 20+MB version .) Can I suggest you load the first version up (ie ) and then see if it suits your purposes. You can then come back here and ask us if you need any more help. Also, can I suggest you load the file up onto wiki commons, it is quite easy to do and to create an account there. Regards. --Goldsztajn (talk) 07:03, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Response Thank you for your cordial reply. I uploaded a new image as directed to wikicommons and also note there is a higher res TIFF  available but it will not display for me. I think it would work well if cropped to focus on the subject of the article, Ralph Lyford. Again, thanks for your assistance. ejly (talk) 00:38, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. Great, thanks for doing the upload, I've placed the new image in the gallery above. I've then created a separate file for a headshot.  I've also cropped the original photo and done some minor cleaning.  The text on the photo indicates the woman in the photo is his wife, you may want to use the entire photo for the article rather than use the headshot...to me, it's actually a quite subtle and interesting photo of the couple and a nicer illustration.  A good find.--Goldsztajn (talk) 01:47, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

To the requester: Can you find (or write) what the text in the circle should be? It's almost impossible to tell what parts of it are actual text and what parts are JPEG compression artifacts since none of us can read the alphabet used. 76.117.247.55 (talk) 17:39, 3 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Writing in the circle is "ترقيپرور جمهورية فرقةسي". It was written in Ottoman Language. Also the it is a spacious writing. So we shouldn't use the Ottoman writing. Also I enjoy the logo which was made by ZooFari. I think, it's very good.--Lord Leatherface (talk) 21:08, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Don't worry, I only removed spots that were not even visible in the raster. These spots sometimes are created because of higher pigments due to artifacts.

European Parliament - Ireland constituencies, 2009
Article(s): North-West (European Parliament constituency), East (European Parliament constituency), South (European Parliament constituency), Dublin (European Parliament constituency), European Parliament election, 2009 (Ireland) Request: For the 2009 European Parliament election in Ireland, some constituency boundaries have changed with moving of counties Longford and Westmeath from the East constituency to the North-West constituency. This means new images are needed for the above articles. The current ones were created by User:barryob and are GFDL. Barryob does not appear to be active at present. The current images like North-West (European Parliament constituency).svg should ideally be renamed as North-West (European Parliament constituency 2004-2009).svg versions for historical purposes. A new image needs to be created for the current boundaries, 1 with each constituency highlighted (North-West, East, South and Dublin). Also, a new image displaying all constituencies but without any of them highlighted is needed for the main 2009 Ireland European Parliament election page. An example of what the 2009 boundaries look like, is available here - (Scroll down and the map is on the right), see also the maps in the Longford and Westmeath articles for county boundaries. Please note that the Northern Ireland European Parliament constituency is a UK constituency, and so it not part of the Ireland constituencies. The 2009 European Parliament election will be held on 4-7 June 2009, so it would be nice (thought not necessary, of course) to have the images by then.

 * There, how's that? Quite a few perspective adjustments, and selective levels adjustments on the first one. It may be better for quality to run a virtual machine and take screenshots of its BIOS, or to put a hardware video capture box between the PC and the monitor, they're commonly used for recording video from games consoles. Only use a camera as a very last resort to get an image of a computer screen, as they photograph very badly (especially CRT monitors as opposed to TFT/LCD ones). If you must use a camera, set it for low light (maximum ISO), automatic white balance, high resolution and the furthest telephoto zoom you can get. If the longest telephoto is too long to fit the whole screen in, stand further back. Take the photo straight-on to the monitor, but if you must move, only move in one direction (vertically/horizontally). Don't tilt the camera, clean the monitor beforehand (to remove fingerprints and dust) and never, ever use the flash without a diffuser. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 15:37, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Article(s): Brest (Belarus) Request: The flag is of terrible quality, and should be vectorized. If the flag is vectorized, please do the COA as well. Connormah (talk) 02:48, 24 May 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):


 * ✅: traced COA, then added to flag. gringer (talk) 04:20, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks good, but the flag should be white in the middle, not transparent, but I'll fix it myself. Thanks! Connormah 13:14, 25 May 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Connormah (talk • contribs)

George and Martha Washington Signatures
Martha Washington's Signature Very faint version of Martha Washington's Signature (bottom) another version of Martha's signature Article(s): George Washington, Martha Washington Request: SVG versions of these signatures would be nice. Martha's signature would be nice transparent as a SVG, like George's would be. Connormah (talk) 22:19, 23 May 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):




 * I created that image some time ago for another project, will it work here? Find me a decent bitmap version of her sig and I'll convert it to SVG as well... — <i style="color:#6600FF;">raeky</i> ( talk 02:14, 26 May 2009 (UTC)



Vector'd from this source, will that work? The source wasn't that great so there isn't much detail left... — <i style="color:#6600FF;">raeky</i> ( talk 05:11, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Article(s): John Adams, Abigail Adams ...... Request: Please vectorize. Also, it'd help if you could give me your techniques so I can do more myself. Thanks. Connormah 23:39, 26 May 2009 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):


 * To do the others I used the program InkScape which is open source, but you need a fairly decent input image to get any decent result. The linked images above are tiny and will not vector. So you'd have to search the internet to the clearest largest version of the signature you can find to use. If you can find some I'll do the conversions. — <i style="color:#6600FF;">raeky</i> ( talk 00:46, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Here's a bigger one of Jefferson's and Adams'. I can't find a bigger one of Abigail's, can you work with that one? Connormah 01:19, 27 May 2009 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Connormah (talk • contribs)
 * I did Adams', I'll try to do them, but I'd like someone to do Roosevelt, and the 2 external ones. Help on the ones not dine would also be appreciated. Connormah (talk) 02:28, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think Adams signature should be improved, it looks slightly different from the original Arteyu ?  <sub style="color:green;">Blame it on me !  07:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Which version are you talking about? Theres many reference images to his signature on the web, and of course each time someone signs their sig it's not exactly the same. The one I chose I think is fairly representitive, and there isn't many choices for ones high enough resolution to vector from.... — <i style="color:#6600FF;">raeky</i> ( talk 07:40, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

✅ Going to call this one done, all the requested signatures are linked. — <i style="color:#6600FF;">raeky</i> ( talk 20:47, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * So, what did you use for these ones? Did you trace them manually in Inkscape? Connormah (talk) 00:12, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * These: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, Theodore Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson. They where auto-converted in InkScape using Trace Bitmap (Shift+Alt+B) — <i style="color:#6600FF;">raeky</i> ( talk 01:13, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for the tips. I have been working on others with the Live Trace in Illustrator. Thanks again, raeky! Connormah (talk) 03:38, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
