Jeri Ryan & Dana Delany
Article(s): Jeri Ryan and Dana Delany Request: Literally, anything you could kindly do to make them better, both are a bit blurry (more Dana), and Dana isnt looking at the camera, so anything (cropped, resolution, lighting) which can be done, much appreciated. — M.Mario  (T/C) 13:08, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

For Jeri, anything again which can be done. Maybe add a grey background (like Dana) instead of the current. I was proposing that - you see all the images here? (the ones similiar to the above) could you merge any of them, to make a good image? Im not sure if you can, but I might as well ask. With Dana, is there anything else which could be done to make it look like she is facing the camera more? — M.Mario  (T/C) 11:53, 28 July 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Did something with Dana Delany. A small improvement from the last version, plus a bit of a crop. Damn that woman ages well. She still got it goin' on.... – JBarta (talk) 01:37, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Ethnic groups in Vietnam
Article(s): List of ethnic groups in Vietnam Request: Crop the border (including the caption, which we can write and translate for ourselves). Remove the reflection of the person taking the picture, if possible. Shrigley (talk) 02:44, 3 August 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

I gotta say, that image is so awful as to be nearly useless for an encyclopedia. I think a better solution would to use that photo as the basis of a new SVG image. The end result would be so much better... and would actually be readable. – JBarta (talk) 05:05, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the big bulk of images...
Article(s): Nicola Duffett, Ameet Chana, Perry Fenwick, Cheryl Fergison, Jamie Foreman, Ricky Norwood, Charlie G Hawkins, Himesh Patel, John Partridge (actor)

Request: Sorry for the big bulk of images. It's just they all need doing. Anything which else needs to be done, such as brightening, quality of photo, etc.

1) Crop at the bottom and left side, which gets rid of the url at the bottom.

2) Crop to person at the left.

3) Crop the bottom, which gets rid of the url at the bottom.

4) Crop the bottom, which gets rid of the url at the bottom.

5) Crop the left, to just show the man. (No lady in orange top)

6) Crop the bottom, to get rid of the arm and book.

7) Crop up, to give it a more same width by length look.

8) Crop the bottom, which gets rid of the url at the bottom.

9) Crop up, to give it a more same width by length look. — M.Mario  (T/C) 22:20, 6 August 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):✅ Centpacrr (talk) 00:54, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for doing those. Could you maybe unbrighten 4,6 & 8? Especially 6, its looks too bright. — M.Mario  (T/C) 09:34, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Geoffrey Arend
Article(s): Geoffrey Arend Request: Can you crop at the bottom bringing the image up to give a more squarish look? Also, any other fixes which can be made, if there is anyway to get him looking at the camera, if not dont worry. Thanks! — M.Mario  (T/C) 09:58, 30 July 2012 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

Cleaned up a little and cropped. – JBarta (talk) 10:39, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Original image was reverted and re-uploaded, in my opinion unnecessarily. But that's just my opinion. — Jdcollins13 (talk) 20:59, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
 * For minor uncontested improvements where the original is unlikely to be used in lieu of the improved version, overwriting is the sensible thing to do. A new file adds unnecessary clutter and makes more work for others who then have to update articles manually with the new image. The offending editor is the original uploader, and original uploaders are notorious for defending "their image" from edits, often requesting "consultation" first. Such is life on Wikipedia. – JBarta (talk) 21:16, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Rotate picture
Article(s): Joaquim Nabuco Request: Please rotate the picture and crop the white borders. Lecen (talk) 15:32, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, but that's not a "done". I didn't ask for that. --Lecen (talk) 20:43, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I want the picture straightened, which means that it needs to be rotated to the left. --Lecen (talk) 11:04, 7 August 2012 (UTC)


 * The only way to make it look straight is to crop it as I have done. If it is rotated the subject will look like he is leaning backwards.--ukexpat (talk) 17:37, 8 August 2012 (UTC)


 * But that's ok. That's how the picture is. All I want is to be rotated and straightened. If you don't want to do it, fine, then let someone elese try it. --Lecen (talk) 18:03, 8 August 2012 (UTC)


 * ✅ Thank you very much, Centpacrr! You did as I requested and I'm really grateful! --Lecen (talk) 19:43, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

I didn't rotate as it would have looked odd, so I just cropped, cleaned up a few spots and tweaked the levels.


 * Why would you want him leaning backwards, Lecen? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:01, 7 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Rotated and cropped original image as requested. Centpacrr (talk) 01:47, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Article(s): Mark Wegner Request: I don't know if this is possible, but if so, please remove the arm at the bottom-left of the image. If the photo has to be cropped a bit to achieve this, that's fine.

 * Thanks for that. Any reason for the quite significant reduction? I thought up to 300 px was the rule of thumb, which would be closer to a 30% reduction.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 16:00, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I found the policy I had seen, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:MOSIMAGES#Images "Lead images should be no wider than "upright=1.35" (by default this is 300 pixels)."--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 16:07, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
