PNG map of Oman, and its location relative to the rest of the world.

JPG detailed map of Oman, showing its exlaves

SVG with enclaves

Article(s): Oman

Request: The first map doesn't show Oman's two exclaves (areas of Oman within the United Arab Emirates. Could the map (a) be modified to show these areas, and (b) be converted to an SVG? The second map can be used to determine the location of the exclaves. For bonus points, the second map is a JPEG and could really do with being converted to an SVG - but now I'm just pushing my luck ;-) I don't know if it's relevant, but the first map comes from Commons - commons:File:LocationOman.png- if I need to make the request there let me know (I've watchlisted this page, or you can ping me on my talk page. Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 14:36, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: There's an SVG version of the location map, it will need to be shown I'd guess at least at 700-800px for both the enclaves to be visible.--Goldsztajn (talk) 01:56, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Awesome! I think that so long as a user clicking on the map (and seeing an enlarged version) can see the exclaves then that should be fine. Thanks for your work on this, it's appreciated. Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 14:37, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

I've made the nominal size larger (from 600px to 1000px), this way one click to the image will reveal the external territories (rather than having to click and zoom).--Goldsztajn (talk) 01:14, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Indian National Congress flag

Flag of the Indian National Congress

Article(s): Indian National Congress

Request: The current image has got all the proportions of the hand election symbol of the Congress wrong. In fact, it looks like it was drawn by a small child. Please try to improve the image by using a reference image found here which itself is taken from the party's manifesto that can be found at the party website, so speaks rohith. 20:17, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): It looks like you want the hand bigger right? I don't see any obvious errors with the hand itself but rather how large it is. I'll take a stab at it, but this is my first time, so bear with me.75.93.119.255 (talk) 13:44, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Passing the parameter

Hi i want to a image as a function, something like [[File:National_shield|No=2| 100 px]] to get --Naveenpf (talk) 00:13, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:

Non-graphist opinion - I don't believe it is a parameter - the value "1" is incorporated into the image. I just created

Indian National Highway 2

in Commons, is this the type of thing you need, or must it be parameter driven?

I need a parameter driven image.Thanx in advance--Naveenpf (talk) 03:37, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Template it. Create a template with text [[File:Image {{{1}}}.png|thumb|200px|blah blah]], then use the template. This requires, however, that you have for every (relevant) value of {{{1}}} a corresponding image. Shouldn't be too hard with SVG, just boring. MER-C 10:38, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

That is really boring. any other option ? --Naveenpf 02:28, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

What is it you want to do? Generate a set of images with a shield with the number on it? Or do you want to dynamically create such an image. I really don't understand the idea here. If you are doing this by yourself on your local computer, you can simply put a string in place of the X that won't appear up in the SVG, such as REPLACEME, then use Bash+sed/python/whatever to use regular expressions to solve your problem. If you can provide more background on the problem, then a solution might be available. User A1 (talk) 05:55, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Take a look @ {{MES-E}}. You need nearly identically named files, but that's the most elegant way. As far as I know there's no way to pass the number directly to the SVG rendered (Which is good, that would be a massive security hole). 76.117.247.55 (talk) 02:01, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I see that this request is stale, but there will be others like it in the future. Can we satisfy them all at a single (if challenging) stroke? Let's make a template which takes a text parameter for the road number and superimposes it on a background SVG of an unnumbered shield for this road type. We can model this on {{Location map}} to allow syntax like

{{Road shield|India NH|width=30|number=1|color=black|font=whatever}}

This would require "Road shield India NH.svg" with the yellow shield and letters NH and a blank space for the number. However, we only need one simple SVG per road type (maybe five SVGs per country), not one per individual highway. ("Number" here is a shorthand for any road designator: "number=A601(M)" could give a valid British road sign.) Certes (talk) 13:51, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Would that work for scaled images? IE. would the letter show up in the right place, size, etc? If so, that would be VERY useful. 76.117.247.55 (talk) 19:18, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm trying it now but I'm about to have a Wikibreak and don't think I'll get anything useful published before I go away. First indications are that it is difficult and the resulting templates will be confusing, but it will probably work. Scaling should just be a matter of doing some arithmetic in the template to set position and font-size = width * some scaling factors.

A few design tweaks: The "India NH" bit is not just an SVG but a simple template specifying the background image (any usual format) and the font, colour and size of the text to add. Let's call it "marker" rather than "shield" so it will be attractive to nations like the UK with other sign shapes. I'd also like to use standard country codes followed by a country-dependent road class. That gives us a simplified use like

{{Road marker|IN NH|1}}

The font, default size, etc. come from sub-template Road_marker_IN_NH but can be over-ridden with named parameters if desired. Certes (talk) 19:39, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

123

The template is now available for testing. For example, the shield shown on the right is not an SVG file specific to one (fictional) route; this paragraph contains the template usage {{Road marker|IN NH|123}}. Please see {{Road marker}} for further details, including a full list of optional parameters such as custom captions. I suggest we pause to collect comments at this point before rushing into using the template in articles. Certes (talk) 21:17, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot .... --naveenpf (talk) 12:32, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Shrink fair-use image

current 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.) rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 15:18, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Coat of Arms of Eritrea

Article(s): Eritrea

Request: Alright, I know this image is fair-use, but I think it needs to be converted to a vector. The quality of this image, I feel in innapropriate for Wikipedia and NEEDS a SVG. Thanks in advance to whoever does this. Connormah (talk) 23:07, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

One question: Can you find a free raster of it somewhere, so the SVG can be free? A copyrighted country coat of arms feels like a throwback to the bad old days of vector-images and would destroy most of its usefulness... 76.117.247.55 (talk) 01:48, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Where would you suggest I search? Connormah (talk) 05:28, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Actually, can you just upload it under a non-free use rationale? Connormah (talk) 02:59, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I think I was very confused when I made that comment. I'm pretty sure people have created free SVGs from fair use ones (That Commonwealth Games one comes to mind), so finding a "free" raster is not required? 76.117.247.55 (talk) 01:43, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Coat of arms of the Republic of Macedonia

Stale. DyceBot (talk) 10:28, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

[SVG version] We, at the Macedonian Wikipedia and on Commons in general, are facing one problem concerning the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Macedonia. The problem is in the design of the COA in the only SVG version existing on Commons (and being used everywhere). The particualr problem are the colours of the COA and the star that could be found at the top of the emblem. Below is a description of the problem in details.

The coat of arms as it should be (unfortunately, only in GIF)

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)

[edit] Panorama of Târgovişte

Panorama of Târgovişte, Romania

Article(s): Târgovişte

Request: Hi. I need this photo to be fixed. There are some issues:

• In the left section of the photo it can be seen the difference between the last 2 joined photo.
• The bottom left part of the image is occupied by a stone pillar. Can it be removed?
• The colors may need adjusting as well as the brightness, contrast, etc.
• I think the horizon can be straighted.

This is all it needs to be done (in my opinion). If you find out other issues please solve them. Thank you very much.—Sebitalk 12:47, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): The easiest way to fix this would be to use the source images to create a completely new panorama. Do you have access to them? wadester16 05:31, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I do, they are made by myself. Here is a link with a .rar file containing the images. It would be great if you can make a better panorama, because it is the only I know to exist on the Internet. Thank you very much for your help.—Sebitalk 16:45, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I have restitched the panorama to get rid of the stripe on the left, but there's not much I can do about the brightness/contrast and stone block. I've already pushed the brightness so far it won't really take any more and the pillar is a bit beyond my abilities with a cloning brush; maybe someone else can have a go. Time3000 (talk) 09:06, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, thank you for your work. If someone else can resolve the other requests, please do it. Thank you again—Sebitalk 15:27, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

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.

Graphist opinion:

Post them somewhere and link to them here (don't upload to WP if they're copyrighted). Also I'd like to point out that this image File:Coll_3.jpg unless you operated the SEM and captured that image then you can't claim copyright, you put a source that is clearly within range of applicable copyright laws. That image probably will be prodded for deletion as soon as it leaves your personal namespace or until someone else sees it. Also for your article be sure to include as many sources and references as you can, didn't see many when I browsed it. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 13:49, 18 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)

Request: The said SVG above appears to be a raster saved in a SVG format. Can someone please fix this? Thanks. Connormah (talk) 21:03, 19 July 2009 (UTC) Connormah (talk) 21:03, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
