Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop

Shortcuts

The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
This specific page is the requests page for the illustration workshop. Anyone can make a request for an illustration to be improved or created for a Wikipedia article. Clicking the "New Request" button will bring you to a standard template for submitting requests, as well as general advice that should be followed.

Advice to requesters

All requests:

Please make sure your request is "legitimate" by copyright. If the image(s) are in the public domain or freely licensed, you are fine. If the image(s) are "Fair use", there are only certain things we can do with them without falling afoul of Wikipedia's fair-use policies.
- If you are requesting assistance with a copyright or fair-use image, don't display it on this page; place {{GLNF|Example.png|caption|align=left}} to create a link to it. Do not add the File: extension. Our fair-use policy does not allow displaying fair-use images out of their articles on ANY account.
Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed.
If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.

SVG requests:

Make sure your request can actually BE vectorized. Note that vector drawings are not suitable for certain applications. We generally use SVG format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such. Certain things, photographs especially, are totally impossible to vectorize.
Per our non-free content policy, vectorization of copyrighted images is not permitted. If a vectorized non-free image is desired, seek out such an image from the copyright holder.

Redraw human head

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 07:02, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Endocrine glands shown on drawing of human torso

Article(s): Endocrine system, Thymus, Human physiology, Endocrine gland, Endocrine disease

Request:

The brain rotated 90 degrees within the head is disquieting. (Maybe some readers don't recognize the rotation and think that the illustration is correct?) Please redraw the head turned in the correct direction. (Losing the long hair is minor in comparison!) For an example of a more correctly drawn head-with-brain, see illustration at right. Thank you, Hordaland (talk) 10:47, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a shame that this request is "stale" without any comments on why it isn't of interest. --Hordaland (talk) 07:21, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For me personally, I'd rather not modify a PNG file in this way. They don't scale well, and any edits made can be quite difficult to look right (particularly for colour changes if lines are anti-aliased). Had it been a vector graphic (like the example you pointed out), I would have done the switch a few days after this had been posted. gringer (talk) 12:44, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explanation! (The example I pointed to is indeed lovely.) Hordaland (talk) 17:48, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Request: Do something with them tjat tje image becomes svg format. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.79.134.87 (talk • contribs)

Graphist opinion(s):

Eagle

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 07:02, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Eagle

Request: remove excess edging top and bottom. yes, I know other versions are available. no, they are not equivalent. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 04:15, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Considering the history it might be better to upload the derivative version with a different name. --Leyo 12:52, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For what purpose? What possible good can it serve to have such a wide blank margin top-and-bottom? Others have stated the alternative is not an acceptable equivalent.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 13:18, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think it looks perfectly fine with the margin in Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/Userboxes/Eagle Scout. The original author might have added this margin intentionally. --Leyo 13:39, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Done by snubcube

Shimon Peres

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 07:02, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seiwa Genji

Resolved

New version

Article(s): Seiwa Genji

Request: cleanup... Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 14:54, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Can you specify the task? Cleaning from what? JPEG artifacts or making a transparent PNG? --Ras67 (talk) 16:34, 21 November 2010 (UTC) Done by Ras67 (talk) 15:38, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Transparency, trim and boost legibility.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 16:50, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think more "boost" of legibility is impossible. --Ras67 (talk) 15:38, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 15:54, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

State Police

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 07:02, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): State Police

Request: vectorize. Please note Louisiana, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Texas and Virginia are not properly licensed and should not be at Commons. Florida has a proper tag so is okay. Please just give the new vectors the name of the agency. Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 15:09, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Pentagon

Article(s): Pentagon

Request: remove border... Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 02:03, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Please clarify: do you need the white border removed? If so, there is a problem because the mini-globe "the west" intrudes into the border. If you mean to remove the black line around the picture, that shouldn't be hard, but is it really that intrusive? --Slashme (talk) 06:53, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't request too many at once, though

Article(s): Iridium

Request: I have made note on the discussion page for Iridium as to the issue. On the main article page, there appears to be an error in the box on the right, labelled "General properties." In the section describing the number of "Electrons per shell," the box reads: 2, 8, 18, 32, 15, 2 (Image) But when the image is viewed, it depicts: 2, 8, 18, 32, 17

Can iridium have 5 and 6 electron shells?
