    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.

    Article(s): Hawaiian sovereignty movement

    Request: create flags for Nation of Hawai'i (gold/purple/black)[1][2], Ka Lahui Hawai Polynesian sovereignty movement (blue)[3] and Hawai'i Ko Aloha (gaggy rainbow)[4], in that order of use... Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 08:10, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Graphist opinion(s): Image's request under progression Request taken by Orionist.

    The sources for the flag of the Nation of Hawai'i are of very low res. I found these sources: [5], [6] and [7]. They are okay, but if you know of any better source it'd be of great help! I'll do the other two flags first. -- Orionist ★ talk 03:48, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    I wish I did, sorry.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 18:21, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah! I totally forgot about these! I'll get back to working on them immediately. I just need to know where to upload them (WP or Commons) and what license to choose. -- Orionist ★ talk 16:35, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Request: vectorize, the png is not as clear or useful, I would use the jpg... Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 08:11, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Graphist opinion(s):

    Please, before one or the other get deleted.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 09:26, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    It would probably be easier for you to upload the images to an external source like imgur (or whatever else you like) that way if they get deleted they're still available to whoever wants to do the conversion. §hepTalk 22:56, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    The png was deleted, please vectorize the jpg.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 06:47, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    If this logo was designed before 1994 it should be in the public domain in Syria (its home country) and the US. The university was established in 1923, so barring a change of the logo after 1994, it is most probably in the public domain. As for vectorization, I don't think it's possible at this resolution, not mentioning the drawbacks of vectorizing vs procuring the official vector file, as summarized in our advice at the top of the page. I've had a quick look at their website and found nothing. I'll try to do more searching later, but finding something useful seems improbable. -- Orionist ★ talk 04:08, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Request: vectorize. http://www.cem.va.gov/hm/hmemb.asp may be of use. thanks. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 09:27, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: The government says it also uses symbols for "Lutheran Church Missouri Synod" and "New Apostolic Church", yet these are not reflected in the article. Might want to add them. §hepTalk 04:12, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Added "Lutheran Church Missouri Synod", can't find "New Apostolic Church" but it's at http://www.nak.org/en/ --Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 14:06, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Graphist opinion(s):

    Yea, though I am most grateful for the fruits of thine labor, yet I am heartily confuseth. Why dost thou upload such images as svg and chance others as jpg, separating the sheep from the goats as the wheat from the chaff? Though perplexed I have faith that in time the answer shall be made known unto me.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 15:19, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Umm? The jpgs I uploaded were straight from the government. They were better quality than the originals from a few years ago. I uploaded SVGs of the two that I converted to vectors. The jpgs I uploaded were never vectors. Sorry, I'm not exactly sure what you were asking... §hepTalk 00:06, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, sorry, I mean I was hoping to get all of these converted to svg, and some you start by first uploading a jpg, so I didn't understand the thought process for uploading two variants. --Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 00:56, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not planning to convert them all, I thought the new versions would make the job of whoever does make them an SVG easier. §hepTalk 01:26, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I get it, thank you!--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 13:05, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    I've made some progress on the Seicho-No-Ie symbol, but I can't get the outer spokes to come out right. I went ahead and uploaded my best try, but I'm sure it could be done much better. §hepTalk 18:32, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    You've traced the jpg almost perfectly, when I overlay them - the "problem" is that the spokes aren't evenly shaped in the jpg, and you've faithfully reproduced that... It's probably good enough, but I might try to redraw that outer path with a more even, repeating shape later, if you like - although a better original would help in deciding what that shape should precisely be.  Begoon&#149;talk 06:00, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Ok - there's an attempt to even out the spokes a bit. It's not perfect because, aside from having to interpret what shape they are "supposed" to be, I did it with a 32 point star, masked with a couple of circles - however, I then had to manually add bezier curves to all the nodes, so any unevenness left is where I clumsily didn't do all 64 nodes the same. In the end it's debatable whether it's much "better".  Begoon&#149;talk 07:52, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment : on Inkscape, there is a way to select quickly a bunch of nodes in a path. When you are in Path Editing mode (F2), while pressing a key combination like Ctrl+Alt, you can draw a freehand polygon with you mouse. All the nodes contained in the polygon will then be in you selection. And then a Shift+S with make all the nodes in your selection soft Beziers. If your path was regular at the beginning (this is likely, as a boolean operation of regular objects), the soft Beziers will be also. Inkscape is magic ! Arnaud Ramey (talk) 11:05, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll look at that next time - if I can also simultaneously adjust the shape of all the selected beziers then that would indeed have been ideal. I confess to a preference for AI just for the interface, and general usability, but I'll happily use Inkscape for some tasks.  Begoon&#149;talk 11:19, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Seicho-No-Ie is much better, calling it done, close enough for government work. Oh, bad joke...--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 03:09, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    §hepTalk 19:28, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks for that work, §hep, it will, indeed, be very helpful to whoever does take these on. I'm afraid I won't personally be doing that until the requester has time to respond to your earlier request for help, and kind offer to assist. Sorry if that seems harsh, but I do feel you at least deserved a response, bearing in mind the effort you have put in.  Begoon&#149;talk 20:06, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    6 months. ShepTalk 21:58, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    That's just approximate, though. Could be shorter or longer, of course, depending on complexity, and reluctance to help - but that's just my opinion.  Begoon&#149;talk 22:10, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    What! it would take 6 months to do these 4 logos are u guys kidding or what. Come on please guys try to make it little faster. Look guys if i would have known how to do this stuff i would do it myself, since i have no idea and its bit strenuous therefore I'm reluctant to provide any help. But please make it little faster i have posted it long ago.--Kkm010 | Talk with me 04:17, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Speaking for myself, no, I wasn't kidding - but I'm just one of many here. Personally, I'll put in effort for anyone provided they try to help me to help them to a reasonable level, and there are lots of that type of request that I feel my limited time is better spent on. Someone else may not care about the fact that you are not prepared to do anything to help yourself, despite repeated requests, finding it too "strenuous". I hope so.  Begoon&#149;talk 06:50, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

      SVG version


    Article(s): Church of England, St James' Church, Stretham plus 9 others

    Request: Please convert this logo to a vector format using this style guide as per {{shouldbesvg}}. The current licence for the image has been challenged (a permanent link is used here; refresh the target page to get any later responses). Consensus is formed that the image licence can be changed to {{PD-textlogo}} under threshold of originality. The logo has temporarily been withdrawn from the St James' Church, Stretham article, as a licence issue came up in the peer-review. We are awaiting someone with more skill to change the licence Senra (Talk) 15:51, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Graphist opinion:  Done: those guidelines were excellent. Nice touch that they also provided an EPS file (although a little odd that the colour versions were only TIF). Because it was PD-textlogo, I've put it on commons. gringer (talk) 09:05, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    I very much appreciate the fast and fuss free graphics work done here. Thank you. It seems the contested licence was re-contested, so it is no longer {{PD-textlogo}}. I am not copyright aware enough to know whether or not the vector version can still be used. If it cannot now be used, I am sincerely sorry for making unnecessary work. In future, I will await more input before declaring consensus --Senra (Talk) 14:40, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll still stick with the license I've put there and keep it on commons. I don't think an 'e' with a cross on it is complex enough to meet the threshold of originality. Others are, of course, free to disagree with me. It's about as creative as The ARD logo, which is not original enough under at least German law (and my guess is that it wouldn't hold up in New Zealand either). gringer (talk) 00:15, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Request: Is it possible to make the symbol for finity. It can be made based on the symbol placed on Horus' hat. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jeff_Dahl#Finity_symbol KVDP (talk) 08:26, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Graphist opinion(s):

    Actually "finity" is not a word. You probably mean "finiteness", as an antonym of "infinity". I never knew finiteness had a symbol. Were you referring to the spiral on the crown? The article about the Deshret states that "The end has a curly wire on it, that represents the proboscis of a honey bee." My google search yielded just on useful link, this book, but it considers the circle or sphere as the symbol of finiteness, which makes much more sense than the spiral. If you have any material or links with more details, please post them here, I'd really like to read more about the subject. Yes and so we can help you, please indicate exactly which part of the crown you're referring to. Regards, -- Orionist ★ talk 16:26, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
