    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.

    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]

    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]

    How long shall it take to convert 4 logos into SVG ?--Kkm010 | Talk with me 12:47, 28 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]
    Please don't do that four logos are still left out, those are not done yet.--Kkm010 | Talk with me 14:02, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

      Horus image

    Article(s): Finity

    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]

    Request: please vectorize... Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 04:20, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Graphist opinion(s): I've done some searching, but neither of the companies exist any more and most of their sites are deadlinks. ShepTalk 04:24, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Not true, I work for them, they've just been subsumed by a corporate raider. Not a COI request, just saying they still exist.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 12:05, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry for the misinformation. The websites Wikipedia has links to Nova and Geos are both dead. I'll keep looking. ShepTalk 16:55, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Aforementioned corporate raider is G.Communication. What are you searching for?--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 17:09, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    (edit conflict)And I guess I should clarify a bit. I found part of the nova logo, but it's just the letters (NOVA) and doesn't have the flower so I didn't upload it. I can't find anything current about GEOS that is active, every link I find is always dead. IE [8]. I've found the older logo [9] in multiple places but no trace of the new one. Do you know what GEOS's current website is? I'll continue to look. ShepTalk 17:12, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm looking for an official source for the logo. Since they're NFC I prefer to use an image directly from the source and not a derivative. ShepTalk 17:12, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Geos changed a couple of weeks ago, this came from an e-mail attachment. Based on their clarity, neither appears a derivative.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 18:04, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay. Was the attachment you received a PDF? If you still have it, could you check to see if they used a vector image or a bitmap? Thanks, ShepTalk 18:36, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't, unfortunately.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 23:30, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    It looks to me like Nova has dropped the flower from their logo. Do you know if that is correct? ShepTalk 00:19, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I believe both variants are still used, the flower one is better.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 02:44, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Article(s): Coat of arms of Burma

    Request: Colorize and vectorize, please, or should I just ask for a black and white lineart svg version? The original coat of arms contained the Burmese text ပြည်ထောင်စုမြန်မာနိုင်ငံတော် on the banner, which translates "Union of Burma", as well as three chinthe (the chinthe at the top was replaced by a star). Additionally, the cogwheel was a circle surrounded by Verse 194 of the Buddhavagga in the Dhammapada in Pali: သမဂ္ဂါနံ တပေါ သုခေါ (samagganam tapo sukho), which translates to "happiness through harmony" or "well-being through unity."

    Church floor plan for St John the Baptist Church, Inglesham

    Article(s): St John the Baptist Church, Inglesham

    Request: I'm not sure if this is the right place to request & I don't currently have any images to put above. Yesterday I started this article about this really interesting church. This paper from 1931 includes a plan (page 193) but I'm not sure about the copyright status & it has obviously been scanned/copied etc before being made available on the web. I intend to put the article up for DYK soon, but would hope to take it to GA later and it is at that stage I suspect I will be asked for a floor plan showing the nave, chancel and aisles. Any help appreciated (or tell me a better place to put this request).— Rod talk 10:50, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Graphist opinion: I believe the map would fall under {{PD-UK}}, but not {{PD-US}} so it would be non-free. You'll probably get a more informed answer at WP:MCQ. If it turns out the image is now PD or you can find an older source, someone here can help with extracting the image if you need it. ShepTalk 21:51, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

      Test

    Article(s): Planned for Members of the Dewan Rakyat, 12th Malaysian Parliament

    Request: It's not in the article yet due to thumbnail rendering issues with the text, in particular the disproportionate scaling of text size with the image width. An earlier discussion can be found here. I am aware of some text rendering bugs in SVG, but have no idea how to fix it. Hytar (talk) 19:37, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Graphist opinion(s): I think that should do the trick. ShepTalk 21:14, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    That's a simple way out, but not what I hoped for. I'm trying to keep the file size down to allow convenient source editing of the file, which also includes the text. Since I nearly rewrite the source from scratch (first time doing this), I think something like the XML namespace or other parameters are not declared, causing the rendering issues.

    I know there's a way to retain the <text> tag and making it render correctly, though I'm not saying that your method cannot be used. No hard feelings okay? Hytar (talk) 12:47, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Have you tried running the image through a validator? I'm not sure if this would be helpful to you or not. Sorry I couldn't help, ShepTalk 20:09, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure, that sort of helped. Still, after consulting this link to add transform matrix, it didn't work out as expected. I wonder whether some references to SVG text bugs here would help. Earlier I ploughed through some SVGs with <text> that thumbnails are rendered correctly, but nothing meaningful turned out from those sources from what I see.
    Also, I wonder why the first version worked while subsequent uploads failed to render properly... Hytar (talk) 21:39, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the above works. Is that what you were looking for? ShepTalk 21:37, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
