    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.

    Vectorisation of some 19th century scientists' Signatures

    Stale
     – DyceBot (talk) 07:03, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]


    Article(s): see image captions. Surprisingly, there does not seem to be an article on John Marshall yet (he was a British surgeon and FRS who lived from 1818-1891), but I am currently writing it.

    Request: I would like to request the vectorisation of the above signatures of ten 19th century scientists. Unfortunately, no higher resolution of the images is available., so I hope they're fine. I don't want to be insolent and request all of them at once, but maybe someone would like to vectorise them one after another over the course of some time. Thanks in advance!

    Article(s): Brain

    Request: We need an illustration of an oligodendrocyte forming the myelin sheath around a central nervous system axon, for the article, Brain. There are no free images that I can find. I list here several links to non-free illustrations. Would anybody on this project be able to knock up an illustration for us. If not, I'll give it a shot with pencil and paper.

    Cheers. Anthony (talk) 08:06, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Graphist opinion(s):

    Image's request under progression Request taken by Andrew c.: I gave this a shot. Used an existing neuron diagram, and just added the oligodendrocyte. Check out File:Neuron with oligodendrocyte and myelin sheath.svg. Tell me what you think. Maybe it could be cropped even closer, and the zoomed in detail box remove. -Andrew c [talk] 00:25, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Wow! I'm glad you beat me to this request because you've done a very good job! I'd only suggest - apart from a closer crop - that the action of wrapping be demonstrated more clearly, something like [8], and for the detail box something like [9]. Maybe you can do that by making the sheaths opaque and adding some shadow? I don't know. I hope you don't find my suggestions annoying. Regards, -- Orionist ★ talk 17:32, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    That is SO impressive. Thank you. I have left a note at Talk:Brain inviting comments. I'll post a summary here in a few days. Beautiful! Anthony (talk) 18:14, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Coming here from Talk:Brain, I also want to congratulate and thank you on excellent work! A few personal opinions: I agree that a little more cropping would be good, but I definitely would keep the zoomed detail box. Please label the nucleus of the Oligodendrocyte as the "Nucleus", and delete the nucleus (including its yellow area) from the inset and from each of the myelin sheaths. Please delete both instances of "(Schwann cell)". (Thus, these labels would simply be, respectively, "Myelin Sheath" and no label at all, with the nucleus removed from the inset. The idea of wanting this image is that we wanted one that does not refer to Schwann cells specifically.) Also, please make the Oligodendrocyte (now magenta) the same blue color as the Myelin Sheaths. (The idea is that they are parts of the same cell.) Perhaps my fellow editors from Brain will have other ideas. Thanks again! --Tryptofish (talk) 18:33, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I want to first reiterate that all I did was add the oligodendrocyte to an already exiting, very superb diagram of a neuron. The vast majority of the work should be credited to LadyofHats. Next, I really appreciate the comments. They are quite helpful, and I'll get to work on them ASAP. The reason why I had the oligodendrocytes a different color from the sheath was I was taking cues from this and this. But I can easily change the color, and transparency, and try to make the wrapping more apparent, and fix the labels, and zoom in a bit and... yeah, just work on it some more. Will probably post another draft in a couple hours (rather upload over the original). Thanks again for the feedback, it is really helpful (and I wish I had it when I was doing my D&C diagram last month).-Andrew c [talk] 18:47, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe we should wait a little in case any other Brain editors would like to offer suggestions. Anthony (talk) 19:02, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, that's true. I was only speaking for myself. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:08, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Can I suggest we take the discussion to Talk:Brain and present Andrew with an agreed set of requested changes in a few days? Anthony (talk) 19:18, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, see also herding cats! Fine with me. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:26, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you so much for your efforts, Andrew c and Narayanese. Discussion has now settled at Talk:Brain. Andrew c's last version is nearly there, but would it be possible to remove the red strands at the bottom left, and the little yellow ovals visible in the sheaths (as in Narayanese' version [10])?

    College athletics logos

    Stale
     – DyceBot (talk) 07:03, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Article(s): too many to list, but see here

    Request: Currently, a whole lot of non-free images of college athletics logos are being used in too many articles, when we have possible free equivalents. Fancy graphical logos can be replaced with text-only logos in many cases. Your task is to look at the list here to find current articles that need such image replacements, then search for official sources of text only logos, and upload them to the Commons. Having the logos in SVG format is strongly recommended. More often than not, there is either a Collegiate Licensing Company sheet, or a branding/manual of style PDF for the university, where such text-only logos can be extracted and saved as SVG (keep in mind, official sources is important, as many of the "free vector logo" websites have either unofficial logos, or redrawn logo knock-offs). Look at the crossed out items on the list, and my upload history at the Commons for examples of what I'm looking for (and for example sources where I extracted the files). I'd be glad to make the replacements myself with AWB, I just need help tracking down and uploading the text-only logos.Andrew c [talk] 17:27, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Graphist opinion(s):

    • That is a pretty complex logo. I doubt that we'll be able to locate a vector version from an official source, and there isn't enough detail to redraw it by hand (and such redrawing will introduce errors into the logo). -Andrew c [talk] 01:00, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Earlier version of logo. May both of logo have enough detail to redraw it. Please try.Alokprasad84 (talk) 08:35, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    For official logos and such, we often cannot simply redraw them because we'd be creating cheap knock offs that wouldn't represent the university accurately. Universities and companies often pay thousands and thousands of dollars on marketing and branding, and we need to respect their vision. There is no way anyone could accurately redraw that image in SVG format, and still do the university brand justice. Our only other option is to search through official publications and see if we can't find an already exiting copy of the logo in vector format. But additionally, non-free content is supposed to be at a reduced size and resolution, and a too detailed SVG could break that policy. Why do you want this image in SVG format? Why should we spend our time and resources working on non-free content that can only be used in one or two webpages in a small resolution? -Andrew c [talk] 13:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually I just wanted that this logo should be in svg as other universitie's logos.Alokprasad84 (talk) 13:46, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Just for the record, the reason why a lot of universities logos are in SVG is because they were made available on those universities websites, not because users here redrew the logos (a practice I discourage greatly). That said, it appears there are at least 3 or 4 different version of this "logo" on the university's website, and it is more of a seal than a logo created by a branding/design/marketing firm. Such instances (seals, coat of arms and such), I feel it is less important to source the content from only official sources, and I probably wouldn't outright oppose a hand redrawing of this seal (still, this doesn't change my position than it is better to spend time and energy on creating free content, then working on limited non-free content ;) I've also searched the web for a vector version of the seal already available, which I came up empty (but did see the 3-4 different versions).-Andrew c [talk] 21:09, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Why did you tag this image as PD-self? If you created it yourself, you should have access to the original vector drawing, no? I think you have mistagged this image, and I believe strongly is non-free and should be retagged as such (or you need to send in OTRS permission verification that it is your own content). -Andrew c [talk] 13:22, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello Andrew, Yeah you are correct I didnt tagged image as PD-self, only just uploaded other version. But now I have changed the licensing issue and make compatible as other university logo eg New York University.Alokprasad84 (talk) 13:41, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
