Staggered tuning
- Request
- I have a file created with the function plotter extension of Inkscape that has a bit of a problem. It displays fine in Inkscape but on attempting to upload it, the upload form crashes. It crashes right after the source file is selected while it is trying to generate the thumbnail and before I have entered the description or clicked the upload button. If I try and display it in my browser, my browswer crashes. If I try to run it through SVG Cleaner, SVG Cleaner crashes. If I try to export it as a bitmap from Inkscape, Inkscape crashes. If anyone thinks they can fix this toxic file, you will have to e-mail me because there doesn't seem to be any way to upload it. I might put a screen-scraped bitmap image in the article as a placeholder so you can see what it is supposed to look like; file name will be File:Synchronous_tuning_plot.jpg.

- Graphist opinion(s)
- The W3 Validator shows the file is a valid SVG. Jarry's SVG Check does not crash, but does not render anything either, and returns a lot of warnings relating to the fonts used in the file:
Line 79: *Warning* You appear to have specified a font that does not exist on Wikimedia wikis. Line 79: *Warning* You should define a fallback font type, which should not be placed in quote marks and should be in lower case. Allowable types are serif, sans-serif, cursive, fantasy and monospace.
- However, what I think causes most programs to crash while loading the file are the huge coordinates used for the three dashed paths: over 1e18 pixels. Since they are outside the viewBox and thus invisible anyway, I suggest just removing those. While the IDs are not necessary, it seems unlikely to me that their presence causes any problems. SiBr4 (talk) 20:39, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- What dashed paths? Are you sure you are looking at the right file? There are three dashed paths in the circuit diagram, but that is not giving me any problems. I can't see anything outside the viewbox in the synchronous tuned plot. Are they still there in the current (uploaded) version? If so, could you remove them for me please as I can't find them. SpinningSpark 23:09, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- In the SVG code in your sandbox, it's the first three path elements, right after the white background rectangle. The uploaded file does not have them. SiBr4 (talk) 10:33, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

- Helpful (I hope) lurker here: I added mediawiki syntax highlighting to the code in your sandbox. It should make it easier to read and copy by highlighting the syntax, wrapping overflow and numbering the lines. Hope it helps some. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 18:26, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Twelve Symbols national emblem

My rendition
- Article(s)
- Twelve Symbols national emblem
- Request
- The image is a start, but there are many details missing or incorrect. The plummage of the phoenix should be much more detailed. The red four letters at the bottom need to have a profiled surface. The moon behind the dragon's head is not really discernible, it should be a proper crescent. The dragon also seems to be missing his right horn. Something is odd with the snout of the dragon and his two whiskers, they should be in extending in front of him, also the beard is incomplete. Please compare to this image File:China Qing Dynasty Flag 1889.svg. The red sign at the top between the heads of the phoenix and the dragon is not properly drawn, it looks as if a circle was placed on top of a square. The phoenix is not grasping the cup properly, it looks superimposed. The weed it is holding in its beak and talons should be more detailed, it's a seaweed or algae. The three stars on top of its head interconnected cannot have the same colour as the crest of the bird. The crest should either be same colour as the phoenix, and also more detailed plummage is necessary. The pupil of the phoenix should be centric and a bit more fierce looking. The golden ribbons at the bottom should be more three-dimensional with shadows. Please see the original images, which illustrate my points [1], [2], [3], [4]. Thank you. -- Gryffindor (talk) 15:07, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Request taken by Sodacan (talk) 01:14, 30 November 2014 (UTC).
- Would like some input from Gryffindor on the new image before I sign off. The colours are based on my own guess work, any further suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. Sodacan (talk) 07:29, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Sodacan, I am impressed. The crescent moon should probably be white or silver, as well as the interconnected three stars above the phoenix's head. The pattern of the plumage on the main body of the phoenix looks a bit rhombic or lozenge, could we have more flowing or detailed feathers, as seen on the coins? The whites of the eyes of the phoenix look yellow, they should be white please. I would think that below the stem of the cups there should be a tiny circular foot, otherwise the vessels would fall over if put down on a table. I thought I saw a foot when you see here on the dragon's side [5]. I don't know how it is showing on your monitor, but maybe colour saturation could be lowered a couple of notches to be similar to the original image, at the moment the colours are too strong. About the red 亞-looking symbol at the bottom, I am under the impression the distances between each other might be just a tad bit too little, but I could be wrong. I like the frame inside the figures, however I think there should be very light lateral stripes or etching marks going from top left to bottom right, see this coin for example [6]. I have also left a message on User:Ericmetro's talk page to help us with the colours of the phoenix, it seems to be rather more complex. Thank you. Gryffindor (talk) 10:27, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- I have uploaded an new version with your suggestions. Firstly I did not look at the previous version at all, I drew everything on top of the coin and traced as much detail as I could into the new image (I don’t like cut and pasting different images; all new elements). Assuming that User:Ericmetro has as much original sources as I did, I decided not to put my trust in him concerning the colours and made my own educated guesses. The phoenix should have more than three colours, most often green, yellow and red. The bright colours reflect the palette that is used in Chinese art, in particular in silk embroidery. Bright primary colours all have meaning in Chinese art and symbology. The rhomboid shapes on the phoenix were my attempt at renditioning feathers (they actually do look rhomboid; i.e. this Chinese Pheasant). The other version I did, which is more similar to the texture on the coin is not as pretty, but I can change it if you insist.
- First changes: Moon/stars to white/silver, Cup now with base, phoenix white eyes, red character moved further apart, darken diagonal lines (I already have them but the colour difference was too weak), de-saturate some reds and yellow parts. Sodacan (talk) 13:00, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- The bird-like animal on the left actually is common pheasant (华虫/雉鸡) instead of phoenix. Unfortunately I didn't find any origional coloured image of the emblem. However the twelve symbols are widely used on early occasions of the Republic of China. One close source for the possible colour is an official invitation of the first presidential inauguration: [9]. Some orders also have this patterns: [10] [11]. It seems the goblets were more likely to be white or silver. The features are also a bit more complex.
- As for the colour of the common pheasant, my previous source of the green color was taken from a movie [12], but this modern rendition is obvious not accurate in many details, as well as this early printed version [13]. I created File:Commander-in-Chief Flag of the Republic of China (Beiyang Government).svg based on the origional invitation of the first presidential inauguration, which was mainly in blue/violet, with purple/pink feather on its back.
- Also some my personal opinion, it seems to me the colours are a bit strong, espeacially the ribbons. I think a bit pale yellow like the previous version could also be an opition. :) --Ericmetro (talk) 14:04, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Ericmetro, thank you for your information. Just to correct that, the bird shown is a fenghuang (鳳凰), which can be literally translated from Chinese as "pheasant", however since it is a mythological bird comes closer to a phoenix in English translation. It is not a common pheasant however. Gryffindor (talk) 14:28, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

- Thanks Ericmetro! I fixed the ribbon so that it lies on top of the axe now. Sodacan (talk) 14:29, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you Sodacan. I didn't know you drew everything basically from scratch. Yes, could we please see the phoenix with the detailed plumage so that we can compare? I just think it would be best to be as closely possible to the coin image. Colours traditionally employed for its feathers contain the five holy colours or the elements: black, white, red, blue and yellow, just like in the Five Races Under One Union national flag. The head is green, the neck white, the back red, the breast black and the talons yellow. Gryffindor (talk) 15:55, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks Ericmetro! I fixed the ribbon so that it lies on top of the axe now. Sodacan (talk) 14:29, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- I just found Dmitri Kessel, a photographer of Life magazine visited Beijing in 1946, and took a series of colored photos of Beijing. In one of his photo contains the throne in the imperial palace. It was still the one Yuan Shikai used during the short lived Chinese Empire, with the twelve symbols national emblem in the center. This throne could provide some information for the colour of the emblem. I also find some other current photo of the throne. [14], [15], [16]. [17] --Ericmetro (talk) 15:58, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- Alright, this is what I would suggest: @Sodacan, could we please just have a black and white image of the emblem? Please change the plumage from rhomboid to more natural to reflect how it appears on the coin. @Ericmetro, the images of the throne are great, I am assuming it is always showing the same object, just in different times and places? Is the latter one now in a museum? Please try to find as many colour images of the emblem and then we'll revisit it here? I would like to avoid Sodacan going through unnecessary work first.

- It seems the 1946 throne photo is the only possible colour image for the emblem by the time being, as I hardly find any colour photos. (@Gryffindor, yes the latter one is the same object in a museum, but the emblem is removed currently for its poor condition).
- However, I have found the 1914 version of official formal dress for commemorating rituals of the Republic of China and some actual photos. The embroidery followed traditional symbol system of Twelve Ornaments with the newly Republican style. I found the colour of the bird-like animal is accordant with the one on 1946 throne photo. These could be a great source for our research: [18], [19], [20], [21], [22]. --Ericmetro (talk) 08:01, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Ericmetro, that's very useful information, we should use it. For the image of the throne, I think it looks like a plastic cover was put on top of the emblem to protect it, I am not quite sure if it was removed. Are you able to find out in which museum the throne is kept now, and maybe if they have an image or photo of it or give us a better description? Thank you. Gryffindor (talk) 14:51, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
- The throne was poorly kept. The current situation of the throne can be seen here: [23]. It seems the emblem was removed at the museum. Here're a few other photos of the throne:[24][25][26]. As there is little information for the emblem, the museum failed to recover the image.--Ericmetro (talk) 11:59, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

- I reverted the star addition as the star is not part of the logo per the source (official) page. Also, the source did not match the non-free image with the star. I hate reverting others' work, but if the requester is trying to create a new (non-free) logo, it definitely needs to have a source/reason and not just a simple request. If the requester will give a valid reason and source explaining the change, this can all of course be reconsidered. The Haz talk 00:59, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
- The reason is that the club has won a particular trophy, and has chosen to the star on their crest to represent it. It was officially unveiled last Saturday 29/12/2014. Thank you. Macktheknifeau (talk) 09:12, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

- And have put it on their facebook page too. Macktheknifeau (talk) 07:37, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the information. Their website (the source in the information template) still uses the logo without the star. If you're going to change the logo to one with the star you need to change the information template to match it (by changing the source). Or, find an article that explains their new version of their logo. It's not simply enough to update the image, especially a fair-use image, without correcting the source of the image or image information. Also, please feel free to change the source if you have one and revert the image yourself. I certainly would have no problem with that and I can't imagine that anyone else would.

- Just checking, have you incorporated all data points between April 2014 and December 2014 into the chart? We should import all of them, but it's quite hard to see whether that's the case on the updated chart itself, and the lines seem to be be a bit too straight after June 2014 or so. By the way, all those data points are available here. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 07:29, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
- Take a better look at the data: data from 07 Jul. 2014 to 02 Nov. 2014 are without KitKat, so I've estimated values for this period by adding % of proportional growth of KitKat and recalculating. --Victor•talk 01:54, 14 December 2014 (UTC).
- For some (strange) reason, the androidpolice.com search linked above lists the data point articles for some months in 2013 instead of the same months in 2014; for example, what's visible there for "02 Nov" is actually the November 2013 article. However, the 2014 articles are there, it just takes some more searching to find them. The right links for the April–December 2014 data points would be as follows:
- April 2014
- May 2014
- June 2014
- July 2014
- August 2014
- September 2014
- There's no data for October 2014, as stated here
- November 2014
- December 2014
- It's weird why the androidpolice.com search lists articles that way; with the links above, we have the 2014 data points, including the KitKat stats. The chart should be corrected, for all Android versions; sorry for missing to provide the right links in the first place, I've also missed that the search provides 2013 data for some of the months. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 03:24, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
- By the way, the reason for such search results actually isn't weird, it's simply because the androidpolice.com article titles diverted from their usual naming scheme during a few months (July–November 2014, as it seems).

- Thank you! About the lack of October 2014 data, should we simply omit that month from the chart? I'd say that not including it at all, with a note in the file's description, would be better than interpolating some numbers. Regarding the illustrations for the Unix-like article, sure thing, that's on my to-do list; it's going to be somewhat time-consuming, so I need to finish a few other things here first. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 05:39, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

- Hmm—just thinking aloud—maybe that on-chart note would be a slight overkill?

A high-level overview of the KVM/QEMU virtualization environment
- Article(s)
- Kernel-based Virtual Machine
- Request
- Please have a look at page 3 in this PDF file – it contains a great high-level illustration of how KVM and QEMU work internally to provide a virtualization environment. This illustration would be a really great addition to the article. Based on the content this illustration depicts, I'd say that we should have no copyright issues.
- Just as a note, there's no need to capitalize all words in labels on this illustration – capitalizing only the first word would be just fine; for example, "Hardware emulation (QEMU)" should be written instead of "Hardware Emulation (QEMU)". Also, "File System & Block" should be written as "Filesystem and block devices"; in addition, "&" should be replaced with "and" in both places.

- Should I use all caps in the LINUX KERNEL, HARDWARE, KVM GUEST, or not, as it was in the previous illustrations? --Victor•talk 21:29, 15 December 2014 (UTC).
- Excellent question, I've missed that! :) I'd leave that decision to you – using all caps in those places is pretty much only putting an emphasis on the names of "boxes", and you can judge much better whether that additional emphasis is required or not. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 22:59, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

- No rush. I will polish the prose and do other prep for GA review. All four skull images in one file may be best. There are pics of the animal in this pdf as well, including one of it eating a dragonfly. Here is one of it eating a slug. The skull in perhaps the easiest to generate..

I have a logo https://cdn.mediacru.sh/0/0vIDMKNNiGRl.svg with a gradient but when I upload it to wikipedia the image is blank. When in inkscape if I select a flat colour in the "Fill and Stroke" menu it shows up, but not with the linear gradient. Can someone make the gradient work. I've put up a version using a flat colour at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:St_marys_school_crest.svg

Two illustrations for the PCI Express article

- Please have a look at pages 3 and 7 in this PDF file – they contain two great high-level illustrations of the PCI Express architecture, which would be a really great addition to the article. Based on the content these illustrations depict, I'd say that we should have no copyright issues.
- Just as a note—as usual—there's no need to capitalize all words in the labels on these illustrations, and capitalizing only the first word would be just fine; for example, "PCIe bridge to PCI/PCI-X" should be written instead of "PCIe Bridge To PCI/PCI-X", or "PCI Express device A" should be written instead of "PCI Express Device A".

A high-level overview of the Linux kernel's I/O stack

- Article(s)

- As noted in the file's description, it should have transparent background, and should be optimized for a reduced SVG file size – if possible, of course. The file was created by extracting a drawing from a PDF file (page 8, the license stated there allows that); those were my baby steps in Inkscape, so the results weren't that great. :)
- At the same time, it would be great to do some cleanups regarding the capitalization of words/labels, if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated! — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 04:35, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

- Just as a note, there's no need to capitalize all words in the labels on this illustration – capitalizing only the first word would be just fine; for example, "Instruction cycle" should be written instead of "Instruction Cycle".
