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.

Colonial flags of Mauritius, 1869-1906

Flag of Mauritius (1869-1906)
Blank British Governor's flag

Article(s): Flag of Mauritius, Governor of British Mauritius
Request: Would someone please redraw the above 1869-1906 Mauritian flag as SVG (the motto on the scroll beneath the arms is supposed to read "STELLA CLAVISQUE MARIS INDICI" in case it's not clear enough). And, if possible, could an SVG version of the 1869-1906 flag used by the Governor of Mauritius (as seen here), be created as well, which could be done by placing the arms from the other flag within the centre of the blank British Governor's flag provided above. Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 20:03, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Colonial flags of Sierra Leone, 1914-1961

Blank Blue Ensign
Blank Governor's flag

Article(s): Flag of Sierra Leone, List of colonial governors of Sierra Leone
Request: Would someone please create an SVG file of the 1914-1961 flag of Sierra Leone (as seen here) using the blank Blue Ensign provided above, and also an SVG file of the flag used by the Governor of Sierra Leone during the same period (as seen here), using the blank British Governor's flag provided above. A close up of the badge used on both flags can be seen here, if it helps. Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 16:09, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@RainbowSilver2ndBackup: Hi. Are we sure that this coat of arms is under CC-BY-SA 4.0 International? It's a highly unusual license for a coat of arms, which makes it look like the uploader just took the default license suggested by Commons. TilmannR (talk) 15:50, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@RainbowSilver2ndBackup: During which time interval was the old coat of arms in use? I'd like to add that to its file name in order to distinguish it from the new one. TilmannR (talk) 16:06, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@TilmannR: It was from 1995 til 2018 RainbowSilver2ndBackup (talk) 19:27, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Vale Royal Abbey
Request: Hullo all. Is there anyone who can do a thing like File:Layout Of Westminster Abby.svg—from this GL discussion (some time ago)—but for a different abbey? Many thanks! ——SerialNumber54129 18:43, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Serial Number 54129: I can help you but you will have to provide me with a source, can't see anything on your link and the image is not accurate enough to work from, thanks. Please ping me. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:56, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en: That's great news, many thanks! Can I email it you, or do you have another way of sharing images? ——SerialNumber54129 14:11, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Serial Number 54129: You can email me or any other way you have access to. I will also need a link or other way to show the source. Also if it has any license on it, free or not. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:25, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 15:25, 22 March 2019 (UTC).[reply]

@Serial Number 54129: Is this also correct? --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:23, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en: Yes, that's the one, although for my purposes the solid line for all walls will suffice. Do you think the other buildings would be possible too, or is that double the work? ——SerialNumber54129 17:43, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Serial Number 54129: The style of the lines we can decide later on, is it the Great House you mean? --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:54, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You see the buildings to the south on the image you link to above? Them. If you reply to my email, I can attach the complete pic. The WP:EMAIL facility doesn't allow for attachments. In any case, if you want to just stick with the church building itself, it'd still be cool. ——SerialNumber54129 18:13, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Logo needs improvement. -- RainbowSilver2ndBackup (talk) 19:28, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion: Since non-free media is not supposed to be of a high resolution anyways, you might as well upload a scaled-down version of the original JPG. I don't believe that an improved SVG is desirable here. TilmannR (talk) 22:01, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
