A simple equation

Resolved

– 68.39.174.238 (talk) 00:27, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

$14{\sqrt {x}}+|15|=|71|\,\!$

Articels: Equals sign

Request: SVGify this equation, so that it can be displayed as part of a {{double image stack}} alongside the original (hard to read by modern eyes) equation. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 22:30, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppinion: How's this? Debate 木 09:31, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The second looks a little internally strange. EG. Is the "x" in a different fontface? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 00:27, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I freely admit that I'm no expert in mathematical symbology, but that's the way the x is displayed when written as an equation in Word, as well as how it's displayed in the mathematical mark-up you used above (ie

{x}

: <math>14\sqrt{x}+|15|=|71|\,\!</math>), so I presume that the typeface of the x is mathematically significant. Nonetheless, the type-face can be easily changed if required. Debate 木 02:59, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For this it doesn't have to be perfect. I strongly suspect that a featured image could be found of some part of this, but will let others decide... 68.39.174.238 (talk) 23:41, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Variable names such as x are typically rendered in an italic font in order to distinguish them from constants--so the font change is correct. However, the equation still looks strange. To make it more legible, the operators, + and =, should be surrounded with spaces. Rangergordon (talk) 10:33, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Articles: Subprime mortgage crisis and related articels.

Request: For all of them, SVGify if possible, since they are perfect for it (Boxes, colors and text). For the graphs, they should be recreated with (if possible) a standard look, but definitely free of unneeded dimensions (EG. Spurious 3D effects or shading). 68.39.174.238 (talk) 20:49, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Who vectorized these and didn't tell me? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 22:34, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Answer:Checking who uploaded them would be a good start, although the line graph doesn't look that accurate?. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 23:00, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A question for some other people: Do you think having the exact #s at the head of the bars is an improvement or not? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 22:39, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If I can get the data used for these graphs then I can draw them all with gnuplot. -- Borb (talk) 14:30, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Net operating income, securities and other gains/losses

--Demoeconomist (talk) 16:58, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For the SVG of the cause/effect diagram, under "Response", the one box has "Hope New Alliance", which should be "Hope Now". Thanx, 68.39.174.238 (talk) 18:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed! --Slashme (talk) 10:28, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any idea why it gets so ugly at thumbnail size? I don't know that it would affect its use in articels, but I'm curious. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 21:08, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it. Text sometimes does not render very well in SVG images, so having it thumbnail size only makes it worse. I converted all of the text into paths, so it should look good now. --pbroks13^talk? 06:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanx. Can you change "programe" to "program" ? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 23:10, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BBFC U Cert

Article(s): BBFC

Request: There is a lot of noise around the edge of this image. Please could someone remove this noise. Thanks Mangwanani ^(talk) 18:02, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Not sure I see what you mean. /Lokal _Profil 20:01, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Look around the outside edge of the black triangle. There is a lot of white noise in this area. While this may not be wholly visible in the chequered area it is noticeable on a black background. Mangwanani ^(talk) 15:45, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also can't see any noise. Are we missing something? --Slashme (talk) 10:34, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can't see it on the checkered background but copy it into Word or something and give the transparency a black background and there is a white haze around the triangle which can't be missed... There was also the same problem with the 15 Certificate but I put that in the lab and that was fixed. Mangwanani ^(talk) 10:49, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's the best I could get it, but I only have MS Paint to work with. Someone with PS should be able to do this better with less hassle. Hope that helps. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 06:33, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just cleaned up the U one completely. I uploaded it back over the original. I'll do the 12 when I get a moment. Mfield (talk) 06:53, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I knocked out the 12 and uploaded it over the original. --pbroks13^talk? 09:16, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Córdoba, Spain

Request: Can you SVGize the flag. Shouldn't be too difficult since the hardest parts are already done in the coat of arms. gren グレン 01:43, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Done. I'm waiting for a copyright issue with the arms (actually the city logo) to be resolved over at Commons—I'll upload as soon as it's clear. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 02:57, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and sorry I didn't see that there was a copyright issue when I requested this (and I didn't sign my name). gren グレン 10:59, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it appears they have been deleted. Will you upload it... or at least the original with a fair use claim? I did not make a copy. gren グレン 11:00, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd upload it as fair use, but what about Image:Flag of Córdoba, Spain.svg? Fvasconcellos * (t·c) 18:49, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible that the iamge is a free interpretation of the flag/seal. Hard to say without comparing to the original. /Lokal _Profil 02:07, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SVG ification, and upload Commons, please.Lord Leatherface (talk) 16:04, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I'll try it. James1293 (talk) 00:46, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, someone else can do it. I need to work on my speed-svg skills... I think i might be tracing too meticulously. James1293 (talk) 01:04, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tried it more... It's pretty difficult. Does it really need svg? James1293 (talk) 19:27, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): : pt:Portugal

Request: Hello, I would need to have this plan in SVG and another colors if possible, thank you Cancelos (talk) 20:01, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Have you looked in commons:Category:SVG maps of Portugal. /Lokal _Profil 20:15, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't like others Cancelos (talk) 18:32, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What colors would you suggest, can you give us what the words say (diacritics and such), and what don't you like about the existing maps? That way we know not the replicate the problems. Thanks! §hep • ¡Talk to me! 21:47, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's Portugal's beige and SVG. Cancelos (talk) 13:14, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not going to try this one but for whoever is I recommend using Image:Mapa de Portugal.svg as a base. It's a complex map but it's easy to remove say municipal and national borders if only county borders are to be kept. /Lokal _Profil 16:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No because ; Portugal's article is voting for good article. This map is good, it's a jpg (SVG à faire !), Cancelos (talk) 07:55, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry? In which way is the JPG map better then the SVG map? Apart from city names and positions and the (probably disproportionally big) size of Madeira ant the Azores I don't see a difference. /Lokal _Profil 16:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Can we remove that large object above the building in the upper left of the photo? It looks like an arm for a traffic light or something, but it's not really crucial to the image, and is rather distracting. And for the same reason, is it possible to remove the lady from the bottom of the photo? SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:55, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:Hi, I did retouch the image (removed the traffic light and the lady) but it seems the image have no source information and it is uploaded only in en wikipedia. Please complete source information and verify the copyright status of this images, then I can upload the retouched image to the Commons. ■ MMXX^talk 10:40, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. I can remove the object and the lady, only if you add source info. --Jackl 08:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, what you see on the image description page is all I have to go by. I have messaged the user, but have unfortunately received no reply. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:54, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, one note: Canada's Maritime Provinces aren't yellow, while the rest of the country is; I'm assuming that the entire country should be the same colo(u)r. Nyttend (talk) 00:24, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I might try to figure out Inkscape while recreating the map based on commons:Image:BlankMap-World6.svg Tadpole9^{(talk • contribs)} 03:46, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just found GunnMap, might use that instead. Anyone know the source of the data used in the existing image? Tadpole9^{(talk • contribs)} 05:01, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Please correct the national motto held by the bird. It should read "BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA" instead of "INKA".Please check with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhinneka_Tunggal_Ika, which shows the correct spelling. 202.13.5.157 (talk) 10:28, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Probably easiest for Sagredo to do since he might still have a version with the text as text rather then paths. /Lokal _Profil 16:54, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done it, but I've changed the font used. --F l a n k e r (talk) 18:10, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: There is something wrong with the image. The Millennium Line stations, Sapperton and Braid, are switched, so I need it to be switched back to their original positions. Thanks. -- SRE.K.A~~nnoyomous~~.L.24_[c] 20:09, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: done. Mfield (talk) 06:04, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

O ****. It was good. Actually, revert it. I'm so stupid... -- SRE.K.A~~nnoyomous~~.L.24_[c] 06:49, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You sure? Other people think its the other way round too. Mfield (talk) 06:59, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, revert it. I'm sure. [1] -- SRE.K.A~~nnoyomous~~.L.24_[c] 07:19, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think you need to force a reload. The link you just gave me shows Braid above Sapperton, same as the one I gave you and same as what I edited the file to be and then uploaded it over the old.?! Mfield (talk) 07:21, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Hello ! The Korean writing system have special rules of letter combinaisons, display on this this external image. It would be interesting to create an SVG image to showing the similar example. You can get the korean characters on Hangul or on the Korean wikipedia. Yug (talk) 21:39, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Am I right in assuming that the idea is to better illustrate the Jamo placement within a block section? --Wiml (talk) 19:03, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Pi Kappa Phi

Request: Can someone convert this image to SVG. Thanks. — ŁittleÄlien¹⁸² (_talk\^contribs) 20:55, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I made one. The original says that it was made in 1909, so I tagged the new one with {{PD-old}} from the commons, making it no longer fair-use. --pbroks13^talk? 18:37, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't that make the original one PD-US too? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 21:05, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've marked the JPG as such. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 23:30, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that looks great! Thank you so much for making this image. — ŁittleÄlien¹⁸² (_talk\^contribs) 00:12, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The first version of the Coat of Arms was designed in 1909, "The current coat of arms is much different from the original." is what it says on Pi_Kappa_Phi#Coat_of_arms. Thus both the svg and the jpg are fair-use only. /Lokal _Profil 01:46, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The final version (with all of the current modifications) was completed by 1909. The original version, that the passage is referring to, was created soon after the fraternity was founded in 1904. — ŁittleÄlien¹⁸² (_talk\^contribs) 01:55, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The section in the Pi Kappa Phi article is incorrect. If you look at the cited reference, it indicates that the changes that took place "in the early years," happened before 1909. — ŁittleÄlien¹⁸² (_talk\^contribs) 01:58, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Technically it could still be a problem since the way the Coat of Arms was depicted might have changed although it contents have remained the same, ideally a scanned in version from 1909ish should be used to get around this problem. But I won't press on that. /Lokal _Profil 12:47, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Looking at this image, this coat doesn't seemed to have changed much in the last 90 years... any thoughts? --pbroks13^talk? 06:38, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly the design of the lamp might be under a new copyright, but then the image doesn't include the book either so if that was added in say 1911 the lamp might have changed to it's current shape at the same time. Wouldn't worry unless someone writes and complains though. /Lokal _Profil 16:47, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: At the Romeo and Juliet featured article candidature I commented that many of the images needed nice crops, cleaning. I have listed above the ones I thought were most obvious that someone could help with but feel free to look at the article if you think you can help with others. My 'comments' are vague because I am not good at this... but all of the images I paste I think could be cleaned up somewhat to make this a better FAC.

It may be a good idea to upload as different, restored images and then comment on the FAC or change them yourselves rather than overwriting these images. gren グレン 12:45, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I uploaded a new version of the portrait of John Gielgud. The author requested that his work integrity should not be touched. I hope that the black border was not part of the work. What do you think? --pabouk (talk) 11:32, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is excellent. I'm only sorry most users will only see it as a thumbnail: the full version is great. Thank you. AndyJones (talk) 21:20, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: It's probably earier just to click the "create a new section" link if you need a template. I hope the header wasn't supposed to say Romeo and Juliet. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 20:43, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This jpg version doesn't have any sourcing to prove that it meets WP:RS so it couldn't really be used for an FA. I recommend using as our base a map sourced from a reliable place so the SVG will be well sourced as well. gren グレン 12:58, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: This should probably go to Wikipedia:Village pump (technical), I don't remember the software Wikimedia uses, (something Wizard?) but if it worked before and not now it's most likely a software issue. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 17:31, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is image straight?

4 corners marker

Article(s): Quadripoint

Request: I tried to straighten the image from its right-tilted original but I am not convinced that it is entirely straight yet. But it may just be the curve of my monitor distracing me. Can someone with better image software chek it? Rmhermen (talk) 18:05, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: It was off a tad. But it depends what you wanted to look straight, for instance I used the cross as my vert and horiz measures. Out of curiosity what software did you use? If you feel my edit detracts from the image please revert it! §hep • ¡Talk to me! 18:16, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-existing SVG

Article(s): Three-point field goal

Request: This article needs, at the very least, a pictorial representation of the NBA three-point line as described in the "Rule specifications" section (including the "closest point" also described in the section) Furthermore, perhaps a comparison of three-point line distances would be nice. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 09:00, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: To whoever does this I found an SVG that might be helpful at Basketball. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 17:08, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This one maybe too, there are some others here and here. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 17:20, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Translations:

How's that? §hep • ¡Talk to me! 22:44, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CRU = Raw
Grillé = Grilled
Bouilli = Boiled
POURRI = Rotten
Fermenté = Fermented

I think this is better. Jackaranga (talk) 22:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed the translations, I think. Tadpole9^{(talk • contribs)} 01:10, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Can the previously requested scout logo be used straight off once the colours are changed? /Lokal _Profil 00:41, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, sorry, this one is meant to be grey like the {{reqphoto}} template. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 00:46, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think Lokal meant something like the above. Using the SVG that had already been created. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 07:10, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's what I meant. Seems ti have been done though =) /Lokal _Profil 13:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tone down highlights and lift shadows on car, remove pylon reflection on hood, convert image profile from AdobeRGB to sRGB for correct web color display by Mfield

Article(s): Fiat Palio

Request: Can someone please generally improve the image? There is a bit of glare on the hood and the windscreen and the sunshine is a bit too bright. Ganeshrg (talk) 07:10, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Attempted. --Kamangir1214 (talk) 05:18, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not resample the image to a lower resolution (in addition with so bad antialiasing - see the "stairs" on the lower edge of the left window). --pabouk (talk) 16:18, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Kamangir1214 for the effort. I am still looking for a more general improvement on the image though. Would anyone like to take this up? Ganeshrg (talk) 18:13, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Added another edit - Tone down highlights and lift shadows on car, remove pylon reflection on hood, convert image profile from AdobeRGB to sRGB for correct web color display. No resize. Mfield (talk) 18:23, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mfield, the surroundings look a lot better and so does the car hood. I can notice very strong artefacts on the A,B and C pillars and the region just below the windows. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ganeshrg (talk • contribs) 04:46, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what zoom level you are seeing these at but this is a pretty small resolution to be working with in jpeg so it will have some compression artifacts that will be compounded by PP. If you are referring to noise then I am afraid that really you need to take a better picture to begin with, noise is a side effect of lifting detail out of such shadow unless you are using an expensive camera body at a low ISO. I can add noise reduction but it will lose you some detail. It should be easy enough to shoot this on an overcast day. There is only so much that can be done do rescue information when the image has been shot in in bright sunlight with the subject effectively backlit.

Second Modification of Jeff in Thailand.jpg

Article(s): Happiness

Request: Jeff Woloson was a Wikipedian who died in August 2008. His family remembers how much Wikipedia meant to him and stated so in the Memoriam dedicated to Jeff. Image:Jeff in thailand is his mother's favorite photo of Jeff. I tried to improve the photo at Image:Jeff in thailand 2 by cropping it and erasing the guy blowing his nose. However, it needs the hands of someone with more skill and better tools. Please improve "Image:Jeff in thailand" and place any improvement at "Image:Jeff in thailand 2.PNG". Perhaps crop better and erase that guy walking in the background. make the colors more vibrant, the image more clear, etc. Coming from Wikipedia, this improvement to his mother's favorite photo would really mean a lot to Jeff's family. Thanks. -- Suntag ☼ 20:29, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I attempted to clean up some jpg artifacts around the woman behind Jeff and raised the quality a moderate amount, along with removing the man you requested. I added my attempt to the gallery. --Kamangir1214 (talk) 04:22, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

svg'ed, the world map image, please check to make sure I didn't miss anything. -- GateKeeperX (talk) 09:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing missed on the world map, but a few nit picks if that is allowed :) Can ..

cT patch on Australia and Africa be moved to the left a bit;
mE patch that is just east of S. America be moved to the left a bit;
mT patch that is just east of S. America be enlarged a bit?

Also, is it possible to get the edges a little fuzzy to give the impression these regions are approximate? Thanks for all your help, Ben (talk) 10:09, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One big issue, don't use those longitude lines over an equirectangular projection! This requires some redesigning. Tadpole9^{(talk • contribs)} 04:28, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the first image (the black and white), are you having any trouble seeing the white lines against the black backdrop? I can increase the line thickness to contrast more sharply if necessary. -- GateKeeperX (talk) 16:48, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It looks fine in Nassak Diamond. However, I think the thicker lines in the original drawing represented those lines closer to the viewer and the skinner lines are the ones you would see through the diamond (that appear on the hidden side). Can you mimic the different line thickness of the original drawing NassakDiamond1876 (make the forward lines thicker). Thanks. -- Suntag ☼ 20:26, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wings of a dragonfly

Macro shot of wings of a dragonfly .
Another shot with the dragonfly in focus too.

Article(s):

Request: I would like someone to improve these pictures so that I can submit them to the already well endorsed Dragonfly article. I guess the images need a bit of sharpening and slight colour corrections. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Graphist opinion: I apologize in advance if this seems a little harsh but honestly, these images are not going to be improved with sharpening. There is simply not enough detail there to sharpen. You need to retake the images with better lighting, focus (get the wings to lie along the focal plane) and more depth of field. WP has a lot of very good dragonfly images so you are up against some very steep competition and with all the PP in the world, these are not going to come close.
