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.

Proposed flags of Utah (2002)[edit]

Article(s): Flag of Utah
Request: Alright, I know this is a tall order, but would it be possible for someone to please create SVG files for the 35 finalist designs of the 2002 Salt Lake Tribune contest which attempted to find a new flag for Utah? They can all be seen if you go on this page here, scroll down to the "2002" section, and then click on the PDF link titled "vol. 35 no. 2 (April-June 2002)", and then scroll down to Page 8. I know there's a lot of them, so even if anyone wanted to have a go at creating only some of them rather than all, it would certainly be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'll do a few. User1042💬✒️ 15:24, 15 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@User1042: Thanks! And no pressure of course. I appreciate any form of help in this request. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 00:56, 17 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Are you still working on any of these? I can do a couple but don’t want to duplicate your work. Edit 8 Jul @ 8pm: I added a few that I did.~ Argenti Aertheri^(Chat?) 06:47, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Argenti Aertheri: Those are great, and thanks very much for your contribution to this request! And since two of the ones you created are "Design 19" and "Design 32", I was wondering if you'd also be willing to create files for the alternate versions of both of them, as described in the NAVA newsletter? I know they're not shown in the gallery displaying the 35 finalists, but if you read the article directly above the gallery, it says that four of the designs (including "19" and "32") were rendered in two versions, with the main versions having the beehive in the centre, and the alternate versions having the beehive in the hoist. Thoughts? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 17:55, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sure, I’ll get those uploaded tonight probably. ETA: Done and added to the gallery!~ Argenti Aertheri^(Chat?) 21:42, 10 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Updates to the symbols of the Vatican City[edit]

Flag of the Vatican City
Coat of arms of the Vatican City
Coat of arms of the Holy See
Seal of the Vatican City

Article(s): Vatican City, Flag of Vatican City, Coats of arms of the Holy See and Vatican City and others
Request: Pope Francis recently promulgated a new Basic Law of the State of the Vatican City, which includes in the annexes a refreshed design for the emblem on the flag, a refreshed design for the coat of arms of the state (and by extension, the Holy See), and the refreshed seal. Could someone update the files on Commons to reflect these changes accordingly? -- HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 01:19, 13 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Emblems of Connacht[edit]

Arms of Connacht from 1651, in which the arm is wearing a clothed sleeve instead of armour, which should be reflected in the modern versions displayed on Wikipedia (and all other versions of the Connacht emblem outside of WP display a clothed version as well).
The versions of the eagle and sword-arm on the Connacht emblem in the bottom-right corner of this particular flag should be used for the rest of these files.

Article(s): Any articles these already appear on.
Request: Alright, I know this may seem like a tall order, but could someone please modify as many as possible of the above files containing the Connacht emblem (except the first two of course) so that the design of both the eagle and the sword-arm match those on the version of the Connacht arms in the second provided file.

Proposed flags of Oregon (2008)[edit]

The beaver on the reverse side of the current Oregonian flag can be used for design "G" in this request.

Article(s): Flag of Oregon
Request: Would it be possible for someone to please create SVG files for the ten finalist designs (listed as "A" to "J") from The Oregonian newspaper's 2008 contest to try and find a new flag for Oregon? They can all be seen on this page here. And of course, even if anyone wanted to try creating only some of them rather than all, it would still be very much appreciated. Thanks.

@Swiãtopôłk: Could you please provide me with the text on the flag, so I can add it? Thanks in advance, --QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 23:46, 2 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@QuickQuokka: These are the same inscriptions as the white ones, upper means "I bear witness that there is no deity but God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.", the lower one simply means "Pashtun". Swiãtopôłk (talk) 08:17, 03 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Piri Reis map

Request

I would appreciate any help cleaning up an image. I've made a comparison image of how the Piri Reis map depicts the Caribbean and how the Behaim globe depicts Asia. It's rough in several ways. It should probably be an SVG file. The Behaim globe is pixelated. The two closeups use different fonts. Any help fixing this up would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, if it helps I have access to a public domain outline of the Piri Reis map that I could upload. This is my first request, so if anything I'm doing is confusing feel free to ask questions. -- Rjjiii (talk) 08:06, 7 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Auguel, I've asked for help at WP:RDL. If that doesn't work out, I can reach out to a Kannada-speaking acquaintance off-wiki. Nyttend (talk) 21:33, 15 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Done based on the transcription from WP:RDL, if your acquaintance points out a mistake I can update it. Auguel (talk) 04:44, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Fashion illustration request[edit]

Request: Lately I've been trying to remove all the photographs from Upskirt, because I think it's highly creepy to use images of living people in this context. Could someone please create a drawing of a skort (skirt with shorts attached) for the "safety shorts" section, to replace the photo that's currently there? A simple schematic or line drawing would be fine. Here are some non-free example drawings: [1][2][3]. gnu 57 23:09, 11 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
