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.

Vectorize and translate Graham hierarchy diagram

Vectorize and tanslate

Article(s): Paul Graham (programmer), WP:Edit warring
Request: This French is quite basic, you can likely translate without translator… The media will help create awareness for fairer discussion. -- Yug (talk) 12:33, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion: — Bonjour @Yug: Are you aware of the diagram File:Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement-fr.svg? It is in Category:Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement. The circular chart takes up more space.; — Also, Wikipedia/Wikimedia has an ongoing problem rendering fonts accurately in SVG, especially as thumbnails (see File:20200522 SVG font rendering at different thumbnail sizes.gif. So, to convert the circular chart to SVG would require fonts to be changed to "paths" (shapes) which would increase file size. (One purpose of SVG is to have small file size.); — Do you still consider it important to pursue a circular chart? —RCraig09 (talk) 17:11, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Coat of arms of British Honduras/Belize (1967-1981)

Current arms of Belize

Article(s): Coat of arms of Belize
Request: Could someone please create an SVG file of the coat of arms used by British Honduras/Belize from 1967 to 1981, as seen here. It would be similar enough to the current version of the Belizean arms (above), only with a few differences such as:

1) There is no surrounding wreath.

2) There is no green ground beneath the arms.

3) The scroll containing the motto is white instead of yellow.

4) The tree at the back looks different.

Great Gold Robbery

Request

I'd like a map to clearly show the route of the South Eastern Railway. In the map above it is the route that begins at London Bridge station, then goes south to Reigate, before turning left and heading for the coast at Folkstone. Many thanks. -- SchroCat (talk) 14:22, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

@SchroCat: could you be persuaded to use a more modern map of the region, such as this? I'd say it's cleaner, especially with the placenames, which on those old maps are a little—flowery? ——Serial^# 10:20, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That would be great - anything that clearly shows the route would be good. - SchroCat (talk) 10:33, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SchroCat, right, and what about calling points? (Or was the train non-stop—but even then should main locations be along the route, and rest of the map?) ——Serial^# 10:50, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@SchroCat: See here. What you were thinking of? ——Serial^# 12:48, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Cheers SN! That's just what I'm after. Many thanks for this! - SchroCat (talk) 14:29, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Flags of Fiji, 1871-1874

National flag
Merchant flag
Royal Standard
Isolated shield and crown
Isolated crown

Article(s)

Any article these are already on.

Request

Could someone please alter the above flags used in Fiji from 1871-1874 so that the shape of the shields (and also the shape and position of the doves and olive branches) matches that from the actual Fijian coat of arms from the time, as seen here. Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 13:33, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

@Snow Lion Fenian:

Done --Mrmw (talk) 16:08, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrmw: Great work on the shield, thanks for that. Though is there any chance of changing the dove to match the shape of the one in the link as well? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 18:41, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Snow Lion Fenian: any template as svg? --Mrmw (talk) 07:21, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrmw: Well, I think the dove on this arms here might come close enough to the dove that is displayed in the link. So I would recommend using that dove on the above flags, as a start anyway. Sorry about that. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:39, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Snow Lion Fenian:

Done --Mrmw (talk) 19:38, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrmw: Thanks for that. Though perhaps the position of the dove could be changed so that it's less diagonal, the way it appears in the link? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 19:56, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Snow Lion Fenian:

Done --Mrmw (talk) 04:46, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrmw: Nicely done there, and thank you. Though while we're here, is there any chance that the shields on the first two flags could altered so that they're the same shade of red as the shield on the Royal Standard (darker)? Just for the sake of harmonisation, if it's not too much trouble? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 13:20, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Snow Lion Fenian:

Done --Mrmw (talk) 15:33, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrmw: Brilliantly done, and thanks again. Though perhaps the crown on the first flag could be altered so that the colours within it matches that of the colours (also a darker shade) of the crown on the last flag as well? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:49, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Snow Lion Fenian:

Done --Mrmw (talk) 17:23, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrmw: Thanks for that, and for all the work you've done on all three flags. Much appreciated. Though while we're still here, I hope you don't mind me asking one or two more favours; Now that the shield and crown on the first flag has been altered, perhaps the isolated version of the shield and crown (above) could be altered to reflect that? And the isolated version of the crown (also above) as well, if it's not too much trouble? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 19:19, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Snow Lion Fenian:

Done --Mrmw (talk) 21:52, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mrmw: That's terrific, and thanks for all your hard work throughout this request. I do appreciate it. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 22:28, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
