A plot of the type of data used by Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer to support their conjecture.
Article(s): abc conjecture
Request:
- I thought it would be nice to illustrate the numerical evidence for abc as we do for Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer (see above). Since abc predicts there are only a finite number of abc triplets with q > 1, my suggestion is to use the computational results (see [1]) and plot the ratio of q > 1 triplets within a particular range of c (i.e., 6⁄100, 31⁄1000, 120⁄10000, ... 14,482,065⁄1018), which should be a curve that approaches zero. Maybe one could also include the other triplets (q > 1.05, q > 1.1, ...). -- bender235 ( talk) 13:29, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
- I'm not sure this is helpful. The conjecture is that a set is finite; it's very difficult to distinguish this on a plot from a set that is very sparse, especially if you are also plotting a lot of points that are not in the set. In contrast, for the BSD example you give (1) the plot concerns the growth rate of a function (the number of solutions mod each prime), something that this sort of plot is better for, and (2) plots like this one played a documented role in the formulation of the conjecture. But it's hard to judge without seeing a picture. — David Eppstein ( talk) 15:51, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Can anyone finalize vectorization of this file? Source is here, I used Vector Magic. Hosmich ( talk) 16:57, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Article(s): en:Symmetry
Request:
- This is about the basic illustrations of mirror symmetry and rotoreflection.
- Skills needed to improve the illustration: good understanding of basic geometry and symmetry (I have this for mirror symmetry; not so good for rotoreflection); good tools for basic vector drawing, knowing how to get that to show up properly, etc. (I don't have this).
- It seems to me that this illustration would be more useful to readers if the basic triangles, which are described as "isoceles", weren't also equilateral. The triangles look pretty equilateral to me! An isoceles triangle, in general, has 1 line (axis) of symmetry. But an equilateral triangle has 3 lines of symmetry, although the drawing only indicates 1. -- Oaklandguy ( talk) 19:03, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
- Personally I don't know how these figures could be misleading. The symmetry axes in question are marked, so it should be quite clear in context. Additionally if we change those two figures we'd need to change all other figures in en:Symmetry, too, since it's a set of pictures with a uniform style. Changing only some of them will introduce an (in my opinion) unacceptable style break. -- Patrick87 ( talk) 00:28, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Request: I have recreated the railway crossbuck used in South Korea, however it is missing the Korean-language characters included in the sign, as seen in this photo. Please add them for me. The photo can be enlarged big enough to clearly make out the characters, and they're basically shapes, so it shouldn't be too hard for someone that knows what they're doing with SVGs. Thank you.

- Recently, the Ascension Island territory has adopted a new coat of arms and started flying a new flag based on those arms. Attempts to add this image to Commons have usually resulted in copyright violations because they simply take the image supplied by the Ascension Island government at http://www.ascension-island.gov.ac/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Ascension-Island-Flag.jpg. We have non-free images on this wiki, but they are also derived from the copyrighted source.

- See Module:Chart#Drawing Bar charts: "bar chart" and an example of one being developed at User:Begoon/sandbox/casualties (see the linked templates for how it's done.)
- You can't get all the pretty graphical effects you can in an svg, but it's quite flexible, has nice tooltips etc, quite good enough for uses like this, and has the advantage of being "dynamic" rather than "static", in that once the templates are created it's easy to update data without needing to generate a new graphic each time, or needing access to svg source code, etc...

In my opinion the current unofficial logo of the men's rights movement is the logo of the Men's Right's Subreddit [2] (exists since 2008 has over 70 000 suscribers). A google search for the "men's right movement logo" shows only one another logo used on a tumblr blog and seems like a joke. I have recived permission from that subbreddit administrator to use that logo, he does not know, who is the author. The logo has no known "owner" and it is so simple that it is questionable if it can be copyrighted. Mieciu K ( talk) 19:48, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Seems to be a modification or parody of such feminism/equality symbols as Image:Parekidetasuna.svg and Image:Igualtat de sexes.svg. I could easily make an SVG version of the PNG image (minus the shading effect) by modifying one of these files, if that's what you really want, but the symbolism seems semi-questionable to me... AnonMoos ( talk) 21:15, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- Cool, I had no idea that the symbols you mentioned existed. The MRM symbol seems pretty egalitarian to me, I don't see anything questionable about it. IMHO the first thing I think about when I look at a female and male symbols merged is transexualism and not equality between the sexes but that's just my opinion. Mieciu K ( talk) 21:47, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, if that's what you want, then that's what you got. The circle with both cross below and arrow to the upper right can mean "androgynous" in some technical contexts, but in popular usage it most commonly vaguely refers to the sexes in general (see use on template Template:Sexual orientation etc.)...

Graphist opinion(s):
Once it's loaded fully it seems pretty smooth - so I think the size is all of the reason you see "jerkiness" rather than part of the reason. Reducing the number of frames or increasing compression would both reduce the size, but also reduce the detail, and I'm loathe to do that to a featured pic. It only takes a couple of seconds to load and "settle down" for me. I put a version at File:Cshaft 18 frame.gif that's half as many frames - see how that is for you. Begoon talk 07:46, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

ResolvedCan someone create svgs at File:114 Fl zh-hans.svg and File:116 Lv zh-hans.svg of the new Chinese characters for flerovium and livermorium? See {{ Periodic table (simplified Chinese)}}, but they should look as one character (see the other svgs). Double sharp ( talk) 15:02, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
- Currently there is "钅夫" and "钅立". Those are the characters you want, right? Would "钅夫" and "钅立" look the way you want them?
- I don't know anything about Chinese, so I don't know what it is supposed to look and can only provide you with technical support. But if the new characters are nothing more than two existing characters without any space between them, this can easily be solved with CSS as I just did above. Creating SVGs (which look ugly when rendered so small in my opinion) wouldn't be necessary then. --

- This is over-elaborate, and might not even be what you want, but it's supposed to work in IE9, FF, Chrome, Opera, Safari - see link. The font weight gets affected by the transform, and it's quite possibly no use at all - I don't know how it's supposed to look "squashed up", but (using your <font size=3> from the template, and making the width 0.6 for the transform, but you could try 0.5 etc...) - just for fun:-

- @ Begoon: Did you now services like [3], [4] or [5]? They allow you to identify a font by uploading a small text sample in a raster format. You can then exactly rebuild text in logos like this one without the need for automatic tracing, resulting in much better quality and smaller file size. In this logo it's for example a variant of "Frutiger Bold" (a font bundled with Adobe products if I'm not mistaken, but easily found on the web). -- Patrick87 ( talk) 20:04, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
