Request: If you look at the images, you'll see that Main Street-Science World has a transfer station on it. The station is a ordinary station, and is not a transfer station, so should be changed to a ordinary station. -- signed bySRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24(spell my name backwards) at 05:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC)reply

What do ordinary stations and transfer stations look like? Is the first map correct in appearance for all the skytrain stations?

Graphist opinion: A simple web search found
this. You could save that image, make it smaller, then upload it over the one you have issues with. I'd be glad to do it for you if you don't have software to resize the image. If we have another better quality image from an official source, and the image is non-free, I'm not sure we even need an SVG since this new image I found does not suffer from the artifacts. We could also make it black and white if you prefer, but the color doesn't seem problematic to me either. What do you think about that?-

Aligning the equations' elements together (aka, p, F, F should be aligned together on the left, the equal signs should be aligned together, and on the right, m, dotted P and F aligned together) would improve the image IMO.

Template:Annotated image can be used to crop and zoom, as shown - look at the original to see how powerful this. The downside in this extreme case is that a huge image is downloaded. However I often use it to trim excess bg from images, to avoid layout problems (whihc are becoming more difficult with the spread of widescreens). --

To be more correct, the W in the logo should be in the
Garamond font instead of Times New Roman. The difference is that Garamond's W looks like two V's overlapping, while TNR has the W looking like the above SVG version (look at Wikipedia's logo, the W looks like two overlapping V's. Same with your red background logo). Let me know if you want the Garamond W, as I've got Garamond. [|

Well,
Iran is 1,648,195 km2 large, and
Mexico which has a land area of 1,972,550 km2, have a map like that. Its just some larger. :-) Its also made one for the
UK though not in use anymore. And I know its called globe view, but does it need to bee zoomed out that much? Just look at
Mongolia (1,564,116 km2) that map is showing the whole world... Its the better looking design that is importat to improve the article. Sorry for my bad english :-)

I changed colors in the Mongolia map. Is that ok? There is/was also
File:LocationIran.svg. A map in orthographic projection (globe view) — which is not just a zoomed-in version — with Iran in the center would require creating a completely new map and possibly vectorize it (to make it svg). I don't really feel the need for such map. Maybe some other graphist would go for it.

Connormah (

And I'll put my opinion again. This map does not offer enough detail to do a proper vectorization. Yes, the colors can be changed... but this map has such little detail that a vector will be just as completely inaccurate. You might want to try finding more precise information and sources of any sort to substantiate these boundaries and help create a better map.
grenグレン 01:12, 6 February 2009 (UTC)reply
Graphist opinion:
I've had a look at this one, and due to the extremely small size, and the very inaccurate and unorthodox projection of the map, it will be impossible to transfer the data with any sensible degree of accuracy to SVG. With better data, an SVG can be made, especially if the projection is similar to an existing map of North America such as
this one, or similar.

It is always best to leave the logos at the current file, since they are non-free logos. Yet possible, graphists including me wouldn't risk the trace and therefore logos shouldn't even be attempted to be requested here in the graphics lab. ZooFari 00:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)reply

Map of Alaska highlighting Skagway-Yakutat-Angoon Census Area.svg
Skagway recently became a separate borough (it's like a county; see
List of boroughs and census areas in Alaska if you're curious), so it's not part of the Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon Census Area anymore; consequently, it's been renamed Hoonah-Angoon. This map will be useful to show the census area before Skagway was split away, but could separate maps be created showing just Skagway and just Hoonah-Angoon? Skagway is the farthest north of the various little bits of red. And while you're at it, could you create another one? Until the 1990s,
Yakutat (see map
here) was also part of the census area (then "Skagway-Yakutat-Angoon Census Area"), so it would be helpful if you could create a map that highlights Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon and Yakutat. I'd do it myself, but I don't have a program that can edit .svg files.

Thank you very much. I agree with you that using colors like the other diagram did wouldn't have been good and they could look better but I have no idea how to design them. Only thing is if you could maybe double or triple their default size... mainly because the |thumb| parameter won't set to the user's default size because they're too small and it doesn't scale up. It would also make the default PNG preview more meaningful.

If it's any help, the discussion that led to the creation of the original image is
here; the old film reel image appears to have gone AWOL, while the star itself appears to be a modified version of the original barnstar. Ultimately I'd like to keep it close the the current version, so same silver colour, keep a shadow underneath the star etc. I'll have to leave the star to your graphist discretion. :) If it's not too much trouble to do a bit of photoshopping (or whatever) then great, if you know of a better star image we can use then that's fine too.

It may be easier (and probably reccomended) to transplant the green and red ribbon colors into the latter image, instead of transplanting the frame and palm over. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 06:10, 30 January 2009 (UTC)reply
Graphist opinion: Just a note that the palm with the preferable appearance is a bitmap embedded into an SVG and not preferable.

I did the best I could. I assume the central device is a lamp, don't know about colors. The foot device look like a scaled down copy of the crescent-star. If you know what colours go where, tell me and I'll change them.

You did splendidly, what a great eye for detail! Actually, it's a dagger, but you nailed it, see above! The scaled down crescent-stars (I almost missed those) are actually on the flag cloth themselves, like very long banners draped from buildings. Not part of whatever those are at the bottom. :)

Request: SVGify and upload as "File:Tokyo 2016 Summer Olympics bid logo.svg" -- Felipe C.S( talk ) 02:46, 5 February 2009 (UTC)reply
Graphist opinion: I have e-mailed the website, requesting a ID and password for the media section of the site. I also asked, if they couldn't just e-mail me a vector version of the logo. I stated who I was, that the image was for wikipedia, that the other cities had SVG logos available, etc. I'll keep you updated if I get a reply. For non-free logos like this, it is usually easier (and better, IMO) to go straight to the source for these types of images, as it is hard to recreate 100% raster images in SVG format, and the amount of time put into these conversions has minimal pay off when non-free images can only be used on very few articles. Anyway, I'll keep you posted of my progress.-

As it's split between two US states, the US gov't website where I found these has a picture of each part, but not a single picture of the whole site. Since neither picture is more representative of the other, I'd like to have these two pictures merged (made into one image, montaged, whatever you want to call it) so that we can show both pictures in the infobox equally. Border will need to be removed first. Oh, also: could we have the South Dakota portion up top, since South Dakota is farther north?

Sorry, I would never intentionally drive you away, please don't think that. My concern, I think, is that when we have a clearly better image now available, the retention of one not as good seems cluttery. That's why the image pages have that capability. Withdrawing overwrite request.

No big deal. I mean, I totally see your point, and it makes sense. However, I'm not always a good judge of what is necessarily a better image. I mean, part of me honestly thinks that either the original uploader, or maybe someone else, could find some use in the original image, even if it is taken at an angle. I mean, I just over think things. I will consider overwriting images more in the future, for sure, but I still am reluctant to do it for drastic changes.-

It is probably much easier for someone to use the already vectorized B&W logo and simply add color to it, than it would be for someone to redraw the seal from scratch. And for requests dealing with non-free content a) it is almost always best to get the content from official sources and b) because the resulting image will not be free and will be very limited on how it can be used on wikipedia, the amount of effort put into non-free requests is often minimal. -

How is this any different from

You do not state the purpose for these images, nor what article they will go in. You are also requesting SVG work on a non-free image. Since non-free images have very limited use, and the amount of work required into recreating such an image in SVG format is high, they pay off is generally not worth it, so I'm not sure there would be anyone willing to do this request, especially given there is no stated purpose or article for such a conversion. Why do you want these images? And what is wrong with the current images (and how would SVG fix your perceived issue?)-

Okay, I've cleaned up the G after having another look at the signature. The SVG was generated via a mixture of hand and automatic tracing — because I don't sign as Morgan Tsvangirai all the time, I'm not quite sure about how he signs his name and so had a different idea about how the G was done.
