Oman

Resolved

• 
  PNG map of Oman, and its location relative to the rest of the world.
• 
  JPG detailed map of Oman, showing its exlaves
• 
  SVG with enclaves

Article(s): Oman

Request: The first map doesn't show Oman's two exclaves (areas of Oman within the United Arab Emirates. Could the map (a) be modified to show these areas, and (b) be converted to an SVG? The second map can be used to determine the location of the exclaves. For bonus points, the second map is a JPEG and could really do with being converted to an SVG - but now I'm just pushing my luck ;-) I don't know if it's relevant, but the first map comes from Commons - commons:File:LocationOman.png- if I need to make the request there let me know (I've watchlisted this page, or you can ping me on my talk page. Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 14:36, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: There's an SVG version of the location map, it will need to be shown I'd guess at least at 700-800px for both the enclaves to be visible.--Goldsztajn (talk) 01:56, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Awesome! I think that so long as a user clicking on the map (and seeing an enlarged version) can see the exclaves then that should be fine. Thanks for your work on this, it's appreciated. Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 14:37, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

I've made the nominal size larger (from 600px to 1000px), this way one click to the image will reveal the external territories (rather than having to click and zoom).--Goldsztajn (talk) 01:14, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

University of Oslo seal

• 
  Seal of the University of Oslo (1842)

Article(s): University of Oslo

Request: File:Seal_of_the_University_of_Oslo.jpg is from 1842 and in the public domain, but in very low quality. If someone could redraw it in better quality, without background, it would be great - a free version of the university seal, that can be uploaded to Commons and used on other projects which do not allow fair use, would be greatly appreciated. The seal shows Apollo with the Lyre, and the text is "UNIVERSITAS REGIA FREDERICIANA". Also see the modern (non-free, fair use) version here (but the new image should be based on the free 1842 version). JY890 (talk) 00:11, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: Quality is too low. Any higher quality links/scans possible? Jaakobou^{Chalk Talk} 00:52, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

A better quality version of the free 1842 version isn't available, but check out this drawing of the seal, used in a 1926 Festschrift, which is almost the same. A redrawed version doesn't have to be 100 % identical to the 1842 version, the important thing is the motive (Apollo with the Lyre), and the text UNIVERSITAS REGIA FREDERICIANA. JY890 (talk) 21:38, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Would have it finished, if text on paths was supported for SVG. Can't be bothered to position every letter separately. Would a png do? OrangeDog (talk • edits) 21:34, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Article(s): Urdu

Request: Could we make the Urdu script scale properly? SVG would be great, of course... but, a PNG where the Urdu script can scale to the proper size would be great. gren グレン 00:37, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):  Request taken by Goldsztajn. Hi, a little complicated this request, but I've had a try and came up with the "be" character (although the Devanagari part is not quite correct yet). Nevertheless it's doable for me, I'll just be a little slow. Without the Devanagari phonetics it would be easier... :) Regards --Goldsztajn (talk) 10:08, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Looks very good to me... and I see nothing wrong with the Devanagari (the loop closes in the PNG but not the SVG... but, that seems a matter of font and not of correctness). Thank you for working on this. I think it will be useful to have an SVG... unless you think it's better just to put this on the page in a table not using an image. But, Images are nice because you can print them out more easily. gren グレン 10:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

It was ok, but not perfect as the accent on the Devanagari character was not displaying in the proper place, but with this second test file I seem to have solved that and now have all the Urdu/Hindi characters and accents displaying properly...just need to get English correct! --Goldsztajn (talk) 00:50, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

First line completed, with diacritics and correct English.--Goldsztajn (talk) 09:30, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Second line completed, but a few problems with Hindi phonetics line...slowly, but surely... --Goldsztajn (talk) 04:25, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

It's looking good. Obviously a lot crisper than it was. The thing and I may be able to figure this out by changing the font is to make it a more Nastaʿlīq looking script where it goes from upper right to lower left rather than the more typically Arabic naksh. But that's a matter of style. But, the Devanagari was definitely the most difficult part for me so thank you very much for that part. gren グレン 15:11, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Personally, I'm not such a fan of the Persian caligraphic font styles to illustrate letters because IMHO it makes it much harder for those not familiar with Arabic script to view. To me it is a bit like illustrating the English alphabet to non-Latin familiar viewers using a Gothic script, rather than a basic sans serif script. Anyway, I've tried it with a slightly different less Nakshish font, which gives a bit more sense of the caligraphic....Let me know what you think.--Goldsztajn (talk) 07:00, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: It takes a lot of time to trace all national borders by hand. But I have done it with all EU member states in this map (you can redefine the crop in Inkscape). If you want a template blank map where this has been already done for all countries, chech out File:Location European nation states.svg (though that map isn't as big geographically). Do you want a specific map or just a perfect blank map? - SSJ ☎ 15:56, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

A perfect blank map would be perfect ;-) Your Europe and world maps are great, but a "perfect" one for Europe and North Africa is missing. --Kolja21 (talk) 16:42, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Started to work my way through Inkcape and it seems not to be needed to trace all national borders (in map 1) again. Isn't there a way to rearrang groups / objects? Since the map is needed primarily to show foreign relations of the EU the main block is o.k. --Kolja21 (talk) 14:24, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Make the background trasparent

• 
  Mask for composite icons
• 
  Alternate (non-mask) ball

Article(s): Huge number of link

Request: Could someone please make this file transparent, File:Soccerball mask.svg ? As for the soccerball, I want the background to be transparent because it take up spaces. If it can't be transparent, maybe any of you can help me to cut a bit the white background so that it fits the soccerball size. The file is from commons, and if any of you know any help pages that you think you can forward this question to, fell free to do it. Arteyu ? _{Blame it on me !} 10:21, 15 May 2009 (UTC) I think you doesn't have to make it trasparent, better to cut a bit the white background so that it fits the soccerball size, do not make it transparent. Thanks Arteyu ? _{Blame it on me !} 22:21, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: While I can't help with this request myself, I should point out that this template is used in {{Soccer icon}} which is in turn used in a multitude of stub templates. The background cannot be transparent because the ball is, and trimming too much of the whitespace may have an adverse effect. However, I do agree that the template is less than perfect; while it may prevent the need to have individual icons for each and every country, the end result is rather more cumbersome than an individual icon would be. PC78 (talk) 14:33, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

It's okay if it cannot be done. But the image just take up so much spaces. I hope that some of you can figure out how a new file can be made without taking up spaces (that can replace this one that is being used on stubs. Thanks anyway (: Arteyu ? _{Blame it on me !} 17:01, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

There's a soccer ball already avaliable with a transparent background, no shading on the ball. It looks like it was shaded previously, then reverted. gringer (talk) 02:49, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

The original map in JPEG is wrong

• 
  Penang state map

Article(s): Penang

Request: Hi! It's me again. I just want to point out that the location name for the file above is wrong. Firstly, the island part of the state is not called "Pulau Penang" as in the map. The actual name of island part is "Pulau Pinang" (in Malay) or "Penang Island" (in English). The peninsular part of the state is known as "Seberang Perai", not "Penang" as stated in the map. The state as a whole is known as "Penang" in English. Another mistake that I've seen in the map is with the name of the capital of Penang. It should be "Georgetown", doesn't have any spaces between the "George" and the "Town" word.

My request is to create two map similar to that in PNG or SVG with no road lines (the lines in white and gray).

First map in detail: To create a new Penang map with no location names (no font at all & no road lines). If can don't make it black and white. Make it in colour. Also, I don't want the compass (the North locator or whatever you call it to be in the map).

Second map in detail: To create a new Penang map with location names (only state the Penang Island part, the Seberang Perai part and the George Town capital). Also, if can don't make it black and white. Make it in colour.

And if possible can you also make a map showing only the Penang island? I want to put it on this article — Penang Island.

That's all, thanks (: Arteyu ? _{Blame it on me !} 19:43, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Request: The SVG file that I've uploaded had couple of minor mistakes that you can only see when you zoom it. Can any of you correct the mistakes ? And can any of you put the 18 85 word on the first file so that it would look like the new Luton Town logo. Thanks

Graphist opinion:  Request taken by raeky.: Point out exactly what mistakes you want fixed in finer detail and I'll see what I can do. I'll add the date later this evening. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 20:45, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

On the B alphabet (Football word), there is a very little portion of the purple colour, would you mind to erase it? There is also two other portion of the purple colour on the body of the logo. Those are very minor and could only be seen when you zoom at it (It looks like the one on the B alphabet).

I would also want you to fix the W alphabet (TO"W"N), the part where it looks like an X and the upper part of it intersects (the transparent part inside the upper X) it does not look sharp enough. Thats all. Thanks (: Arteyu ? _{Blame it on me !} 05:41, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Chinese character SVG

Article(s): Chinese classifier

Request: In the past, User:Ch1902 here was able to make File:Chinese character Cheng.svg, an svg image of a Chinese character, based on the MingLiU font. I'm wondering if he or anyone else here can do the same these two characters [1][2], using the "Unicode standard" glyph. Putting them next to each other in the same image, or making two separate images, are both fine—they're the same word, just one is a simplified character and one is a traditional character. If it helps, the discussion at the last time an image like this was made is at Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Image workshop/Archive/Apr 2009#Chinese character, if you want to see how they did it then. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 15:26, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: There you go. Done as two separate images with not much white space either side so they can be placed next to each other manually. — ₪₪ ch1902 ₪₪ 19:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Both look great. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 19:56, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Actually, as it turns out, the use of a "+" character in the name seems to prevent the images from working correctly in the {{double image}} template. Since you uploaded them on commons, do you think you could rename them (or just upload them under new names and delete the current ones)? rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 20:08, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

I just tagged them with a {rename} request, so hopefully a commons admin will take care of it. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 20:10, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what problem you're having? I tried it and they seem to work OK. If there is a problem I suggest getting someone to fix the template rather than rename the files because the file names conform to other unicode character images. — ₪₪ ch1902 ₪₪ 10:51, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

  Description of image

  First draft

Article(s): Cold War (1947–1953)

Request: The map needs some colour changes to be introduced into the Cold War (1947–1953) article. Concretely, (i) Albania's colour should be the same as that of the other Eastern bloc countries; (ii) the NATO countries should be coloured with different tints of blue to reflect the steps of the alliance's formation. Five countries that signed the Treaty of Brussels (the core of future NATO): Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France and the United Kingdom should have the most deep colour; other NATO founders, United States, Canada, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Denmark and Iceland, should be a little bit brighter; then Grece and Turkey should follow; FRG, that joined NATO only in 1955 should be light blue. The colour of neutral countries should be left unchanged. (iii) The legend should be modified accordingly (without giving too much details).
Thank you in advance.

The Graphic Lab never vectorises copyrighted works as a matter of policy, thought not all logos are copyrighted, and some are of a simplicity and lack of originality that they cannot be copyrighted (such as the logo of House, House logo.svg), so you may have seen vectorised logos around Wikipedia. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 20:16, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I disagree. The hi-res version doesn't appear in the article and the smallness of the dust makes removing it tedious and unneeded. --Blacklemon67 (talk) 22:51, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

It's restoration was suggested during a featured picture nomination, so the "tedious" work is in fact needed. The picture's subject and quality deserves it. It's a poor argument to say it's not worth restoring a historic photograph like this because it's only seen in a small version in the article. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 00:44, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

This restoration is not for the article; it's for an FPC nomination. As it stands, this will not get thru FPC successfully. wadester16 | Talk→ 04:25, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): Do they have to be in that font?--Sushiflinger (Goldblattster) (talk!) 14:02, 26 May 2009 (UTC) Erm? do we really need letters as images? who not just ordinary text? _→AzaToth 17:25, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

That's what I thought when I first saw this. --Blacklemon67 (talk) 22:42, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Please try to take a look at Portal:Wine, the file (W,I,N,E) and then only you will understand. The current file is in PNG, I need a scalable image (SVG) so that it would look nicer. Please also take a look at the portal discussion page so that you can have a better idea of why i need it in SVG. Arteyu ? _{Blame it on me !} 07:30, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, you didn't answer my question. --Sushiflinger (Goldblattster) (talk!) 00:56, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes Arteyu ? _{Blame it on me !} 05:14, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't think that I need the image anymore. But you can still convert it if want to. Azatoth already changed them into font (: Arteyu ? _{Blame it on me !} 05:16, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Ok. Well I can't, anyway, since I don't have that font in my collection. --Sushiflinger (Goldblattster) (talk!) 14:06, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Signiature of Edward VIII

• 

Article(s): Emperor of India, King-Emperor, Royal sign-manual, Edward VIII of the United Kingdom.

Request: SVG please.--SelfQ (talk) 19:47, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

I vectored it from this source, doesn't have the VIII thingie at the end though, if you find a larger version of the signature you linked to I could try from that, but the quality wasn't high enough to vector the one you gave as an example. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 00:58, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

FWIW, that isn't "VIII" at the end, it's "RI", as in Rex Imperator. King Edward VIII was King of England and Emperor of India. Likewise, Elizabeth II signs her name "Elizabeth R" (No "I" because she's not Empress of India). See Royal sign-manual, etc. The better signature you found was of Edward, Duke of Windsor, long after he'd abdicated. To the extent that it's used in most of those articles, the "Edward RI" version is important. I suppose that means continuing to seek a better copy.   Will Beback  talk  23:41, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Unfortionately, that or someone with the ability to actually forge it close enough to be scanned and digitized. Although I didn't dig too deeply into finding another version, just a quick google image search. If someone finds a better source to bitmap trace, that would be good. Such low quality images though either you have to basically redraw it from hand to be similar or settle for very poor quality. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 05:27, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Request: Make the oval edge looks better. Arteyu ? _{Blame it on me !} 10:08, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

It's probably sufficient as it is for being a gif. Gif's are by nature low resolution and the way transparencies work with a gif you need hard edges not soft edges, so you can't have blended soft edges on a transparency with a gif. If for example the original image was around before it was cropped with an oval in gif format someone could make a PNG version with a much softer transparency... but for a gif I think it's probably as good as it gets. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 00:45, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Zoofari: I used Andalus font. --Sushiflinger (Goldblattster) (talk!) 15:35, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I will see if I can do the others. ZooFari 15:38, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

BTW, Sushiflinger, I made a fix to your SVG if you don't mind. Please combine squares of the same color in the future, as they reduce the file size and prevent those white crappy lines in thumbs. Thanks, ZooFari 15:51, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Just a couple notes: The East Colonnade is not labeled and "Colonnade" is spelled wrong in "West Colonade" [sic]. Also you're missing an "e" in "Jacqueline". Additionally, it looks like the font for "Executive Residence" is smaller than the others. Maybe it's just an eye trick, but if it is different, can you make it the same as the rest?wadester16 17:33, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Right now it looks kind of jank, but I really need to go right now. Feel free to revert it for now, (or another graphist to fix it) but I will fix it later. ZooFari 18:27, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

You still spelled "colonnade" wrong: two N's and one L. 66.194.177.114 (talk) 17:00, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I left it unmodified.  Fixed Everything should be fine now. As to Wadester's concern about the size, I didn't see any flaws but I resized them all just in case. So how is that? ZooFari 22:49, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Perfect! wadester16 04:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I finished the second one. To prevent me from overwhelming (because I had to start all over like 2 times because of my stupid Inkscape), I will leave the others to other graphists. If no one takes action, then I guess I will do them myself. Wadester, how is that? ZooFari 03:44, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Looks GREAT! Not to complain (:-)), but don't you now have a template to work from to do the others? wadester16 04:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
