iPod lineup

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 08:04, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Model (make something like this with the new models)
Or like this, without blurring the screens
iPod Classic
iPod nano (only use the front)
iPod shuffle

Article(s): iPod

Request: Apple announced their new iPod line a week or so ago, and the iPod article is without an image. Unfortunately, we don't have a free iPod Touch 2G pic yet, but in the mean time, I would like a conglomeration (much like the samples above) of the iPods shuffle, nano, and classic (we can add the touch later). I have linked what I think are the best images we have to work with in the gallery, but you can use anything you can find, provided the iPod resembles the ones in the above images (no point in using an old model).

A note about copyright: some users contest that Apple's interface is copyrighted and therefore we must blur the screens. I think this is absurd. It mischaracterizes the iPod, misleads users, and lessens the enc value. The nano is turned off anyway, and the classic (bereft of other iPods) is on the Commons without issue. Make a fair use claim (here, not on Commons), or make the screen look likes it's off (the nano would make a good guide), but don't blur the screen. Ideally, let sleeping dogs lie and worry about making the iPods look nice. Thanks in advance for you patience, understanding, and work.HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 02:13, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Ratanakiri Province

Request: I'd like to have a vector map of Ratanakiri showing the province's physical geography (not administrative divisions, like we have now). The best map I've found is this. There's also this one. If someone could make something based on the first one, that would be great. Please, no administrative divisions. Also, the tourist sites are not needed. What I'd like is a map that shows the rivers, maybe the roads, and the towns. Thanks a million!! Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:58, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: You find a scalable map showing the district Ratanakiri already at commons(the second one above): commons:Image:Ratanakiri.svg

I'll look into making a higher resolution map of this. Jackaranga (talk) 18:16, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added one I made to the gallery above, let me know if you want me to add anything else, like towns, for example. The map you linked to shows some towns that don't seem to really exist (such as Andoung Meas), I have the Cambodia gazetteer, but there are too many little villages in it, so I can't decide which ones to plot. I left the elevation data as png embedded in the svg file, because elevation data is provided in raster format so it didn't make much sense converting to vector.

Graphist opinion: What's wrong with Image:Vancouver SkyTrain Map.svg ? Your map is obviously just plagiarism of the svg one, you don't credit the original one like the license obliges you to, you didn't even bother to modify the description. If you do want to build on the SVG file, credit the author correctly, also it's pointless to convert from svg to jpg to svg. Jackaranga (talk) 11:48, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm surprised you would do this, you look like a reputable editor. Jackaranga (talk) 11:51, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jackaranga, May you please use a neutral point of view against me instead of calling me a "reputable editor". I am trying to help. Also, the original version of the map, the one you pointed out, include the SeaBus, the West Coast Express, and the pointers for the expansions/projects. So I made the one I am requesting for conversion just to remove those. I also don't know how to make an SVG file. All I'm saying is please use a neutral point of view and language. Thank You.

By the way, thanks to J.smith for fixing the licensing/source info. -- SRE.K.A~~nnoyomous~~.L.24_[c] 03:23, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"reputable editor" is a compliment. "adjective: held in good repute; honorable; respectable; estimable: a reputable organization."[1] ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 13:44, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On further note, converting a JPG to SVG is about 20 times the work then actualy just modifying an image that is already in SVG format. Next time link to the SVG version of the file and ask for it to be modified. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 13:56, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: In my opinion, the img is slightly tilted. Could one make the building look parallel to the horizon? Jasy jatere (talk) 08:41, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: How about this? Corrected pincushion and perspective distortions, slight rotate, noise reduction on sky. Mfield (talk) 09:06, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

nice work in taking out the frog perspective. However, I think that the frog perspective was not a problem. Now the walls are very close to the border of the img, which makes the img look squeezed, don't you think? My main problem with the original was that it seems like the left hand side of the building is lower than the right hand side.Jasy jatere (talk) 17:49, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, its an architecture shot and as such the verticals should be vertical to give an accurate viewer representation of the subject. Unfortunately there was not enough space left in the original image to allow correction with any less crop than this, but a tight corrected crop is infinitely preferable to a building that appears to be falling backwards for encylopedic purposes. I certainly don't think the image looks squeezed. Mfield (talk) 18:01, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I trust your judgment on matters of photography. It is indeed a pity that there is not more space left, but I suppose there is nothing that one could do. Can you change the default img then? Jasy jatere (talk) 21:30, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good, except the Cherokee characters are the wrong ones, and maybe make the star larger in the middle. But beautiful thus far! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 06:32, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. I messed up the last letter. The text translates to "Tsa la gi yi A ye hli". Look at this image and match up the text with the letters. I think that it is just a font difference. --pbroks13^talk? 06:51, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You sure? I never reduced it again. Try ctrl+F5. --pbroks13^talk? 07:09, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's a neat trick! What did I do when I hit ctrl+F5? Thank you so much for your beautiful work! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 07:17, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It clears your cache. Not that I know exactly what it means, but I know it lets you see changes in images and other things if it doesn't show them yet. And your welcome! --pbroks13^talk? 07:43, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Short explanation (Sorry): It basically tells your browser to go and get and render the website, even if it thinks it already knows what it looks like (When I learned it (On IE), Ctrl+F5 was called "Unconditional refresh"). 68.39.174.238 (talk) 08:14, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Symmetrical version with filled in trefoil

Article(s): 1500+

Request: Please make the green behind the yellow symmetrical (you can tell it's not), have the hollow trefoil filled in with green (textured like the yellow petals), so that both the boy emblem and the girl emblem have substance, bulk and texture. When I first designed the original, I didn't even think about that, I was trying to simply incorporate both emblems. Now this seems like a natural progression.

- Nope, it just happens that like everyone else here we're volunteers. Since no graphist has decided to take on this task as of yet, it is incomplete.

Made a crop, problem is that the original is at a very low resolution so a detail such as the 4th frame has an even lower resolution. /Lokal _Profil 17:47, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lemur range map template

Resolved

SVG image of Madagascar with rivers and provinces (main map for template)
SVG blank map of the world (with Antarctica), used in the corner of the final template
Sample target image: target should look something like this, without the rest of Africa (details below)

Article(s): (template for...) Ring-tailed Lemur, Ruffed Lemur, and eventually all lemur pages

Request: I would like a (simple?) attractive template that I can color in to create range maps for all lemur species. The world map (BlankMap-World6.svg) can be placed in any corner of a larger Madagascar map (Madagascar_Locator.svg), extending the image if needed. I'd actually prefer a landscape orientation, similar to the sample target image (LocationMadagascar.svg). To me, it makes the most sense to extend the Madagascar map to the right (east), into the Indian Ocean, so that there's no overlap with the location of Africa. I just need enough room for a legend (if needed). I would also like the box drawn around Madagascar on the world map, as shown in the sample target image. SVG is perferred, although I will graciously accept a very high resolution PNG file. And unless better reasons can be given, I would prefer to follow the standard color conventions from WP:WPMAP. Thank you for your time. –Visionholder (talk) 06:15, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After many hours of playing around with Inkscape, I think I've figured out how to do this. I've created my template:

(Unfortunately, 20 minutes after uploading the SVG image it is still not showing up in my web browser. The image looks fine in Inkscape on my computer, so I'm assuming the server will eventually reflect the download properly.) Anyway, if it looks like I've figured out what I'm doing, just mark this as done. My only concern was the importing of the world map, which seemed to only be possible from a PNG file, not a SVG. –Visionholder (talk) 11:21, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Visionholder, the SVG is trying to refer to a file on your local hard drive. Something called "BlankMap-World6.png" - Just download "BlankMap-World6.svg" as an SVG and then include it in the file and you'll be set. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 17:46, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My problem is that when I import the SVG file in Inkscape, it imports as a large, solid black image in the shape of the map it's supposed to be. If I import it as a PNG, it imports the map correctly. Am I doing something wrong? Also, what is the best way to import one SVG file into another so that I don't have problems with the images referring to files on my hard drive? (Btw, I uploaded my PNG file in case anyone wants to use it.) –Visionholder (talk) 18:50, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found out I had to embed the PNG file, not import it. Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to embed another SVG file... which I think is pretty dumb. Otherwise, I think the template is ready. (Let me know if you disagree or have other suggestions.) Thanks for letting me waste your request space as I taught myself how to use Inkscape to solve my own problems. Your feedback was very helpful. –Visionholder (talk) 19:49, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One last thing—If there is any way to embed a SVG file into another, please let me know. In the graphic I made above, the world map is grainy when resized, whereas the rest of the image looks great. Any suggestions on how to improve it would be greatly appreciated. –Visionholder (talk) 21:40, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

To import an SVG file into another in Inkscape, open the first file, then go to File->Import and choose the second file. In this case you saw only a black oval because the world map uses a style sheet which you can find at the top of the document in the <style></style> block. Normally inkscape only uses inline style, however it can understand a style sheet and class references just fine, but it will not write to them. Thus when you import one file into another, the style sheet is lost, only inline style is kept, which means the class references were invalid for the new document. For example you have class="landxx coastxx fr re", but you have no style sheet defining these classes, so the colours just default to black. You have to manually copy the contents of the style block across to the second file using a text editor like notepad. Jackaranga (talk) 23:07, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was just writing a reply but you were faster. Did not know about this style sheet issues, but I noticed that I don't get this black oval when I first open the world map and then import the Madagascar map. Why is that? @Visionholder: Since the world map you are using is rather large and appears only in the final map to locate the island, it might be better to use a smaller world map like one of those here. Maybe this section should be moved to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Maps ? bamse (talk) 23:20, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your time, help and explantions. Before I had seen that Jackaranga had fixed the map template, I downloaded a new, smaller blank world map and imported that instead. After lots of consideration, I decided to keep Jackaranga's update. Having learned to move content from one SVG to another via a text editor, I have gone on to fix my first range map without any complications. :-) If you would like to see this template's first use (in case you take pride in that kind of thing), just visit Ring-tailed Lemur. Best wishes. –Visionholder (talk) 05:19, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was just to suggest copy & paste. Not sure if it works, but it would be worth trying. :) ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 21:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Margaret Thatcher, among others

Request: I have attempted for many months now to find a good looking, color, free use image of Margaret Thatcher which focuses solely on her. Most are copyrighted, and the ones that we can use usually do not work or do not look decent. Just recently I cropped Image:Margaret Thatcher DF-SD-06-15534.jpg to Image:Margaret Thatcher Reagan funeral.jpg, and made that the main image, replacing Image:Margaret Thatcher 1983.jpg. I don't think it looks bad, but I would prefer an image of her during her tenure as Prime Minister. So I need a graphists opinion: which of the above images could be cropped to focus solely on Margaret Thatcher? And could a graphist perhaps experiment with cropping them, because I do not have the tools to reduce noise or change a background to improve the image when it is cropped. If nothing comes of this, it's okay, but it is worth a shot. My best, Happyme22 (talk) 03:56, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:Hi, I cropped the image 3, and also removed President Ronald Reagan's shoulder from the image, but the source image quality wasn't good enough, and i don't know if it is good for article or not, i think the current image looks nice; Is there any better version available? ■ MMXX^talk 21:08, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your attempt. I still find it to be really cool how you completely removed President Reagan's shoulder from the image! Computers are truly amazing! I don't have a problem with the current image (this one) but I was looking for one of her as Prime Minister. All of the images that were shown above are within this catalog, and direct links to them are on their pages. I'm not sure if there is any better version available, and I doubt it. Perhaps something could be done with image number six? Thanks, Happyme22 (talk) 05:53, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did make another one (from image 6), but for this one i can not remove the background, do you think the crop should be more close? ■ MMXX^talk 08:50, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, perhaps that would look better. Then with the closer crop, maybe you could remove the man's face? Or is that not possible at all? Thanks for your hard work! --Happyme22 (talk) 23:24, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is possible to remove the men's face but it would not be a nice image, because the photo needs some background!!! I also think it wouldn't be appropriate if I cut the face of man in the right from center, I think the best thing to do is to cut image just from bottom of photo up to her first button. ■ MMXX^talk 12:49, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here it is, you can compare both images (old) (new). ■ MMXX^talk 13:00, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I listed all three images here so we can decide which one is better for article. ■ MMXX^talk 13:59, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I apologize for the late response. I think that despite our best efforts, the photo in the middle of Mrs. Thatcher at Reagan's funeral works best. It's good to know that there are other options, though. And I thank you so much MMXX for all of your help because you have really helped me and the article out! I'd say this is resolved.

I am confused by your comment, about sharpening the final version wich labled (Edit 4) and first edit wich labled (Retouched - 09:01, November 9, 2008) and the original image (19:25, December 13, 2006) are nearly same, I did only sharpened the image just in (Edit 3 - 09:18, November 11, 2008) and (Edit 2 - 09:16, November 11, 2008). I think you have problem with viweing images try emptying your browser's cache or refresh page by (Ctrl+F5). and also I don't know why the numbers that you wrote in your comment are different by the hours in the file history. ■ MMXX^talk 05:28, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I originally included wrong date for the first edit (now I repaired it). The hours are probably different because I am in a different time zone and the time is displayed as local time (not UTC). I certainly do not have problem with cached images. The first edit labelled "Retouched" is a little bit aggressively sharpened. Maybe your software sharpens images without letting you know. May I know what do you use? I would say that there is no need to sharpen the original image or it could be sharpened just very lightly. Please compare the original image and the last edit "Edit 4" (probably made from the first edit). You will see that there are ugly artifacts on the sharp edges - easily visible on the line under the label in the centre.

The edits 2 and 3 are not only sharpened but also converted to monochrome / two-levels (light and dark). I am certainly not a fan of such heavy modifications. It is not a restoration of the original. --pabouk (talk) 10:52, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did upload another version without any sharpening, but the problem is stretching the image make it more blurred than original image so I thought a little sharpening would be fine and also a little sharpening make the image more clear, anyway you can compare edits and decide which one is better. by the way I use Adobe Photoshop. ■ MMXX^talk 08:35, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. You are right that the stretched image is slightly blurred and a little bit of sharpening will probably help. Maybe the stretching tool in Photoshop allows selection of interpolation algorithm. Lanczos with higher parameter than 3 will produce sharper output. Personally I would say that Edit 5 is much better than Edit 4. But I am not one who is interested in this particular image. I am just a passer-by :) --pabouk (talk) 11:07, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The first version of the Coat of Arms was designed in 1909, "The current coat of arms is much different from the original." is what it says on Pi_Kappa_Phi#Coat_of_arms. Thus both the svg and the jpg are fair-use only. /Lokal _Profil 01:46, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The final version (with all of the current modifications) was completed by 1909. The original version, that the passage is referring to, was created soon after the fraternity was founded in 1904. — ŁittleÄlien¹⁸² (_talk\^contribs) 01:55, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The section in the Pi Kappa Phi article is incorrect. If you look at the cited reference, it indicates that the changes that took place "in the early years," happened before 1909. — ŁittleÄlien¹⁸² (_talk\^contribs) 01:58, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Technically it could still be a problem since the way the Coat of Arms was depicted might have changed although it contents have remained the same, ideally a scanned in version from 1909ish should be used to get around this problem. But I won't press on that. /Lokal _Profil 12:47, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Looking at this image, this coat doesn't seemed to have changed much in the last 90 years... any thoughts? --pbroks13^talk? 06:38, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly the design of the lamp might be under a new copyright, but then the image doesn't include the book either so if that was added in say 1911 the lamp might have changed to it's current shape at the same time. Wouldn't worry unless someone writes and complains though. /Lokal _Profil 16:47, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
