    Moon phases diagram: correct, yet needs SVG-ing
  •  
    Lunar phase diagram; new version; first try

Article(s): Lunar phase

Request: The Lunar-Phase-Diagram.png image needs to altered; the phases of the moon need to be shown in a manner like the Moon phases.jpg /Phases_of_the_Moon.png image; eg in that the moons need to be colored white/black; depending on their phase. Also, arrows in a circle need to be added, similar like the Moon phases.jpg image

The Moon phases.jpg image itself needs svg'ing

Both images need to be maintained as they both have distinct characteristics; the Moon phases.jpg image eg also shows the formation of tides (the "blue" around the earth), and the Phases_of_the_Moon.png image also shows the timing. KVDP (talk) 09:22, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):I am a bit confused about your description. Which two images do you refer to when you say 'Both images need to be maintained'? The two shown here (Lunar-Phase-Diagram.png and Moon phases.jpg)? -->yes these two need to be kept in the database; as in "not deleted from database" (however do change them; see below)

And why do you mention the tides in The Moon phases.jpg (not shown here). -->sorry bout this, made another image with tides aswell, quite similar to this one. Offcourse in these images no tides are indicated. However, it still has other charisteristics as the timing is indicated. If I understood correctly, this picture should not be changed but used as a source for the moons at the different stages. Is that correct?! -->No; the picture does need to be changed, but 2 (somewhat identical images) need to come in place under the same name. Perhaps that your first try may be improved and then used to overwrite the first file. The other file can be overwritten with an improved version of that image. Reason for this is that I don't like too many (similar) files in the wikimedia commons; this leads to having a quantity of poorer quality images being used/linked to wikipedia.

On a general note, I would suggest to create a high-res png (or jpg) instead of a svg. Both the earth and the moon pictures are not very suitable for svging without loosing too much detail. -->no arguments here

SPLETTE :] How's my driving? 19:16, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I gave it a try. The rotating arrows are still missing. Did I get it right? What needs to be changed?

-->Aldough I didn't mention it at first, I think it's best to swap the yellow arrows with simply the sun; place it at the left; also, change the moons, as noted before they have to be white/black; different with every phase SPLETTE :] How's my driving? 01:25, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ack, the new diagram and drawing are very confusing and misleading. You are trying to accomplish two different things with the new diagram at once (which cannot both be done simultaneously) - showing what the phases look like from the earth (instead of from an outside vantage point like the original), and showing the phases relation to the earth and sun. This needs to be divided into two separate diagrams - one showing what all the phases look like from the earth (and thus not including the earth in the diagram), and one showing the phases, the earth, and the sun as actually viewed from a distant vantage point (not earth). The 2nd diagram would be similar to File:Lunar-Phase-Diagram.png. Kaldari (talk) 19:11, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):   Request taken by Certes.

New version uploaded. 99% of the SVG is embedded JPGs which use xlink without defining it. I've added the standard definition

xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"

That works on Firefox 3.5.5 on Windows XP. Can you check it with another renderer (such as Firefox 3.0.15 on Ubuntu) please? The text looks ok in Firefox; the cropping appears to be a separate server rendering problem which I've not addressed. Certes (talk) 23:14, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Convert to SVG MahangaTalk 18:46, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Why?-Andrew c [talk] 01:48, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure. I'm no graphics person. I was told at WP:FAC to request it here. MahangaTalk 03:51, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I see. Generally, since Wikipedia is the "free" encyclopedia, and because non-free content can only be used in very limited areas, not a lot of effort is put into improving non-free content (especially if the task is time consuming or difficult, which some SVG conversions can be). Often, it is better to simply try to find a better official image. This is for two reasons, first, it makes sure that the organization in question is being 100% represented the way they want to (often with SVG conversions, we can't be 100% identical, and we don't want to use a color, or font, or shape that the image creator never intended). The second reason is it is a lot easier on us (less work, obviously ;). That said, you may still find a graphist willing to fulfill this request. Personally, I wouldn't fail a FAC based solely on the quality/availability of non-free content (and it seems like the individual who made the remark has stricken the oppose). Hope this explains why I asked why. Handling non-free content, IMO, should have a good rational attached to it. -Andrew c [talk] 16:36, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I was the one who made the request. Considering we are talking about an FA here, I think we should have high-quality images as well as text and research. Also, Wikipedia's image policy suggests that logos be converted to SVG. Awadewit (talk) 15:40, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I do agree with the request made. The image is of a poor quality, and I think we would benefit from a vector version. Connormah (talk) 22:41, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
But there isn't enough information present to make an SVG. What are those dots in the white circular bands? Stars? Maybe so, but are they pointing up, or down, or are they individually radially arranged? What about the even smaller dots surrounding the big central star? What are those? How many different color stars are on the flag? We cannot accurately recreate this flag because we don't have enough information to go on. Does anyone have any other pictures of this flag to help us out, or a written description or anything? Given the detail of this photo, any SVG made from it would be guesswork at best. Sorry. We can't work magic, or in this case, resolve detail out of blurry dots. (BTW, I agree completely that the image is in poor quality, and we could benefit from a vector version. But perhaps we should be seeking out official sources for this image, or at least higher quality images to start). -Andrew c [talk] 01:35, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. I don't think anyone would want to go through the headache process of re-drawing the whole image from the current given source. Connormah (talk) 22:46, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request: I am currently expanding the National Treasures of Japan article (see here). In order to grasp the various types of cultural properties and designations, a schematic diagram like this (page 34 upper diagram) or this (page 4) would be very helpful. It would be great if a graphist could create such diagram. The generic terms (tangible/intangible/folk cultural properties, monuments,...) should be distinguished (by color or so) from the designations (Important cultural properties, national treasures,...). It would be nice to have the top designations (national treasures , special historic site, special place of scenic beauty, special Natural Monuments) distinguished (by color or so) from the lower grade designations.

I'm not sure why. Change the opacity up to 100 percent for the red lines (and any other lines) and remove the slight blur from some of the lines.

  Done Live tracing the original image was probably not the best way to go; it created a giant file with unnecessary detail, which kind of defeats the purpose of the SVG.

I don't think it is a copyvio problem (then again, I am not an expert on the subject). I did use the texture from the pdf as a basis but have a close look at the two pics. Could you tell I did? All the scratches are gone. Some parts I had to recolor completely because they didn't match (like the 'bump' on the right). So, it wasn't just copy and paste. I used the texture as a start and then drew on top of it. I think if you would recolor it from scratch you would arrive pretty much at the same result (only that it'd take much longer).

The autotraced one is this image. Connormah (talk) 17:51, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but where was it autotraced from (raster)? ZooFari 18:00, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have uploaded a better processed trace. ZooFari 18:40, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It still looks a bit off. I may scan through some PDFs for a logo. Connormah (talk) 18:56, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done. File:NBALogo.svg 19:06, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Okey doke. ZooFari 19:09, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Connormah. The one traced from the GIF is off. The ears are weird, the elbow is softer, the finger on the ball is all but missing, the the type has some weird curves. Please be more careful in the future, or better yet, find an official vector version for official logos. When we attempt to trace logos like this, we end up with bad knock-offs, that makes wikipedia seem unprofessional. Pet peeve of mine. Thanks for locating an official vector version!-Andrew c [talk] 16:20, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Menstruation, Menstrual cycle, Basal body temperature, Luteal phase, Follicular phase

Request: This is a significant project which I hope someone will want to put some time into. Right now, our diagram of the menstrual cycle is embarrassingly poor. This is a very important diagram for an encyclopedia and we should have something better to use. Rather than list off all the problems with the current diagram, of which there are many, I'd like for the graphist to take a look at some other examples on the web which are far superior:

  1. The Holistic Care
  2. UCSB Sociology Department
  3. Answers.com
  4. Britannica
  5. Pearson Education
  6. Women to Women
  7. Nursing Crib

Since the diagrams above are all copyrighted, we can't simply copy them outright, but hopefully they will give some ideas and guidance for someone willing to create a new diagram. Also, I don't think we necessarily have to include all the information in one diagram. The graphist may want to consider splitting the project into multiple diagrams to reduce visual clutter.

Graphist opinion(s):
Hi, this is very interesting. I actually find it to be crucial that all of the charts are included in a single diagram, as the information is interdependent. Let me work on it for a bit. --Isometrik (talk) 19:19, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here, I worked on the first version of it. I made it so that you can include it in the article with the height of 430px and it stays readable. Things that came up:
- i changed the traditional representation of uterial wall
- the corpus luteum is not yellow because i looked at a real photo on the web, and it wasn't
- i still am not sure about the body max and min temp. as it was inconsistent at different sources, can you provide me with that?
- please also proof read it all.
cheers Isometrik (talk) 23:40, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, nice work. Could you perhaps make it more clear in the diagram what the labels "Follicula" and "Corpus Luteum" are referring to (or perhaps remove them). Kaldari (talk) 00:50, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We done?--Isometrik (talk) 15:58, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good to me. Kaldari (talk) 16:12, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
One last thought. What do you think about removing the line above "Menses, Proliferative, Secretory"? It seems unnecessary to me. Kaldari (talk) 16:30, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, I tried doing that, and the words seem to title the uteruses above them, and besides the line reflects the DAYS line, confining the whole diagram into a defined time span, thus making it easier to read. I added word PHASES under UTERUS CYCLE so it's less ambiguous. I guess we done! --Isometrik (talk) 17:28, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, that seems even more confusing than before. I don't know whether to read it as "Uterial Cycle Phases" or "Uterial Cycle" and "Phases" separately. Both the phase names and the uterus illustrations correspond to the uterine cycle, correct? If so, I think we only need one label on the left side. In my opinion, the label should just be "Uterine Cycle". (Note "Uterine" rather than "Uterial".) Also, if you prefer to keep the line above the phase names, could you at least move the line up a bit so that it is halfway between the phase names and the illustrations. Otherwise it looks a bit boxy. Thanks for your work on this! Kaldari (talk) 17:47, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
How's it now?--Isometrik (talk) 18:28, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
