'''Graphist opinion(s):''' {{I take|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 --[[User:Goldsztajn|Goldsztajn]] ([[User talk: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. [[User:Grenavitar|gren]] [[User talk:Grenavitar|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! --[[User:Goldsztajn|Goldsztajn]] ([[User talk:Goldsztajn|talk]]) 00:50, 12 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 script|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.

'''Graphist opinion(s):'''

Well, you can do that for a Wikiproject if you want but the official Paris Metro logo is far simpler.  Look at the upper left hand corner of [http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~ricardo/misc/paris-metro.gif this map] or on [[:File:Ticket-t.jpg|this ticket]] and you will see the logo for Metro is M with a circle, Trams are T with a circle, etc... [[User:Grenavitar|gren]] [[User talk:Grenavitar|グレン]] 19:34, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
:I traced that design to a SVG. BTW I just realized how many similiar-looking metro/commuter rail logos there are in the world, e.g. [[File:MBTA.svg|38px]] vs. [[File:Stockholm metro symbol.svg|40px]] , [[File:S-tog.svg|40px]] vs. [[File:S-Bahn-Logo rot.svg|33px]], and [[File:U-Bahn_Wien.svg|40px]] vs. [[File:U-Bahn.svg|33px]] (Boston vs. Stockholm, Copenhagen vs. Hamburg, Vienna vs. Berlin). [[User:Hydrox|hydrox]] ([[User talk:Hydrox|talk]]) 09:38, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
:: Thanks hydrox! I agree, the logo of a letter with a geometric shape around it is not very unique, for the [[Comparison of rapid transit systems]] article I'm working on it might be nice to have some other more city-specific logos, but it's hard to know what if anything that might be. By the way, how do you make the SVGs? Do you know any software for Linux that could do it? Thanks, [[User:Sligocki|Sligocki]] ([[User talk:Sligocki|talk]]) 16:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
::: Definetly. [[InkScape]] is an excellent open-source software for making SVG vector graphics, and most SVG you see on Wikipedia has been created with it (or [[Adobe Illustrator]], which is proprietary Win/Mac software). It should be available on most distributions with ''apt-get install inkscape'' etc. (This one, however, I made only with a with text editor like a HTML file, by following the [http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/ SVG spec]. Writing the code by hand results in a smaller file size, although the difference is usually negligible.) [[User:Hydrox|hydrox]] ([[User talk:Hydrox|talk]]) 03:14, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I hate to point it out, but the metro sign should be fair use since there isn't [[commons:Commons:Freedom_of_panorama#France|freedom of panorama]] in France, so photos of signs etc. on public display are subject to the same copyright as the sign itself.  [[User:Time3000|Time3000]] ([[User talk:Time3000|talk]]) 11:29, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
: Uhmm, I read that page and it appears that it is about photos which represent copyrighted artistic works (sculptures, architectual buildings) in public space. But we are arguing here, with the template {{tl|PD-textlogo}}, that because the sign only consists of ''simple geometric shapes'' and ''text'', it does not meet the [[threshold of originality]], and is therefore uncopyrightable in the first place (at least under the U.S. jurisdiction).

: Sorry about that guys. I still wonder if this is the most recognizable symbol of the [[Paris Metro]], does anyone know of a better image to use for it that would distinguish it from other cities' metros?

Here are the differences, listed at the talk page: 
{{Quote|:From a far glance, yeah, perhaps the two look similar, but when one examines the vector image closer, significant errors made while attempting to trace the image can easily be found. The curve is not correct on the P; the a goes too far down; the N looks like an M, as the line goes down in the vector image for the i, while it goes up in the original (third curve in); the curve isn't as high as the original on the x; the o isn't a complete circle. The fact that the vector image, when examined looks different from the raster original image is what bothers me. If you can create an exact copy of the first image in SVG format, I will wholeheartedly support adding it in.

'''Graphist opinion(s):''' The low resolution (2K) raster barely contains enough information to reconstruct the signature but is this an improvement?  The stroke is a bit thick but otherwise I think it follows the original reasonably well.  This is an automatic trace in Inkscape with threshhold 0.8 and other parameters left as defaults.  It's also much smaller, though larger than the jpg. [[User:Certes|Certes]] ([[User talk:Certes|talk]]) 01:19, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

As Bsay USD said,  it's well composed, and the background is nice and blurry, so it doesn't distract.  Artificially reducing the noise with a filter is not a good idea here.

Why would one award a stub-class barnstar?  If it's for humour then perhaps the image itself should be a basic and incomplete stub, e.g. [[File:Pentagram green.svg|20px]]! [[User:Certes|Certes]] ([[User talk:Certes|talk]]) 11:09, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

*'''Reply''' it would go to editors who go out of there way to improve stub-class articles [[User:BigPadresDUDE|Big]][[User_talk:BigPadresDUDE|Padres]][[Special:Contributions/BigPadresDUDE|Dude]] 00:23, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

:Perhaps we could use the opposite of the second picture above, with the graffiti replaced by a blank outline or rough sketch of part of a barnstar (analogous to a stub article) and the eraser replaced by the graphite end of the pencil (or a paintbrush) to indicate the process of completion.

'''Article(s):''' [[Top quark]]

'''Request:''' The layout is essentially OK, however there are some mistakes made (particularly concerning particles and antiparticles), and it would be nice to use symbols rather than words. If you keep the balls and arrows on that picture, the following changes would need to be made

:Above: Top quark = ''t'', bottom quark = ''b'', W<sup>+</sup> boson = ''W''<sup>+</sup>, muon = ''&mu;''<sup>+</sup>, neutrino = ''&nu;''<sub>&mu;</sub>
:Middle: Protons = ''p'', antiprotons = {{overline|''p''}}. Keep the "explosion"-looking thingamajig.
:Below: Top quark = {{overline|''t''}}, bottom quark = {{overline|''b''}}, W<sup>&minus;</sup> boson = ''W''<sup>&minus;</sup>, left ''quark'' = {{overline|''c''}}, right ''quark'' = ''b''. Ignore the "low-energy muon".
:Remove everything else (legend, caption, particle/antiparticle, ...)
:Please pay attention to italics, overlines, superscripts, and using real minus signs (&minus;) rather than a hyphen (-)
:The arrows from the top quark/antiquark to W<sup>&plusmn;</sup> should be replaced by squiggly lines (such as in [http://www.physorg.com/newman/gfx/news/1-fermilabcoll.jpg here])

:I swear I replied to this earlier. Anyway, here goes again. First it's a ''very'' good first draft, but yes, there are some more tweaks to be made before it's gold. Namely:
::All the ''b'', ''t'', ''W''<sup>&minus;</sup>, ''&nu;''<sub>&mu;</sub>, should have full circles
::All the ''{{overline|c}}'', ''{{overline|b}}'', ''{{overline|t}}'', ''W''<sup>+</sup>, ''&mu;''<sup>+</sup> should have empty circles
