Only free photo of JFK's motorcade on the day of his assassination

original archival scan from the library of congress (will not render thumb as image is over 12.5 mp)

Article(s): John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, John F. Kennedy assassination, several others

Request: Upon finding this historic gem of a photo I uploaded a crop of the high-rez LoC scan and nominated it for featured picture status. This was premature, as the image could use significant restoration and cleaning up. I've suspended the nomination for now, in the hope that a graphist would take a crack at it. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 08:55, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I'll have a go at it. However, it would seem counter-intuitive to work on the low res crop of the original. Rather I restore the original, then have you crop it how you please. Or you could tell me, I'd crop it for you too. These should be put in jpg format; png is definitely not the right format. XcepticZP (talk) 17:52, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've downloaded the original LoC file and am working on it. Would love it if a collaborator shared the work, because I really hadn't been planning on this job. It's heavily artifacted for an image that's only 45 years old and not in great focus, but considering the underlying importance it's worth a restore. I'm thinking we can each take turns at zapping artifacts until the obvious part is done. The work is simple but tedious, and not a bad way to relax while listening to music. Editors who'd like to help are welcome to contact me by e-mail. Durova^Charge! 19:02, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would prefer to work alone, as I use non-destructive editing methods. And these methods need to stay in .psd files. Those files are too big to email back and forth. But if you want, I'd be glad to collaborate. Post me a message on my talk page when you've uploaded your newest copy and want me to do some work on it. XcepticZP (talk) 15:16, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I've been trying to learn how to do this. I left a request for help at Wikipedia_talk:Collaboration_to_convert_graphs_to_SVG and on User_talk:El_T five days ago and I haven't heard anything yet, so I don't know of anyone active who can do this. If somebody who can help reads this, please do. Dhatfield (talk) 15:26, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I redrew it using Inkscape using the original picture as a layer to draw on top of. Hohum (talk) 22:26, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is one way to vectorise, but it is not really accurate. That line is no doubt created by a mathematical equation, and the dots have true values. Unfortunately, it takes a pro in SVG text editing to make that into a graph. Still no response from the pros. Dhatfield (talk) 12:26, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As a copy of the original graphic, surely it is perfectly acceptable. It isn't intended to be a graphic that you measure accurate or exact results from, it's a visual aid. Hohum (talk) 12:03, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Inkscape recently added support for isometric (actually, axonometric) drawing, so I did that. I probably can't do the first one, and I can't make any promises, but I'll try a few others.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 15:28, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've done the basic drawing of the isometric workpiece, since they need to stay consistent. I'll wait for feedback.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 16:02, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks HereToHelp, a good start. A couple of comments - Please use the same linestyles and length in the mechanical drawing - they have specific meanings and Section AA should be shaded as per the original. To be accurate the new version really has to be an exact copy of the original. I think the radius of the hole in the isometric view of the same object is a little larger than in the example mech drawing and please use stroke lines, not fill, as per the original. Thanks for your input. Dhatfield (talk) 09:28, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

I'd prefer something at least tangentially relevant to the subject, rather than just a pretty picture, even if that might be hard to come by for such an abstract topic.

The linked picture is of an eye. We are relating an abstract concept related to sensing. Dhatfield (talk) 13:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps something illustrating the mirror test for self-awareness? That article does have a picture, but it shows a species which is not generally considered to pass the test; something with a human child or an animal that does pass the test would seem more appropriate. Maybe this one from mirror stage? I also found this picture in Commons:Category:People with mirrors. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 15:59, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Self-awareness and awareness are completely unrelated. The one does not imply the other at all. Someone can be self-aware (I think, therefore I am) without any senses and almost all living organisms are 'aware' of their environment in some way. Biological psychology may choose to narrow that definition (as they state up front in the intro), but essentially, awareness is about sensing and cognition. I personally find this article to be written with a heavy POV neuroscience slant and do not think that the illustration should limit itself to that interpretation of the definition.

MissMJ (talk) 21:46, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't explain the origin and selection of the colors, as opposed to the color circles, which make it somewhat easier to carry the entire legend mentally. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 21:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does the origin and selection of the colors matter? They could be 8 different shades of pink for all anyone cares, really... It just seems weird to me that a legend would require its own separate graphic, especially since looking at that particular one, it's not readily obvious what magenta, cyan, yellow, and white mean; it presumes familiarity with Venn diagrams. I for sure didn't realize that white meant a ban in all public places until I read it in the legend. MissMJ (talk) 00:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The current color scheme has a logic behind it more than the usuall random selections, and it cannot be easily explained by just a text legend. If it was changed to be just a progressive gradation, then an image would be inappropriate, but currently the image represents the color legend better than just a series of lines of text. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 00:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request spherical versor

Resolved

– Rgdboer (talk) 23:14, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spherical triangle consisting of great circle arcs
Alternative #1
Alternative #2
Final version

Article(s): Versor

Request: The fit of the diagram to the article would be improved by these changes:

Remove triangle angles α and β
Put arrows (direction) on arc AB, arc BC, and arc AC
Place center 0 in the sphere
Show and label radii OA = α, OB = β and OC = γ
Show poles r of arc AB, s of arc BC, and t of arc AC
Remove interfering parts of great circles that are unecessary for spherical impression.

This is a mathematical-scientific project applicable to the globe, celestial sphere, or other spherical context. Your attention appreciated. Rgdboer (talk) 22:09, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Replys below questions. Both #2 and #3 are improvements. #2 focuses well on the triangle. #3 shows roundness but teases my focus. So, slight preference for #2. Thank you.Rgdboer (talk) 22:59, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Couple of things arent exactly clear:

Which way do should the arrows point on arcs AB, BC, and AC?

arrow directions: A->B, B->C, A->C

What exactly to you mean by poles?

A great circle is the equator between its poles. Even an arc defines the pole of its great circle.

The diagram we are starting with is a spherical triangle with three right angles. In this case the vertices are poles of the opposite sides. There is no additional work necessary then for this image. Thank you. A more generic spherical triangle would have poles away from the vertices.

I've posted what I have right now. There's two alternatives to show the sphere-ness. I know that not everything looks great; I'll tweak it when I know what the other changes are. --pbroks13^talk? 22:35, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Arrows are done; the poles aren't needed, so this should be it: Image:Spherical triangle.svg. Anything else that you think should be done? --pbroks13^talk? 00:54, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The arrow on arc AC is reversed from correct direction. Otherwise good.

This image illustrates addition of right versors. A similar image based on a scalene spherical triangle would be a more universal illustration. Poles are called for in general.Rgdboer (talk) 20:38, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the arrow direction. And if you want, I have no problem adding the poles - just let me know. --pbroks13^talk? 23:17, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Bordeaux Tramway Line C / Tramway de Bordeaux

Request: -- gren グレン 17:48, 10 July 2008 (UTC) I'd like two things. Image:Ligne C.svg is completely out of date and I'd like a version (SVG or PNG) to match line B and line A. The complete map provides the updated route of line C to be used as a basis. The same applies for line A whose northwest extremity is out of date. Here is an official map which might also help and is completely up to date.[reply]

If it's too difficult then any map showing all of the line C stations in order would be a good start rather than the really shortened version.

The complete map is a little out of date--meaning the dashed lines on line C and A are now completed as of February 2008 and needn't be dashed anymore. This should be a relatively easy fix, I think?
