Article(s): Romeo and Juliet
Request: At the Romeo and Juliet featured article candidature I commented that many of the images needed nice crops, cleaning. I have listed above the ones I thought were most obvious that someone could help with but feel free to look at the article if you think you can help with others. My 'comments' are vague because I am not good at this... but all of the images I paste I think could be cleaned up somewhat to make this a better FAC.
It may be a good idea to upload as different, restored images and then comment on the FAC or change them yourselves rather than overwriting these images. gren グレン 12:45, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: I uploaded a new version of the portrait of John Gielgud. The author requested that his work integrity should not be touched. I hope that the black border was not part of the work. What do you think? --pabouk (talk) 11:32, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
- That is excellent. I'm only sorry most users will only see it as a thumbnail: the full version is great. Thank you. AndyJones (talk) 21:20, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I straightened out Image:Arthur Brooke Tragicall His.jpg somewhat, feel free to revert if you want the old version back. Tadpole9(talk • contribs) 20:08, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- I also retouched the second image, but didn't replace the original this time. Tadpole9(talk • contribs) 22:06, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Is image straight?

-
4 corners marker
Article(s): Quadripoint
Request: I tried to straighten the image from its right-tilted original but I am not convinced that it is entirely straight yet. But it may just be the curve of my monitor distracing me. Can someone with better image software chek it? Rmhermen (talk) 18:05, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: It was off a tad. But it depends what you wanted to look straight, for instance I used the cross as my vert and horiz measures. Out of curiosity what software did you use? If you feel my edit detracts from the image please revert it! §hep • ¡Talk to me! 18:16, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- The thumbnail isn't updating... Seen this on a few other images but I don't know the cause. :( -----J.S (T/C/WRE) 22:08, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- Iz becuz zhe wiki needs to get sum new image rendering software. (That was fun) §hep • ¡Talk to me! 22:18, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'm very familiar with these type of conflicts. Due to the angle of the shot, it may never be fixed completely with a "straighting" software.

- On second thought, someone else can do it. I need to work on my speed-svg skills... I think i might be tracing too meticulously. James1293 (talk) 01:04, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
- Tried it more... It's pretty difficult. Does it really need svg? James1293 (talk) 19:27, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Request: The current image isn't matching to current laws of China. The legal image of the state emblem is located at http://www.safp.gov.mo/external/chin/apm/files/info/64/china_logo.gif Can the image above be changed to match the image I am linking here?

Three-point field goal diagram(s)

-
Pre-existing SVG
Article(s): Three-point field goal
Request: This article needs, at the very least, a pictorial representation of the NBA three-point line as described in the "Rule specifications" section (including the "closest point" also described in the section) Furthermore, perhaps a comparison of three-point line distances would be nice. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 09:00, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: To whoever does this I found an SVG that might be helpful at Basketball. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 17:08, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- This one maybe too, there are some others here and here. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 17:20, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- Too whomever takes this up, it might be helpful to the reader if the colors matched approximately what might be expected to be seen at an actual basketball court. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 19:36, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Request: This image renders correctly in firefox's svg render and did render well in the wikipedia one, but it seems to have broken. What can I do to correct this? GameKeeper (talk) 14:45, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: This should probably go to Wikipedia:Village pump (technical), I don't remember the software Wikimedia uses, (something Wizard?) but if it worked before and not now it's most likely a software issue. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 17:31, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- It should be fixed now. --pbroks13talk? 20:28, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately you did not say what did you change. Did you convert the text to image? --pabouk (talk) 22:23, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Request: color to match Image:Execseal.png-- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 00:39, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Graphist opinion: There isn't a .gif but a PNG does exist, did you mean that one? §hep • ¡Talk to me! 01:05, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, thank you! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 01:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- Please note that the first image has license problems. /Lokal_Profil 02:10, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- Fixed both, I think. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 11:57, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- Anyone? Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 15:47, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
- Right here. Still need help? What can I do for'ya? Mononomic (talk) 16:55, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
- Anyone? Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 15:47, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
- Please color Image:Palau seal.gif to match Image:Execseal.png, svgify both if you can. Note both have name change tags on them. Thank you for responding, Mononomic! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 17:25, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
- I have colored the image and it is now located at Image:Coat of arms of Palau.png per the name change request. Is the image OK? In general, it's very hard to do work on such small images. The Image:Execseal.png will be very difficult to improve or vectorize. The coat of arms might be slightly easier, but I don't have those extreme skills to do it. Let me know what you think. Mononomic (talk) 18:05, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
- Brilliant, thank you! Can you give 2 and 3 a plain white center, instead of the paint-colored white? Thank you so much! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 18:34, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
- White or transparent? I was thinking transparent might be better for later use. Mononomic (talk) 22:21, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
- Transparent sounds great, please, for both! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 14:18, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
- OK, like I said above, I can do little with Image:Execseal.png. I can put most of it on the transparent background (like around the seal) but the seal itself will still have that different background color. The coat of arms I can put on a transparent background entirely. Sorry to make this so difficult! What do you want to do? Mononomic (talk) 18:53, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
- Gotcha. Okay, then transparent background for Execseal.png, coat of arms put on a transparent background entirely. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 00:03, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- Done. How now, brown cow? Mononomic (talk) 00:25, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- Perfect, thank you! I have tagged both of them to be moved to Commons. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 00:42, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
