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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.

This jpg version doesn't have any sourcing to prove that it meets WP:RS so it couldn't really be used for an FA. I recommend using as our base a map sourced from a reliable place so the SVG will be well sourced as well. gren グレン 12:58, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
White or transparent? I was thinking transparent might be better for later use. Mononomic (talk) 22:21, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Transparent sounds great, please, for both! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 14:18, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Done. How now, brown cow? Mononomic (talk) 00:25, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: I tried making a transparent background png version from the jpg, and it doesn't look bad in the article, but if you look more closely or paste it to a black background you see the cropping of the white background has failed somewhat. My skills just aren't enough because of the COA's details in the middle. It just bothers me that articles are using somewhat faulty version because of me. :) So if someone's up for it, just replace the the current png, thanks. Pudeo⺮ 19:36, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
