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]

Request: I would like someone to improve these pictures so that I can submit them to the already well endorsed Dragonfly article. I guess the images need a bit of sharpening and slight colour corrections. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Graphist opinion: I apologize in advance if this seems a little harsh but honestly, these images are not going to be improved with sharpening. There is simply not enough detail there to sharpen. You need to retake the images with better lighting, focus (get the wings to lie along the focal plane) and more depth of field. WP has a lot of very good dragonfly images so you are up against some very steep competition and with all the PP in the world, these are not going to come close.

Now I've got these messages on Commons:

Dear Ssolbergj, your map of China colors Arunachal Pradesh in light green (together with Taiwan)which implies it is somehow rather a part of CHina although under Indian administration. Why then doesn't the India map have Aksai Chin (a Chinese administered region claimed by India) be colored light green on the India map? Same goes with Pakistan occupied kashmir. Shouldn't those areas be in light green too? Please maintain neutrality as prescribed under Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. I look forward to you recoloring those maps with a NPOV in mind and not China slanted views. (Reference: [2] vs [3]. Thank you.

Can someone please sort this out and draw the right borders? I'm lost. :( - SSJ ☎ 14:22, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: hi, i was wondering if anyone here would be interested in creating a simple SVG image. I'm terrible at making them. After not really getting any help by leaving messages to users on Wikipedia, i ended up here.

So the image i'm looking for is very simple. I'm looking to get a black flag, with a white circle in the middle of it. It doesn't really get any more than that - its supposed to be similar to Image:TUGS Flag.svg. The image is shown in the top of this image, as well as the far left of here and middle right of here. I understand its hard to see but if anyone could help me even the tiniest bit that would be amazing :D

I figured it should be around the scale of normal flags, i think its 4.5:3? that may not be true. The image is to be used on Template:TUGS as well as a userbox along the same lines as that, which i've not yet made.

Again, if anyone could help me, that would be amazing. I'll keep an eye on the page, I've got my talk page as well if anyone feels the need :) --^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 23:58, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request: SVG please and Can you upload Commons, please. --Lord Leatherface (talk) 10:55, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:An svg version of the flag is available now. I am a bit reluctant of converting the second picture to svg as well as neither is used in any article. The quality of the coat of arms is not the best either. bamse (talk) 01:49, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also I use these svg images in Turkish Wikipedia and Latvian Wikipedia. Can you make Crescent in Image:Coat of arms of Vilayet-i Trablusgarp.jpg like Crescent in Image:Flag of Vilayet-i Trablusgarp.svg, please.? Do you understand me?--Lord Leatherface (talk) 12:25, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Like this? A word of warning: I don't know anything about Heraldry, so I am not sure if the outline of the coat of arms is correct. Also i don't know what the colours should be like. I used 0/102/0 (RGB) for the green and 238/238/236 (RGB) for the crescent based on Image:Flag of Vilayet-i Trablusgarp.gif.bamse (talk) 13:29, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me. I can speak a bit English. Can you thin Crescents in coat of arms, please?--Lord Leatherface (talk) 15:17, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about your English. It is perfectly understandable. Is the new version better? bamse (talk) 16:46, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's better than old version. Thank you, very much.--Lord Leatherface (talk) 18:59, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bacon's Castle

Article(s): Bacon's Castle

Request: Can something be done to correct the apparent lean of the outside walls? And maybe a better crop? Rmhermen (talk) 15:16, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Cropped and adjusted the perspective. If the changes don't look good feel free to revert. Tadpole9^{(talk • contribs)} 18:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC) I did a more complete correction, color balance adjustment and sharpen. I uploaded it over again so check the version history and see which you prefer. Mfield (talk) 04:06, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Coat of arms of Ireland

Done

Coat of arms of Ireland
Standard coat of arms shape

Article(s): Coat of arms of Ireland

Request: The Coat of arms of Ireland seems to be an odd shape. Could somebody change it to the standard shape (see image 2), and add a black border (which also seems to be standard)? Thank you! Cameron * 21:20, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I don't think there is a "standard" shape for coats of arms. I think, (but I am not sure) that this shape is ment to match the historical shape. It seems to match up with the only other source for it that i could find. -----J.S (T/C/WRE) 21:50, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, fair enough. Feel free to remove this proposal. I merely mention it because it has been bugging me for a while. Especially when it is listed with other coat of arms. :) Best, --Cameron * 21:56, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Naw, lets leave it up. I could be wrong... If someone with more direct knowledge of coats of arms could speak up it could clear up the issue. -----J.S (T/C/WRE) 21:58, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I almost forgot...the question of the black border still remains. If you look closely at the image to which you linked, you can see a black border, which our version lacks. --Cameron * 15:23, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are various shapes of shield (see Escutcheon (heraldry), but on most it doesn’t matter. The only government link seems to be here (the Irish embassy in Argentina of all places!) and that shows the same shape. Unless it is evidence of a specific shape, then usually the creator of the image has free reign. As for the black line, I really don’t think it matters. Unless it is defined in the blazon (formal description) of the arms, it is the opinion of the once again the graphic's creator as to whether to add a boarder or not. The representation of a coat of arms is really up to interpretation of the blazon, for example all of these show three yellow lions on a red field (the arms of England), but all do it differently.

Therefore it is probably best to stick to the status quo. By the way, apologies for the lesson. You asked for someone with knowledge, but I can get rather longwinded on the subject!-23230 ^talk 17:56, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
