Drawings in Nassak Diamond

Article(s): Nassak Diamond

Request: Clean up' perhaps trace the lines, make them straighter where appropriate, etc. -- Suntag 04:53, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Vectorized 2nd Image, File:NassakDiamondPlate1904.svg -- GateKeeperX (talk) 07:15, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vectorized 1st Image -- GateKeeperX (talk) 07:44, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. If needed, there is more info at museumdiamonds.com. -- Suntag 16:19, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In the first image (the black and white), are you having any trouble seeing the white lines against the black backdrop? I can increase the line thickness to contrast more sharply if necessary. -- GateKeeperX (talk) 16:48, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It looks fine in Nassak Diamond. However, I think the thicker lines in the original drawing represented those lines closer to the viewer and the skinner lines are the ones you would see through the diamond (that appear on the hidden side). In File:NassakDiamond1876.svg, can you mimic the different line thickness of the original drawing NassakDiamond1876 (make the forward lines thicker). Thanks. -- Suntag 20:26, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I uploaded a new version, with the lines in the back faded, but it appears quite hard to distinguish (at least at this size). I think increasing the thickness of the front lines, might help. -- GateKeeper(X) @ 01:47, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, if you look at the image used in the article Nassak Diamond, the new image looks pretty good. Some of the bolded lines in the original image don't seem to have carried through to the latest image. -- Suntag 04:50, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nuclear binding energy

Article(s): Binding energy

Request: It's a nice picture, but it is hard to read. Adding gridlines to the plot would be great too, and it shouldn't be too hard, but I can't do anything in Inkscape to save my butt... Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 01:06, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I'm taking a crack at this. My plan is to use a logarithmic scale, as well as adding gridlines. We'll see what I can throw together in gnuplot... — ʞɔıu 04:16, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, sorry to jump ahead, but I've extended the gridlines up in a new image, called File:Binding energy curve - common isotopes with gridlines.svg. Is that useful or not what you want? Mononomic (talk) 04:19, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's cool. My logarithmic scale idea didn't pan out. Titoxd can decide if this is sufficient, or if s/he would like something else... — ʞɔıu 18:32, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Looks nice, but can we have horizontal gridlines as well? We can change the color of the data points if necessary. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 00:05, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've added said gridlines. Do we need to change the color of the data points or are those OK? Mononomic (talk) 00:41, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quick remark, I find the numbers on the elements pretty hard to read. Any way to make them bigger?Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβςWP Physics} 08:06, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy to make them bigger. Is that OK, Titoxd? Mononomic (talk) 00:13, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That'd be okay, as would be switching the colors. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 14:26, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Any specific color requests or should I just make it look cool? Mononomic (talk) 15:47, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ooh, forgot about this, my bad. Any color would do, as long as it is visible (making the line thicker would help too). Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 09:31, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so I've tried to do that but I can only make the gridlines thicker without throwing everything else off. When I try to make the text bigger, the spacing in the graph gets all messed up. Does anybody else want to try or should I just thicken the grid lines and be done with it? Mononomic (talk) 17:29, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the gridlines are thick enough, I'd say. Maybe leaving the main line the same thickness, just a different color? Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 06:04, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ideal layout plan

Hi! I am writing an article about the Jesuit Missions of the Chiquitos and could need an illustration of the ideal layout plan of the mission settlements. The plan should not depict a specific town, so there is some freedom for a creative mind. Ideally it would be 3D, but 2D is also fine.

The following elements should be visible at least:

  • (almost) square plaza with a cross in the center and palm trees
  • church with two patios, (external) tower, garden and "important" buildings on one side of the plaza
  • other houses in rectangular shape and parallel to each other on the three remaining sides of the plaza

For inspiration I can offer the following pictures: ( pic1, pic2 and slideshow, page 4). A description in text form can be found here (English or Spanish)). Would be great if somebody could create such a plan.bamse (talk) 20:07, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some more sources for inspiration: pic3 (search for "Idealplan einer Jesuitenmission") and pdf, page 28 (This layout is a bit unusual as it has extra streets.) bamse (talk) 01:34, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Happiness

Request: Jeff Woloson was a Wikipedian who died in August 2008. His family remembers how much Wikipedia meant to him and stated so in the Memoriam dedicated to Jeff. File:Jeff in thailand is his mother's favorite photo of Jeff. I tried to improve the photo at File:Jeff in thailand 2 by cropping it and erasing the guy blowing his nose. However, it needs the hands of someone with more skill and better tools. Please improve "File:Jeff in thailand" and place any improvement at "File:Jeff in thailand 2.PNG". Perhaps crop better and erase that guy walking in the background. make the colors more vibrant, the image more clear, etc. Coming from Wikipedia, this improvement to his mother's favorite photo would really mean a lot to Jeff's family. Thanks. -- Suntag 20:29, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I attempted to clean up some jpg artifacts around the woman behind Jeff and raised the quality a moderate amount, along with removing the man you requested. I added my attempt to the gallery. --Kamangir1214 (talk) 04:22, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looking good. Is it possible to remove the man walking and the foot below his right hand in the File:800px-Jeff in thailand3.jpg image? -- Suntag 16:00, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh wow, I actually forgot about this. I think I attempted to do what you asked a while ago, and I was unable to. Sorry about that.--Kamangir1214 (talk) 00:23, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the woman behind the eagle. I had to modify some features like the sky and the ground. But overall, it is pretty decent and barley noticeable. ZooFari 00:15, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

iPhone map

Article(s): iPhone

Request: So I would like a map of iPhone availability that is up-to-date. I like the color scheme of this version, with dark blue being released in 2007, light blue representing 2008, and green "coming soon". Resources:

This seems like a fairly easy sort of thing to do if you can work the Python script. Thanks!--HereToHelp (talk to me) 01:52, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Should be fairly easy to update even without the python script. Just wondering though if the flat and compact map wouldn't be better, after all iPhone is never likely to be available in Antarctica. /Lokal_Profil 15:02, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps so. I tried to update it by hand but the countries are listed by two letter codes. Inkscape can't alphabetize them, making it very difficult. As for finding the countries by hand, WYSIWYG, good luck.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 00:41, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also: Can someone rotate the photo viewer app photo so it's square and then upload over the original file? It's completely separate from the map but it should be really easy. Background removal would be nice if it can be done cleanly and easily, but it's not required. Thanks! HereToHelp (talk to me) 01:17, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I've fixed the rotation and made the background white. The left side is slightly larger than the right, but it's not very noticeable. CountingPine (talk) 04:43, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps the camera was a little bit closer to the left. Can you crop out some of the whitespace, reducing the horizontal dimension? I tried to do that myself and the resulting file was larger than the original…my program must not have very good compression. Also, still waiting on the map.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 22:42, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So I've created a new map based on the info on the apple.com page. Not sure I see what additional info there is on the applelot.org page though (apart from saying that the US, Germany, UK and France got it in 2007). Apple.com has info about upcoming releases (such as quatar) which aren't on the applelot.org page. /Lokal_Profil 02:27, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Uploaded, please note that dark blue is slightly differently defined from above. /Lokal_Profil 02:44, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And updated the original. /Lokal_Profil 02:52, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much! When you mean "slightly differently defined," I take it as we're ignoring the year and worrying about whether the original iPhone was ever available, correct? Ireland didn't get the original iPhone until '08, but it did have it [1] and is the darker blue on the map. That's probably more useful information anyway, so thanks again.HereToHelp (talk to me) 03:46, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Changed the definition based on which countries had been coloured in the version you referred to above (after having scratched my head to figure out why Austria was coloured). /Lokal_Profil 18:50, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: How does it look? Do you want the letters and numbers opaque (i.e. the lettrs & numbers will be white no matter what background the logo's placed on), or do you want them as they are currently? (i.e. transparent, letters/numbers will be the same color as the background the logo's placed on.) [|Retro00064 | (talk/contribs) |] 07:38, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, i only received a message on my talk page yesterday.

Article(s): Dell

Request: Could somebody please convert this JPG image to a SVG image with transparent background? I would do it myself but I use Inkscape and the low image resolution plus the fact it's a JPG means that it would be quite difficult for me to do it myself, and even then it would have errors. [|Retro00064 | (talk/contribs) |] 10:51, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I'm also a homebrew Inkscape user, and I don't trust my graphic talents any more than you do yours. However, I know enough to have a hunch that a plain Dell logo, with just the text, might be helpful.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 13:39, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm on it. Do you want the black circle around the logo? If so, do you want it shiny-styled (like in the photo) or just plain ol' black? Mononomic (talk) 16:52, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh well, I guess I'm just impatient. I tried the logo, but it's not shiny. Let me know if you want it to be. Mononomic (talk) 17:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like a bot removed it. Take a look at File:Dell logo.svg. Mononomic (talk) 19:11, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's not bad, but the shine would make it closer to the real thing. Try the shine, and if that doesn't work, I'm going to brandsoftheworld.com to re-upload the plain old Dell wordmark logo. Still, the no shine version would qualify. [|Retro00064 | (talk/contribs) |] 05:28, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I've updated the image. How is it now? Mononomic (talk) 16:27, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
