- I finally got the converter to work. I'll color the map now. Do you want the whole map of just the southern part, and do you want numbers in the map (like this region is 1 and in the caption it says 1 is this region) or do you want the names of the regions in the map? --Sn1per (talk) 17:26, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
- If there is the northern part you should include itl Numbers shouldn't be there preferably. Thank you.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 18:14, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
- Do you have a complete list of where each Ahupua'a is? 'cause the converter didn't include what each region was, and the gif only has the bottom part. --Sn1per (talk) 18:23, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
- In fact, the data includes the whole state of Hawaiʻi! I think I should focus on this map, though. --Sn1per (talk) 21:32, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Correct font on seals

Done
Article(s): Multiple
Request: If anybody here is good with fonts and text, I would really appreciate help in correcting the inscriptions of these two seals. Their sources are 1 and 2. A buddy was able to do an attempt at the font on the Senate Seal with trace-work, but if anybody knows the real font (or a very close cousin perhaps?) used, that would be brilliant. The Governor's seal, my buddy believes is some sort of Times New Roman, but when you enlarge the image, it looks similar to the font used on the Senate Seal. Fry1989 eh? 20:51, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

- This one better? I'm still working on the other one. They aren't the same font, but what is causing problems identifying it is that damn bevel on the plaque in the photo. I've narrowed it down to about 3 or 4 fonts that are similar. When I get a chance I'll do some tests to see which looks best on the screen. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 14:38, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

State reptiles over the years


Article(s): State reptiles
Request: Convert to area chart. Make new file name for improved image. TCO (talk) 20:15, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): Why is an area chart preferred? What is the source of the data? Jon C (talk) 08:49, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
- I have an Excel spreadsheet of the data (see article, it is just the years adopted from that list). Can give it to you textually (see below). I could not get the Excel program to make a proper area chart for some reason. When I selected "area chart", it would treat the years as independent values (not part of a time domain) and my X axis would get messed up. BTW, it also smoothed the line (which I did not want, prefer the truth showing steps).
- The reason for preferring an area chart is that (a) we are showing progression to all 50, so area shows amount better. (b) it is more visually striking.
- Data
Year states 1969 1 1972 2 1979 3 1983 4 1986 6 1987 7 1988 8 1989 10 1990 11 1993 13 1994 15 1995 18 2003 19 2005 21 2006 23 2007 24 2008 26
Please keep "50" as the maximum on the graph. (intuitive maximum!)
P.s. If you want to make it 1960 to 2010, that is fine. I like "wide" aspect images since they are easier to text wrap around...TCO (talk) 16:49, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
- Hi TCO - does this satisfy the requirements? (If it does, please substitute in article, and mark this entry as resolved. Thanks!) (If not, let me know and I'll make necessary amendments) On that note - this is a completely hand-drawn graph, so if you want to incorporate additional info (e.g., landmarks in state-reptile adoption or some such, we can arrange to have them marked up on the chart as well.) Jon C (talk) 06:50, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
Now we're talking! And muchos gracias for the hand draw. This is just the sort of thing I was looking for. Could you please make the following tweaks just for prettiness?
- Extend the "amount" of state reptiles all the way to the far right (since they endure).
- Make the X and Y axis title and number font bigger.
TCO (talk) 15:06, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
P.s. You don't know anything about drawing chemical process diagrams or gymnastics tricks by any chance? (Always scouting for talentz. ;-)) -TCO
- I've updated the graph with the requested amendments. You may need to refresh the browser to see the changes.
