      • If you are requesting assistance with a copyright or fair-use image, don't display it on this page; place {{GLNF|Example.png|caption|align=left}} to create a link to it. Do not add the File: extension. Our fair-use policy does not allow displaying fair-use images out of their articles on ANY account.
    • Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed.
    • If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.

    SVG requests:

    • Make sure your request can actually BE vectorized. Note that vector drawings are not suitable for certain applications. We generally use SVG format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such. Certain things, photographs especially, are totally impossible to vectorize.
    • Per our non-free content policy, vectorization of copyrighted images is not permitted. If a vectorized non-free image is desired, seek out such an image from the copyright holder.

    Australian Flag Designs

    Request: Create an SVG file of the flag proposals linked above.

    Graphist opinion(s): I'll work on some of the PD ones. Fry1989 eh? 22:34, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Seven Gold Stars

    Article(s): List of Australian flags

    Request: Create an SVG file of the "Seven Gold Stars" Flag found at http://becrux.net/seven-golden-stars/

    Graphist opinion(s):

    Strangely for someone who's promoting a national flag design, that link states that this flag has a registered copyright and can't be produced without permission. And while I don't think it's eligible for copyright, the fact is still that it's registered, and it's better to upload it on WP (not on Commons) with a fair use rational. Unless you want to contact the designer and suggest releasing it under a free license. Cheers! -- Orionisttalk 19:10, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Strange indeed. I don't think it's original enough for copyright, but whatever. Fry1989 eh? 22:32, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Signatures, again

    Article(s): John McHugh, Raymond Odierno, Raymond F. Chandler III; Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr.; Chuck Yeager

    Request: I was hoping the five signatures from Army leaders on these three images could be grabbed and converted to SVG format for the infoboxes on each person's respective page. All four should fall under {{PD-signature|United States}} and {{PD-USGov-Army}} lisencing. —Ed!(talk) 03:15, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Cricket pitch

    Article(s): Leg before wicket (this is the one the image is needed for, but the file is also used at Cricket field and Cricket pitch)

    Request: I'm not too sure if I'm in the right place or not. Would it be possible to remove the text from this image? Particularly that at the bottom by the stumps. I'm not sure how this works, but it may be better to create a new image rather than simply change this one. In addition, would there be any way to create an image similar to the one on this page? (It may need someone familiar with cricket and the lbw law!) It would be similar to the one which exists with arrows showing the ball landing in different parts of the pitch. Thanks. Sarastro1 (talk) 17:53, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Graphist opinion(s):Image's request under progression Request taken by -- Orionisttalk 06:48, 15 March 2013 (UTC).[reply]

    Yes, you've come to the right place for image making, maybe not so much for cricket knowledge. But we are accustomed here to handling requests on all kinds of subjects, as we rely on the guidance of the requester and any references they provide. So, I'll recreate the image you linked and we can change it later if anything is incorrect. Cheers! -- Orionisttalk 06:48, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    That's perfect. To be honest, it would be fine just to have this image. However, if a set of images could be produced with a little more on, that may be helpful. The best way to see what I mean is to check the link above, but I was wondering if something could be done to show the flight of a cricket ball, where it bounces, and whether it will hit the stumps or not. The link shows it better than I can explain it; could anything like that be done? Sarastro1 (talk) 22:22, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    A set of images like the BBC link is totally doable. I just need you to provide me with a couple of free photos that show a bowler and a batter in a similar position to the BBC image. It doesn't matter if they're low-res or blurry, I just need to trace the body shape to give the illustration a bit of realism. Everything else (ball path etc.) can be done easily. Cheers! -- Orionisttalk 04:47, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    No problem. Maybe the left hand image here or this one for the batsman, and maybe this or this for the bowler. There may be others, but I think these would work. Sarastro1 (talk) 14:22, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Nice. I'll start then with the BBC image you linked. After you check it and make sure everything is fine we can use it as a base for any other illustrations you need. I'll be busy for the next couple of days though so there's going to be some delay with this. I hope that's okay. Cheers! -- Orionisttalk 01:22, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    That's fine, no rush. Sarastro1 (talk) 22:59, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Chess diagram fill

    Article(s): template:chess diagram

    Request: Create an SVG file of arrows on transplant blank(8 image). and 4 image of omega chess advanced piece fool on non transplant blank. also see Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop/Archive/May 2010#Finish {{chess diagram}} pieces SVG-ification.

    Also I want SVG version of Amazon (Queen Knight compound) file (6 image. white on transplant blank, on light blank, on dark blank, black on transplant blank, on light blank, on dark blank).

    I think now a = archbishop (knight + bishop compound) c = chancellor (knight + rook compound) so d= amazon would be better.220.74.36.60 (talk)

    I thinks we need more talking about location of amazons, but we should made files about other request. --218.237.59.15 (talk)13:39, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Also I thinks we need blue piece on transplant background--218.237.59.15 (talk) 13:58, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    arrow and fool finished. But arrow image name duplicate on some pieces. --218.237.59.15 (talk) 12:43, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    When you say "finished", what exactly do you mean? NikNaks talk - gallery 16:55, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello. I upload t = fool (for Omega Chess) and ten arrows. but some area d , l and u there are on arrows. --Chesshole (talk) 05:07, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Graphist opinion(s): Perhaps you would care to look at my proposals here? NikNaks talk - gallery 11:22, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    I agree with you. Bu we should renamed arrow file first. may be we can use number for frees L,U,R,D. foremore, now there are ten types of svg arrows chess file(upleft:ul,up:ua,upright:ur,left:la,leftright:lr,up-down:ud,right:ra,downleft:dl,down:da,downright:dr) also we needs two types more. upleft-downright, uprightt-downleft. We should rename codes of 12 types of arrow.

    Oxygen images

    ☒N Not done and not likely to be done

    Article(s): Oxygen

    Request: Please chop something off of the top. I don't know why there are two. DePiep (talk) 00:28, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Graphist opinion(s):

    I'm not exactly sure what you need. Should we crop even more at the top of the left image? It seems already cropped sufficiently for me, but I don't know your exact requirements. -- Patrick87 (talk) 10:10, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    You are right, the left one is OK. Then, reducing the right one would produce a copy. Maybe there is a reason for deletion of a copy, but that should be checked elsewhere. I withdraw. -DePiep (talk) 12:01, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]


    Article(s): Admiral (Royal Navy)

    Request: Red, white and blue are different squadrons in the RN. Please reorg diagram into colored columns, one each for red, white blue. The arrows have to be moved for that. Thanks. --91.10.24.26 (talk) 07:06, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Graphist opinion(s):

    One question: Is there any preferred order? I'd order the columns as blue -> white -> red (left to right) and keep rear admiral -> vice admiral -> admiral bootom to top as it is now. Therefore only the red an blue flag in the middle row need to be exchanged. Should there be applied an additional caption to the columns? I'd take the request this evening if nobody else wants to do it earlier. -- Patrick87 (talk) 10:21, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
