For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
    This specific page is the requests page for the illustration workshop. Anyone can make a request for an illustration to be improved or created for a Wikipedia article. Clicking the "New Request" button will bring you to a standard template for submitting requests, as well as general advice that should be followed. Most charts and graphs on the web are in the public domain. See c:Template:PD-chart; no need to create another free chart here if it already exists on the web. See this Casebook to see what charts qualify as public domain. Requests for healthcare related images may be make at MDWiki:WikiProjectMed:Requested_images.

    I have done some clean-up just for personal amusement while between jobs. I must leave it to others now. I would suggest rather than asking here, you should download Inkscape, play with it to see how it works, and fix them. It is best done by someone who has a closer cultural connection with the flag culture in question. Hogweard (talk) 22:20, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi I can try to do the request RAPTOR7762Whats up? 00:09, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    @RAPTOR7762: Thanks for all the files you've created so far! Just a few things:
    1) Regarding Elizabeth Anne Sheldon's proposal, could you add the pattern of gold nuggets underneath the seal (which is what the gold smudges at the bottom of the blue disk are intended to represent, since the blue disk is supposed to be a prospector pan)?
    2) Regarding both Robert Niel DeArmond's proposal and Walter A. Savikko's proposal, perhaps you could change the seals on those ones to the full-colour version, instead of the yellow version from the other two existing files? It's just that since the source images don't actually give visual demonstrations of how the seal is intended to be displayed on those proposals, I think the primary full-colour version would be a safer bet (and the same would apply to the seal on Eugene Wacker's proposal if you decide to make that file as well).
    Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks again for all your hard work already. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 13:34, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Heart-shaped depiction in Leo xiv's coat of arms

    [edit]

    It's been a few months since Leo Xiv's heraldry was revealed, and regardless of whether the background color in the lower right corner is yellowish or white, their hearts are always complete and there's no dent on the right side. I'd like to ask if the heraldry on Wikipedia should be updated. Based on the images I've seen so far, the heart shape on his coat of arms should be similar to the heart shape he used when he was a cardinal.

    Hi @Alexphangia You should consider learning some basic SVG skills, as for minor colour changes you can just edit with a text editor. In fact you can just use a phone and a text editor app (I use runestone text) to edit RAPTOR7762Whats up? 08:57, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Serpent labret with articulated tongue
    Request
    A couple years ago, Afever made these excellent images. They need a couple minor revisions. Could anyone please make the following edits? The images are based on the ones on pages 115–117 of this article; these can be used as a reference for the needed edits. The edits:
    • Top left: Please: 1) remove where the line at the mouth crosses over the tongue; 2) remove the gray from the portion of the tongue which is inside the serpent's mouth; and 3) put a small "A" at the bottom left of the image.
    • Top right: Please put a small "B" at the bottom left of the image.
    • Bottom left: Please: 1) add the three "plugs" (the things with diagonal lines); and 2) put a small "C" at the bottom left of the images.
    • Bottom right: Please: 1) add the three "plugs"; 2) define the end of the serpent's tail (this may require making the surrounding gray area a little larger); 3) make the surrounding gray color (i.e., the part that was added in this image) a bit different (e.g., with dots) than the interior gray color (i.e., the color that's in all of the images); and 4) put a small "D" at the bottom left of the image.
