Request: Greetings. I'm completing the university article, and I would like to add the maps for the two largest campus, that are available in these websites as PDF files:
Melendez Campus and
San Fernando Campus. Both maps are in
Spanish, and I'll be glad to help in the translation of the names. Regards,

Graphist opinion:
Here they are as PNGs:
[1][2]. But before I go ahead and upload/translate them, what is the licensing for each of these?

Article 41. Any person shall be allowed to reproduce the Constitution, laws, decrees, ordinances, orders, regulations and other administrative texts and judicial decisions, subject to the obligation to abide strictly by the official edition, and provided that such reproduction is not prohibited.
The university is a public institution, and because of that, its materials can be thought as administrative documents. Also, I don't know if these can be vectorized, and the background color or texture changed. Regards -
Andremun (

No worries, I already have vector versions - I just uploaded them as PNG to avoid rendering errors. Also, I'm assuming that we're still abiding strictly by the official edition when translating/tweaking these maps, right? Anyway, here they are:
Image:Melendez Campus.svg and
Image:San Fernando Campus.svg. You can translate them with
this tool, or you can manually post the translations and I'll do my best to change it. I also strongly recommend you use PNG versions once everything is translated. Cheers,

I see why you suggest to use PNG. These files are quite large. I tried to use the tool that you suggested, but it seems that I messed up a bit. I will upload them translated, and some editing must be done to organize them, specially the font size. I'm not sure what you mean by "abiding strictly", but I think for presentation, some edits have to be made. Thanks for the work so far! Regards -

Request: Hello! I would like to request some help from the editors. Is it possible to create "modern" image from it, something like this one
[3] or make a new one form this blank Europe map? [BlankMap-Europe.png] Thank you very much!
Description: The "red line" marks the borders of Hungary and Poland (under personal union), "Lengyel Királyság" means:
Kingdom of Poland, Magyar Királyság means:
Kingdom of Hungary. "Hűbéres and húbéres területek" are the yellow areas, they are the vassal states of Hungary (
Moldavia,
Wallachia,
Bosnia, and
Serbia). Yellow line: border of the vassal states.

Graphist opinion: It takes a lot of time to trace all national borders by hand. But I have done it with all EU member states in
this map (you can redefine the crop in Inkscape). If you want a template blank map where this has been already done for all countries, chech out
File:Location European nation states.svg (though that map isn't as big geographically). Do you want a specific map or just a perfect blank map? -

Request: In the past,
User:Ch1902 here was able to make
File:Chinese character Cheng.svg, an svg image of a Chinese character, based on the MingLiU font. I'm wondering if he or anyone else here can do the same these two characters
[4][5], using the "Unicode standard" glyph. Putting them next to each other in the same image, or making two separate images, are both fine—they're the same word, just one is a simplified character and one is a traditional character. If it helps, the discussion at the last time an image like this was made is at
Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Image workshop/Archive/Apr 2009#Chinese character, if you want to see how they did it then. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs 15:26, 18 May 2009 (UTC)reply
Graphist opinion: There you go. Done as two separate images with not much white space either side so they can be placed next to each other manually. — ₪₪ch1902₪₪ 19:41, 18 May 2009 (UTC)reply
Actually, as it turns out, the use of a "+" character in the name seems to prevent the images from working correctly in the {{double image}} template. Since you uploaded them on commons, do you think you could rename them (or just upload them under new names and delete the current ones)? rʨanaɢtalk/contribs 20:08, 18 May 2009 (UTC)reply
I just tagged them with a {rename} request, so hopefully a commons admin will take care of it. rʨanaɢtalk/contribs 20:10, 18 May 2009 (UTC)reply
I'm not sure what problem you're having? I tried it and they seem to work OK. If there is a problem I suggest getting someone to fix the template rather than rename the files because the file names conform to other unicode character images. — ₪₪ch1902₪₪ 10:51, 19 May 2009 (UTC)reply
Request: The map needs some colour changes to be introduced into the Cold War (1947–1953) article. Concretely, (i) Albania's colour should be the same as that of the other Eastern bloc countries; (ii) the NATO countries should be coloured with different tints of blue to reflect the steps of the alliance's formation. Five countries that signed the
Treaty of Brussels (the core of future NATO): Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France and the United Kingdom should have the most deep colour; other NATO founders, United States, Canada, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Denmark and Iceland, should be a little bit brighter; then Grece and Turkey should follow; FRG, that joined NATO only in 1955 should be light blue. The colour of neutral countries should be left unchanged. (iii) The legend should be modified accordingly (without giving too much details). Thank you in advance. Paul Siebert (

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by Goldsztajn. Hi, a little complicated this request, but I've had a try and came up with the "be" character (although the Devanagari part is not quite correct yet). Nevertheless it's doable for me, I'll just be a little slow. Without the Devanagari phonetics it would be easier... :) Regards --
Goldsztajn (

Looks very good to me... and I see nothing wrong with the Devanagari (the loop closes in the PNG but not the SVG... but, that seems a matter of font and not of correctness). Thank you for working on this. I think it will be useful to have an SVG... unless you think it's better just to put this on the page in a table not using an image. But, Images are nice because you can print them out more easily.

It was ok, but not perfect as the accent on the Devanagari character was not displaying in the proper place, but with this second test file I seem to have solved that and now have all the Urdu/Hindi characters and accents displaying properly...just need to get English correct! --

Goldsztajn (

It's looking good. Obviously a lot crisper than it was. The thing and I may be able to figure this out by changing the font is to make it a more
Nastaʿlīq looking script where it goes from upper right to lower left rather than the more typically Arabic naksh. But that's a matter of style. But, the Devanagari was definitely the most difficult part for me so thank you very much for that part.
grenグレン 15:11, 24 May 2009 (UTC)reply
Personally, I'm not such a fan of the Persian caligraphic font styles to illustrate letters because IMHO it makes it much harder for those not familiar with Arabic script to view. To me it is a bit like illustrating the English alphabet to non-Latin familiar viewers using a Gothic script, rather than a basic sans serif script. Anyway, I've tried it with a slightly different less Nakshish font, which gives a bit more sense of the caligraphic....Let me know what you think.--

The current (Wikiwide) idea seems to be that if the SVG was created freely (IE. Not derived from a copyrighted work) and is used correctly (Like any other fair use image), it'll be OK. If you have conscientious scruples about it (Pretty common with this type of request), feel free to pass on it.

Request: Could someone please make this file transparent,
File:Soccerball mask.svg ? As for the soccerball, I want the background to be transparent because it take up spaces. If it can't be transparent, maybe any of you can help me to cut a bit the white background so that it fits the soccerball size. The file is from commons, and if any of you know any help pages that you think you can forward this question to, fell free to do it.
Arteyu ? Blame it on me ! 10:21, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
I think you doesn't have to make it trasparent, better to cut a bit the white background so that it fits the soccerball size, do not make it transparent. Thanks
Arteyu ? Blame it on me ! 22:21, 15 May 2009 (UTC)reply
Graphist opinion: While I can't help with this request myself, I should point out that this template is used in {{Soccer icon}} which is in turn used in a multitude of stub templates. The background cannot be transparent because the ball is, and trimming too much of the whitespace may have an adverse effect. However, I do agree that the template is less than perfect; while it may prevent the need to have individual icons for each and every country, the end result is rather more cumbersome than an individual icon would be.
PC78 (

It's okay if it cannot be done. But the image just take up so much spaces. I hope that some of you can figure out how a new file can be made without taking up spaces (that can replace this one that is being used on stubs. Thanks anyway (:

I don't see why a little of the white space can't be trimmed off the sides. Looking at the pages it is used on you can see that, unlike other stub icons, it appears a little further to the left. Should be simple to just trim some off the sides, nothing fancy.

Request: Hi! It's me again. I just want to point out that the location name for the file above is wrong. Firstly, the island part of the state is not called "Pulau Penang" as in the map. The actual name of island part is "Pulau Pinang" (in Malay) or "Penang Island" (in English). The peninsular part of the state is known as "Seberang Perai", not "Penang" as stated in the map. The state as a whole is known as "Penang" in English. Another mistake that I've seen in the map is with the name of the capital of Penang. It should be "Georgetown", doesn't have any spaces between the "George" and the "Town" word.
My request is to create two map similar to that in PNG or SVG with no road lines (the lines in white and gray).
First map in detail: To create a new Penang map with no location names (no font at all & no road lines). If can don't make it black and white. Make it in colour. Also, I don't want the compass (the North locator or whatever you call it to be in the map).
Second map in detail: To create a new Penang map with location names (only state the Penang Island part, the Seberang Perai part and the George Town capital). Also, if can don't make it black and white. Make it in colour.
And if possible can you also make a map showing only the Penang island? I want to put it on this article —
Penang Island.

Visually, the pictures look fine; nice clean lines with not too much detail, just a little bit shaky on the finer scale of lines. If you drew these in Inkscape, where are the SVG files? It would be much easier to work from those. Something like clicking on the curves and simplifying (ctrl + l) would probably make them look better. Alternatively, change into node mode (F2), click on a node in a squiggly part of the picture, then delete the node (delete key).

On the B alphabet (Football word), there is a very little portion of the purple colour, would you mind to erase it? There is also two other portion of the purple colour on the body of the logo. Those are very minor and could only be seen when you zoom at it (It looks like the one on the B alphabet).
I would also want you to fix the W alphabet (TO"W"N), the part where it looks like an X and the upper part of it intersects (the transparent part inside the upper X) it does not look sharp enough. Thats all. Thanks (:

It's probably sufficient as it is for being a gif. Gif's are by nature low resolution and the way transparencies work with a gif you need hard edges not soft edges, so you can't have blended soft edges on a transparency with a gif. If for example the original image was around before it was cropped with an oval in gif format someone could make a PNG version with a much softer transparency... but for a gif I think it's probably as good as it gets. — raeky(

It's restoration was suggested during a featured picture nomination, so the "tedious" work is in fact needed. The picture's subject and quality deserves it.

FWIW, that isn't "VIII" at the end, it's "RI", as in Rex Imperator. King Edward VIII was King of England and Emperor of India. Likewise, Elizabeth II signs her name "Elizabeth R" (No "I" because she's not Empress of India). See
Royal sign-manual, etc. The better signature you found was of Edward, Duke of Windsor, long after he'd abdicated. To the extent that it's used in most of those articles, the "Edward RI" version is important. I suppose that means continuing to seek a better copy. Will Bebacktalk 23:41, 27 May 2009 (UTC)reply
Unfortionately, that or someone with the ability to actually forge it close enough to be scanned and digitized. Although I didn't dig too deeply into finding another version, just a quick google image search. If someone finds a better source to bitmap trace, that would be good. Such low quality images though either you have to basically redraw it from hand to be similar or settle for very poor quality. — raeky(

Just a couple notes: The East Colonnade is not labeled and "Colonnade" is spelled wrong in "West Colonade" [sic]. Also you're missing an "e" in "Jacqueline". Additionally, it looks like the font for "Executive Residence" is smaller than the others. Maybe it's just an eye trick, but if it is different, can you make it the same as the rest?wadester16 17:33, 31 May 2009 (UTC)reply

The Graphic Lab never vectorises copyrighted works as a matter of policy, thought not all logos are copyrighted, and some are of a simplicity and lack of originality that they cannot be copyrighted (such as the logo of

Hi, thanks for the work you are doing on this guys, and my apologies for the mess on this article. It was created in three waves using different graphics tools each time, (slowly getting better). I no longer have professional design tools available (I no longer do that kind of work) and it took a while for me to acquire the right toolkit for internet work. However, I have reverted the latest batch, I did not think they were acceptable. Can I suggest that you template the updates on one of the more recent, better, diagrams in the article such as
File:Bridge T with non-ideal inductor.svg? The resistors are zig-zag US style instead of boxes.
SpinningSpark 13:16, 13 June 2009 (UTC)reply
Shall I take a look at the rest of the PNGs or is someone else tackling them?
File:Bridge T with non-ideal inductor.svg looks great but a bit large at 41KB. By the way, I always thought of the zig-zag resistors (with three points each way) as a global standard, with the box style as a valid but old-fashioned alternative. UK magazine Everyday Electronics used zig-zags since 1971 and its successor
Everyday Practical Electronics still does. Which symbol do we want for impedances in
Zobel network or don't we care as long as it's consistent?
Certes (
talk) 15:33, 13 June 2009 (UTC)reply
If it's too large there must be something unecessary in there, just copy and paste the bits that are useful. The zig-zag is not a global standard, you have it the wrong way round, it used to be everyone used zig-zag but the official standard in Europe is now the
IEC standard which uses a box. At least that was the case when I graduated (all the exams had boxes) and as far as I know nothing has changed since. However, zig-zag is used in the US and is still widely understood (and even preferred) amongst engineers in the UK. I started off doing Wikipedia diagrams with resistor=boxes, because I assumed that was the global standard, until I realised that was confusing many Americans. Since I actually prefer the zig-zags and since the era I write about uses those symbols it seemed sensible to me to change to zig-zag. There is no reason that Wikipedia should standardise on one region's standards. This has been discussed at Wikipedia Electronics but the consensus was that they don't much care and are not going to impose a standard of their own. This does not apply to the first two diagrams you did by the way, which are impedances (Z), not resistances (R), and it universally agreed that impedances should be boxes.
SpinningSpark 16:58, 13 June 2009 (UTC)reply
Thanks, I'll take a look at the other images now. As all the existing SVGs have zig-zag resistances, I'll draw mine that way. It seems a useful way to distinguish resistance from impedance within this article, even if it's not a universal convention. I'll put them on Commons and move my previous efforts
123 there too.
