:::Unfortunately, the images from Vector-images have become something of a problem. As I understand the situation: a representative for this company has accepted that Wikipedia and others use and modify their raster images as long as we don't do the same with the company's own vector images, so the raster images are freebie images but the company's own vector images aren't. So the problem isn't the company in Russia - as long as you base your work on a raster image, you're in the clear. The remaining problem is determining the copyright status of an official insignia of Laos, as it is in the country itself, and finding a copy of the Laotian copyright law (if such a law actually exists) is rather difficult. Laos is not a member of the Berne convention and the only small pieces of information I can dig up seem to suggest that copyright protection in Laos is very weak; no law as such seems to exist, only a ministerial decree from 1995 (possibly the one about trademarks?). [http://www.iipa.com/rbc/2007/2007SPEC301LAOS.pdf]. The trademark decreee is no help, although § 12 specifies that a trademark cannot be registered if it contains a flag, coat of arms or similar.[http://www.stea.la.wipo.net/law/index.html]. In any case, a thorough description of the insignia is specified in the Laotian constitution § 90 [http://www.bkklaoembassy.com/Lao%20laws/Constitution.pdf] so this description must be PD like any other law I can think of. Respecting copyright and all that, I think we're in the clear here, e.g. Heather Meeker has described Laos as a country with no copyright law at all.[http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/50421.html] [[User:Valentinian|Valentinian]] <sup>[[User_talk:Valentinian|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/Valentinian|C]]</sup> 20:34, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Wow, that's fantastic research, that really helps a lot! I agree, the image looks like a PD image, but which image tag do you think would be best? I looked in [[WP:ICT]] for PD tags, but I couldn't find a specific tag that would be appropriate, apart from {{
On another note, on one of the links Valentinian had a link to the font for the Laos script. I'll use this to generate the text instead of just tracing it as soon as I can. --[[User:DTR|Dave the Rave (DTR)]]<small>[[User_talk:DTR|talk]]</small> 08:37, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

:It is looking great, thanks! If you put the red and the r/w/g/ emblems side by side, proportionally and shape wise the scroll and even the emblem shape are the same, it's just the red one was cast in aluminum so it doesn't have the sharp points the r/w/g one has. If you want to use the r/w/g emblem for an outline shape, I hope it would help and not hinder your great work. I have added [[:Image:Iran Scout Organization membership badge.png]] to show a more recent variant, unfortunately it is the same small size in terms of detail. [[User:Kintetsubuffalo|Chris]] 07:59, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Line 319:
::Actually, I meant the ''outer'' shaping of the emblem itself. If possible, could the outer edges be made a single thin line, rather than two basically parallel lines with a hollow between? Bear in mind that this was an aluminum casting and not strictly faithful to the design, because of the thickness they had to use to show detail and still have the [[cloisonné]] work out. You've got great detail, and I appreciate your work on our behalf. Your last iteration before this, with the upturned, fuller wings squares with the way it should be. I only put [[:Image:Faravahar.png]] on here to show what the otherwise-difficult to see image should be; but the fuller version you had is closer than the now-thin one. Also, can you incorporate the scroll (basic shape and text) that Akiramenai and Cronholm are using on the r/w/g variant? Thank you for all your hard work! [[User:Kintetsubuffalo|Chris]] 08:26, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Okay i think i've done what you intended now, but before I put in the scroll, we need to decide on the head on the badge, what do you want me to do with that (on the SVG is the exact thing that is on the photo) <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"> > [[User:Rugby471|Rugby471]] <sup>[[User_talk:Rugby471|talk]]</sup></span> <span style="font-size: 17pt;">

:Okay, I don't know if you graphic gurus have the ability to curve an existing shape. My ideas are this. On the wings on the Faravahar.png (which are, probably incorrectly, one degree counterclockwise from horizontal), can you warp up the ends so it will look ''swooping'', like in the Scout badge itself? I don't think the proportions are right for it, but it's an idea.

==={{{did}} copyright?===<!--werdnabot-archive-->
Just a slight warning here - the logos are copyright (by the templates on the original images) so creating SVGs with too high a level of detail could be seen to go beyond fair use (see [[Wikipedia:Logos]]). It might be best to create SVGs and then render those as PNGs at 300x400 resolution, which is probably low enough. Since SVGs are vector, not raster, they potentially have any resolution (within reason) so PNGs would be better, although SVGs with a relatively low level of detail should also be OK.

'''Article(s):''' [[Zhou Tong (archer)]]
'''Request:''' This request is not directly about this image. Rather, this ''featured'' article lacks a freely licensed lead image of decent quality. A suggestion was made to trace the figure of Zhou Tong (the old man seated on the rock) from the public ___domain image above, and use that for the lead, instead of [[:Image:Zhou Tong (small).jpg | this]] portion of a copyrighted work which replaced an awful crop of the above image.
Line 560:
::::Yeah, I noticed that too, MediaWik's being awkward again. I'll try to fix it, and the skin tones as well.

I am the author of the [[Zhou Tong (archer)]] page, so I would like to comment on the work so far. The overall shape and body is excellent, but (as mentioned above) the face structure needs to be established and skin tone needs to be uniform. I think the tanning of his highest hand most closely matches that of the original painting (but maybe cut back on the color a little). A famous folklore describes him as having "a golden tan" anyways. The belt needs to be rendered differently as well. If you look closely, the belt is actually a gold-toned rope with frills at the end.
I fiddled around with the pic on the old window's paint program and drew in a face. [http://img468.imageshack.us/img468/4154/zhoutongsittinggr0.png Here is a comparison of the two]. It's not my best work, but it looks better than the original. I made the skin color uniform as best I could, but I wasn't able to change the shading on the ears or bottom hand (I don't have any rendering software). This serves only as an example that someone can work off of. --[[User:Ghostexorcist|Ghostexorcist]] 23:42, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Line 569:
::I'll start ASAP. BTW, I think there was also some blurring on the lower hand as well. The face on Ghostexorcist's image is much better than mine, I'm not very good at SVG faces. --[[User:DTR|Dave the Rave (DTR)]]<small>[[User_talk:DTR|talk]]</small> 09:23, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
:::All I did to improve the face was paste the original traditional painting into windows paint program and zoomed in. Then I traced a rough outline of his facial features and dragged it over to the svg version. Then I took some liberties matching the facial expression to the svg's head. After smoothing out the lines and adding a dash of color from the upper hand, it was ready to go.
:::I have [http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/9021/zhoutongsitting2jn7.png improved the ear and mouth] ever so slightly, but the hands are just too blurry. I could draw some from scratch, but I don't know if I have the time. --[[User:Ghostexorcist|Ghostexorcist]] 11:14, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Line 584:
Well, this is a fantastic response so far. It is a pity that the face was so blurry in the original image.
#I would like to see a slightly less stylistic approach to his mouth though. It seems somewhat oversimplified.
#Also, his left hand seems a bit odd, since the lines dividing the fingers don't seem to match up to the fingertips...right now, he seems to have six fingers including the thumb which one must infer to be behind his beard. The other hand is better, but once again, the lines don't match up with the outline of the fist.
#Beyond that, there are some places were the ends of lines representing folds in his garment overlap the ones marking the edge. Also, if somebody is up to it, his beard could be detailed with some fine lines.
Besides that, this is very satisfactory. None of these are major issues, especially when one considers the intended size of the image in the article. [[User:Vladsinger | vlad<b>§</b>inger]] [[User talk:Vladsinger | <sup>tlk</sup> ]] 23:33, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

:That looks really good. But as Pharos pointed out, there should be blank space between his neck and tail of his cap (instead of the gray loop shape). Also, his lower hand is actually a fist and not lying flat palm down. I suggest shortening all of the fingers to a uniform length and then add a short rectangular shape that runs across the bottom of the first two fingers (right to left) for a simple thumb. After these minor problems are fixed, I think the image should be added to the article a.s.a.p. --[[User:Ghostexorcist|Ghostexorcist]] 10:05, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

2) Due to some inaccuracy (who knows what) the bottom image is about 4 pixels more stretched than the top.

:I just loaded the images in [[hugin (software)|hugin]] and set some control points. As it turns out, the biggest difficulty was convincing hugin not to do any perspective corrections, since these are scanned pages and not photos. The solution was to select "Custom" in the optimizer and to check ''only'' "roll", "x shift" and "y shift" for the second image and "view" for both. I then manually adjusted the roll and shifts for the first image to be -0.5 times those of the second image and reran the optimizer, so that the resulting image was nicely centered. I then exported a high-resolution TIFF with smart blending and converted it to PNG with the [[GIMP]]. Of course, usual panorama tips, such as discarding badly matched control points after the first optimizer run, also apply. —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 11:43, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I thought the wrinkle was going to be just about impossible to deal with using the software I had, given the nonlinear distortion of the part above and to the left of it, but then I got the idea of cutting the image into two pieces along the wrinkle, with some overlap to the bottom left of it, and stitching those back together in hugin with barrel distortion correction applied to the upper part. That was an ugly hack, but it seems to have worked. I had to play with resynthesizer quite a bit to correct the resulting gaps along the wrinkle line, so I went ahead and corrected some of those white lines too.

I've applied a salt and pepper filter to it, which has worked well; there's still some noise, but I can't get rid of that without introducing faceting. [[User:Time3000|Time3000]] 17:21, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

'''Request:''' Can someone please make the painting look crisper. It is just too faded and choppy looking -- [[User:Ghostexorcist|Ghostexorcist]] 08:28, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
'''Graphist opinion:''' That's an eight hundred year-old painting, of course it looks faded. To edit that, I'd be altering what the artist's intentions were for the painting. I'm not a professional restorer and, if I were, I'd have to work on the painting itself, not a copy of it. -- [[User:VegitaU|VegitaU]] 17:07, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

'''Article(s):''' [[Boy Scouts of America]]
'''Request:''' This a map for the [[Boy Scouts of America]] page, which has been brought to my attention as a copyvio, a situation I never want. The map I originally uploaded (Image:RegionMap copy.jpg) was deemed unsuitable. I was planning to leave you guys alone for a while ;), but this is important. Could you make a version appropriate for Wikipedia, perhaps lighten the colors to pastel, or change them for legibility? Thanks, [[User:Kintetsubuffalo|Chris]] 12:07, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
* Please hold off on correcting this image. I have already tagged for deletion, as I am the creator of this work (which my identifing info and copyright notice was edited out, and was converted from gif to jpg).

:According to http://dmoz.org/Recreation/Scouting/Organizations/Boy_Scouts_of_America/Councils/desc.html
Councils will be listed by Region according to the BSA division of 1992.

The splitting is what worries me here. Is there no free version available? --[[User:Bsayusd|<
