:In fact the "blurry shadow" is caused by storing the images in JPEG format. If you have the original images stored losslessly uploading them will certainly help (if someone is not going to redraw them completely to SVG). --[[User:Pabouk|pabouk]] ([[User talk:Pabouk|talk]]) 09:13, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

'''Request:''' This amazing chart features at the article on [[Thong (clothing)]]. But, alas, it's incomplete. There are more significant variants remains to be added. I can't darw, and I can't get the original sketchmaster to work on the project. Can the graphic workshop help? <font face="Kristen ITC" color="deeppink">[[User:Aditya Kabir|Aditya]]</font>^{([[User talk:Aditya Kabir|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Aditya Kabir|contribs]])} 07:23, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:''' I created a C-String illustration, could you be more specific about which additional variants should be created? (Also I would recommend the others be converted from .png to .svg format) -- [[User:GateKeeperX|GateKeeper]]^{([[User talk:GateKeeperX|X]])} <font color="red">@</font> <font face="Comic Sans" size="2"> '' '' </font> 18:35, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

::A [[:Image:Delicious bikini-girl silvia.jpg|cheeky]] may be very useful. Commons has an image of a [[:Image:Thong.svg|regular thong]] (the commonest type), but it doesn't fit the graphic scheme here. I completely agree to the .svg idea. But, I don't have a software to do that, and already I had to come to this page for the conversion. Thank you very much. And, did I tell you that C-string came just fabulous? Looking forward to seeing the magic of Wikipedia at work.

'''Request:''' Can something be done to correct the apparent lean of the outside walls? And maybe a better crop? [[User:Rmhermen|Rmhermen]] ([[User talk:Rmhermen|talk]]) 15:16, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:'''

Cropped and adjusted the perspective. If the changes don't look good feel free to revert. [[User:Tadpole9|Tadpole9]]^{([[User_talk:Tadpole9|talk]]&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Tadpole9|contribs]])} 18:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I did a more complete correction, color balance adjustment and sharpen. I uploaded it over again so check the version history and see which you prefer. [[User:Mfield|Mfield]] ([[User talk:Mfield|talk]]) 04:06, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

'''Article(s):''' [[Coat of arms of Ireland]]

'''Request:''' The Coat of arms of Ireland seems to be an odd shape. Could somebody change it to the standard shape (see image 2), and add a black border (which also seems to be standard)? Thank you! '''[[User:Cameron|Cameron]][[User Talk:Cameron|*]]''' 21:20, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:'''

I don't think there is a "standard" shape for coats of arms. I think, (but I am not sure) that this shape is ment to match the historical shape. It seems to match up with the only other [http://www.shopping-supersaver.com/Travel/Hotel_listings/World/Ireland/ie).gif source] for it that i could find. -----[[User:J.smith|J.S]] <small>([[User_talk:J.smith|T]]/[[Special:Contributions/J.smith|C]]/[[WP:WRE|WRE]])</small> 21:50, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

:OK, fair enough. Feel free to remove this proposal. I merely mention it because it has been bugging me for a while. Especially when it is listed with other coat of arms. :) Best, --'''[[User:Cameron|Cameron]][[User Talk:Cameron|*]]''' 21:56, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

:: Naw, lets leave it up. I could be wrong... If someone with more direct knowledge of coats of arms could speak up it could clear up the issue. -----[[User:J.smith|J.S]] <small>([[User_talk:J.smith|T]]/[[Special:Contributions/J.smith|C]]/[[WP:WRE|WRE]])</small> 21:58, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

:::Oh, I almost forgot...the question of the black border still remains. If you look closely at the image to which you linked, you can see a black border, which our version lacks. --'''[[User:Cameron|Cameron]][[User Talk:Cameron|*]]''' 15:23, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

There are various shapes of shield (see [[Escutcheon (heraldry)]], but on most it doesn’t matter. The only government link seems to be [http://www.dfa.ie/home/index.aspx?id=78084 here] (the Irish embassy in Argentina of all places!) and that shows the same shape. Unless it is evidence of a specific shape, then usually the creator of the image has free reign.

As for the black line, I really don’t think it matters. Unless it is defined in the [[blazon]] (formal description) of the arms, it is the opinion of the once again the graphic's creator as to whether to add a boarder or not.

The representation of a coat of arms is really up to interpretation of the blazon, for example all of these show three yellow lions on a red field (the arms of England), but all do it differently.

Therefore it is probably best to stick to the ''status quo''. By the way, apologies for the lesson. You asked for someone with knowledge, but I can get rather longwinded on the subject!-[[User:Martin23230|'''<font face="Century Gothic" size="3">23230'''</font>]] ^{[[User talk:Martin23230|<font face="Century Gothic">talk</font>]]} 17:56, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
