'''Graphist opinion:''' Here you are. I just changed the colours a bit. What do you think? --[[User:Ahnode|Ahnode]] ([[User talk:Ahnode|talk]]) 14:33, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

:It's great. Thanks! I can change the colors if needed but I don't think it's necessary. --[[User:Chech Explorer|Chech Explorer]] ([[User talk:Chech Explorer|talk]]) 18:01, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

I would like a "speedy keep" icon for voting based on [[:Image:Symbol speedy vote.svg|this image]] but replacing the delete icon with the keep icon--[[User:Ipatrol|Ipatrol]] ([[User talk:Ipatrol|talk]]) 20:14, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

*'''Graphist Opinion''': How's the above? I wasn't sure if you wanted to GA symbol or the checkmark, so I went with the keep symbol that's in the same boat as the delete symbol used. <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Stepshep|§hep]]</font> • <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User talk:Stepshep|¡Talk to me!]]</font> 21:34, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

*'''Graphist Opinion''': We must have been working on that at eactly the same time, and have used exactly the same derivative files. Mine looks a little more zoomy though ;) [[User:Mfield|Mfield]] ([[User talk:Mfield|talk]]) 21:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

*That's different. I beat ya by 36 minutes! :P Now watch, I bet Ipatrol wanted the green symbol...(That'd make my day) <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Stepshep|§hep]]</font> • <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User talk:Stepshep|¡Talk to me!]]</font> 21:52, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

:*Tell you what then, I'll change mine to green to keep options open ;) Some renaming of both to include colors would probably be a good plan too, as all that distinguishes them is .SVG instead of .svg [[User:Mfield|Mfield]] ([[User talk:Mfield|talk]]) 22:00, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

::*Now that's some interesting color mixing! I was talking about [[:Image:Symbol support vote.svg|Symbol support vote.svg]], which I see used as a keep symbol every now and again. <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Stepshep|§hep]]</font> • <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User talk:Stepshep|¡Talk to me!]]</font> 22:06, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

:::*Ah, fixed that. I will refrain from changing it to the other type until we get further comment from Ipatrol. [[User:Mfield|Mfield]] ([[User talk:Mfield|talk]]) 22:22, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry shep, blue for me. you can db the green one as I see no need. snowball on non-deletion discussions can used the "cancelled process" image. The keep is blue because "support" might mean delete.--[[User:Ipatrol|Ipatrol]] ([[User talk:Ipatrol|talk]]) 18:48, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

P.S. please move the blue one to a lowercase svg for ease of use (very few have an uppercase extension)--[[User:Ipatrol|Ipatrol]] ([[User talk:Ipatrol|talk]]) 18:53, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

:Sorry? I won! YAY <tt>:P</tt> I'll move the image right now. <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Stepshep|§hep]]</font> • <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User talk:Stepshep|¡Talk to me!]]</font> 05:44, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

'''Article(s):''' [[Early left anterior negativity]]

'''Request:''' Make the lines sharper and do whatever you feel will improve the image. The clear background thing might be good. Enlarging it without changing the proportions might be good as well. The image may be used on the Main Page if cleaned up. See [[Template_talk:Did_you_know#Early left anterior negativity|DYK nom]]. -- [[User:Suntag|Suntag]] [[User talk:Suntag|<b><big><font color="#FF8C00">☼</font></big></b>]] 18:30, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

*Specifically, enlarging the peak labels (N1, P2, etc.) would help it show up better at 100x100px resolution. &mdash;[[User:Politizer|Politizer]]&nbsp;<small>^{'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''}</small>/<small>_{'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''}</small> 19:14, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:''' It may be <s>easier</s> better just to redo the image. If you can give me some of the data points, I can remake the chart and it will be an SVG. I'm going to try without any information and see what I can do. By the way, the DYK is really cool! [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 15:32, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

::*Unfortunately, I don't have the data; it's not my graph, it's just something I found on commons (originally from wikibooks), and there's no information saying what it's a graph of or anything. Do the data points have to be exact, or can you estimate things? (Sorry, I'm not super familiar with how vectorization works.) &mdash;[[User:Politizer|Politizer]]&nbsp;<small>^{'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''}</small>/<small>_{'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''}</small> 15:43, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

:::*How's this ([[:File:ComponentsofERP.svg]])? I just traced it instead of making a new graph. I can make any line/data/point/other stuff changes that you'd like. [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 16:20, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

::::*Looks great. I think the title "The components of event related potentials" should be removed since it can always be explained in the image caption. -- [[User:Suntag|Suntag]] [[User talk:Suntag|<b><big><font color="#FF8C00">☼</font></big></b>]] 16:28, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

:::::*Done. Do you want to replace all the instances of the original GIF with the new SVG or do you want me to do it? [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 16:39, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

::::::*Thanks. Go ahead and replace them. It's Politizer image, but I think it seems finished. -- [[User:Suntag|Suntag]] [[User talk:Suntag|<b><big><font color="#FF8C00">☼</font></big></b>]] 16:46, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

::::::* (ec) That looks great; I've gone through and replaced all the original GIFs. Is it possible to enlarge the labels (N1, etc.) so that they're readable at 100px? (If not&mdash;ie, if 100px is just way too small anyway&mdash;then it's not a huge deal). Thanks! &mdash;[[User:Politizer|Politizer]]&nbsp;<small>^{'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''}</small>/<small>_{'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''}</small> 16:47, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

:::::::*Oh, I just noticed an error... the new label says "miliseconds" instead of "milliseconds"...can that be corrected without too much work? Sorry to bother you again, &mdash;[[User:Politizer|Politizer]]&nbsp;<small>^{'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''}</small>/<small>_{'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''}</small> 16:49, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

:*Whoops, sorry, I didn't even see your comment when I pushed the Save page button. I need some coffee... I'll change the size and correct my silly spelling error in just a few minutes. I know this image is all over wikispace (WikiBooks, Commons, and the 'pedia too) so can you replace/redirect/link those images to this new one? Or do I need to upload it to all of those different spaces? I can edit the images but I'm not super-great at getting them where they need to be. Thanks! [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 16:52, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

::*I should be able to do that...I don't use commons or wikibooks a whole lot, but I have an integrated account or whatever, and I assume "what links here" works the same everywhere. I've already done the replacements at Wikipedia, at least. When you change the size and spelling, that will be reflected in the same image, right&mdash;I won't need to change the links that I've already changed? &mdash;[[User:Politizer|Politizer]]&nbsp;<small>^{'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''}</small>/<small>_{'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''}</small> 16:55, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

:::*Yep, the changes I've just made should be reflected globally over Wikipedia. However, you may need to upload again to wikibooks and commons if you uploaded before I made the changes. I'm not exactly sure about the second part, but I know Wikipedia will be OK. [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 16:58, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

::::*Ok. I think probably the easiest thing is for me to wait until after you've finished making the changes, and then after that I can upload it to commons and speedy delete the one here; once it's at commons I think it should be usable everywhere. &mdash;[[User:Politizer|Politizer]]&nbsp;<small>^{'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''}</small>/<small>_{'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''}</small> 17:02, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

:::::* '''Don't speedy delete!''' It's important to have the image trail so we can see where every image on Wikipedia came from to preserve the GNU license. The changes are done, by the way, and I've added a comment on the DYK talk page letting others know that too. [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 17:04, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

::::::*Oh, ok! Phew. Normally once I move an image to commons then I'm told to delete the one at WP...so does that mean I shouldn't take this one to Commons, or is there some sort of special tag that can say "yes there's a duplicate of this on Commons, but we need to keep this one here as well")? Maybe I should ask the copyright/licensing people? (by the way, the new version of the image looks great; thanks again!) &mdash;[[User:Politizer|Politizer]]&nbsp;<small>^{'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''}</small>/<small>_{'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''}</small> 17:13, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

:::::::*Yeah, I'd ask someone else who knows a little more. Maybe I'm wrong. I think this is a special case: we have it originally from Wikibooks and then it was transferred to the Commons, and then to Wikipedia, and then back to Commons... Why don't you post something on the Admin's noticeboard? [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 18:22, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

::::::::*I asked at AN, they said it can't be moved; so I just put a link on the commons page to this one, under {{para|other versions}}. I think that about covers it... thanks for all your help! &mdash;[[User:Politizer|Politizer]]&nbsp;<small>^{'''[[User talk:Politizer|talk]]'''}</small>/<small>_{'''[[Special:Contributions/Politizer|contribs]]'''}</small> 19:33, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

'''Article(s):''' [[Robert M. La Follette, Sr.]]

'''Request:''' A really weak image, this could really benefit from being strengthened in some way or another. Is there any way that the signature itself could be made stronger and a higher contrast with the background? [[User:Nyttend|Nyttend]] ([[User talk:Nyttend|talk]]) 15:48, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:''' I changed the brightness and contrast, and replaced the original file. Feel free to revert if it's not a step in the right direction. [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 16:36, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

:Definitely doesn't hurt :-) Changing the brightness and the contrast helps: the point was to make the signature stand out more from the paper, which it does better now. Thanks! [[User:Nyttend|Nyttend]] ([[User talk:Nyttend|talk]]) 19:06, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

::One more thing, though: you can see the last few letters of a typed word in the top left corner. Could those please be removed? [[User:Nyttend|Nyttend]] ([[User talk:Nyttend|talk]]) 19:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

::: Absolutely. How is the new version? [[User:Mononomic|Mononomic]] ([[User talk:Mononomic|talk]]) 19:15, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
