Sorry for this late reply, but could you remove the clear edge around the flag, it makes boxing the flag look strange. --[[User:SelfQ|SelfQ]] ([[User talk:SelfQ|talk]]) 13:12, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

'''Article(s):'''[[Somerset Towers]] & [[A Tour of Somerset Towers]]

'''Request:''' The article [[A Tour of Somerset Towers]] has been split from [[Somerset Towers]] as the page was too long. It contains approx 50 images of different church towers illustrating the architecture of the towers. The current challenge is to select the "best" to go onto the [[Somerset Towers]] article. I'm not photography expert (as will be seen from some of my pics on there) & help with choosing the best (and deleting the worst) would be helpful. In addition many of the photos are dark or have slight angles - any help with improving them would be great.&mdash; [[User:Rodw|Rod]] ^{[[User talk:Rodw|talk]]} 13:15, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:'''

Have started improving several of the images by correcting perspective, channels, lighting and colour-correction etc will continue editing others.[[User:Tango22|Tango22]] ([[User talk:Tango22|talk]]) 23:25, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

:Think something had got messed up in the aspect ratio where the image got forced from 399x306px to 200x200px. The quick fix is to wash it through Inkscape. I.e. open the file in inkscape and copy everything into a new file with the same size (which I did). The nicer solution is to remove the offending bit of code, this however normally requires a few tries since mediaWiki seems to render everything in it's own unique way.

:Even if the svg has a larger filesize I'd still say it's preferable since it's easily translated and updated, but then that's just me./[[:User:Lokal Profil|Lokal]][[Special:Contributions/Lokal Profil|_]][[:User talk:Lokal Profil|Profil]] 15:13, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

'''Graphist opinion:'''

On it. /[[:User:Lokal Profil|Lokal]][[Special:Contributions/Lokal Profil|_]][[:User talk:Lokal Profil|Profil]] 00:50, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

:Made the basics. Will have to face the horrors of text rendering badly tomorrow. /[[:User:Lokal Profil|Lokal]][[Special:Contributions/Lokal Profil|_]][[:User talk:Lokal Profil|Profil]] 01:44, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

::Sorry, that became slightly more then a day. Anyhow a second couple of eyes catching any spelling errors is (as always) much appreciated. Apart from that I thin this is done. /[[:User:Lokal Profil|Lokal]][[Special:Contributions/Lokal Profil|_]][[:User talk:Lokal Profil|Profil]] 00:25, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Graphic Lab's Tutorials, for wiki graphists !

;Request

Hello,

[[Image:China, 742.svg|right|200px|thumb|Kind of map'''s''' doable after the tutorial teaching, except the background to import.]]

[[Image:Battle Trebia-fr.svg|right|200px|thumb|idem.]]

[[Image:Pyrenees_map_shaded_relief-fr.svg|right|200px|thumb|With lot of time, Except countries shape and relief shade need to be imported.]]

I worked 30 hours this 2 last weeks to create -in English- a really complete 15 pages long '''Tutorial:Cartography (basic).svg'''. This tutorial aim to take a perfect newbee in both Inkscape and map making, and teach him/her in 15 pages and one hour of explanations and exercices '''all what he need to know''' to make respectable, nice, and reliable wikimaps. This was made according to all I learnt on the French Map lab.

<br />Despite I'm French, I wrote it in English since 8 wikipedians out of 10 can understand basic English, while only 1 out of 10 for basic French. Also, '''this Tutorial need first a big copyedit'''. Afterwhat: your advices are really encouraged ! (dowload and read the SVG version to test it)

So (please !), '''one volunter to copyedit this long svg''' (probably 2 hours of work, . (one only, or the second after the first).

* '''Need:''' one volunter ;

* '''For :''' a 2 hours copyedit (+ or -1h) ;

* '''Tool need :''' Inkscape, correct English

* '''File to copyedit'''(11 sections): '''[[:Image:Tutorial-cartography (basic)-2.svg]]''' to download and open in Inkscape.

* '''Note :''' some indications are in the SVG ; the file have 11 sections (you can copyedit just 2: each help is welcome) ; 3 are missing and will be add later.

I will not work on this tutorial this week allowing the volunter to work as much as he want.

'''Graphist opinion:'''<br .>

Note: There is a big display bug (ImageMagic don't understand the FlowRoot fonction), and [[:fr:Wikipedia:Atelier_graphique/FAQ_SVG#Un_carr.C3.A9_noir_est_visible_sur_l.27image|according to the French SVG FAQ: there is no easy wait to fix this]]. This bug disallow the display of the '''SVG''' on wikipedia, but you can still dowload it and copyedit on it.

:I'll do a bit. [[User:Vladsinger | vlad<b>§</b>inger]] [[User talk:Vladsinger | ^tlk ]] 01:59, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

::Okay, that's it down to the sources section. I am doing some rewriting as well as fixing language issues to make sure the intent of the text is as clear as possible. Also fixing layout issues. Onwards! [[User:Vladsinger | vlad<b>§</b>inger]] [[User talk:Vladsinger | ^tlk ]] 02:53, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

:::...And, that's it for now. It's 1AM here and I'm off to bed. I went through every section, moved stuff around (though I may have neglected to add notes saying so). Somebody else is free to scan it again and fix anything I missed. Of course, I wasn't able to edit the parts that aren't written. I'm impressed with this - must have taken a while considering it took me ~2.5 hrs just to tweak. [[User:Vladsinger | vlad<b>§</b>inger]] [[User talk:Vladsinger | ^tlk ]] 05:07, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

A big thanks for your tweak on Tutorial-cartography_(basic).svg , I think the final version will help map creation and wikicartographers' beginning greatly. After my big effort to create this tuto, a big thanks to you for this correction, I quickly overviewed it : that's really better ! I also appreciated when I seen you display good initiative by changing many sentences and '''expanding''' some explanations with your knowledge. This was completly my aim : make a wiki-SVG-tutorial, first started by one big effort, then improve by every cartographers when better explanations are possible, exactly like a wiki page ^-^y . For all this : a big thanks to you.

As I said, I will let other cartographer read it and expand it if they want. I will probably create the missing sections separately on my PC, then, in one or 2 weeks, I will include them and make some structural update (change some sections' order). I hope the version 1.0 (complete and corrected) will be available for August 2008 :]

;Note on next steps

* '''Copyedit = {{Done}}''' ; I mark the request as "Resolved" to avoid waste of time of other graphists.

* '''3 missing sections''' = to do in the 2 next weeks, with little reorganisation (sections' order), and rewriting of the bolean section (cf Inkscape 0.46 new tools).

* '''last copyedit''': will then need a small copy edit.

* '''Final release and review''': August 2008, graphists will be welcome to keep this tutorial as best and as up to date as possible.
