Nasa models to animated gifs


Article(s): A number of nasa and space related article.s.

Request: I'd like someone to create animated gifs of nasa's 3d models at their 3d model gallery and Nasa's other archive gallery. These models would greatly help in illustrating a number of spacecraft and related space articles.Smallman12q (talk) 02:04, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Uhm, sorry about overwriting your version, UKRefugee, that was not my intention, I just happened to finish it right after you did. Anyway, I think my version without indexed colors looks a bit more cleaner. I also added a bit more shadows to it (they might look a bit odd, though). Anyway, revert to UKRefugee's version if you prefer his/her version, Kintetsubuffalo. —Quibik (talk) 21:29, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
Both are great, this is a toughie. Since Wiki is headed toward png, I think that will sway me here. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 13:00, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Brazil needs to be painted

  Resolved

Article(s): Pornography_by_region

Request: Pint Brazil green Gecg (talk) 03:16, 28 January 2010 (UTC) It was already requested in the talk page. You can see it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pornography_by_region#Porno_map_is_having_many_errors.2C_please_correct And it is truth because i live in Brazil, hardcore pornography is widely sold in public places and can be bought and rented in dvd shops. It says that other countries allow too, but i can only speak for my.

Casablanca Conference

  Resolved

Article(s): Casablanca Conference

Request: Hi, would it be possible to restore the quality of this image? Currently it looks very overexposed, and it needs to be darkened to increase the level of detail that can be seen. 84.92.117.93 (talk) 23:52, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): I've had a look at the image, and I don't think it's possible to do what you're asking for, I'm afraid. The information simply isn't there in the image to bring out by reducing the brightness and/or contrast. I'm sorry. -- DMS (talk) 20:59, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Ah ok, pity. Maybe a better version of the image exists somewhere. 84.92.117.93 (talk) 22:19, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
I have uploaded the original from the source given, which is slightly better than what was in Commons. Secondarywaltz (talk) 22:23, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
I reduced the midtone contrast by quite a bit (from Secwaltz'), saves some but brings up other problems. Histogram looks better now. Jpeg editing is no fun anyway.. Martinor (talk) 07:52, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
I edited out the lines of different lightness from the image and further tweaked the histogram a bit. —Quibik (talk) 13:08, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, that's quite an improvement to the image. 84.92.117.93 (talk) 16:28, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Overexposure

  Resolved

Article(s): None currently; planning on a couple if it can be fixed

Request: When I first uploaded this, it was horribly stitched by my photographic software. I brought it here, and someone was able to fix the stitching. Now I would like, if possible, for the overexposure on the right to be fixed (I tried, but I still have the same horrible software; the result is shown above). I can provide the original photos the panorama was created from by email if necessary. Thanks in advance, Ks0stm (TCG) 23:35, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Combine pictures

  Resolved

Article(s): National Treasures of Japan

Request: During the good article candidacy it has been suggested to have a more fancy picture for the lead section than the present. An idea would be to combine several pictures of national treasures of various types. I am not good with image manipulation so I ask the help of an expert here. Pictures can be found in any of the Lists of National Treasures of Japan or in the subcategories of commons:Category:National Treasures of Japan. Maybe four or six pictures could be combined into one mosaic. I leave it up to the graphist to select the pictures. I would suggest taking pictures from different categories. Maybe one each of: temples, castles, paintings, sculptures, writings (or ancient documents) and crafts (crafts-others or crafts-swords) would make a good mix of six pictures. bamse (talk) 14:06, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): Would this do?
 
-- DMS (talk) 15:57, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

It would be better if it could have two horizontal rows and two vertical columns, ie. make it a square instead of a panorama.·Maunus·ƛ· 16:15, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Ah, OK. Sorry - thought you wanted something to go along the top of the article. I'll create another mosaic, square this time. -- DMS (talk) 16:27, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Also it would be great if you could make a map effect so that a mouse over would tell what the different pictures depict.·Maunus·ƛ· 21:01, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Will this image be suitable? If it is, I can do the image map thing. :)

-- DMS (talk) 21:09, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

OK, I've added the image map code to this image, so each bit links to the appropriate original image, with mouseover text saying what each image shows. Is this what you mean? -- DMS (talk) 21:45, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
     
     
Some of the national treasures of Japan

I have nothing against using custom images for this task, but I'd like to suggest an alternative method of generating the mosaic – plain images along with some tables & CSS. (As can be seen on the right.) This should have the advantage of being easier to customize (later). —Quibik (talk) 21:59, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Good point. Well, you now have a choice of different ways of achieving what you want, here, Maunus. :) -- DMS (talk) 05:33, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
I like both, but I think I'll go with the second as any of the images can be switched for another if an editor finds a better image later on. Thanks for helping out with this!·Maunus·ƛ· 06:45, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks a lot! bamse (talk) 10:09, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
