Article(s): Guiana Space Centre

Request: Is it possible to make this graphics into the English language. Thanks. Hektor (talk) 10:49, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: I've added the Template:Translation possible template to the Commons image page - if you know the English translations of the words, you can get the toolserver to translate them automatically into a new SVG that's labeled appropriately, see the template page for more on how it works. If you want, post the English translations here first so we can check that they make sense - small grammar changes and so on. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 14:06, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

English version now exists here, but the English isn't perfect - Soyouz should be Soyuz, several words (e.g. montagne (mountain), top right) remain untranslated, and the text alignment seems to be weird - tilted. Maybe we need someone to tweak this manually. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 18:29, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

SVG problem

    Maps template in Russian

Request: I've translated French version of this file, into Russian, so that our Graphic Lab could use it too. French file is only 214 kb, and this one turned out to be 1mb. Also there are severe problems with fonts and Russian letters. I've tried several times to save the new svg in different way (save with all glyphs for example), but the only thing it did was make it even bigger and worse. Could someone try fixing the fonts problem and the size of the file? Also please explain how did you do it. (I use Illustrator) --Ahnode (talk) 15:05, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

I'm afraid I can't tell what is wrong with your file, except for the size. I use Inkscape, but I have a few ideas. If you have problems with your fonts, Inkscape has a "Path->Convert Objects to Path" command that allows SVG to render 'non-standard' fonts. It may be that Cyrillic (excuse me if I spelled it wrong), or your specific font is one of the non-standard ones. You could try another font. If Illustrator is converting all the fonts to SVG path objects automatically, that would explain the size difference. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but I hope that at least explains the mystery. Dhatfield (talk) 03:27, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does this -ru version use DejaVu (Sans or Serif) Condensed font ? The French graphist have recently discovert that this font work fine, while many other don't. Yug (talk) 20:04, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I opened your file in Inkscape, and cleaned up the def (Inkscape > File > Vaccum defs), which often enlight the file size, but this had no effects.
I copied the SVG content into a new page, then I got a 440Ko file (3time smaller), but not yet a 250Ko one, as espected.
So I guess there are 2 troubles:
1. Illustrator make the files heavier (1300Ko -> 440Ko);
2. other thing make the file still 200ko too big, what ? have you a clue ?
3. You have a well know font bug, French use the DejaVu (Sans or Serif) Condensed font to avoid this bug.
Re-do the translation, starting from the French file, and using Inkscape is probably the quickess way to success. Yug (talk) 20:23, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tokamak scheme

  Stale
 – DyceBot (talk) 07:03, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A relatively straightforward, but a very useful addition (IMO) would be an SVG scheme of a tokamak device. It could be based on one of the existing pictures...

  •  
    ... such as this one, only labeled

The reason that I'm requesting this is that I've been cleaning inadequately labeled images on :sl Wikipedia and noticed this one. It's very informative, so I'd like to replace it in the article instead of just deleting. I can provide translation of the labels if necessary.

Article(s): Tokamak

Request: Make a SVG version. I made the same request at Commons, but there hasn't been any response yet. Yerpo (talk) 13:05, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Please make SVGs of these Army flags, which are all very similar in design. I linked to the Seal of the USA which is the hardest part, and is already an SVG. Correct shade of red can be taken from the flag(s) hosted on the Army's website: [1], [2], or [3]. - Gump Stump (talk) 16:49, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Did the best I can, however the dimension for the Vice Chief is somehow different, If exact info is given I will make it more accurate but here goes!:

PS the dimension of the CofS and the Sec, I did a round up of the US Presidential flag. Sodacan (talk) 07:16, 28 April, 2009 (UTC)

  •  
    Army Chief of Staff flag
  •  
    Army Vice Chief of Staff flag (not quite sure about the dimension, help would be appreciated)
  •  
    Secretary of the Army flag
Those look very good. Although I can't find exact dimensions, it seems to me that the stars on the VCoS flag should be smaller, making the flag less crowded; in the images on the Army website I linked to (although they are tiny, I think I would trust them since the images are made and hosted by the Army) the stars appear about the same size as the round crest above the eagle's head. I also found this webpage which has a few more larger examples, if that helps with any of these. Thanks! - Gump Stump (talk) 16:02, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've made the stars smaller. The links you gave (I went through them too quickly), have all the flags at the same dimensions, do you think I you change the VCofS to correspond with the other two? it is the US Army website after all. Sodacan (talk) 17:45, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I think I would make them the same dimensions; it is their website, I assume they know what they're doing. Thanks again. - Gump Stump (talk) 18:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request: The Christian cinema task force of WP:FILM looks set to be created in the next few days or so, and it needs an appropriate icon for the {{Film}} project banner. What I need is an icon similar to those in commons:Category:Nuvola-based clapperboard icons using the clapperboard image on the left. I'm not sure which of the Christian icons would look best, so if it's not too much trouble could I request all three? Bear in mind that the icon will typically be seen at 30x30px. Thanks in advance!

    Proper SVG by ZooFari

Request: SVGify, change to black, and reduce unnecessary whitespace. 76.117.247.55 (talk) 16:48, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion: Comment - We may want to get someone from WP:CHEM involved. SVG should follow the format shown at Mercury-fulminate.png and Grubbs Catalyst 1st Generation.svg. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 17:18, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Might be worth SVGifiying mercury fulminate as well. This one, however, is simple enough that it should be easy (However the blue color can probably be changed to the more correct black). 76.117.247.55 (talk) 17:05, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have made it svg! hehe. --Goldblattster (talk) 16:38, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You've done a trace bitmap, which isn't needed for something as simple as this. Three letters in an arial-type font plus a straight line would have taken less time. gringer (talk) 00:41, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Could you rectify it then? 76.117.247.55 (talk) 01:08, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
@76.117.247.55 Rectify??? What does that mean?! @Gringer I know it is a trace bitmap, and I could have taken an easier route, but oh well. Done is done. --Goldblattster (talk) 02:06, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
First, if you are going to participate, do things right. It is obvious that your SVG is traced, and the nodes are incorrectly placed. Don't deny it as "Done is done". Also, the license is simply ridiculous by the fact that it is GFDL when it should be Public ___domain for ineligibility. And next time, upload at commons. For the requester: I made the clean SVG version. ZooFari 19:47, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ejly, you've loaded up a version which is basically just a LoC thumbnail created for cataloging purposes. However, here [4] is a much higher resolution version of the photograph. (Also, here is a 20+MB version [5].) Can I suggest you load the first version up (ie [6]) and then see if it suits your purposes. You can then come back here and ask us if you need any more help. Also, can I suggest you load the file up onto wiki commons, it is quite easy to do and to create an account there. Regards. --Goldsztajn (talk) 07:03, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Response Thank you for your cordial reply. I uploaded a new image as directed to wikicommons [7] and also note there is a higher res TIFF [8] available but it will not display for me. I think it would work well if cropped to focus on the subject of the article, Ralph Lyford. Again, thanks for your assistance. ejly (talk) 00:38, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Great, thanks for doing the upload, I've placed the new image in the gallery above. I've then created a separate file for a headshot. I've also cropped the original photo and done some minor cleaning. The text on the photo indicates the woman in the photo is his wife, you may want to use the entire photo for the article rather than use the headshot...to me, it's actually a quite subtle and interesting photo of the couple and a nicer illustration. A good find.--Goldsztajn (talk) 01:47, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request: SVG please--SelfQ (talk) 16:30, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:I will do this! (not bitmap-traced, ok?). The only problem is that the cis flag and the cis emblem each have different color ball things. I will use the the color of the flag ball, since that is what I was instructed to do. :-)

The flag and the emblem have a slightly different "coat of arms". I just used the coat of arms on the flag. The end result is below. I accidentally uploaded it under an incorrect name, and I cannot move pages in commons, so I made File:Emblem of CIS.svg a commons redirect page.--Goldblattster (talk) 19:58, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you use the more goldish yellow like in the emblem? (The source on the emblem is directly from the CIS website, the flag doesnt have a direct source so I think the more goldish yellow colour is the correct colour.) Also when you have made the correction, could you upload under the new name and tag the misspelled one for deletion? Thanks--SelfQ (talk) 20:12, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
