    Golden Dragon

Request: Redraw as SVG. Plus create a new SVG file by changing the colour of the dragon from gold to black and the colour of the flag border from gold to black too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.18.71.45 (talk) 11:11, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We need more specific instructions. Do you want a solid Black Dragon (which means recolouring, and maybe changing borders etc. to a light grey/white so they are still visible, or just a monochrome (black and white) version of the colour file? Sorry if that sounds obtuse, but I'm not sure what you're trying to do here. Begoon talk 15:38, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Recolouring only the golden parts of the dragon as black as well as recolouring the borders on the dragon to light grey/white so they are still visible,etc. I also want the gold line going around the border of the flag changed to black too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.18.71.45 (talk)

Graphist opinion(s):I'm happy to create these SVGs for you, once you clarify the requirements for the "black" version. Begoon talk 02:51, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok - thanks for the clarification - I'll look at these today or tomorrow for you Begoon talk 00:08, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): John Edward Bush, Kekūanāoa, Henry E. Cooper, William Luther Moehonua, Kekāuluohi, Kalanimoku, Don Francisco de Paula Marín, Boki (Hawaiian chief)

Request: Please clean up these images and remove any extra letterings not part of the signature. Then vectorize these signatures and name them the same name with svg on the end. KAVEBEAR (talk) 18:52, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Boki done. Quite a number of the others are of rather low resolution, though. Do you know of any higher resolution copies? Martinor (talk) 03:57, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No I don't have any. Could you do Henry Cooper's signature, clean the original and vectorize it?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:49, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've made an attempt at it (see gallery). The source file did not have sufficient resolution (effective signature ~40x60px), and much of the signature is obscured by similar colored noise. The result is poor, and most damningly, many aspects of it was my interpretation. While it is now "clean" and "resolution independent", it is very much my drawing and is removed from a signature of HC. I recommend against using this in Wikipedia.
Well If you don't think it should be used, could you delete it then? Sorry for the bother.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 07:42, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As to the rest of the requests, much of it is of a similar nature, where the information content is simply too low to have anything done with it. This takes place either in large file size but very poor quality/blurry/grainy scans, or very small images. The requests were outstanding for several months because they are almost impossible to do well. Jon C (talk) 06:04, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Really? How about the signatures for Kekauluohi, Keoni Kiwini, and Boaz Mahune? They are really high resolutions.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 07:37, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
They're larger files, but I personally consider them low quality scans where lines fade in and out. Others might bite... Jon C (talk) 18:34, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): All these would be much easier (and accurate) to do with the raw data available. Do you know the source? Jon C (talk) 09:13, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I don't. If I knew where to get that, I probubly wouldn't have to bother you guys with this. The source of the graphs is heavens-above.com. --U5K0'sTalkMake WikiLove not WikiWar 15:29, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The screengrabs from heavens-above we can use without distraction caused by copyright. Chris Peat, the owner of the copyright (and website) has given me written permission to 'use any material' from his site, such as the images such as the images I added to the Heavens-Above article and I reasonably expect he would respond positively if any clarification is required. I have written asking him in regards to the raw data, and await his response. Penyulap talk 05:48, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

no response from Chris Peat as yet. I'd suggest going ahead with it is a good idea, if there is interest. Penyulap talk 04:25, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Still no response from Chris Penyulap talk 15:52, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Response from Chris Chris says the chart of the ISS height comes from his database of historical orbital elements. When he downloads a new set of elements from the Spacetrack web site, the old ones are archived, not discarded. He suggests you can also request historical data from the Spacetrack site directly. Penyulap talk 04:21, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've requested an account with Spacetrack. I'll report back if my application goes through. Jon C (talk) 06:21, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Data: So I've acquired an account on Spacetrack, and queried for ISS (1998-067A; cat# 25544). It spits (large volumes of) raw data, which I suppose someone could write code to parse --- but nowhere in that data do I see altitude. Is it referred to by another name? Jon C (talk) 12:13, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unsure. It's true that there would be tons of data there and that's something I would expect that they would track. The Haz talk 02:25, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If anyone wants to look at what the satellite data contains, the data format is shown on this page. Jon C (talk) 09:09, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Orbit data is described in Orbital elements. Basically, the ellips is described in some six parameters. -DePiep (talk) 13:54, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This website appears to take the TLE data, and calculate the satellite's altitude based on it. I don't know how easy this calculation is; probably mean anomaly and mean motion are all you need for a good approximation (both of which are given in the data).. but I'm not sure. Mlm42 (talk) 17:18, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Working backwards through that javascript source, the height is in position 40 of the output array, namely the calculated orbit radius (relative to the centre of the earth) minus the equatorial radius of the Earth. The orbit radius is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle described by X0 and Y0 components of the perifocal coordinate system. X0 is calculated as semimajor axis * cos(E) - eccentricity. Y0 is calculated as semimajor axis * sqrt(1 - eccentricity^2) * sin(E).... Things get a little more complicated from here for this time of the night, I might pick it up again later. gringer (talk) 01:14, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): List of active separatist movements in Europe

Request: Colour Yorkshire in a different colour, as it also has an independence movement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.50.194.2 (talk)

Graphist opinion(s):

Is there consensus in the article talk page (or elsewhere) that colouring Yorkshire (rather than perhaps anywhere else too? Wessex? Ulster? or nowhere else?) is best for the purposes of the article? Begoon talk 12:16, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I just want Yorkshire to be coloured in, not Wessex or Ulster. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.50.194.2 (talk)

Just adding an additional note that the filename is incorrectly spelt. It should probably be moved to File:Map of separatist movements in UK.svg, or maybe File:Map of separatist movements in the UK.svg, if it is to be used. I fixed the same spelling error in the article for you, here: [1] Thanks. Begoon talk 12:21, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • If the map is to be of any use, it needs to show all the separatist areas in the British Isles, and replace the current misspelled entry. It would then fit with the Spanish and French maps in the article. Are you guys able to do that based on the info in the article, or do you need some data as to where Wessex and Yorkshire are? Elen of the Roads (talk) 14:47, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, the above was more musing than a request. If I were asking, I'd ask over at the map page. Elen of the Roads (talk) 16:52, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'm musing too, really. I'm not even sure it adds much to that list article as it is. I've removed it from the article and started a talk page discussion. It's not much use as it is, and it needs a much clearer plan before it gets requested anywhere. Begoon talk 17:00, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Does vectorise not conflict with their non-free status? Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 14:53, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not in a usual case like this, I think. Somewhere in the past I had a bunch of vectorized logos placed on deletion log, and they were kept after some discussion (and citing of policies). If anyone have a proper WikiPolicy for this, I'll setup a "relevant policy" page for graphists in my user space, so we can keep all these in close reference.
