I don't have the fonts to do the second one, but I know (through WhatTheFont) that the main words are Roncial Ultra and that the top words ("SAHARA") are some kind of street sign font (Interstate, maybe?) Sn1per (talk) 15:03, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Request: Vectorize. I know the Graphics Lab does not like to do Scout emblems, but these are from developing countries that may never have a website, just for the quality of the Wikipedia, please improve these. I have only picked the 20 most dire need. Thanks.. Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 11:08, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much, they're great! Please don't add "Logo of the ..." to the name-according to Scouting WP MoS, we just name them after the parent article as the primary image. --Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 13:47, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The enveloping on the MADAGASIKARA word is pretty bad, since I couldn't get Skencil to work and Inkscape has no vertical-skew-text-on-path kind of thing. Could someone fix that, and make the bold letters one the side better? Thanks. --Sn1per (talk) 16:52, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I finally got the converter to work. I'll color the map now. Do you want the whole map of just the southern part, and do you want numbers in the map (like this region is 1 and in the caption it says 1 is this region) or do you want the names of the regions in the map? --Sn1per (talk) 17:26, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a complete list of where each Ahupua'a is? 'cause the converter didn't include what each region was, and the gif only has the bottom part. --Sn1per (talk) 18:23, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What data or converter are you talking about? I found these really low resolution ones [4] and [5]. If you can't read them just create the south. Also can you address the new request I have down at the bottom.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:12, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't undertstand either of those things. Honestly don't put too much work into this. My original request was just to turn the background transparent. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 01:20, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done, but Commons is messing up. When I upload the correct version, it renders the old version. Then, I try again, and it still doesn't work. But the older copy I uploaded works right. I rv to that copy, but then it shows up wrong again. Weird... --Sn1per (talk) 23:33, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean? The new flag has been reuploaded over the old one. It's just that I forgot to refresh my browser. Do you mean that you want the new flag as an alt or something? --Sn1per (talk) 17:20, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Request: Please can someone replace the cross from Serbian Cross flag with the one from Byzantine flag, and keep it in yellow color?... Drax90 (talk) 10:12, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Article(s): Category:User-created public domain images from May 2004 - The graphics are all ancient (still useful) relics from this category.
Request: Is it possible for someone to convert these old files to vector images? I'd like to ship them out to Commons in order to kill this old category (May 2004, honestly), but I feel that it would be better to put them in a vector format first. ♠PMC♠ (talk)21:13, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Request: If anybody here is good with fonts and text, I would really appreciate help in correcting the inscriptions of these two seals. Their sources are 1 and 2. A buddy was able to do an attempt at the font on the Senate Seal with trace-work, but if anybody knows the real font (or a very close cousin perhaps?) used, that would be brilliant. The Governor's seal, my buddy believes is some sort of Times New Roman, but when you enlarge the image, it looks similar to the font used on the Senate Seal. Fry1989eh?20:51, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I knew you were going to say that, heheheh. Unfortunately the font I found doesn't have a bold variant. I can keep looking for another one, but it took me ages to find that one! --The Pink Oboe (talk) 08:07, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This one better? I'm still working on the other one. They aren't the same font, but what is causing problems identifying it is that damn bevel on the plaque in the photo. I've narrowed it down to about 3 or 4 fonts that are similar. When I get a chance I'll do some tests to see which looks best on the screen. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 14:38, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes much, thank you for humouring a perfectionist/nut ;). Take your time on the Governor's one, there's no rush. I'm just grateful the request has been taken. Fry1989eh?20:15, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Pink Oboe, if you're still having trouble figuring out the font for the Governor, I wouldn't be opposed to you using either of the two you used for the Senate. Both look very similar to the image. Fry1989eh?04:22, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Request: Can someone please put the star from sfry flag to replace the star on PR Bosnia and Herzegovina?... Drax90 (talk) 18:08, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Request: Can an image map be made on the drawing room photo, so that a click on the painting in the dr photo leads directly to the image of the painting? To be placed in the Lady Lilith article - so the link to the Lady Lilith image is not really needed. Smallbones (talk) 18:58, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Request: Could someone please create a map of the mokus or districts of Maui shown in the first image similiar to the second image with numbers but replacinig the dotted lines with more solid lines and taking out the Haleakalā National Park region and the names? Please properly labeled them as ancient or traditional divisions of the mokus because these districts no longer exist in the same form. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:12, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Also there is also the modern districts of Maui County shown here. But I'm not sure if it's up to date since I've seen different version that split Makawao into North and South Makawao instead.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:12, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
On top of that could you actually number them rather than leave the names, so it resembles the Hawaii island map and create other maps highlighting each district with a map of the island chain in the corner like the third image.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 18:04, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have an Excel spreadsheet of the data (see article, it is just the years adopted from that list). Can give it to you textually (see below). I could not get the Excel program to make a proper area chart for some reason. When I selected "area chart", it would treat the years as independent values (not part of a time domain) and my X axis would get messed up. BTW, it also smoothed the line (which I did not want, prefer the truth showing steps).
The reason for preferring an area chart is that (a) we are showing progression to all 50, so area shows amount better. (b) it is more visually striking.
Please keep "50" as the maximum on the graph. (intuitive maximum!)
P.s. If you want to make it 1960 to 2010, that is fine. I like "wide" aspect images since they are easier to text wrap around...TCO (talk) 16:49, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi TCO - does this satisfy the requirements? (If it does, please substitute in article, and mark this entry as resolved. Thanks!) (If not, let me know and I'll make necessary amendments) On that note - this is a completely hand-drawn graph, so if you want to incorporate additional info (e.g., landmarks in state-reptile adoption or some such, we can arrange to have them marked up on the chart as well.) Jon C (talk) 06:50, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Now we're talking! And muchos gracias for the hand draw. This is just the sort of thing I was looking for. Could you please make the following tweaks just for prettiness?
Extend the "amount" of state reptiles all the way to the far right (since they endure).
Make the X and Y axis title and number font bigger.
P.s. You don't know anything about drawing chemical process diagrams or gymnastics tricks by any chance? (Always scouting for talentz. ;-)) -TCO
I've updated the graph with the requested amendments. You may need to refresh the browser to see the changes.
I happen to be a chemist... At Wiki Illustration, however, I'm looking to do works that stretch my (artistic) boundaries. What's with the "gymnastics tricks"? Jon C (talk) 16:45, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Request: Please create a Kuhina Nui flag. Thanks. I am really persistent, just saying, and I can wait for months, if no one is going to do any of my requests. KAVEBEAR (talk) 10:15, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It was brought to my attention that this SVG file I generated is "unfree" and will be deleted. If you (OP) have interest in defending its "freeness", please head to this page to deal with it.
Maybe someone savvy with these usage rules should prune the requests periodically to make sure we're not wasting our time on non-legit things. Jon C (talk) 12:46, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Request: Colour Sudan, South Sudan, Algeria, Yemen and Madagascar in red to show that they have applied to join the Commonwalth of Nations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.33.42.67 (talk • contribs) 14:28, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by Fallschirmjäger. 14:28, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
Request: Extract the puzzle piece icon from the logo and upload to Commons, i.e. remove the background graphics and crop. Should be placed in the Commons category Wikipedia puzzle piece icons. Please upload under the same license (CC0). Thanks! Kaldari (talk) 21:27, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Request: Hi folks, I'd be very grateful if someone would please vectorise the diagram, especially if they'd be kind enough to highlight the flow of the fuel and the oxidiser as red and blue pipes, such as in File:Orbiter main propulsion system.svg. Having a decent, clear diagram would make this complex piece of engineering considerably easier to understand! Many thanks in advance, Colds7ream (talk) 13:35, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s): I can do this. However, I can't quite see the similarity between p25/26 of the supporting document, and the image to be vectorized. Jon C (talk) 03:35, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
After spending some time on this image, I should let you know that it'll likely require some of your attention in its correction. I would like to provide some shading to indicate connected volumes (from, say, overlapping valves), but am currently having a hard time distinguishing which volumes are connected (and the roles of some of the lines). Jon C (talk) 05:23, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! Thanks very much for taking a look! :-) I'd of course be happy to provide any help I can, and with regards to the supporting document, should have made it clear that its the 25th page you want, which is actually printed on the document as page 19. Its a colour copy of the diagram with shading indicating fuel flow, if that helps you find it. SalopianJames - previously Colds7ream (talk) 10:54, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh wow. That makes all the difference in the world. I've thoroughly misinterpreted the B&W figure. I'm still not entirely sure what's going on (it's a pretty complex piece of engineering), but I'll spend some time on the bracketing pages, and work something out. What should I do with the differences between the two figures? (p19 has pipes and valves that are missing in B&W schematic.) Jon C (talk) 15:45, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thought it might help! :-D Yeah, it is indeed very complicated - you should see my attempts at explaining it in words! :-S I'd guess that, in case of any differences, you should take the p19 version as correct, as it's from a much more recent document, thus probably more accurately reflects the later models and would have any errors corrected. SalopianJames - previously Colds7ream (talk) 17:42, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! I've done the mindless parts of the vectorization, and included the work-in-progress here. This is entirely based on the B&W version. The trouble with trying to integrate the colored one is that they are conflicting - pipes that lead outside in the B&W, for example, leads to another part in the colored version. The colored version does not have labeling, and in an encyclopaedic work would be less useful than the dated B&W version.
I'm also considering changing the labeling from verbal to numbers, for easier internationalization. (But then, it's a SVG where tools for translation are available, so this may just come down to spacing in the final image.)
Currently I'm hung up on trying to figure out what the colors ought to be, and which are distinct parts for rendering, given that there are flow of H2 and O2 in the color figure, but pipes are everywhere. Ahh, I'm no rocket scientist ;) Jon C (talk) 14:37, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Now that's looking gorgeous! Nicely done! :-) I see what you mean with regards to the differences between the diagrams, in fact the p19 version almost looks like a sealed unit, which is odd... Looking at the dates, it seems I was mistaken, in that both were in fact published in the same year (1998), so I don't really suppose one has priority over the other, although to my eye the B&W one makes more sense from a plumbing point of view. Then again, I'm a biologist, not an engineer, so take that with a pinch of salt! :-) As for colours, I was hoping you could make the LH2 red and the LOX blue, to match with the MPS diagram I mentioned above? Many thanks, SalopianJames - previously Colds7ream (talk) 15:33, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the links - they were helpful in understanding what was going on. I've updated the figure; the overlapping lines are cleaned up, and flow of materials indicated in the appropriate colors. I'm almost ready to call this the final version - unless you noticed something out? And on the note of the flow diagrams, it may be possible to integrate the pressures graphically in the same image, but I haven't put much thoughts to it yet. Jon C (talk) 10:36, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There is supposed to be symmetric gray quasi-triangles in the LPFTP according to the color image. (I don't know what it is.) I've added that in, as well as a legend piece that indicates the combustion zones. I think we're done, so I've marked this entry as resolved -- if not, remove the tag and we'll keep working on it. Jon C (talk) 04:47, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request: I'm back again looking for kind graphic artists willing to turn these images into .svg files so I can get them moved to Commons and nuke the category. Please and so much thank you =) ♠PMC♠ (talk)22:18, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. May be one more coming later (with the cut molecules). But I will hold off until I have rewritten the pharma section.TCO (talk) 05:09, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
