Broe helmet illustration

en:File:Broe helmet.jpg

Article(s): en:Broe helmet

Request
Could somebody please create a free version of this file? It should look similar if possible, but the vertical animal head on the crest should be removed. Please email me for the high-resolution image. Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 04:56, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
  1. Scale: I don't know precisely how big each piece is, so the draft I've created is not accurate at all with respect to scale. I would need to know the length of each red line shown here to get the scale roughly correct.
  2. Arrangement: there might be a better way to lay the pieces out than what I've come up with, especially bearing in mind that it should look good for comparison beside the Vendel XIV helmet. There could also be other additions, like labeling the pieces.
Let me know what you think. Brandt Luke Zorn (talk) 21:51, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's an interesting idea, Brandt Luke Zorn, and there's certainly some value in seeing the images placed side by side; thanks for putting that together. Ultimately, I think that a free image showing a reconstruction would be ideal, as there's only so much fragments can show (this photo is an extreme example). As long as someone is willing and able to put an illustration together—and I always leave here impressed!—then I think the best option is to have a depiction of what the helmet may have looked like when whole. --Usernameunique (talk) 08:17, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): New wiki

Request
I would like to use a logo similar to File:Wikimedia User Group Georgia Logo Black.svg, the only difference is to change the name string to "Wikimedia User Group Nigeria." The new image should be at File:Wikimedia User Group Nigeria Logo Black.svg. Thanks. – Ammarpad (talk) 22:17, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
@Ammarpad: Should it be really be "Wikimedia User Group Nigeria." (small letters and a dot?) or did you mean "Wikimedia User Group NIGERIA"?  — Johannes Kalliauer - Talk | Contributions 07:43, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@JoKalliauer: Yes, it should be capitalized just as you did. But one minor thing is to remove the word "Community" as it's not necessary. – Ammarpad (talk) 07:54, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Pinga again @JoKalliauer: Are you still able to fix this image for us? Thanks. – Ammarpad (talk) 15:51, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Catholic Church in Georgia


Article(s): en:Catholic Church in Georgia

Request
Overall improvement, as much as you might be interested and able to do.
Hello. I recently was able to draw this CoA of Catholic Church in Georgia, but my drawing skills are very basic, and the image in general is much inferior to the original (Specially the knot on the Cross - according to the legend, it was knotted not with a rope, but with hair - and I subsequently failed to make it look like hair). Second problem is the ribbon and the inscription on it. I will be really grateful if there is anyone who might be interested. --Melberg (talk) 20:22, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Logo of the Ta-Ching Government Bank

Article(s): en:Ta-Ching Government Bank, fr:Banque Daqing, and zh:大清银行.

Request
I would like to have an image of the logo of the Ta-Ching Government Bank created. This logo looks like a coat of arms supported by two horses with in the middle what seems to be an image of a dragon chasing a wish-granting pearl / flaming pearl. An example of the image and a discussion related to its details could be found in the discussion below. Unfortunately I have not been able to find a version anywhere online of a banknote where this emblem/logo is depicted on that shows a lot of detail but I hope that the linked pages below shall be sufficient for the creation of such an emblem. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 09:34, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

Hi. I think the UK should not be marked in green as that map seems to mark in green the members of the EEA area. And I think the UK is not a member of EEA for the time being. As regards Croatia of course it should be blue. Are there not other maps already updated depicting Croacia as member of the EU?. Regards, Basquetteur.

I get that, why can’t we have the UK in red to show the UK is withdrawing from the EEA. Also I haven’t seen any other maps at this time showing Croatia as a EEA. (2A02:C7F:5622:2000:6816:E7A1:D642:D710 07:19, 15 February 2020 (UTC))[reply]
Non-graphist comment

The map shows countries that are (a) in (b) not in the EEA. Marking otherwise would introduce an entirely new element. Comment for graphist, not at all intended to patronise (made in case you're outside the UK, because it's not always known by non-UK people): there is a small part of the UK on the island of Ireland, which has also left the EU, namely Northern Ireland. Hope this helps. SCHolar44 (talk) 02:37, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]


SVG Chart

Hi, it seems that the template SVG Chart is not being maintained anymore. I found the instructions a bit cryptic and I note that in the last few years, there are only a few posts on the talk page, most of which have gone unanswered. Should this page perhaps be marked historical or deprecated or something? I also see a reference to "another SVG generator that is under development" from 2015, do you know what/where that is? Alternatively, do you know of a better way to create SVG charts that can easily be updated by laypeople? I have tried various pieces of software, but they all produce SVG files that have completely unreadable source code (for humans). I really like the idea of this SVG Chart template... Is it true that the Graph extension needs to be applied to every language wiki separately as claimed on the same talk page? KarlFrei (talk) 09:04, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): It's POTY 2017 finalist, it is already used on many pages.

Request
Please fix displaying of text "Lithosphere" in the current version – on preview/bitmap images it is not displayed at all and SVG under Firefox does not look nice, although the text is visible. IMO all texts should look like in version from 16th December 2019. --jdx Re: 10:48, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
The renderer does not have some of the text attributes coded, so sometimes text won't render in PNGs despite it appearing fine when looking at the SVGs in browsers.
In the older version, the text was converted into paths. This means that it looks consistent across all browsers, but is impossible to translate. You may prefer the text when it was like this, but it seems that the choice was made to make the file translatable.
I have corrected the file without changing the text back to paths, but the label follows a straight line rather than a curve. If this doesn't look good to you, then you may want to propose that the file is reverted to how it was in December 2018. NikNaks talk - gallery - wikipedia 11:50, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What about font size? On the preview (generated by rsvg AFAIR) texts are much bigger than in SVG rendered by my FF. A problem with font substitution list? BTW. Perhaps "Lithosphere" should be converted into paths… --jdx Re: 12:10, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I require assistance in making high quality GIF images.
