Article(s):Marriage a-la-mode and the 6 subpages.

Request: I scanned the most massive and detailed reproductions of the engravings of Hogarth's Marriage a-la-mode series I could find, but I had to do them in two images per engraving, so I am requesting that someone "stitch" the images together and upload them (to here or Commons). The licenses would be PD-100/PD-Art, they are all located at [http://68.39.174.238/H]. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 23:07, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: This looks like a job for Hugin, but I won't do it today. Maybe over the weekend. --Slashme (talk) 06:22, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

::OK, its not urgent, so that's fine. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 17:23, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I've downloaded the images, but there doesn't seem to be much overlap. That pretty much rules out the use of hugin. :( Also, "H6-1.png" seems to be missing from the list. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 12:02, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

OK, I had a look at the files, and they're a bit fat for my 56k modem. Sorry, I'll have to pass on this one. --Slashme (talk) 18:44, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

:If I were to scan an "overlap" down the middle of the divide, would that work? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 23:02, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

::Yep! > Rugby471 ^talk ⚔ 17:38, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

:::Does it have to be the entire overlap? My scanner isn't big enough to get the entire overlap, but I got a scan of ~¾ of the divide. Will that work? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 18:12, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

::::Never mind that, I've got new scans that have the entire overlap. They're in the above directory, as photoshop files. I'll convert them to PNGs later. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 00:42, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

:I've uploaded the first image to Commons as :Image:Hogarth Marriage-a-la-mode reproduction 1 full.png. Could you please check the image description and update it as appropriate? (In particular, the author and date of the engraving would be useful to know.) —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 22:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

::Excellent, I've added the author (It was Hogarth), I don't have the date, since this was something he (Hogarth) postponed doing, finishing and publishing several times. 68.39.174.238 00:30, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

:OK, I colour coded the districts, but I don't know where the islands belong. It should be easy for someone who knows Croatia to fix this. Also, maybe some districts have traditional colours? Also, the non-geographical voting regions are not on my new map. --Slashme (talk) 13:56, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Request: Hi, this is a replaceable copyrighted map. Would it be possible for someone to create a replacement? It is exactly the same request as the London Midland maps done a while back. They have been done. They had exactly the same copyright problem. A simplified drawing (using straight lines etc.) would be fine. The colours can be changed, the layout can be slightly changed and simplified. The fonts can be changed. Many maps (including those above) like this have been done before with no problem.

::Or maybe not. Sorry: "Real life"™. --Slashme 10:28, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

PRIORITY: If this image is not done soon, it will be deleted as it is orphaned/non-free/replaceable etc. etc. Dewarw 11:54, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I gave it a start.—Cronholm¹⁴⁴ 22:20, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, look good so far. Dewarw 22:50, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

:I can't just copy it from here. Since it is subject to copyright, if I just make a copy of it as an svg then it will still be subject to that copyright. I'm actually not sure how different it has to be to be free of the copyright, but the point is that this is as far as I'll go for now. I'm sure someone round here has a suggestion as to how to proceed, or perhaps I am mistaken in my notion of copyrights. —Cronholm¹⁴⁴ 00:15, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

::I'm just too busy to help out here, but I could save someone loads of time. There seems to be no need to include all the gray "existing" lines, or the yellow ones for that matter, and a straight-lined topographical diagram would be miles neater and simpler. There, I've just reduced the job to a 20-minute sketch ;) --mikaul^talk 09:06, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

How to make it okay for copyright:

Just simplify everything: use straight lines, for example.
Use a slightly different colour scheme.
Use a different font for any letters.

This will make it okay for use. Other egs where this has worked include the London Midland maps & the pdf, the Beeching II map, and the Central Citylink map (see archives). Do not feel that you have to take too long on it. I really appreciate your work, thanks. -- Dewarw (talk) 17:11, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

::Not sure if this helps much. The station labels do work in Inkscape, but don't show up here. (??) I was able to make a pdf and a png that show them. The station labels should be checked - I'm not familiar with the city. Sagredo^Discussione? 07:36, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I re-did the text, but there are still some strange black blocks left. Not sure where they come from. Ill take another look if I get time. --Slashme 08:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

:OK, couldn't figure it out, so I copied the route paths and labels to a new document, and put in the station markers by hand. Problem solved! --Slashme 08:41, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I also removed a couple of paths from the picture: Some of the outlines of the gonads were drawn as separate paths instead of just having the central grey area have an outline. This, and reducing the precision of the position-specifiers in the document itself, reduced the file size by about half, which should make any further editing much easier on memory-limited computers! --Slashme (talk) 07:34, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

There has been a discussion [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:India#Geography_section] on improving this image to reflect the geography of India.

Could you please remove the names of all the cities except the major ones (Bangalore, Chennai, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kolkata)

Also, could you insert the names of the mountains (found here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Indiahills.png]) and add the names of the rivers (found here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Indiarivers.png]) into this image. If you could make this picture with the rivers and mountains and without the city names as a new image, that would be really great. Thanks so much

Request:

Using a clean blank map, that captures all the little island chains, please make a much clearer map with sharper borders between nations, ~~SVGify~~. A mockup has been drawn to ease the process. Chris (talk) 05:48, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Countries with no Scouting organization should be in light grey-these are
Andorra
Burma
People's Republic of China
Cuba
North Korea
Laos

Graphist opinion: Thas has been waiting a while, so if no-one has done it by this weekend, I'll do it. --Slashme (talk) 09:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

:I'm on it... --Slashme (talk) 16:49, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

::Oops, in progress, but real life called. Please hack in my absence. --Slashme (talk) 16:58, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

:::Can we do a map without the Mercator oval? It seems distracting. Thanks! Chris (talk) 20:20, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

::OK, shall do. I'm back on the job, will have it done in about an hour. --Slashme (talk) 06:14, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

::Please check the new version. The map which I used was a blank SVG map from commons which was divided along national lines, so I just went along with its opinion on which islands belonged to whom. It doesn't separate Hong Kong from the rest of China, so if there is a scout organisation there, let me know and I can update accordingly. There were also a few spots on the map which didn't seem to correlate with countries, but I'm sure the relevant scouts organisations can figure them out. --Slashme (talk) 06:51, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

::As for the island chains, the blank map I was working on doesn't have all the little islands north of Australia. If you can provide a reasonably good map of them, I could quite easily include them. --Slashme (talk) 07:04, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

:You sir are a great man people will write songs about. Clean ones this time! ;) Minor tweaks:

Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan should be purple

::Done

place red dots on Hong Kong and Macao, they do have Scouts, thanks for the insight!

::Done (just big red dots, as the map I was using doesn't identify Macao or HK properly.)

Hainan island (south China, near Vietnam) should not be red

::Sorted

trim all excess border so map is visibly larger

::Not done. Inkscape didn't want to do this, so I'd have to hack it in by hand, and there really isn't that much white space anyway. If it really bothers you, I guess I could, but look carefully along the edges and you'll see some islands very close to the edge.

six non-Scouting countries lighter grey like my crude mockup-stands out better

::Done

:Thanks once again for picking this up, I know it had to be a pain in the Antarctica. Chris (talk) 14:08, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

::No problem, it was actually easier than it seemed at first. --Slashme (talk) 16:10, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

:You rock! If you could trim the bottom a little, to match the other sides, that would be great. Chris (talk) 16:31, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

::Done, with many thanks, you are a true gentleman! :) Chris (talk) 00:53, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Request: I am working on an icon in Adobe Illustrator 10. I cannot save it as an SVG file without an error, and saving to any other format (GIF/JPG/PNG) causes adverse effects to the image. (The above image is a JPG, and it was created by taking a screen shot of the artboard in Illustrator — an odd way of accomplishing that!) The work is derived from two GNU icons in SVG (:Image:Television.svg and :Image:Nuvola apps edu languages.svg), so it should work. I've tried everything and I can't get anywhere. I uploaded the Illustrator file, and in order to bypass the warning, I renamed the file :Image:Gameshow.svg with an SVG extension. Help! Regards, Twigboy (talk) 04:11, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:

I tried to do it with Inkscape, but the current Inkscape only supports the postscript based .ai file format, not the current pdf based one. Your best bet would be for anyone who has illustrator to do it (which we have a few people in the graphics labs). > Rugby471 ^talk ⚔ 17:28, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Request: -- Can someone with a copy of Illustrator run the two .ai images [https://duke.dev.java.net/images/wave/index.html here] and [https://duke.dev.java.net/images/thumbsup/index.html here] through Illustrator's SVG export filter (omitting all the garbage that some versions seem to add - i.e. the eps, ai, and jpeg data), post, and update the image pages to {{tl|vva}}? A 5-second way of clearing two images from the category. Thanks! Stannered (talk) 00:24, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:

i made SVG versions of the two files & uploaded them to the Commons. Don't know what to do next ...

Sbmehta (talk) 16:54, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

:What you've done is great, thanks! I've now replaced the image on the template that used it, and 2 images are cleared from C:ITSBISF :-) Stannered (talk) 23:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Request: An SVG in better colors would be the ideal, but if nothing else it should be changed to not reference a nonexistent country (Zaire). 68.39.174.238 (talk) 06:13, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: I'll pick this one up. --Slashme (talk) 07:11, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I have made an attempt. I must say, though, that I doubt that the distribution map is very accurate, as I know for a fact that many people in Zimbabwe speak Swahili. But I'm not an expert. --Slashme (talk) 11:57, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

:The original came from the UCLA, so I'm going to assume it's not a fraud. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 02:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, the sources they have listed [http://www.lmp.ucla.edu/Profile.aspx?LangID=17&menu=004 there] are mostly pretty old. They don't explain where the map data came from, either... rather shoddy. ¦ Reisio (talk) 07:35, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

:Well, it's an SVG, so if someone makes a discovery of a better source, they can modify the image or file here to have it modified. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 00:14, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

True enough! I'll mark this one as "done" then. --Slashme (talk) 10:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
