Request: Hello graphists, I'm reading the Cambridge history of China, vol.3, and there are a really complete map of the Tang Dynasty in 742. The map is display in the page 403, and it would be interesting to use it to produce the map of the Empire area, together with the provinces borders. I found a link : on books.google.com.

Graphist opinion: We'd need the original source data to make a non-free version. That's generally available on each individual county board of election web site, but I'm not about to collate them all. Kmusser (talk) 17:10, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/president/map.html Do you mean something like that? -- Frightwolf (talk) 19:01, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

That's copyrighted.Kmusser (talk) 19:28, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't mean use that (that's the problem I'm having, anyway), but if the NYT is accurate, couldn't we make a similar map in the same vein? If not, then because of the sheer amount of work it would take, would it be possible to find a way to use the NYT map instead? -- Frightwolf (talk) 19:44, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

We could make a similar map, but would need to go to the county results, ideally as reported by the counties themselves rather than the media as the media often don't bother to wait for final numbers to publish and don't usually go back to update themselves (note the lack of Alaska data, and I'd imagine MN doesn't reflect the recounts) - I also wouldn't put it past the NYT to deliberately mis-color a county as a copyright trap. Unfortunately "it would take a lot of work to replace" isn't exactly a valid fair use rationale. However, that said, since responding I did find county level results in a non-graphical format for 2008 that would be usable to create a map if we're ok with media reported numbers (bottom of http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/2008/), if we can get the same for 2004 it might not be as hard as I initially thought. Kmusser (talk) 20:26, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Ah, your talk about the NYT mis-coloring a county is a great point. I believe dictionaries have made up some words and definitions as a copyright trap, as well. Good call. As far as the county results, I believe it'd definitely be useful. Do you think you and even a few other editors may be able to work on it at some point? My photo program is pretty primitive. I tried just making a state results map and it just doesn't do the job, unfortunately. -- Frightwolf (talk) 20:49, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I can turn a spreadsheet into a map, would just need the '04 data in a spreadsheet to map the change. Kmusser (talk) 21:24, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Here's something I found: http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/vote2004/PresidentialByCounty.aspx?oi=P&rti=G&tf=l&sp=AZ Does this help? On the right, you just need to go President by County and select which state, and they give you a county-by-county run-down for each state. Not as great as just one spreadsheet, but a pretty good resource nonetheless. -- Frightwolf (talk) 22:23, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

The first step would be to do a SVG version of the districts map. I'll try to create one from [1] which should be a free (commons:template:PD-MapLibrary) source for reliable vector data. /Lokal_Profil 20:56, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, MapInfo is just the software, not the data source - though User:Rarelibra doesn't give his data source, public domain sources for administrative boundaries aren't hard to come by, so I don't have reason to doubt the PD claim. Kmusser (talk) 01:28, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! The maps look good. Do not worry about the security map. Do you think you can insert a legend into the maps? Explaining the colors? That would be great! Tājik (talk) 13:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Lokal put a legend in the image description, it's usually better to copy the legend into the caption on the page that you're going to use the map and keep the map itself language independent, see United Nations Regional Groups as an example in use. Kmusser (talk) 13:59, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

That sounds good. Thank you. Tājik (talk) 14:06, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I discovered a small mistake in the map regarding ethnic groups. Two districts that are Tajik and Hazara in majority are shown as Pashtun. You see them by comparing the new map with the old one. It's in the Ghazni area. Tājik (talk) 20:13, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I know. The problem is that whilst they are two districts in the png map they are one district in the svg. Apparently there has been quite a lot of reorganisation in that area so I extrapolated the colour based on Ghazni_Province#Demographics_and_geography. Interestingly enough it was neither of the colours in the png which dominated. /Lokal_Profil 01:30, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

OK, fair enough. That's a good explanation, and it should not be such a big problem. Just one last point: Hazara is spelled with a "z" only, not with "zh". ;-) But thank you very much, anyway! Tājik (talk) 03:14, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Additional corrections: indeed, both former districts (Jaghatu and Bahrami Shahid) were put together to form the new district "Jaghatu". According to official numbers from Afghanistan, Hazaras are 73% of this new district (see also this official PDF). So, the color of that district should be yellow. Tājik (talk) 03:34, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Map and legends have been updated. It seems as though there has been a lot of admin changes in that area since (according to Ghazni_Province that disterict no longer exists. That's not a problem for this map though. /Lokal_Profil 22:13, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Request: Although I'm proud of my fiddling with Photoshop and scans of existing maps, I'm planning to have the article where this map appears featured and I'd like it to look as professional as possible. Since I currently can't modify the map to accord to our mapping guidelines (yellow on orange background, etc.; the kind of a map you usually see on high-profile articles) without losing much information about the borders in the process, and I really suck at SVGs, I'm asking someone to do the job for me. Hopefully, it shouldn't be too hard. Admiral Norton ^(talk) 23:11, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:

I can do a quick trace of it, but I can't promise the borders will be 100% the same. It's tricky tracing lines that squiggle all over and the convert to SVG tool in Inkscape is worthless. vıdıoman 23:54, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

That's not an issue for me, I understand it can't be done perfectly given software and human limitations and I don't expect it to be pristine. BTW, the thick border down right is a county border and I believe it should be emphasized somehow (you don't have to make it that way if the regulations say otherwise, I don't know them). Admiral Norton ^(talk) 17:52, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

We have guidelines for various border types. I can't do it tonight (no time) but I can get to it tomorrow or Sunday. vıdıoman 00:58, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Two things: The top left had a large brown area, I interpreted that as a county division and drew it as such but if it is wrong I can correct it. Also, I made the land on the other side of county borders grey so that Zagreb county could be orange, allowing Zaprešić to be yellow. If you think the other counties should just be orange let me know. Also let me know if the numbers appear properly (aren't overlapping boundaries or each other). vıdıoman 02:20, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Article(s): Vevo

Request: Please vectorize the logo of the new Google/Universal Music Group music video service Vevo. Not sure if it's worth keeping the tag line (it's a small font and difficult to see in the article). Thanks! ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 03:15, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: Logo is copyrighted, we can't vectorise per the resolution clause of WP:FU. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 17:40, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

 Not done Since it is copyrighted, why not leave it as it is? It is best to leave them without modification. After all, it is in PNG format. ZooFari 18:06, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Logos are done here all the time. For example, a few in 2009: this, this, and this. Most logos for large, notable companies are in SVG and there has not been a problem. This argument came up before in the January archive and the supporters of vectorizing seem to be in the right. And obviously after an SVG is uploaded, I would request the immediate deletion of the png. Also, one could argue (though I don't feel confident enough to do so) that this logo is PD due to the fact that it's only a typeface. When doing a quick search function in WP:FU and WP:LOGO, nowhere do the strings "vector" or "SVG" exist, so it's apparently not that big of a deal. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 18:32, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Personally I think logo PNGs should not be vectorized. I usually encourage others not to vectorize. There is nothing wrong with leaving a logo as PNG, and it is a huge risk to vectorize, but I guess that is not up to me. Still eligible for vectorization... ZooFari 18:44, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

How do you see it as a risk? Do you mean to Wikipedia or the uploader? I think this is little more than paranoia but that's just my opinion. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 18:52, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

I think it is a risk to the vectorizer. I obviously trust this image, but there are others where vectorization is unwanted. ZooFari 18:58, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't have a problem with vectorising PNG logos as such, but if too much effort is required to vectorise (e.g. guessing the intent of antialiasing from a very low-resolution image), I don't think it's worth it. This logo in particular should be easy and, as a disclaimer in the PNG file page says, "This logo only consists of typefaces, individual words, slogans, or simple geometric shapes. These are not eligible for copyright alone because they are not original enough, and thus the logo is considered to be in the public domain." gringer (talk) 23:38, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Yea, I didn't place those tags there, but I had a gut feeling that that was the case. Didn't feel confident enough to make that call though. But I'd appreciate a vectorization. It's gonna go svg eventually anyway; this product will most likely become very popular once it's up and running. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 17:56, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but this logo is definitely copyrighted; it not eligible to be in the PD. If anyone disagrees, please let me know. In regards to vectorizing it, I would say just wait until they come out with an official SVG logo. --Pbroks13^talk? 23:59, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't buy this. Like I said previously, this will eventually be vectorized and I haven't seen the case where we just wait for (and depend on) the hosting company to create and distribute said file. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 02:43, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay, well I made a vector version. What do you think? --Pbroks13^talk? 16:57, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

It looks good. The font on the subline seems to be off. Maybe it should just be excluded? The SM is only on the VEVO part, so maybe we should only consider those four letters the actual logo. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 19:11, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Request: Could someone make this PNG an SVG? Thanks in advance, Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 14:59, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: The image description of the German svg says: Please do not use this SVG graphic within Wikipedia articles! Use the enclosed PNG version instead. This SVG file is solely a source for re-utilization, editing or printing purposes. Why do you need an SVG version of the very good png map? Did you contact the mapmaker Alexrk, who should already have an English vector version on his harddisk? bamse (talk) 00:32, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

SVG version already exists, the linked SVG file has both English and German layers and is the source for the PNG - if there is a mistake in the PNG make the correction in the SVG file and output a new PNG file for display purposes, otherwise I don't see anything to do here. Kmusser (talk) 20:12, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I made three changes, but in the PNG: A miles/km (both) scale is there, the "proposed" eastern span replacement is no longer proposed so that needs to be removed. In addition, the dashed lines for the eastern span should be made solid. See Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge for related discussion about this. I have not contacted Alexrk, and will do so now. Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 00:42, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't know how to work with SVGs, so I came here for assistance. Thanks, Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 00:42, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

OK, I applied the corrections you made to the PNG version to the SVG version as well. Kmusser (talk) 15:07, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I have uploaded the English layer of the SVG as a separate file, as File:SFOBB map en.svg. However, the English layer still has some issues that were corrected in the German layer: Broken fonts in the highway shields, the Oakland label not centered, and a missing "Francisco". Could you correct these, please? Thanks, Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 19:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

It's better I think. The highway shields I moved to a language independent layer, figure there's no reason to have multiples of those. I don't know why Oakland kept getting displaced, but hopefully I moved it far enough over that it'll stay in the map. Kmusser (talk) 14:51, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

I was looking at various images regarding international football, and I discovered that while some of the images used (such as File:World Map FIFA.svg and File:Qualifying countries of 2002 FIFA World Cup.svg were in SVG format, neither of them respected the Home Nations' borders as they should. While the PNG images that exist do the same, as they are based on File:BlankMap-World-UK.png, which does should the borders correctly. Is there any effort to create an SVG version of this image, or modify the existing SVG world map to show the borders? I started trying to do it myself, but I felt like I was taking a hacksaw to it when it required much more precision than I could offer. Also, am I even asking this in the right place?

Graphist opinion: OK, I did File:World Map FIFA.svg, you should be able to copy/paste my update to other SVG files that used that same basemap. Kmusser (talk) 16:51, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Article(s): London International Airport

Request: Hopefully this one is fairly easy. I need a map like Karl's airport destination maps (example), but for YXU. All data regarding the destinations should be there in the article. Thanks! —paranomia^{happy harry's high club} 22:18, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: Will do, should have it for you in a day or two. Kmusser (talk) 23:36, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks. —paranomia^{happy harry's high club} 00:12, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Done and added to the article, I couldn't find any evidence for Puerto Plata as a destination, bu the rest of them all checked out. Kmusser (talk) 15:25, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again. And you're right about Puerto Plata, I've gone ahead and fixed that. Paranomia (talk) 22:07, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

  PNG, recommended you use this.

Article(s): Lincolnville GO Station, Lisgar GO Station

Request: I need a couple of things done: first, it needs to be SVGified. Then, it'd be great if you could add Lincolnville GO Station and Lisgar GO Station in their correct places (you can use their articles and Google Maps for info about their approximate location). Thanks! Paranomia (talk) 00:47, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:

How is this? (Ignore the extra white space on the sides.) vıdıoman 07:42, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

That's great! But you've got "Rutherford" spelt wrong, as well as "Milliken". Also, do you have an SVG of that? Thanks again! Paranomia (talk) 12:41, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

It was actually already an SVG and I just noticed it (File:GOTrain.svg) but I have my own version anyway and since it is up to date we will use this until the network changes again, then use whichever is updated first. vıdıoman 14:20, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I didn't see that SVG. 75.119.234.240 (talk) 19:26, 25 April 2009 (UTC) Paranomia (talk) 19:27, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
