Thank you for letting me know to update the current picture. The only problem I have had is that when I try to do this it says "Your account is too new" so that is why I have been uploading a new one and trying to link it. Thanks again! --Pluta0 (talk)

Brazil

Thank you very much for what you've done with those three images! It looks great! What you did to this one [1] could do the same with this other picture [2]? --Lecen (talk) 21:19, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I made a new request there, could you take a look in it, please? --Lecen (talk) 21:56, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vearthy, I've noticed that in the Battl of Avaí painting [3] the right-half of it has a "yellowish" tone in it. Could you fix it, please? --Lecen (talk) 16:03, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, since you haven't bothered to answer me to say at least "sorry, can't help", I will leave you alone. Thank you for those pictures, however. Good luck, --Lecen (talk) 02:06, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, I'd like to apologize for being unfair with you. I meant no offense. Since you a are very, very good editor, could you tell me if it is possible to somehow fix this picture ([4])? It is a photomontage of Emperor Pedro II of Brazil, with his head taken from a photography and the body from a painting. I tried to turn the black and white photo into a colored one but the result, as you can see, wasn't that great. i took as a models for skin and hair color these pics ([5] and [6]). Do you believe it could be worked on?

On the other two pictures: I'm not able to find a better bersion of the first one. If it is too hard to fix it, forget about it, it won't be a problem. On the second one, I'll try to scan a better version. Thank you very much. Regards, --Lecen (talk) 22:36, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for updating the Top 4 Users log. Turns out I wasn't getting the updates because I only had the old archive page on my watchlist. I'm actually going to start a new archive for 2011, though. Guoguo12 --Talk-- 22:54, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When you add a new graphic request

Use the "new request" button at the top of the page. When you piggyback off the previous request as you do, it looks like you are answering that request. Please don't do it that way, the button is so much easier.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 02:16, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Podłogę można oczywiście wyretuszować, ale to już trochę inna bajka niż usunięcie watermarku.

Nie ma za co przepraszać, bo miałeś rację. Zdjęcie (podłogę) podretuszowałem. Pozdrawiam PawełMM (talk) 14:24, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:Austria-Hungary_map.svg

Hi, I see you have recolored a map of Austria-Hungary. While I agree that the new colors look nice, that image was originally meant to show (in light and dark green) the Kingdom of Hungary and its autonomous provinces (i.e. see how it is used in Greater Hungary (political concept)) and that information is now lost.

Could you perhaps retouch the colors so that those regions are clearly distinguishable? Thanks --78.14.236.169 (talk) 16:06, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OFFICIAL COMPLAINT

!!

MAY IT BE KNOWN FOR FUTURE RECORDS. PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND IF CONSIDERING THIS USER FOR ADMINISTRATOR TASKS, ETC

User Verathy belittled my efforts to help Wikipedia in the graphic lab. Verathy said they were sloppy and did not appreciate my effort. No feedback was provided as to what was sloppy or what was better done. Instead of encouraging me to help with the project, this user has treated me like an "unwelcome outsider" which stifles help. I am now reluctant to help with the offensive manner in which this user deals with people. I am offended. Nesnad (talk) 02:40, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

TOP 4

Hi. I tried to improve. I hope of better. Thanks for the recognition! Tamba52 (talk) 19:02, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, I hope so good. Tamba52 (talk) 19:14, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I could do. If you are no good, please call back. Congratulations to the barnstar! Tamba52 (talk) 18:52, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ooops, you're right. I've fixed it. Thanks for letting me know! --Sisyphos23 (talk) 18:47, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think it needs more improvement?--Sisyphos23 (talk) 18:57, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, I thought it looked kinda natural :/. Anyway, I changed some parts of the image. Hopefully they're the ones that you mean (wasn't really sure).--Sisyphos23 (talk) 13:41, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your quality assurance

Thank you for being diligent with this image. I'd given it a second shot and was defeated by the damn thing. Your efforts in recognizing the importance of details are what keep Wikipedia a significant and reliable website. You absolutely deserve this barnstar. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 15:34, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Top 4 tasks difficulty

Hi Vearthy, I feel the need to explain my decision on the last Top 4 image batch. In the edit summary for this diff, you wrote, "I don't really like the way it's level has been lowered". From my very first New Top 4 to my second to last, my images have been difficult, well-researched (in my opinion), and most importantly, varied (since I believe it was you who were criticized on the Top 4 talk page for continuously using images described as "watermarks ad nauseum"). If you look at the archives, you'll see my Top 4s have included using larger versions of PD images on outside sites, perspective changes, frame removals requiring painting in missing edges, using multiple images to fix one image, crease and shade removals, image restoration, and image stitching, in addition to tricky watermark removals, and all images were checked for usage, importance, and tag dates. But since the last couple of Top 4s have been taking three days to complete instead of 48 hours—and if I set up the Top 4, I refrain from working on more than one image, if any, out of fairness to the graphists—I thought perhaps these Top 4 requests were turning people away. So I figured this one time I would put up a request of all crops to draw in users. Your edit summary is condescending, rude, ill informed, and for some reason, you have been an ass to me since I started here. If you don't like me, there's nothing I can do about it. But don't you dare accuse me of bringing down the Top 4 because I have kept it interesting since the end of April. I have used you as a model for diligence and quality control, as some of the graphists may attest to, and I apologize for putting up a batch of all crops, which I will never do again. But for the love of God, man, show me at least a little respect once in a while. Or contact me on my talk page and tell me everything I've done wrong and we'll sort it out. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 21:26, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't an attack on you. I didn't know who put up new tasks there. I just saw the last 4 tasks that could be done in a blink of an eye without much effort. I was just disappointed because those tasks should be more difficult. It's not fair for someone like Tamba52 who has done really great work on harder tasks (yes, boring watermark removals) to be equal in the number of tasks done with someone who just cropped the images out. Sorry for the language I use. I'm not fluent in English and I don't know if all the words I use are impolite or not. I don't even know you so I can't say if I like you or not. It's not like that I am here to make everybody feel worse. It wasn't what I intended to do. I'm really sorry. I'm really trying to be as polite and as encouraging as I can. I've seen the archives and you, as you've said, did give interesting tasks. Last tasks just made an impression that the Graphic Lab is on really low level. I apologize again. Vearthy (talk) 22:30, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Last tasks just made an impression that the Graphic Lab is on really low level." — see, it's things like that that you shouldn't say. The Graphic Lab was never at a "low level", and I do take it personally. The only time the Graphic Lab is at a low level is when volunteers stop coming by to edit images. Think of it this way: I got four images to be fixed immediately with four new images added the following day by you; this is, to me, excellent, as opposed to four images being done in three days. Many more images are being done than just the four, because I always edit images as I come across them while hunting for images to put in the Top 4. For every four that I put up, perhaps another four to ten images are being completed and therefore removed from the massive backlogs. The Graphic Lab isn't at a low; the Graphic Lab is operating nominally and it makes me want to come back and participate even more. But when I see the Top 4 stall for three days, I do have to wonder: have I done something wrong? So I become vulnerable, and I want to keep people interested, not turned off. I posted a batch of four "crop me" images—though not necessarily easy, as you can see in some of the image upload comments—but a volunteer came by and did them. Had I replaced those four immediately, no one would have ever known, and meanwhile, the Top 4 would've made up its quota for the last couple days! So I'm sorry I took it personally and I'm sorry for turning this into a personal matter. It's easily forgotten, and we should concentrate on more important affairs. You've obviously brought up a point: should there be an expectancy for difficulty or time-expense among the Top 4 images? Let's take that discussion to the Top 4 talk page. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 09:52, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
