My original file is based on visual observation, but I have since found actual measurements from SADC. However the math is confusing me, I can make the outer white section with corners in the proper radius, but I can't figure out the reduction in radius for the corners of the red section. I am hoping someone much better at the math and triangle graphics can fix this for me. Please use the measurements where the value of H is 900. Fry1989 ^eh? 21:20, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Standardize Sudoku Images

Resolved

– LithiumFlash (talk) 15:36, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

S1 - Suggested standard

S2 - Lead image (1 of 2) - "A Sudoku Puzzle"

S3 - Lead image (2 of 2) - "And its Solution"

"A"
(for reference only)

S4

S5

S6

S7

S8

Article(s)

Sudoku, Mathematics of Sudoku, and Sudoku solving algorithms

Request

I would like to improve and standardize all the Sudoku images at the three Wikipedia articles. A summary:

Lead Article: Current images are OK, but can the 2 lead images (S2, S3) be aesthetically improved? (I think the image will appear better if the subordinate lines are thinner, with outline and lines delineating boxes slightly more prominent, as in S1).

Mathematics: Includes 11 Images (The 4 to be improved are shown above)

Algorithms: "S8" (shown above) to be improved.

Particulars: Please standardize frame size, aspect ratio, thickness of lines, etc. (Match S1, but make in svg file format).

S1: (Suggested standard). Maybe just make as svg.

S2 and S3: Make new images if there is a way to aesthetically improve them. (Note: S3 is compared with A in the Algorithm article, but no need to change A.)

S4: Please standardize and keep the blue hi-lite. see note (1).

S5: Please standardize and keep the blue hi-lite. see note (1).

S6: Please standardize. Please continue to use color hi-lites to emphasize the 3 empty rows (yellow) and 3 empty columns (blue). The intersection areas are green (yellow and blue blended). If there is a way to hi-lite the three empty boxes (3x3 areas) that would be great, but only if the overall image remains simple and easy to understand. see note (1).

S7: Please standardize.

S8: Please standardize.

note(1): color hi-liting in unsolved cells should be "faint" or rather transparent because they are "unsolved", intending to be "filled in" with an answer (by the reader). Intensity of blue as in S5 looks fine.

Thanks to any graphists able to help.-- LithiumFlash (talk) 13:31, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

Have you considered replacing the images with Template:Sudoku_9x9_grid? Auguel (talk) 21:38, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that template is already used in some math sections, and I plan to leave those in place. But it doesn't look very good (especially in the Main article, where people expect "magazine" quality images). The template will also not work where I need to hi-lite certain rows or columns with a transparent color. Many Sudokus have interesting mathematical properties, which is conveyed by their appearance. For an example, Fractals can be conveyed with ASCII characters or graphics. The editors for Fractals chose to use graphical images, which makes it a good-looking article (this is an extreme example, because Sudokus aren't as complex). But in the same way, I hope to improve the Sudoku article with better images. After these seven, I believe the task is done (I hope future contributors will just make new equivalent images when necessary). Thanks,—LithiumFlash (talk) 00:38, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For S6, will you be able to make the yellow and green a little darker (especially the yellow)? I do think S2 and S3 will look better with the new style (also it keeps them consistent with others). I hope you can complete those too. The others look great! Thanks for your help. I added the finished ones to the article.—LithiumFlash (talk) 11:32, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Auguel, perfect!

Resolved

– Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 11:26, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Dodger67:, @Auguel:, the diagram is of the Walter/Lieth (see http://www.zoolex.org/walter.html or German Wikipedia: http://de.wiki.x.io/wiki/Klimadiagramm#Walter.2FLieth-Klimadiagramm_.28hygrothermisch.29 ), and the axis need to be in 2:1 ratio; the main systematic assumption of Walter and Lieth being that evaporation and temperature are related and thus for a certain temperature (and thus evaporation) a certain amount of precipitation is needed. Everything above this 2:1 ratio introduces humidity, everything below removes it. Quote: "When the precipitation curve undercuts the temperature curve, the area in between them is dotted indicating dry season. When the precipitation curve supercedes the temperature curve, vertical lines are plotted for each month indicating moist season." This only works if the 2:1 ratio is kept.--Lommes (talk) 12:26, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing: Your format is, of course, valid (just not the Walter/Lieth format as the original), but then I'd advise you to change the precipitation curve to bar diagrams, as shown in Climograph. --Lommes (talk) 12:30, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lommes: interesting, I did not know about those diagrams. Are they only a German thing? Either way I changed the precipitation curve to be a bar diagram as you suggested. Auguel (talk) 18:19, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Auguel: I am no ecologist, but afaik they are very common in Germany and internationally, and among the most-used formats. A quick image search for "climate diagram" showed me 1/3 of diagrams conforming to W+L. After all, they have this neat wet season / dry season feature, that other diagrams don't. More information with the same data is nice to have. Cheers.--Lommes (talk) 19:22, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Icons for "Vital" articles

Resolved

Stale. --AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 22:29, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Current "vital" icon

See also Template:Icon#Icon codes for existing icons.

Article(s): Potentially all WP:VITAL and their talk pages
Request: I was making a mockup for a revised metabanner (see User:Headbomb/Sandbox/Banner), and I just realized that we don't have icons to indicate the "Vitality" level of articles. So I figure I'd ask her for some mockups and design ideas. I used File:Círculos_Concéntricos.svg for my mockup, but it's not really suitable for an actual implementation.

A possible idea

Take File:Círculos_Concéntricos.svg, add a fourth blue ring. You might have to reduce the size of the inner ring so it still looks nice at 16px, e.g. .

Level 1 = Colour inner ring red (or some other colour)
Level 2/3/4 = Other rings coloured instead.

-- Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 14:47, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

This is a very interesting idea. One thing I'm not keen on is using only colours to differentiate the icons. If at all possible it should be easy to differentiate the icons without colour (I usually try to draw diagrams so that they are still clear in grayscale). The rating icons do this by using letters (though that also isn't ideal per se, since it's not intercultural, but there isn't space for much else). Maybe the number or size of the circles could change?

I'm not sure about adding another ring to the File:Círculos_Concéntricos.svg, since there is already quite a bit of visual noise. Like I said though, very interesting. I shall have to ponder this further. —♫CheChe♫ talk 18:22, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I could also be a target circle with "1/2/3/4" in it. Or just a circle with "1/2/3/4" in it. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 18:46, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, numbers might be a good idea. I've just fiddled around a bit and made these. The last one seems like an ok design (do you think there's a good way we could fit a number on it?), and I think the brown one isn't bad too. —♫CheChe♫ talk 19:07, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be curious to see if fitting a 1/2/3/4 on the bulls eye would be readable, but I suspect not. So that probably means taking out the bull's eye, and putting a 1/2/3/4 that fits inside the inner ring instead. Or maybe taking out the inner ring entirely? Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 19:49, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Let's put those at the size they'll be used:

,

. The first three seem like a no go to me (details are too small). The last three have the best potential. Since they'll like be used over a background, the empty rings should be white rather than transparent. As far as icons go, the last one is angled like the others, so that's likely the starting point. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 19:50, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've just had an idea, what about a lightbulb icon?

I know it's not easily generalisable to the other levels, and the one I just made needs some work to be pleasing to the eye at this scale, but I kind of like it. Lightbulbs symbolise an important idea, right? —♫CheChe♫ talk 20:22, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I had considered the lightbulb actually, but you can't really indicate 1/2/3/4 with that. Maybe changing the glow from one color to the other, but eeehh... And going from Sun/Floodlight/Flashligh/Candle isn't going to fly either :p Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 20:25, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I've had a stab at 'numbers inside a target' (angled). Do you think the colours are ok? Is it easy to read?

,

—♫CheChe♫ talk 12:22, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Going by User:Headbomb/Sandbox/Banner#Mockup, I'd argue that if you want to use color, the progression Red/Green/Yellow/Blue/also doesn't really seem to make sense to me. Gold/Silver/Bronze/Copper might. And the inner ring looks like unneeded distraction more than be 'target-like', so might as well leave it out entirely. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 12:33, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense. How about those (above)? I'm not sure what colour to make the last one, since 'copper' isn't sufficiently different from bronze. I've tried making it white, but that hasn't gone very well. Would blue (or something) be ok, do you think? —♫CheChe♫ talk 14:03, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Old Gold/Grey/Bronze/Copper look different enough to me, but for a greater contrast, we could have Old Gold/Grey/Bronze/Cool Copper. Failing that, black would probably be better than blue or white for the 4th level. Also,I think you've nailed the general design of it, but a sans-serif font would probably be more readable. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 14:42, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alright then, these seems good to go now. The last one is sort of a mixture between copper and cool copper. —♫CheChe♫ talk 15:28, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me. Only thing might be to use a "paler inside", but it's not something I'd throw much of a fuss about either way. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 15:38, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request: I only need these images to be converted to .svg files, to work in the chess diagram module. For reference larger versions are here:; (These are already in the article Fairy chess piece); For the svg files to be used by the chess diagram module they must remain 45x45 pixels, and the filenames should stay the same (changing only the extension).; Also for reference (if needed) other icons in the chess diagram collection are here: c:Template:SVG_chess_pieces; Thanks for your help.LithiumFlash (talk) 20:26, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How are these? –♫CheChe♫ talk 16:03, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I believe they're perfect! I put them at the talk page for chess diagrams [[1]] and I believe another editor will be able to add them to the chess diagram module. Once I know they work for sure I'll leave a note here again. Thank you.LithiumFlash (talk) 19:15, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks ♫CheChe♫. These icons have been added to the module for making chess diagrams, and I believe everything is in good order (and added as an example in the diagram above). Looks great! Thank you. LithiumFlash (talk) 22:44, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

idea C

Article(s): meta:Environmental impact
Request: Dear graphists, please allow me to post a request that is not related to a Wikipedia article. As you may know, I started a project aiming to reduce the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement, for example by having the Wikipedia servers run on renewable energy (if you would like to support this idea, please add your name here). Recently, the WMF board picked up the idea, so my project is gaining some traction. In order to keep it that way, having a logo is probably a good idea, and I have started making a few first sketches. What do you think? I would love to create some (environmentally friendly) stickers to hand out at the Wikimedia Conference at the end of March that people can put on their laptop covers, so I would love to hear your thoughts! Thank you, -- Gnom (talk) 22:36, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Gnom:::Personally I like the look of idea C as the message is clear and the use of a green leaf helps connect it to the environment. The logo is also self contained within the leaf so if it was sticker it wouldn't need to have white space around the edges. Tsange ☯ Talk 16:58, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Signature of Jean Sylvain Bailly.
SVG signature of Jean Sylvain Bailly.

Article(s): Jean Sylvain Bailly
Request: Dear users of en.wiki, I'm Distico, an Italian user. I hope not to disturb here but I really need a help for this image. I've put my request also in Commons, because I think that the more people read it the more the probability to find someone raises. This is a signature of French astronomer Jean Sylvain Bailly. I would like you could change this signature by turning it into a .svg version aesthetically more beautiful. I give you an example of what I mean: this is a very nice Lafayette's signature taken from that image. What I mean is exactly the same. Can you do something to improve the signature of Bailly in this way? I thank you for your availability. -- Distico (talk) 21:38, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PNG renderer problems? or PDF -> SVG conversion issues?

Unresolved

– although immediate issues are resolved, a few technical issues raised here still remain unresolved and should be addressed

original PDF
converted SVG

Article(s): United States Department of State, etc.: there are multiple pages across multiple languages
Request: I've tried to convert Department of State organizational chart (May 2012).pdf this PDF into SVG using two different tools: first, the CloudConvert, and then Inkscape. In both cases, although the resulting SVGs render without any issues in both Inkscape and Firefox, the results of PNG rendering on Wiki are incorrect: you can see the results here. Is the PNG renderer broken, or have I done something incorrectly? cherkash (talk) 07:01, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)

I've had a look and the text is really messed up in this SVG. Retyping it by hand seems to have fixed it (I've done that for the top-left two boxes and for the Secretary of State). I'll do the rest (including that spelling correction) and upload soon. --♫CheChe♫ talk 11:02, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Cherkash: Ok, it took some doing but I think I've fixed the SVG now (as well as correcting the alignments/angles of the lines in the diagram). I think the problem came from the SVG conversion algorithm. With so much text that was roughly aligned, the algorithm found it difficult to know where to put text boxes. This compounded with the fact that it was hard to tell if the text was left-aligned or centre-aligned. The resulting SVG had text boxes all-over the place, with loads of spaces and bizarre text-flows. Anyway, I fixed it by just typing out new text-boxes by hand, so let me know if I made any spelling errors! --♫CheChe♫ talk 12:33, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, thank you @CheCheDaWaff: for a nice manual work you've done on cleaning this image up. There were a few minor spelling issues left, but I've fixed what I found, so no need for you to do anything else.

Now, moving away from immediate issues and their fixes: fundamentally, I don't think we've got to the bottom of the original issues I've observed:

1) The discrepancies between how the SVG was rendered by the browsers (correctly) and how SVG->PNG was doing the conversion (incorrectly), is something of a deeper technical concern.

2) Also, separately, even on the file you've fixed, if you look at e.g. 1,280 × 942 pixels PNG render, you can see how the kerning is completely screwed up all over (e.g. look at "Pacific Affairs" in the third box on the left). Text also gets out of boxes in a few places, which doesn't happen with the original resolution PNG render. So again, probably a technical issue with fonts scalability (just a wild guess), but something that should probably be looked at by technical folks who maintain the PNG render.

3) Finally, since this file gets updated regularly by the Dept of State, and in order to avoid a lot of manual work in the future on this and other similar files (when PDF->SVG and SVG->PNG conversions are used), how do we address all the underlying technical issues here? Feel free to redirect this to anyone who can help further.

genericized WikiProject Scouting emblems

Stale

replace "Pramuka" box with elongate Indonesian flag (please overwrite this version)

Article(s): WikiProject Scouting

Request

please create free-use [[WikiProject Scouting (name of country).svg]] using the genericized emblems, and upload at Commons, thanks. None of these match existing emblems, but they will be clearly recognizable as to meaning. Creativity is welcome, I just laid out the basic outline.

"Wouldn't the flags be enough?" Good question-here's why: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scouting/Userboxes -we've been seeing several users make their own userboxes for their own country's Scouting, which is great except they've been using their country's copyrighted logos. ☹ This covers every country we have members in. I would think flags are okay, but they are using distinct emblems, and the set of existing emblems are very distinct from each other, just as in IRL.

There are Scouting WikiProjects in several languages, so these could be used by multiple Scouting WikiProjects, hence the request to upload at Commons

The colors for Germany are not Austria, they are based on the original German Scouting Deutscher Pfadfinderbund

Request: In all of the above pages there are errors in the depictions of the grade insignia for O-1 through O-3, except for USMC O-3 on Captain (United States O-3), United States Marine Corps rank insignia, and United States Marine Corps, where the captain (O-3) insignia are correct. Naval insignia (including USN, USMC and USCG, as well as the USPHS, NOAA, and USMS) for these three grades use different style bars than do the military (i.e., Army and USAF) style displayed. Specifically, naval bars do not have beveled edges and the two silver bars of an O-3 have the connecting links almost at the ends of the bars, rather than inboard towards the center as on Army and Air Force insignia. A correct depiction of both types of bars, and the differences in placement of the connecting links is shown at Captain (United States O-3)#Gallery. While the differences between naval and military bars for O-1 and O-2 bars are admittedly slight (only the beveled edges) there is a visibly quite distinct difference in appearance between the naval and military styles of O-3 insignia. Please correct/create and place new graphics to reflect these differences.-- CobraDragoon (talk) 18:20, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My end goal is to make a graph for a specified purpose that's created into a template that can be used on multiple articles. The graph needs to have "x" values that can change with each article the graph is implemented on with "y" values that can range from 1 (no zero) to 100 MAX (hopefully how many can be defined as well) but 1 is the PEAK of the "y" values and 100 being the lowest. If possible, could it accomodate multiple lines as well? If I'm not being explicit enough, let me know!
