i dont know wich font you used in your image but it would seem that svg can not handle it as font. there is an option to "outline" text in order to convert it to graphic. this should help you to make it show correctly. and as for the general quality of the lines i believe that you have too many points in your lines that makes them so "disorted". adobe illustrator tells e your file is damaged since he can not show a "part" of the image. wich is the text. try doing what i told you, and let me know if it works -LadyofHats (talk) 08:16, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After giving it some thought and having nothing more exciting to do, I cleaned up Advance Wars: Days of Ruin and nominated it for GA status. This is monumental for me, since it was the first article I edited here, and hopefully my work in the article will be made worthwhile by a successful nomination, although if it fails at least it can be improved. All I have to do now is wait (which could be a month or so; the backlog on GAN is massive).  Comandante Talk 04:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's odd. I've been anxiously awaiting this vindication of my effort, and then the moment passes me by. I've been spending the past hour trying to find the Wikipedians against censorship thing, but it has thus far eluded me. I can't remeber the full name of the page, nor can I find the user where I saw the userbox link for it either, and searches on WP turn up nothing. Utterly frustrating. That aside, it's a great feeling to see the article reach this milestone; I know I'm on the right track. At some point in the future I hope to get it to FA, but I'll take my time there. Thanks for pointing it out, I may never have noticed (for a few more hours). -- Comandante {Talk} 01:53, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know that my tone and the wording could flow much better and any editing you can do is welcome as stated in the information I left. I thought originally that a prior editor of Wikipedia was weird with prejudice possibly towards me and this is another reason I researched and went to court to file for the preclusion of slander and/or prejudice against me in the media. My goal is the same as wikipedia to the the extent that I just want the facts reported as I am sure you do. Thank you for understanding and please do not be offended by my tone (that I again welcome your expertise to for making it flow more properly. God bless you. Feel free to talk to me anytime about this. I am also recruiting and training people in politics and I did not have time to go into everything. Also, I know some of this information should cross over to a personal page about me and to another about the new political party. I hope I got the party platform across better, as it is much like the republican platform, as once ran as a Republican and I have endorsed Mike Huckabee, and can endorse any Republican although I started this new party because the focus is to also end religious prejudice in government, and yet the party supports freedom of religious expression for everyone, regardless of their faith.

Hey, I noticed you uploaded this image, but the drop shadow was a solid oval (rather than a radial gradient). It looked awesome otherwise. I took the liberty of fixing the shadow and I just thought I would let you know in case you want to revert for some reason. Hope you don't mind! Cheers! -- Tkgd2007 (talk) 18:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for adding the radial shadow, I was just too lazy to go and fix it myself, although I was thinking about it ...if I knew how. Originally it had a radial shadow, but for some reason it wouldn't upload as one. I've tried Adobe Illustrator and inkscape, so if you don't mind letting me in on your secret, that'd be great! As for converting that clock image into SVG, I really haven't had the time, but I promise I'll get to it soon. Thanks! -- penubag (talk) 02:06, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

For some reason I'm pretty sure Adobe Illustrator doesn't currently support alpha controls for colour stops in gradients. In Illustrator, you can adjust the master opacity of a layer and that's it. If you open a file (like you did) into Illustrator, it ditches the opacity for some reason. Frustrating. So yeah, I opened your file in Inkscape and selected the shadow oval. Then I went to Object>Fill and Stroke and then clicked Edit... to modify the radial gradient. I just moved the opacity slider down to zero and voila! Hope that helps! Cheers! -- Tkgd2007 (talk) 02:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for the tip, I'll take note of it. Actually when I recall my inkscape problems, it was actually the blur tool that didn't upload correctly (which was what I tried using). I finished with the clock png->svg process but sadly, the png version looks much, much better when scaled down to 50px. Maybe you have an idea? -- penubag (talk) 03:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Here are the previews:

Honestly I've never really used Inkscape before and I used it yesterday for the second time so I don't know anything about the blur tool. I did find this awesome link that shows you how to add a gaussian blur to the source code—note that you need to be pretty savvy and patient to get this to work properly: http://www.w3schools.com/svg/svg_filters_gaussian.asp. Essentially just add this:
<defs>
<filter id="Gaussian_Blur">
<feGaussianBlur in="SourceGraphic" stdDeviation="3" />
</filter>
</defs>
... add that near the top (in the same location as on the website, just underneath those XML definitions). Then, whatever your shape is, just add the part in bold: <ellipse cx="200" cy="150" rx="70" ry="40" style="filter:url(#Gaussian_Blur)"/> The XML code typically looks a bit different if you draw your images using Illustrator. I've noticed that generally the stroke and fill colours are defined near the beginning rather than in the style section. Anyways, I won't get into too much detail but look at that site and perhaps play around with it. I've been using gaussian blur with a bunch of my images recently. Also note that Wikimedia's SVG>PNG renderer has a tendency to F up. For example, this image looked perfect in Illustrator:

As you can see the one pixel difference in size drastically changes the look... it's strange, I know. So you can try playing around with that and see if you can get the blur to work. Oooh and another handy tip is Firefox 3.0 (beta) adds SVG functionality and will natively draw gaussian blurs correctly. In Firefox 2.0, the blurs don't show up (if you are looking directly at the .svg file). Anyways, I won't get into anymore detail here because I don't want to flood your talk page. About the clock, perhaps I'll look at it later today and try to fix the trace (by redrawing portions of it that could be simplified with gradients). Hope this helps! -- Tkgd2007 (talk) 07:21, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and be careful with licensing. Never release an image you've created under {{pd-self}} if it was originally something else, like in this case LGPL. I fixed the licensing for you. Cheers! -- Tkgd2007 (talk) 07:31, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I completely drew this from scratch. Cheers! -- Tkgd2007 (talk) 02:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I've already replaced the PNG clock with the SVG clock on every template I could find. We should definitely work on the news release template. Perhaps something like this with PR on it... Image:Newspaper Cover.svg. Oh and about the rendering errors, try looking at this http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SVG_fonts. You might just be using an unsupported font. When I use fonts, I generally convert them to outlines so that they render correctly—the downside is that the text is no longer editable and it will increase the filesize. -- Tkgd2007 (talk) 17:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed Image:Freebodydiagram3_pn.svg. Although the transmissibility principle allows you to move it and get the same result, the diagrams would be more technically correct if normal force was shown acting at the surface of the object, not a point in the middle (being a surface force and not a body force like gravity). It'd also be nice if they were too separate pictures (No reason to group two diagrams into one). I lack the edit capability to fix it myself so thought i'd raise it here.

The principle of transmissibility lets you put the force in the middle of the object, or on the surface. My point is that the reaction force and shear force should be shown at the surface of the object, like in the image you sent as these forces don't occur in the middle of the object. The force of gravity can be represented as a force downwards at the center of mass of the object however. Make sense? Noodle snacks (talk) 06:22, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I read your discussion with Jean-Jacques MILAN. I myself had some problems with him (he is a very good mechanician but often rude) and I think I understand what he does not like in these pictures:

1. instead of the N and F forces, you should put a single force R (reaction of the plane) and show this force can be decomposed in two forces, N and F; R is "real", N end F are only projections of R;
2. the application point — where the arrow start or end — should be on the plane (same as Noodle snacks message above), and in the case of the slope, not in the middle of the object but on the right so the R vector points towards the center of gravity of the object (thus the torque is zero).

Hope this helps.

Conclusions to centralized discussions are either marked as 'policy', 'guideline', 'endorsed', 'rejected', 'no consensus', or 'no change' etc. We should now decide for this discussion.

Good start. Can you change the globe to one where you can discern the continents?

The Transhumanist    07:29, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I used the Gimp to erase the globe and barnstar from the image, but I can't figure out how to turn the background transparent. File:Globe stand.png I know there's a way, but I couldn't understand the Gimp's instructions on how to do it.

Maybe it will make more sense to you.

Once transparent, a new globe could be inserted in the stand.  :)

The Transhumanist    09:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, for starters, I can definitely say that my favorite alternate history scenario is if the South won the Civil War. The other big one is, of course, the obligatory Nazi-won WWII, but I prefer the first scenario in that the world could have ended up so different. Would there have even been a WWII, or a WWI? Anyway, since I'm assuming you can make do with fiction, some of the best novels on the matter are Bring the Jubilee, The Guns of the South, and How Few Remain. The first two are less rooted in reality, with things like time travel being major parts of the plot, but the third book is the first an a longer saga (timeline-191), which describes a much more probable world.

If you would prefer the Nazi victory timeline, however, look into The Man in the High Castle; there are likely other good stories in this line, but I've only really read one, since the others are short stories and only available in many cases as anthologies. If possible, look for The Best Alternate History Stories of the 20th Century, a very good collection edited by Harry Turtledove and Martin H. Greenburg.

If you need anything else, then let me know. I'm no expert, but alternate history is one of my favorite hobbies. -- Comandante {Talk} 21:00, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My favorite alternate history scenario is when the New World is discovered, the native race there is an intelligent species of velociraptor, who capture the explorers, eat some of them, and start copying their ships. It is then up to the surviving prisoners to escape and warn Europe so it can prepare for the forthcoming invasion by the New Worlders. The Transhumanist    02:11, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I figured it out - it was easier than I thought. It only took several clicks in the Gimp. Here's the globe stand with a transparent background:

File:Globe stand with transparent background.png

This is the base I'd like to work with.

What is needed now is a decent globe. None of those listed under "globe" on Commons are good enough, nor are the globe icons. The original globe would be great, but it's ruined by that overlapping barnstar. Please help find a great globe - this award needs to be awesome. The Transhumanist    02:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what to compare it to, but the Gimp is a pretty powerful program.

Here's what I've got so far...

File:Blue Marble in stand.png

Still need to superimpose the puzzle, and add a passport.

The Transhumanist    06:55, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File:Blue Puzzle Marble in stand.png

Now all it needs is a passport.

I created this passport front cover, from scratch using the GIMP and Image:Wikipedia logo gold.png.

Since we want to turn it, we need to give it pages, that is, depth, because passports have a thickness to them.

So, one thing we could do is replace the cover of an existing pic of a passport laying down with our new cover. This entails adding to the selected pic an alpha layer, clearing the white background (by selecting and clearing it - in the edit menu), and adding an additional layer for our cover. Then the size, perspective, and rotation of the new cover will need to be changed to fit over the old cover.

Is this something you can do?

Getting close. It needs to be under the bar, and it needs to be adjusted in shape (perspective) so that it looks like it is laying on the surface the globe stand is resting on. The Transhumanist    18:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The alt history story you refer to on my talk page refers to which novel? -- penubag  (talk) 05:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hypothetical. I was going to run my RPG group through it, but never got the chance. The Transhumanist    18:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"World" is supposed to be capitalized.

I've turned the globe image over to User talk:WBOSITG to work on. He's familiar with the GIMP. That and "Paint" are the only graphics programs that I know well enough to hold meaningful discussions about - which is important for collaborative problem-solving.

By the way, what graphics program have you been using?

I've got a lot more graphics stuff I need done, but we need to use a common set of tools so we know what each other are talking about.

Have you tried the GIMP yet? (It's free).

I look forward to your reply.

I need the words "Wikipedia World Developer" wrapped inside the bottom edge of a circle. I don't want to see the circle.

The circle should be 400px X 400px.

Try different font sizes until you find one that feels right for a medal.

The font color should be gold.

Can you do that?
