Deportation of Armenian notables on 24 April 1915


Article(s): Deportation of Armenian notables on 24 April 1915

Request:

Okay, this may be a longer task than usual. I hope editors here are up for a bit of a challenge. First off, remove the Armenian captions beneath the photographs. Now...as you can see by the caption of the photograph here, the people in the collage must remain. But their photographs should be replaced by the ones on this website. Also, please add their names as captions beneath each photograph of the intellectuals (remember the names are found here). There's two missing spots, so please add Kegham Parseghian and Jak Sayabalyan from above or the website itself, it doesn't matter since they're the same picture. Please remove the last two people, Tlgadintsi and Yerukhan and replace it with Khachatur Malumian and Levon Larents. Also, while you're at it, please improve the quality of the photographs as well. NOTE: All the photographs in the website are in PD since they are original photographs of a 1919 publication (link to publication). I also added Jak Sayabalyan's and Kegham Parseghian's photographs above if that will be of any additional help. I will greatly appreciate it if someone took up this task since the article is being nominated for FL. Please feel free to ask any questions. -- Proudbolsahye (talk) 06:49, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, it looks like user Yerevanci took charge of this. However, is there any way we can add the names of the intellectuals as captions beneath each photo? Proudbolsahye (talk) 08:00, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):Image's request under progression Request taken by Centpacrr (talk) 03:27, 17 November 2013 (UTC). Adjusted gamma, color, & size. Centpacrr (talk) 03:27, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. But I don't suppose you could increase the ratio without distorting the pixels, could you? TRAJAN 117 (talk) 02:15, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The images were increased in size to 200% using Photoshop CS5 (Mac) running PhotoZoom Pro 5. As the original image files are quite small and low resolution there is not much to work with and so this is about the best that can be done with them if you want them enlarged like this. Centpacrr (talk) 02:49, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps it would better if you just adjusted the gamma, colour etc. But left ratio as it is. TRAJAN 117 (talk) 16:20, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please, can someone improve this foto. It is of great importance due the fact that it is the first free newspaper published that day in 46 years.

Can someone add some color to this?
I'm unclear by what you mean by "adding" color to this image or why you are requesting this. I suppose I could add some level of sepia toning to this what appears to be a noncommercial contemporary "snapshot" monochrome (B&W) image but I do not see the point to that or how it would improve it. If you are asking to have it fully "colorized" I do not see the point in that either as it would not in any way contribute to (and it fact could even be considered to diminish) the historical impact of the image, and any such colorization would also be speculative (and thus unencylopedic) as there is no way to know what the "true" colors were of the scene. There is nothing at all wrong with B&W images to illustrate events such as this, and in my view any "colorization" of this image (either by "sepia" toning or converting it to "full color") would add nothing to its impact or value as a vehicle to illustrate this event and could even detract therefrom by making it appear artificial.

Incorrect picture showing C7 electrical plug polarization

Article(s):

IEC_60320
[fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEI_60320]
[uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320]

Request:

Please correct, or replace, this image to show the correct polarization of a polarized C7 plug. Authoritative examples showing disagreement with this image can be seen here [[1]] and here [[2]] listed under "NEMA 1-15 Angled to IEC320 C7 - 10 Amp Cords" and "NEMA 1-15 to IEC320 C7 - 10 Amp Cords".

(Note: The Image description for this image may be correct; it states: "English: Picture showing the Live/Neutral polarity of a moulded C7 Polarised Connector which was supplied with a UK version of an "Ultrafire WF-137 Lithium Battery Charger for 18650/17670 Cells (100V~240V)"". if it is correct, then it seems the Ultrafire WF-137 Lithium Battery Charger came with a non-standard power cord.) -- -- thismatalk 11:08, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The image was pretty poor anyway, so I've overwritten it with a derivative of File:IEC60320 Polarised C7.JPG. Probably not the done thing, but hey-ho. That do ya? nagualdesign (talk) 04:13, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Moved this request to the Illustration Workshop, as signatures are normally vectorized. nagualdesign (talk) 03:58, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh dear. Centpacrr, the background should be either white or transparent, the signature should be black/untextured, the edges should be smooth and flowing, and the blob near the top right should have been removed (it is not part of the signature). And even then it would be wrong, because it's supposed to be an svg (vector) file. *facepalm* nagualdesign (talk) 00:33, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is no reason that the signature should be black and untextured, and that is not what was requested. You are suggesting that it should be made to look like a rubber stamp. However if that's what you want, Nagualdesign, then you should feel free to do it yourself and upload that file on a new host page. Centpacrr (talk) 06:14, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You're very kind, Centpacrr. Unfortunately I don't do vector graphics either, but the feeling of freedom to do so is very liberating. And thank you for your time and effort. Your upload will be useful somewhere, I'm sure. nagualdesign (talk) 03:43, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect, thank you! -- André Kritzinger (talk) 15:53, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently the image's original uploader didn't want the image altered and reverted it. I will therefore leave it up to you to negotiate with him/her which version to use. Centpacrr (talk) 20:36, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I saw. He was unhappy with the result. I'll just leave it be. André Kritzinger (talk) 20:53, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The original image was perfectly exposed and did not need lightening. It slightly lacked contrast because of the overcast conditions. I've done my own edit, which will hopefully satisfy all parties. nagualdesign (talk) 05:02, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
