Since its debut in 1982, the [[comic book]] history of [[G.I. Joe]] has seen three separate publishers and four main-title series, all of which have been based on the [[Hasbro]] toyline of the same name. The first series was produced by [[Marvel Comics]] between 1984 and 1994, running for 155 issues and spawning several spin-off titles through out the course of its run; the second series was a short-lived run published by [[Dark Horse Comics]] in 1996; the third and fourth series were published by [[Devil's Due Productions]] from 2001 to 2008. The fifth series will be published by [[IDW Publishing]] starting in October 2008.

==Marvel Comics==
===A Real American Hero (Main series)===
Hasbro relaunched their G.I. Joe franchise with [[G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero]]. It was supported by a Marvel Comics series. It was unique at the time in that it was a comic book series that was promoted on [[television]] commercials which also supported the toy line. This 155-issue series is considered to be one of the longest-running [[comic book]] tie-ins to a toy line. Much of its success is to be credited to [[Larry Hama]], who wrote the entire series save for a few issues with guest writers. Rather than treating the stories as a mere promotion for the toys, Hama wrote the series with seriousness and infused it with doses of realism, humor, and drama. Other than [[Transformers (comic)|Transformers]], no other series was able to duplicate its success. Notable artists include [[Herb Trimpe]], [[Ron Wagner]], [[Rod Whigham]], and [[Marshall Rogers]].


<div style="display:block; float:left; width:100%;">
Issue #21 became a fan-favorite, not only because the [[Cobra Organization|Cobra]] ninja [[Storm Shadow (G.I. Joe)|Storm Shadow]] was introduced, but that issue also became a prime example of comics' visual storytelling power, having no dialogue or sound effects.

[[de:Wikipedia:Bilderwerkstatt]]
A number of differences existed between the comic book and the animated TV series. Certain characters who were very prominent in the comic book, such as [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)|Stalker]], were featured very little in the cartoon, while characters who were less prominent in the comic book, such as Shipwreck, were very prominent in the cartoon series. Another difference was that in the comic book featured a romance between [[Scarlett (G.I. Joe)|Scarlett]] and [[Snake-Eyes (G.I. Joe)|Snake-Eyes]], whereas in the cartoon, a romance between Scarlett and [[Duke (G.I. Joe)|Duke]] was hinted at instead (most likely due to the differences between writing for a comic book audience and writing for an animated series). The most notable difference between the comic and the cartoon, however, is in its handling of combat. While the cartoon showed that nearly every soldier in every battle survived (for example, many shots of different aircraft being shot down were shown to have its pilot escape in a parachute), the comic did not shy away from mass character deaths.

<!--
Shortly after the final issue (which was released in December 1994), a ''G.I. Joe Special'' #1 was released, with alternate art for issue #61 by [[Todd McFarlane]]. The first 37 issues were also released in 13 digests. In 2001, with the success of Devil's Due Comics run of ''G.I. Joe'', Marvel Comics collected the first 50 issues in five trade paperbacks, with ten issues in each book. All covers for the trade paperbacks were drawn by [[J. Scott Campbell]]. Marvel will not publish the rest of the series, because Hasbro has purchased the rights to the comics. Hasbro has since released reprints of some issues with some of their action figures.


====G.I. Joe Yearbooks====
The four ''Yearbooks'' (1985-1988) collected some previous stories, summarized events, etc. and, aside from the first ''Yearbook'', published new stories that tied into current events in the main title.


====G.I. Joe: Special Missions====
The success of the main title lead Marvel Comics to produce a secondary title, ''G.I. Joe: Special Missions'' which lasted 28 issues, with Herb Trimpe as the artist for nearly the entire run, with Dave Cockrun providing pencils on several issues. Spinning out of issue #50 of a story in the main title, the series featured more intense violence and a more ambiguous morality than the main title, while the enemies were conventional terrorists as well as Cobra itself. The first four issues, as well as the backup story from issue #50 of the main title, were later republished as a trade paperback.


====G.I. Joe: Order of Battle====
''Order of Battle'' was a four-issue comic series that reprinted the data found on the action figures' [[file card]]s with some edits and all-new artwork of G.I. Joe characters by Herb Trimpe. Published in 1987, the first two issues featured G.I. Joe members while the third issue focused on the [[Cobra Organization]], and the fourth featured various vehicles and equipment used by both organizations. The second issue caused some controversy when it erroneously listed [[Sylvester Stallone]]'s [[Rocky|Rocky Balboa]] character as a member of G.I. Joe. While negotiations had taken place, concerning the character's membership on the team, the deal had fallen through.<ref>[http://www.yojoe.com/archive/unproduced/rockybalboa.shtml YOJOE.COM | Sculpt: Rocky Balboa<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The third and fourth issues contained a retraction stating that Rocky Balboa was not and had never been a member of G.I. Joe. The [[trade paperback]] edition of the series removed mention of the Rocky character entirely.


====Tales of G.I. Joe====
''Tales of G.I. Joe'' reprinted the first fifteen issues of G.I. Joe on a higher quality paper stock than that used for the main comic.


--------- requests start from here ---------------------->
====Foreign language versions====
G.I. Joe was published in a number of languages, sometimes by local publishers. Issues were translated into [[German language|German]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[Polish language|Polish]], [[Canadian French|French (Canada)]], [[Swedish language|Swedish]], [[Norwegian language|Norwegian]], [[Finnish language|Finnish]], [[Japanese language|Japanese]], [[Arabic language|Arabic]] and other languages.


===Alternate universes===
====G.I. Joe and the Transformers====
A four issue limited series that teamed-up the Joes with the other popular property of the 1980s, [[Transformers (comic)|Transformers]]. The Joes and the [[Autobots]] must join forces to stop the [[Decepticons]] and Cobra from destroying the world. The story suffered from the need to have the events of the limited series reflect the events of the main G.I. Joe and Transformers titles published by Marvel Comics at the time. However, while there were references in the Transformers ongoing series to the events of the limited series, the G.I. Joe ignored it completely, as writer Larry Hama didn't consider it to be [[Canon (fiction)|canon]], though towards the end of the ongoing G.I. Joe series several Transformers characters appeared in the G.I. Joe title as a prequel for the upcoming ''[[Transformers: Generation Two]]'' comic. The issues made reference to the limited series. A trade paperback later collected all four issues.


====Action Force and G.I. Joe: European Missions ====
''[[Action Force]]'' was the [[United Kingdom|British]] counterpart to the 3 3/4-inch G.I. Joe toyline. The Action Force comic was launched by [[Marvel UK]] in 1987, publishing original strips as well as modified reprints of the U.S. comic, with the team renamed "Action Force". The title lasted fifty issues before merging with Marvel UK's ''[[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#UK title|The Transformers]]'' in early 1988. The ''Action Force'' comic also included a tie-in story for the UK release of ''[[G.I. Joe: The Movie]]''.


== A simple equation ==
Later in 1988, a second series, ''Action Force Monthly'', was launched due to [[Marvel UK]]'s decision to produce comics in the American monthly format, and ran for fifteen issues before it was cancelled. The ''Action Force Monthly'' title was published in the U.S. as ''G.I. Joe: European Missions'', which kept all of the dialogue from the UK version without attempting to incproporate the reprinted stories into the continuity of the U.S. ''G.I. Joe'' comic.

{{Double image stack|center|First Equation Ever.png|First Equation Ever.svg|200}}
After the cancellation of ''Action Force Monthly'', the U.S. ''G.I. Joe'' comic was reprinted in Marvel UK's ''The Transformers'' comic as a back-up feature, with the dialogue kept intact, until it was dropped in 1991.

'''Articels:''' [[Equals sign]]
==Blackthorne Publishing==
Blackthorne Publishing released six bi-monthly issues of G.I.Joe in 3-D and one annual. These issues were meant to be read with [[3-D glasses]]. The stories didn't contradict the previous Marvel ongoing series, but wasn't considered canon. Blackthorne also published three "How to draw G.I. Joe" issues.

==Dark Horse Comics==
In 1996, the G.I. Joe toyline was relaunched with the ''[[G.I. Joe Extreme]]'' series. [[Dark Horse Comics]] acquired the rights to publish comics based on the G.I. Joe Extreme property. The first series was a four-issue limited series that was written by [[Mike W. Barr]] and drawn by [[Tatsuya Ishida]] and introduced the main characters. The ongoing ''G.I. Joe Extreme'' series that was launched afterwards dropped the word "Extreme" from the title. The ongoing series lasted four issue before being canceled, although Dark Horse referred to the title as being on hiatus.

==Benchpress Comics==
In the spring of 1999, [[Benchpress Comics]] announced the acquisition of the rights to produce new G.I. Joe and Transformers comics. The G.I. Joe project was to have included Larry Hama as writer. Benchpress's initial plan was to release two G.I. Joe titles; one would feature a core cast of characters (similar to the Marvel Comics series), while the other would have featured a rotating cast (similar in style to the Special Missions title). For unknown reasons, negotiations over hiring Larry Hama stalled and Benchpress went bankrupt, losing the license in the process. Larry Hama's series proposal and the three sample pages of the comic that were produced are available online.<ref>[http://www.yojoe.com/archive/unproduced/benchpress.shtml YoJoe!.com: Bench Press Studios' G.I. Joe]</ref>


:The second looks a little internally strange. EG. Is the "x" in a different fontface? [[Special:Contributions/68.39.174.238|68.39.174.238]] ([[User talk:68.39.174.238|talk]]) 00:27, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
==Devil's Due Publishing==
::I freely admit that I'm no expert in mathematical symbology, but that's the way the x is displayed when written as an equation in [[Microsoft Word|Word]], as well as how it's displayed in the mathematical mark-up you used above (ie <math>{x}</math>: <nowiki><math>14\sqrt{x}+|15|=|71|\,\!</math></nowiki>), so I presume that the typeface of the x is mathematically significant.

Most G.I. Joe titles published by [[Devil's Due Publishing]] are available in both comic and trade paperback formats.

===G.I. Joe A Real American Hero (Reinstated)===
In July 2001, Devil's Due acquired the rights to G.I. Joe and released a four-issue limited series through ''[[Image Comics]]'' entitled ''G.I. Joe'' (vol. 1), written by Josh Blaylock with John Larter and Steve Kurth as the artists. The title quickly became known to the fans as ''A Real American Hero'' (vol. 2) (following from Marvel's original series) or G.I. Joe Reinstated (the title of the first four-issue arc). A comics convention special was released before the first issue. Strong sales on the limited series led to it being upgraded to an ongoing series with the publication of a fifth issue and a monthly schedule. The new series picked up seven years after the end of the Marvel Comics series and also used elements from the animated TV series. Several older characters were featured in the title alongside several new recruits. The new series also spun off several other series and was responsible for bringing back attention to other 1980s properties such as Transformers, [[Masters of the Universe]] and [[Voltron]]. Devil's Due later broke with Image Comics and took over the publishing of the book.


The series ended with issue #43 with the introduction of a new enemy.


====G. I. Joe: Battle Files====
''G.I. Joe: Battle Files'' gave profiles of the G.I. Joe and Cobra teams, as well as information on their vehicles. ''Battle Files'' was published between April and September 2002. A ''Sourcebook'' trade paperback was published in February 2003, which collected issues one through three with additional profiles added.


====G.I. Joe: Frontline====
This series lasted eighteen issues and featured a rotative creative team for every story. The stories explore what happened to GI Joe and Cobra during the seven-year interlude between the Marvel and Devil's Due comic series. Larry Hama wrote ''Frontline's'' initial offering, "The Mission That Never Was," a four-part series set one month after the events of the Marvel series' Issue #155.


====Arashikage Showdown====
A single digest featuring [[Snake-Eyes]], [[Storm Shadow (G.I. Joe)|Storm Shadow]], Jinx, Scarlett, Kamakura, TJBang, Nunchuk and Budo. The martial experts try to recover the secret scrolls of the Arashikage Ninja Clan, to which several of them belong. This book has been considered to be non-canon by fans as it incorporates magical and fantasy elements not present in the main series.


== A few graphs on the housing buble ==
====G.I. Joe: Master and Apprentice I & II====
These were two four-issue limited series written by Brandon Jerwa. Volume 1 was about how [[Snake Eyes]] met and trained his apprentice Kamakura, while Volume 2 focused on Storm Shadow and his apprentice/lover Junko Akita.

{{main|G.I. Joe: America's Elite}}
Image:Foreclosure Trend - 2007.png | original
''G.I. Joe: America's Elite'', officially entitled G.I. Joe Comic Book Volume 2 on the inside cover, is the current main G.I. Joe title. It started with a "zero" issue and picked up the story one year after the events of the last issue of ''G.I. Joe: Reinstated''. The series features a darker tone and a smaller group of Joes than in ''Reinstated''. The series starts off with the president asking General Joseph Colton, the original G.I. Joe, to be the team's C.O., replacing General Hawk, who was paralyzed in the previous series. Character profiles are provided in the Data Desk Handbook, as well as in individual issues. Joe Casey wrote the first eighteen issues before editor Mike O'Sullivan wrote issues #19 and 20. Mark Powers and Mike Bear became the current writer and penciller on the book with #21. The 12-issue "World War III" story arc ran from issue #25 to #36. The series concluded with issue #36 after Devil's Due lost the license for G.I. Joe.

This was a cross-production with [[Dreamwave Productions]], who, at the time, held the license to create Transformers comics. Each studio released their own six-issue limited series which featured their own take on a crossover between the two franchises. Unlike previous efforts to bring the two properties together, the Devil's Due story takes place in an alternate present day where Cobra, just rising to prominence, has uncovered the Ark. Cobra steal the Transformers found inside, such as Optimus Prime, Ironhide and Ratchet, and adapt them into Cobra assault vehicles such as Cobra HISS tanks. G.I. Joe is formed to stop Cobra and receive unexpected help from [[Wheeljack]] and [[Bumblebee (Transformers)|Bumblebee]], who managed to avoid being taken by Cobra.

The second mini-series was a follow-up to the first story. Cybertronian technology has augumented both G.I. Joe and Cobra's forces, who are still fighting each other. During a battle, an accident causes several Joes and members of Cobra to be accidentally transported to Cybertron. The backlash of the accident also pulls several Transformers to Earth as well as scattering them through time. The Joes and Cobra must travel into the past and future to retrieve the missing Autobots and Decepticons before the Earth is destroyed. This is complicated by the fact that most of Cybertron is under the control of the Decepticon Shockwave.


==Sarah Palin==
The third mini-series, entitled ''The Art of War'' followed on from the second mini-series, using elements of the first. The new story focused on a reimagined version of [[Serpentor]], in this continuity a cyborg created from the DNA of great warleaders and the mechanical components of [[Megatron]]. Inadvertently freed by a Cobra raid, Serpentor journeyed to Cybertron. Now Hawk, [[Grimlock]] and the other Autobots and Joes must stop him before he takes the [[Autobot Matrix of Leadership]] for himself.

A fourth mini-series consisting of two double-sized issues, entitled ''Black Horizon'', was released in early 2007. After Hawk resigned from G.I. Joe in the wake of the events of "The Art of War", he formed a loose alliance with the Autobots to stop the spread of Cybertronian technology. However, a much bigger threat looms: the serpent cult [[Cobra-La]] and the dark god of the Transformers [[Unicron]]. Hawk, Flint, and Optimus Prime go the Himalayas to confront Cobra-La, and find a long lost hero: Joe Colton, the original G.I. Joe.

====G.I. Joe Reloaded====
''G.I. Joe Reloaded'' was an ongoing series published by Devil's Due. The comic featured a more realistic take on the G.I. Joe universe and used altered versions of the main characters. Snake-Eyes is Storm Shadow's half-brother and a former Cobra agent, the African-American woman Carla "Doc" Greer is G.I. Joe's field medic as opposed to the character [[Doc (G.I. Joe)|Carl "Doc" Greer]] from the main comic universe, and one of the Joes is an undercover Cobra agent who betrays the group. The series was preceded by the ''Cobra Reborn'' and ''G.I. Joe Reborn'' one-shots which introduced the main characters and featured the formation of G.I. Joe and the Cobra Organization. The series had no connection to the main comic series and was canceled after fourteen issues due to low sales.

====G.I. Joe: Sigma 6====
Written for a younger audience, ''[[G.I. Joe: Sigma 6]]'' is a six-issue series based on the new G.I. Joe toyline from Hasbro and the animated TV series of the same name. While the stories don't fit into the main comic universe, the characters largely have the same personas: Hawk is commanding officer, Duke is field leader, and there is a connection between the ninjas Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow.

===Transformers/G.I. Joe===
 
In this alternate universe, the story, written by John Ney Reiber and drawn by Jae Lee, Cobra had discovered and awakened the Decepticons, reformatting their vehicle modes into 1940s era war vehicles and weapons. The two evil forces conquer much of Europe in an alternate version of World War II. G.I. Joe, here a group of American infantry men, find the Autobots who aid them in stopping both Cobra and the Decepticons.

Dreamwave released only one issue before their financial troubles put a halt to their operations. The story followed Transformers/G.I.

'''Article(s):''' [[iPod]]
'''Request:''' Apple announced their new iPod line a week or so ago, and the [[iPod]] article is without an image. Unfortunately, we don't have a free iPod Touch 2G pic yet, but in the mean time, I would like a conglomeration (much like the samples above) of the iPods shuffle, nano, and classic (we can add the touch later). I have linked what I think are the best images we have to work with in the gallery, but you can use anything you can find, provided the iPod resembles the ones in the above images (no point in using an old model).

A note about copyright: some users contest that Apple's interface is copyrighted and therefore we must blur the screens. I think this is absurd. It mischaracterizes the iPod, misleads users, and lessens the enc value. The nano is turned off anyway, and the classic (bereft of other iPods) is on the Commons without issue. Make a fair use claim (here, not on Commons), or make the screen look likes it's off (the nano would make a good guide), but don't blur the screen. Ideally, let sleeping dogs lie and worry about making the iPods look nice. Thanks in advance for you patience, understanding, and work.[[User:HereToHelp|HereToHelp]] <sup>([[User talk:HereToHelp|''talk to me'']])</sup> 02:13, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

'''Request:''' I have attempted for many months now to find a good looking, color, free use image of Margaret Thatcher which focuses solely on her. Most are copyrighted, and the ones that we can use usually do not work or do not look decent. Just recently I cropped [[:Image:Margaret Thatcher DF-SD-06-15534.jpg]] to [[:Image:Margaret Thatcher Reagan funeral.jpg]], and made that the main image, replacing [[:Image:Margaret Thatcher 1983.jpg]]. I don't think it looks bad, but I would prefer an image of her during her tenure as Prime Minister. So I need a graphists opinion: which of the above images could be cropped to focus solely on Margaret Thatcher? And could a graphist perhaps experiment with cropping them, because I do not have the tools to reduce noise or change a background to improve the image when it is cropped.

A simple equation

Oppinion: How's this? Debate 木 09:31, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

The second looks a little internally strange. EG. Is the "x" in a different fontface? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 00:27, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
I freely admit that I'm no expert in mathematical symbology, but that's the way the x is displayed when written as an equation in Word, as well as how it's displayed in the mathematical mark-up you used above (ie : <math>14\sqrt{x}+|15|=|71|\,\!</math>), so I presume that the typeface of the x is mathematically significant. Nonetheless, the type-face can be easily changed if required. Debate 木 02:59, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
For this it doesn't have to be perfect. I strongly suspect that a featured image could be found of some part of this, but will let others decide... 68.39.174.238 (talk) 23:41, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Request: For all of them, SVGify if possible, since they are perfect for it (Boxes, colors and text). For the graphs, they should be recreated with (if possible) a standard look, but definitely free of unneeded dimensions (EG.

 – DyceBot (talk) 07:01, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

  Article(s): Sarah Palin   Request: Hi, this image is at the top of the article.  As you'll see at the image page, it was created by cropping a much larger image, zooming, and sharpening.  I did all this myself, but my software is crummy.  Can you do a better job?  Thanks.Ferrylodge (talk) 01:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC)   Graphist opinion: Would you object to a wider crop—closer to the lectern, maybe just above the sheet of paper she's holding, and all the way to her right shoulder? Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:23, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

The main thing is to have the eyes centered.  Some people asked for that at the article talk page.  As far as how wide the crop is, please use your best judgment.  You folks are the experts, not me. :-)  Maybe you could do one with the existing crop, and one with the wider crop?Ferrylodge (talk) 01:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Will give this a go tomorrow morning. Eyes will be centered :) Fvasconcellos (t·c) 02:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

(undent) Thanks, I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with.  Do you think this image or this image might be better at the top of the article?Ferrylodge (talk) 07:18, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Quality-wise, the "tracksuit" image (which was in the article for quite a while) is still the best, despite the awkward composition. I think the one above is the best substitute right now. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 15:19, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
OK, here we go. I've made three attempts; I recommend no. 2, but I'll leave it up to you to decide which is best :) Please let me know which one you'd like to keep and I'll move it to Commons under a more descriptive filename. Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 15:44, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I'll go with your choice, despite the hand (it kind of humanizes the whole thing, makes it look real and spontaneous, and will make for an interesting topic of conversation). #2 it is!. BTW, did you do any sharpening?Ferrylodge (talk) 20:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
On second thought, I think the head's too tiny on #2, so I went with #1 (after a little bit of sharpening). Thanks.Ferrylodge (talk) 21:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
No, I didn't do any sharpening as I didn't think it would be much of an improvement. Would you like any of the above versions kept or should I delete them? Fvasconcellos (t·c) 22:01, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your help and suggestions. I did a crop that is sort of a compromise between #1 and #2, and uploaded it, so I think we're all set now. The extras can be deleted, I think, unless you think the image now at Sara Palin can be substantially improved. Cheers.Ferrylodge (talk) 22:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
The new version is a good compromise. There are plenty of images of Palin on Commons, and I don't think these work-in-progress versions are necessary; that's why I uploaded them locally in the first place. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 22:13, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

(undent)Fvasconcellos, an editor has created another image that he thinks is better, though I disagree. What do you think? I've inserted the two images side by side (the one on the right is the current image in the article, as I write this).Ferrylodge (talk) 03:49, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that was me. I sharpened and tweaked the levels and highlights so that it is not so washed out. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 04:36, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
  • More accurate skin tone
More accurate hair color and detail
  • Face features looks sharper
  • Noise on blouse is less obvious
  • Sharper overall, such as mics, glasses details, etc.
We could tweak it further by keeping the original background, but using the sharper foreground portion
≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 04:39, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
The subject's shirt is so black in Jossi's image that you can't see the folds and wrinkles. The colors in the background are so bright they look like neon. I'm not convinced that the image on the right can be improved, but surely a compromise would be better than the image on the left.Ferrylodge (talk) 05:06, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
In all fairness, I do think it is a bit excessive, but the white balance has improved, and I can see still see the detail of her shirt just fine. Are you sure it's not your monitor?
I actually did do some color correction myself but decided against uploading the version because (as with the sharpening) I didn't think it was a real improvement. I said it above, and I'll say it again: this image is certainly not the best in terms of quality. Let's just try not to make this an issue, shall we? The article has seen more than enough of those as it is... Fvasconcellos (t·c) 12:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
I agree that the color saturation is excessive. It is also dark and has lost detail. I have worked on this image in Photoshop and have other versions with more subtle corrections that look better. IP75 75.25.28.167 (talk) 18:08, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
I'm just noting that I can see the folds fine, the blouse doesn't look that dark really. Make sure you have your monitor calibrated to this and this. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 23:03, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

In GIMP, with the Curves tool. After increasing contrast in the image as a whole, I masked the parsley and worked on the Green channel (again, with Curves) and did a tiny bit of sharpening.

Request: Apple announced their new iPod line a week or so ago, and the iPod article is without an image. Unfortunately, we don't have a free iPod Touch 2G pic yet, but in the mean time, I would like a conglomeration (much like the samples above) of the iPods shuffle, nano, and classic (we can add the touch later). I have linked what I think are the best images we have to work with in the gallery, but you can use anything you can find, provided the iPod resembles the ones in the above images (no point in using an old model).

A note about copyright: some users contest that Apple's interface is copyrighted and therefore we must blur the screens. I think this is absurd. It mischaracterizes the iPod, misleads users, and lessens the enc value. The nano is turned off anyway, and the classic (bereft of other iPods) is on the Commons without issue. Make a fair use claim (here, not on Commons), or make the screen look likes it's off (the nano would make a good guide), but don't blur the screen. Ideally, let sleeping dogs lie and worry about making the iPods look nice. Thanks in advance for you patience, understanding, and work.HereToHelp (talk to me) 02:13, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Although he uploaded the image universaleditbutton:Image:UEBfullsize.png, which is definetely not a digital zoom of the standard logo universaleditbutton:Image:Wiki.png, he says at universaleditbutton:Questions that it is the highest resolution he "know[s] of". Accordingly, he doesn't seem to be able to render a bigger file using a scalable image. At that community page, they even don't know under which license the image has been created firstly. So, it is better to imitate it and make a new one, as that logo doesn't seem to be so complicated.

Article(s): Margaret Thatcher, among others

Request: I have attempted for many months now to find a good looking, color, free use image of Margaret Thatcher which focuses solely on her. Most are copyrighted, and the ones that we can use usually do not work or do not look decent. Just recently I cropped Image:Margaret Thatcher DF-SD-06-15534.jpg to Image:Margaret Thatcher Reagan funeral.jpg, and made that the main image, replacing Image:Margaret Thatcher 1983.jpg. I don't think it looks bad, but I would prefer an image of her during her tenure as Prime Minister. So I need a graphists opinion: which of the above images could be cropped to focus solely on Margaret Thatcher? And could a graphist perhaps experiment with cropping them, because I do not have the tools to reduce noise or change a background to improve the image when it is cropped. If nothing comes of this, it's okay, but it is worth a shot. My best, Happyme22 (talk) 03:56, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:Hi, I cropped the image 3, and also removed President Ronald Reagan's shoulder from the image, but the source image quality wasn't good enough, and i don't know if it is good for article or not, i think the current image looks nice; Is there any better version available?   ■ MMXXtalk  21:08, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your attempt. I still find it to be really cool how you completely removed President Reagan's shoulder from the image! Computers are truly amazing! I don't have a problem with the current image (this one) but I was looking for one of her as Prime Minister. All of the images that were shown above are within this catalog, and direct links to them are on their pages. I'm not sure if there is any better version available, and I doubt it. Perhaps something could be done with image number six? Thanks, Happyme22 (talk) 05:53, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: The task here is really simple, but in order to avoid redundant uploads, do you want it to be overwritten to the existing file?--Demoeconomist (talk) 15:37, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, please! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 15:52, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
It's better to upload it under a different name since it's currently used outside en.wiki as well and they might not want it in red. /Lokal_Profil 20:05, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
It is always rendered in red, just as for Buddhism Image:Dharma Wheel.svg is gold and not black. Please upload over the original. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 00:56, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Since Demoeconomist has volunteered to do the job I'll leave it up to them. But I was wondering if you've(Chris) ever downloaded InkScape. Something like this takes two clicks to complete. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 01:03, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
I have downloaded it, it's on this computer, and not being a tech guy, I wept bitterly in trying to understand it, then gave up for my sanity. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 01:30, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Huh. That's too bad. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 01:32, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
A color change doesn't need a vector editor such as Inkscape, by the way. Just open the file in any text editor, find the hex value of the color you want to change and change it :) In this case, #000000 would become #e34234; save it, upload it, and you're home free.

Graphist opinion: Done. I'm waiting for a copyright issue with the arms (actually the city logo) to be resolved over at Commons—I'll upload as soon as it's clear. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 02:57, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
