This workshop is part of the Graphic Lab, a project aimed at picture retouching to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. More information about the lab can be found on its main page and requests pages (Illustrations ; Photographs ; Maps ; Video and Sound). To ask questions or make a suggestions, see the talk page of the graphic lab page.

The standard format for making a request is shown below, along with general advice, and should be followed. Many charts and graphs on the web are in the public domain. See Template:PD-chart; no need to create another free chart here if it already exists on the web.

Request
These pennant-shaped flags would look nicer and fit in well after changing their white backgrounds (the large white triangles on the upper and lower right) to transparent. Any critical feedback on making better requests is welcome; I don't want to be an annoyance. ～ Misha Vargas (talk | contribs) 20:05, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

BIOT Arms Tweaking


Higher resolution reference Alternate higher resolution reference

Article(s):

Request
The SVG of the BIOT arms is well made, but inaccurate and could do with a bit of a clean up. As you can see from the original drawings on the stamps, the right hand turtle has more natural colouring than the bright green in the SVG. The crown of St Edward should be in solid gold, not in colour, and the base colours of the union flag should be standardised to the Union Flag shades of red and blue. If someone is able to clean up the SVG file to make it more accurate, I would be hugely grateful. --Mangwanani (talk) 11:56, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Article(s): en:Speed limits in Italy, it:Storia della segnaletica stradale in Italia

Request
  • Create a fourth image by copying the first image and replacing the number 3 with the number 5 that's in the second image (the fourth image should look similar to the third image, but with the spacing and font of the first two).
  • Create four new copies (9, 10, 11, 12) of images 5, 6, 7, and 8, but with the red diagonal line taken from image 13.
  • Create two new copies (14 and 15) of the 5th sign, but with the white symbol horizontally aligned to the centre of the sign. The 15th image, in addition to being centred, should also have the red diagonal line added to it, like the previous images.

For the new images, use the filenames I used in the gallery. Thanks! --FaviFake (talk) 19:18, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

Update of the Coat of Arms of Nauru (Amendment Acts 2019 & 2020)


Request

I would like to request an update to the current SVG file of the Coat of Arms of Nauru. The existing version on Commons does not reflect the legal changes mandated by the Naoero National Anthem, Emblem and Flag Protection (Amendment) Act 2019 and the subsequent 2020 Amendment. The lower right section should contain a branch of 7 tomano (calophyllum) flowers with 6 leaves.

Kerala History Maps


Article(s): Many articles

Request
  • IMAGE 1: Appears to be intentionally styled to resemble an ancient fantasy-game parchment. Since this is an online encyclopedia and not a fantasy website - please remove the artificial aged-map effects and present it in a clean, professional style. Please directly overwrite the existing image instead of creating a replacement SVG/JPG file.
  • IMAGE 2: Please add the Arabian Sea and land areas outside Kerala to provide proper geographic context. The current version also uses too many colors, which makes it look cluttered and visually amateurish; consider simplifying the palette [even converting it to a clean black-and-white ]. Map appears amateurish. Please refine the design into a cleaner, more professional-looking map. Please directly overwrite the existing image instead of creating a replacement SVG/JPG file.
