Bird call drowned out by traffic noise

Bird call drowned out by traffic noise

Article(s):

Request: Can the traffic noise be removed? - MPF (talk) 22:54, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): I tried with a few equalizers to extract the audio from 0:39, but I think I have made it worse 😢 -痛^Designism (talk) 00:19, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

@痛 - I've been forgetting about this! Thanks for trying 👍 - MPF (talk) 01:35, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Video crop

First video
Second video

Article(s): en:Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, wikidata:Q137998543

Request: Please crop the videos as you see fit. --Kakan spelar (talk) 21:34, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): It would be useful to editors to concisely describe what operations are needed as we all have different opinions. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 11:23, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

Well, remove the black borders at the sides and the grey over and under. Both videos should of course be cropped the same.// Kakan spelar (talk) 18:38, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

Animation of Hello, World photographs

Article(s): en:Hello, World (photograph)

Request

Arstechnica reported on an animation created from 17 similar photographs of the backlit Earth. Would someone be able to create a free version at, say, 4K resolution and 10 fps? Instead of jumping between whole-Earth and crops, one could have four sychronised zoomed-in insets like so:

Satellites	Whole Earth	Southern lights
Northern lights	Whole Earth	Thunder- storm

Please vary the zoom so the Earth appears the same size (like a en:dolly zoom), and ensure that the orbiting satellites, moving aurorae and lightning are visible. --cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 07:40, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Request: Could someone please remove any sound here. It seems the sound is still under a copyright. I can't do that ATM. --Yann (talk) 13:20, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
