Some wiki technique[edit]

Stale

Request: Not a job, but this: can someone give a link to this mw:page? There is a wiki extension that does: "mouse-position on an image = wikilink"? Just a mw:page would be OK. I remember it is documented greatly. -DePiep (talk) 02:29, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lossless crop[edit]

Houses at 855-857 (left) and 859 (right) Oak Street in Ludlow, Kentucky

Front of the Houses at 855-857 Oak Street om Ludlow, Kentucky
Front of the House at 859 Oak Street om Ludlow, Kentucky

Article(s): National Register of Historic Places listings in Kenton County, Kentucky

Request: Just hoping for a little lossless cropping. Please draw a line between the two houses and upload each half separately. A line that cuts the red car in half would probably work well, since the building behind it is a garage that doesn't matter. Nyttend (talk) 02:12, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Final Fantasy Tactics cover art[edit]

Stale

Article(s): Final Fantasy Tactics

Request: I requested undeletion of old revisions of the file. However, administrators refused for copyright concerns. Actually, I recently changed my preference to "400px" for many images. The image looks too small for anyone preferring to see a larger scale of the image. The same could not be said, however, for everyone else being fine with the image as is. The image went alterations before size reduction, an improvement from original version of the image. How do you do the same alterations as the current image with a larger scale? -- George Ho (talk) 08:32, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's a few things that could be done to make this image 'unsuck'. I'm not sure what's appropriate, but off the top of my head, I can think of

Remove the 'back of the page' that bleed in when scanning the original
Make the image straight.
Remove the gray 'haze'?

Apologies for stepping on your toes. Reworked, less blurry, and straightened. (Hohum ^@) 23:51, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also upload version with paper texture. Revert as you prefer. (Hohum ^@) 23:57, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like some details were lost in that line at the bottom. The text in the image is also not perfectly horizontal. The final S in SCAVANS is also located a few pixels higher than the initial S.
