{{helpme}} I'm a Visual Designer and would like to help improve Wikipedia maps and Graphics. However, the graphics lab/workshop section is completely indecipherable. Would be great if someone could advise me.

Hi. Sounds good.

Let me show you by example;

There is a request, Wikipedia:Graphic_Lab/Map_workshop#UN_Human_Development_Report_2009.

If you clicked 'edit' on that section, you could add comments in the "Graphist opinion(s):" part. You could put in "I am working on this request" and take the job on.

To contact that user, you would click on the link to the right of the requesters signature, which in this case is the (talk) link.

If you did it, you could upload the 'fixed' picture, then mark the request as 'done'. There are fancy templates to mark these things, but don't worry about all that for now.

I suggest you start out like this; go to Wikipedia:Graphic_Lab/Map_workshop#toc, and scroll down the list; skip the 'stale' ones. Hopefully, those requests will make sense, and you might be able to help with them.

In doing a request, you will gradually pick up more of the ways of Wikipedia.

For more help, please either use a further {{helpme}}, ask me personally on user talk:Chzz, or (best) talk to us live, with this. Cheers, Chzz ► 08:52, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
