Flag of Honduras

Article(s): Flag of Honduras, Honduras, many other pages

Request

On 27 January 2022, the Honduran flag was officially changed from dark blue to turquoise. [19] Could someone please update File:Flag_of_Honduras.svg to use a more correct colour, like #00bce4? Thanks! :) AquaVacation (talk) 17:51, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

This requires an update to a protected file which can only be done by an Administrator.

January 27: File:Flag of Honduras.svg was protected due to an "upload" war
January 27: User:COAmaker17 uploaded a replacement candidate file named File:Bandera de Honduras 2022.svg. It uses the same turquoise colour (#18c3df) that appears on https://gobiernoxiomara.hn.
February 3: I added an edit request to File talk:Flag of Honduras.svg requesting that the image in File:Flag of Honduras.svg be replaced with the image from File:Bandera de Honduras 2022.svg.
As of today (February 6): Nobody has commented on the request. Nobody has completed the request. Nobody has denied the request.

Am I supposed to also add an entry to Commons:Requested updates to protected images? MapGrid (talk) 01:28, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

The creator and owner of the file, User:Kes47 is upset with the change and doesn't want to update the new turquoise blue flag also he started to edit Wikipedia pages referring to Honduras flag removing turquoise and stating that is not a neutral point of view to change the flag despite the new president Xiomara Castro just officialy returned to the turquoise blue mentioned in Legislative Decree no.29 of 1949. COAmaker17 (talk) 21:41, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

How funny to read COAmaker17's mendacious irrelevant comment right when I was making preparations for the upcoming file update. My edits at Wikipedia to aim for neutrality (and common sense) are irrelevant, and nobody asked me how "I felt" about the update request. But since that user mentioned me: yes, I agree with this request (not that it matters, right?). And yes MapGrid, you guys missed the tird step. -Kes⁴⁷ [REPORT AN ERROR] 22:23, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

More curious for me is that only when someone mentions you about this issue you start to act on it when recently you were reverting editions of the Honduran Flag page trying to impose your point of view, and yes, your recent editions in Wikipedia are relevant in this case leaving aside that you already knew about the request to update the flag for twelve days and you had not done anything until now. COAmaker17 (talk) 22:42, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

I have just added an entry to Commons:Requested updates to protected images.

@COAmaker17: Please understand that the recent rollbacks to File:Flag of Honduras.svg were done for multiple valid reasons:

A certain user uploaded a new image without properly explaining why. He or she uploaded the same image 5 times without ever engaging in a discussion on the file's talk page; this is why the file had to be put into a protected state.
The same user repeatedly corrupted many of the links on the page such that they did not match their captions.
The same user repeatedly removed the flag from the SVG Flags of Honduras category and placed it into a non-existent category.
Also, there was initially an expectation (from me) that the flag at presidencia.gob.hn would be promptly updated by the government as proof of the change. Ultimately it appears the old government simply removed the domain name from DNS and made the entire website go away. Not cool. Clearly my expectations were too high.

So yes, it is not surprising that the page went though lots of rollbacks by lots of people. Please don't assume that those involved in the rollbacks are against a colour change. MapGrid (talk) 23:37, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

@COAmaker17: I'm gonna answer one more time cause you keep lying. Your ability to assume things is astounding. I didn't notice that request till yesterday, and so I estarted uploading that other file; then you mentioned me here. I only noticed one file being replaced by other in es:Wikipedia, a permited it. Other thing: as far as I know, I don´t have to participate in your request, as you are implying. If you build up a good case for the update to be made in a file like this, it will be made with or without my approval. -Kes⁴⁷ [REPORT AN ERROR] 18:36, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kes47 Your whole statement falls apart, first it wasn't before I mentioned you here that you started "to prepare the file" but after, this can be proved just looking at the time of your preparations and comparing this time to the time that I mentioned you here, so in fact when I mentioned you at 21:41 you started to do your "preparations" at 21:53. Also you continue to impose your point of view that the new flag is not turquoise and continue removing the word turquoise and just leaving blue in the Wikimedia page Flag of Honduras.svg and the Wikipedia page of Bandera de Honduras. COAmaker17 (talk) 19:06, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Hahahaha. So, in your mind, I saw your mention, said to myself "I gotta so something right now!", ran as fast as I could and just a minute later you mentioned me I uploaded this file (with all the information it requieres). No body, I was already on my editing/uploading when you mentioned me, and why I found your comment funny. That's just the time I published those changes. Anyway... Change is done, right? Other issues you have you can discuss them elsewhere - Kes⁴⁷ [REPORT AN ERROR] 19:28, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

@Kes47 I was not referring to that file of the Honduran flag but this preparation, Which this file flag is the same one that you were defending a long time ago and you only re-uploaded it with another name. Apart from you still trying to impose your point of view on what is the "true" turquoise blue and removing the word turquoise from the Honduran page....

Ideally, one does not need to know SVG to add translations using SVG Translate:

A direct link with the requested file:

https://svgtranslate.toolforge.org/File:Effects_of_exposure_to_PFASs_on_human_health.svg (DO NOT USE until file is fixed)

However, this file uses a planar translation (a switch per language) rather than translation units (a switch per phrase).

The best approach would convert the file to translation units.

I changed its width and height to 100% (nominally 512px thumbnail) to reveal detail (there's not much!) The file was likely obtained by cropping a blank world map. As Monaco's area is small, it's better to use a large-scale map as a source. cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 09:42, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

@Gabuxae: A) File:Ludwig Emil Grimm - Friedrich Carl von Savigny.jpg would be fine. B) 1st variant — only small part with photo and title (I want to use this portrait in the person's infobox, so a picture with big piece of paper would look very small there).

Font specimen for new Microsoft fonts Tenorite, Bierstadt, Skeena, Seaford and Grandview

Calibri (PNG)
Corbel (SVG)

Article(s): yet to come, not existing yet in w:en or w:de

Request

(I still don’t feel home at Commons and this is my 1st request in this workshop.)

In April 2021 w:Microsoft published a set of 5 new fonts and announced to replace Microsoft Office’s default font w:Calibri with one of those. The fonts are already available in Microsoft 365 (Office in the cloud).^[1]

I’d like to have a set of specimen, maybe like the ones above.

I am not sure whether PNG or SVG would be better. SVG is usually better but part of the C* fonts’ and the upcoming fonts’ value is their enhanced use of w:ClearType. This rendering technique can only be captured as PNG but only in 1:1 display size and in its original orientation. --Frupa (talk) 13:08, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Coat of arms of Poland

Coat of arms of Poland - official version

Article(s): Articles related to Poland

Request: Is it possible to fix up this coat of arms a little, (here (p. 9) is how it should look. Now there are some flaws:

There's wrong type of crown.
Bottom of the shield isn't pointy and while it looks like that in a source provided, I think it was just accidently cropped.
Some weird stains on the beak, crown and talons
It would be good to revectorize the edges of eagle and shield itself, they kinda look bad when zoomed in

However do not change colours. Even if they are different on the official document, on the very next page (10) there are specifications on the exact shades of colors white and red, which after conversion to SRGB are #E9E8E7 and #D4213D. (You can change them if in the svg file there are different colors, but for me it seems just like the SRGB colors I gave). For this same reason I would leave yellow same. Even though it's lighter in the document, you can see that white and red are also lighter than the specification)--Piotr Bart (talk) 18:57, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

I added the namespace to the first, and it now renders. Why are you trying to vectorizze a photograph? It makes a huge SVG file that is a poor copy of the original. The 10 MB image may be too complicated to render in the allotted time. Glrx (talk) 16:20, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

@Jonteemil and Mrmw: Sorry, but I did not have time to fix the second this morning (I was running out the door, and MW was taking for ever to render the image). Mrmw came to our rescue and fixed the second file by adding the namespaces. You had the correct diagnosis. Glrx (talk) 02:36, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

JCS badge fixes

JCS Badge (pre-2021)
JCS Badge (post-2021)

Article(s): en:Joint Chiefs of Staff

Request

Pre-2021 version: Gold part of badge needs slight scaling and centering so the arms properly touch the silver border. Note the very slight lack of symmetry.
Post-2021 version: Compare with this design uploaded directly from the U.S. Dept. of Defense website. The post-2021 SVG image is an altered version of the pre-2021 version, but the alterations only amount to adding the third sword haphazardly, which isn't completely accurate. The gold crest inside the silver border needs to ever-so-slightly be rescaled and centred, and the middle sword to cover the area where the top silver circle is now. The area just above that needs to be reshaped to match the new version. The result should be symmetrical and (aside from keeping with the SVG art style) match the real JCS badge.--SuperWIKI (talk) 14:25, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Tips on cropping a GIF?

i have a newspaper scan of size 6k x 8k in GIF, but i only need part of it. what's the best (lossless if possible?) way to crop it? and should i convert it to PNG/JPG/other stuff?--RZuo (talk) 13:32, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

I think CropTool can do it (if file is on Commons).
If not, GIMP should handle this task (unsure about Photoshop).
Re-saving in GIF is what CropTool will do I believe, and it will be lossless.
From GIMP, save in PNG if you want it to be lossless, or in JPEG if smaller file is more a priority for you.

@Glrx: , interestingly enough this works but this doesn't (I use the Ecosia browser on a Google Pixel 4A device for context).

@Glrx: , I tried "fixing" it using Inkscape... didn't get very far. But it's a bit closer to the concept. While the fonts and general shapes are off this isn't something that's bad, what is the issue is that the WMF software can't ever seem to properly display it which is odd. Even on this laptop (Microsoft Edge on an HP Laptop 14s-dq1xxx) I have the exact same issues as on a mobile device. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 11:38, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

@Carnby: I don't really understand what your problem is, you would have to be more specific. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:05, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

@Carnby and Goran tek-en: I suspect Carnby ran into the problem that librsvg does not support SVG 1.1's textPath element. Consequently, Carnby used Inkscape to convert the text to curves, which is less than elegant. Glrx (talk) 18:03, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

@Carnby@Glrx To me, sometimes you have to convert text to path to get a good illustration, if this creates a less elegant or not so perfect code, that is the price to make it work visually. You can always Save it as Optimized code which is the best you can do. But to me the visual result is the most important. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 20:28, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Do you have a source that shows how the original looks like?
Which font have you used, is there specific font used in the original that you know of?
It's very hard to know what you want if there is not a source showing it, what is better spacing for you is something else for me. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:33, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

@Glrx and Goran tek-en: I uploaded a .png and the pure .svg version that does not work. A source for the image is this.

@Donald Trung: Hi. There are a couple of places in the great seal where the quality of the image is too low for me to reconstruct it. Could you find any other images of it? TilmannR (talk) 18:56, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

First (1st) of all thank you very muh @TilmannR: , excuse the late reply, I missed this ping and just saw this request when I wanted to add a zoomed in version of the Great Seal here. The issue with Nguyễn Dynasty seals is not only that they inconsistently write the same characters radically different on different seals, its that they use unorthodox forms of Chinese calligraphy that is simply impossible to find online, even standard reference websites like Hanziyuan that often contain dozens of Chinese seal script variants don't seem to have these. Unfortunately in case of this seal no versions seem to exist online outside of the Wikimedia Commons as I got it from a pirated book that's only for sale in specialised bookstores in Hanoi.

Going over your question marks from top to bottom, regarding the top blue question mark at the seal script character "Bình" (平) is that it's most likely a closed box but that the ink wasn't pressed deeply enough to make it. The only other print of this seal I've seen has it covered up by a black Chinese character, but this image does clear up some other questions you had like with the character ~~"đốc" (督)~~ "Quan" (關). I'll try to see if I can find other versions of these Chinese seal script characters for reference. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 07:56, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

https://hanziyuan.net/#%E5%B9%B3

The top question mark should likely be closed off as no version of it has an open top.

https://hanziyuan.net/#%E7%B8%BD

Regarding the character in the bottom of the middle row I actually think that it "touches" the "Bình" (平) above, as it would not seem unlikely in this type of calligraphy. The thing at the bottom actually seems to look like a tadpole but I can't find it in any other calligraphic representation of this character. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 08:03, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Blacking out part of a PDF

Request: I uploaded every issue of this newsletter RIT News and Events from 1970 to 1989 as they were public domain due to their lack of a copyright notice. However, I have just discovered that this PDF includes two photos with copyright notices: the photo of Horst P. Horst on the first page, and the photo under the "Independent Filmmakers Series Hosts Pennell" heading on page 3.

@Glrx: An Image without width=" and height=" is an undefined behaviour in SVG1.1. For SVG2.0 it is defined at https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/geometry.html#Sizing. Since SVG2.0 is not released, I would close Phab:T304190 as invalid. However even if images without width=" and height=" are not allowed/defined, the rest of the SVG-elements should be rendered. — Johannes Kalliauer - Talk | Contributions 07:37, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

@JoKalliauer: Thanks for finding the issue. SVG 1.1 https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/struct.html#ImageElement is less than clear about width and height. It does not say they are required, but it also does not specify a default. The SVG 1.1 DTD (https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/svgdtd.html) is clear that the two attributes are #REQUIRED. I should have run the validator on the image. If a file has an error, then there is no requirement to finish the rest of the file. My Phab report is invalid. Glrx (talk) 16:17, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

SVG bar chart misleading x-axis and trend line fixing request

Bar chart with misleading x-axis and trend line
new version with linear x-axis

Article(s): w:en:History of opium in China

Request

The x-axis of this chart is uneven, first two bars are 1650-1775 which span 125 years, while the second and third last bars are 1863-1867 spanning only 4 years, however the presentation and trend line made this data look like a continuous exponential growing trend from 1650. Hence I request the x-axis to be re-arranged to reflect the differences in time, as well as redrawing the trend line according to new time-adjusted chart. --C933103 (talk) 15:18, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@C933103: Hi! I made a new version, which shows that the imports increased approximately linearly between 1822 & 1880. I also tried to make the diagram more legible at small sizes and it's a multilingual SVG. TilmannR (talk) 23:06, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Wait, I just realized the graph's data seems to have problem.

On the opening paragraph it gave the data point of China opium import in some years.

According to the chest conversation rate printed on the old chart image, the data would be:

1729, 12.7 tons
1800, 286 tons
1838, 2540 tons
1858, 4445 tons

Other than the dispersion of year 1800 data, such value also mean that it wasn't growing linearly before 1800, and that is also not a smoothed grow around year 1858.

In view of such new observation that I were not aware of when making the request, should the chart be:

Plotted in log scale to reflect the changes from earlier part of the graph
Include these new data points
And be plotted in bar chart with appropriate spacing instead of a line chart

? C933103 (talk) 23:47, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

@C933103: The new data points have been added. I believe using a log scale and bars would reduce the legibility. Bars could be misinterpreted as there being many years without any imports (i.e. with bars of height 0) between years with imports. Using a log scale would put a lot of emphasis on the changes before 1800, but I think the whole point of the diagram is that the pre-1800 imports were all negligible compared to the 6500 tons in 1880. TilmannR (talk) 00:53, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Article(s): Dir (princely state)
Request: [26] there is information about missing subtitles in the file description, after 14 years it would have to be fixed. the inscription at the top meant "in the name of a benevolent and merciful God", in the middle a shahada in Urdu ("Allah is the only God and Muhammad is his prophet"), and at the bottom in Arabic "help God's victory is near."

In the file description we can read: ,,A simplified flag of the historical Pakistani state of Dir. The flag also contains text in Arabic, but I couldn't find a high-resolution source.`` The file was made based on the information from there, this source mentions the red version, this Italian website confirms both projects. The flag without inscriptions is not confirmed by any source known to me, but sometimes it appears as an illustration, however, appears information about the missing text. I think this may be due to a wrong flag posted on wikipedia for the last 14 years. Flag without inscriptions should be treated as speculative. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 20:32, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

I fixed the hole, for the pipil flag we can discuss what should be the better one to make it because the one you choose is from a Facebook user that is not part of a indigenious organization of El Salvador but the the one I send is from the IPN that is a nahuat teaching organization from El Salvador.

Very well. I think you are well informed, so it will be better if you choose. 213.192.68.53 07:25 February 14 2022 (UTC)

The flag of the Lübeck line (LL) is not shown in any photo I know. The different pictures vary in detail, but the link at the beginning is from the 1930s, while crwflags refer to the description. The modern APL logo may be copyrighted, but the eagle was made in 1938. The flag shown also dates from the late 1930s and there is no indication that it is used today.

If this bowl was actually commissioned by the Lübeck Linie, then it's probably an accurate depiction of their flag. TilmannR (talk) 16:35, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Possible, but it may be a printing error. I've also seen a version similar to the one on the bowl on the cover of the book, but I can't find it today. For now, I consider the version with the white line to be better. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 17:07, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, En rouge (talk) 20:18, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge: ~~What are the RGB values for "R dye"?~~ Is that a rule that applies to all flags? (e.g. Commons:Graphic_Lab/Illustration_workshop#Another_set_of_freight_Company_House_Flags) TilmannR (talk) 20:25, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

@TilmannR: You cannot use full scale red 00 100% red, in RGB-world, for a dye.

RGB red 100% is out of gamut for printed/dyed colors.

For your flag, you shall use instead a valid dye (as represented in RGB color) to be viewed on screen.

Choosing your color depends of your source(s), and the manner to approximate printed/photographed/designed/viewed/... color.

Red is NOT 100% RGB red, as green is NOT 100% RGB green, and blue is NOT 100% RGB blue.

@Swiãtopôłk: Clyde Shipping Company might be copyrighted. The lighthouse is above TOO and the museum has "not been able to identify the copyright owner of the flag's emblem", which implies that they assume that it's copyrighted. TilmannR (talk) 16:31, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

@TilmannR: They wrote that this project was introduced in 1924, so all right. The green inscriptions refer only to the copy owned by the museum, not to the project itself.

Request: Please, someone vectorize 20 flags and 1 coat of arms Swiãtopôłk (talk) 14:53, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

Seems like most of these have an aspect ratio of 8:5. Kutno, Bierawa and Pakosławice have 5:3. Kodrąb has 1:2.

But some of the PNG flags do not have clear aspect ratios:

Olszanka is between 8:5 and 5:3 at 350:216 ≈ 1.62 ≈ golden ratio.
Szadek and Tarnów Opolski are not quite 2:1 at 302:155 and 595:271 respectively.
Lipce Reymontowskie is a bit weird at 334:216 ≈ 1.546 ≈ 17:11.

Which aspect ratios should the SVG versions have? TilmannR (talk) 19:32, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Page 3 of this PDF seems to contain a detailed description of Szadek's flag, but I can't copy-paste it into a translator. I guess it's supposed to be 5:8, but I'd also like to know what it says about the shapes and colors. TilmannR (talk) 19:40, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Polish wikipedia has lists divided by province, (Opolskie Voivodeship, category) the description includes information copied from the relevant documents. I'll find the answers soon.

Olszanka does not specify the proportions in writing, the given file comes directly from the document of the statute.
Tarnów Opolski 3:5
Szadek 5:8, writes about colors very generally (argent, gules, vert, yellow)
Lipce Reymontowskie, the statute does not mention proportions, but has this graphic. --Swiãtopôłk (talk) 20:23, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Gmina Reńska Wieś's flag is officially defined on page 5 from this PDF on their website. The three colors, according to Google Translate, should be:

srebro (Silver)
błekit (Blue)
stare złoto [ciemne] (Old gold [dark])

The flag also appears to have an aspect ratio of more than 2:1, possibly due to hand-drawn error. 痛 (talk) 21:28, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

And re: "I guess it's supposed to be 5:8, but I'd also like to know what it says about the shapes and colors" Google translate is saying that "the width of all four colors are the same" and the horizontal flag has an aspect ratio of 8:5 indeed. The vertical flag is a 5:16. The document does not appear to define the color hex code one way or the other. 痛 (talk) 21:37, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

@痛: Thanks! "the width of all four colors are the same"... If they mean the width in the vertical direction, then it's already correct. Otherwise it becomes a bit of a geometry puzzle. :) TilmannR (talk) 21:53, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

yours, En rouge (talk) 02:17, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

@En rouge: Those all seem nicely in order, thank you for doing this. I'd say it's okay to go ahead and add the extra symbols on each one. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:43, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

213.192.68.53, 10 September 2021

I have two comments. Image 10: doesn't use this strange color, but only yellowed material. Image 14: shouldn't present Scandinavian cross, only a very thick Saint George's Cross.

— 213.192.68.53 — end
— En rouge edit, moved from above:

— Moved gallery posted by @213.192.68.53: :

right lion to most flags, but on some he shouldn't have a crown and the golden ax
Lion for 7, the ax should be larger and the tail is different
crown for 8 and 16, jewels must be gilded
the lion most similar to the 15, also the wrong tail

— 213.192.68.53 — end

— end of En rouge edit

@213.192.68.53: , please, can you give references for your arguments :

for 10: yellow rather than olive (as seen in 04 & (ref.1)

but in (ref.1), we can see differences between mast color (yellow-ish) and flag color (olive-ish)... what are your sources?

but I can agree with you, as for #10, I think viewed-black is blue instead, but I have no source...

I think it's the same (blue instead of black) for 6 & 7 (painted source images give me this feeling), as well as 10 perhaps ;

14 seems really be black (but I've got no other source than the given paper painted flags copy)

for 14: do you mean the cross is centered ? do you have a source ?
and/or other sources ?

for lion's tail, what's the problem ?

the main issue can be inward or outward... whatever the painting/display/rendering...

no?

all pictures are lion-ward (i.e. outward), rather than leopard-ward (inward)

so, what do you mean ?

thanks En rouge (talk) 00:17, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

@En rouge: Given the lack of sources (or indeed responses) from the other User, I think it may be best to proceed with adding the extra symbols to the flags in the best way you see fit yourself. If you're still up for it of course? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 18:00, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

@痛 and Snow Lion Fenian: Hi, for #10, for a better color context, please see [44], or [45] (in [46]) giving information about paper color, lion yellow color, red color, black color, and this strange olive-like color.

@痛: Moreover, for colors, see my remarks to 213.192.68.53 above. I think black can be blue, in #10. And perhaps black can be blue in #6 and #7 too. But, at this time I've no source for confirmation.

@痛: If you are going to do some jobs on these flags, let me know the numbers (I've already completed #7).

yours, En rouge (talk) 19:27, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge: Thanks. And re: your last bullet point — sure. I have not started on anything yet but am just volunteering myself here, noticing that this task from last year has not been completed yet.

@痛 and Snow Lion Fenian: as written above, I've uploaded a new version for #7.

I've found what I was looking for since months: bitmaps of the flags, to confirm colors and aspect ratio. The references are:

- [47]

- [48] (referring to the previous site)

At that time, I've updated #2 and #6 with new colors and aspect ratio.

(NB: the green for #10 is really green ;-)

Is there any chance you'd be able to create an SVG file of Proposal Number 12 from the 1821 set? It can be seen here (the one on the left).
Also, is there any chance you could create an SVG file of Proposal Number 18 from the 1821 set as well? It can be seen here, and a close up here.

So sorry about this, the only reason these flags aren't displayed with the others in the initial request is because they don't appear to exist on Wikimedia Commons for some reason. But it would be great to have the full set all in SVG, if possible. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 10:18, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Korean: 6·25전쟁에 자진 참전한 학도호국단의 깃발이다. 학도호국단의 대표적인 전투로는 포항여중 전투가 있다. 청색 바탕의 천 중앙에 적색 선의 사각형이 있고, 그 안에 독수리 문양과 태극문양을 합친 형탱에 적색으로 '학도호국대'라는 글자가 새겨져 있다. 학생을 상징하는 펜촉이 2개 그려져 있다.

English: The caption reads: it is a flag from Hakdohogukdan during the Korean War. They are known for their participation in Pohang Girls' Middle School. It is made of blue cloth with a red-perimeter square. Within, there is an image of Eagle and Taeguk. Under, it is written in red "Hakdohogukdae". And behind the crest, two pen nibs are placed to symbolize the students.

Request:: Korean : 3,4번 그림이 당시 뉴스에 보도가 되긴 했으나 실제로 삶에서 사용되었는지는 확인이 안됨. 오히려 8번이 자주 사용된것으로 확인됨. 이미지를 만든다면 후자를 쓰세요. '학도호국단'이라는 글자만 기본 명입니다. 다른 예시는 헷갈릴수 있어요 "휘문고등학교" 같은건 말그대로 학교 이름이니 벡터 이미지에 쓰지 말아주세요. https://www.law.go.kr/LSW/lsInfoP.do?lsiSeq=31935#0000를 보시면 이름 붙이는 방법이 이렇다는 걸 알수 있음. 문교부에 설치하는 학도호국단은 이를 “중앙학도호국단”, 교육위원회에 설치하는 학도호국단은 이를 “시도학도호국단”, 대학 및 고등학교에 설치하는 학도호국단은 이를 “학교(대학ㆍ고등학교)학도호국단”이라 각각 칭한다.
English : It is clear that both figure ③, ④ are featured and broadcasted by the contemporary news. However, the design is yet to be confirmed to be seen used in the real life. It is rather probable that the figure ⑧ was used instead from those collection of photos. Please make use of the latter for the design. But do note that only "학도호국단 (lit. Student National Defense Corps)" part is the basic insignia. Other examples might be misleading (e.g. 휘문고등학교학교호국단 stands for Hymen High School Student National Defense Corps, which cannot be used for a basis for vectorized examples). From this link (https://www.law.go.kr/LSW/lsInfoP.do?lsiSeq=31935#0000), we can see that the naming convention of Hogukdan uses the following rules: Hakdohogukdan that are raised by the Ministry of Education is named "Jongang Hakdohogukdan (lit. Central...)", subordinates to the municipal/metropolitan Office of Education apparatus is named "Si/Do Hakdohogukdan (lit.

고려 Right now I want to be clear with that by writing here I do not take this request at this time.
You have written a very structured request(s) with lots of information which is great, so I feel that you deserve some kind of feedback on it.
I'm a graphic worker here and this is my personal thoughts on your request;

You haven't linked to the article that you intend to use those flags in, I would like to see it.
It's very extensive, what I can estimate up to 30 flags.
You have structured the information very well which is helpful, but still it's a lot of information and for someone not knowledgeable of the subject it's very hard to really get a grip of it all.
For me it's hard to see which peace of information is to which flag and for what purpose.
I have looked at some of your links and what I have seen so far many are of poor quality (very hard to see what each flag really looks like) and might also be a subject of copyright. If something has a copyright I might be able to use it as information but not to draw from.
There is so much detailed information that I don't understand the bigger overall picture of what you want and how they would look. What I can see this is about flags from South Korea and regarding the Student Corps.
If you want my help (maybe) on this we would have to discuss this much more and I would need your help all the way through this and it will take some time. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 11:32, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Article(s): New England New State Movement

Request

Could someone please create an SVG file of the flag used by the old New England New State Movement (which campaigned for statehood in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia), as seen here. Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 14:08, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

This looks like a rather complicated graphic design. Do you have any proofs to show if this flag is created anonymously / pseudo-anonymously prior to 1955, or if the author who designed this flag had deceased before 1955? I know this is a modified version of the Scottish Lion flag, but the lions look visually quite different, so I am hesitant to pull it in for Commons. --痛 (talk) 18:04, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Done – It looked more like the Finnish lion to me than the Scottish lion, what with the sword and crown and very long tongue (even though I don't think it was an intentional callback to it) so I sketched a flag with that lion as a basis. It's not pretty but neither is the original image TBH; while it would be nice from a historic perspective to match the shapes exactly, as already stated copyright law may not allow that (but recreating across the blazon-emblazon divide is almost always allowed). Lemme know if the intent of the aspect ratio for the original is known, I just went for approximately 2:3 for now. Arlo James Barnes 23:22, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

That's fine, and thanks very much for your help. Although, while we're here, I can't help but ask that perhaps two minor modifications could be made to the lion:

Is there any chance that the blade from the sword above could be replaced with the one from this sword template here (but without changing the hilt), as I think it would match the shape of the blade from the link more accurately?
Also, would there be any chance that the crown on the lion's head be replaced with the one displayed on this shield here (albeit with the middle "point" removed), as I think that would be a more accurate representation of the crown from the link?

--Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 13:54, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

I just made the update. --痛 (talk) 18:23, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

@Arlo Barnes, Snow Lion Fenian, and 痛: The designer of the original flag is Ian Johnston, and the lion was prominently used in the pro-statehood campaign in the 1960s. There was an interview of Johnston where he mentioned the origins of the flag but I can't seem to find it at the moment. If I recall correctly he had seen the the Finnish coat of arms on a book and was inspired by the look when the designing the flag. Nonetheless I think it's bit questionable to use the exact design of the Finnish state arms here as it might lead to further confusion if the flag file gets spread around online. I'm not sure whether or not the original flag could be reproduced but the lion should have a different look in my opinion. Maybe a more generic heraldic lion could suffice? --Fenn-O-maniC (talk) 07:02, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Oops, sorry Snow Lion, didn't receive your reply from a couple weeks ago until just now. Thanks 痛 for the update, looks good. Replying to Fenn: given the shape of the tail and the armoured paw I doubt the comparison can be completely avoided, but we might tweak the design further away from 🇫🇮's arms, such as by reducing fur detail on the limbs or tilting the sword upward. [edit: I did a little of that, feel free to riff and/or revert to taste] Arlo James Barnes 07:20, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Indeed, the similarities are inevitable given the origin of the flag. I did managed to find this document published in 1952 which uses the same lion design as the flag. The site states the copyright should be due this year since its been 70 years from the publishing. --Fenn-O-maniC (talk) 07:43, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Oh nice, I think for publications in 1952 per the 70-year rule the public domain day would be January 1st, 2023; but it's soon enough, anyway (a matter for COM:VP/C in any case). It would be good to upload the historical photos of the flag and related documents when we are legally able. Arlo James Barnes 08:40, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

I went ahead and reworked the lion using elements available on Commons, I hope this is alright. And I agree, the original designs would be most useful once available. --Fenn-O-maniC (talk) 08:58, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

LOL I found our version way more aesthetically pleasing. One day the Commons version will be orthogonal as people start downloading images from Wikipedia and print it directly on their flags. Thanks for the nice work, Fenn-O-maniC. --痛 (talk) 15:30, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

A new Wikidata item example to improve representation

Douglas Adams Wikidata item example
Alternative Wikidata item using Ben Frey, a Cherokee linguist, as the example

Maybe consider using Marie Curie as an example too?

Article(s): Any number of Wikidata trainings (like this one)

Request: Hi everyone - I teach Wikidata courses for Wiki Education. We've been relying on this Douglas Adams example of a Wikidata item in our training modules for a few years now. As great of an example as this is, it perpetuates the demographic the white, male demographic bias of Wikidata. In an effort to address that, we're making our examples more diverse and focusing on underrepresented communities. Having other examples to choose from would be wonderful. I have a great example item to use, but I don't have the ability to create an SVG file. I've mocked it up as a PNG and uploaded it to Commons. Would anyone be willing to create a similar SVG file that follows the formatting of the Douglas Adams item, but tailor it to the details for Benjamin Frey (linked here)? I think the descriptions as columns in the Douglas Adams example are easier to read. We'll be using this in our training (and anyone will be able to use it as well) so it's important to have it as an SVG so the text remains crisp and readable across devices and screen sizes.

Dear @Carnby: to clarify, for that first image, what kind of simplifying are you looking for?

@痛: No, it's not important to redraw the entire seahorse; fewer details and a more elegant SVG file suffice.--Carnby (talk) 18:15, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Two questions for the Enrico Berlinguer flag,

Would you show me proof to justify that Berlinguer's portrait is in the public domain?
During my search, I also ran into [50] that shows a small variation of the "arci" text. In the source you provided, the arci was just written as plain text in the bottom left corner of the flag. Which version would you consider more accurate / widely used? (Or I can just do both, I guess)

-- 痛 (talk) 02:16, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

@痛:

Pics shot in Italy with no artistic purpouses are protected for twenty years after their creation (check this template).
You can draw both versions of the arci logo (arci is a leftist cultural orgainization in Italy), but please, create also a version without any logo (there are some variations in actual flags).--Carnby (talk) 05:22, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

Looks like consequence of Commons renderer missing (or having different) fonts - Firefox displays everything properly. Widened canvas so nothing is clipped. Might be less than ideal solution, however. - Gabuxae (talk) 08:53, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

The SVG file uses font-family: Lato. There is a Google font with that name, which shows it is a sans-serif font. The Lato font is not on my system, so the font displays as a default serif font. SVG fonts should have similar fallback fonts that include a CSS generic font. So the file could have something such as font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif. The text anchor should also be chosen reasonably. The text should be centered rather than right adjusted; that prevents the text from being unbalanced with respect to the logo (4 characters on the left, but 5 characters on the right). If the text must be a specific length, then a text-length attribute can be specified, but that has additional issues, and librsvg does not support it. If the font appearance is an artistic requirement, then converting the text to curves may be appropriate. Glrx (talk) 14:41, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

@Gabuxae: Hi, do you know test.svg ?

yours, En rouge (talk) 00:17, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Unrelated, but I don't think that text is meant to be part of their original logo image, as I noticed in the website's source code that the image and the text belong to two different <div> tags. But if you decided the text is necessary, the Lato font has a font-weight of 300 (a "Light" weight). 痛 (talk) 04:16, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Request: As a common anti-capitalist graffiti that has multiple images even in the Wikimedia Commons itself, I think it could be useful to have a SVG version of it. --AnAkemie (talk) 17:13, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)

All of these photographs are derivative works with no licensing information about the original work. I suspect they are all copyright violations. I believe the artwork is above TOO. Glrx (talk) 14:32, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

@Glrx: As I understand, graffiti is kind of in a grey area because theoretically the author has rights over their art but at the same time it would be hard to enforce it due to the illegality of the act or because it is hard to prove they are the artist in these situations (COM:CB#Graffiti). The poster would be a different situation but it seems like it is a reproduction of a graffiti (the yellow poster image is from 2009, and the first graffiti image is from 2006 for example, meaning the poster most likely came after the graffiti).The fact none of these images have information of the original author makes it seem like authorship would be hard to prove. Also every image shown here has a slightly different version of the graffiti, with different time and locations, and there is probably other versions of the graffiti that have not been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, making it even harder for someone to claim authorship. Maybe someone could make a SVG version that mixes all the versions or make some slight artistic changes so no one could claim it is their graffiti specifically. AnAkemie (talk) 15:47, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

@AnAkemie:

I do not accept those arguments.

Graffiti has been copied, and the copier has been sued. Yes, a suit is unlikely, but that is not a good position. It is not OK for me to steal the apples on a tree because I believe the owner will not sue.

There are cases where graffiti has been appropriated, and the artist has come out and sued. IIRC, Ellen Degeneres was sued.

See, in particular, PCP

The graffiti argument also fails because the earlier images are spray-painted prints made from a stencil. The original stencil would not be illegal and could even have a copyright notice on it.

And it goes deeper. Internationalist Communist Tendency / Communist Worker's Organization provides the SVG for the stencil (https://leftcom.org/files/2010-07-08-capitalism-stencil.svg), but that SVG file is CC-BY 3.0, so it is not acceptable on Commons. The date of the SVG is after the earlier images, so there may be a freely licensed earlier version.

All the files should be deleted unless a free license is established.

"Some slight artistic changes" would still be a derivative work.

Glrx (talk) 19:17, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

My mistake. CC-BY 3.0 is an acceptable license on Commons. Glrx (talk) 21:01, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

@Glrx: Thank you for your answer. I have to admit I am ignorant on that matter, I am just reading pages on Wikimedia Commons and trying to interpret it, so I just assumed by COM:CB#Graffiti that everything related to graffiti would be allowed. I even asked on COM:VP/C, still waiting for an answer but I assume I will get an answer close to yours.

Since making a SVG of my request seems to not be so simple and even if it is actually allowed, there is already a SVG version with allowed license on the web, I think there is nothing more to ask for on here, so I am gonna put it as resolved. If the photographs of the graffiti or representations of it are allowed or not on Wikimedia Commons can be discussed in COM:VP/C specifically. AnAkemie (talk) 21:20, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

This could include mass uploading content to Commons, introducing chapters and user groups to new partners or helping them design projects. We have just started our first mass upload project on Wikimedia Commons and have uploaded more than 1.8 million SDC statements about Wiki Loves Monuments to more than a million files to get a greater impact from our events.

Now, we need your help! We want to express the essence of the hub through a logo that can be used both during the test phase and when the Hub hopefully is launched full-scale in the near future

You can find out more about the hub and the work we do here

The logo will be used on the hub portal as well as in internal and external communication.

When the competition ends, Wikimedia Sverige will pick and announce the winner of the competition. The winner will get to pick an item of their choice from the Wikipedia Store.

Please share your designs below in svg format and add them to Category:Content_Partnerships_Hub_logo_competition. May 16th is the last day to submit your design.

Many thanks

I didn't know how to visualize "Content" or "Partnerships", so I focused on the "Hub" part instead. :)

To encourage participation: If one of my designs gets chosen, the reward shall go to the runner-up. TilmannR (talk) 16:07, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Not a bad start for the logos. However, there will be a number of hubs in the end, so a generic hub logo probably won't be the best choice. - Fuzheado (talk) 12:32, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

@痛: these are great, if you have any other ideas please do post them :) John Cummings (talk) 18:13, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

@痛: and @TilmannR: thanks so much for your designs, we have decided to extend the deadline for another 10 days to encourage more contributions. Thanks again, John Cummings (talk) 12:11, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

I made a proposal which can have a lot of variations on the theme, I only uploaded 6 version, but as you see the ideas could be combined or changed if preferred. I chose to go with just a box to represent content since it can be almost anything. And this could be the package the content comes shipped in. Variations with one or three boxes (in two configurations). The single box is a bit cleaner, but the three illustrates that content is modular better. Then I borrowed the idea from TilmannR with spokes in the hub, trying to find an idea that could be generic for all hubs, where the actual hubs' logo goes in the middle. Obviously these are bit detailed so in very small sizes (a favicon for instance) I suggest dropping the spokes completely and in the tripple box versions the boxes could also be switched for simple hexagons.

En rouge (talk) 13:11, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

This is what I ment. Sorry if I was unclear. 2 files that have already been created (Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company Logo and Flag of Thesen's Steamship) can keep their current name. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 13:45, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

@Swiãtopôłk: I'm a filemover, I can rename them if you wish.--Carnby (talk) 16:39, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

@Carnby: Rename if that's not a problem. I did not think that the effect on Polbrt would be so dark. Use the color from the Polish flag of that time.

. Unfortunately, that dotted line at C&H looks bad. In this file, the graphics dealt with a similar problem with single-pixel, semi-diaphanous line

En rouge (talk) 18:22, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Question:

for your comment " (A rectangle with the proportions 10:17, the bottom bar is yellow, the star in the center is half the height of the flag.) ", what is the source?
instead of yellow is it not gold?

@Carnby and En rouge: When writing about the color change, I meant Polbryt, Thesen was good. I know Glidden & Williams has more images, but I would have to give a detailed description anyway. A rectangle with the proportions 10:17, the bottom bar is yellow, the star in the center is half the height of the flag. Nowhere is there any mention of the proportions, which are often very different depending on the picture. In one image, it appeared next to the flag of the united states, which is 10:19. G&W was a bit shorter so it had to be between 10:16 and 10:17. I chose 10:17 because in other pictures it seems to be very elongated. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 18:26, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

@Swiãtopôłk and Carnby: Great!

The flag on this letter give great information:

the star is centered
the color is yellow, not gold
your suggested proportions 10:17 seem OK (calculating with Gimp and this very little flag, the approximation I've is 10:17.5)

no problem of copyright, as the flag is only a simple composition of alphanumeric characters

En rouge (talk) 19:54, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

for #3:

@Swiãtopôłk: for #3, this flat flag exists already.

Do you need another aspect ratio?

En rouge (talk) 14:13, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

There should be more space between the side of the flag and the rhombus than between the top and the rhombus. Another problem is the shadow under the "B". Swiãtopôłk (talk) 16:38, 1 july 2022

@Swiãtopôłk: OK, but:

have you an aspect ratio for the flag?
have you an aspect ratio for the lozenge?
what background color is more appropriate, floppy flag 00, or flat flag 00?

I can not determine the exact proportions, it seems that the users themselves do not care about it. Same with the exact shade. If you expand a given file on the right and left by its frame width, it will be correct. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 08:11, 2 july 2022 (UTC)

En rouge (talk) 15:06, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

It seems they use it for more than ships, so I chose a more generic name. I know that a Viking can be treated similarly, but there I read about a more precise use of this flag.

Unfortunately, the colors are unknown. All information about the flag comes from such faded cards. My intuition tells me something similar to #54d5e9, #D01515

As for the proportion of the blue frame, the white area will be 1/3 the height of the rectangle. I concluded it after the Blue Peter looked like this. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 07:34, 13 july 2022 (UTC)

Chinese dragons on the South Vietnamese coat of arms

The current version with green Chinese dragons.
The colour on an official document.
The current blue version which isn't the correct shade of blue either.
Blue version

Article(s): [[]] Wherever it's (already) used.

Request

Details of your request go here… The main reason I'm requesting it to be overwritten is because of the file name and the fact that it's used within most Infoboxes about the (Second (2nd)) Republic of Vietnam. There already is a blue version, but it's the wrong colour. I pinged the original creator with this message:

"@Sodacan: , the Chinese Dragons are blue, please make it look more the flag that Greenknight Đại Việt showed above. Even the "alternative blue" colour from the edit war isn't the correct shade of blue, it's the same blue as the Chinese dragon on the flag of the Manchu Qing Dynasty."

But they haven't been online in a while and I have no idea how I can edit these colours on my mobile telephone.

Correct version

Article(s): w:Garda Síochána

Request: Please make corrections to svg files. The inscriptions on the Irish Police emblem contain several errors. The current artwork says Sarda Síochána. This is probably because the original artwork used an celtic G (Ᵹ), which at first glance may look a lot like an S. Letters in svg graphics are curves, different sizes and thicknesses.

Swiãtopôłk, ~~your request above contains a mix of English and Polish instructions. Can you elaborate your request in English?~~ Is the G letter the only thing that needs to be patched? -- 痛 (talk) 02:52, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

痛 Oh, sorry, I don't know how it happened and why I noticed the problem with the language earlier. Actually, all letters should be corrected, bold. Apart from G, N and H deserve special attention. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 07:29, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

@Swiãtopôłk: Just to make sure I understand correctly — only the texts on the "ring" need correction. The S needs to be changed to a G, and all the cursive writings need to be replaced by a thicker sans-serif font. 痛 (talk) 04:41, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Arberian2444, do you have official / reliable sources to show what their flags look like? --痛 (talk) 03:38, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

痛 It should be on the pages of the each article. The photos of the coat of arms takes you to a reliable source. If not there should be a description of the the coat of arms and hopefully where they got it from. I just need them these coat of arms to be made into banners.Arberian2444 (talk) 06:55, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

@Arberian2444: I can tell that all coat of arms are backed by reliable sources. My inquiry is just for the flags — I was searching online for things like "Arbanon flags", but all I got were "arbanon coat of arms" everywhere, with maybe a few fan-made flags here and there. --痛 (talk) 15:54, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

User:痛I Mean Its similiar what they did for the bosnian coat of arms someone turned them into a banner. I just want the same thing done for these coat of arms :). Because it would kinda be impossible for a banner to survive this long in real life to have evidence. Arberian2444 (talk) 17:23, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

@Arberian2444: Understandable. However, as you can see from the "flags made of ready-made elements" request below, one cannot always predict what a flag looks like from their coat of arms. While I can always draw a single-colored rectangle and put these bird animals in the middle, it is ultimately considered original research. I just did another research but still couldn't find any sources online... maybe some other graphists here who understand Albanian can do a better search through books. --痛 (talk) 23:33, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge: Warning: SVG invalid. I removed aria-label, which is unsupported. I uploaded a valid version.--Carnby (talk) 05:21, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

@Carnby and En rouge: Invalid SVG is not necessarily a bad thing. An aria-label is not "invalid" in the sense that it breaks SVG or that it is unwanted. Please do not remove them. The aria-* accessiblity labels are common in both HTML and SVG. The attributes are reasonable in SVG 1.1 documents, and they are a part of the SVG 2.0 draft specifications. See https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/struct.html#WAIARIAAttributes . Inkscape adds the attribute when it converts text to curves. A screen reader can then describe the curves as text. I like the idea of validating SVG files. It has helped me find mistakes such as misspelled, missing, or duplicated attributes. However, validation is not the last word; validation may complain about reasonable extensions such as ARIA labels, Inkscape layers, data-* attributes, or translation markup. Glrx (talk) 17:56, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

@Glrx: However the W3C Validator doesnt say it's invalid to use aria-label; it doesn't accept aria-label in that position. Is there a way to save aria-label and make SVG valid?--Carnby (talk) 07:36, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

@Carnby:

If I run the validator on the old file

run validator on old version

then the validator complains about aria-label on g elements.

Although the validator ignores RDF metadata and Inkscape extensions, it does not ignore ARIA extensions. It is OK to add aria-label to a g element. See g element] at Mozilla.

Also notice that the nu-validator is checking against SVG 1.1 rather than SVG 2.0. WMF is using SVG 1.1, so doing SVG 2.0 validation does not make sense. Some uses of refX and refY should be flagged as errors.

I do not know if there is a simple way to turn off the ARIA errors. In theory, one could add extension schemas to a validator, but I do not believe that is common in practice. In some sense, the SVG 2.0 spec should not mention ARIA because it is outside the scope of SVG. The SVG WG should not be interpreting what ARIA means. Similarly, HTML and SVG should be silent about the translate attribute, too. It makes more sense for the aria-* and data-* attributes to be in their own namespaces, but they are inherited from HTML, and HTML is not really namespace aware.

For me, the simplest course is to look at the validation errors and ignore the errors that are too strict. It's easy if there are only a few spurious errors, but it gets ugly when there are hundreds of i:knockout attributes.

Glrx (talk) 20:30, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

@Glrx: I have reverted the two files in which I deleted aria-label.

The error is the same: Attribute aria-label not allowed on SVG element g at this point.

<g↩     aria-label="M"↩     id="text9720-0"↩     style="font-size:26.6667px;line-height:125%;font-family:'DejaVu Sans';-inkscape-font-specificat…l';letter-spacing:0px;word-spacing:0px;display:inline;fill:none;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:0.25px">

Even "Lloyd’s Book of House Flags and Funnels", 1912, nomenclature does not mention the company. Some flags are visible on ship images, far far away at the horizon, but nothing as the given shape (only long, sharp triangles).

The given bitmap image above is from the cover of a match box; I don't know if it can be considered as a valid source... En rouge (talk) 00:12, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge: Sorry to write back today, but I forgot to save the links and had to look for them again. Unfortunately, in the case of companies from 100 years ago, it is impossible to avoid speculation. This type of flag is more a tool than a symbol, and is often enough to make them similar to each other. I have not found confirmation for this, but it seems to me that the long and sharp ones contain the names of the cities to which the ship is sailing.

Please let me know whether it's better just to leave this pointer in case someone would be able to work on it there, or whether I should close that one, and reopen it here.

Thanks, (ping, please) Mathglot (talk) 01:36, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mathglot: I can fully recreate this PNG in the SVG format to make any translation work easier. But given that France has a long history and that English is written left-to-right not top-to-bottom, this image shows in Wikipedia thumbnails better if oriented vertically instead. How would you feel about that? 痛 (talk) 01:35, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

@痛: Thanks for responding. An svg sounds great! I'm actually not planning to use a thumbnail in the article, but a page-wide image; see en:Draft:List of political systems in France for how that looks. This is a somewhat unusual usage of an image, but I think it works well in this case. I consider the diagram an integral part of the page content, and not just a teaser to click on and blow up to see more detail. (I've checked the draft in the mobile view gadget as well as from a smart phone; it generates a horizontal scrollbar, of course, but it looks fine.)

That said, I can see an argument for having a vertical rendering of it which might work flush right, but I'd use it at a size similar to the full-width example, so it might span the entire length of the article, depending how long it is. If a thumbnail works better on a vertical than a horizontal image, and we need to have a thumbnail version for technical reasons, is there a way of just showing part of the image, maybe via annotated image or similar? I don't want to double the work involved, but how hard would it be to have both versions, horizontal and vertical? It seems to me the horizontal image works well at the Draft (plus most timelines are horizontal, aren't they?) and after the Draft is released, I was planning to add the timeline to all the other articles in en:Category:Constitutions of France (and a few others), but perhaps other editors might prefer the vertical one in some cases?

By the way, the Draft is just that—a draft, so if you decide to take this on and want to play around with trials of different image versions in context, go ahead and edit the Draft to place any kind of image you want there, vertical or horizontal, finished or not, several at once to compare—it's all good. Thanks again, Mathglot (talk) 03:03, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge: For a second I thought we are stepping on each other's work 🤪. ~~It looks like your file name listed above may be incorrect?~~ --痛 (talk) 03:04, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Nevermind, I just noticed your uploads in test.svg. They look pretty good to me. Maybe you can replace the current one in en:Draft:List of political systems in France with yours? 痛 (talk) 03:18, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

@痛: Sorry, I didn't want to scratch your work (mine is not a problem, it was for test at first). It's why I haven't uploaded the drawing with their appropriate names (but uploaded to Test.svg, to be able to check rendering). And why I put the notice above. En rouge (talk) 13:43, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Oh, cool; nice to see this underway! Would the word 'First' fit in the caption which currently says '1st Rep.' (red; near the top) so it would be 'First Rep.'? If not, leaving it as is is fine. Thanks so much; excited to watch this take shape, it will be very useful on a whole raft of French constitutional and historical articles. Pinging Elinruby, because he'll enjoy this, I think. Mathglot (talk) 09:02, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mathglot and 痛: It's not a problem to write First Rep. (but your request, in (en) WP, was 1st Rep 🤭😃) En rouge (talk) 13:43, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Just noticed that that '1st Rep.' cell is kind of tall, so if vertical text works there, go for it. Come to think of it, I wonder if some of the really long cells would benefit from vertical text (in the vertical image) or increased horizontal spacing (in the horizontal image) so it can "own" the cell a bit better? Whatever looks right and good for the reader, is good. Mathglot (talk) 09:31, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mathglot: I don't understand your wish/requirement, can you describe with specific cell(s), text value and text layout: actual vs. required. En rouge (talk) 13:43, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Not really a requirement, was just thinking out loud while looking at the vertical image. Probably best just to leave it as is in the vertical layout above. Mathglot (talk) 07:17, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

I like what is being done, but here are some thoughts.

Multiline text is difficult to translate. For the horizontal layout, it might be simpler to put the text at an angle. For the general idea, see File:SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant.svg. It looks like most strings could then be one line, and they would not have the complicated stacking at the left edge. Some leaders may have to make some jogs to accommodate the font height.
The dots at the end of leader lines are confusing. They do not represent instants in time. Some of them line up will with dates (such as Charter of 1824), but others do not. The Constitution of 1804 lines up with 1809. The Constitution of 1870 dot hits at 1863 and the period ends at 1870 (w:1870 French constitutional referendum). I would get rid of the dots, and I would have the leaders touch nearer to their effective time. For example, Charter of 1830 leader at 1830 to start the w:July Monarchy.
When files are related, they usually share a base name. That keeps the files together in category listings and is a basis for renaming files. Consequently,

Instead of making a separate English SVG file, consider using SVG Translate. Yes, SVG Translate has problems, but it can do a reasonable job with single-line labels that have a lot of room. SVG Translate could add other languages, too. The original PNG is used on en, ga, and uk Wikis.

Glrx (talk) 19:04, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments, Glrx. Before I get to replying to your comments, just a point of philosophy first on collaboration on these images: basically, I don't want to lay down any strict "rules" about the design because I consider you guys the experts, and I trust you to come up with something pleasing and effective for the target audience. That said, maybe it's easier to do the technical part of image creation rather than also getting "stuck" with designing it as well, so I'm good with working with whatever method is easiest for you. I.e., if you want me to "specify", I will, but otherwise I'm good with you doing whatever you think works best. Try out different designs if you want; stack 'em all up one on top of the other in the Draft all at once if you want so we can compare them all. So, by the numbers:

I assume you're talking about the callouts (outside the image border). Not sure what you mean "difficult to translate" as the translations are all given already at the courtesy link. I agree that for horiz. layout, diagonals might be better. If the callouts that are now multiline become single line, would they increase the image height in horiz. mode? If the text is too long (e.g., the 1815 one is pretty long) we can probably shorten it with abbreviation or rewording; lmk if you need suggested shorter text for any callouts.
Agreed, dump the dots.
I'm fine with sharing the base name; I'm sure I can create a redirect in English and just use that in the Draft instead; or if that's a bad idea for some reason, then just stick with the French name with the en suffix.
I'm afraid I don't know anything about SVG translate so can't respond. (It sounds like this comment, maybe all of them, was directed more at the graphics folks.) Anyway, as long as we can define what we want the English text to be, any tool that gets the job done and makes it easier for you and/or follows general conventions or best practices here is fine with me.

Thanks for your suggestions (and keep them coming)! Mathglot (talk) 07:11, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

The artists here are wonderful volunteers. They are helping out, and they do a great job.

The long callout to me is "Constitution of 1852 (modified) Constitution of 1870". It does not sound like one event, so perhaps it should be 2 or more callouts.

The difficult to translate comment concerns many languages -- not just French or English. The diagram could be useful for many wikis. When looking at several languages, it is unlikely the line breaks will coincide. Glrx (talk) 14:13, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Glrx, Thanks; I will think about rewording & shortening "Constitution of 1852 (modified) Constitution of 1870"; I agree that's rather unwieldy. I understand about the line breaks not coinciding, because translation is not word-by-word replacement. Mathglot (talk) 23:14, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

I have a question for you: when you look at the diagram, does the '1780' date at the beginning imply to you that the Ancien Régime began in 1780? Because actually, the Ancien Régime began in 1589 (according to most historians; who date it to the accession to the throne of Henri IV). So, that '1780' tick mark is actually the last decade of a 200-year era. If you found that confusing or misleading, do you think it would be better if we changed the label inside the cell from "Ancien Régime" to "Ancien Régime (1589–1789)", to make it clearer that the '1780' tick is towards the very end of it? Maybe if we copied the fade-out idea after the 2022 tick mark and added a fade-in just before the '1780' tick, would that help? Mathglot (talk) 07:55, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

In the PNG version, it does suggest a start at 1780, but the SVG version has wonderful fuzzy edges at the start and finish. I also took the name "Ancien Régime" to go back further than 1780. Glrx (talk) 14:13, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mathglot, Glrx, and 痛:

Writing "Ancien Régime (1589–1789)" first appears a good solution to me, but it is not in accordance with all texts inside the ribbon (no date) – but, as it is not directly related to other texts (it is in a grey cell), this text can also be considered.
My proposal is to put a text outside the ribbon, as "Constitution ..." texts, but with grey line (instead of yellow) and text as "Royalty (1589–1789)". I do a try...

@Mathglot, Glrx, and 痛:

Please, have a look at my proposal hereabove at Test.svg (the former version is given for comparison) ; any comments are welcome (I know: there is a bug for "Premier Empire", and a lighter one on 1790 as a not wanted stroke above).
This version also embed a new representation: a stroke to assign a constitution applicable to a political regime duration.
Sorry, I edited the french version first...

Hi, En rouge, when I look at Test.svg I see a color test pattern in a square box with the word 'test' in huge font. Mathglot (talk) 19:40, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Sorry @Mathglot: I must give some information. In this same page, Test.svg, you must go down to the file history. En rouge (talk) 20:05, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mathglot and En rouge: I added some quick slanted text to En rouge's Test.svg design. Glrx (talk) 22:18, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Glrx, that's an improvement, I think. At least for some of the narrower boxes, like "Constitution de 1791", I think we need tiny connector lines from the slanted labels to the diagram border, otherwise it's not quite clear which diagram item it applies to. For example, does "Constitution de 1791" apply to the item where the extension of the centerline of the slanted text label would intersect the top of the diagram, or does it apply to the item that the first letter of the text label (the "C" of "Constitution") is sitting vertically above? Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 23:27, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mathglot and En rouge: quickly added leaders. Glrx (talk) 01:05, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Glrx, yes, a small fix, but a big improvement in clarity; the previous uncertainty is gone. Ah, "leaders", I knew there had to be a name for those lines. (I'm a jargon-o-holic; see here for some of my favorite words.) Mathglot (talk) 01:51, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge: I looked at your 18:44, 10 Aug. variant (legend for "Ancien Régime" + stroke), and it looks good. At first, I questioned whether it should be royauté or monarchie, but after reading up on it (e.g., here), I think you picked exactly the right word. What do you mean by: "a stroke to assign a constitution applicable to a political regime duration"? Mathglot (talk) 23:52, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

I think the vertical layout is worth keeping. Maybe it doesn't work well at en:Draft:List of political systems in France because there is a very wide table there and there's no room for it on mobile (and not really even in desktop view) but could still work on other articles.

copied this comment to § vertical layout in mobile view

Just so you know, the en:Draft:Charter of 1814 was created so that I could play around with the vertical image, and see if I could get a pleasing result by altering the image width to 110px for mobile view only, using something like [[File:Chronology of French Constitutions.svg|right|{{if mobile|110|220}}px]] but it did not work as intended. I've tried four or five alternatives using {{if mobile}}, but it seems to want to interpret the image before it interprets the more embedded "if" template, which is counter to my understanding of how template expansion works, so none of my approaches so far work. I'll come back to this, but need to get some other stuff done. Meanwhile, for my next attempts with this "if mobile" thing, I'm going to need (ideally) a one-pixel white or transparent image (i.e., basically a "no-image" case) so if you know of one, please lmk. Thanks, and really appreciating all the images and brainstorming on this. Mathglot (talk) 23:09, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

So far I've been unable to get {{if mobile}} to work. Instead, I embedded the vertical image in a div tag with class nomobile which suppresses it in mobile view, and this is working, so solves the problem. This can be seen by using mobile view while rendering Draft:Charter of 1814. Mathglot (talk) 04:36, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

There are three very narrow items where the font of the description collides with the yellow separators or borders on the cells. Can we try widening the cells a tiny bit to avoid collisions, even if it means stealing a pixel or two from adjacent cells which are fatter and can afford to give up some space? There are three of them: Première Restauration, Cent-Jours, and Republique decennale. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 04:08, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Courtesy link: multilingual SVG – 6:10, 15 Aug by Glrx ('may have bugs')

@痛, Glrx, and Mathglot: the timeline is about french constitutions,

but font-width are larger for regimes than for constitutions, this appears to be weird!

=> my perceptions:

- horz: as original png file (as constitutions must be directly read, rather than slanted text), reducing regimes's font-width to be lower than contitutions's ones;

- vert: same as horz above, but columns ordered as constitutions – regimes – dates (instead of dates – regimes – constitutions)

yours, En rouge (talk) 00:37, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

See also test.svg with slanted text @20°, and regimes's font size < constitutions's font size; this can even be improved... En rouge (talk) 01:35, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

En rouge, the term edit conflict is a technical computing term, not an editorial one, and doesn't imply any disagreement with anyone. Please see your talk page for an explanation. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 22:30, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

En rouge, this is tricky. You're not wrong that the diagram is about constitutions, and it's also true that the constitutions were instrumental in defining the changes of one regime to another. So, in that sense, you are right, and logically, since the constitutions are both the topic, and the driving factor they could be more central, larger font, and so on. I am tempted by your ideas, and would like to see where it leads us, at some point.

Nevertheless, I think trying to move the diagram in that direction right now is not the right approach, and I'd like to explain why:

Timelines – are almost always are organized by date (otherwise, they are not really "timelines", but something else. Exceptions exist; maybe this is even one of them; that would need some discussion.
Focus – this would be a major change in the central focus of the diagram, and I feel queasy about doing so—especially on the French diagram—without some significant buy-in by stakeholders (i.e., other editors interested in French history).
Timeliness – While I think it's an idea well worth pursuing, if we go down that road now, it might mean additional delay in getting an English translation of the horizontal timeline that could be used in the Draft, which was my original reason for coming here, and remains my top priority.

The original idea of only translating the cells and callouts is relatively simple in conception and implementation, and I feel remains a worthwhile initial goal. I'd like to get to that point first (consider it our "Everest Base camp") and then once we have that done, we can use that as a jumping-off point for other ideas, as further enhancements or evolution of the diagrams (which will also need the translated content). How does this sound to you? Mathglot (talk) 02:04, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

I've uploaded a multilingual SVG at File:Chronologie_constitutions_françaises.svg.

It apparently has some issues with the librsvg rendering engine. Some text is the wrong size, other text is the wrong color and not centered. Clicking through to view the SVG directly will display OK. I will try to find the bugs tomorrow. Commons:Commons SVG Checker.

I did not merge parts of the English timeline as requested at en.WP. It does not fit into the translation model, and I want the file to be translated into other languages that may distinguish the separate periods.

I do not know which license En rouge wants to use.

I also want to fix the left and right edges.

Glrx (talk) 06:32, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

@Glrx: , this is *very close* to what is needed at en-wiki, and could be okay just as is. You said you wanted to adjust or fix a few things, so I'll wait, but this is really close, now. Much of your comment goes over my head but I assume is meant for your GL colleagues. you called it a "multilingual SVG, it has a French name, and when I look at it, I see only English labels (which is what we need). The other stuff about librsvg, and other things and bugs, is beyond me, but I'll wait for your next version. Thanks for this one! (P.S.

@Glrx: it's up to you, either CC-0 (my initial will), CC-4 (Commons's default), or CC-3 as it is already. En rouge (talk) 00:08, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mathglot and Glrx: as written above, my last proposal is draft 2022-08-15:

slanted text @20°, more readable than text @45°
all texts on one line (constitutions, as well as regimes)
regimes in a font width lower than others fonts.

This give a .svg as suggested by Glrx En rouge (talk) 22:04, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

I always done proposals (in Test.svg) rather than uploading a reference file.

I was glad to exchange before doing such uploads, as this can lead to (Edit conflict). En rouge (talk) 22:09, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

I did the 45° so the text could start at a fixed y-coordinate; IIRC, I only had to bend one leader line. With the 20° slant, the lefthand text needs to start high to avoid overlapping the next line.

Although single line text is preferred, I'd like to use a larger font. That makes some parts readable at a small scale. I do like the notion of using fewer font sizes for the regimes (Directory seems much too large in the PNG). Although a smaller font does give the Constitutions more prominence, the size of some regimes (e.g., third Republic) seems to beg for a larger font.

Glrx (talk) 22:44, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

I have to agree with Glrx, here. I find both the font size changes and the positioning of words not an improvement. The 45° headers were very easy to read and understand, and the diagram fonts were legible at full screen width in the horizontal, as they are currently in the Draft. Flipping the font makes the regime captions completely unreadable (for my eyes) at full page width, and I can't tell what angled constitution callout applies to what cell. In addition, their vertical positioning above seems haphazard. I really don't think this is the direction we want to be going, at least, not without significant buy-in from French Wikipedia users interested in the topic; but as mentioned previously, that would be a significant effort. (In addition, please see your talk page for an explanation of the technical computing term edit conflict.) Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 23:18, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Serif, or sans-serif

Hate to be a pest, but ~~would it be difficult to switch the SVG from Times Roman (or whatever that serif font is now) to a sans serif font, like the one in File:Chronologie constitutions françaises.png?~~ The sans serif seems easier to read in the Draft, in the full page-width horizontal format. Mathglot (talk) 02:10, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Never mind; looks like you already did this, as I can see sans serif here. I must have gotten confused with another version. Mathglot (talk) 02:18, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Okay, now I see why I was confused: when I clicked the links in the technical section below at the bullet items for English and French, it was a serif font, and even wen I go to File:Chronologie_constitutions_françaises.svg it's serif (if I look very closely at the tiny print on the landing page) but when I click that diagram I get a very large, zoomed image, and it's sans-serif. That last one is the one I think is almost ready to go, with whatever fixes you said you wanted to do (plus the merge issue below; details forthcoming). Mathglot (talk) 02:37, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

The SVG specifies sans-serif fonts:

font-family:DejaVu Sans, sans-serif;

When you look it at the SVG in a browser, the regime text is sans-serif, white, and centered; the constitution text is blue and reasonable size.

Using the PNG links above, the regime text is serif, black, and left-aligned; the constitution text is black and small. The PNG files are rendered by the old version of librsvg that is not interpreting the CSS commands as expected. (This may be an instance of the Phab:T68551 bug first reported in 2014.) That is why I need to do some workarounds.

This section is about whether to merge cell "Consulat décennal" with "Consulat", or keep them separate. For questions about how to translate "Consulat décennal" into English, see the section on Text translations.

Regarding the unmerged cells issue:

I did not merge parts of the English timeline as requested at en.WP, [as it] does not fit into the translation model

That's fine, but then we have to distinguish the duplicate labels so we don't have 'Consulate' twice and 'Second Republic' twice. I will get back to you on values for the second cell, in each case. Mathglot (talk) 02:26, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

I've been thinking about the "merged cells" problem, and in particular, about the two cells labeled "Consulate". I think I understand now why you said it would be difficult in the Translation software: you meant, that it would be difficult for the cells to be merged in English, but not in French (or vice versa), right? The motivation for merging them was because when I searched for "Consulat decennal", I couldn't find anything in reliable sources after 1970; most references were 100 years old or older. Now, I think "consulat decennal" should be removed entirely, and in order to get support for this, I have started two discussions:

en:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject France#Consulat décennal (in English)
fr:Discussion Projet:France#Consulat décennal – (in French)

Hopefully we'll get some quick responses and can remove that cell. If not, I'll provide translation for it (that's how I first found there was little sourcing for it, namely, when I tried to find references for it in English sources). Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 04:31, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm looking hard for sources for Consulat decennal and finding little to nothing. Here, if you want to try:

Find sources: "Consulat decennal" – books · scholar · JSTOR · news · newspapers · _Wikipedia · _Commons · _{free images}

If we don't get a strong consensus at those discussions for keeping it, I think we can just remove it from the diagram. Mathglot (talk) 05:13, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Text translations: Consulat decennal, Year VIII, etc.

English may transliterate the French names:

Glrx (talk) 05:21, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Yes, and the translation for "Consulat decennal" would be "Decennial consulate" (not "French Consulate", which refers to the larger period encompassing both the "Consulat" and "Consulat decennal"; that was the whole reason to merge those two). Google books gives some results for "decennial consulate", but practically nothing newer than 1910. I respectfully decline to accept anything in Wikidata as the least bit reliable. Which doesn't mean English sources don't ever use the Revolutionary Calendar; they do. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to using expressions for callouts in the English version like, "Constitution of the Year X", I just thought "Constitution of 1802" is easier to understand for most Anglophone users.

As far as how English reliable sources handle this question, I haven't investigated in detail, but it looks to me like there are as many uses of "Constitution of 1802" in English as there are of "Constitution of the year X". Additionally—and this is not a proof but it is suggestive—of books found in the second group (i.e., "year X") almost every one *also* gives "1802" in order to explain it; whereas of the books in the first group ("1802"), only a small number give the longer term with the revolutionary year.

If we get to choose the translated text for each language version, then I would choose "Constitution de l'An X" for French, and "Constitution of 1802" for English. I just feel that both clarity and sourcing supports the Gregorian years in English (even if it does not for French); perhaps I'm mistaken. In any case, if anyone here disagrees, I won't fight it, as I don't feel that strongly about it. My main concern is that readers looking at the English version should have the best chance of understanding it as possible; and the same thing goes for the French version, of course. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 07:48, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mathglot and Glrx:

names for constitutions / 1: I think it' better to follow english WP names, i.e. en:Constitution of the Year VIII or X or XII
- The same naming, with years from fr:calendrier républicain, is used in (fr)fr:Constitution du 22 frimaire an VIII, (es)es:Constitución del Año VIII, (pt)pt:Constituição do Ano VIII
- but not for (it)it:Costituzione francese del 1799 or (nl)nl:Franse grondwet van 1799.
names for constitutions / 2: I think that, for clarity, the Gregorian calendar years can be also provided, e.g. Constitution of the Year VIII (1799), even with some ornament Constitution of the Year VIII (1799) or Constitution of the Year VIII (An VIII-1799).
décennal: a true translation is decennial (décennal is a duration of ten years, as decennial seems to be).
- Rather than "consulat décennal" you can search for "consulat de dix ans" or the translation "ten years consulate".
- You can read (in french) the entire Constitution du 22 Frimaire An VIII on the web site of the official french Constitutional Council (Conseil constitutionnel).

And for the consulat décennal please see "Article 39.", first paragraph of the chapter Titre IV - Du gouvernement; The first sentence "Le gouvernement est confié à trois consuls nommés pour dix ans" ("the government is given /to the authority/ to three consuls nominated for a ten years duration"): i.e. "pour dix ans" = "décennal" = "for ten years" ("ten years duration") = "decennial"

The consulat décennal didn't last ten years, as ~~Napoléon~~Bonaparte (the name "Napoléon", the first name of "Napoléon Bonaparte" –or only Bonaparte– became his official full name at the beginning of the 1st empire) changed the consulate to a consulat à vie, or consulat viager i.e. the consul stay at the head of the consulate till the consul's death.
The consulat à vie (his lifetime consulship?) didn't last to the death of ~~Napoléon~~Bonaparte. ~~Napoléon~~Bonaparte changed the consulate to an Empire, changing his role from consul to Emperor.

En rouge (talk) 15:21, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't agree, but since there isn't consensus, let's just go with Revolutionary calendar names you prefer. I remain unconvinced, but the Commons Graphics Lab isn't the right place to debate the niceties of this; we can do that elsewhere, such as the discussion here. The one thing I will say, is please don't base any decisions on how English WP does it; that is not a valid reason, as Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 03:40, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

technical Q&A about Commons, imaging, etc.

Explanations about certain technical issues not directly related to the workshop request

Courtesy link: File:Chronologie constitutions françaises.svg‎
Courtesy link: COM:GVP#Adding translations to multilingual SVGs
Courtesy link: Translate tool direct link for File:Chronologie_constitutions_françaises.svg

[Above], you called it a "multilingual SVG, it has a French name, and when I look at it, I see only English labels (which is what we need). The other stuff about librsvg, and other things and bugs, is beyond me, but I'll wait for your next version. Thanks for this one! (P.S. I added a 'courtesy link' top; can you verify this it the one you are talking about?) Mathglot (talk) 10:20, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

The SVG is multilingual. If you open the SVG in your browser, then it will display the language that best matches your preference (in this case, English). A typical French user would see French text. When MediaWiki displays an SVG image, it localizes it to the desired language and renders a PNG for the wiki page.

You can go to File:Chronologie constitutions françaises.svg‎. There will be a "Render this image in (language dropdown box)". You can select a language and click "GO" to see that language version. You see a larger version by clicking on a PNG size. Here are some direct links to the PNG thumbnails:

For several years, we have wanted WMF to upgrade the software that does the SVG to PNG conversion. Later versions of the software have fixed many bugs, and there is also an alternative renderer that may be better. Right now, the current SVG file has rendering problems. I want to identify the problems, and I will need to work around them.

BTW, a permalink captures the state of the text at an instant, but it does not capture the state of the images at that instant. The transclusions (images, templates, file histories) will be the current rather than the historical values.

Glrx (talk) 18:45, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Glrx, (I've refactored this side-discussion on technical points of imaging and commons to this new subsection from the previous one) Thanks for that explanation. I've added 'courtesy links' in an attempt to keep organized, and understand what we are talking about, when someone says, 'I just uploaded XYZ, you can see it here...', but if those courtesy links are not helpful (whether because they always transclude current versions, or for whatever reason) then they should not be there. I see from your bulleted links that there is a better way to create links for specific language versions; I'll try to update the courtesy links according to your model. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 20:45, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

@Glrx: is there any file naming convention to tell it's a multiligual / international file (i.e. avoiding someone create a xxx-(de) or a xxx-(zh) file)? En rouge (talk) 23:57, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

No, there is not a common naming convention. Usually someone uploads a file with just a base name (e.g., the original PNG for this topic). If that file is translated to another language and saved under a new filename, the langtag (e.g., en, fr, ru, zh-hans) gets appended to the base name. The original file is not renamed to have an fr suffix. That works for both vector (SVG) and bitmap (PNG, JPEG) formats.

There is a common convention that substantially similar derivative files should share a base name. When translating a file from one language to another, the base name is not changed. If similar files do not follow that convention, they may be renamed. See COM:RENAME reason #4.

If an SVG file is switch translated, it usually keeps the original base name because the translations overwrite the original file.

Some users will upload an initial file with a langtag suffix to identify the language. If translations are subsequently added to that file, there will be an unusual situation where File:base name en.svg covers more languages than just English. If the file is widely used, someone may put in a rename request to drop the langtag suffix.

Some files have adopted a mul or i18n suffix, but that is not very common. Also, an older practice was to use i18n for files that used numbers as labels. Such files were not "internationalized" but they were more suitable for many languages. The figure caption would then map the numbers to the appropriate words for that wiki.

Generally, if someone makes a good SVG illustration, then several wikis will use it. As a result, the French and Italian wikis may be using an SVG with English labels. If subsequent French and Italian switch translations are added to the SVG file, then the French and Italian wikis will automatically start using the French and Italian labels. If separate SVGs are used for each language, then the French and Italian wiki pages would need to be edited to point to the new filenames.

Using switch element translations has some issues, but it was easy to do and has worked well for many files.

Glrx (talk) 01:38, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

OK, for the common practice. But I was questioning to avoid such multiple files. If the translation is not already done, and I don't know the file is multi-language, I will create a "base_file_name XX.ext" with XX being my language. It was the purpose of my question: knowing if a (almost)standard naming convention is defined. You respond with the (mul) suffix. In my opinion (i18n) is not very comprehensive! Some ideas I've was (mult) –instead of "mul", as 3 char can be supposed to be a language name–, or (intl)...

And, as this "Chronologie_constitutions_françaises.svg" internationalized file is a new one, I think it's rather a good idea to have a name that implies it's not necessary to create a new file, but to translate textual content. En rouge (talk) 14:08, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Quick note. The suffix mul was used because it is the IETF langtagg for "multiple languages". That would conform to using a IETF langtag suffixes (IETF langtags are the language identifiers used in SVG). See https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry

{{Language}} and {{Igen}} will suggest adding translations rather than making a new file, but they are not very prominent and may not be understood by typical editors. How switch translations work is not obvious. In addition, editors who try out SVG Translate often confront confusing situations where SVG Translate refuses to translate the file or where SVG Translate accepts the user's translations but they never display.

Glrx (talk) 15:07, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

So, there is a pseudo-standard for file naming with an internationalized content: "base_file_name (mul).ext"! OK, finally, I get the answer (and (i18n) is out of scope).
As "Chronologie constitutions françaises.svg" is an internationalized and new file, is it not preferable to name it "Chronologie constitutions françaises (mul).svg"?
As "Chronologie constitutions françaises" is a french file name, derived from a french PNG, I think it will be perhaps better to have default text language as french. En rouge (talk) 15:41, 16 August 2022 (UTC) AND En rouge (talk) 16:48, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Although some files have used base name mul.svg, it is not a common practice. The common progressions is an editor creates a file, that file is used on several language wikis, and then translations are added to the file (which only has a base name).

File:Chronologie constitutions françaises.svg is a French filename derived from the French PNG. I used French as the default language. If you go to the File: page, select "(default language)", and click GO, you will get French labels. That's the right result.

However, that is not how MediaWiki defaults the language. Unfortunately, MediaWiki is biased toward English. For example, if you add the SVG file to a page on the ru.Wiki, MediaWiki will display English labels rather than the SVG's default (French) labels. If MediaWiki can match a langtag, then it runs the rasterizer with that langtag. If it cannot match the language, then it runs the rasterizer with the langtag set to en. Consequently, an SVG file will only display its default text if it does not have English text. File:Chronologie constitutions françaises.svg has en, so it will display English labels.

For me, the semantically correct option is to default to und rather than en; that would force the default language and treat all languages equally. Pragmatically, the change could be a disaster. Many switch translated SVG files do not have a default clause, so they would display no labels.

Glrx (talk) 18:19, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Glrx, Is this already in the Phab link you posted earlier (I subscribed to it already), or is this a different issue? Can you post the phab link if it is a different one, so I can follow it? Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 21:43, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm not aware of any Phabricator item for choosing und over en. English was a conscious design decision. Only recently the display of (default language) was fixed (if you selected (default language) on the File: page, you got English instead). The code that would be changed has other, more important, problems. That code is also critical, so modifications are done very cautiously. Glrx (talk) 22:27, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

I worked around the major librsvg rendering issues. Only troubling issue right now is the DejaVu Sans font has a condensed stretch, but it is not being selected.

It's OK to use SVG Translate on the file now. En rouge has already added a Spanish translation.

Glrx (talk) 21:06, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Glrx Thanks! I'll check out the tool, and see if I can add another language. Mathglot (talk) 04:01, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Glrx, Ran into a problem: was going to do German or Dutch, but neither one is in the list. How do I add languages that aren't there? Mathglot (talk) 04:15, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

The lefthand dropdown box has the languages that currently exist in the file. The tool allows you to select any one of those languages as the source language.

Use the righthand dropdown box to select your target language. There are dozens of languages. A quick way to get to German is to enter "de" into the search box. For Dutch, use nl.

Glrx (talk) 04:29, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Glrx That worked, thanks. I have an issue with translation of "Second Empire", which shows up on one line, but the German translation is too long to fit between the left and right borders. Can we fold "Second Empire" into "Second<br />Empire"" so I can translate the words separately into German (and other languages)? If not, there's a workaround available if necessary, because "2." means "Second" in German, but that wouldn't match the style of any of the other "Nth Empire" and "Nth Republic" captions. Mathglot (talk) 05:31, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

I added de, nl, ca, it. Some of the Dutch labels don't quite fit, like the first red one at 1790. Didn't really get a chance to check the others, will look at them tomorrow. Mathglot (talk) 08:20, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mathglot: Second Empire is now two lines. Glrx (talk) 18:45, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Glrx, thanks. Do I have to purge a page somewhere, get rid of cookies, or wait for some batch file to catch up before I can upgrade the translations? I'm at https://svgtranslate.toolforge.org/File:Chronologie_constitutions_fran%C3%A7aises.svg with dropdowns 'Default' to 'Nederlands'; the line which used to say 'Second Empire' (first column) now says just 'Second' and retains the previous translation ('Tweede'), but there is no line below it for 'Empire'. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 21:00, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Also, how do I force a label to 'blank' (empty)? Some two- or three-word expressions ('Monarchie de' / 'juillet') are only one in German or Dutch (Julimonarchie). What I did for Dutch, was place Julimonarchie in the first label, and no-break space ( ) in the second label, but apparently it didn't work, and the translate program replaced the blank label with the original French, and so now Dutch has this: Julimonarchie / Juillet. How do I blank that second label? Would an ideographic double-width space (U+3000, see it here: ⟶　⟵) work? Mathglot (talk) 21:10, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faZiS1CYZs0 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ5OJ803JgE

I misplaced the second line of the default language, so SVG Translate would only offer one line. I believe I have fixed that now. I need to give SVG Translate 10 minutes to clear its cache.

A nbsp should work, but it would disappear if the code does a compatible decomp. For right now, I would just add a hyphen. That's what I did for Chinese.

Now I've noticed that the display for the default language is broken. The regimes are showing in black, uncentered, text. Simple stuff should work, but it apparently does not.

Glrx (talk) 21:49, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Glrx, yes, I see the "Empire" second line now (and even the translation, Keizerrijk, came back, unless you added that), so that looks fixed now. Ah, the dust-mote hyphen; I'll do that. If you find a better workaround, please let me know. Or, since it's inside the box, maybe I'll try a period, or something. Mathglot (talk) 23:59, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Status summary, conclusion, and possible follow-up

Courtesy link: File:Chronologie constitutions françaises.svg‎

@Glrx and En rouge: I think we are done, but I just wanted to check in with you both about the status of this request, to see if there are still any issues you wish to address on your end before we declare it officially "done" (at least, for now).

It looks to me that the version of 20:36, 16 August 2022 satisfies the original "create English version of the timeline" request in my original post, and so afaic we are done. Actually, it goes well beyond that: by converting it to an svg, it has made possible the easy introduction of other language versions as well (as shown by subsequent uploads with additional language data), and that is a big win that will have immediate benefits to articles in numerous other Wikipedias. I'm very appreciative of this.

So, as far as I am concerned, the original request is satisfied, and therefore I think we are done. Glrx, you previously mentioned some glitches in libraries and/or bugs or issues like the DejaVu Sans font that were causing you trouble; are these resolved to your satisfaction, or do you need to attend to anything before we declare it done? En rouge, same question. From some of the translations I added, I can see some niggly little problems with the form of translated text (Dutch or German text can be longer, and bump into boundaries) but I consider these minor issues that should not stop us from declaring this project completed.

Even if we are "done", that doesn't mean there aren't outstanding issues that could be addressed in a future request. Some of these have been raised already and are being discussed at en:WT:FRANCE, but I think they should be considered as a question for some future upgrade to the diagram, and should not stand in the way of declaring it "done" at this time. Your thoughts? Mathglot (talk) 20:11, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mathglot and Glrx: My last request (which I just done) is to put the results not at the top, but at the end of the full section!

(I think it's better than interleaving source/result at the top).

Otherwise, I've nothing to add. As written elsewhere, I given up on file modification, I given up on names suggestions.

OK for me, up to you,

yours, En rouge (talk) 20:49, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) I was also moving the gallery to the bottom at the same time as I created the section ToC, but had an edit conflict, so had to redo it. Mathglot (talk) 20:54, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Forgot to also ping 痛 in case there are any issues for you before we close this. Maybe you'd like to add Chinese labels, then we could replace the old diagram currently at zh:法國憲法 (and maybe at other Chinese articles)? Would it be worth adding a link from File:法国宪法年表，自大革命以来有关法国政体与宪法.gif to the new file? Mathglot (talk) 21:04, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mathglot and En rouge: (e/c)

First, En rouge, as always, did a fabulous job improving the PNG. Using gradients is genius. I do not know the subject, so I cannot comment sensibly on the text.

Some tweaks remain, but they would not hold up closing the task. The condensed font on Commons is significantly wider than the font on my laptop. Consequently, some English text overflows the bounds. Reducing the font size or increasing the height of the timeline may be appropriate. I can also look at some of the other text that overflows. Right now, the right edge of overflowing text is buried underneath the next rectangle. Most of the information is getting through.

Chinese presents a host of problems. Chinese is not written at a 90° angle; instead it is written vertically. WMF's SVG renderer does not do vertical text correctly, and it cannot do the supporting CSS either. See the green text in File:SVG test vertical.svg.

A sad limitation of SVG 1.1 is that it does not have text boxes. That would be the best way to handle multiline text.

Glrx (talk) 22:00, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

That reminded me that the issue of the vertical svg is still pending, although I guess that is a separate file—right?—so still wouldn't hold up closing this request even if not done. Nevertheless I wanted to give User:痛 a chance to weigh in on the vertical file so we know if it is still viable, abandoned, in progress, or what the plans are. We can always open a separate discussion about it, after this one closes. There's a practical reason for my question: if the vertical one is not going to be used, then there's no point adding translations for it, so it would be good to know. Mathglot (talk) 22:12, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Feel free to close it, as at the current stage I have lost track of what's happening here 🤦‍♂️. Yes I can add Chinese translations to the horizontal ones with the SVG translation tool. --痛 (talk) 01:41, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

@Glrx: just spotted one very minor glitch: there seems to be a stray hyphen or en dash sitting all by itself above the diagram, to the right of the callout for 'Charter of 1815'. I thought it was a speck of dust on my screen and tried to scratch it off, until I expanded the diagram to max size and saw it was a dash or hyphen. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 21:15, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mathglot: (e/c) I put the hyphen in to avoid a possible bug with SVG Translate. That translation is two lines, but the second line is empty. IIRC, SVG Translate will delete an empty line when it examines the file, and then it will refuse to translate the text later because the number of lines do not match. There is a reason for my madness. Glrx (talk) 21:57, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

@Glrx: Ha ha, thanks for that! So, my dust mote is evidence of your SVG-Translate-workaround-madness. Would a   or a {{Zwsp}} work by any chance? Also, is there a place to add hidden comments in the file, so that others who come after won't be mystified by it, and maybe introduce problems by removing it in their incomprehension? Mathglot (talk) 22:04, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mathglot: The right thing to do is to fix SVG Translate so it does not delete the line. I also need to check if it a problem; it may have been fixed. All things considered, there are more significant problems with SVG Translate and MediaWiki's SVG rendering. Right now, Commons cannot distinguish simplified and traditional Chinese. Glrx (talk) 22:15, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Omg... okay, that is truly a serious problem. I won't worry about the dust mote anymore. Mathglot (talk) 22:19, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

@Glrx: Can you add all the relevant Phab tickets as links at the top of this section? I'd like to sign on to all of them. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 05:50, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Let's wait a few days just to see if any issues crop up, and if there's nothing significant and no objections, I propose we close the ticket on 22 August. @痛, En rouge, and Glrx: In case I don't get the chance later, I just wanted to say what a pleasure it was to interact with all of you, and to collaborate on this graphics request. Not only was the original request fulfilled, but it went beyond that, and allowed us to add the diagram to more than fifty articles on nine Wikipedias! A great improvement to the encylopedia(s). Thanks, everybody! Merci, and shih-sheh, too. Mathglot (talk) 05:50, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

I guess the one open issue for me, is, what is the status of the vertical timeline? Are we planning to release this? If so, I would consider using it for some of the articles in en-wiki, and maybe other languages. Mathglot (talk) 09:10, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

You can leave messages on my talk page or start a new thread under a different headline. I generally linger around Commons during weekends and can help it out as long as it is within my technical capability. 痛 (talk) 15:59, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Issues with Chinese translations

I have added the Chinese translations (two variants: zh-cn and zh-tw) to the file. It mostly works except for two small caviats:

zh-tw appears to be overriding zh-cn. When there were only zh-cn translations, the SVG worked fine; but as soon as I added the zh-tw translations and previewed the rendering result, both Chinese variants got rendered in the zh-tw language.
In Chinese, we like to write text vertically rather than spinning the entire string 90 degrees. The resulting text is still readable, just not very conventional.

Other than that, everything else works well. No text clipping, overflowing, etc. 痛 (talk) 15:28, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

current WMF rendering. Look at blue Chinese text. (The green text needs CSS attribute selector support.)
an updated version of the renderer puts the text in the wrong place (too low)
a different renderer does the blue Chinese text correctly

@痛:

The WMF SVG renderer only matches the first subtag (zh of zh-cn), so it will display the first Chinese text that it encounters (Phab:T154237). To fix the problem, WMF needs to update librsvg (Phab:T193352, Phab:T265549) and fix MediaWiki to use the new version.
The WMF SVG renderer does not do vertical Chinese correctly. See the blue text in File:SVG test vertical.svg. An update to librsvg fixes part of this problem. See File:SVG test vertical librsvg.png.

Glrx (talk) 17:18, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

I see. Thank you for the very detailed explanation! 痛 (talk) 01:00, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Challenging and intellectually amusing...

Request taken by 痛 (talk)

23:25, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

trigger enabler
trigger lever

@Noha307: Please see the two images above. I had to break those down into two separate stages — one for the trigger enabler and another for the trigger lever — because there are a lot of moving parts involved here. I also re-arranged the original layout to make it easier to understand. --痛 (talk) 17:12, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

@痛:

They are wonderful images, but they do not quite show how the mechanism works.

The enabler GIF. Pulling the enabler ring to the left rotates the bellcrank but it does not move the red trigger link. The horizontal push rod is rigid, so moving the bellcrank must move the red trigger link. Compare to the other GIF that moves the red trigger link every time CAM follower rises and moves the bellcrank. The original PNG is misleading about the enable direction. Pulling ring to the left is disengaged (gun cannot fire because red trigger link rides above blue firing link).

The firing GIF does not show the trigger in action. When trigger is not pressed, the red trigger link moves back and forth, but it is above and therefore does not push the blue firing link and the gun does not fire. When the pilot presses the trigger, the red trigger link rotates down and can therefore push the blue firing link.

There should also be a little space between the red trigger link and the blue firing link. The red trigger link needs to rotate freely during most of the cycle.

Glrx (talk) 17:59, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

@Glrx and Noha307: I have made some changes to both diagrams. Is it now closer to what you are looking for? --痛 (talk) 21:28, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

@痛:

Enabling GIF. The blue firing block is too far to the left. It should be in the same position as the non-firing position for the firing GIF. The mechanism is such that if the pilot pulls on the trigger when enabled, the gun is firing. While firing, if the pilot pulls on the enable ring to disable shooting, he will fire the gun and possibly put a hole in his propeller.

Firing GIF. The image does not show what happens when the propeller does three revolutions while the trigger is not depressed. The bend in the enable line should not move; it is not part of the pushrod mechanism. It is either a string that goes slack when the crank rotates anticlockwise or it is a bicycle control cable that slides through the crank. I will watch one of the videos again.

The spring on the red trigger link needs the bottom end to be anchored to the frame.

Glrx (talk) 22:18, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

It looks like a little of both. It's a bicycle control cable but it goes slack and also pushes back. The inner cable bends slightly in the first video. Glrx (talk) 22:57, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

I have made a few updates. The software I am using is unable to change the vector shape in that fashion, unfortunately. I am unable to make the cyan cable go slack. -- 痛 (talk) 21:55, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

@痛: Thanks for taking on this project! I was glad to see you found the work interesting! World War I aviation is not my particular area of expertise, but I made a post on WikiProject Aviation asking for some assistance.

One question: Any reason that the "enabler" version ended up smaller and with fewer frames than the "lever" version?

@Glrx: Thanks for your help explaining the firing sequence.

I should note that it is my understanding that there were different approaches to the problem during the war and this resulted in different mechanisms. The version in the original file is apparently the one designed by Anthony Fokker. So some videos like that of a Kauper-type system on YouTube may not be applicable. –Noha307 (talk) 17:08, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

For the image quality questions: I will re-export and adjust the image frame rate, but the sizing is a bit tricky for me to control. I am using Figma, a software traditionally meant to design user interfaces and not vector animations. After setting up the prototype, I had to hack everything by recording my screen and convert things from video to GIF... I will try my best to match them in my subsequent uploads, but I cannot guarantee to make them look exactly the same size. -- 痛 (talk) 19:45, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

I just took a look at the enabler file and it looks much better, thank you! –Noha307 (talk) 17:55, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

@Glrx and Noha307: Are there more changes needed? Shall we close this request & mark it as complete? 痛 (talk) 21:26, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

@痛: As far as I can tell, it looks good. The only other improvement I can come up with would be to combine the two stages into a single animation with an inset or fade out of some sort, but I think that's a bit too much to ask. So, yes, in my opinion you can go ahead and mark it as complete. –Noha307 (talk) 23:46, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Static v. Animated

Oh, no! Please revert/dump these changes. Per Wikipedia's image use policy, "Inline animations should be used sparingly; a static image with a link to the animation is preferred unless the animation has a very small file size. Keep in mind the problems with print compatibility." If someone wants a magic animation, please do it as a separate file and leave this one well alone.

Not helped by some smart nested-braces unscrewing tool screwing my nested braces. )

@Steelpillow: No changes have been made to the original static image. The animations are in a separate file.

I do want to say that this is one case where an animation will be very beneficial to reader understanding. The situation is comparable to the use of the rotary engine on the eponymous article. –Noha307 (talk) 17:40, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

I second Noha307. If an animated diagram exists somewhere, there would not have been this many conversation exchanges above... there would have been way less confusion from my side. Is there a way to print the static version while showing the animated diagram on a web browser by using HTML classes like "no-print"? 痛 (talk) 21:10, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Request: Please add vectorized versions of these flags. This time I gave the names

@Swiãtopôłk: Please for Coopérative de Transport Maritime et Aérien (CTMA) and the copyright issue, let us know En rouge (talk) 20:38, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge: You can make it, it should not meet the threshold of originality in Canada. By the way, I had not noticed before that the flag has a different version of the logo than the one provided in the article [92]. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 21:57, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

@Swiãtopôłk: OK, but the proposed flag sample is not sufficient to get the appropriate design, as this will lead to a new, created design.

Uncertainties are:

star appearance – two options exist, aligned branches vs. circumflex branches –
outer outline – two options again, equal left/right height vs. left height less than right height –

And I can't find another photo...

Moreover, I found an alternative flag design (you can zoom into the picture).

En rouge (talk) 21:24, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge: I am also not able to find much reliable information, but I am sure that the outline resembling the chimney of the ship is higher on the "a" side. The photo clearly shows an equal star that does not touch the circle, so stick with it. The proportions of the flag resemble Canada, which makes sense as flags with similar proportions look nice side by side. An alternate flag shows this logo, part of it is non-free graphics with complicated shading. I hope I have answered all your questions. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 22:57, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

@Swiãtopôłk: as written above, about an alternative flag design,

this becomes a reality...!

Using maps.google.com, to look for Coopérative de Transport Maritime et Aérien settlements, I browsed associated private photos. And this alternative flag design appears to be the flag in use.

The proposed photo of the flag, from Commons: Drapeau du groupe CTMA.JPG:

, is dated 2011-08-22 (uploaded 2013-06-07).

Found photos (from maps.google.com) are dated 2016-08 to 2021-08: [93], [94], [95], [96] and [97]

The only old flag (Drapeau du groupe CTMA.JPG) was found in a photo (dated 2019-08): [98].

What are your thinkings? Yours, En rouge (talk) 21:57, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge: I'd rather just leave a description ,,The flag fell into disuse in the second half of the 2010s and has been informally replaced by a copyrighted projector,,. The big problem with this topic is that the company doesn't really care about its flags and doesn't leave too much information. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 19:28, 11 july 2022 (UTC)

Atlas of the Munsell Color System

Scanned copy of work

Article(s): s:Index:Atlas of the Munsell color system.djvu

Color realignment of scans

The colors in this are yellowed/faded. However, I've found that at some point certain tones in Munsell's system were formally defined, so it should in the theory be possible to use the information in this work, coupled with some formally defined 'renotation' data, to determine a color correction that can be applied to these (and other scans).

I appreciate that this is a long-term request, and may need a semi-expert to figure out the relevant correction factor(s) to be applied.

(In some other fields there is the concept of a 'crib'. I am wondering if this can be approrpiately corrected, Commons would have a 'color crib' which could be used to help color shift other images, requested for retouching.

Additional Notes:

I'm not sure if a simple one stage correction can be applied.
Differing pigments may have different degrees of shift.
At some point the Munsell system was rescaled?

--ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:27, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@ShakespeareFan00: Hi,

I don't know if it's really a good idea to adjust colors of this atlas.

In my opinion, it seems that keeping this book as is, as it was published, as it has aged, as it has been scanned is worth it.

I think it's better to build brand new plates (in svg format for instance – as done in [99]–), referring to this album, to explain and illustrate Munsell system.

En rouge (talk) 20:40, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Moreover, the atlases at [100], [101] and [102] (I don't know if they are the same, or same as your previous link, but I mention them as reminders) can be of any help.

En rouge (talk) 21:19, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge: It would still be nice to have version of the Plates of this as SVG though. The other point about having a corrected version for references was that by having a non-faded version of this, it would be possible to have some kind of benchmark that could be used to assist other color correction efforts on Commons.

ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:48, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

As a temporary measure, having JPG's for the Plates would still of course be useful :) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:48, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

I will make first the SVG of the Plates. About to restore the scan, I'm thinking to first correct the yellowish colour of the pages caused by the time, and then correct the color charts to match the SVG, because we can't know how the original pigment was. What do you think? Núria Florensa Adell (talk) 15:08, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

That was exactly the kind of approach I was suggesting :). If it's possible by taking that approach, to also note how specific pigments are affected by fading and yellowing, then that is also critical information that could help improve color corrections performed on other images. Here there are 'defined' colors to some extent, and it should be possible to determine more quantatively what color shifts affect older works ( and scans) with color reproductions in them. I would strongly suggest, if you hadn't considered doing so, documenting the process you undertaken somehow (Wikiversity would be a good place for something like that.)ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:19, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Sobre determinar com cada pigment és afectat per l'engroguiment (yellowing) i el descoloriment, no tinc els coneixements per fer-ho i aplicar-ho a correccions. Requeriria matemàtiques complexes i penso que no val la pena. No crec ni que sigui plausible:

- El descoloriment depèn del temps d'exposició a la llum, la intensitat i la freqüència de la llum, l'estructura química del pigment en qüestió... Circumstàncies que o desconeixes o, coneixent-les, quantificar-les per utilitzar un algoritme corrector seria impracticable

- L'engroguiment depèn de l'acidesa del paper, la composició del paper, l'ambient on a estat exposat...

- Has de conèixer exactament quin pigment es va utilitzar

Que consti que jo no sóc experta en la matèria, quins coneixements tens tu sobre el tema?

Mètode per restaurar obra impresa amb el GIMP

Avís: és el que faig servir jo, pot haver-n'hi de millors, no n'he fet recerca

Engroguiment (yellowing)

Amb el comptagotes, prendre una mostra ponderada (com més gran millor) d'una zona que hauria de ser blanca (assumim que era blanc pur)
Crear una nova capa "yellowing" del color del primer pla que acabem d'agafar-ne mostra
Configurar el mode de la capa "yellowing" com a "divideix" (Divide)

Això seria equivalent a fer un balanç de blanc, però té l'avantatge, que si és un llibre i totes les pàgines tenen la mateixa afectació, no cal fer-lo cada vegada i no hi ha variacions, totes es corregeixen uniformement.

Descoloriment (fading)

Veure si hi ha una zona no (tant) descolorida, per exemple, dels llibres s'acostuma a descolorir el llom però no pas les cobertes. Si a la zona no afectada hi ha colors que estan afectats en una altra zona, es poder fer servir de referència

If you feel more comfortable in catlan, My response (using the Translator in Duck Duck Go)(I have no control over any translation errors):-

Aquest era exactament el tipus d'enfocament que estava suggerint :). Si és possible prenent aquest enfocament, per observar també com els pigments específics es veuen afectats per l'esvaïment i el color groguenc, llavors això també és informació crítica que podria ajudar a millorar les correccions de color realitzades en altres imatges. Aquí hi ha colors "definits" fins a cert punt, i hauria de ser possible determinar de manera més quantativa quins canvis de color afecten les obres més antigues (i les exploracions) amb reproduccions de color en elles. Us suggeriria encaridament, si no us haguéssiu plantejat fer-ho, documentar el procés que heu emprès d'alguna manera (Wikiversity seria un bon lloc per a una cosa així).)

ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 19:17, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

La correcció és correcta. Jo puc entendre't bé en anglès, sense traductor, però al escriure trigo molt. Núria Florensa Adell (talk) 20:15, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

He fet recerca (és un tema que desconeixia totalment) i me'n adono que és molt més complex perquè són escales perceptuals. Veig que hi ha fonts amb els paràmetres de cada color (varien segons l'edició de l'atles)(veure discussió), però no es poden aplicar directament de forma digital, s'ha de fer una conversió complexa. Si @Jacobolus em pogués ajudar a obtenir els valors RGB, jo podria llavors editar l'atles per a que els colors fossin els originals. Ell segurament podrà respondre't sobre les part tècniques sobre el factor de conversió que proposes Núria Florensa Adell (talk) 22:21, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

I would recommend against trying to re-color this. There is no way the colors of the physical artifact are precisely as they were in 1915, and there were various changes made to the Munsell Book of Color over time. The Optical Society of America measured the colors in a version of the Munsell Book from about 1930 (if I recall correctly), and then developed the “Munsell renotations” in 1943, which were used subsequently to define the Munsell system. But none of these will precisely match the colors from 1915. Moreover, I would expect some of the colors to not be reproducible on computer displays. I think you should leave this scan as-is. Edit to add: this Atlas is not the full Munsell Book of Color (not sure when the first version of that was published), but only a small subset of color chips used for explaining the system. The color chips in the scan here actually look reasonably good to my eye (the paper yellowed a lot more than the paint chips). I think this scan already does a pretty good job of demonstrating the Munsell color system, and giving useful historical perspective. For any more precise technical purpose this is not the source to look at. –Jacobolus (talk) 23:39, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

That is a reasoning I can understand. Do you have a suitable wording I could add to any scan images uploaded, to say the color reproduction should not be trusted for professional work etc?

My other question would be, is there material supporting the formal definition of the Munsell system (you mention the renotation) that is copyright free? (I highly doubt there is but would welcome more information). ?

ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 05:55, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

I will correct the yellowing (above I had explain the method I use). Pigments, not being exposed to light being inside the book, will not have been faded significantly.

This data about the 1929 edition (the edition of the scan) is not correct? They are measurements taken years after the edition or are the values used to create that edition?

Thanks! Núria Florensa Adell (talk) 10:43, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I see that it's the 1915 edition, i don't know how I looked to it Núria Florensa Adell (talk) 10:51, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Request: Requesting for the conversion of the preceding images from PNG to SVG. The images are low resolution PNG files made in 2007. One of the images is being used in the highly visible en:Template:WikiProject Tambayan Philippines. It would be best to remove the shadows, and reduce/limit the colors to the four flag colors of the Philippines: #0038A8 ( ), #CE1126 ( ), #FCD116 ( ), and #FFFFFF ( ). Also, it would be great if a third version of the image having a transparent background in place of the white background will be created.

@痛: Thank you. I have used the white SVG in the template, but it was replaced by another editor, who said the white SVG background (against the template yellow background) was distracting; the editor suggested maybe adding an outline in the transparent SVG will be better. If it isn't asking too much, can you please create additional versions of the transparent SVG and the white SVG containing black outlines (SVG versions that, when resized at 80px, would make the yellow sun clearly distinguishable when placed against another yellow background)? –2405:8D40:B31:81DF:BC97:4EC:C86:472C 13:24, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Is there any evidence that indicates this seal design is in the public domain (author life + 50y), per the North Korean law?

@痛: Sorry for the delay in responding. Well, the only other source on this I can find so far is this particular passage from the FOTW website, which describes (but unfortunately doesn't show) John Vaughan's design proposal. But I can keep looking, and I'll be sure to show you any pictures I find. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:22, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. And what would be the copyright status for this flag? I just noticed that Australia has a low threshold of originality. 痛 (talk) 23:14, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

@痛: Sorry for taking so long. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any more info about this flag other than what's already been provided here. Although, while I'm no expert on CR laws, I have a feeling it would be okay to create this file for WC, as most other Australian national and state flag proposals have been uploaded to this site without any CR issues. Unless you feel otherwise? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:13, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

@Snow Lion Fenian: Most other Australian national and state flags might be owned by the government and are released to the Public Domain by the government. Yet this flag proposal does not sound like a official government production, and therefore does not qualify to be released to the public domain. 痛 (talk) 16:05, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

@痛: Understood. So, if it's unavailable for the public domain, do you suppose the "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International" license would be an option for it? As I've noticed that all the other proposed North Queensland flags on WC (as seen here, here and here) have been uploaded under that license without any apparent problems. Sorry for the questions, but you do seem to know a lot more about this field than I do. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 11:40, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

@Snow Lion Fenian: if an art piece (or anything copyright-able) does not specify a license when published and does not qualify for public domain, we assume that it is automatically "all rights reserved". This "all rights reserved" status does not expire until a certain period of time specified by Australian law. I am unsure why these other files exist on Commons; perhaps other Wikimedians assumed erroneously that they qualified to be "simple geometric shapes" or "Australian government-owned". But I am not ruthless enough to request to delete them all 😛. Nonetheless, you can also reach out to vexillologist John Vaughan and ask him to "donate" his flag design under an acceptable license on Commons through Commons:Volunteer Response Team. 痛 (talk) 19:39, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

@痛: Fair enough, sorry for all the hassle. I'll certainly keep your advice in mind. Thanks for all your feedback. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 12:25, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Reconstruction of the coast of arms and emblems of the main medieval Albanian noble families

Article(s): Muzaka, Dukagjini, Thopia, and many more.

Recently most, if not all, the coat of arms of Albanian noble families were removed on Wikipedia because they were copyright infringements. My request is to make reconstructions of those emblems. In other words, I am not asking for the emblems to be identical to the ones that will be depicted in the sources, but to be inspired from them and to be drawn in a style in accordance with other emblems on Wikipedia. For this request I need a graphist who has experience with medieval European heraldry. The coat of arms that need a reconstruction are listed hereunder:

Muzaka: The coat of arms of the Muzaka family is said to be a two-headed eagle.[103] A fresco of the coat of arms exists in Italy on a propriety of the family:vatrarberesh.it p=48.
Dukagjini:The emblem of the Dukagjini is a one-headed white eagle.[104][105]
Thopia: The coat of arms of this family is a lion holding a sword with lilies [from the book of the author Genc Myftiu, titled "Albania, a patrimony of European values: a short encyclopedia of Albanian history and cultural heritage", quote: The emblem of his principality was a lion with Angevin lilies.]
Engjelli family:The emblem of the family is a red cross on a white background with an angel holding some kind of leaf.[106]
Skuraj family: The symbol of this family is a wolf with a lily and a banner with three stars, the stone fresco of this emblem can be found in the following source:[107]. The emblem of the capital of Albania, Tirana is based on this symbol.
Spani: The emblem of the Spani was an arm holding a sword with three roses. The source for this symbol is the same as the one for the Engjelli.

On internet I found examples [108][109][110][111] of how I imagine the reconstructions could look like, if the end result is similar to those examples that would be ideal! Many thanks to whoever is wanting to make the emblems! Ahmet Q. (talk) 08:09, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

A Google image search on "Trégor flag" also yields a mix of yellow and orange. 痛 (talk) 23:53, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

An SVG file analogous to File:Cascade-protection-shackle-double-chain-link.svg, to be called File:Cascade-protection-shackle-infinite.svg.
Rather than green, it should use a solid red, preferably the exact shade found around the lower half of the hand in en:File:Stop_hand_nuvola.svg.
Rather than the chain-link, it should use an infinity symbol ("∞").

Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 22:21, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for the hassle. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 13:58, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

I reduced their size to not overlap with the cypher in the middle. Do you think they should be kept the same size as in the original, with the cypher covering part of the lions, or with a size somewhere in between the current and the original? Madeline (part of me) 14:41, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

@Maddy from Celeste: Well, I genuinely don't think the cypher overlapping the lions would be an issue, as there is precedent for it in other historical versions of the RS, such as the 1801 version and the 1816 version. Unless you think otherwise? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 19:16, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

07式警徽的3D光影效果：该SVG的图层结构不适合这么弄，如果想制造立体效果需要完全手工一个个调整每一根松针。我可以把整个黄色色块弄成金色的，和其他徽章保持一致，但是这样一来就会和原版警旗有所出入了。
历史上的解放军军徽：目前Graphic Labs这里积压比较多，建议下方开个新的request排队，并请提供较为可靠的来源说明历史军徽的式样
预备役军徽：看起来不复杂的样子，不过还是需要跟您确认，是不是和“PLA Type-07 cap”构图一样，但是所有的金色转为银色？有无可靠来源佐证该徽章的设计？

I recommend using a PNG (download and reupload the 2048px version to Commons). The existing SVG standard does not allow a "conical" / radial gradient, which means that the trick employed in this SVG (dividing the circle into 360 "pizza slice" shapes) is necessary to ensure an accurate presentation of the color space, yet with the side effect of that alias rendering. Maybe someone else in this lab can think of a more ingenious hack to improve the situation? --痛 (talk) 23:38, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

The colors I gave are indicative, it is easier to give it this way than to describe it. I took them from the brightest blue and red places in the picture and made it brighter, but in such a way that it resembled many other images as possible [124] [125] [126] [127].

@Snow Lion Fenian: I have created File:Trinity College Dublin banner of arms (4-5).svg by simply moving about the charges from File:Trinity College Dublin Arms.svg on a rectangle of the same blue field. (I also made the castle whiter; it's argent not grey.) It would be possible to recreate the arms from scratch using a different harp, book, lion, and castle (for example those matching other heraldic device from the British Isles) but here is what I have done for the time being. I don't much like the colours: the blue is rather mauve and wan. I also think the castle should emerge directly from the edge of the flag rather than levitating as it does. What do you think?

Free City of Danzig (1807–1814). According to this website, in Napoleon's time a flag with a pattée cross and a crown of leaves were introduced.

The current file for the arms of the royal House of Estridsen (SVG) looks like a cartoon; moreover it is historically inaccurate.

According to the historical source, the waterlily pads should have an uniform size, just like in the deriving arms of Denmark (SVG).
The beasts could instead be improved using the design from the deriving arms of Tallinn (SVG), that are identical to the original ones, but adjusting their size according to the different shape of the original shield.

@Glrx: But is my microphone legit?--Carnby (talk) 18:39, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

@Carnby: I was disappointed there was no discussion at VP/Copyright. My problem is still intent: you are making a copy of the trophy, and you want others to recognize it as the ESM trophy. Significant features are copied that would not be present in random drawing of a microphone. The Eurovision heart is not on an average microphone. The shape of the bracket. The balls used for the mounting are unusual. The bottom half of the microphone is perforated; usually that section is solid because it contains the preamplifier. See Category:Condenser microphones. I doubt ESC will sue for such a copy of their trophy, but that is not a good argument for copyright. I would not upload it. There are substantial issues that I do not know or understand. I think anybody should be able to take a picture of somebody holding a trophy they just won because preventing such pictures would be an absurd result. Glrx (talk) 01:05, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Carnby, how are you planning to use the trophy SVG? If it is going to be shrank and used in places like stub templates and infobox icons, then what you have in the SVG file looks like a totally great and legit design — more or less recognizable but not infringing the copyright. But if you are trying to show the full details of a trophy in a thumbnail picture, a photo of the trophy uploaded to wikis in fair use licenses is always better. --痛 (talk) 23:09, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

that text is missing the center words and the last line is very wrong.

Some additional fudging (last line still very broken).

حركة الناصريين المستقلين

@OrdinaryJosh: Please see this edit for request #3. I have split them apart for mobile-friendliness & easier caption translation. 痛 (talk) 04:01, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

@痛: Thank you so much! I sincerely apologize for asking this now, but I hope that this isn't too much of an ordeal, but I believe that these additional changes would also improve upon the old file.

Change station names at the top of each file from "Crenshaw-Expo" to "Expo/Crenshaw" to reflect the official name of the station.
Change the colour of each line beginning from "Expo/Crenshaw" to #e07dac to reflect the official colour of the K Line.
Change the colour of each line beginning from "Redondo Beach" to #58a738 to reflect the official colour of the C Line.

Aside from that, I'm very happy with how the files turned out, especially with splitting them up. Again, thank you so much for your work and time! ^^ --OrdinaryJosh (talk) 04:26, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

P.S. Just in case, I've noticed that there are five errors on each file. Is this something that may be possible to fix? Again, thanks for your time! --OrdinaryJosh (talk) 04:29, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

What should be the color of the vertical line in C-2? It has both Expo/Crenshaw and Redondo Beach as its end point. And I usually don't sweat too much about any SVG errors, as long as they do not affect MediaWiki's actual rendering. 痛 (talk) 18:27, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

(e/c)

Looking at File:Crenshaw-LAX line operating plans (C-1).svg, the 5 errors are reported as

Error Line 2, Column 157: Attribute data-name not allowed on SVG element svg at this point.
…ink" id="a" data-name="Layer 1" width="400" height="500" viewBox="0 0 400 500">
Error Line 4, Column 74: Attribute data-name not allowed on SVG element filter at this point.
<filter id="b" data-name="drop-shadow-1" filterUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
Error Line 9, Column 39: SVG element feComposite is missing required attribute in2.
<feComposite in="SourceGraphic"/>
Error Line 11, Column 74: Attribute data-name not allowed on SVG element filter at this point.
<filter id="d" data-name="drop-shadow-2" filterUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
Error Line 16, Column 39: SVG element feComposite is missing required attribute in2.
<feComposite in="SourceGraphic"/>

The three errors citing data-name are not errors but rather SVG 2.0 additions. In SVG 2.0, all attributes with the pattern data-* are legitimate. These "errors" should be ignored.

There are two claimed filter "errors".

The file has two drop shadow filters:

  <defs>
    <filter id="b" data-name="drop-shadow-1" filterUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
      <feOffset dx="0" dy="2"/>
      <feGaussianBlur result="c" stdDeviation="2"/>
      <feFlood flood-color="#000" flood-opacity=".2"/>
      <feComposite in2="c" operator="in"/>
      <feComposite in="SourceGraphic"/>
    </filter>
    <filter id="d" data-name="drop-shadow-2" filterUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
      <feOffset dx="0" dy="2"/>
      <feGaussianBlur result="e" stdDeviation="2"/>
      <feFlood flood-color="#000" flood-opacity=".2"/>
      <feComposite in2="e" operator="in"/>
      <feComposite in="SourceGraphic"/>
    </filter>
  </defs>

The feOffset will operate on SourceGraphic and move it down 2 pixels

The feGaussianBlur will operate on the result of feOffset (this makes result "c" a drop shadow)

The feFlood makes a large gray rectangle.

The first feComposite keeps the gray rectangle that is "in" the "c" drop shadow.

The second feComposite is the claimed error. It is placing the SourceGraphic on top of the previous result. The specification says that in2 attribute should behave the same way as the in attribute: that is, it should default to the previous filter primitive (the result of the first feComposite.

So the feComposite lines should not have been reported as errors.

For testing, I added in2 attributes, but as expected, they do not change the appearance. I also removed the data-* attributes for that file just to get it to zero errors. Both edits are not needed and are discouraged by the SVG guidelines.

Request

Hi again! Earlier in September I already asked for an SVG version of the new coat of arms of the Konotop Raion. It was done brilliantly, many thanks again for that! However, today, after checking the website of the Konotop Raion administration, I found out that the version that I asked to vectorise was slightly different than the actual approved version there. The only differences concern the depiction of Saint Michael the Archangel in the top-right corner of the coat of arms. --  Gzhegozh _talk 10:51, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

The differences are the following: in the approved version, a sword is pointed upwards, and the snake that the Archangel Michael is stepping on, is forming a knot with its body. The correct version could be found via link to the local government website: Act of approving of the new official symbols of Konotop Raion. There are not just some aesthetic whims, but actually are very important heraldic features of the region of Krolevets region (which recently merged with Konotop as a part of administrative reform in Ukraine), dating back to the 16th century. Please, (1) change the first file according to the approved version, and (2), if possible, create another version of the file with Archangel Michael with a cap on (like on historic images). Please refer to the attached images. Best regards and many thanks in advance! --  Gzhegozh _talk 10:51, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

Hi, the person from that earlier request here. In the original request, I did an image tracing first, followed by hand coloring. However, that trick worked only because you provided a wonderful high-resolution PNG. I checked Konotop's government website, and it looks like the PNG in this official document is not as high-resolution as in the proposal — it is smaller and has a lot of image compression noise. You may want to consider contacting the local government and request for a better PNG. Or have someone redraw that part by hand. --痛 (talk) 18:21, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your response. I am aware of the matter as you described it, and I also reached out to the local government for the svg or a high-resolution png version, but didn’t get any response. Hence I was looking forward to having the features edited via this page. I understand that you can not do it manually. I just hope that there is a member in the community who could help me with this request via this page. If it’s not the place for this kind of requests, I think my topic could be ignored; unless I edit the original high-resolution png and try to redraw the elements manually (but I think I won’t be able to do that aesthetically acceptable). If you know somebody who could potentially handle this sort of request, please reach out to me. Thanks!  Gzhegozh _talk 21:07, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

That's not a "full coat of arms", it's more like a logo with a text label to ensure that anyone who doesn't recognize the symbol can understand the writing.

Where does this image come from? A version of it appears on the website here in a context which suggests that it appears on degree certificates but I can't verify this. Could it perhaps represent an official seal used by the senatus academicus? GPinkerton (talk) 00:47, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

@GPinkerton and Snow Lion Fenian: I saw this labeled version on their University Senate webpage, which makes me wonder if this is the COA for only that organization, as the label from the image provided by Snow Lion Fenian says "Senatus Universitatis Dubliniensis" --痛 (talk) 05:47, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Yes. See my previous comment. I suspect the design is the seal of the senatus academicus. GPinkerton (talk) 13:52, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

@GPinkerton: and @痛: Yes, I agree that that does appear to be the case. Hence a file title such as "Seal of the Senatus Academicus of the University of Dublin" would probably be adequate. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 20:41, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@Constantine:

Instead of giving an order ("Create"), can you write more kindly, for instance:

please, can you...
I would like to...
can someone...
...

If I understand correctly, you would like to:

get a svg drawing from a jpg file (1930);
redo the three existing svgs (1829, 1973#1, 1973#2), in new files (as initial svg are OK, considering their respective existing sources).

Have you browsed the internet to find such files, with a compatible license, to be uploaded to Commons?

Have you browsed the internet to find such files, as a visual reference for the job to be done?

And:

For the low resolution jpg (1930), can you provide a link to an image with a better resolution?
For the three svgs to be done, can you provide sources (as you disagree with the referenced sources in the initial svgs)? Without sources, the new svgs can't be created!

Thanks En rouge (talk) 16:23, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge: first, thanks for the very quick response. It was not meant as an order, and never expected anyone to consider it such. It is, as the template states, a request, and I simply wrote a description of the task at hand. I would be naturally very happy and grateful if anyone were to undertake it, but accept that people might not be interested. I have amended it now.

As to the questions, there are no files with compatible license available; and no svg files at all, AFAIK, apart from those already in Commons. The files above are the best visual reference as well, although higher-resolution photos of the 1930 coin certainly exist (e.g. [129] or [130]. I also added another coin for the 1828 version, that I had forgotten earlier. I am available for any further questions.

On the extant svg files, I don't disagree with the sources, they are correct and the images as well. I just would like a wholly new svg composition, based on these sources, of the image they show. Like how File:OrangeRiverColonyArms.png was used as a basis for File:Orange River Colony coat of arms.svg, and not just sent through a png to svg converter. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 16:44, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

I uploaded "smoother" versions for the two 1973 arms. Frankly speaking, these COAs look about the same to me they are all "phoenix nirvana from fire", with a few differences like the shape of the wings and the shape of the fire. On the other hand, the 1829 one needs to be completely redone by hand, but the existing image makes it really hard to do so (no idea what pattern is on that seat; clothing detail is ambiguous). -- 痛 (talk) 02:48, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the tweaks. The designs indeed have the same motif, but are different in the details, and therefore distinctive and assignable to different periods. This is fairly typical, cf. Category:Reichsadler (Weimar Republic). Constantine ✍ 14:39, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

@Cplakidas:

I have uploaded a vectorized version of the 1930 coin. I don't know which elements are considered part of the coat of arms (just the bird? Is light ray and the cross part of it?) though.
For the 1828 coin, what's wrong with Seal of the First Hellenic Republic.svg? I can see the text needs to be redone, but is there anything else?

痛 (talk) 13:25, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi 痛, thank you very much! The 1930 coin is fine, and yes, the ray and cross were considered part of the design. On the 1828 coin, the svg version we have know is like a rubbing of the original; very coarse-grained and with few details. Constantine ✍ 14:53, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

@Cplakidas: I uploaded a new version — see above. Due to the way the coin was engraved, it was very hard for me to tell which part is a flame and which part is the bird, so I image-traced it. And I do not speak Greek so let me know if the text is incorrect. 痛 (talk) 04:08, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

- "base-name_alternate_#1" (and #2, #3), or "base-name_alt_#1" (and #2, #3), or without '#' not to get future problems with this special symbol
- with base-name being:
  - "State Crown of Queen Victoria (heraldry)" to be consistent with file#4,
  - or "Heraldic Crown of Victoria" to be consistent with file#3

...or, new proposals, up to you

Comment: Please do not proceed with this, this is wrong. Queen Victoria does not have a separate heraldic crown design. The crown you called the 'Heraldic Crown of Victoria' is the St. Edward's Crown (albeit uniquely depicted). The name of the file should be: 'Heraldic St. Edward's Crown (Victorian Era)'. Sodacan (talk) 18:14, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

@Sodacan: So are you saying the information on FOTW is erroneous? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 14:41, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

The information on FOTW is very frequently erroneous and always incomplete. It is really not to be used unqualified. I also do not see any evidence that this peculiar crown is anything other than a variation of design and certainly not to be thought of as a "state crown of queen Victoria" or "Heraldic Crown of Victoria" as if it were an actual thing. GPinkerton (talk) 21:52, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge: Hello again, my sincerest apologies for taking so long in responding to you. So back to your question about the titles for the new Files. Now that Sodacan and GPinkerton have pointed out the true nature of this particular heraldic crown (sorry for my mistake), I think the new Files should be called, in line with Sodacan's suggestion:

File#1 "Crown of Saint Edward Heraldry (Victorian Era)"

File#2 "Crown of Saint Edward (Victorian Era)"

File#3 "Heraldic Crown of Saint Edward (Victorian Era)"

File#4 "Crown of Saint Edward (Heraldry) - Victorian Era"

What are your requests?

Some .svg files still exist:

Reading sources information in SOUTHERN AFRICAN VEXILLOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION, p. 1 and SOUTHERN AFRICAN VEXILLOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION p. 2, it seems that, from 1928 till 1982, all blue(s) were the same, and from 1982 to 1994 there are two blue(s).

En rouge (talk) 01:26, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

@ColorfulSmoke: as you still edit here, in Commons, I think you're able to answer my comments! above.

The South Africa flag, for the period 1928-1994 (i.e. your File:Flag of South Africa (1928–1994, 2).jpg file) doesn't exist.

As referenced above (in savaflags), there are two flags: one from 1928 till 1982, another from 1982 till 1994.

Your created jpg file is defined in a 1982-1994 period of time (not a 1928-1994 one).

You have requested on 2021-12-26 deletion of Flag of South Africa (1928–1982).svg to replace it by a redirection. I think it's erroneous.

As written above, I've two files, for the two period of time: 1928-1982 and 1982-1994.

Your request for color correction, is only valid for a 1982-1994 period of time (not 1928-1994). I'll correct it, as blue color, inside the white band, is not in accordance with sheet 1/2 and sheet 2/2 at http://www.savaflags.org.za: SOUTHERN AFRICAN VEXILLOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION, for south africa. For this flag, there are two blue colors: one inside the white band, the second for the bottom band.

For 1928-1982 period of time, I'll request deletion of the redirection, to be able to upload the appropriate file.

Graphist opinion(s)

@Swiãtopôłk: Hi,

For the red flag, it seems you did the same request in #Flag of Gdańsk (variant) above (on 2022-10-30), and in (en) wiki (on 2022-11-13).
The work is marked as done in (en) wiki, but still open above. Please cancel this later job.
For your request here, I would like to list this points:

In your link to a photograph of the two red flags (with croix patées: #1 and #2 #3): [edited on 2022-12-10 by En rouge: #3 is not on the given photograph]

the cross in #1 is outlined in black; it seems that in #2 the cross is not outlined (or really thiniest)
the crown in #1 is without a visible back ring, but visible for #2
the crown in #1 has 3 leaves and two crosses, but #2 has 5 leaves

for , I used instead of your proposed , because the first one has a larger center: more appropriate for your given sample files, and more distinctive from .

For the blue flag, I'm waiting for some information about the shape of the crown.

Yours, En rouge (talk) 18:54, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge: This request is about history and at the top of the page it's about the present. As for this old request - I did not expect that someone would undertake to recreate coats of arms from coins. This laboratory, however, is only volunteering and difficult tasks are not always carried out. The current appearance of the files is consistent with historical information. I asked based on what was available. When the republic was established, they tried to standardize the symbols The following details are important -

The crosses must be wider at the ends of the arms, it is called a patée cross. What exactly they looked like is unknown and most likely they weren't exactly the same back then.

,

. It is important that these are not Greek crosses

, because in the 20th century the Patee was deliberately replaced with more Germanic ones. Germans believed that Patee was associated with the Dominicans. #1, #2 and #3 are correct in this context, but I prefer #1 or #3 because #2 is currently used and may be misleading.

The crown must contain 3 leaves and 2 pearls. The crown has looked different in history. During the republic, symbolism was invented for the leaves. They were supposed to be an allusion to the laurel wreath - a symbol of victory, revolution and independence, according to the standards of the time. In 1920 the crown with leaves was upheld, but a new one was drawn. Therefore, I am asking for a replacement of the crown, containing the right elements, but other than the one from 1920.

The blue flag is a (possibly unused) proposal. It was about honoring France, which was the protector of Gdańsk. It is to contain the same proportions of crosses and a crown as the red one.

To sum up

or

, but not 2 at once, this crown

, any red color, except #ff0000. I hope I have clarified and not confused.

Swiãtopôłk (talk) 20:43, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

@Swiãtopôłk: Cool man, cool.

What I'm asking are these details you mention.

For historical aspects, you manage.

But for request you do, for example you provide, I try to look at the details, I ask for complementary information, and I try to lower misunderstanding.

It's why I choose

rather than

, use crown with two pearl (rather than crown with five leaves), and crown with back ring to create

.

And, alternatively I choose the crown with five leaves (no pearl) and without back ring to create

.

This was to respect your request.

I even ask you to provide your preferred file names.

Nowadays, for your current request "Ask to change the crown", you haven't clarified anything but the croix pattée acceptable design (and the red color I was not asking about).

I still have questions. All given above (except for croix pattée design, and red color) :

same request done in #Flag of Gdańsk (variant) and (en) wiki?
black outline for crosses in red flag?
crown with three leaves and two crosses?
crown without back ring?

(notice: I've no question about greek cross or whatever-cross, neither about red color...)

Please focus on my four questions just above. In my opinion, they are necessary details.

Thanks for your response, En rouge (talk) 06:28, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

PS: see also my comment for your wrongly added #3 cross above.

@En rouge: Ok, so

this is another request, it's about improvement with new better elements
no outline
I don't quite understand what the "back ring" is about but if it's an oval representing the inside of the crown then yes. As you have presented here without modification add on the flag.

Swiãtopôłk (talk) 15:23, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

@Swiãtopôłk: OK, finally it seems I understand your request!

But, from the beginning, with my questions, you may have written something like:

There are two projects, two red flags with the same layout, but different elements. Both of them have a crown and two croix pattées all shifted toward the hoist.
On the first flag, the crown is with 3 leaves and two pearl, the inside of the crown is drawn, and without any outline of the crosses, exactly as elements of (colors and crown drawing).

This flag is a modification of

. It's the current request Ask to change the crown.

On the second flag, the crown is with 3 leaves and two crosses, the inside of the crown is not drawn, and with an outline of the crosses. This is the request named Flag of Gdańsk (variant) at the top of this page.

This flag variant is to be created in this above section Flag of Gdańsk (variant).

Moreover, at the beginning, you may have written that the photograph of the two red flags has nothing to do with this current request Ask to change the crown, as I believed.

(but this photograph has to do with the preceding request Flag of Gdańsk (variant) above).

Moreover, at the beginning, you may have written that the request at (en) wiki has nothing to do with this current request Ask to change the crown, which leads to my confusion.

(but this request was to create

, the flag to be modified in the current request).

It might also be worth changing these new arms themselves; the saint is supposed to be in a quite different posture and is not dressed properly, the bell is the wrong shape, the robin looks more like a cross between a ruff and red grouse, and the salmon are much more grey than is "proper". I don't see the point in a flag until the shield itself is completed. The image really isn't suitable for public consumption yet. GPinkerton (talk) 17:58, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

N with ↑

The above vary by rotation only. See Category:North pointer map symbols for more.

Request: Is there a way to improve these? I have the impression that the serifs could need some improving depending on the size/rotation one uses them. Maybe I should just opt for another type. --Enhancing999 (talk) 15:00, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): @Enhancing999: I assume you are noticing that the smaller it is, the harder it is to read — especially for serif fonts. While there are niche things such as "variable fonts" for webpages to be easier to read at a smaller font size, these do not apply to any mediawiki sites, as all SVGs are pre-rendered into PNGs before serving to the end reader. I personally favor north pointers like the one I drew in Washington Purple Line.svg — easier to read at a smaller size with a sans-serif font, and with arrows and N separated from each other. 痛 (talk) 18:04, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

I could vectorize those images, but I have a couple questions:

What's their license? The only info I found was "The City Arms must not be reproduced without the permission of Glasgow City Council." in the second link.
Which colors are preferable? The grey and brown of the first link or the blue and yellow of the second link?

TilmannR (talk) 17:04, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

@TilmannR: Thanks for pointing that out, and sorry about that. Honestly, I'm rather unsure about exactly what the Arms' license is. Perhaps, if a file were to be created, it should follow the lead of the first link? As in that it gives a close enough representation of the Arms without being an exact replica of the official version (as I'm sure an exact replica would be forbidden by the second link)? Or would you think otherwise? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 16:34, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

I'm done vectorizing a slightly larger version from https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=16962&p=0 . (Without gradients or fancy shading, just flat colors.)

About the licensing: The lines in these images are nearly identical. I'm pretty sure that we're dealing with derivative works of the official version. Copying it makes our version also a derivative work, even if the colors are a bit different.

About the colors: In the "Flag of Glasgow" section from November GPinkerton seemed to know what the proper colors are. TilmannR (talk) 19:02, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

I just found an even larger version at https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=38711&p=0 and it says "The Coat of Arms must not be reproduced without the permission of the Lord Lyon’s office.", which is slightly different than "permission of Glasgow City Council", but still not great. TilmannR (talk) 19:06, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

@TilmannR: The term "proper" has a specific meaning indicating that the object concerned is the colour it would be in nature: in fishes' case, the "proper" colour is one which best represents the brown trout (Salmo trutta) found in the Clyde river. The existing fish are too grey and colourless for this species. The cock robin (Erithacus rubecula) should be also be "proper", with red and brown plumage in the natural places. The sainted bishop should be depicted according to the usages of heraldry: wearing the episcopal robes and mitre and not the plain white of the present SVG rendering. Heraldry is not copyrighted as such and it's perfectly legitimate to have coats of arms on Commons. Even an exact copy of an existing heraldic design of sufficient age is presumably OK if the image was drawn a suitable number of decades in the past. This is true of all heraldry, not just that of Scotland or Glasgow. I do not believe that the simple illustration of arms infringes on the ancient laws regulated by the Court of the Lord Lyon; it's passing off someone or something else's arms as your own that is illegal. GPinkerton (talk) 19:26, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

"The current version of the coat of arms dates from April 1996", so its age is insufficient for us to assume public domain. The phrase "must not be reproduced without the permission of" seems to be a generic copyright notice. E.g. they wrote "The Glasgow Mark must not be reproduced without the permission of Glasgow City Council." next to their logo. I know that some countries exclude certain things from copyright (e.g. {{PD-RU-exempt}} excludes "symbols and signs of municipal formations" in Russia). I just don't know whether that's true for cities' coats of arms in Scotland. TilmannR (talk) 21:07, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

@TilmannR: The current arms were granted in 1996, and the specific artistic design that accompanied the grant of arms was painted at the same time, but although this means that that particular painting is copyrighted, the actual arms themselves are simply a verbal blazon that may be rendered artistically anyhow. The current arms differ from the pre-1996 version (granted in 1975 and earlier versions granted or assumed in earlier centuries) only in the type of crown; the rest of the arms is identical to the arms used for centuries. The addition, substitution, or substraction of a generic crown does not affect copyright status; the elements of the blazon (crowns, bird, tree, fish, bell, bishop) are all basic heraldic elements which are copyrightable neither in combination nor separately. The image on Commons should not be a direct copy of any existing rendition of the design, but rather a de novo graphic version of the official blazon. (This is true of basically all heraldry on Commons.) The blazon, I should add, actually calls for salmon (S. salar) rather than the brown trout I mentioned earlier. GPinkerton (talk) 22:35, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

@GPinkerton: Thank you for clarifying. Then I won't upload my vectorization of that particular painting. Unfortunately I'm not very good at drawing things from scratch. I could vectorize Glasgow Coat of Arms.png and replace the helmet with UK Mural Crown (Common).svg.

Another question about the colours: Is the bell supposed to be grey or gold? It's grey in Glasgow-CoA.svg and Glasgow Coat of Arms.png, but gold in Glasgow Coat of Arms - geograph.org.uk - 1181679.jpg and on Glasgow's website for example. TilmannR (talk) 20:57, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

@TilmannR: It shouldn't be necessary to vectorize a whole new image; the existing SVG would be OK with a few adjustments of colour and shape. As for the bell, I believe the actual original bell it represents no longer exists, but typically, bells are cast in bronze or brass: I never heard of a gold or silver one. It too is supposed to be "proper", so any kind of coppery colour would fit. As for the shape of the bell, the blazon calls for an "ancient handbell", which should mean the cowbell-shaped bells of the early mediaeval Celtic Christians, described here, with a surviving Scottish example here in the National Museum of Scotland. Apparently, these bells were wrought from iron and then brazed (rather than cast), but that should make no difference to the external appearance. It's visible in that shape here, which I think is a copy of the 1996 grant. Since we're going to all this trouble, it might be worth making a file with the pre-1996 arms as well (same but with helmet rather than mural crown). GPinkerton (talk) 22:30, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

@GPinkerton and Snow Lion Fenian:

Done. Thank you for your patience. Of course vectorizing a whole new image wasn't necessary, but it's relaxing and educational, which is ultimately what I'm here for.

TilmannR (talk) 12:52, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

@TilmannR: Thank you profusely for doing those, fantastic work!

And while we're still here, I can't help but ask if you'd also be willing to create an SVG file of the "Flag of Glasgow", which is a banner of the current arms, as seen here? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 18:37, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

For the detected differences, I need dates! Date of the initial space stations dimensions, in the .svg file on Commons; date of the the space stations layout/dimensions in your proposed picture on twitter.

Yours, En rouge (talk) 21:13, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge, if you need the dates when they were actually addedthen, see that in between 29 April 2021 configuration (uploaded on 4 May 2021) and 3 november 2022 (my version not uploaded as yet) only one module wentian was added on 25 July 2022, but if look into history

ISS:-2 irosas were added on 20 june 2021, nauka (solar panels only) with european robotic arm (not in view) on 29 july 2021, prichal (not in view) on 26 november 2021.

Tiangong (CSS):- new updates and whole design was rotten piece.

see the discussion at User_talk:Sbb1413#Updation. this discussion is increasing the best solution is to provide me a suitable svg application that fully converts png to svg as 4 more final irosas will be added within today and february-march 2022. Chinakpradhan (talk) 09:42, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

For clarity, it could be helpful to have a separate icon "RACK" for the later, similar to the above, but without the cable. Also, I'd make it raise to the right side (as the aerial one), as it's generally placed on the right side of stations. --Enhancing999 (talk) 09:06, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

I got 34px from https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/aa/BSicon_RACK.svg/34px-BSicon_RACK.svg.png also visible there. Does the diagram use different sizes?

In any case, I like your suggestion, filesize is smaller than the original too. Enhancing999 (talk) 11:42, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Request for vectorization - the Coat of Arms of Moravia

The Coat of Arms of Moravia
existing SVG with tail that does not conform to shield. (59 kB; does not use pattern or feTile)
Coat of arms of the Czech Republic: Compare the tail of the figure in the second field of the quartered coat of arms with the Moravia.SVG file, namely that it has not been modified (and position (shape) of the figure in the shield field)
SVG version of Znak Moravy.jpg
The Coat of Arms of Silesia
existing SVG with tail that does not conform to shield.
SVG version of Znak Slezska.jpg

Article(s): Moravia, Coat of arms of Moravia.

Request

I'm looking for a person willing to vectorize an image file with the Moravian coat of arms, which is used by many sites: Znak Moravy.jpg. The bitmap format is an obstacle to its wider use on the grounds that the SVG format is better (technically). The existing Moravia.svg file used by other articles as SVG is not suitable from the aesthetic point of view (the shape of the Moravian eagle's tail is not adapted to the shield). It is possible that more people would be willing and able to do it, but in the end at least one willing person could answer the call and do the vectorization.--Pavel Fric (talk) 18:18, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

@Pavel Fric: do you have an "official" link to the correct version? Looking at this web page, it appears that the existing SVG is more correct. --痛 (talk) 13:30, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

@痛: See National symbols of the Czech Republic. 1) The linked picture above represents the combination of the Moravian eagle as depicted in the file (picture) with the state (Czech republic) coat of arms. It is copied from it (cut and pasted into an inappropriate shield shape without being adapted). 2) This is based on the annex to the Law on State Symbols, where the coat of arms is described as "Quarterly, first and fourth gules a lion rampant double-queued argent crowned, armed and langued or (for Bohemia), second quarter azure an eagle displayed chequy gules and argent crowned, armed and langued or (for Moravia), third quarter or, an eagle displayed sable crowned of the first, armed and langued gules, on its breast a crescent trefoiled and a crosslet argent (for Silesia)." It is noticeable that in the appendix (picture) to the law the shape of the tail is adapted to the shape of the 2. field (approximately rectangle) in the shield (French shield), whereas in the picture on the linked page the tail of the eagle is not adapted to the shape of the shield (gothic shield). In the English translation, the "red" colour of the dice is listed before the silver, but in the original of the law (Czech language) the silver comes first in the description, followed by the red: the check (chessboard) is silver-red, in this order. Never mind that the appendix to the law shows the check(ering) red-silver. Finally, this can also be seen in other depictions of the Moravian eagle's form or its descriptions (however, the oldest colour depiction from the 13th century is silver-red). But the point is to have depictions that match the text of the law, because images further shape people's ideas of what something should look like.--Pavel Fric (talk) 12:27, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Any other questions?--Pavel Fric (talk) 13:20, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, real-life stuff is keeping me busy. I encourage other graphists in this workshop to take a look at this. 痛 (talk) 13:10, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I encourage them too. It will be very useful. At the end of November 2022, the user Tschechische Länder took the image (file Znak Moravy.jpg), ran it through an graphic editor, enlarged it several times, renamed it to Coat of arms of Moravia.png, and replaced the original file in the Czech version of the article (Moravská orlice; English version: Coat of arms of Moravia) with the file with a strangely blurred top edge of the shield, saved in PNG format. I would really like to see an SVG file in that place.--Pavel Fric (talk) 13:43, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

@Pavel Fric: Do you have a link to the officially used coat of arms somewhere in the web? – Doc Taxon • Talk • 23:48, 17. Jan 2023 (UTC)

@Doc Taxon: Here the SVG file used on Wikipedia with silver-red check(ering): Moravia.svg The color palette used is different from that of the bitmap JPG image. However, the aesthetic shape of the eagle's tail is crucial. The source for the image is Coat of arms of the Czech Republic.svg. See Annex to Act No. 3 of 1993 of the Collection of Acts and Regulations of the Czech National Council on the State Symbols of the Czech Republic here. Artist: Jiří Louda.--Pavel Fric (talk) 14:35, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

@Pavel Fric: Is the tail of the eagle in the picture above correct? If so, where is a source showing the tail of this rounded shape? – Doc Taxon • Talk • 00:39, 30. Jan 2023 (UTC)

@Doc Taxon: Yes, it is. As explained, the need lies in the availability of an image with a tail shape that takes into account the different shape of the shield field than what we see in the quartered state coat of arms, where it is approximately a square. It is a matter of feeling for the heraldry to make the result correspond to this perception of the figure placed in the field. The image is intended to serve as a representation of the provincial emblem - the Moravian eagle, using the gothic shape of the shield. The shape of the figure as such is the result of the work of a professional heraldist, but we do not seem to have access to the source SVG file.--Pavel Fric (talk) 12:36, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

@Doc Taxon: Second option: 1) edit the tail of the figure in the existing SVG file and upload it to Wikimedia separately (in case someone likes the existing version better). Or 2) edit the tail of the figure in the existing SVG file and have this as the new most up-to-date version of that file.

@Pavel Fric: I believe what Doc Taxon would like to know (and I would like to know as well) is the origin of Znak Moravy.jpg. You've uploaded that file as "own work" with yourself as the author, and that seems to be wrong. I would not want to upload an SVG version with incorrect authorship information. TilmannR (talk) 14:53, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

@TilmannR: Changed to "own scan" and "unknown".--Pavel Fric (talk) 07:04, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

@Pavel Fric:

Done TilmannR (talk) 12:52, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

@TilmannR: Well done. Thank you very much. If you would like, I would also ask for vectorization of the same way processed coat of arms, this time expressing (Czech) Silesia/Czech Silesia - see second field of the state coat of arms of the Czech republic in the gallery above, also the coat of arms of Czech Silesia: Znak Slezska.jpg. In the SVG file now used on Wikipedia, the figure transferred from the state (Czech republic) coat of arms to the shield is used again, without adapting the shape of the tail of the eagle (Silesian eagle).--Pavel Fric (talk) 13:52, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

@Pavel Fric:

Done. TilmannR (talk) 15:11, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Proposed flag of the Russian Republic

Article(s): List of Russian flags

Request

I'd like to request an illustration of this proposed Russian flag from an "A. Bryanchaninov" and, if possible, the emblem itself since I don't know how to properly extract part of an SVG and make it a centered emblem (if that makes sense). I hope the reference images are fine because there's barely any documentation of this flag, as I can't find any information on any physical copies.

Thank you so much in advance to whoever takes this, it's one of my favorite flag designs ever, and I'd love to see it be given justice. --NorthTension (talk) 19:30, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Royal Standards of the consorts of the Stuart monarchs

Arms of Anne of Denmark, consort of King James VI and I.
Arms of Henrietta Maria of France, consort of King Charles I.
Arms of Catherine of Braganza, consort of King Charles II.
Arms of Mary of Modena, consort of King James VII and II.
Arms of Prince George of Denmark, consort of Queen Anne.
English royal standard of the Stuart era, which would comprise the left half of most the standards in this request.
Old royal banner of Navarre, which would make up part of the standard of Henrietta Maria of France.
Old royal banner of Portugal, which would be part of the standard of Catherine of Braganza.
This flag contains an eagle template (specifically the one in the middle of the top row in the right half) that I think would be ideal for use in the standard of Mary of Modena.

Article(s): Royal Standard of the United Kingdom and List of United Kingdom flags.

Request: Alright, I know this is a rather tall order, but could someone please create SVG files of all the Royal Standards (or at least as many of them as possible) used by the individual consorts of the various monarchs of the House of Stuart, based on their arms provided above.
