Thanks for uploading File:Mapa de rutas de la colonizacion venezolana.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

When I posted this I didn't even knew how to use Wikipedia. If you know about venezuelan history you'd know that the old map of the Klein Venedig Wikipedia was using wasn't correct at all. I'll try to make a new one on my own in .SVG. Sorry for the caused problems. Salvadoroff (talk) 17:17, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Mapa Venezuela

Hola! El 24 de julio ví tu edición del mapa de Venezuela y me gustó! Específicamente este: Y pues me gustó la paleta de colores y el estilo, me gustaría saber si tú podrás hacer todos los mapas de ese estilo y detalles! Este es el que digo:https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/8/89/20220724061527%21Venezuela_%281840%29.svg [[User:Floppa Historico|--->FloppaHistorico]] (talk) 17:58, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Re: escudo de Caracas

Hola: muchas gracias por tu mensaje. A mí, partiendo del modelo original, me gusta ir haciendo los escudos línea a línea pero, en este caso, dada la enorme complejidad del mismo, utilicé una herramienta del inkscape que permite vectorizar mapas de bits.

Gran Colombian flag colors

Heyo, I just wanted to ask what source you used for the colors youve been using? I myself have never seen it before, but I'm not Spanish-speaking so any of the resources are probably umavailable to me. NorthTension (talk) 22:13, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello. My English ain't so good and I'm really sleepy rn tbh. I don't know which colombian flags are you asking a source for. I think you mean the flag of the First Republic of Venezuela, a very different thing from Colombia, and the succsessive ones.

The source I'm using is directly a preserved gran-colombian flag from 1826 located in the Concejo Municipal de Caracas. I took a picture of it and I'm planning to post it on its main article. And actually all the historical sources say the original venezuelan flags were conformed by amarillo, celeste y encarnado. Wich means yellow, ligth blue and red. When I first posted the original files with a darker color of blue I based it in a wrong online source.

You can check out online a scanning of a traditional book called "Los simbolos sagrados de la nacion venezolana", it's only available in Spanish but you can watch the colors they used on the depictions of the flags. I'm not planning to edit the Gran Colombian flags, because it seems that the tone of blue variated from one flag to another in this period of history all along the vast territory of Colombia.

Greetings from un cuero seco. Salvadoroff (talk) 07:24, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Checking the book cited by @Salvadoroff, it seems that their claim is legit, although somewhat ambiguous regarding to the flag. An extract from page 46 states:

"...from that Monday on it will be used by all citizens regardles of social class, the Cockade and Symbol of the Venezuelan Confederation, whose colors are celeste (light blue) at the center, amarillo (yellow) and encarnado (flesh/red) at the edges, keeping uniformity between them...". The book also cites the Caracas Gazette #41, dated Tuesday, July 16th, 1811 as a source to that claim.

The statement doesn't mention the flag though, being described earlier simply as being amarillo (yellow), azul (blue) and encarnado (flesh/red). However, it would be logical that the flag at that time used the same colors as the cockrade, as evidenced by a few surviving flags from that time. Piexter (talk) 22:06, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks you two! And sorry Salvadoroff, I shouldve written "Gran Colombian" NorthTension (talk) 01:35, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

De nada, amigo mio ntp! Salvadoroff (talk) 01:58, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Interesante, sin embargo, debo aclarar los colores de la bandera de la Gran Colombia son oscuros como se puede ver en los modelos sobrevivientes vistos aquí (hay fotografías de cinco modelos), aquí, aquí y aquí, que son las fuentes originales de donde diseñé la bandera y sus características generales; el escudo en la mayoría de modelos también tiene la corona de laurel, lo que varía es el color de estos (pueden ser colores naturales o tonalidades de dorados). Dicho esto, esa bandera de la municipalidad de Caracas es eso, una bandera municipal con los símbolos grancolombianos, no es ni mucho menos el modelo original ni tampoco la primera o la más importante que se izó con los colores o el diseño grancolombiano. --Milenioscuro (talk) 02:50, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Lo que sucede es que esas eran banderas de batallones que podían estar sujetas a diferencias de las banderas oficiales ya fuera por personalizaciones o por efectos de la precariedad de la guerra que dificultase el obtener similaridad a las oficiales. Reconozco que el celeste tal vez ya no figurase como color oficial de la bandera colombiana, a pesar de que fuese el oficial de la bandera venezolana desde 1811 y que Colombia haya por decreto adoptado "el pabellón de Venezuela por ser mas conocido", pero difiero en la existencia de la corona de Laurel, pues, no hay reflejo en legislación alguna que la agregue a la bandera. Ademas, una bandera de carácter mas oficialista como la de una municipalidad de la segunda ciudad mas importante de Colombia, debe tener mas peso que banderas de batallones y estandartes usadas para la guerra. Propongo que se abra una discusión mas apropiada al tema y que se vectoricen las banderas que allí me muestras para poder subirlas al articulo principal de la wiki. Salvadoroff (talk) 18:58, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Teniendo en cuenta que la Gran Colombia fue un país altamente militarizado, con dirigentes que eran parte fundamental del cuerpo del ejército más importante de América del Sur en ese momento, creo que si pesa más las banderas y estandartes utilizadas por batallones para la guerra que una bandera civil; lo que más se parece a lo que usted plantea se puede encontrar en la página del vexilólogo Jaume Ollé, que al parecer basó su trabajo en un libro venezolano de los años 1960 (se puede intuir eso por la disposición de las franjas en proporción 3:2:1) y en sus dibujos tiene los colores propuestos por usted (y muchos otros diseños con estrellas azules y blancas en la franja amarilla). En todo caso, usted ya había subido unas versiones recoloreadas de la bandera, porque no sube sus versiones sobre esas y las coloca en el artículo de la bandera de la Gran Colombia? yo por mi parte sigo insistiendo en la existencia inequívoca de la corona de laurel.--Milenioscuro (talk) 21:19, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
