•  Neutral Awesome job, but it doesn't pass validator of W3C: [1] --QWerk 13:06, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• All the pictures made by Inkscape are like that. Since the 0.41 version, "Inkscape SVG documents no longer include DOCTYPE declaration with an URI of an SVG DTD; this DTD would not be able to validate our documents anyway (due to extension elements), and was just useless." [2]. Sémhur 19:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• In looking around, it appears the SVG working group is moving away from DTDs and towards XML schemas. I think the W3C validator only uses DTDs to do validation, so that may not be too useful for SVGs. See here. I'm not sure if there is a good way to validate SVGs at the moment; the W3C looks like it has an initial attempt here, but the online version isn't working and the downloadable version still has issues with unexpected namespaces (which are the only problems it reports).

•  Support the Roman numerals are not exactly aligned with the bricks and the grass. (it's only to pick holes) Sémhur 19:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

•  Support Seems like good Inkscape skill to me. Freedom to share 18:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
•  Support I don't normally vote here, but I was really impressed with this. If I had a couple of quibbles: the more recent tweaks added maybe too much grass; the area in front now looks like a mowed lawn ;-) The left side of the pyramid could be shaded a bit darker as in most other versions. But those are small things; this is a great job. Carl Lindberg 01:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Yeah I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to the grass. I think it looks a little better now that I put a shadow under it, but I've known since before I started that the plants were going to be hard for me.[3] I've tried a few things, but I've never been satisfied with the result. Thanks for voting; I value your opinion because you know what you're talking about. Ipankonin 05:46, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
    • I like the shadows too. I think the grass itself looks good; just that one area in front now doesn't seem to fit a dry/desert area ;-) Maybe you could try going back to a scarred earth look instead of grass for that area, like you had previously (as does the source image), or maybe just thin the grass out and/or make it patcher. Or just leave it ;-) Carl Lindberg 18:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose no wow. Lycaon 06:49, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose - Correct illustration but not special enough for FP -- Alvesgaspar 10:26, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
•  Neutral mhm, IMHO the frame around the seal shuold be flat and not rouded like it is, and the grass before the pyramid still not convince to me. Finally the image lacks a white external line around the frame. --F l a n k e r 22:15, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

• Are you saying it should be like that to be correct, or to look good? The frame and the grass are not mentioned in the blazon, so they can be completely different or absent and still be correct. Ipankonin 10:36, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

• Update Removed most of the grass in front. Ipankonin 11:07, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

 Support Thanks, it looking better to me now. Changing vote, F l a n k e r 22:06, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
