Quote: "The flags opposite have been presented in a single shape and size. The correct proportions however are provided below each flag." The flag of the the Four Power Joint Military Commission is labelled with 1:1 proportions, therefore square.</ref>{{Efn|During the final days of the Vietnam War for the critical transition from a period warfare and conflict to peace, the Accords empowered three different commissions to oversee the implementation phase and resolve any differences between the belligerent powers. The Four-Power Joint Military Commission (JMC) represented each belligerent: on one side the United States and South Vietnam, and on the other side North Vietnam and the Việt Cộng. After the 60-day cease-fire, this newly established commission would, in theory, shed its protective outer garment (United States and North Vietnam) and would then become the [[Two-Power Joint Military Commission]], an insular body representing the interests of both the [[Republic of Vietnam]] (South Vietnam) and the [[Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam]] (PRG, the Việt Cộng).}}

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2021-28

The winner this Translation of the week is

Please be bold and help translate this article!

El Palo Alto (Spanish for 'the tall pole' or 'post') is a coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) located in El Palo Alto Park on the banks of San Francisquito Creek in Palo Alto, California, United States. It is famous for its historical significance and as the namesake of the city of Palo Alto. As of July 2016, El Palo Alto is currently 110 feet (33.5 meters) in height, down from 162.2 feet (49.4 meters) in 1814. Its top progressively died from 1865 to 1955 from lowering of the water table so that its roots could no longer reach sustenance.

(Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)

How do I fix flags?

@Great Brightstar: , I recently made a few flags with Inkscape but I can't seem to get the dimensions right, how do I get the dimensions I need? --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 14:11, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

There are various methods to get proper dimensions. First, he Select and Transform tool have a lock button on the toolbar, if you clicked, if you modified the height or width of an element, it would be always scaled in original ratio. Second, if you click an elements and drag its corner to resize, while you hold on Ctrl key, it would be always scaled in original ratio. Third, click Object -> Transform to open the Transform panel, there is a Scale tab to let you resize. That's all I know. You can also see https://inkscape.org/learn/ to know more about this. --Great Brightstar (talk) 16:18, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
@Great Brightstar: , Thanks for the information, after I've learned to do this I hope that I won't have to bother you to ask to "fix my mess again", I ran into this issue before when I attempted to merge the flags of (South) Rhodesia and South Africa at the Graphic Lab for a request. I will try to do this and see if I can fix that user's other request. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 16:25, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
