Hello Kooij!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. BotMultichillT (talk) 11:04, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heraldic shields and Coats of Arms[edit]

In many cases these would be better in vector format: smaller file size, better scaling, easier to modify...

Coat of Arms of Grand Duchy Hessen (-Darmstadt)[edit]

Dear Kooij,

Can You kindly give any proof-links on the parts of coat of arms of Grand Duchy Hessen, please. Exactly I mean Principality of Starkenberg (Red lion on yellow field), Starkenberg (Burg itself, I guess) and SRI defender (between Rhein and Wieser). Not that I doubt in Your knowledge, but I really can't find any other information about these Arms except Your article "Wapen van Hessen".

Yours, Roman (since now http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Romanold)

File talk:Jülich-Kleve.PNG[edit]

Hoi Kooij, Je bent een paar jaar geleden al op grove fouten gewezen in het schild Jülich-Kleve, zou je die willen verbeteren? De fouten zijn groot genoeg om aangepast te moeten worden. Dqfn13 (talk) 09:56, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Consider proportion change on element in Schaumburg-Grafschaft[edit]

At http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Schaumburg-Grafschaft.PNG near the passion nail in base, the width of the Gules on each side could be reduced to the widths you used for the two passion nails in chief. This would make each of the three proportional.

Image/Afbeelding Salm-Salm[edit]

Beste Kooij,

ik vroeg me af wat de oorspronkelijke kaart is waar de afbeelding die jij geüpload hebt van het Hertogdom Salm-Salm vandaan komt. Heb je toevallig een linkje voor me? Ik zou het erg waarderen, goede kaarten van pre-revolutionair Lotharingen zijn ten slotte erg lastig te vinden en dit lijkt er eentje te zijn. Alvast bedankt!

Met vriendelijke groeten,

Joerim

Dear Kooij,

I was wondering what the original map is that you got the Salm-Salm principality file from that you uploaded a while ago. Could you provide me with a link by any chance? I would greatly appreciate it, good quality maps of pre-revolutionary Lorraine are very hard to find after all, and this seems to be one. Thanks a bunch in advance!

Kind regards,

Joerim — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 46.129.23.208 (talk) 11:27, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can you please explain, which sources you used to create this very interesting map? I'm espacially interested in the principality of Nassau-Siegen.

Hello, I have a few questions about the coat of arms of Lebus you've made a long time ago:

  1. What was the source of your work? Was it this?
  2. If so then why your work looks different than the source (lack of the yellow background behind the spears, different points of the spears, different "inside" of the star, lack of the "9" looking thing under the spears)?
