Banner of the King of Scots[edit]

Resolved

File without raster graphics.

Request: I converted a PNG file to SVG, but it is embedded with raster graphics I am told and should be made with vector graphics. I am unfamiliar with SVG processes, could someone re-make it with vector graphics? The other files of this banner were created with the wrong proportions, and should be 5:4 like the file presented to you. I used File:Royal Arms of the Kingdom of Scotland.svg as my source.

Graphist opinion(s):

Mysterious black rectangles in SVG are almost always due to the stupid Inkscape "flowtext" nonsense, which can be diagnosed at Commons:SVG Check... AnonMoos (talk) 00:52, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed "flowtext" nonsense, but that doesn't affect the problem that text rendering isn't that great at small font sizes... AnonMoos (talk) 01:23, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you ever link only to the SVG Check and not to the explaining main page for MediaWiki SVG newbies (with the most important bugs)?!? Flowtext is not Inkscape rather SVG 1.2. -- πϵρήλιο ℗ 14:56, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SVG 1.2 is not an officially-adopted standard, and the current "working draft" hasn't been updated for over 7 years!! As far as I can tell, SVG 1.2 gave guidance to mobile-phone software writers as to which minimal subset of features to support ("SVG Tiny") and threw out some interesting ideas, but it really hasn't set any meaningful new standards in the non-Tiny area. According to en:SVG, "SVG Full 1.2 has had a W3C Working Draft in process for years, but now will be dropped soon in favor of a SVG 2.0". Frankly, the Inkscape developers seem to display a degree of assholish tendencies on this subject, since they're fully aware that "flowtext" causes interoperability problems, but they don't seem to care too much, and even saving as "Plain SVG" does nothing to resolve flowtext problems (or that's true of the most recent version that I know about...). -- AnonMoos (talk) 16:28, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway, you might be a little annoyed too, if you had fixed this problem in roughly 200 or so SVG files, the way I have... AnonMoos (talk) 16:32, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

*Oh* Excuse me, so exactly I did not know that. Yes, then it's understandable. I know that the Inkscape developers don't support many SVG objects (only fully a rect?) and they also say "Who cares a lean small code!?" -- πϵρήλιο ℗ 20:25, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question What do you mean with "they don't want to edit in inkscape"? --Ricordisamoa (talk) 22:15, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He meant that there may be difficulty opening them with Inkscape, due to Adobe-Inkscape interoperability problems. If you ever open an SVG file which has gone through both Inkscape and Illustrator in a plain-text editor (as I have), it's usually not a pretty sight...

I can give a mini-tutorial on how I made the new red saltire be half the width of the old white saltire, but I don't think that it would help you to do similar things within Inkscape...

«...some auxiliary programs to help semi-automate certain things...»?!? --Ricordi samoa 10:21, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, when I'm doing serious revision of an SVG file, I usually convert the SVG to PostScript, and such programs operate on the resulting Postscript. Programs such as Ghostscript and/or pdftops in the xpdf package can transform PostScript into canonical form (with all translations, rotations, and scalings resolved). For editing of selected outline paths, the Fontforge program can be useful; it has some limitations, since it's a font editor, not a general vector editor, but it has powerful outline simplification and optimization capabilities not seen in most general vector editors. There are also some little shell scripts that I hand wrote. My way of modifying SVGs is rather idiosyncratic to myself, but it generally works for the things I want to do... AnonMoos (talk) 13:52, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WOW! I simply edit manually the SVG code... --Ricordi samoa 12:56, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I do that too, to eliminate unnecessary constructs inserted by Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape, to simplify syntax, etc. However, casting contours into simplest canonical form sometimes requires more heavy-duty manipulations... AnonMoos (talk) 14:36, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My favourites are logo #2 and logo #12.

Comment. Logo #2 might somehow have issues with religious symbolism, but its layout implies directions that go both ways. I'd rule out anything that resembles naval insignia (compass) or NATO, chess, arrows in only one direction, and fists.

Logo #4 is in the process of being eaten up by Pacman. Logo #8 is like running in circles. Logo #9 is like a traffic sign, zigzagging away at speed. Logo #10 implies use of a firearm. The "head" of logo #12 is a nice mushroom (no-no), then again, its arrow layout and directions are nearly perfect. Logo #15... Greenland or Outback? The middle invokes imageery of a thermonuclear explosion. Logo #17 resembles an earthquake marker. -Mardus (talk) 23:47, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SVG Seal of Puerto Rico needs some fixes[edit]

PNG
SVG
Flag

Request: Slashme did a wonderful job creating an SVG, however it still needs a couple tweaks to bring it up to snuff. The inscription was traced, it could use a proper redo in font. Also the flags on either side are configured wrong, and should be wavy. The cross on the staff the lamb is using to hold up the white banner should be re-configured to look like in the PNG as the religious symbolism from the coat of arms was removed by the Americans when they made the seal for Puerto Rico. The F and I and their crowns could use a nice redo, they're currently traced, and the white banner too please. The linked flag is also dependent on the seal. Fry1989 ^eh? 18:58, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): I've had a go at some of the changes. I'm not sure what needs doing on the F, I and crowns, and the waving flag is beyond my capabilities, and I can't work out which extension on Inkscape creates that effect. However, the rest should hopefully be done. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 18:37, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the F, I and their crowns are just very choppy. It would be nice if they could be redone, they don't have to be font, just done a little nicer. The flags that should be wavy, that's not the only problem, they also need to be alternated, right now the two different flags that incorporate the design are side by side on top of each other.

The Governor's main seal is above, along with the first instance of a variant I have seen, but there are two more, this one and this one. There is also a version used Sila María Calderón when she was (to date) the only female Governor, and it uses "Gobernadora" instead of "Gobernador", as Spanish distinguishes male and female offices, but other than that, it's the same as the third variant. Along with the Secretary of State's seal, there is also a this older variant, as well as a seal of the Department of State. Please use the naming scheme I have set below.

I actually attempted to vectorise this myself a few months back, but the result was decidedly off in terms of both colour and shading. While it would still probably be better than nothing were those the only issues, the svg renderer Wikimedia uses wouldn't be able to process it properly, not because the svg invalid (although it may be for all I know), but because the renderer is simply too inaccurate when dealing with complex vector graphics of this sort. Should I bother to upload it and demonstrate? There wouldn't be much other purpose in doing so at this point; the image becomes completely borked when rendered at typical sizes. -— Isarra ༆ 00:42, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delaware and Wyoming, I'd like in full colour, Rhode Island's LG might as well do it all blue like shown, South and North Carolina, you can do them grey-scale, and Ohio's is also monochrome, but I'd probably do it more of a light black like this rather then blue.

Okay, I've done them all except Rhode Island; looking at those two, it seems that they're using a different design for the CoA (different order of words, wider ribbons, different design of the shield etc), so I can either leave them for now or use the version we have with a view to it being replaced. I don't mind either way!

For the others, I'm not sure which license to use (are they all PD-US?) so let me know and I can add those, or if you're feeling industrious you could do so yourself! Anyway, the rest are done, and only a year after I said!! NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 16:20, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For Rhode Island, you can try to do the more fancy shield if you want and I'll be patient, or you can use the current coat of arms file we have and redo it later, either way is fine. I'm not gonna be picky. Fry1989 ^eh? 17:04, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'll return to the seal at a later date. Has it changed or is this just a special alternate design? NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 17:26, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: In regards to the Seal of the Governor of Delaware, I do not believe we should add something to the seal that does not belong there, even something as mundane as "State of Delaware". It could be left blank and easily explained away in the text supporting the image. Another option would be to use the Latin phrase "Nomen Nescio", meaning "name is needed here", rather than an actual name. Although, I would not think it too burdensome to simply create a new file for each new Governor as needed, as it would liekly be four to eight years before we need update the seal. Bellae artes (talk) 06:06, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That issue was actually previously discussed on the talk page of the seal of the Governor of Utah. It's also gonna come up with California's gubernatorial seal, which also uses roman numerals for each governor. I don't think there's really any good way of going about this, but I also requested replacing the person's name with the name of the state on the seal of the Pennsylvania Auditor General, and when it comes to seals having names on them, I just think it's the best option. Fry1989 ^eh? 22:01, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You mentioned that if an editor is not careful with the personalised seals he could end up placing the wrong numbered-or-named seal in an article,[11] but at least this would present to the public a actual seal recognised by the state. It would be disingeous and betray the trust of our readers to present an altered image and claim it as the official seal of a Governor when.

I suggest having a generic version with the personalised portion left blank, noting in the desription that the Governor's name or number was omitted in the image and that this information would best be presented to readers when the image is used in an article. Next, I suggest we create seperate and personalised versions for each Governor, or at least personalised files for the more current Governors and the and more historic ones. We could easily link each file together so an editor can clearly see his options and choose the accurate iamge. I would think it would help if we label these personalised files in a manner such as "Seal of the Governor of Delaware without name" and "Seal of Governor John Smith of Delaware" for further clarification. Bellae artes (talk) 08:10, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What I have done on my article for all the governor's seals, is give reference links so everyone can see the real thing, and on the article for the Governor of Utah I created a paragraph about the seal, explaining the roman numerals and how therefore each governor has their "own seal". I'm fully open to having all the seals back to the first governor made, the problem is, we don't know when the governor's seals were first adopted, so they may only go back a few, or they may go back all the way to the beginning. The situation is particularly complicated for Massachusetts, where there is both a general seal (which I did request and has since been made on Commons), and a personal seal (so far, I have been able to find three, Governors Romney, Weld and Patrick). Assuming we do create them all the way back, or even part way back, I'll have to create individual articles for the governor's seals of California, Delaware, Massachusetts and Utah. While I'm not opposed to doing that, and I do think that having them all is ideal, it is alot of work and I'm not 100% sure if the benefits outweigh the negatives. If we do do that though, I would suggest the naming scheme be as follows: For all 4, leave the current file as "Seal of the Governor of state", and this file can be updated every time there's a new governor. Then for California and Utah (which both use roman numerals), once a new governor is in, upload the old version as "Seal fo the 16th Governor of" (where the number is variable). For Delaware, do the same, but upload the older version as "Seal of Governor name of Delaware". For Massachusetts, just upload the personal seals as "Personal seal of Governor name of Massachusetts". Fry1989 ^eh? 22:36, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We seem to be in argeement then, a seal for each Governor. No need to create all the way back jsut yet, but only for those we do know about. Afterall, seals and such have changed overthe years and there is no need to invent some anachronism here. Asa side note, I think in the article covering the seals of the Governors you could get away with using the current one or simply adding an asterick and then explain the state affords a new seal for each newly elected Governor. This way, we can avoid so many seperate articles. But, that is more a Wikipedia issue and not something for Commons. Bellae artes (talk) 09:34, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, ya know, after thinking about it, I figure we might as well. I crossed out my request for changing the name to "State of Delaware", and asked for the one in the source (Ruth Ann Minner, the last governor) to be made, and then one for the current guy. Once all these requests are done, I'll start asking for the 3 personal seals of Massachusetts we know of, and for a few back on Utah's. California's gubernatorial seal is still a long way from being requested, because it's a complicated one, but in time, we can that done too. If you ever come across any more yourself, let me know :) Fry1989 ^eh? 20:02, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): The problem was caused by the font substitution by the Wikimedia server. Your Sans font was substituted to DejaVu Sans which is larger than Sans/Arial. DejaVu Sans is similar size to Verdana. The best way to solve the problem is to install DejaVu Sans in your computer and use it. Another workaround is to use Verdana or Arial which seems to be substituted to similar size Liberation Sans.

My SVG manipulation skills are non-existent, so I was wondering whether someone could take a look at it to see if it can be made clearer, perhaps by using a different colour for the bottom of the range marker (maybe yellow which would stand out better against the black), or by adding a red circle around the red dot?

I've made the changes, at least I changed it to what I think you meant, please let me know if I got it wrong. One thing I should point out though is that whoever created the image in the first place, rather than editing the original German SVG they used the PNG version and used autotrace on the heraldry and the text (which is why I replaced the traced text with editable text). This has resulted in some rather awful mini images of the heraldry. If I get some time at some point I'll replace the bad traces with the correct SVG images. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 10:18, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again and apologies, since I wasn't clear. I think the text should simply be "municipalities", since all other boxes also use just the English names.

But the precise name given depends on the type of collective muncipality, so sometimes they are called "amtsangehörige Gemeinde", "Ortsgemeinde", "Verbandsangehörige Gemeinde", ..., but there exists no generic term for all of them. So just labeling the section "municiaplities" is the compromise agreed upon. Sorry for the additional work needed. Thanks, --S.K. (talk) 06:09, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the thrust of your argument is that because all previous images have been entirely 2-D then all future images should follow suit. I don't see it.

I like rendering at the moment, and Gimp. I'm not so much into inkscape yet, I can in a pinch, but the image is so easy and the concept so popular it's bound to catch the eye of someone with the skills and the frustration from experiencing it recently. Then again, I notice a LOT of editors lately who seem to experience pain whenever they come across humour, it seriously gets up their noses, why I was discussing it here just the other day.

I find not every request at the FX lab needs to be done right away, some I take my time with, some I don't even do. But if it worries you that much, you know, about tidying up the page, I'll be the first to delete it entirely when the other requests on the page are resolved, that way it'll be just nice and lovely and tidy. Unless of course the humour causes you pain, in which case I'll delete it right away, so tell me, does it give you like stabbing sharp pain in the sinuses, or double vision, or make it hard to think generally ?

It is nothing to do with the humour as you well know. It just seems unfair of you to request an image which would really only be used by yourself and one or two others. However, I echo the call for you to try it yourself. It really isn't a hugely complex image and would be ideal for learning the program. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 11:15, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Humour varies from place to place and culture to culture. Thank goodness that people are not all exactly the same or you wouldn't need a mirror in the morning you'd just look at your partner to see an exact copy of yourself. Eeeew. I think the image is funny, no doubt there are other people out there who think it's funny, not every successful comedy show/movie/book/comic appeals universally to all people everywhere and that is OK, it doesn't make them any less of a commercial and cultural success.

As for the request, I haven't seen anything to indicate that you guys have to answer it, I don't believe any request is compulsory and I have seen many just go unanswered, get marked as 'stale' and eventually get archived. I can't see why this simple request needs to be such a great conversation starter, maybe it's because it does not appeal to the mainstream W:Systemic bias. Honestly, I feel the same way when I see a lot of what passes for 'humour' coming out of hollywood, a lot of it is so banal it makes me want to vomit. But I don't mind other people enjoying it, good luck to them, there is something for everyone. As for telling me 'It is nothing to do with the humour as you well know' well, my natural reaction is to say 'bullshit' but I won't, because that's potty talk. I will point out that you are not qualified to tell me what I do or do not think, or to know what I do or do not know, what I do or don't find funny, and I sure as hell won't let you choose my partner for me. Sorry, but your opinions are your own and you're welcome to have them and air them, but don't tell me what I do or don't know. This image is quite funny to me, and I expect others as well. Just because it won't go viral across the Internet doesn't mean it will never get a laugh. Not all jokes go viral and that is ok. Penyulap ☏ 11:41, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to have missed my point. It is nothing to do with the humour of the piece. It is the fact that the image would have a very limited audience and scope and seems to be something only you and a few others would actually use. If you would like me to find some Inkscape tutorials, do say so and I can point you in the right direction. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 12:29, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, well, I think were having a heated AGREEMENT here. I've already mentioned it '..would be used by only a few people who understand it, if any' so if you can't stop agreeing with me soon, I think we'll go on agreeing for some time before an argument breaks out there.

Thanks for the offer of tutorials, I can find those on my own no problem. The request is for vectorisation/improvement and it is NOT COMPULSORY. Do you think we can yell at each other that it is NOT COMPULSORY to answer this request so we can have a heated agreement there as well ? I think it'll move us closer to an end to the seemingly endless discussion this is becoming. :) Penyulap ☏ 12:52, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If the image is not necessary to improve an article or a template or whatever, then I would argue that such a request shouldn't be made here.

Graphist opinion(s): Well, for me, the PNGs and JPEG should go as they're of equal quality to the SVGs at best. Number 7 is gorgeous and I would say it should be kept as an alternative depiction, for artistic merit if nothing else. Numbers 4, 5 and 6 above all use the wrong style of keys; the others are all essentially identical, so I would say we should either delete all but the first uploaded, or instead keep the one with the most appropriate name. Then we can touch it up to match the Vatican's version as closely as we desire. I do predict edit warring, whatever happens! NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 16:48, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, there was a mass-deletion nomination (Commons:Deletion requests/Fictional Papal Arms‎) which was made prematurely by an anonymous IP and largely supported with poorly-reasoned arguments, so that it hasn't brought much clarity to the overall situation. It's hard to see how there can be too much cleanup without uploading new images until the deletion nomination is somehow resolved.
In any case, in traditional European heraldry, there's not necessarily only "one correct picture" of a coat of arms -- many different artistic renderings based on the authoritative textual blazon may all be acceptable... AnonMoos (talk) 18:19, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I quite agree that there is not one "correct" image, hence why I see no reason to remove the last of the displayed SVGs. However, the others are so very similar it really doesn't seem necessary to have six different copies. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 19:08, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually none of them looks like the image found on Vatikan's homepage: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/francesco/elezione/stemma-papa-francesco_it.html. Probably they should be deleted all together or at least be marked as imprecise. -- Patrick87 (talk) 19:13, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The first three are all very close to it, but could all be improved to be more like it, yes. But which one do we improve when there are so many nearly identical copies? I think that is the question here. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 19:26, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No. 1 is up-to-date and a Valid SVG. But still the dscussion continues as the image shows now a fruit-like spikenard which wont be the final version. Hopefully there is a senior heraldist working on this in the Vatican now. --maxxl2 - talk 21:59, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As expected, #2 has now borrowed the banner from #1. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 19:50, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion has moved here, and there seems to be no requirement for editing the images at this point, so I am marking this as resolved. If the arms need to be updated or combined once the DR is resolved, we can re-open or re-post this. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 12:19, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

I am hoping someone can answer a question regarding copyrights on spectra.

On the page violet astronomy, to illustrate the emission and absorption line locations for beryllium and boron, which are important metals in star formation, I have uploaded two such spectra calculated by the person credited. But in principle these spectra may be calculated by anyone and perhaps presented as this individual has done, without the company components of course.

Are these spectra as calculated and presented subject to copyright?

Thank you in advance for your kind attention to this matter. --Marshallsumter (talk) 17:32, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This might be a case of {{PD-Ineligible}}, but it would be preferable is you just replot the spectra and use {{PD-user}}. --Jarekt (talk) 01:58, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Make a request at the Commons:Graphics lab, we can make new images for you, and you can add the credit as a reference in the image description on the image page. Penyulap ☏ 13:26, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No we can't. Absorption spectra are nothing one can just "redraw" Penyulap. You have to calculate them from a theoretical model or measure them with a spectrometer and then you can create a plot out of these data. --Patrick87 (talk) 14:33, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the USA has already calculated them including intensity per element. All that needs to be done is to graphically plot them like the spectra often seen with appropriate colors per wavelength. I would have to write the graphics software from scratch but I can supply the reference if Commons:Graphics lab can do it. Let me know and I'll supply the reference. --Marshallsumter (talk) 19:48, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It could be done as a GIMP script, but not by me. I think writing it as a svg would be easiest, people tell me they are plain text documents anyway, so adding in the computations directly or with a text editor sounds dead easy. I don't do svg though, so I'd have to learn enough for this one task or co-ordinate with friends. It certainly sounds do-able. Penyulap ☏ 20:37, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thats what I meant: Graphics lab isn't the place were scientists crowd, but a place for graphics experts (not that this would be mutually exclusive). This request would probably fit better into en:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics. There's no need to write software for this, there are suitable tools around. I could probably do it, but I don't know when I'll get round it. There are multiple things I'd want to do first currently. Maybe you could start a request at graphics lab and post a link to it in WikiProject Physics. --Patrick87 (talk) 20:50, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hehehe the old 'I could do it if I felt like it' ;) But seriously, does anyone have the list of numbers of the calculated spectra. I can experiment with a text editor and 'linearGradient' in svg and I can't see this being brain surgery. Penyulap ☏ 20:57, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wah, there are some fun tools out there for playing with svg gradients. Plus, really fun names of documents as well, like "The Elements:A Visual Explanation of Every Known Atom in the Universe by Theodore Gray" I like that :D Penyulap ☏ 21:16, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Try to read closer. I said I could do it if I had the time. I'm sure I could put "something" together within minutes, but if I do it, I want to do it right. And there are currently more important things that come first for me. Consider yourself glad if you can "waste" your time with such experiments while what you're trying is a standard procedure for many physicists out there. Surely you'll learn something in the process. --Patrick87 (talk) 22:47, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, as said in the other discussion I currently don't have the time to do it currently. But as you said before you're quite good with raster graphics so I assume it won't be hard for you to fix it yourself. The second image has a transparent line of pixels at the bottom by the way. --Patrick87 (talk) 02:12, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there is a poor crop thank you for noticing (the two images are different sizes also).

Penyulap ☏ 02:24, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You took the data form alexpetty which does not include the relative intensity as information. Though I think for the color plot it is a must have to include the rel. int. Maybe I'll find some time this afternoon to have a look at this req... --McZusatz (talk) 07:20, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why any reasonable person would extract the data from the image, rather they'd just use the actual data. The illustration is to describe the dataset, and I'd say it does a decent job of it. I would say the people working with these signatures would recognise them quite well by my description image. That said, if nothing else, I've certainly stirred a competitive spirit to do the task :D a win win win situation. :D Hoo Yeah ! (does a little dance) Penyulap ☏ 07:47, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I finished the job and noticed the height is possibly too great. Should I reduce the height to 50%? Btw. I also uploaded sprectra for 96 other elements. For those of you who are interested can find them in Category:Atomic_spectra. --McZusatz (talk) 17:13, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, looks great! Actually I just checked how to display images ignoring their aspect ratio but it doesn't seem possible to do it in MediaWiki software. So probably it would be better to reduce the height. One thing I noticed: You should give sort key for Category:Atomic_spectra (from category description: "Please, keep the category sorted! [[Category:Atomic spectra|01]] for H, [[Category:Atomic spectra|02]] for He, etc.").

Out of curiosity: Which software / what data did you use to produce the spectra? --Patrick87 (talk) 17:43, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See the permission tab for details on the source. I reuploaded them in 7430x1280 but any other height is fine. Just let me know. --McZusatz (talk) 17:57, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see, the thing I linked. Nice you actually used it

. I think the height is fine now (it's easy to change height if needed anyway) and the width should be large enough to always provide good quality. One could even use CSS transforms to change height without modifying the file:

File:Polynesiantraiangle.jpg

Request:

This image was uploaded to the Commons in 2004 under a claim that it is in the public domain, but the information given on the file description page indicates that the image is from the Bishop Museum in Hawaii. Since it is clearly a modern map, I am not sure that the photograph is in fact in the public domain. Thus, I think the image will have to be nominated for deletion. Before this is done, can someone please create a free map with the same information (which isn't a direct copy of this map)? The image is in use in a number of projects. Thanks.

Also, can I suggest that the new file be named something like "Map of the Polynesian Triangle.jpg", in line with "en:Polynesian Triangle"? The original name contains a spelling error (traiangle instead of triangle). — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 06:08, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:Christian world map.png[edit]

Resolved

Dear Wikigraphists,

Request: Can this PNG map be updated to include the borders of South Sudan? If it could, then two things should be done. Firstly, South Sudan should be coloured purple since the respected 2012 Pew Forum on Religion says that South Sudan had a population which was 60.5% Christian in 2010. (you can scroll down through the table for 'South Sudan') In contrast, Arab Sudan should just be coloured grey since the same Pew report says that Sudan had a population which was only 5.4% Christian. (ie. less than 10% Christian) So, the map above showing the religious composition of this country is badly out of date today in 2012/2013. It also shows a united North and South Sudan which is also wrong. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:33, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Done. Refresh the cache if the change not seen. Hellerick (talk) 16:39, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Thanks for your help on drawing and colouring the two Sudans. I was wondering, however, if you or someone can also colour the 3 African states of Liberia, Mozambique and Cameroon purple (as a final request) since they all have a population which is more than 50% Christian from this wiki web site for Liberia (more than 85% Christian), this wiki link (56% Christian in Mozambique) and this wiki page Here (70% Christian) for Cameroon? The Pew Religion table states that in 2010, Liberia's population was 85.9% Christian, Mozambique's population was 56.7% Christian while Cameroon's population was 70.3% Christian. (you can scroll down to see the data for these states from Pew) So, all 3 states are more than 50% Christian and the map above is not accurate.

Request:

Hello! I have been asked to take over the Choir's internet outreach in the next few months. In the past few years, the choir has gained increased significance, coming more under the control of the Diocese as well as, as it always has been, gaining the distinction of the only and official Boy Choir for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. As such, the Choir's logo needs to be incorporated into the Wikipedia article of the choir as well as the website. Currently, I have been given the highest resolution image available, which is available on the website as well. We require a high resolution SVG file for not only Wikipedia and our website, but also for flyers, etc. I tried to upsample the logo in Photoshop, but this resulted in poor quality. Since this logo is very simple, only 3 colors, could someone please trace this out in a smooth SVG for high resolution use? Thank you! -- Andrewrp (talk) 03:00, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fist of all: Be patient and stay friendly – two days is close to nothing, some requests stay here for weeks or even months until somebody works on them.

I didn't intend to personally work on the request.

As to why this request is problematic (maybe you're not familiar with Commons:Licensing?): We can't just use the image you posted. It's copyrighted. We have to recreate a new one from scratch using the image you posted as a guideline on how the final image should look (e.g. which elements need to be in it).

Graphist opinion(s):

Done – there was some strange (and invalid) namespace definition inside your file. I uploaded a corrected version. You can check an SVGs validity and see any problems with the W3C Validator. Saving as "plain SVG" in Inkscape might help in some situations (although some information like layers might be lost). --Patrick87 (talk) 10:06, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Missing objects in SVG and smaller PNGs[edit]

9th USAF emblem WWII.svg
PNG file that new SVG would replace.
JPG of the same emblem.

Article(s): 375 articles on 5 wikis

Request:

I thought I had figured out how to fix problems with the media-wiki rendering of SVGs ... apparently not. All of the SVG versions I've tried so far are missing at least the red circle inside the star; the 2000px PNG renders correctly, but as the PNGs get smaller more objects disappear until we're left with nothing but the blue shield and gold ellipse. Any help would be much appreciated. --Wine Guy (talk) 16:50, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

This is most probably a result of bugzilla:42090. There's not much you can do, except removing the blur filter effect from the image. I think this would be a workable workaround, though, since I don't understand why you used it in this image anyway. --Patrick87 (talk) 17:21, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removing the blur seems to have done the trick. I used the blur because the image seemed less flat with it, but it certainly is not necessary. Thanks for your help. -Wine Guy (talk) 17:52, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Colours and alignment[edit]

Warped and distorted version with incorrect colors.
Properly-aligned version with correct colors.

Article(s): Caroline County, Maryland

Request:

Please make it so that the SVG (on the left) version's colours are identical to that of the PNG version (on the right). Also, if possible, try to mold the SVG's shape so it aligns up with the PNG. The SVG version's shape is warped and distorted at a strange angle at the moment (possibly due to being based on a photograph). However, the colours are the top priority for now. Thank you. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 03:28, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

I fixed the color and cleaned up the SVG a bit, but I'm afraid the vectorization is rather bad. Instead of investing time removing the distortion (which will not make it look great in the end), a re-vectorization would probably be the better idea (if anybody want's to do it, and the graphics is worth the effort). --Patrick87 (talk) 14:53, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to be sorry. Since you're not the first one to forget to enter a title, there seems to be a more fundamental problem. But I can't imagine a single way how to make this tiny little "Subject/headline:" field more prominent. Maybe it happens to match the blind spot somehow, who knows

--Patrick87 (talk) 20:26, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That may be a good reason... :-) Why don't you add a void template like {{subst:Void|Remind to fill the subject/headline title in the box above here.}} just after the gallery images? — TintoMeches, 20:43, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was there once, but upset many people who did not now what the void-template was, or were not even familiar with templates at all. I therefore removed it and added a default header so sections (so - like in this case - at least this default header is used. Previously often no header was given at all resulting in request being added to the previous request's section). On German Wikipedia we even have a preload at the top explicitly stating "Step 1: Give a header" [20] but even there requests are often added without adding the header. So forgetting the header seems to be human somehow

. --Patrick87 (talk) 21:37, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, forlorn hope; I give up. IMO hypothesis 1 is correct: it's a genetic trait of the human being. ;-) Anyway... have a good day and thanks again! See you! — TintoMeches, 21:49, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fantasy basketball flag[edit]

Fantasy Flag for Valencia Baskt (first version)
Original Valencia FOOTBALL club flag

Article(s):

Request:

Hi! There was a awesome fantasy flag for Valencia FC (used primarilly in :it) that I tried to adapt to Valencia Basket. To the moment, in both :it and :ca, the VCF flag was used for Valencia Basket, but that could give some mistake, because they are different teams, and the use of black and white of the football team could link the baskt club to the football one. So I tried to make a flag with the orange colour of the Basketball team, changing white for orange. The result is ok, but no perfect because the image has some cleared corners that are not in use in the white section, so when changing white for orange it looks a little weird. Could someone please create a cleared corner for the orange section in the "Taronja Valencià photo" taking as example the "bianco e nero" one? (and optional: changing black for purple, second colour of the team, despite it does not appear in the shield. Thanks. --Coentor (talk) 11:56, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect diagram - File:Open cluster HR diagram ages.gif[edit]

Description of first image

Article(s): en:Hertzsprung–Russell diagram and a number of other places

Request:

As pointed out by an editor on the file's talk page, the label of the diagram's vertical axis needs to be changed. Either the text of the label should be changed to "Luminosity" or, if the text "Absolute magnitude" is retained, the arrow should point downward rather than upward. (I prefer the first one myself, but the second is OK if it's easier.) An editor attempted to fix this a few days ago but uploaded a corrected version at a weird size, so that thumbnails showed a tiny graph with white space to the right of and below it. When I brought this to his attention, he reverted to the original version, so the diagram is incorrect again.

Barnstars for Wiki Loves Monuments helpers from the UK[edit]

The WLM logo
The winners' logo

Article(s): For use in Userspace on Commons and on en WP.

Request:

Several volunteers have given significant amounts of to help prepare for the UK's first contribution to the Wiki Loves Monuments competition, and we would like to be able to award some barnstars. I could probably make my own by plonking the WLM logo on top of a standard barnstar, but I wondered if a graphist might be able to do something more professional :) The barnstars would in any event need to look a bit different from the logo above, which is used to indicate one of the winning images in the competition. If it's difficult to incorporate the WLM logo into something new, perhaps something with a camera theme would work, as it is a photographic competition.

Optimizing Google Logo SVG[edit]

Google Logo

Article(s): Google

Request:

This logo seems need optimization, 500kb (or even 200-300kb) for such simple text logo seems very huge. I even fear it had some hidden annotations or data. I hope someone will optimize it without change its appearance so it will be more usable for web/mobile apps to use or embed it (and of-course it will consumes less resource from WikiMedia servers that has less importance). --−ebraminio^talk 08:57, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid this Logo has to be redone from scratch. The current file is a "pixel-perfect" vectorization of a raster graphics (e.g. one Pixel was converted to a small rectangle of the same size). --Patrick87 (talk) 11:09, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): The third on your list appears to have the same file linked twice. Which file did you actually want editing? NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 14:49, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

3) Corrected it, replace the lion in the greater arms by the one from the lesser one, which quality is better.--Antemister (talk) 15:04, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we should modify Sodacan's arms in this way. Unlike the other requests here, that was created as one coherent piece of artwork, not just a composite of existing elements. If you can show a source where the lion in the first image is more accurate, then I will consider making the change.

Also, regarding the first one, did you just want the shield's shape to be altered, or is there some other thing that needs to be changed as well? NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 15:48, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I personally would suggest not altering the lion in Sodacan's File:Coat of Arms of the Republic of Malawi.svg. It's style is in the same feel as the rest of the image. Fry1989 ^eh? 15:50, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning the first one, it's only the shape of the field which should be modified according to the sources, the image itself is excellent artwork. Concering Sodacan's heraldry, I'll ask himself what to do, as it seems for me that he took this lion from another image.--Antemister (talk) 17:42, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've altered the shield as you requested. In lieu of a reply from Sodacan, this request is now resolved. NikNaks _{talk - gallery - wikipedia} 12:14, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Remove "watermark" from image soon to be on Main Page[edit]

Illustration from Mark Twain's Joan of Arc book

Article(s): Currently in en:Frank DuMond and will be on en:Main Page

Request:

I've heard that there's a tool which will remove watermarks. This may be a little trickier, as the "watermark" actually consists of holes punched in the paper. I would greatly appreciate it if this could be cleaned up, as I've included it in a DYK nomination. Although the markings won't show up in the 100px thumbnail when it's on the Main Page, thousands of people may click through to the article and/or on the image. If a cleanup isn't possible, I guess the bottom (as well as the border) could just be cropped off. Thanks! XARAdNAM • MAИbAЯAX 22:51, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Normally one would convert everything that is white now to transparency. Only question: Do you want the "white parts" of the beaver himself to be transparent, too, or should those be kept opaque (white) as they are now and only the surrounding white areas removed? --Patrick87 (talk) 23:43, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The first option would be best, but the latter would be fine if it is easier. Thank you for your help with this. Much appreciated. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 12:46, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of the Principality of Seborga[edit]

Flag to be modified

Article(s): See here

Request:

The flag, as it is now, is wrong. The correct version is this one: no blue vertical line to the left of the horizontal bands, different crown (more stylized), the group of the crown and the coat of arms (to be fixed too) is larger (the two items touch on virtually the top edge and the lower), proportions are more similar to those of the Italian flag (2:3) rather than to those of the Mexican one (4:7) (as it would appear from the wrong version), furthermore the left part with the crown and the crest must correspond to 1/3 while the horizontal bands occupy 2/3 of the flag. Is it possible to create a vector file and load it as the correct version of the file in the gallery? Thank you! --InfattiVedeteCheViDice (talk) 16:34, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

(not working on this, just a comment) I searched the Web for "seborga flag" and opened three pages from the results,

All three have the vertical blue line like the SVG, with a crown that looks like the Dropbox version. I saw two different aspect ratios. Rybec (talk) 07:47, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know that on the Internet there are almost only versions with vertical blue line, but they are wrong too! Look here: it is the Facebook profile of a former minister of the time of Giorgio I, who complains about the incorrectness of the flags with the line. Also, there is no reference to the blue vertical line in the article about the flag in the General Statutes of Seborga: "The Flag of the Principality of Seborga is divided into 2 parts. The left side, corresponding to 1/3 of the length, has white background, with a blue shield and a white cross surmounted by the crown of the Holy Roman Empire; the right side, corresponding to 2/3 of the length, is made up of alternating horizontal bands of white and blue in a number equal to 9". --InfattiVedeteCheViDice (talk) 09:14, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that Commons has also this version of the flag, which is more realistic than the SVG file above. The new file I am requesting should be essentially a vectorized version of this file to be uploaded as a new version of the file in the gallery above. --InfattiVedeteCheViDice (talk) 09:21, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Baghouse-type air-pollution cleaners (used on smokestacks for power plants / factories)[edit]

Request: The .JPG files currently in the baghouse article are from the OSHA website, and are too small to read the annotations. I contacted OSHA enquiring after the original image, they referred me to the library at the Mine Health and Safety Academy where I received a .PDF scan of the publication (the source of the above .PNG's).

At this link Shaker you can have a look at a suggestion I made. Tell me what you think and how to improve it or likewise. I want some feed back before I finish it and make the other ones, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:57, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Goran tek-en, great work! Some small proposals for improvement:

Remove the Baghouse name from the SVG. It's not necessary and fits better into the image description.
Make the other texts larger so they can be read when the image is embedded in thumbnail size (=width of 220px).
You could consider tuning the filling patterns a little. Personally I'd like a more homogeneous look.
The "shakers" could be improved a little (one sees you traced them from the raster graphics).

--Patrick87 (talk) 22:21, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will do some changes and let you know. No I have not traced it but I have kept it close to the original as I thought that was the idea. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:44, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a new svg version Shaker svg

Here is a png_220 image Shaker png

I have adjusted the fillings but I think it should not be homogeneous as this is dirt particles and what I can see, it's like that in the drawing also.

I haven't changed the appearance of the shakers as I don't know what they look like in real (this a drawing of something), all I have to go on is the drawing. If you still think they should be changed you have to tell me more exactly what you mean and I will look at it. Nothing is traced, it's all done from scratch. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:00, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Now you can look at them here;

Let me know what you think so I can finish this, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:29, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have asked @Hobart: @Patrick87: to look at the provided draft and give me feedback. At this point I haven't received any feedback so I will now upload this version.
This is the image Reverse-Jet.svg.

This is the image Mechanical-Shaker.svg.
If you by any other point need changes, just contact me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:28, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Since you specifically mentioned me: You ignored most of the advice I initially gave you (and I think it's still valid) so you probably can guess yourself why I didn't give any further feedback... --Patrick87 (talk) 17:42, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Patrick87: I did not ignore your advices;

Remove the Baghouse name..., I did so.

Make the other texts larger..., I did so.

You could consider tuning..., I did tune it but this is a matter of personal liking as you wrote yourself.

The "shakers" could be improved..., I did improve them and as I wrote before I did not use any tracing device.

So why this should make you feel some kind of hurt and not together helping us all do the best I can't understand.

The hole idea with this is that we are doing it together so one persons thoughts is not what have is the truth.

I'm sorry if I hurt you in any way but I can't really see how. Talk to me and we can make something good together. --Goran tek-en (talk) 21:58, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, maybe there was some misunderstanding here. To clarify my suggestions:

I'd remove the whole descriptive text ("Mechanical Shaker", "Reverse Air" and "Reverse Jet") from the image. This text should be included in the image description and should be included in an appropriate manner when embedding the image. It should not be part of the image itself. This will also make the image clearer and reduce vertical space needed when embedded in articles.
You slightly increased the size of texts but it is still very small to read when embedded in the default size (220px width, see gallery above where I added your images in this rendering size).
The fill pattern you used to depict dirty gas is in fact tuned to the one you used in your original version. This is probably OK now.
With the shakers I only wanted to express that they look a bit bulky (as if automatically traced, sorry if this wasn't the case) and could potentially use some polishing. But this is your decision as it is your interpretation of the source and I concur that it is hard to tell how these parts should look from the source and even harder to create something on one's own if one does not know the actual appearance of such parts.

I'd be happy if you would reconsider these points but the graphics are already very good as they are now so it is up to you. --Patrick87 (talk) 00:04, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

But I don't understand, I just explained that I did change according to your thoughts for the most. So what else would you have differently? I'm always open to constructive feedback. --Goran tek-en (talk) 00:14, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Read again especially points one and two... They still apply for your current images and are not yet fixed. Points three and four are (as I wrote) mostly fixed, I just wanted to clarify here. The important points are (and were) one and two! --Patrick87 (talk) 00:44, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How good that we took this discussion for as usual it's all a misunderstanding. I have now changed the drawings again with your better explanations as base. I hope the size of the texts are OK now because to me they are very close to a point were they get to big and kind of overtake the drawing. It's not always possible to be able to read text in such a small size without destroying the hole drawing. One can use some of the png versions which are rendered automatically; 200 500 1000 2000px to be able to view it larger.
As for the shakers I'm happy to change them if you provide me with som other information on how they looked. It's also so that they try to show some kind of shaking movement to them. I hope all of this make us both as happy as we can regarding this and that we can work together in the future. Thanks for explaining and talking to me, I think that is a better way then just be silent. --Goran tek-en (talk) 12:56, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Upload a cropped version of the crown on the coat of arms (above) and upload over this one. This one is less well made.~~
Done, the crown from the coat of arms alone

Graphist opinion(s):

Why do you think overwriting the existing files was an acceptable solution? If you can agree with the original uploaders that your proposed version fits better this might be acceptable, otherwise the derivative work needs to be uploaded with a new name. Overwriting would substantially change the files content and therefore clearly violate COM:OVERWRITE. --Patrick87 (talk) 22:26, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For the first three, User:Glasshouse has changed the crowns many time including the crown I suggested. I will just go remind him on those three. As for overwriting the fifth one, I am not going to argue with you, although I really don't like it. So can someone please create a derivative image of the crown on File:Royal Coat of Arms of Hawaii.svg made by User:Sodacan?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:57, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your understanding. I don't want to be the spoilsport here, but changing files around to ones personal needs is disallowed for good reasons (e.g. messing up copyright in a way that files can't be easily reused when not giving all the names of the uploaders – who strictly speaking never stated that they wanted to use the license applied to the original upload and never stated how the wanted to be attributed). Even the multiple changes of Glasshouse do not really comply with COM:OVERWRITE and would have been uploaded under a new name. --Patrick87 ([[User talk:Patrick87|<span

Transparency for wordmark[edit]

MTSU wordmark

Request:

I'm looking for someone to make the outside white area transparent. I've tried to do this myself with Paint Shop Pro 9 and just can't do it without leaving an ugly white border around the letters. Any advice on that would be appreciated as well. Thanks! — Huntster (t @ c) 03:09, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks AnonMoos, but I was hoping to avoid the white border issue, as I alluded to in my request. If someone else can pull this off, it would be appreciated. — Huntster (t @ c) 14:59, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Patrick. Any suggestions on how I might do this myself in the future? — Huntster (t @ c) 00:04, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm always using GIMP for the job. For easy images one can just use the "fuzzy selection" (aka magic wand) and/or "select by color" tools to select and delete the background. For more complex images with full alpha channel and to prevent the mentioned white border issue "layer -> transparency -> color to transparency" is the way to go (It might cause transparency in areas which should be opaque, though. This can be fixed by working with multiple layers and combining them appropriately but is a little bit more work.). --Patrick87 (talk) 00:29, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, thanks. I tried using GIMP as well, but I'm obviously incompetent with it as I could not obtain a similar result. Ah well. Thanks for everyone's help here. — Huntster (t @ c) 02:00, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Both opened perfectly in Inkscape 0.48 on Windows XP. Could it be an Inkscape problem (plugins perhaps) or some other issue. Shyamal (talk) 03:03, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've managed to open up the Commerce one (using Inkscape 0.48.4 on Windows 7), but the Energy one is not opening for me. Another user, Fry1989 is also experiencing some issues with opening them. Also, the Commerce SVG seems to be overlapping out of the SVG's boundaries. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 05:26, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ubuntu 12.04 and Inkscape 0.48. Commerce open and Energy won't open but it opens in Gimp as bitmap.

It's not visible at first glance. To see what I am referring to, please open up the Commerce seal SVG in Inkscape and follow these instructions:

1.) Click "Edit" on the top bar.
2.) From the drop down menu, click "Select All"
3.) Go to File, and then to Document Properties.
4.) Resize page to drawing/selection.

Regards, Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 16:10, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have a semi-obsolete version of Inkscape (which I don't actually use to edit SVG files) on my computer, and US-DeptOfCommerce-Seal.svg looks fine in it, but the File menu doesn't have a "Document Properties" option, so I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave. If a problem only appears in a few versions of one program (but not in other programs or other versions of the same program), then the bug is likely to be with the program, not the file... AnonMoos (talk) 08:12, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I uninstalled my Inkscape, did a clean install using the latest version of the program available on the program's website, and I still get the same error. I think the problem might be with a background layer that extends beyond the boundaries of the SVG. Selecting the entire SVG in Inkscape and resizing the page to that boundary resizes the page to 931.62 by 1171.18 pixels. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 09:39, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done Yes I found it and removed it. New version is uploaded. --Goran tek-en (talk) 12:59, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s):

Yes there are some differences but if one looks around there are several different images all with some differences so its hard to tell which one is the right one. The same with the color, it's really hard to decide from images you find some where. To be absolutely sure one should have a written definition and I don't think there is one. Then the color of an image also depends on where it's viewed, different screens, prints and so on. It's almost impossible to get a true color. So I'm not sure what to do, maybe someone who has been around longer here can give some insight. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:35, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Accurate vectorization of Byzantine Eagle[edit]

The most detailed image we've got of a Byzantine eagle.
Another primary image
Note the double-headed eagles on the empress' vestments
The image that we have now. Unfortunately its merely based on this image and not on primary source material. Its essentially a-historical.

Article(s): Oh this can and would certainly be used on a huge number of articles related to Roman and Byzantine history, across multiple projects I imagine. en:Byzantine Empire, en:Byzantine emperors, en:Double-headed eagle, en:Byzantine insignia, etc. etc.

Request:

Hello gents. Its recently become obvious we need a proper and accurate SVG vectorization of the actual historical double-headed eagle used by the Byzantine Empire (which is in effect the original double-headed eagle in history). The only image currently available is a modification of the flag of the Greek Orthodox Church, and is not based on primary sources.

Submitted above are two images depicting the Byzantine double-headed eagle. Others as well as myself working on Byzantine history articles would greatly appreciate it if we had a historically-accurate vector version based on one or more of them (preferably the first, more detailed image). The eagle is historically on a red background (see shades in the above SVG image), but we could use another version with no background as well.

None of this is to say the image need necessarily be a 100% faithful rendition, those images are primitive Medieval artwork after all: Imo feel free to take some license in making the eagle (particularly the heads) look more regal and/or "cool", if you will, but its general appearance should be faithful. In other words, it need not quite look so much as the Imperial Double-Headed Happy Duck, as opposed to an eagle :).

Thanks in advance, --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 17:49, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I support DIREKTOR's request, such a rendering would be highly desirable. Further cases of the "Byzantine-style" double-headed eagle can be found here and here. --Constantine ✍ 18:45, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Judging by the example pictures, there was no such thing as "Byzantine-style" double-headed eagle. Everyone was simply drawing it the way they could, and if you mimic them, you won't make it more Byzantine than the modern rendition by the Orthodox church. Hellerick (talk) 02:31, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not so. As you can see from the first two images in the gallery above, a level of "standardization" did exist, when the eagle was used in larger scale. And these "standard" versions look nothing like the modern-day Greek version. It is upon these that we believe a proper, historical eagle might be based. As things are, the obvious derivative, dare I say, "national(ist)", nature of the current eagle limits its use. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 08:38, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As a Russian I must say, that our two-headed eagle isn't that much standardized. On the coat of arms, on the coins, as used by the military, in emblems of different organizations it looks somewhat differently. As far as I know in Germany the situation is pretty much the same. I doubt in the Middle Age heraldic emblems were more conform. Anyway, isn't this image what you need? Hellerick (talk) 16:24, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what this matters? The point is that we don't have a double-headed eagle based on Byzantine primary sources: i.e. a real image. And no, that image is not what we need: that image is based on the church flag also, and the eagle is on a red field, or its not Byzantine. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 17:20, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You should take another look at the linked file. It is not based on the church flag, but on the images given. The main difference is of course the tail. It shouldn't be too hard to make a derivative version with a red field. Lemmens, Tom (talk) 14:25, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Terribly sorry for my belated response. The draft looks great, and I agree it should be posted separately. In terms of feedback I first must say I admire your attention to detail, but do suggest that the symbol be a bit more stylized, and symmetrical: yes, the Byzantine eagle from the source image is not quite symmetrical, but I think we can assume it was intended to be such. Its up to you, however; your work will be appreciated equally either way, and I'm sure it'll be all over the projects in no time. Regards --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 15:28, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did it a bit more symmetrical but the heads are not symmetrical either so I stopped there. What I understand you were thinking about keeping it a bit more simple, less lines/details. As you did notice I'm a detail person and to me that gives the whole illustration it's value. Of course sometimes you really want a very simple illustration and that's fine but this I would like to keep like this. I understand when you show just a thumb everything is not visible but then you can make the thumb larger or download any of the png versions which are created on the same file page.
You can find the new version here Byzantine Eagle and you should probably have a look at the categories, description and so on, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 20:08, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Blazon[edit]

I didn't know where to ask about this, but since many heraldry interested people contribute here, I try here:

What would a blazon in English for File:Berenberg COA.svg look like? The German language blazon is: "Im goldenen Felde auf einem grünen Schildfuß ein nach rechts aufgerichteter schwarzer Bär mit goldenem Halsband, in den Vorderpranken einen grünen Zweig haltend" Vanasan (talk) 12:35, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Have you looked for this section: en:Blazon#Grammar? (at the image-comments)

But yes, ~~many~~ most of this CoA-English-Nobility are really poorly documented about their blazon ...

... looks as if you have more to investigate in the (web-)references of each CoA!
