SVG-size

Hi and thank you for creating and uploading SVG-Files for Commons - this files haves a large file-size - are you used in creating svg-files? what method did you use for File:Flag of Berbera.svg? simply my source could have used - i dont know, but perhaps @Sarang: would also help you and answer questions as a svg-expert --Mrmw (talk) 08:56, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

@Mrmw: I used https://www.vectorizer.io/ i am not svg creator and thank you for info.--Siirski (talk) 09:31, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

i see - i think, this tool takes the given input-svg as raster-image - and creates a new vector-image - this is completely unnecessary - you create a huge loss of quality with a very large filesize

you should use an editor like inkscape to create and edit svg-files - please compare quality and filesize for both files:

• File:Berbera local council logo 02.svg
• File:Flag of Berbera.svg

i will upload a new version for your file - you can compare both in filehistory --Mrmw (talk) 13:54, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

@Mrmw: Thank you very much for helping me and i will use inkscape. --Siirski (talk) 14:02, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Mrmw: , sorry but could you make File:Berbera local council logo 02 like flag please? again thank you for the great work again.

Category hierarchy

Regarding your uploads of Somaliland military photos, note that per COM:OVERCAT images should not be categorised in both a subcategory and its parent category. For example, an image categorised within Category:Somaliland National Army should not be categorised under Category:Military of Somaliland as well, as the first is already a subcategory of the other.

Request

Hi, can you pls make a vector version c:File:Flag of Kropotkin (Krasnodar krai).png and c:File:Coat of Arms of Kropotkin (Krasnodar krai).png?
I also suggest vectorizing the coats of arms of the Somali entities of Khatumo State, Awdalland, Hirshabelle and Azania (although I need to upload them first) Roman Kubanskiy (talk) 09:46, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

• 
  Greater Coat of Arms svg  Done
• 
  Middle Coat of Arms svg  Done

@Roman Kubanskiy: ,  Done. --Siirski (talk) 13:09, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. About the coat of arms, I think, it's too much. It has too thick black outlines (I think it's better to either remove them, or make them less dark, well, that is, so that they are darker than the elements of the coat of arms). Also I looked at the official website of the town administration (here, and here it's too red, but I don't think we should change its color. On the flag there is an extra white stripe at the top, I think it should be fixed. Roman Kubanskiy (talk) 13:55, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

@Roman Kubanskiy: , I will Redrawn as per http://gorod-kropotkin.ru/o-gorode/simvolika-goroda/. --Siirski (talk) 14:42, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

@Roman Kubanskiy: ,  Done. --Siirski (talk) 17:03, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. also, the flag needs a correction, there is an erroneous white space at the top. Roman Kubanskiy (talk) 17:16, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

@Roman Kubanskiy: ,  Done.--Siirski (talk) 17:55, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Geographic map of Somaliland

Hi Siirski, I see you made a change of my map and corrected the eastern border. I disagree with this and reverted the map for the following reasons:

1. According to the en:Somalia–Somaliland border article this border is disputed between Somalia and the self-declared sovereign state of Somaliland. I do not want to enter into political discussions but only reflect this facts on the map. For this reason I would like to keep this border in a different shape.
2. You modified directly the work and therefore changed the content of the original file. According to the guidelines for updating files in Wikimedia Commons you cannot make Controversial or contested changes when overwriting existing files. You are free to adapt the work but please read the license how to do it.
3. By modifying my work you made some technical changes and lost some of the features I have created (the data was organised in layers).

I understand your political views but please respect the work of the others. Such behaviour will make me regret to work on maps for areas with arguable status. Cheers --Ikonact (talk) 08:02, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Ikonact: , This is my fault, I understand and I'm sorry for my mistakes with all due respect to you I hope you keep working on your great maps. Siirski (talk) 08:29, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Regional maps of Somaliland

Hi Siirski, I saw you recently uploaded very detailed regional maps of Somalilland. Did you do these maps yourself and can you tell me what is the data source? thanks--Ikonact (talk) 09:35, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Ikonact: , These maps are Self-made - based upon Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Somalia.

Here is the data source FSNAU Siirski (talk) 06:15, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. Did you vectorised the pdf with Inkscape?--Ikonact (talk) 08:36, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes and some of my own editing. Siirski (talk) 17:31, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I've noticed in File:Somaliland regions map.png there's an inconsistency in your last update.

The legenda in the bottom of the page doesn't make so much sense after the removal of the striped area.

If you are sure that the lands are not anymore disputed remove the legenda, otherwise, please restore the stripes where they were. Thanks, --Andyrom75 (talk) 15:48, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
