Overall improvement, as much as you might be interested and able to do.
Hello. I recently was able to draw this CoA of Catholic Church in Georgia, but my drawing skills are very basic, and the image in general is much inferior to the original (Specially the knot on the Cross - according to the legend, it was knotted not with a rope, but with hair - and I subsequently failed to make it look like hair).

SVG Chart

Hi, it seems that the template SVG Chart is not being maintained anymore. I found the instructions a bit cryptic and I note that in the last few years, there are only a few posts on the talk page, most of which have gone unanswered. Should this page perhaps be marked historical or deprecated or something? I also see a reference to "another SVG generator that is under development" from 2015, do you know what/where that is? Alternatively, do you know of a better way to create SVG charts that can easily be updated by laypeople? I have tried various pieces of software, but they all produce SVG files that have completely unreadable source code (for humans). I really like the idea of this SVG Chart template... Is it true that the Graph extension needs to be applied to every language wiki separately as claimed on the same talk page? KarlFrei (talk) 09:04, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Request
Please fix displaying of text "Lithosphere" in the current version – on preview/bitmap images it is not displayed at all and SVG under Firefox does not look nice, although the text is visible. IMO all texts should look like in version from 16th December 2019. --jdx Re: 10:48, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
The renderer does not have some of the text attributes coded, so sometimes text won't render in PNGs despite it appearing fine when looking at the SVGs in browsers.
In the older version, the text was converted into paths. This means that it looks consistent across all browsers, but is impossible to translate. You may prefer the text when it was like this, but it seems that the choice was made to make the file translatable.
I have corrected the file without changing the text back to paths, but the label follows a straight line rather than a curve. If this doesn't look good to you, then you may want to propose that the file is reverted to how it was in December 2018. NikNaks talk - gallery - wikipedia 11:50, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
What about font size? On the preview (generated by rsvg AFAIR) texts are much bigger than in SVG rendered by my FF. A problem with font substitution list? BTW. Perhaps "Lithosphere" should be converted into paths… --jdx Re: 12:10, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I think the UK should not be marked in green as that map seems to mark in green the members of the EEA area. And I think the UK is not a member of EEA for the time being. As regards Croatia of course it should be blue. Are there not other maps already updated depicting Croacia as member of the EU?. Regards, Basquetteur.

I get that, why can’t we have the UK in red to show the UK is withdrawing from the EEA. Also I haven’t seen any other maps at this time showing Croatia as a EEA. (2A02:C7F:5622:2000:6816:E7A1:D642:D710 07:19, 15 February 2020 (UTC))
Non-graphist comment

The map shows countries that are (a) in (b) not in the EEA. Marking otherwise would introduce an entirely new element. Comment for graphist, not at all intended to patronise (made in case you're outside the UK, because it's not always known by non-UK people): there is a small part of the UK on the island of Ireland, which has also left the EU, namely Northern Ireland.

Help with GIFs

Article(s): [[]]

Request
I require assistance in making high quality GIF images. As you can see in the example provided above, my GIF has choppy edges around the outside of the red triangle, however I have seen plenty of GIF files without this flaw. If someone could make a higher quality version, or better yet teach me how to do so myself (as there are other GIF files I wish to upload in the future), I would be most thankful. Fry1989 eh? 20:03, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)

Fry1989 Can´t it have something to do with scaling the image. If you look at the gif in 100% (1,200 × 1,049 pixels) the edges looks much better. All images should be made as close as it can to the image size it will be viewed in. Diagonal lines in gif is very sensitive to patterns like this. Gif uses indexed colors and they are as most 255 (256) colors. The one you have made is 239 colors so if you start from the svg file and convert it in Gimp, save as gif it will get 255 colors. That and a correct size might make it better. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:23, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

The size of the file probably does have an impact as I made it quite large. I have found instructions for using GIMP and Blender here, I will give that an attempt. Fry1989 eh? 19:48, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
It looks like I have been able to improve the GIF. The edges are still a bit jagged but not as much as before. Fry1989 eh? 21:01, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi Fry1989. You're running into an inherent limitation of the GIF file format. Pixels in a GIF can either be fully opaque or fully transparent, but not partially transparent. Your edges look jagged because there is a hard boundary where the transparent background takes over that can't be smoothed out with semi-transparent red pixels.
You'll find that the jaggedness will disappear if you make the background white, but this may not be ideal for all scenarios. NikNaks talk - gallery - wikipedia 14:49, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
Ah, I see. Such a shame. Oh well, I'll have to accept it for what it is then, unless there is a better alternative to the GIF format. Fry1989 eh? 18:39, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

That looks great, thanks Carlinmack! Would you mind also creating a version in yellow? I think the reason the linked version looks purple is a scanning issue; in person it looks black and white, while the yellow version is contained on a plate (which is outside the Google Books preview).

Unexpected error message in uploading SVG diagram

Power-system protection

Request

Hi, I have been referred here to ask this question. If this is still not the right place please let me know.

I have created a new drawing using Draw.io. Here is a link to the drawing I have made: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eYe2KxfoSikfo3jDIttvpl99SJ1lqE1f I have exported a copy of this drawing in .svg format, but when I try to upload this into Wikimedia Commons I get this error message:

Time-graded co-ordination.svg This SVG file contains an illegal namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml".

I have now conducted a few tests. A version of the diagram without text labels uploaded successfully. See: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Time-graded_co-ordination.svg When I then added text labels - either inside a polygon, or as a separate text box, and tried to upload a new version, I got the same error message. Frustrating.

I had a look at Inkscape as a different tool, but it seems excessively complicated and difficult to use. Plus it doesn't seem to have the nice libraries of pre-defined objects and symbols that I want to use.

Can you suggest anything please ? I have spent a bit of time creating this drawing, and I want to use it in the Wikipedia article on Power-system protection, so I need to overcome this problem. Continuing to uses Draw.io is my preference but I must add text labels I hope you can help. Marshelec (talk) 03:47, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

I do understand your point on easier translation but a lot of people do not know how to check if a svg contains raster graphics and there fore it can not be used as a true svg.

The resolution of this PNG image is excellent. I do not see any application here that requires a higher resolution. To vectorize this COA would end up in a loss of detail quality and authenticity.

I am sorry, but I have to intervene. Citing Voltaire, "The Better is the enemy of the Good"

  • @RCraig09: - Good job. But as you have experienced it now how difficult and time-consuming the task is. As so many details are insufficient (e.g. Bohemian lion has no yellow claws, lines and borders are mixed and its thickness in wrong order, etc) this is not an acceptable and suitable vectorisation. - MaxxL - talk 07:13, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Small coat of arms of the Czech Republic.svg
User:Janbery: @MaxxL: Definitely, the lion was the most difficult and time-consuming portion! Earlier, I could not find a clear image of the Kadaň lion. However, now, you mention the "Bohemian lion" and today I found the image at right (for the entire Czech Republic). The Czech Republic lion is much clearer. Can the Czech Republic lion be substituted into the Kadaň coat of arms? (I apologize for not understanding these things.) —RCraig09 (talk) 16:41, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Update: I have replaced the lion with that from File:Small coat of arms of the Czech Republic.svg to form Version 2 of the Kadaň coat of arms. If this change is not acceptable, it can be reverted to Version 1. —RCraig09 (talk) 02:43, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
  • @Janbery: - The rule is stated in the VVA template flag: "This is a vector version of this file. It should be used in place of this raster image when not inferior.". It is obvious that the JPG version is superior in detail and authenticity. Having explained the shortcoming of this SVG the replacements have to be reverted. - MaxxL - talk 07:13, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
  • @MaxxL: @Janbery: Can you tell me if the updated version, using the improved lion, is acceptable? Is there something more that I can do? If needed, I would rather do a little bit more work and have it be acceptable. —RCraig09 (talk) 18:12, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
Dear @RCraig09: - I personally appriciate your contribution of this CoA. But judging it as a true vector version it fails. It takes more. Just loading both images in inkscape in two levels shows the short commings. It takes more than graphic skills and inkscape experience to deliver a sufficent result. i am glad you took on the challenge buit the original is still "better" than your faksimile. Pls don't be discouraged to take other graphic vector improvments. - MaxxL - talk 16:42, 26 April 2020 (UTC) (handeicaped and using speechrecognition in place)
I was hoping you MaxxL could be more specific as to why my new graphic fails. Is it the visual appearance (authenticity)? Or is it a problem internal to my SVG construction? (I don't understand why "two levels", or what the "shortcomings" are.) —RCraig09 (talk) 16:56, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
If you could provide a link to a higher-resolution version of this particular CoA, that would be helpful. File:Coat of arms of Kadaň.png is very pixellated. —RCraig09 (talk) 16:58, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
I can put in a lookalike lion on this arms from the original picture. If its OK by RCraig09 I'll put it in. Regards, --D'Arch (talk) 17:40, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
@D'Arch: I'm not sure what you mean by "original picture". Is it the small, unclear, pixellated image File:Coat of arms of Kadaň.png? If so, I don't think that would be an improvement over the lion in File:Small coat of arms of the Czech Republic.svg. I think that User:MaxxL was raising different objections. —RCraig09 (talk) 18:52, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
First, there are several versions online. This seems to be the original drawing. See the differences in the lion. However, the request is for the edited JPG version. There's no lion with golden tongue or crown. The PNG. drawing is in high resolution, it should not be a problem to make a vector of this with an authentic look. That is, definitely use the original lion, not stick something on it that has a different style.
See my version, which will be 90% equal to the original. If I wish this to 100%, skewed or uneven lines from the original would have to be copied exactly. Your version will be 60% because you have used a lion in a different style and appearance. --D'Arch (talk) 05:20, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
You User talk:D'Arch have certainly done an amazing job. I wish I had a better 'original' to work from. My Google searches only turned up pixellated images. I'm still unsure what the authoritative "right" CoA is. But you have certainly made a high-quality image that mostly closely matches Janberry's original version File:Coat of arms of Kadaň.png. —RCraig09 (talk) 16:52, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
@RCraig09: - I just have to disclose a little secret: Arch has a more than 15 years experience in artistic heraldry. Only three more "masters" of his skill are still busy here and you have to be patient as their appearance is rare and suddenly. ;-) - MaxxL - talk 17:08, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
:-) —RCraig09 (talk) 17:41, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
@ RCraig09, keep on drawing, you are doing an excellent job. Your first version is always better than version two, because it is authentic. Authenticity is more important than its beauty or details. Although it is less clear, the lion just belongs to that drawing. @ MaxxL thanks for the kind words, it is nice to see that you are still here. Kind regards to all and have a nice day.
Thank you for your guidance, User talk:D'Arch. I will be reverting my upload to "Version 1", which though cruder than your "Version II", is probably more authentic than my "Version 2". —RCraig09 (talk) 17:26, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Creation and upload completed. Please verify acceptability, as I had to interpret various ambiguities. —RCraig09 (talk) 15:55, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
Beautiful, thank you! Yes, there are some things I should have clarified. First, the length of the synthetic aperture is the total travel distance of the aperture (the place where the red lines exit the box) along the azimuth. Is there a way we can illustrate that more clearly? That's probably the single most important point of the figure, and I know the original file I submitted didn't depict it well. Second, the swath width should be elongated along y so it covers the fill width of the red circle. Finally, it might make things simpler if we made the y axis pass through the red dot on the left, and then instead of the black dashed line, we had theta_a going from the left red dashed line to the y axis. Thanks again, and please let me know if you have other questions! Rob Hurt (talk) 19:43, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for your explanations, User:Rob Hurt.
  1. I'm not sure what you mean by "where the red lines exit the box" since the red lines exit the box at is, literally, a point, not a distance. Which two points in the diagram, exactly, determine the SA's length? And which two points, exactly, should those two points be aligned with?
  2. No problemo re width of swath. That change actually simplifies things!
  3. No problemo re moving axes.
I don't want to proceed again without understanding Item 1. —RCraig09 (talk) 20:36, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
Sure, sorry about that. The box itself is actually moving along the azimuth, sending out and collecting pulses of light as it goes. So the synthetic aperture is the distance from the point where the red lines exit during the first pulse, to that point when the box has moved all the way down the azimuth. Maybe this picture (https://www.dlr.de/content/en/articles/missions-projects/terrasar-x/synthetic-aperture-radar.html) makes the scanning nature more clear. Does that help some? Maybe we could duplicate the box and the lines coming out of it and paste a more transparent version of it further down the azimuth to show the motion. Or would that make the image to cluttered? Rob Hurt (talk) 20:59, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
I had always wondered why the 2016 diagram was so different from most other SAR diagrams, in not really showing motion! It makes sense to introduce a second transceivers/ellipse set. I should complete that (non-trivial) change within a day. —RCraig09 (talk) 21:52, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Article(s): en:Time of flight

Request
Could someone make a nice image showing the concept of time-of-flight? Here are some images for inspiration: ([3]), ([4]), ([5])
The concept it needs to depict is that a laser sends a pulse of light at the target, the pulse bounces off and gets detected by the camera, and the time that this process takes is measured. Then the distance can be calculated as: distance = (speed of light) / (time of flight). Please let me know if there are any questions! --Rob Hurt (talk) 21:13, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Is a simplified version of the timing diagram in Fig. 9 of this patent be OK? The patent shows multiple echoes; we would be concerned with only one echo.

Hm. I was just thinking that the sine waves in the light paths might be inappropriate. Should they be square pulses? or left out altogether? —04:41, 1 May 2020 (UTC) But then again, a pulse would just be a pulsed sine wave, yes? —RCraig09 (talk) 05:20, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
Beautiful! I think this is great. To answer your question, technically it would look like this (thumb|Pulse-chirp), but really in 3D like this this. Up to you if you want to include that detail. The only thing I'm wondering is if this would be clear to someone who didn't understand the concept, or if they might miss the fact that the y axis is time and would think that the laser and camera have to move. There's no question that this is technically correct, but do you think it would be more clear to make two copies of the image, one with the pulse traveling to the target and one with it traveling away? Just a thought, but do what you think is best! Rob Hurt (talk) 18:22, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
— I'm presuming you mean the top waveform of Pulse-chirp; hmmm, I'll experiment to see what the details look like in context.
— The link to http://data:image/... etc... does not work ("about:blank#blocked").

Pulsed sinusoid has been added per your suggestion. The diagram must remain a diagram of a single physical dimension over time, so I opted against a 3-D version of the sinusoid, which would have added confusion. —RCraig09 (talk) 04:55, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

slight error, made by a 3rd party, to "paint in" the resulting winning party of a local-election results-map (Hyndburn 2016) ...

Article(s): w:2016 Hyndburn Borough Council election

Request

In the 2016 Hyndburn Borough Council election, ONLY two ward-seats were won by Conservatives / the two neighbouring Barnfield & Baxenden wards (bottom-RIGHT corner of map) , the erroneous [St Oswalds ward, bottom LEFT corner - looks like "Florida"] was won by Labour and should be paint-filled in as RED, not as BLUE.

I am currently working on a draft-copy of the next 2020-Hyndburn Borough Council-elections results page, which references the previous 4yr old results. Over the past decade, I've relied upon other 3rd-party contributors to "edit/tweak" the results-maps, as I myself an NOT any kind of a "paintshop-expert".

. EG, in 2014 "they" picked a much darked BLUE than previously/subsequently used ... and 'again' in 2018, another 'darker blue' was used ...

pls refer to - w:2012 Hyndburn Borough Council election w:2014 Hyndburn Borough Council election w:2018 Hyndburn Borough Council election w:2019 Hyndburn Borough Council election

Chart of New Zealand Political System

Please create an svg version of this chart. --Hazhk (talk) 15:12, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
Before vectorization to SVG: should this chart be refined in substance before being used? Compare to Constitution Act 1986. —RCraig09 (talk) 16:08, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
It's not a comprehensive chart but it gives a brief summary of the New Zealand political system. If one were to make a more detailed version of the chart then perhaps a modified version of this comparable chart of the UK political system – with the lower house named "House of Representatives" and minus the upper house (the Lords), with the addition of the governor-general — would be more suitable. I don't know how easy it would be to modify the UK chart, but perhaps that would be more informative. Thanks for the suggestion. --Hazhk (talk) 16:38, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
—I would feel much more comfortable if you could first modify your own diagram, with the interconnecting lines being explained, and element names being more formally correct (since the diagram is for an encyclopedia). For example, the names "government departments" and "statutory bodies" are vague, or so broad as to cover entities not directly under the executive.
—See Category:Political organization charts. The particular example File:Political System of the United States.svg is more detailed than you need to be, but I think it's a good, longstanding, widely used diagram to use as a model.
—As a yank, I won't tackle New Zealand government structure myself, but in any event I think today's version of the chart is not ready for use in an encyclopedia. —RCraig09 (talk) 17:46, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Yes, you're right that the chart is oversimplified compared to the other political organizational charts you linked to. I admit that I wasn't familiar with those images. I tried to keep it simple in part because I don't know how to create a complex chart. It's asking a lot of you to create an entirely new chart. For that reason, I'll withdraw this request and try and find a more suitable image first. Thanks for the recommendations. --Hazhk (talk) 08:19, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

I've gone back to the drawing board and created this more detailed chart of the New Zealand political system. I have uploaded a new version of the file; you may need to purge the cache to see the changes. (It depicts the political system as set out in the Constitution Act 1986 as well as conventional practices.) Please would a graphic designer create a more polished version of this chart in .svg format. Thanks in advance! --Hazhk (talk) 20:18, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
a) It's a step in the right direction. However, it's standard for organizational charts to have the "highest" (supervisory, most powerful) entities at the top, with subordinate entities beneath. Examples: Are all three courts directly connected (allow direct appeals) to the Supreme Court? Is the Prime Minister really "within" the Executive Council? etc.
b) The ~13 different colors are confusing; if different colors are used, the entities should be color-coded to distinguish meaning and distinction or similarities of the various blocks. Don't just decorate.
c) I see the listing of "Government departments, Crown entities, statutory bodies" remains. This listing seems to be vague and overly broad and, to an outsider's view at least, apparently incorrect and not illuminating.
d) I again suggest you take a serious look at File:Political System of the United States.svg and refine your existing chart. —RCraig09 (talk) 20:43, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the recommendations. I did look at the U.S. chart and others and while they are helpful I think it would be inaccurate to model the New Zealand chart off an explanation of the U.S. presidential system. In parliamentary systems such as NZ there is no strict separation of powers; yes, the prime minister is an ordinary member of the Executive Council and Cabinet as well as Parliament.
The connections between the courts was a silly error on my part and one that I corrected. I revisit the colour coding. As is very evident, I have no experience in graphics design or creating charts and diagrams, and my request is that someone who does have expertise in designing charts will be able to create one. --Hazhk (talk) 22:00, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
1) I was definitely not attempting to liken the U.S. government structure to the N.Z. government structure. I was referring to the approach of the U.S. chart versus your chart.
2) Specifically, the U.S. diagram has legends explaining a small number of consistently applied color codes, legends explaining colored arrows, elements clearly contained in other elements versus separate from other elements, etc. In contrast, beyond the number of colors in your chart, the meaning of the Governor-General spanning the edge of your Parliament block is unclear, etc.
3) A graphics guy could simply convert your chart to an SVG format, but that would not serve readers well. The choke point here is clarifying what you want the graphics guy to actually create. Maybe you could find a suitable NZ government chart(s) and post link(s) here; you can't be the first one in history to have thought of the idea! —RCraig09 (talk) 06:33, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
I have made further changes to the chart and I believe it is now adequate. That is, the essential information is present. This is meant to be an illustration of the more-detailed explanatory text within the en:Politics of New Zealand article. I would appreciate it if a graphics editor could take the information from this file and apply it to an svg template; the new chart does not need to be perfectly replicate my attempt, it merely needs to convey the same diagram/layout. I hope that this is OK. --Hazhk (talk) 15:35, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
I think that this version is workable. I'll be busy on an unrelated project for at least a day or two, so another illustrator can take up the project if I don't get to it. I will post the {{I take ___ }} template if no one else accepts. —RCraig09 (talk) 16:11, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

I think it looks superb. The "support … opposition" text is not the usual terminology but that's not a problem. The only element that I feel could be confusing is the arrangement of ministers in the 'Executive' box. Ministers of the Crown and the Executive Council are one and the same; all ministers are members of the Executive Council but only the senior ministers are members of the Cabinet. In my crude mock-up I tried to show Cabinet as a subset of the Executive Council with a discrete group of ministers outside Cabinet. Do you think there is an easy way to convey this? At least removing 'Ministers of the Crown', leaving only "Prime minister, Cabinet ministers, ministers outside Cabinet" would be better. Apart from that, I am very grateful for your work. --Hazhk (talk) 09:44, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

SVG font rendering in New Zealand chart

@RCraig09:
This file has trivial shapes (rectangles and Manhattan arrows) and two dozen text strings, but the original upload was more than 400 kB. I want WMF to serve most SVG files directly rather than going through a (flawed) rasterization step, but that's not going to happen if the typical SVG is a large file.
This illustration should use straight text. It should not convert its text elements to curves. Making the text hidden does not help with translation but rather confounds it. https://tools.wmflabs.org/svgtranslate/File:20200508_New_Zealand_government_structure.svg is unusable — adding transparent translations to a file serves no purpose. The tool sees some text, offers to translate, but never changes the image because the translations are also transparent. Even if it did display the translations, the tool would not know how to remove the text converted to curves. By the way, the text is not "transparent"; the text has display="none"; such text cannot be selected and then pasted elsewhere.
The illustration has become very complicated to work around a problem that is simple to fix.
It is far less work to just make generic fonts work. Then translations to other languages are then easy. The text layer already uses text-anchor="middle", so minor font differences should have little impact. In ordinary circumstances, a generic CSS font would work fine.
The illustration does tickle a librsvg rendering bug because the fonts are 5.6, 7, 8.5, and 10 pixels high. That's because the image uses a small viewBox="0 0 317.5 238.125". If the image used a larger viewBox (say 900×700 pixels) and scaled the fonts to fit that box, then the fonts would look fine. (librsvg does a reasonable job painting 15, 21, 24, and 30px fonts)
If you upload the illustration without the text-to-curves but keeping its current viewBox, JoKalliauer can use one of his black magic scripts and scale the image.
In the future, if you make your illustrations on a larger canvas and use bigger fonts, then librsvg should look OK.
Glrx (talk) 22:48, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
— Wow. I had ongoing problems with text rendering (especially of thumbnails), even when using Liberation Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif as suggested on SVG help on en.wikipedia. In this particular text-intensive image I used 20-28pt fonts on a 1200x900px "page". This file is not "unusable"; it's just that Inkscape or equivalent would have to be used to translate.
— I am familiar with Inkscape, but (like probably most editors) not with XML intricacies. I have no clue what viewBox is, or involves. User:JoKalliauer has already made a newer, smaller version with an edit summary that's beyond my skill level.
— A few months ago, a more graphically experienced editor User_talk:Efbrazil also encountered text rendering issues, ending up submitting a formal request to fix this longstanding font rendering issue (sorry I don't remember where or how, exactly). He can explain better than I.
— If you know an easy way to "make generic fonts work" without having to become an XML coder, please explain. —RCraig09 (talk) 01:30, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
@RCraig09:
  • You are using the correct text anchors, so the actual choice of the font does not matter. You do not need to specify the four fonts, and it is probably best if you just specify sans-serif. The font substitution list is important when the artist has anchored the text in the wrong manner but uses the font length to make it appear correct. Imagine centering text by adjusting the starting point of the text. If somebody else uses a different font with different metrics, then the text may not look centered anymore. The four-font substitution list is trying to use fonts with similar metrics, so if the artist did rely on the font metrics for positioning, the result will still be close. The New Zealand image does not have that problem but rather the small font problem. The New Zealand image is not using 20px fonts but rather 5.6px fonts. Also "20pt" (20 points) is not "20px" (20 pixels).
  • The viewBox is the natural size of the image, which in this case is 317.5 wide × 238.125 pixels tall. That means the SVG coordinates in the file will use those values. A font that is 7px high would be about 7⁄238 or about 1⁄30 of the rendered height. You may think your diagram is 1200 × 900 pixels, but its not. The SVG file says
    <svg  width="1200" height="900"  viewBox="0 0 317.5 238.125" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" >
    
    The viewBox describes the rectangle of the SVG coordinate system to view. The width and height tell the browser to scale that viewing area into a 1200 × 900 area on the screen. It also turns out that MW will ignore width and height and use the width and height requested by the wiki page. The important point is the librsvg bug is based on the pixel size commanded in the SVG code, and in the New Zealand case, that size is 5.6px. I do not know Inkscape, but Inkscape may be reporting the apparent font size of (1200⁄317)×5.6 ≅ 21. The font sizes in the SVG file must be bigger to avoid the librsvg bug.
  • The bug is long standing, but it is not a MW bug. MW uses the free software librsvg, and that software has many outstanding issues that will probably not be fixed anytime soon. That's one of the reasons to have small SVG files: it may be that WMF will start to serve small SVG files before librsvg fixes this rendering bug.
  • You make the generic fonts work by starting with a larger native (not scaled) image size (1200 pixels wide rather than 317) and use font sizes appropriate to that larger native area. JoKalliauer would know the appropriate incantations to Inkscape. (Just taking a 317px wide image and scaling it by a factor of 4 does not avoid the bug.)
Glrx (talk) 03:44, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanations, Glrx. It's a mystery to me why the file recites viewBox="0 0 317.49999 238.125" in the first place. It seems like specifying a larger viewBox at the outset, might avoid problems. I'll await further word from JoKalliauer. —RCraig09 (talk) 04:37, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
@RCraig09: Afaik I wrote the suggestion of the fallback-fonts, knowingly it can be seen differently. (I care about the font-metrics so I don't care about sans-serif and would remove it, and Glrx cares about the generic font families (Serif or not) so he would remove all fallback-font except sans-serif, so the compromise was to add both. More infos see: Help:SVG#fallback)
Also I generally agree with User:Glrx, however I have a different flavour/liking: I not even changed the font in the file (only some differences of the renderer), and File:20200508_New_Zealand_government_structure.svg has (imho serious) alignment problems: "Elected MPs" and "judicial review" touch/cross paths (they imho should be changed to text-anchor="end"), those problems dissapear as soon as you open the svg in your favourite browser (assuming you have "Liberation Sans" or "Arial" or both installed). If you would allow different font-families with different metrics, the Problems can be much more serious.
@RCraig09: I optimized you file much more agressively, If you don't like it revert it or tell me what to change.
 — Johannes Kalliauer - Talk | Contributions 08:10, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
I appreciate the time you have spent, explaining things. Thank you & vielen Dank.
— To summarize: The details are complicated and technical, but the two choices are:
  1. Smaller file size, easier to translate "automatically" — good for tech-savvy XML editors
  2. Exact font-path rendering, consistent font-path rendering across platforms, reasonably easy to translate in user-friendly programs (Inkscape) — good for the viewer, good for most WP editors.
— Here, the thumbnails of this file new version do not render "Interpretation; judicial review" consistently across three articles Government of New Zealand, Politics of New Zealand, Constitution of New Zealand on my desktop, or iPhone Safari. I think that if you (Johannes) want to adjust this text object, and "Elected MPs", that would be good.
— Bottomline: the fact the we are having this long conversation, linking to help: pages etc., shows there is a huge problem, with no clean solution in sight. I'm impressed the file has gone from 421KB to 8KB; however I don't have the technical knowledge to understand or perform extreme optimization. —RCraig09 (talk) 16:38, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
As to your points
  1. The smaller file should work for everybody and everything. You should be able to pull the file into Inkscape or any other graphic editor and easily modify it. Smaller files have some other technical benefits.
  2. Exact font-path rendering (aka converting fonts to curves) is NOT "reasonably easy to translate in user-friendly programs". It requires somebody who has reasonable skills with a graphics editor. Files that have hidden text (display="hidden") are not expected by typical graphics editors. Marginal notes (text placed outside of the viewport) are also unexpected but sometimes used by other artists.
None of the fonts in the New Zealand illustration seem to be important artistic decisions; many fonts would be acceptable. That's the situation where I advocate a generic font (sans-serif). There are other situations where the font choice is important, and other fonts do not convey the same message. Coca-Cola is invested in Spencarian Script; a generic serif (Coca–Cola) or a generic script font (Coca–Cola, Coca–Cola) is not an acceptable substitute.
The reason the text "Interpretation; judicial review" is inconsistent across several articles / images sizes is the text has the wrong anchor. All of the text in the illustration is aligned by its center (text-anchor="middle"). That's correct for most of the text, but the "Interpretation..." text should have been right aligned (text-anchor="end") instead. If you look at the illustration, the text should be close to the vertical line to the right, but it should never cross that line. I missed that point earlier, but the ever-sharp Johannes did not.
One of the tests I sometimes do is increase a font size by a factor of 2. It quickly shows if the text is reasonably resistant to variations in font metrics.
I disagree with the long conversation implies no good solution. There are clean solutions for many illustrations, and the New Zealand illustration is in that category. The Inkscape advice I was looking for was how to set the view port to a large enough size to avoid the librsvg font size bug.
Glrx (talk) 21:03, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

— As a practical matter, if you don't use Inkscape, then how would one first create a text-intensive graphic like the New Zealand diagram? Even afterwards, it seems extraordinary to expect the average uploader to make changes directly to the XML.
— I was not trying to be argumentative. It just seems like a large burden on a few highly knowledgeable individuals, that ~thousands (?) of editors should have to rely on their expert knowledge (you mention "magic scripts"). There does not seem to be a location on Commons that contains a foolproof, understandable-to-all, step-by-step user procedure for achieving consistent font renderings in compact files; I had thought that en.WP's SVG help was the best destination, but apparently it's not. Commons' Help:SVG#Fonts, text provides explanations, but not a step-by-step user procedure. You and User:JoKalliauer might save some time by writing such "instructions" once, so you don't have to explain separately to multiple individuals. —RCraig09 (talk) 15:24, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

@RCraig09:
I'm not asking you or anyone else to edit XML. I do not expect users to understand viewBox or the arcane details of how WMF handles images. I'm not asking users to post process their SVG with some magic/arcane script. I am using the SVG/XML descriptions to be precise about what the problem is.
I also do not want to discourage users from contributing images. I understand that can be a frustrating experience. Somebody uses Adobe Illustrator to make a fabulous looking diagram and uploads it to Commons. It is very likely that the result on Commons does not look good. First, the font substitutions will be way off because Commons does not have Adobe's commercial fonts (or follow Adobe's use of the PostScript name of the font). The user may make a few attempts to fix the ugly font problem, get frustrated, and then convert the text to curves so the result looks right even if the file is now 30 times larger. Second, even if the user fixes the fonts without resorting to curves, the result may look horrible because the font sizes are too small — Commons SVG files are not truly scalable. That's a huge waste of time, and I blame WMF for that lossage. WMF says its a downstream bug of librsvg, and librsvg says it is downstream from it. The problem is the bug has a huge impact on contributors and the ultimate usability of Commons images.
I do expect the contributors at this workshop to be a little more sophisticated than most users. Having to convert text to curves should raise a RED FLAG that the illustrator is doing something wrong and needs a simple fix. The correction for that problem SHOULD NOT be converting text to curves and adding hidden layers; it should be fixing the underlying problem rather than kludging around it. I want the contributors here to recognize that some text labels should be middle or right aligned rather than always left aligned. Selecting the appropriate alignment should be easy to do in any graphics editor. It is not something that needs to be fixed by editing arcane XML with a lowly text editor.
The small font (< 12px) is a harder fix. An appropriate workaround is to start drawing on a bigger area. I do not use Inkscape, so I do not know how to set the drawing size. I was hoping that JoKalliauer would have a simple answer for how to do that, but he did not. Some research shows it is much more complicated than I expected. https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/84163/svg-and-viewbox-values gives an explanation of Inkscape's inner workings. A user sets the width and height to be 1200px × 900px. Inkscape converts those pixels to mm (its default internal unit) and comes up with 1200×0.2645 by 900×0.2645 = 317×238mm. That's why we get the funny numbers above. If Inkscape's default configuration is used, then to work around the librsvg small font problem, the smallest font needs to be greater than 12mm / 0.5in / 48px / 36pt. I'm not sure what the right advice would be here. Either make your illustrations about 1200mm wide and use 48mm fonts or change the default configuration to pixels.
In the long run, it is better for a user to upload an illustration with the small font problem rather than converting the font to curves. Later, somebody else can run a script fixes the small font issue.

with upright=1.70
with upright=1.75
— Thanks again for your explanations.
— In Version 6, I've right-aligned "Interpretation", but it still has a bit of a shifting problem (a survivable problem). Also, at bigger thumbnail sizes (above upright=1.7) the center-aligned "House of Representatives" object spills to the right (work around by changing down to 1.6).
— FYI: In Inkscape: File... Document Properties... allows specification of "Display units" in mm, px (also cm, in, pt, pc!). Separately, the Custom size of the 'page' can be specified in the same six units. Changing the 1200x900 Custom size from px to mm makes the 'page' almost 4x larger which enables/requires use of huge fonts.
— I'm concluding that the best approach is to start with a huge 'page' size (~3600x2700px?) and use correspondingly huge fonts. Unfortunately, when clicking on the main image in the WM file description page, the resulting image is much bigger than the screen: is there a hidden problem in that? I basically don't see that in any other SVGs. —RCraig09 (talk) 03:41, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
@RCraig09:
  1. The "Interpretation" label.
    The text specifies and end point of 2704.5256.
    The leader is at 2536.2+207.12 = 2743.32, so the text should be about 29px to the left of the line. The text is italic, so it will lean a little closer. The text touches the end marker arrow (url(#n), sw=5.29, 1.1×5.29×4.018 ≅ 24px). Moving the text down should avoid the arrow. Is there some other problem with the "Interpretation" label?
  2. The "House of Representatives" label.
    I cannot explain why it is so odd; the font size is 70.56px. librsvg has the text substantially left of center in both upright=1.6 and upright=1.7. There's a problem, but it sounds like you have some other complaint.
    The text is contained in rectangle defined by
    <path xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" d="m1367.4 998.9h855.4v352.7h-855.4z" fill="#faacae" stroke="#f00" stroke-width="4.99" id="path61"/>
    
    That puts the middle of rectangle at 1367.4 + 0.5 × 855.4 = 1795.1.
    The text elements rendered in that rectangle are
    <text x="1793.5" y="1082.8"
          id="text149">House of Representatives</text>
    <text x="1795.2" y="1201.1" id="text155">
        <tspan
           x="1795.2" y="1201.1"
           id="tspan151">~120 MPs</tspan>
        <tspan
            x="1795.2" y="1271.7"
            id="tspan153">(support . . . opposition)</tspan>
      </text>
    
    The "House of Representatives" should be painted almost dead center of the box by any SVG implementation (it's 2px left of center).
    The "~120 MP" is actually "~120 MP " (a space tacked onto the end), so any SVG implementation should have the visible text 1/2 space left of center.
    The "(support . . . opposition)" text should be dead center.
    All of the text in the box looks shifted substantially to the left of its proper position, and I do not have an explanation. Perhaps it is another, but slightly more subtle, manifestation of the small font bug. The more characters in the string, the more it is shifted to the left. That suggests a cumulative quantization error. Perhaps some other image sizes will have the errors shifted to the right. I do not know.
  3. Yes, one approach is to make the size of the illustration huge and use correspondingly huge fonts. That fixes the small font problem but introduces a side-effect. If the width and height are given large values (such as 2000), then SVG agents will try to display them at that size, so they will overflow the screen. Think of width and height as being commands to display the SVG image at a definite size: the SVG is saying alsways display this image at 2000px. In most situations, it is better if the SVG file does not specify the width or height or if the SVG specifies them as a relative dimension of 100% (meaning the dimensions of the HTML container). I do not know how to tell Inkscape how to do that.
Glrx (talk) 18:08, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
Going to upright=1.75 (above) from 1.70 introduces a qualitatively worse thumbnail rendering problem for my Chrome/iMac setup. I'm saddened that there are ongoing problems that even more experienced Graphic Dudes haven't resolved. User:Glrx, please don't feel obligated to investigate in detail, as this particular image is definitely usable. —RCraig09 (talk) 21:43, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
I changed the 1.6 example to 1.70.
Many editors are frustrated and lose a lot of time because of MW's SVG rendering problems and limitations.
The failure to center the strings is the fault of librsvg.
The text overflowing the boxes is due in part to the text tightly fitting the box.
First consider a font substitution. If the SVG agent substituted a font with slightly wider metrics, the strings would overflow the boxes even at large sizes. To make diagrams resistant to overflow, the text should have reasonable margins instead of being tight against the edge of the box. Leaving lots of room also makes subsequent translations easier because it is more likely that a translation will fit in the existing width.
Second consider font rendering. When I ask for a font at a certain size, the rendering engine will make a bitmap font that conforms to underlying canvas. That means it will adjust the font to fit the bitmap, and Adobe made its name making readable fonts at small pixel sizes in the 1980s. At an upright of 1.70, the font's x-height is 5 pixels. At an upright of 1.75, the font's x-height is 6 pixels. In other words, for a 2 percent increase in image size, the font dimensions increased by 20 %. Fonts may not scale linearly with image size; leaving more room for the text defends against surprises.
Glrx (talk) 17:04, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
RCraig09, Glrx I haven't read everything here and I don't have the extreme code knowledge of Inkscape and what librsvg has for problems. Yes, it does have problems which are very frustrating but I try to see it from a more practical point of view. Nothing, nothing is 100%, everything (most things in my life anyway) has it's issues and problems and we can put in a lot of time and energy to try to fix does issues. For me, I don't have that extra time and energy so I try to design my maps/illustrations so there is space enough for the text's to behave like it does, working with left. center, right alignment and so on. Even if they fixed those issues there would arose new ones when something else is updated in Inkscape or on the server, it's an all time ongoing thing. We will never (not in my life time) see that everything works to 100%. So I try to focus on where my time and energy is most useful. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:32, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Please help with Unsafe CSS removal

Hi , As EugeneZelenko was suggesting I created a logo on SVG but when I try to upload it on commons it says that there are unsafe CSS in the style element of uploaded SVG file. Is there anyone who can please help me to fix this issue ? Many thanks--Neverstopthat (talk) 15:38, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Neverstopthat I don't know which issues it complains about but at this link you can test a svg file before uploading. For your file it complains about "Font type Open Sans Condensed is not available in Wikimedia software.". Not all fonts work here and there is a link for you to check which fonts that work. At this place you can also check your file. Very often it's very good to save it as "optimized svg", then check it at those places and see what is wrong, if any. If it passes this last check place you can also put out "Valid W3C code" on the file, it's good to do so. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:42, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
@Neverstopthat: The current file has CSS with a @font-face rule that loads a font from a url(data:...). Such a URL is probably unsafe because fonts are programs. The URL could also be unsafe because an arbitrary font may not have a free license. The SVG file should not define a font; it should just use available/generic fonts.

Image corruption detected in File:... created by JPEGcrop application

Drawings of two coins

Article(s): [[]]

Request
To enable categorizing and using these two coin drawings independently, I wanted to split the original image and drop the embedded captions, but recalled I could not use Commons:CropTool as this would replace the original image by the (one and only one) cropped version.
Instead, as per Help:Removing_watermarks I used the lossless JPEGcrop application, twice. The resulting two JPG files looked OK in IrfanView, so I uploaded them to File:2-3_Thaler_1721_Georg_Ludwig.jpg and File:2-3_Thaler_1754_Georg_II.jpg, respectively.
However, both attempts were flagged with error messages e.g.: "‪Image corruption detected in File:2-3 Thaler 1721...‬ Hello HReuter, it appears that the version of File:2-3 Thaler 1721 Georg Ludwig.jpg which you uploaded 2020-04-10T12:25:38Z is broken... " and the uploads could not be viewed -- no idea why.
As a workaround, I did similar crops using an old version of Photoshop I had and could now upload the resulting single images without any problem, but lossy (at least in principle) and with larger filesizes.
While I could leave it this way, I am still interested to learn what went wrong, or how to do better, even more so since a similar situation may arise anytime.

@HReuter: You can upload to a new file using toolforge:croptool, it's an option that appears after previewing the crop. In many cases, it will in fact be the default option. I can confirm that firefox refuses to open the image, but ImageMagick (the software that Wikimedia uses to make thumbnails) and jpegtran (the software that CropTool and Jpegcrop use) are entirely fine with it. There are three typical types of corruption that I see: Missing end marker (some of the image data got left behind), two images in one file, and improper encoding. This file appears to have all the data, doesn't have anything tacked on to the end as far as I can see, and has the correct w:JFIF encoding. @TheSandDoctor: do you have any ideas? --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 17:33, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Text OK in original SVG, but not one rendered into PNG by Wikimedia Commons

Article(s): en:Golden Gate Cloning

Request
Hello,

I've been making several illustrations and uploading them to Wikimedia Commons, and to preserve resolution, I want to upload them as vector images. I had originally been using the PDF format, but I see that these images are downsampled for display on pages. I then tried using SVG, but when the images get rendered by Wikimedia Commons into PNGs for display, I've often found that text isn't rendered properly. I'm attaching one image as an example, but this has happened with many images. You'll see that the text is fine in the original SVG, but not in the rendered PNG. I intentionally switched to Wikipedia-compatible fonts (liberation, deja vu), but this did not solve the issue. Do you have any suggestions for how to fix this going forward?

The fonts in the image are too small. Although MediaWiki does have problems rendering small fonts, that does not seem to be the problem. When MW renders fonts below about 15px, the letter spacing becomes erratic. That's not the problem for the given file. The fonts are just too small for the height of the image.
The image is 3000px high, but the fonts are (on quick inspection) in the range of 28 to 56px; that is 0.9% to 1.9%. Although those fonts are readable when printed out on a letter-size page, the images on WP are usually displayed much smaller. If the displayed image height is a 2 inches (51 mm), then the 56px font will be 0.037333333333333 inches (0.95 mm) tall. One would not expect such a font to be easily readable.
Make the font sizes much larger.
Glrx (talk) 22:01, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for the suggestion. Interestingly, it's actually the larger fonts in the image that I'm having problems with--the smaller ones are fine. I converted the fonts to curves, which worked in this case. Rob Hurt (talk) 22:57, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt I just want to give you some reflections regarding size. I downloaded your file but when I opened it in Inkscape and looked at the page size the unit (px, mm, ...) is not set correctly. When I draw a box to check the size it's about 8000 px (pixels) high. That is not good (to my understanding) to draw something that big if it's intended to be used as an illustration within wikimedia. "Most" screen resolutions are about 1080 px high or slightly more. This is what I assume that the viewer of my graphic work probably will have. Then there is always frames and stuff both at top and bottom so the actually view area is even less. So in my graphic work I try to use that height and then I think about the size of text. I will never know at which size an illustration/map will be viewed at. So if I can't get a specific size from the requester I try to stick to max 1000 px in height and then I make it work in 100%. Then I can view in Inkscape or whatever program one uses that the illustration/map is legible at 100% regarding text, illustrations, lines etc. So for the illustration you link to it's very hard to know how it will be viewed when the page size is not set correctly. I write all of this just as my experience and I mean all well with it. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:06, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

GIF explanation to PRC vs ROC vs Taiwan

Article(s): Taiwan

Request
I am hoping to create simple maps with two-line captions and one simple GIF illustration to explain the problematic confusion between the ROC between 1912 and 1949 (aka China) and the ROC from 1949 to today (aka Taiwan), but I dont have SVG editing skills.
  1. 1st map (before 1895) would look like File:Ching Dynasty 1892.png. Coloured in yellow. Caption: before 1895 Qing dynasty
  2. 2nd map (1895) like File:Ching Dynasty 1896.png. China coloured in yellow. Taiwan coloured in white or ivory? Caption: 1895 Formosa (Taiwan) ceded to Japan
  3. 3rd map like File:China blank map (1936).svg. China coloured in blue. Taiwan coloured like 2nd map. Caption: 1912 Republic of China (ROC) established
  4. 4th map like File:People's Republic of China - Taiwan.svg (Mongolia became independent). China and Taiwan coloured in blue. Caption: 1945 Japan lost WWII Taiwan handed over to ROC
  5. 5th map like 4th map. China coloured in Red. Taiwan in blue. Caption: People's Republic of China (PRC), established in 1949, is commonly referred to as China. Republic of China (ROC), which retreated to Taiwan and other islands, is commonly referred to as Taiwan.
All other countries should be coloured in gray and no borders shown, because borders changed too often and they are not really what this series addresses.
Finally, combine them into one GIF.
So we have 6 files to easily explain this confusion.--RZuo (talk) 18:24, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
File:China in 1911.svg might be a good base map to work on. This can serve as the base for maps #1,2,3.
File:China in 1950.svg can serve for maps #4,5.
For maps #4,5 It's also easier to understand if you put in the flags of ROC and PRC File:Flag of the Republic of China.svg File:Flag of the People's Republic of China.svg. (Not for map #3!)--RZuo (talk) 20:10, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
I would like to check the five SVG first before making the GIF. Also please overwrite my sketch with the finished GIF and you can use whichever licence you prefer. It will of course be credited to you.--RZuo (talk) 20:13, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

@William Graham: I am unsure on my opinion, but I personally disagree about the making the star white. There might be a precedent internally, but as far as I can tell their external branding is all over the place regarding thier logo. Some versions have a white star, some have a white outline, and others have both. I think the logo without a white star or a white outline is the best version. While looking for their logo I found that ~95% of the time their logo was presented on white, so an assumption could be made that the white star is part of the background. Let me know what you think.

Image of superionic water

Article(s): en:Superionic water

Request
Superionic water has gotten a lot of press within the last year since it was reported here, and I think it might be nice to have an image of it.
It would look something like the images in Fig. 2a of this paper, where the red dots represent H+ and the white ones represent O2-. A key component of the diagram will be to show that the O2- ions are fixed in the lattice, but that the H+ ions are free to move through it. If there is no voltage applied across the system, then they will bounce around randomly, but if there is a voltage, then the system will conduct it and the H+ ions will all move in the same direction through the holes of the lattice, parallel to the electric field.
As far as the details of how the lattice should look, it should be body-centered, not face-centered, and probably space-filling. If you want to put units on it, the distance between planes of O2- in the crystal is about 1.8 Å.
Thanks, and let me know if there are any questions! --Rob Hurt (talk) 21:40, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Rob Hurt I might be able to help you, I have done some other things similar to this like File:NaCl polyhedra.svg but I'm a graphic worker and don't have any background knowledge for your request. This means that you have to explain in common language and explain more for me.
  • The image 2A are 2 dimensional but the images you have added here are a gitter in 3 dimensions. So which should the new image be in?
  • I actually don't fully understand what you mean is the difference between face- and body-centered, you will have to explain that more?
  • You also say you want it to be space-filling. Do you by this mean that you want H+ and O2- sizes be in relation to each other? If so then you have to state the relation.
  • You also write that H+ behave differently for voltage or no voltage and you want that to be shown. Does this mean you want two different images?
  • Once I understand the things above I will also need more info about the linked image 2a. I do hope you understand that it's hard for us graphic workers to understand this with out info. Please ping me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:52, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Goran tek-en, thanks very much for being willing to work on this. Here goes:
  • To start, I would make something very similar to File:NaCl polyhedra.svg, but with all the atoms being red and the same size, and the bonds between them being a bit thinner. The only major thing that will need to be changed about that figure is that it's face-centered, and would need to be body-centered. The way to think about the difference is that if you can draw a cube that touches all the atoms in a unit cell of the lattice, then it's face-centered. If it doesn't touch all of them, then it's body-centered. Does that help to understand the images shown above here? To get this from the image you have, I would just add an extra atom in the middle of each of the cubes (unit cells) in the lattice.
  • Then you can add the H+ ions. We'll need to think carefully about this part, because it's scientifically the most important part of the figure. This is what distinguishes superionic ice from regular ice: in regular ice, the two H+ ions stay pretty close to their O2- ion, but in ionic ice, they're free to move around through the holes of the lattice. That's what fig. 2 in that paper is trying to show. This is important because it means that ionic ice can conduct electricity, while regular ice can't. That's the exciting part about this discovery. To demonstrate this concept, I'm imagining something like this pair of images, showing that the electrons in a wire are free to move around, and it's not until you give them a positively-charged end to migrate to that they start to all move in the same direction (this unidirectional movement is what we know as an electric current). I actually really like this figure from a scientific standpoint, even if it's not the prettiest.
I hope that helps some, but please let me know if you have more questions. Rob Hurt (talk) 00:05, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

 Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 16:06, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt Thanks for the information and I found that we have a page that explains body- face- thing.

  • Then I suggest that we start with the base lattice and the red atoms, which are they: H+ or O2-?
  • Can you tell me how many atoms you want on the different axis, x y z?
  • What is the distance between the atoms in atoms diameter (2,5 times or something else) and if they differ in x y z?
  • Should the atoms be solid or have some transparency?

Please always ping me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:06, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: , this sounds great.
  • I think the number of atoms and the transparency is up to you--whatever makes the presentation of the scientific concepts the most clear. Could those be easily changed later?
  • The red atoms in the lattice would be O2-
  • In terms of the lattice spacing, I would make the distances match up to the fifth image above, with the ratio of r:a being about 1:4.
Hope that helps some, Rob Hurt (talk) 02:20, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt No, it's not easy to change later on, that's why I ask. So think about it and let me know, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 09:37, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: Then I'd make it 3x3x3 O2- ions. The most important part is to show the behavior of the H+ ions passing through the lattice, so let's not make the lattice include so many O2- ions that it's hard to see the behaviors of individual H+ ions. Rob Hurt (talk) 20:42, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt I want you to check this draft to see so the sizes, distances etc is what you want. I have only worked with the top left atom and its bindings so it doesn't looks correct for the rest. So give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:03, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Rob Hurt Sorry, fixed. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:17, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: I think this looks great, the only thing I might change is to make the lines slightly thicker so it’s a bit easier for the eye to perceive the depth. Rob Hurt (talk) 04:58, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt This is a draft with the lattice of the O2-. Check this and give me feedback on that part.
After that, to my understanding you want to show different states; 1-no voltage, 2- a voltage.
1. The H+ bounce around randomly.
2. The H+all move the same, parallel to the electric field.
@Goran tek-en: I think this looks great. Yes, let's do two images, similar to this. The H+ is usually shown as white, and would be about half the diameter of O2-. There should be two H+ for each O2-. Thanks again, and let me know if you have more questions. Rob Hurt (talk) 00:55, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt Does the H+ move in the same direction (no voltage) all the time once it has started to move, or do they change direction every now and then? --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:07, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: should be completely random Brownian_motion with no voltage, just bouncing off each other and the O2- in the lattice. Rob Hurt (talk) 03:50, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt Before I continue I want you to give me feedback. In this draft there is 27 H+ and 8 of them have the moving illustrations on them. All together there will be 54 H+. The yellow background is just so you can see what is transparent etc. Draft to give me feedback on, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:04, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: I think this is looking great. The one thing I might change is the curves coming out of the backs of the particles, because to me these look like the particles are emitting waves. Maybe the arrows could be set up similar to this, but with the particle being at the middle of the arrow and the arrow's head being solid and the tail being dashed. Rob Hurt (talk) 23:04, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Rob Hurt Draft with 18. The exact placing of them might change when the rest are added. The preview here is not as good as it will be at wikimedia. Feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:38, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: this looks great, I don’t think there are any problems with it scientifically. I might put a gray background for display purposes, but that’s up to you. Rob Hurt (talk) 19:40, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt We use a lot of grey in the illustration so here are four different options which each gives very different result.
Goran tek-en I really like the look of the last one, 72. A very minor thing I noticed is that if you compare the bonds at the front and back of the lattice (for example the bond in the front middle compared to the one in the bottom rear), they don't look parallel--is that just parallax from the view angle?
I think we can probably move on to the next part, which is to show the special electrochemical properties of superionic water by combining the ideas of an electric field created between two charged plates and the movement of charged particles in an electric field. Rob Hurt (talk) 00:26, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt Is this what you mean. The tool I used creates a 3 dimensional box where the lines straight up is parallel, the lines left-right has a meeting point which is red lines here and the lines back-front has a meeting point in the back which is yellow lines here. This is a normal way to show 3d in 2d. I will start to look at the next one. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:59, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt If I have + on the left side, - on the right side, how would the H move? --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:15, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Goran tek-en yes, I think that's it. No problem if that's the normal way to do it. H+ is positively charged, so it should be repelled by the + plate and attracted to the - plate. Rob Hurt (talk) 19:36, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt After your question about the perspective I checked my work and I found that I actually had made some manual adjustments which might have created what you fond, so thanks for that.
So I have made a new version and I want you to compare those two and tell me which you want. I think the new version.
Goran tek-en that’s great, I think the new version is excellent. Rob Hurt (talk) 18:10, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Rob Hurt Here is a first draft. Feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:26, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Goran tek-en this looks great, I think the only thing I’d change is that instead of having the H+ aligned in lines like many of them are, having them randomly distributed (though all still facing the direction you have them). Rob Hurt (talk) 19:45, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt Will do but the images you have linked me to have them lined up like that so I thought that was what you wanted, will be back. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:31, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
Goran tek-en yes, the way it would actually happen is that they would start out randomly ordered and randomly oriented, then when the electric field is applied they would all orient with this field as shown, then start moving from + to -. After moving for a while, they will ultimately line up in the space between planes of O2- so they can move through the lattice without hitting them, but this would only happen after several collisions with the lattice O2-, kind of like a Plinko board. I think the best way to illustrate this concept would be to make an "animation" with five frames, one showing each step of the process (all of which you'll have after making this last one), perhaps in a style like this (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/Turk-knights-tour_anim.svg) but with each of the five frames lasting for two seconds or so. Rob Hurt (talk) 18:59, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt Like this? --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:51, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
Goran tek-en yes, this looks excellent. Rob Hurt (talk) 02:03, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Christmas card

Article: en:Paul Martin (illustrator). The image is not in this WP article, but is reachable via Ref. #164.

Request
Hello. I uploaded this picture to Commons in July 2020. I first thought this was too minor of a fix request to mention, but OTOH, I don't think it's a real super hard fix to make either. I uploaded the picture off a CD. No other image of it exists. I did not touch it up. It wasn't necessary. There are a couple "snow" spots in the margins, but those are part of the image. The problem is the inter-alignment. It was taken with a camera in front of the greeting card instead of overhead. Hence, the alignment is off. The inner black border image should be a perfectly shaped rectangle. Notice how it curves inwardly near the top left and especially the top right. It needs to be stretched in-out so that the black border is completely rectangular in shape, like is (for the most part) the top and bottom.
This image is on the lower end of importance. However, it would have been lost to history if not uploaded to Commons. It basically just backs up some part of the text of the WP article: Paul Martin (illustrator). His studio was on the second floor of his home. "Northern light" came into his studio from the extra large window, on the left side. (That's indirect sunlight which artists prefer over direct sunlight. The lighting is constant and doesn't move.)  The artist Paul Martin drew this greeting card of his home, so it's somewhat of an artistic credit as well. Thanks.

perspective distortion of magazine cover

Article(s): en:Paul Martin (illustrator). The image is not in this WP article, but is reachable via its Ref. #64.

Request
Hello. I uploaded this cover image of a bearded man fixing a clock, to Commons in July 2018. I uploaded the picture off a CD. No other image if it exists (likely anywhere). The problem is the camera's original awkward position, which made the lettering (not image) come out curved. Hence, the perspective distortion. Notice how the wording along the top is curved. I don't know how to straighten that out some, because the curvy pattern touches the top of the man's head. (Maybe, a GIMP program or similar, has the ability to draw an outline around the upper head, before straightening that section out.) The bottom part wording (including the long black bar) also curves. It should be even. It would help having the top and bottom parts straighten out some.
This image is on the lower end of importance. However, it would have been lost to history if not uploaded to Commons. It basically just backs up some part of the text in the WP article: Paul Martin (illustrator). A section states he drew covers for four different trade magazines, including this one.

We do have a lot of different licenses here and it's only the creator who can decide that. In fact you have wrongly stated that this version is your own work which it is not.
I specifically wrote 'drafts' as that is what I show the requester, very often I have to work more on the file before I say it's ready to be uploaded.
My intention was to upload this as a png image and not as a jpg. Jpg is a destructive format (it deletes image information) and to use that on an image that already is blurry is really bad, png is a none destructive format and therefore better.
Also the work flow here at the graphic lab is as follows: The requester makes a request, a graphic worker takes on this request. When the graphic worker is happy with its work he puts the code {{done}} here and if the requester accepts this work he puts the code {{section resolved|1=~~~~}} here so it can be archived. ✓ Done --Goran tek-en (talk) 22:58, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

I just don't know anything about png. I wasn't familiar with it. I was thrown off since the lab experts in past, have always made the change right at the image's page on Commons. I guess in hindsight, I should have just stated my preference of the two options. Please convert to png or do whatever is proper or deemed necessary. Thanks. JimPercy (talk) 23:24, 1 November 2020 (UTC) PS. I put that tag in there, because of my reading of the last line in the one above with heading "Extract the mountain from the flag of Sabah." I just goofed, by not picking up on the exact order of how it's done.

JimPercy New image uploaded, GoodHardware straightened. If you upload a new version on the image page or you upload a totally new image depends on which work that has been done, how much it's changed, and who uploads it. This is not something exact, it depends on the uploader and if it is of interest to keep the original image. So it's always a balance, more info. Everything is always kept here at commons (in the back) so it can be traced. --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:48, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Could you convert this image to SVG for me? Sam at Megaputer (talk) 20:14, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)

Sam at Megaputer Checking the different links it feels a bit like promotion of that company. You are very open with your connection so that is no problem but it still feels a bit strange, but maybe I misunderstood it. Is there some kind of public free knowledge in this, as that is what commons (wikimedia) is all about for me. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:50, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

I asked some questions about image uploading at the help desk, and they said they would prefer if I converted it the SVG. I tried to do it myself, but the free converters I used didn't work properly. Sam at Megaputer (talk) 19:33, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
Sam at Megaputer That was not at all what I asked about. Is there a public interest in this more than for that company?
Please always ping me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:30, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: By "this", do you mean converting the image? I assume so, otherwise they wouldn't have asked me to do it at the help desk. They said it would "improve the quality of the upload". Sam at Megaputer (talk) 13:05, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
Sam at Megaputer I'm sorry to be unclear. What I ask is this;
  • @Goran tek-en: Honestly, the image will probably not be used outside of the article on PolyAnalyst. I don't know if the article will have a public interest outside of the company. It is my opinion that it is in the public interest to have good coverage of the maximum number of subjects, including companies, but I understand that there are some people here who disagree. Sam at Megaputer (talk) 15:58, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Sam at Megaputer I don't have any knowledge of this subject but it seems to be a kind of analytical method and if so that is something that can be used in many places and circumstances.
 Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 17:40, 1 November 2020 (UTC) But during the process I will need your feedback and knowledge as the illustration we have is not that great in detail.

@Goran tek-en: Thanks. I'll be glad to supply any information you need. I would like to converted image to be as close to the original as possible. Sam at Megaputer (talk) 20:05, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
Sam at Megaputer I would need some explanation on the symbols.
  • CSV is a database
  • Derive, is that some kind of pluming, to find what you want in a larger amount?
  • Partition, cutting up an excel (or similar) to the pieces you need?
  • 10 000 or 20 000 rows, a symbol for any amount of rows
  • Convolutional Neural Network, like this kind of machine learning?
  • Model testing, a magnifying glas, key and what? --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:24, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: Your assessments are pretty accurate. This software imports data (in this case with a CVS node), and stores it is a form that is pretty similar to a spreadsheet. Then nodes are linked into a flowchart (aka en:directed acyclic graph) to perform an analysis. The text below each node is the node's name, which has been given by the user.
  • CSV is a database.
  • The derive node takes two columns of data as input and creates a new column as output by applying a function specifies by the user.
  • The partition node prepared the dataset to be split into pieces.
  • The following nodes are "filter row" nodes. Basically, they are just applying the partition that has already been specified. Based on the nodes names, I can infer that the top node has 20,000 rows, and the bottom node has 10,000.
  • The Convolutional Neural Network is like this, as you suspected.
  • The icon for the model testing node is composed of a magnifying glass over a key and a pie chart. If you were to take away the magnifying glass, you would be left with PolyAnalyst's logo.
Is this what you needed? Sam at Megaputer (talk) 17:38, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
Sam at Megaputer That is great thanks, it's also interesting for me overall. The derive node illustration, is that like plumbing? That doesn't fit with what you explained for me. --Goran tek-en (talk) 12:17, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
Sam at Megaputer I do need answer to this question: The derive node illustration, is that like plumbing? --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:59, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: It looks that way to me. My guess it that it's a bit of a metaphor. The data goes in one side, travels through the "pipes", and comes out converted to a new form. "Plumbing" or "pipes" might be a good descriptors of the image. Sam at Megaputer (talk) 16:43, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Sam at Megaputer Draft to give me feedback on, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:58, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
I forgot the arrows, new draft will come. --Goran tek-en (talk) 12:38, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Sam at Megaputer New draft, feedback thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:31, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: Sorry for the late reply. I took the weekend off. Here is what I noticed.
  • 1) The contrast is a little low. Do you think you could increase it?
  • 2) The CVS node should be gray, not blue.
  • 3) Could you make the arrows arrows pointing away from the 10,000 rows/20,000 rows nodes strait?
  • 4) The picture seems like a bit of a close-up. I think that a tad more whitespace around the edges would fix this.
Looks like its coming along well. Thanks again for your help. Sam at Megaputer (talk) 15:19, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
Sam at Megaputer
  • 1) Of course I can do that but to me it's always also the perspective of creating something which is pleasant and nice to look at. So more contrast falls within that. Why do you want more contrast?
  • 2) I'm using colors here also for the flow through the process. Green/blue in CSV is floating in to Derive and changing to grey/brown etc. Why should the CSV be gray, is that a standard?
  • 3) Will do.
  • 4) I made the symbols bigger in relation to the whole image size so that they are easily to view, that's why. I will spread out/add space. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:04, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en:
  • 1) I'm comparing the new image to the original, and I think that if you made the blacks blacker it would sharpen up the borders.
  • 2) The CSV nodes appear gray in the software, so I think we should preserve the original colors as much as possible. But if you have another idea, you may know what you are talking about. This is my first time doing this :) Sam at Megaputer (talk) 16:29, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
Sam at Megaputer I'm always trying to think freely around an illustration, not comparing with the 'original'. To me an illustration like this should be easy to understand and to achieve this one work with both color and shape, not all who will view this will have knowledge about this subject but should as far as possible still be able to understand. It should also be pleasant to look at (very personal). It should be able to be reproduced in as many ways as possible. Once this illustration has been uploaded to commons it can be used in ways we didn't think about and by who ever wants, that is also something I consider. You say the color of the CSV should be gray because it looks like that in some software. You know that but does most people who will view this that, probably not. If you search for data base symbol you can see that they have all kind of colors. The Partition part is some kind of spread sheet so then maybe it should be white. As I said before the colors is used to visually show the flow. I will do a new draft for you. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:41, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
Sam at Megaputer New draft. How much white there is around the illustration is up to who will use it. It is transparent except for what is visible and there is no border around it. So that is what the user will add as is needed. To me, as described above, it's more important with larger symbols than longer arrows. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:55, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: Thanks for the info. The picture looks good to me, so if you think its done I'd go ahead an publish it. This process has been pretty cool to watch =) Sam at Megaputer (talk) 20:29, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
Sam at Megaputer It is not up to you to upload it. Will be back with more info later today. --Goran tek-en (talk) 09:31, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
Sam at Megaputer I have my way of working here as a graphic worker, it will of course differ depending on who is the graphic worker. I always wants to include the requester as much as possible because that person has knowledge and information about this subject, I have some graphic knowledge and added together we can create something. Even if it is me as the creator who uploads it and sets the license I always include and credit the requester for its knowledge and information. I have to be able to be proud and stand for what I create here, if that doesn't fit I will not do the work. Other graphic workers does it differently.
I don't know what you otherwise is active with here at wikimedia and I'm pretty sure Megaputer doesn't know what applies when using material from commons. Everything here at commons is 'free', but not 'free' as in 'do what ever you want'. Every media file here must have a license on it. Any user, within or outside of wikimedia, must apply to what that license demands. Within wikimedia it's easy as everythin is linked together. This page gives you information for reusing content_outside_Wikimedia. It is very important that you inform Megaputer about this and the license I will use on this illustration will be CC-BY-SA 4.0 and as you also will see on it's page this license is not compatible with the licensing terms of YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and many other social networks, so there fore it can't be uploaded to such places. Breaking the terms of this license is just as bad as breaking against any copyright or ownership otherwise.
So I will need the following;
  • Name of the file
  • Description (/language)
  • Captions/s (/language)
  • Category/ies at commons
to be able to upload it at commons. If you don'y know about Captions read here.--Goran tek-en (talk) 11:07, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: Thanks for explaining about the copyright. I have informed Megaputer, and we're ok with those terms. Here are my recommendations for the upload:
  • Name of file: Convolutional-neural-network-polyanalyst-flowchart-example.svg (same as the original, but with the svg extention)
  • Description: PolyAnalyst's GUI contains a number of linkable nodes, each of which performs a different function. An analyst must link these nodes into a flowchart to performs an analysis. This image demonstrates the use of a convolutional neural network node to execute a machine learning task with PolyAnalyst. (Same as in the original upload, but with the word "image" in place of "screenshot". Don't forget to attribute it you keep it.)
  • Caption: This image shows a PolyAnalyst flowchart that performs a machine learning task.
  • Categories: Software, Data science, Machine learning, Directed acyclic graphs.
I hope this helps. Sam at Megaputer (talk) 20:54, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Request

Goran tek-en, could we make a version of this that we can use to demonstrate the concept of the flow of electrons through a wire in electrical conduction? This would involve:

  1. Changing the colors so it's clear that the new image is different from the current one (I would make the lattice atoms shiny and copper-colored, the electrons blue, and the - plate black)
  2. Switching the + and - plates (or reversing the directions of all the arrows)
  3. Optionally, adding a "zoomed out" image of the wire the electrons are flowing through like this, to connect the microscopic and macroscopic

Goran tek-en, this looks great. As you said, this is a very difficult design, but I only have a few nits:
1) The "known" part of the horse's head is a little smaller. It should be brought in a tad, with the outlines shown as "reconstructed".
2) The triangular portion that is highlighted below the horse's head (i.e., in the space between its head/neck and the strap that the figure with the sword is grasping) is mostly empty space—its primary significance is that makes the outline of the horse's neck "known".
3) A few parts of the horse should be marked as "known":
a) The chest of the horse (the small portion right where the sword enters)
b) The shaded section a little to the right of this (next to the vertical "hair" which is next to the shield)
c) The shaded sections beneath the shield
d) The small shaded sections to the right of the back-strap (above the horse's hind legs)
e) The egg-shaved ovals in the strap (and to its right) --Usernameunique (talk) 03:36, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Usernameunique As all the lines between known and unknown doesn't follow the shaded parts it's hard to know exactly where. To me they have shown the unknown parts/things/objects with dashed lines and not the whole unknown area and it's not shaded. So I have guessed in some parts.
1) I don't understand the word "tad" and how do you mean by smaller? Is it possible for you draw lines on my draft and send me. 2) Yes, to me that is a part of the horses throat and it will be mainly shaded to show the shape. It will be more clear later on. 3)

a) Yes
b) Yes
c) Yes
d) Yes
e) Yes, thanks for this. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:16, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
Thanks, Goran tek-en. I just emailed you with an image of the horse's head; let me know if that is clear, or if you have any questions about it. By the way, "a tad" is just a colloquial term for "a little" or "slightly." --Usernameunique (talk) 15:33, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Usernameunique Just wanted to check if you have seen the info above. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:32, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay, Goran tek-en. Just one very minor comment: the vertical line that forms part of the rider's arm and that is directly next to where the reconstructed sword hilt is reconstructed, not known. I'll send you an email highlighting the area, to be clear. By the way, I see the drafts are pngs; will it be possible to render the final versions as svgs?
The thing that is sticking out down to the left is a scabbard. From a book on the subject: "The scabbard, though in a somewhat abnormal position in relation to the wearer's body, neatly fills the empty space that would otherwise exist under the fallen warrior's back in this corner of the panel. ... The position of the scabbard may have relevance to the method by which the sword was suspended. It is explicable if the sword was carried on a baldric or shoulder strap, but not if attached at or below the waist." --Usernameunique (talk) 17:53, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
Usernameunique Thanks for info. I forgot to tell you that of course I work in svg and the files to be uploaded will be svg. The server where I show my drafts doesn't render svg's the same way as wikimedia does, so that is why I show my drafts as png. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:28, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Usernameunique Now there is a draft for you to check.
Here you can see some red lines. It shows two areas at which you have to decide what to do.
  • To the left, to my understanding, it is like a harness that goes around the front of the horse. Do you think I should add that?
  • To the right I think the behind legs should be moved backwards to meet with the known line. DO you think I should adjust it? Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:17, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
Usernameunique Did you see my posting above. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:25, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
Goran tek-en, thanks again for your work on this, and my apologies for taking so long to respond. On #1, I don't think we should add the harness. There might have been one (there appears to be one on the Pliezhausen brooch, which has a similar design), but it's speculative on the Sutton One design. On #2, that's an interesting observation, but I think it makes sense to leave it as is. Zooming in on the design I emailed you, it looks like the end of the known line is the beginning of the horse's tail (there appears to be a small line separating the tail from the horse's rump) so it is probably okay to leave it as is. I've emailed you a close-up image showing this separation. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:33, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
Usernameunique So should I do the different versions as we did with the other one (I will look at the tail)? --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:25, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
Goran tek-en, yes please. As we did before, the versions are 1) full, 2) known, 3) reconstructed-known, and 4) reconstructed. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:45, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Goran tek-en, thanks for your fantastic work on this! Also, sorry I've been slow to respond during the process. If you get a chance, the reconstructed design should not have the outlines that are currently in white (i.e., the "known" portions of the design). And the full design should not differentiate between the known and reconstructed portions of the horse's tail. In any event, this makes a great addition to the Sutton Hoo helmet article; thanks again. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:41, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
Usernameunique Uploaded new version of reconstructed. The second thing I don't understand, can you explain in other words or show me on an image which best, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:49, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
Thanks, Goran tek-en. What I mean is that the "full" design shows which part of the horse's tail is known, and which part is reconstructed—it should not make this distinction. I just emailed you with an image highlighting the area in question. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:46, 19 November 2020 (UTC)


Tortoise speed

Checkmark This section is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, replace this template with your comment. Mrmw (talk) 13:54, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

en:Zeno's paradoxes#Achilles and the tortoise fr:Paradoxe d'Achille et de la tortue#Résolution du paradoxe

Request

The image supposes that a tortoise can run 5 m/s. No source supports this speed. The world record is 0.28 m/s. The French Wikipedia allows that 5 m/s is "unlikely" but says that the 5 m/s speed "makes the graph more readable". I submit that the graph would be quite readable if it reflected a plausible speed of 0.2 m/s for the tortoise, and I have modified the English text accordingly. Please bring the figure into the realm of possibility, perhaps redrafting it as an SVG. Thanks.

Graphist opinion(s)

@Peter M. Brown: hi, here you have the diagram as svg - in my opinion its not recommendable to use the real speed of the toiroise in the diagramm - it would mean a almost horizontal line
is there any discussion about this topic in english? --Mrmw (talk) 17:33, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

@Mrmw: No, there hasn't been and there should be. You're right, we can't use the real speed of the tortoise. The options seem to be:
  • No change.
  • Delete the graph from the articles, counting on the text to make the relevant points.
  • Modify the legend — it represents the course of the race if a tortoise could run at 5 m/s or if Achilles were racing a squirrel.
I will initiate a discussion of the matter and get back to you. I note that I have 60 days to do this.
If we keep using a graph, it would be nice to replace it with your SVG version. You would have to label the Achilles and tortoise (squirrel?) lines and label the axes "distance" and "time".

@Mrmw: I have deleted the figure from the English Wikipedia, a measure proposed in :en:Talk:Zeno's paradoxes § Remove the distance vs. time graph in § Achilles and the Tortoise?. I note that you have already installed an svg in the German version, with the lines for Achilles and the tortoise color-coded and identified in the legend. I do not understand the German legend text (what is the Strahlensatz?), but I recommend that this approach be applied to the French version which, as I have noted, does not share the difficulties of the English. Do you want to do this, or shall I?

Ich habe ein Wappen gescannt (Pixelgrafik) und mit Adobe Illustrator verktorisiert. Der Felsen, auf dem der Hirsch steht, ist im Original mit einem Punktraster gefüllt, für das ich in AI ein entsprechendes Musterfeld angelegt habe. Der mit diesem Muster gefüllten Pfad wird in der PNG-Vorschau nicht gerendert (geparced?), sichtbar ist die Ebene darunter (schwarz). Kann man da unkompliziert etwas im Text (SVG-Code) machen, ohne dass die Dateigröße unnötig aufgeblasen wird?
I scanned a coat of arms (pixel graphics) and vectorized it with Adobe Illustrator. The rock on which the deer is standing is originally filled with a point grid, for which I created a corresponding pattern field in AI. The path filled with this pattern is not rendered (parced?) in the PNG preview, the layer below is visible (black).

If there’s no use for the monochrome version, it’s simplest to overwrite it with the colour version. Anyway, it’s acceptable to take shortcuts while uploading, but only if the information is corrected immediately afterward. In future please be sure to fix the attribution & licence as soon as possible, and to qualify “own work” where the file is not entirely original to you.

@Snow Lion Fenian: - For what good reason or application do you need an SVG? The present PNG is of an excellent quality and high resolution. It should fulfil all imaginable reuse. As Ludger1961 has created the SVG of which he generated the PNG, you should ask him whether he is willing to release the original first. -- MaxxL - talk 10:39, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

@Snow Lion Fenian: - What I mean is that any imaginable encyclopedia usage or need can be satisfactory covered with the presently available PNG. The only party that needs a SVG are those that copy SVGs here and offer them disrespecting any license on their websites like shutterstock.com, alamy.com etc. Therefore artists decided to upload only PNG-images with medium resolution of their artwork to avoid exploitation. -- MaxxL - talk 12:47, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: Doable, but I don't know if it would be allowed. The original image is under copyright, and uplaoded downscaled following the 'fair use' approach. If we vectorialize it? who is the rights owner? I'm not expert of that so i would suggest you to check this before. Sette-quattro (talk) 14:41, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Thanks, Sette-quattro. Although the image linked to is from a 1972 article, the underlying design is from the sixth or seventh century, and thus well out of copyright. The 1972 image is extremely faithful to the original—including minor differences in the number of silver wires in the wings (43 vs. 46), and a right wing that is millimeters shorter than the left—so I don’t think it has much claim to copyright protection of its own.

Thanks, Sette-quattro. The left side should have 21 squares, however; only the right side should have 22. (For reasons not relevant here, the eyebrows on the Sutton Hoo helmet were slightly different. It's discussed in the last paragraph of Sutton Hoo helmet § Construction, and the second paragraph of Sutton Hoo helmet § Dragon motifs.) And if you have time and feel like it, there are two other very minor edits that could me made. First, there is a stray dot on the far left (in the lip of the left boar's head). Second, there could be slightly less white space separating each of the black squares; there is more space separating the boxes to the right of eyebrow than there is separating the boxes to the left of each eyebrow. The spacing on the left sides is perfect.

@Jordano53: Hello! Concerning the "key element eight five-pointed stars" they do not exist on Coat of arms of the United States or on the chief (upper band) of the national shield of the USA. The American Heraldry Society quotes the Department of State blazon as “The ARMS. Paleways of thirteen pieces argent and gules; a chief, azure.” No stars. Why do you want the stars? -- MaxxL - talk 13:23, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
@MaxxL: I wonder if that is a mess up on the part of the city. This image clearly shows stars and this engraved seal at the city hall also shows the stars. It's a great observation, and now I have to go down the rabbit hole again and see if I can find why these stars were added. Jordano53 (talk) 14:46, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
@Jordano53: Hello! In heraldry the only relevant, factual information is the blazon - the written description of the shield. All pictures you will find are just an artist interpretation of the blazon which may vary widely. Every flag manufacturer or communication agency has its own preferred artist and layout. The longer or intensively you search the more versions you will find. -- MaxxL - talk 14:55, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
@MaxxL: The 13 stars in this National Shield seem to originate from the 1912 flag decided by city council. The American Heraldry Society blazons the 13 stars within the CREST above the ARMS, not in the azure field of the SHIELD. Couldn't find dictation to explain when the changes were decided, but I'd reason it was a stylistic choice. 17 stars representing admission into the union, and 13 stars for the colonies becomes too cluttered when the usage is in a small format (think letterheads, print documents etc.) Looks great on that wood carving though! --Suzy K Wells (talk) 04:33, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Animation for proton conduction in superionic ice


Article(s): en:Superionic water, en:Ionic conductivity (solid state), en:Fast ion conductor

Request

Goran tek-en as we discussed, it could be helpful to take the images you already have for superionic ice and to make an animation that would show the process by which it becomes conductive in an electric field (which is the most remarkable feature of superionic ice). Here's a proposal for what the frames could be:

  1. H+ ions are randomly ordered and randomly oriented
  2. Charged plates appear, indicating that an electric field is applied
  3. H+ ions rotate in place to orient with this field
  4. H+ ions start moving from + to -
  5. More frames of them moving

I think this animation is great: in the beginning you can see them bouncing randomly around the lattice, and as soon as the switch is flipped, they all start moving in one direction, still bouncing off the lattice atoms as they encounter them.

Those are just a few thoughts to start off with, but let's brainstorm some more.

--Rob Hurt (talk) 01:49, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)

 Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 13:44, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Extended content

I don't know how much you know about different file formats and especially svg - gif. For svg and animation that includes coding at a level I don't have, and with so many objects we will have it would be complicated, compared to the one you linked to.
The more common way to do an animation is by working with a bitmap format, gif, like this. If you compare gif with svg there are big differences, a svg file can be enlarged and will always be sharp. A gif can't be enlarged without being unsharp, like any bitmap, photo taken by a camera. It can also only hold 255 different colors as a svg indefinitely numbers of colors more or less. So if you want me to help you I will have to work in gif.
To start with we have to decide how large the animation should be, the ones we finished are 1202 × 1074 px. The bigger a gif is in px the heavier it will be so we have to test that also. If there is a big difference between the original size (100%) and the thumbnail it can be hard to understand the thumbnail. I think we can make it a bit smaller maybe 800 in stead of 1074? If you think all of this is fine and you want me to continue I can make a test in that size and we can take it from there? --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:44, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Goran tek-en that all sounds good to me—yes let's make a test and see how it looks. --Rob Hurt (talk) 00:51, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt First draft to show size and principal, feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:02, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
Goran tek-en this looks great, and for the size, you're just talking about the number of pixels, but you're planning to use the full lattice, right? --Rob Hurt (talk) 00:34, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt Yes, full lattice. I have realized that I probably have to work from the last frames where H+ are structured and ordered and then backwards against randomly. So what I need to know if the last frames will be like file:Superionic ice conducting.svg but moving or should H+ be ordered in a even more structured way? --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:50, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
Goran tek-en that phenomenon is called en:ballistic conduction, and while it can happen in some special materials, I don’t think it would happen in this one (though maybe we could make an image or animation for that after this one). As a side note, I noticed that what we have now is actually a primitive cubic, not a face-centered cubic (en: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system#Bravais_lattices)—would it be easy to add atoms in the centers of each face, or would that be too much work? If it’s too much, that’s ok. --Rob Hurt (talk) 16:57, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt I don't understand at all. Please don't give me information I don't need right now, it is confusing for me as it is not my subject of knowledge. Stick to what we do right now, the rest we take later on.
Goran tek-en sure, hopefully this will clarify:
1. Regarding what the final slides will look like, I think this animation is quite accurate. You'll see that even though they're all moving in one direction, there's no point at which they're lined up like in file:Superionic ice conducting.svg because they're constantly colliding with the lattice atoms. It's a convenient simplification for the image to show that they're all lined up nicely, and while it gets across the main point that they travel with the field, that's not how it would actually happen.
2. Regarding the lattice geometry, yes, for it to be technically correct we would need to add those atoms (one in each face of each unit cell), and for each O2- we would need to add two H+. In real life it would be that crowded. This would apply to the images and the animation. However, in my opinion, if we have to choose between the image/animation being completely scientifically accurate but hard to understand or being easy to understand but having scientific flaws, I think the latter would be better. Of course, if it could be accurate and easy to understand, that would be ideal. This is a judgement call, and I wanted to bring it up to get your opinion too, because perhaps you have ideas about how to find a good compromise. What I think I would do would be to add the O2- atoms but not the H+, and to make the O2- and the bonds between them more transparent. But I also want to hear what you think would be best. —Rob Hurt (talk) 04:50, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt If we add all the stuff as it should be, then adding the H+ movement (takes several 'images' to achieve even a small move) it will be really complex. My computer and my software might not really like it, I think there are special software to achieve advanced animations like this and I don't have it. Also my brain has it's limitations as we are talking about (please check and correct if the numbers are wrong) 63 of O2- and 126 H+ and the H+ will exist in probably 10-14 different positions to achieve the animation. It's so easy to get lost there somewhere.
But now I am a person who likes to fulfill assignments/challenges and often not having the most advanced tools but still getting a god result.
So if you have the time (will take some time for me, have to redo stuff in another way, not so demanding for the computer) I would like to start with doing one part of the lattice as a test so we can get an idea of what it would look like. If the final result turns out well we can add this to the previous images, I'm using the same 'base image'. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:45, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
Goran tek-en That all sounds good. I think we should do the animation with 63 O2- and any number of H+ that you want—as long as we have the motion correct, that’s the most important point. —2600:1700:5D80:7F60:B851:FC14:72C8:10D3 04:29, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Rob Hurt As we don't show all sides around the O atoms (not outside the lattice) we should not have O*2 for the H. We have two 'corridors' left-right but have three 'walls' of O. We show all the H in the 'corridors' but we only show the H which are on the inside of the 'corridors'. This is the the same for front-back.
So although we have
63 O
we should only show
72 H
because there is 9 O which should show 2*H for. It took me a while to think about this, but I'm not 100% sure, you tell me.
For this test I only show 1/8 and the random part so imagen 8 times that, I think it will be enough and I don't think I can handle any more really, test image. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:33, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Goran tek-en Lattice and movement look good, and it’s up to you if you want to change the transparency of the lattice atoms or bonds to make the H+ easier to see. And yes, technically there would only be 64 H+ based on the number of atoms that are shown, meaning 8 per unit cell. It looks like you currently have 9 in the unit cell you animated, so it might actually be manageable. —2600:1700:5D80:7F60:7:8255:B14F:3580 03:26, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt I tried transparency but it got really hard to understand as you see all which is behind also. It might take some time now because I have other stuff also going on. --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:04, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt So I'm working on this again.
  • As I understand the bindings are not really any physical binding, it's more of attraction forces?
  • If above is correct then the H+ must be able to pass thru a binding with out any thing stopping it? --Goran tek-en (talk) 09:40, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt Now I have added all the O2- and I show you two different drafts with different transparecy for the bindings. Give answers per above and feedback on the bindings drafts, thanks.
Goran tek-en yes I think it's safe to assume that the scattering is mostly off the atoms, not the bonds. For the transparency, I think something in the middle would be good, maybe 30%. Did transparency for the atoms work too? Rob Hurt (talk) 00:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt Here are two drafts with and without transparency on the atoms. To me it gets really confusing when there is transparency on the atoms also.
  • no transparency
  • 50% transparency
  • Here is a draft with the random part as animation. I removed the looping for this so you have to reload it to view it again. I don't really know what I think of this. there is a lot going on but I don't understand what I see although I know what it is. Should the collisions be more visible, will it be better when the next two stages are added or what? I really need your thinking on this.--Goran tek-en (talk) 17:56, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
Goran tek-en I actually think the animation looks good. I agree that it's hard to track each H+ because there are so many, but the important part is that it shows random motion. The most important point is that when the plates appear the motion switches from random to directional, and I'm hoping that when you add in that part, it will be clear. Is it possible to add some more frames for the random motion before making the plates appear? It just goes pretty quickly when watching it. -Rob Hurt (talk) 21:07, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
Rob Hurt So good to hear because I'm so deep in to the motion of each H+ it's hard for me to see the bigger over all picture.
  • This has 10 frames and each is 250 ms. Shorter time on each gives a smoother appearance but of course shorter total length. Yeas I can add more frames, it's all a matter of how much work I put in to it and the final animation gets heavier. This draft is about 1.8 Mb and if we add more frames in the random part and then we have the other two stages so the total might be up to 7-8 Mb. It's not really a problem in it self but for some people on slow connections it might be, but that is always a judgement one has to make. I will add five more frames and we can look at that.
  • I'm thinking on making the collisions more visible by making the splash symbols I use bigger. They are almost not visible as they pass by so fast. --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:27, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Rob Hurt Draft random 2. 15 frames each 300 ms. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:01, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

Goran tek-en looks great, and regarding the size issue, perhaps we could upload a full resolution version and a compressed version? —Rob Hurt (talk) 18:58, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Rob Hurt So we are now at list number 2 and 3.

  • I understand charged plates appear.
  • What do you mean by H+ ions rotate in place to orient with this field. Rotate how?
  • List number 4. I must continue from where the H+ left of in its random face. So if a H+ was travelling from right to left and the electric field appears. Do this H+ make a soft turn slowly change its direction towards left to right (like a curved movement trowing a ball up)? Or is it a sudden break and then moving left to right? --Goran tek-en (talk) 21:36, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Goran tek-en I think we should model it after this, and you can pay particular attention to when the light get turned on, which is equivalent to when the plates appear. The rate at which they change direction will be proportional to the rate at which the plates appear. So if they appear gradually the H+ ions will change direction gradually, and if they appear suddenly, the H+ ions will change direction quickly. --Rob Hurt (talk) 01:32, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Rob Hurt I'm sorry for my absence, if you think I'm away to long just ping me.
Goran tek-en I think this looks good, considering how fast it will happen in the animation. Rob Hurt (talk) 23:36, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
Rob Hurt Full Draft 4, with 15 frames random and 15 frames with plates. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:20, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en this looks great. You could consider adding a couple more frames at the end because the whole thing goes pretty fast, but it's not essential. -Rob Hurt (talk) 19:48, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
Rob Hurt I did think of that also so I have added five frames. As this will probably be on continuous looping I have a first frame for 2 sec where you can put an short explaining text, if you don't want it just let me know.. This so people will know when the animation begins. There are two drafts now with 300ms respective 400ms per frame.
Draft 300ms.
Draft 400ms. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:19, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en I think I prefer the 400 ms version. For the titles, you could have one saying "Proton conduction in superionic water" then one saying "In the absence of an applied electric field, H+ ions diffuse in the O2- lattice", then the first part of the animation, then a title saying "When an electric field is applied, H+ ions migrate towards the anode" and then the rest of the animation where the plates appear. -Rob Hurt (talk) 22:48, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Rob Hurt Draft 400-2. --Goran tek-en (talk) 12:11, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Goran tek-en this looks great to me. Thanks for all of your hard work on this. Perhaps we should upload versions with and without the titles. Is there a way to also upload the original file so that other users could modify it if they want? -Rob Hurt (talk) 20:50, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
Rob Hurt I will need the following for each file (with and without titles);
  • Name of the file
  • Description (/language)
  • Captions/s (/language)
  • Category/ies at commons
to be able to upload it at commons. If you don'y know about Captions read here.
It is many many steps in seven different Inkscape files and then export from those, import to Gimp with some steps there and finally export from that. It would need an extensive instruction for someone else to be able to use them and probably they would create it in another way. So I can't really see that as doable. --Goran tek-en (talk) 10:58, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en here's the info:
With titles
  • Name of the file: proton_conduction_superionic_ice_titled
  • Description (/language): In superionic ice (ice XVIII), the O2- ions (red) form a lattice, and the H+ ions (white) diffuse through it. When an electric field is applied, superionic ice becomes a fast ion conductor, and the H+ ions migrate through the lattice towards the anode.
  • Captions/s (/language): animation showing proton conduction through superionic ice (ice XVIII) in a static electric field (with titles)
  • Category/ies at commons: Ice, Water molecule, Ions, Electric field, Crystal structures, Fast ion conductor
Without titles
  • Name of the file: proton_conduction_superionic_ice
  • Description (/language): In superionic ice (ice XVIII), the O2- ions (red) form a lattice, and the H+ ions (white) diffuse through it. When an electric field is applied, superionic ice becomes a fast ion conductor, and the H+ ions migrate through the lattice towards the anode.
  • Captions/s (/language): animation showing proton conduction through superionic ice (ice XVIII) in a static electric field
  • Category/ies at commons: Ice, Water molecule, Ions, Electric field, Crystal structures, Fast ion conductor
-Rob Hurt (talk) 00:08, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Rob Hurt Now you can find them here file:Proton conduction superionic ice titled.gif, file:Proton conduction superionic ice.gif. If you are happy with this please put the code {{section resolved|1=~~~~}} on this request so it can be archived, thanks. ✓ Done

Goran tek-en this looks great--I think it's done. I didn't archive it so you can see my response, but feel free to. Yes, let's change the lattice to be face-centered like in the animation. We can leave the H+ ions as they are, because they look good with the arrows. Technically, we should add two H+ ions for every O2- ion you add to the lattice, but we also don't want to make it too crowded. I'll defer to your opinion as to whether we should add more. -Rob Hurt (talk) 21:21, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Jpeg to svg project


Article(s): A field book of the stars and A Field Book of the Stars

Request
a whole book jpeg to svg
It is a book of star maps, simple. A lot of boring arcs, arrows, and names of mythical beings that get mis-spelled. --RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:01, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
Extended content

To even consider this request there has to be a requester, no one has signed this request. There will be questions, drafts to be checked, etc so someone has to be able to provide this. It's a major request so to have this backup is very important. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:31, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

RaboKarbakian Thanks for signing and contacting me. This is a major request that will be active for a longer time. I consider on taking it but first I want to make sure that you will be here and support me all the way.
  • You will have to make sure that the illustrations in the book (or the book) has a license that allows us to use it as a source and draw from it.
  • It is a 1907 publication. Q60813752 claims it to be in the public domain and it passed the permission hoops at en.wikisource. Each jpeg should also contain the appropriate permissions.
  • We would have to make a template of how they should look, be drawn and the infobox for each. So once we start you will have to find an illustration that has as many objects as possible in it, text, stars, lines etc. We will do that first and use it as a template. I will need your knowledge and information thru out this whole process. --Goran tek-en (talk) 10:40, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
  • With the best grasp I have of my future, my own personal computer is in need of some special hardware and will not be up until sometime in January. More than that, my experience with graphics is with pixels and not so much with the vectors. It is one of the reasons I came here as I have seen some beautiful work come from here throughout the years. Perhaps there is someone that would be better at creating this template than me. I would like to replace the jpegs being used in the book at wikisource with svg. I think the svg would be useful in more places also as they are simple maps of the night skies of the northern hemisphere....--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:05, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian Sorry for being unclear. I would do the graphic work, of course I will make the template also. I was just trying to explain how I see the process of this major request.
  • It seems as you put some of your answers into my previous comment, that is not a good idea as I can't see which is which easily.
  • Please always ping me as watch doesn't work all the time.
  • Regarding permission I don't understand your links. Also wikipedia and commons has not exactly the same rules regarding this. At each of the 53 files it is stated that they are in the public domain in the United States, but the rest of the world?
  • Is it the 53 files in this category you want to be made in svg? --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:41, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Goran tek-en Sorry for adding comments after the section, it is how things were done elsewhere on the commons 10+ years ago, and I am so glad not to be responsible for the template!! And it is all of the images found in the category, with the exception of the title pages and that original. So, 50 images total.
  • The author is from the United States and the book was published in the United States as well Q8019602. That link to wikidata is to the author. The time I had a problem with this, the author was from England and the book was published there also and the images were deleted and I assumed that the book would not be allowed and did not even try. That the images remain and the book is being hosted by wikisource, my experience is such that everything is okay with it.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:02, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian It is very different to use an image as a source and 'copy' it, make a derivative work from it. I will not risk doing a lot of work and then see it all deleted so in some way you will have to show me that we are allowed to do this.
  • Goran tek-en I don't really understand. This was an internet archive find, and while their rules are less than ours, they would not host them without extending the permission for them to be used. Indeed, they have several tomes which are available only for "check out", largely due to copyright issues. This is not one of them. Other scans of this book have been uploaded from libraries in Canada and California.
  • The commons has very rigorous licensing restrictions, as I said, another project was deleted due to the location of publication. Wikisource was/is full of old wikipedians, those who first researched and established the criterion and is in many ways, as rigorous with its restrictions as the commons. See the Berne Convention and the this for Sweden (which states that Sweden was a member of the Berne Convention since before this book was published) for your own personal protection. --RaboKarbakian (talk) 16:54, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian The book can be found here as well and I have tried to read about license and permission. As always it's a lot of bla bla bla, but it seems as it should be free.
Can you pick one illustration which has most in it so we can use that as a template. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:52, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Goran tek-en Thank you!!
  • I found four, perhaps you could choose the best from them? They are something like cardinal dates, with an sketch of the whole sky, I would pick spring because the lossiness of jpeg is not so much a problem and the thumbnail looks clearer here....

licensing: gutenberg vs commons (posted here at artists request) I mentioned a book whose images I uploaded here that were deleted. I was doing the images for a gutenberg project. As gutenberg is managed by people from the United States, all of the books there qualify under the US Public Domain rules. But this book was published in the United Kingdom and the illustrator was alive well into the 1900s and as such is not in the public domain in the United Kingdom. The book was published there, but the images were deleted here. Ye Sundial Book at gutenberg and here, you can see mention of the deletion log Category:Ye Sundial Booke and here, on my talk page where my work was deleted due to the United Kingdom public domain rules (which involve the death of the illustrator who died in 1985).

Commons is far more rigorous for licensing than any other site I know, uploads are 'trolled' by software and people, as they are managing a whole world of content. Also, if you learn what old stuff can be here and why, you will learn the most. At least, that has been my experience.

Further, I am responsible for the jpegs in that category because I was making them for the gutenberg post-processor, image size, and the limited ROM of my e-reader; while others are responsible for the png because they were making them for here, where the guidelines are to make diagrams as png due to file type clarity (or lack of lossiness). SVG will be the best, however!-- RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:03, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 17:52, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

RaboKarbakian As it is always a problem between the illustration in 100% and the thumbnail I will ask you if you know how big thumbnails you will use in the articles?
An illustration can work well in 100% (eg 800 px wide) and that is really the only thing I can control but then, very often, the requester use a thumbnail of eg 150 px wide and then 'complain' that the illustration is not visible. So that is what I'm trying to avoid by asking you this, always ping me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:57, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
Goran tek-en I used a simple formula for determining the size displayed at wikisource, making the image as close to the printed size as possible: width/300px * 72 (all based on ppi, pixels per inch, then perhaps, tweaked further for conditions at wikisource). The larger they are, the more uses they have, but if SVG is not so good at scaling down, then not so useful. Perhaps if you could make them fit more modern screens, using width/300px * 98? So, File:April 01-40N-2100-Fieldbook of Stars-025.jpg would be (2272px/300ppi) * 98ppi = 742px wide and 814px wide? Then the SVG would be scaled to 530px wide at wikisource. You know better than me if this is reasonable both in my expectations and the scalability of the file.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:15, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian Thanks for that. Svg files are different from bitmapp images as they are xml based and it's all about code. It is always sharp in any size but then of course if you show a svg file at 10%, of course it will be difficult to see. The thumbnails used in wikimedia is a png image created from the svg file in the size needed. So what I only need is the width in px of the thumbnail you think you will use. Or you can link me to a place where I can see one which you think is relevant, thanks.
The Inkscape I use works with screen resolution of 98 ppi and when you talk about bitmapps transferred (eg printed) to a physical material (eg paper, plastic...) you have to consider how many dpi (dots per inch) is needed to obtain a sharp image. --Goran tek-en (talk) 09:42, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
Goran tek-en Perhaps it is easier then for you to make the SVG the same size as the original jpeg or png? That would not involve math or 'good judgement' (making a thumbnail size for a request like this is probably not the best judgment). You know how to click on the thumbnail to get to the file page and then from there to find the original size? I apologize, as I am used to a certain eh, culture here (with the pixel and photograph people) where the best and the largest is always encouraged.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:04, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian Now I have done parst of the Spring image and you have to check and think after what will work for you.
  • Draft (not complete) and the colors are chosen so they work well for most people with color vision issues.
  • This is an image 250 px wide to try to show you what a thumbnail in that size will look like. You have to check your thumbnail size because I want to know that it will work for redoing later on is not something I will do. If it's hard for you to try we might be forced to upload an image so you can try a real file.
  • Many of the names are rotated which makes them hard to read but I understand they try to mimic the sky in some way. But I think it would be better to try to keep the names horizontally.
  • Check this and give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:22, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Goran tek-en "1.png" is simply beautiful, better than I imagined! The 250px thumbnail is, however, too small for me to read the details of. The "thumbnails" in use at wikisource are more like 450px. A sincere thank you for the preview of 1.png.... --RaboKarbakian (talk) 17:38, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

RaboKarbakian I'm sorry but I have forgotten about this but will be back on it now, sorry. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:42, 16 January 2021 (UTC) RaboKarbakian If I take to long to respond just ping me, thanks.

  • Draft 1-1 as png of svg file in 100%, check everything and give feedback.

In the above draft 1-1 I have some things I need your answers to.
- Names with all CAPITAL letters, is that of groups (shapes) of stars?
- Names beginning with one Capital letter, is that names of an individual star?
There are 5 pink areas with red numbers in them, I have questions there towards file file:April 01-40N-2100-Fieldbook of Stars-025.jpg.
1. It seems lines, stars etc is missing here?
2. There is an arrow here, for what, what is it showing, should I add it?
3. What is this, should I add the cross?
4. There is a line for what, should I add it?
5. There are two lines, for what, should I add them?

  • Goran tek-en The capital lettered names ARE groups of stars or constellations. Many of the capitalized words are individual stars but some are nebula or star clusters, like Bee Hive. "The Sickle", however, is none of those. I think it is more like a common name of a grouping of stars to help find Leo, which it is the head of. The book is about finding objects in the night sky, so it is often more like saying "turn left at the big tree" rather than a more formal "ESE on US-131". The arrow is, for centuries before and centuries to come, the way to locate the north star using the big dipper. See s:en:A Field Book of the Stars/Leo for example and s:en:A Field Book of the Stars/Ursa Major. The cross marks the zenith, or the the point right overhead. It should be on this and other maps.
  • Now the pink spots.
    1. The map does cut off there, awkwardly. That was how the book was published. The constellation being located and described in the section of the book this map represents are more in the center and physically more Overhead on that date so, it is accurate but not pretty or tidy.
    2. How to find the North star! Yes, leave it in. It is how Europe "civilized" the rest of the world. The first lesson in celestial navigation, etc.
    3. The cross is where directly overhead is. The zenith, a word that was borrowed from Arabic because Latin words did not exist for this or the opposite Nadir. It is a location even if nothing is visible there.
    4. s:en:A Field Book of the Stars/Monoceros I have no idea. The line does seem arbitrary. What I would like to do is open them together in a software that uses layers and can adjust transparency to see if the line is part of the constellation shape. I am unable to make a good call on this....
    5. s:en:A Field Book of the Stars/Triangula They are two of the three stars that gave that constellation its name. They should cross at a point, so it is more like a broken angle than two lines.
I have a question for you, about SVG. With photographs, if you want to get a good print you need 300 pixels for every printed inch. So for a good 5×7 inch photograph print you should have at least 1500×2100 pixels. How does SVG scaling work, in respect to this? I am not saying that it will be printed, but it would be a great thing that it could be printed. Especially those beautiful star maps of the visual and binocular skies! That map is very beautiful. The constellation maps -- they are useful-beautiful and will probably find life on their own as well as part of this group. I don't know what to expect from SVG scalability.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 17:06, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian Here is an article about SVG. A pure svg file (like the ones I create here) is a code format as photographs are pixel based. It's a "mathematics" description of the content. Like a line starts at point x,y it has a thickness of x, a color of y, and it pulls in direction x,y with a strength of x (not exactly like that but about). This means that a pure svg file can be enlarged without any quality lost. But if you enlarge something extremely there will happens things with the relationships between the objects so it can look less "good" in a graphic view point. So it's best to be close to the actual size a drawing will be used but here at commons it's difficult to know.
Quit often the requester knows how that person intend to use a file but this is an open place so the material created here can be used in any way possible which I don't know of. So that is why we talk about the thumbnail also. This drawing and the rest we will create will be around 742*786 px and in millimeters 196*208 mm depending on the resolution of creating program which at this point is 96 ppi (pixels per inch) to match the CSS standard. So yes it can be printed enlarged and you don't have to think about pixels as with photographs.
The resolution needed for a good print of a photograph is depending on the printing device and its technique, it's not always 300 ppi needed, also the content of a photograph it self have an impact on how high resolution you need so it varies.
RaboKarbakian Draft 1-2. Feedback as per above, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:18, 17 January 2021 (UTC)


Goran tek-en The thumbnail has North and South instead of N. and S. but just W. for West. The orig. doesn't have an E. but maybe yours could have an East? The right and left (E. and W.) seem to be reversed, but not if you consider that overhead mark. Everything else looks good especially when compared to the original.
That it looks so good is what started me to worry about how scalable SVG really is, truly. I have dabbled with Inkscape; it was my intention to keep a gtk+-2 version around and maybe a newer one also, but I have yet to do anything useful or publishable with it. I am an elder with pixels but an infant with vectors. Thank you for the reassurances....--RaboKarbakian (talk) 20:16, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian New draft 1-3.
Thanks for bringing up N S E W because I didn't understand the W before in the map, all the other letters were Greek but this was latin. I have added all four now and in a way so you see it's not something with the constellations.
I can assure you that ones we have a pure svg file we can create what ever files in what ever size you need. See it as a 'mother' from which you can create different versions and sizes from and all in the highest quality.
  1. In this draft I have added two red lines that shows the center lines from the two arcs showing the 'sky'. Should the Over head cross line up with them or should I leave at it is?
  2. If we after these last changes consider this as Done I want us to think a bit ahead. Maybe you already has thought about this (if so just tell what you want) as we will create many within the same context so they should not only be created in a similar way but the information on the files should also be similar. When I create several within a context I always try to put them out as 'Other versions' in the Information box. But as we will have so many it will be awkward to work in this way so I was thinking that we could create a new Category for them and just link to that, what do you think?
  3. To start with this file I will need the following;
  • Name of the file
  • Description (/language)
  • Captions/s (/language)
  • Category/ies at commons
If you don'y know about Captions read here.--Goran tek-en (talk) 11:14, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en I read the SVG thing. I think that pixels started life for printers and SVG for web pages -- combined with my lack of experience. Maybe I will get one printed and turn belief to experience. ;)
  1. The red lines will disappear? The over head point should stay. "Over head" and the time are real reference points for this map. The cardinal points (NSEW) are there to orient the observers body and a more real map would have degrees of "right ascension" and "declination" and the user of the field guide would be wanting a telescope. This I know. The map you are making is for where to point eyes and binoculars (opera glasses of old).
  2. Categories! I messed the existing cats up. Also, I was thinking about how this book is becoming a derivative of the original. You have followed recommendations for making such maps easy to read, I would like to s%/opera-glasses/binoculars/g. So, new cats for sure -- I will make sure the description for this one is good, can you upload it? so I can ask the sourcers about what to do? It will be helpful to have one here and renaming the one file is easy compared to 53. I will return with the rest! Good morning!--RaboKarbakian (talk) 14:51, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian Yes the read lines will go, was just for my asking.
  • You say time (I guess time of year) is important for this map so I added it here, if it needs to be changed/removed just tell me.
  • Now you can find it here file:40N 21 1-April.svg and let me know when you have created category (new for the svg files) and completed the inf so we can continue, thanks.
  • You say good morning so where are you in the world, west coast of USA or... I'm in Sweden? --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:16, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Goran tek-en USA. Midwest, but our "midwest" is a little towards the east, EST. I was about to ping you to where I was asking for guidance. Some of the questions there are about what SVG can do, as well as problems involving other wikis and ebooks in general. I am gratful that Europeans learned English.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 16:46, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

RaboKarbakian Not all Europeans, but many, yes it's very practical even if I have meet Americans who more or less expect every one to understand them. I have meet quit a few and I have traveled a cross USA so in general I like Americans as human beings but not the USA at all times. I can see this request will learn me a lot, I'm thankful.
Get back to me when you have the info and we can continue. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:07, 18 January 2021 (UTC)


Goran tek-en The other problems I am addresssing are those that happen when everyone is doing the right thing. Here is most of what you need to proceed:
Its going to be a beautiful book.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 16:29, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian
  • I will post a piece after this which is important for my understanding of this project and as I already have uploaded the file we will have to rename it.
  • I definitely want Captions on the svg files also, remember this is not just for your project it's for everyone even outside wikimedia. That is an important thing for me.
  • Considering what I will write below should we not have one category for the svg files 'A Fieldbook of the Stars (2021), svg', one for the bitmapp format we decide on ea 'A Fieldbook of the Stars (2021), gif' and finally for the night vision if you decide to go there ea 'A Fieldbook of the Stars (2021), night version, gif'. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:41, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en Jpg, not gif. While in use on ereaders, the images need to expand nicely. GIF makes great animated ebooks, however. The right format for the right use can be handled at the software level though, starting with the SVG. If wikimedia doesn't have someone to do this, exorting to this image format or that is simple enough that I would be willing to tackle it. We should be able to produce high-quality ebooks while still serving the original SVG and all.
I wasn't joking about the animated books! But this book doesn't need that, it needs to be "stretchy" for actual use. --RaboKarbakian (talk) 17:05, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian Now we are writing to each other before we have time to respond. Don't say no to gif, it's NOT JUST for animation. It's very well suited for illustrations like this, you can set how many colors it should include, it is small in file size and it's not a destroying format. It can enlarged as any bitmapp format, no difference to a jpg. I think you are to fixed on the device being an ereader, how do you know they will not use a smartphone, tablet, portable pc or what ever screen that we will have in coming years. Don't lock your thinking to one piece of hardware, it's limiting. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:23, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en I changed the file name again. fieldbook isn't a word. Its true, my first hacker friends had a problem with Unisys offending their definition of freedom. They are very lightweight, I will look into stretching one of the animated ones I have here to see if what you claim is true. I have much work to do and I haven't looked at the descriptions yet....--RaboKarbakian (talk) 17:42, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

RaboKarbakian, Inductiveload As we are writing in two places I ping both of you so you will see this.
We are talking about so different things now that I have to get a few things clear to me as a lot was not known to me when I took this request.
1. To my understanding this request was about converting the jpg images to svg so they would be better and easier to view online or printed on paper, that was my approach to this.

  • At that time I didn't understand that your project was to include them/create a book on wikisource. So if that is your main focus we have to decide on how to create the illustrations and for what purpose.

1-2. To my understanding the best approach would be to create svg files in the manner (good looking, color blind safe, any size printable) that we have done for file:40N_21_1-April.svg.
1-3. Meanwhile we (you maybe mostly) have to read and check exactly which file formats that are accepted at wikisource. When I read there they say images should be uploaded to commons and the formats they accept. As both commons and wikisource is a part of wikimedia and driven by the same engine all formats that work on commons should work on wikisource, that is my baseline approach to this.
At the upload page of wikisource, not commons, there is a list of accepted file formats: Permitted file types: tiff, tif, png, gif, jpg, jpeg, webp, xcf, pdf, mid, ogg, ogv, svg, djvu, oga, flac, opus, wav, webm, mp3, midi, mpg, mpeg.
At this page the first paragraph before '1 Linking' it talks a bit about image formats.
1-4. What I don't know is how you create a 'new' book from the scans and what file formats that works there, that's a difference from uploading as it seems. Please inform me!
1-5. From the svg files (mothers) any needed format can be created.
You have discussed a lot about jpg or png but there is another image format, gif which I think could be very useful if a bitmapp format is needed for those kind of illustrations.
2. Lately I have understood that you also intend to create another version of this book to be used directly when people are out looking at stars using binoculars or night vision devices which means completely different requirements on the files and the book.
2-1. You can never know what type of devices they will use to view the book so the book has to work on most tablets an e-books readers etc by itself not depending on different features and apps.
2-2. To my understanding this means that the illustrations has to be adapted to that environment and not rely to any functions a device might or might not have for not disturbing a persons night vision. We can use the mothers to create those night versions. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:34, 19 January 2021 (UTC)


Goran tek-en About 2, any completed text at source which has the table of contents in the right place can be exported into a format that is suitable for Kindle or ebook phone apps or ebook plugins on browsers and have the ability to bookmark and save notes and such. As well as being available online for straight up use in the browser.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:39, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian Have we now settled on everything around the creation of the rest of the illustrations as svg files.
  1. All files in this category A_field_book_of_the_stars_(1911,_Knickerboker_Press)?
  2. Size of svg file as Field Book of the Stars-025-Constellations of Spring?
  3. The looks of the svg files as Field Book of the Stars-025-Constellations of Spring?
  4. The naming of the svg files, you will have to provide me for each as there are different types.
  5. The information for svg files, you will have to provide me for each.
  6. For each I create I will need your approval and the information needed to be able to upload them and then I will post here
✓ Done Field Book of the Stars-025-Constellations of Spring
Please give me feedback on this, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 12:20, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en:
  1. yes
  2. yes
  3. yes
  4. On File:Gemini-Fieldbook of Stars-031.png I have placed a template with the suggested name. Will that work? Under different circumstances, I could (maybe) enlarge it to upload also....
  5. "Information" meaning description? I started on that via the description parameter in the Information template. I have questions. File:Gemini-Fieldbook of Stars-031.png has all the text from the book regarding the image. Is that too much? If it is okay, what about formatting that text? And will it be sufficient to put the description there on the information template?
  6. I think that the "need for my approval" is a kindness you are granting me, and I will accept it! This SVG conversion is much bigger workwise than the transcribing of the original book.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 16:18, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian
4. Template is fine. I don't understand what you mean by 'Under different circumstances, I could (maybe) enlarge it to upload also....'?
5. Yeas I mean Description. It's up to you and your knowledge what you want to put there. The more detailed it is the more information it can provide, but maybe you also could put a simplified short version there, with some formatting separation. This is the place to put information regarding the image, only there. The only reason for formatting the text if it will be more legible by it if you ask me.
6. No it's no kindness it's essential for me that you check my graphic work so the content is correct, I have zero knowledge in this topic. Without your approvals I will not do this.
  • Goran tek-en I will try to work backwards through the new concerns. I will make any template you want, the one you describe should have a graphic and a category also I think. Maybe we could move further discussion of this too my talk page?
3. Same width is good. Different heights is fine.
2. The numbers are the magnitude or brightness, 1 being the brightest. The Greek letters are part of the group. So, a number can be repeated in a constellation but a greek letter shouldn't be.
1. Different sizes of stars. Yes. Probably it is a magnituude thing, just not as finely tuned.
I am always stunned by your images. I really need to look at them a few times before I can even begin to see anything wrong. The reversed colors is such an image.
About the name template. I suspect it would be possible to have a link to upload the svg from the bitmap image, with a preloaded Information template. My current IDE (interface development environment, I think, as I am using the acro. with some snark) is a 7×4 Fire tablet combined with a half an hour a day at the library on a foreign to me OS. Getting my computer going -- it didn't boot but gave me a commandline. I have been patiently waiting for an explanation for about a year now. I cannot fathom an intrusion like this....--RaboKarbakian (talk) 20:50, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian For my sake we don't have to fix anything advanced regarding upload and Information template. I use mine own template that I have in a text editor, that works fine for me.
Of course I will wait with the color Template until this is done and then on your talk page.
I'm sorry but often information creates new questions, tell me if I'm asking to much, but I need to know to be able to create good illustrations.
  • In 1-April_01-40N-2100-Fieldbook_of_Stars-025 I can also see size differences but there are no numbers, some differences are hard to see. Shall I try to follow the different sizes?
  • In 1-April_01-40N-2100-Fieldbook_of_Stars-025 we have Stars and we have Stars of the first magnitude, would they then be 1?
But then in Andromeda-Fieldbook_of_Stars-095 we have Stars of the first magnitude in different sizes and with different numbers, not 1 at all. It really confuses me I don't understand there logic in this.
Would then the Stars in 1-April_01-40N-2100-Fieldbook_of_Stars-025 be 4?
If I'm going to deep in to this just tell me, but in some way I have to understand and now how to handle the differences. --Goran tek-en (talk) 22:49, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en First of all Alpheratz, Mirach, and Almach have a small green circle and they should have a large orange circle in the Andromeda graphic. The stars on the image but not a part of the constellation are open circles.
I am quite sure that the season maps have a lesser degree of detail than the individual constellation maps. 1s and 2s are large/orange, 3s and 4s are small/green?
On the seasons maps, 1st mag stars are large and the rest are small. The north star (which is small) has extra highlighting because it has some importance. The book suggested to look at the skies just after sundown so that only the bright ones could be seen.
If the amount of concern you have is not affecting your health or ability to sleep, it is fine then. Meticulous is the word, perhaps. Also, these books are not without fault. I found one book where they had grabbed images from perhaps another book and the one had a "Fig. N" or something upside down and unrelated, for example.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 23:30, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

RaboKarbakian Yeas I'm a detail person, always has and always will be.
Will do so on the season maps, sounds good.
For the constellation maps, as I understand you the stars out of constellation is not the same type as 'Stars of first magnitude' on the seasons maps. That is what I have added in the draft below.
Draft 095-2.png, what is the full name of the nebula? --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:34, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Goran tek-en "Great Nebula". (I had to look it up, it is new to me,) The different colors are nice. I started to work "catagorically" filling in the detail you requested for the images. I had been going "by the book"....--RaboKarbakian (talk) 17:51, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian So is this 095 done? --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:54, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en μ and ν maybe it is the font though. I'm gonna look at a different screen soon. But those two greek letters, especially μ don't look greek enough.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:04, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian I think it's the font, will give you a draft with other font. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:08, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian At wikimedia we are limited to some fonts that will work in a svg file svg fonts and then I run Ubuntu (Linux) and I try to stick with what is free, I'm not the biggest fan of proprietary stuff. So this limits it all. Draft of a few fonts. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:40, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en I think that the μ is a u on the graphic. The "present" font looks fine in the "Draft of new fonts". The ν is my problem, probably, there is not that much difference between ν and v. Figure out where the tail went on μ and after another check, I think and the graphic is done.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:50, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian Maybe the problem is where I got those Greek letters from. I used this table to pick them and for the μ I picked corresponding to m in the second column. For ν I picked corresponding to n. If this is not correct you have to tell me where to find the correct ones. --Goran tek-en (talk) 20:55, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en https://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/charref is what I used. That exact web page used to be at dev.mozilla.org. W3c documents might not be "free" by Ubuntu standards, but I don't think that is one of the "unfree" ones that can be installed, other than by saving, like I did. Gucharmap is great, really great even. Gnome had something like that too but, it was a pain to use. gnome characters or something like. I miss gucharmap when I look at that weblink....--RaboKarbakian (talk) 21:15, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian I'm not that familiar with the Greek characters so I can only go by what I see. On that html5 page there are so many characters I get really confused. I checked and the character map I have on my computer is Gucharmap but also there picking Greek there are so many characters.
I have made a Greek characters map for my own usage from Gucharmap.
  1. I need you to tell me if they are correct?
  2. Any more characters needed?
  3. The character at the bottom of left column and the eighth from top in right column are to me very similar. Which is which and which am I supposed to use? --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:59, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en υ is "upsilon" in the right column ν is "nu" in the left column. en:Greek alphabet. Mathematicians and and phycists (astronomers) use greek characters for the visual differences, hence any Romanization is a departure from purpose. The Greek alphabet is confusing! Foreign and they have variations of characters! The use in astronomy, at least in the scope of this book is probaby the simple lowercase set. In the graphic, that one character needs to be μ you can pick it from this page.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 14:39, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian In this draft you have to tell which character is wrong and which it should be. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:46, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en Just below "Gt. Nebula" is a ν below that should be μ.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 15:57, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en See File:Andromeda IAU.svg below M31 (what the great nebula is now known as). I checked myself and the book there.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 16:07, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian Draft 095-4, this Done now?
You don't have to provide me with your sources, it confuses me, I just need your knowledge as what to edit as specific as possible, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:21, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en No. There should not be an υ on the image. From "Gt. Nebula" in a not very straight line down is first ν and then μ. They are the two stars closest to the nebula.
In this draft you have replaced ν with μ and left the υ untouched.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 16:45, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian 095-5. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:35, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

RaboKarbakian ✓ Done file:Field Book of the Stars-103-Aquarius.svg You will have to check description, caption categories etc. --Goran tek-en (talk) 12:32, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en While I do this, I have a question. "The description" and the "caption" -- they are about the commons file page and not embedded in the image?--RaboKarbakian (talk) 14:40, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian To my understanding the "Description" is the description provided to explain that particular media and is always easy to access when a media is linked to within wikimedia, here the description part within the information template is described. There are so many different infobox templates it is hard to know exactly which to use. Captions is a part of the very big and coming structured data. Here are two different places first place and second place to read about that. For me an important part of caption is that the information there is search able from OUTSIDE of wikimedia, in any web browser searching internet. The description information is just available within wikimedia. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:07, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en I am perhaps more familiar with the limitations of the information template than anything. I made the descriptions and captions, worried/hopeful that they were to be embedded in the image. I added {{On Wikidata}} to file:Field Book of the Stars-103-Aquarius.svg. Maybe {{Authority control}} is going to behave more like I envisioned. Do these changes meet your approval?--RaboKarbakian (talk) 16:54, 25 January 2021 (UTC)Goran tek-en And the image looks as good as such a boring constellation can.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:34, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian I think and it seems as you have much more understanding and knowledge about this structured data than what I have but I don't really understand what you mean by I am perhaps more familiar with the limitations of the information template than anything, is it bad experience or what?
  • When I look at the link from {{On Wikidata}} I have some thoughts. The svg version is not the scanned bitmap "original version", it's a derivative work of that. So to me it is wrong to state on Q105071970 that is a "part of", "author", "publication date", "published in" etc. That is what the "original" scan is, not the derivative work. This is my understanding, I don't know if it's correct. So I'm not sure it should be there in exactly that way.
  • In Description you have put Image from the book A Field Book of the Stars:Aquarius but that is not thru either. The Source is that, but not the svg image, and that is already stated in the Source section.
  • I looked at the book on wikisource now and it seems as you are able to use the svg files there directly, great. But my thinking as per above, when using the new svg illustrations it is not really the original A Field Book of the Stars anymore is it? Is it not all a derivative work now, the whole book? To me it is, but I have no experience on books in this manner. --Goran tek-en (talk) 10:08, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en Every version is a derivative version of the "literary work" Q55346553. The first publication was in 1907, yet the scan we use is from 1911. The questions that I asked the sourcers about your version of the maps were essentially the same questions you asked here. Wikidata warns when a scan is used twice, but what happens when gutenberg documents the scan it uses and source/librivox/gutenberg all use the same scan? All of your concerns are answered by making two (it could have been 3 if gutenberg had used "id" for hrefs) records for each chapter. A chapter record and a version of the chapter record. 51 image records (planetary diagrams into 1) turn into 102 records. This is silly and useless for most books, as the chapters are not useful information without the whole. Parts like this book are, though.
Mostly, you are correct. The records for your images will change to versions of new chapter records which will show the (also versioned) scan. The images are just representative after all. I have worked on publications whose first was in a journal and whose subsequent versions were missing chapters. I think that the scan of a physical book (with a known location, etc.) is different from the book. It can be scanned again with a different scanner.
My question was about altering your "version" of the information template. Which I played with some, trying to get wikidata to work like the attribution example shown in the template documentation. {{Book}} can be almost completely managed from wikidata. See File:Field Book of Stars.djvu.
It is a challenge for me at wd not to put the best first. Putting the ws link with the scan that was used is the norm. With that norm and that you also used the scan puts everything into an existing murk. Self definition (red is red) is always where our (humans) logic breaks down. This is known.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 13:00, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian As I said, I don't know anything about books, I had never heard about the librivox/gutenberg projects until now, you learn every day.
My concerns was about the svg version you and I create together. They are stand alone illustrations, interpretations of the scans from the book but they don't belong to that original book. Therefore I think it's wrong to put out Image from the book A Field Book of the Stars:Aquarius and on any of them. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:55, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Goran tek-en you agreed that the images were in a proper copyright status only because they were on gutenberg. That a version of this book exists there is something you told me. I was speaking generically about the challenges of putting different versions of anything into wikidata, to answer your questions. Being associated with the ws project gets a wikidata qnumber. It should also assist with the attribution you require. I'm gonna tidy up wd and maybe you can figure out how to work it into the information template better.

When I ask questions of you, with the exception of this template talk, it is always about SVG. I want to do a trigonometry book!--RaboKarbakian (talk) 15:27, 26 January 2021 (UTC)


RaboKarbakian Now I have to step back because I'm not really sure what we are talking about any more. Here is my bottom line of this.
  • The copyright of those svg files are CC BY-SA 4.0 because that is the license I work with here on commons. I can only set a license to that file, I will never and can never know how they will be used. (SA means Share-alike, and to give you credit when appropriate. Meaning, I think, that the artists name is mentioned when using the image.)
  • They are derivative work of the scans that I use as source. (I am changing wd.)
  • I have zero knowledge of creating books on wikisource or any place outside or inside of wikimedia. The potential creating of books anywhere where those svg files are used/added has nothing to do with which copyright license they have here on commons. (Commons is an image and other media server to the wikipedias, and other wikimedia projects. It was an interesting w-source project that brought me here. The link to the book was provided at the initial request.)
  • The svg files here are stand alone media and in the Source part of Information I state which file that has been used as source added with knowledge and information from you.
  • The Description field is to describe this svg file nothing else. (On the Information template?)
  • At the bottom of a file's page here on commons you can see all the usage of that particular file, it doesn't have to be put out manually.
The above is my experience here at commons, forget everything else we have discussed as I probably have misunderstood some of your writing. I'm not a native English speaking so I might misunderstand some parts. Please check this and I hope you can oversea my shortcomings. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:47, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en I have responded after each point to those points. It is difficult here with the device I am using, please forgive this. You are a great svg artist. You don't need my forgiveness if I can just add things to your personalized information templates. I am competent at every aspect of this project except SVG making. We are trail-blazing at wikisource -- they have no reluctance in telling me right from not as right. More SVG please?!--RaboKarbakian (talk) 20:26, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian Draft061-1. --Goran tek-en (talk) 10:55, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian I did remove {{On wikidata|Q105076724|this image}} on File:Field_Book_of_the_Stars-025-Constellations_of_Spring.svg because at the bottom of the page under File usage on other wikis this is stated automatically. --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:02, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian At the top of File:Argo_Navis-Fieldbook_of_Stars-129.png there are three instances 46M, 93M, 388 of a symbol. Is this the same symbol as for Nebula's or is it something new/else? --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:35, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en The draft for Aquila looks good. It seems that the book was inconsistant with its star sizes and while you have been.
It is weird how that template centers itself rather than fitting in.
The Argo image is interesting. The "M" objects are from a catalog made by a French guy who was looking for comets. He kept finding nebula and star clusters thinking them to be comets. So the catalog was made of frustration, being a list of "been there, done that, not a comet" objects. The catalog turns out to be mostly a great thing, especially among amateaur/backyard astronomers; there is a night when all the whole catalog can be seen and they range from 'interesting' to 'extraordinarilly beautiful'. It also contains errors, that have been fixed. That is the background for the area you asked about which is one of Messiers problems. We are going to fix it. The 388 should be M47. You change it for the SVG and I will make the appropriate change in the text.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 13:27, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Feedback on those two drafts, thank you. --Goran tek-en (talk) 10:41, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Goran tek-en The Argo Navis SVG looks good. Musca was new to me also. I looked on Wikipedia to be sure before questioning the food choices or other deprivations of really old Greeks (Ptolemy), but it was of no use. Personally, I thought the word looked like some latin varient of Mus (for mouse) and was somewhat disappointed in either Fly or Bee (Apis, being another word for it). The graphic needs more work though....--RaboKarbakian (talk) 13:57, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

RaboKarbakian That was my intention with the question regarding Musca. Should I draw it as dashed lines like "out of constellations" or in a new specific way even though we don't know what it means? --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:51, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en The original has the stars in a different shape than the SVG. There are three more in a row with the left most being brighter (should be orange -- a 2). The SVG I am viewing also has a dark background, so it is difficult to distinguish words and lines and other marks. The lines should be as they are in the original, though it is weird, off to the side and such. I hope this is more helpful.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 15:10, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian Which SVG files with dark background are you referring to, I don't understand. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:46, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en The draft of Musca. Draft 107-1. Here the background is not completely black, but almost.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 15:53, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian Draft 107-2. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:58, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en I haven't been reviewing the lines before today. Sorry, I will re-look at all of them today. In the draft, the constellation in the center is Aries. All of those stars and lines should be out of constellation. Musca is to the left and the stars are not oriented correctly and one of those is a 2. That is the constellation for this image, even though it is not in the center.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 17:16, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian Before I make those changes, are you sure? This is the source and it's named Aries so should not Aries be the constellation of 107 draft. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:21, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en Wow! What a difference the machine I am viewing on makes! I was comparing it to: File:Musca-Fieldbook of Stars-111.png and on this real computer, it has a light background and I can see mistakes that I made "interpreting" the image on the tablet. Now that I see what you are talking about with the lines for Musca, and probably just the usual "not in the main constellation" lines should be good enough. I don't know the reason the background is so dark on the tablet--just the legend has a light background there. I thought that I was being patient, and really it was you being patient with me. So, just the usual lines?--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:45, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
RaboKarbakian That is why I put out the numbers when I write "Draft 107-2", if that doesn't make sense to you tell me what to write. If we should use special lines or not for Musca like in this latest draft is up to your and your knowledge. You tell me what you want. Also the rest of the draft,OK?
It would help me if you could be very direct regarding comments an when a draft is Ok or not. No extra information just what I need, change line...., draft is correct, star.. should be a 1 etc. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:58, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Goran tek-en Draft 081-1, your lines look good as does the whole graphic. Don't introduce a new line.
Draft 035-1 "Prasepe The Bee Hive" describes the same thing. I am sure that "Prasepe" is a mis-spelling, so spell it either "Praesepe" or "Præsepe" (the second is how the book spells it). The graphic also looks really good.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:39, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Hello, we meet again! I was waiting for someone do perform my request and saw you commented, and decided to lend a hand by telling what Greek letters I believe I recognised. Here it is. The Greek letters are "ε", "Ο", and "γ". @RaboKarbakian: could you confirm if I guessed right? Veverve (talk) 12:53, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en Draft 105-1 a1 and a2 should both be α (not a).
Draft 091-1 Alderamin should be α, Er Rai should be γ, Deneb in Cygnus should be α.
Draft 089-1 1572 is the year that a star appeared and disappeared in the area of that square. It is a new thing. The 4 mag star near to Schedar is η, the 3 mag star below that is γ, the 4 mag star below Ruchbah is ε. The 3 mag star at the top (out of cons.) is ε. I think that is all. I haven't the time to review the other reviewers suggestions.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 15:29, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Draft 045-2 (Corvus) looks good.
Draft 059-2 (Cygnus) the new star is interesting (I have been researching it) but the difference is that this star exists and can be seen. The other new star disappeared so the sky denoted by the special mark is empty. The scope of these images is viewing the sky. "New Star" is good to show that it is special. Green circle tells what to look for.

Draft 027-1 Xtha == Talitha. Xx == ω, the image has the symbol for Saturn (shrugs). At the right "Cor Caroli in Canes Venatici" is missing. Other than that it looks good.
Draft 029-1 has a dark background. I can't read it.

Image scaling request...

Please scale these more appropriately (can SVG do that internally?) with respect to other traffic signs images in the relevant Commons Category and those used in the linked article. Asking here as it's simple task that an experienced user can do rapidly...
--ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 18:53, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
@ShakespeareFan00, can you be more specific about what’s wrong with the size or proportions? Is it just the nominal pixel dimensions? Yes, with SVGs scaling is usually very easy—it says so right on the tin! But one needs to know what one’s trying to achieve.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 04:41, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
It is indeed the nominal pixel dimensions, I had drawn these at actual size, whereas the ones from the Traffic Signs Database are based on how they were sized for print reproduction, which are considerably smaller. I was wanting someone to scale these to be more suited to display on screen and print compared to the existing traffic sign images Commons holds.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:33, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
Was there any progress on this? Or can it be tagged as stale?ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:50, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

✓ Done @ShakespeareFan00: The files specified large, fixed, sizes in millimeters via the width and height attributes. I removed those attributes from all the files, so SVG defaults the size to 100% of the container. I do not think any other changes are needed. Glrx (talk) 21:38, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Extended content

Flaspec The source you have provided is not good enough, it's impossible to create anything with quality from that. Would also need someone who can read and write the language (some version of Arabic) written on it and generally you would have to help with feedback and check on drafts. Fix those things and then you can ping me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:37, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

@Flaspec: The pattern is complex as hell, and we need surely a picture with an higher definition to create a vector version of it. I think I found an high-quality picture of the cetral part ([27]) is it the same flag? Or, you could buy the picture ([28]) and send it to us to trace it. Sette-quattro (talk) 13:09, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
@Flaspec: @Sette-quattro: from what I get there is a reproduction (click on the "El Salón del Trono" tab), more info here. Here is a version shared by the Twitter account of the municipal museum of Burgos. Veverve (talk) 22:11, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
Flaspec The source from twitter that Veverve provided looks good and to me it seems as it is the right version. Several of the others are something else. However then we have the question about copyright. The twitter account comes from museum of Burgos what I can see. So before I would consider taking this huge task I would need you to get a written permission according to OTRS. Before you can provide that I will not put in the amount of work needed for this. There is an email adress to the right on that link. So ping me when you have the permission, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:22, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: @Flaspec: I will not be necessary. From what I got from here and here, and especially here, the image shared by the museum is a scan of a 19th-century engraving from the book series Historia general de España desde los tiempos primitivos hasta la muerte de Fernando VII by Modesto Lafuente. With a few hours of research and a bit of luck I found this engraving is in Part 2, Book 1, chapter 12 ("ALFONSO VIII Y ENRIQUE I EN CASTILLA - De 1212 á 1217"). The volume on which this part is will depend on the edition. You can find a good quality scanned version with the engraving here (from here) at PDF page 34. You can also find it here (worse quality). Veverve (talk) 20:17, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
Thank you @Veverve: for all your work and knowledge on this, and you saying it is from an engraving explains why it looks different in colors and lines. But I have two questions.
  1. Is this engraving the same as in all detail as you know?
  2. I don't speak Spanish but when I translate that page it says everything is under copyright. So then we are back to the same situation or what do you say?
@Goran tek-en: Thanks
  1. I have seen many versions of this flag online, I guess there is numerous reproductions since it is a famous flag. Looking at google image with "Banner of Las Navas" in Spanish gives numerous similar yet very different flag. I do not know if the engraving is the same as .
  2. It is a 19th-century engraving, so there is no way it is still under copyright. todocoleccion.net is like Invaluable.com or eBay, it will states "Copyright ©", but there is no way you can copyright something which has fell out of copyright, it is at best a en:Copyfraud. Scans or pictures of 2D objects which fell out of copyright cannot renew the copyright and fall under Template:PD-art and Template:PD-scan. Veverve (talk) 23:10, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
Thanks again Veverve, it is so difficult with copyright on stuff like this, I don't have deep enough knowledge but when I check your sources I agree with you, so thanks. Will now try to get in contact Flaspec to be able to work on this. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:06, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
@Veverve: @Goran tek-en: Thank you for your response. After searching the website provided by the uploader, I found a direct link with the description here [29]. --Flaspec (talk) 20:42, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

@Flaspec: I don't understand, that link doesn't provide any image I can work from. This source [30] page 34 is provided by Veverve, is that correct and can I work from that? --Goran tek-en (talk) 20:59, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
@Flaspec: What you proposed is the same low resolution image as in the beginning. Veverve (talk) 21:18, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: Yes the image provided by Veverve is correct and has higher resolution indeed. I am ready to assist you if you need any help with the text (old Arabic script). --Flaspec (talk) 21:30, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

 Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 15:55, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Flaspec Great.  QuestionThe emblem you first showed is some kind of textil I guess, so it's not 90° in the corners, no straight lines etc. What I will create is an illustration of this emblem so I will work with 90° corners, straight lines etc. Is this fine with you? --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:55, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: Thank you for taking this request. Indeed, I think 90° corners is the correct choise. --Flaspec (talk) 18:03, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
Flaspec Now I need your feedback before I continue. The drafts are as png but the original I work on is svg.
This is the upper left piece just outside the "circle". Is this look and detail level what you want?
@Goran tek-en: Honestly it looks far better than I expected. --Flaspec (talk) 17:48, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: I like how you fixed the corners (at 90°) without altering the original design. Kudos to you! --Flaspec (talk) 17:57, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
Flaspec Thanks for feedback. It might be a while before I'm back because there is a lot work to be done.
For the text there are two options but I think a mix will be the best.
  1. I can draw them but some texts are very small so it's hard.
  2. If you can write them here it would be great, mark which is which, if you know a font that works well at wikimedia for svg files and arabic, please tell me. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:39, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: This is medieval script of Arabic (equivalent to Blackletter in Latin, for instance) so the first option is the best in order to preserve authenticity of the emblem (modern font wouldn't do). I noticed that existing flags/emblems belonging to the same era (like the emblem of the Emirate of Granada) also opt for the first option you mentioned. --Flaspec (talk) 19:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Just so you know, according to here, the engraving was made by Magín Pujadas, who has a WCommons category. Veverve (talk) 13:00, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Flaspec I just wanted you to know I am working on it. It takes time so don't give up on me. If you think it takes too long, just ping me, thansk. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:33, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Flaspec Now I have drafts that should contain everything but the text parts. Please help me to check I havent missed something so far, thanks.
Goran tek-en I believe the three animals are Barbary Lions as per bodyshape and tail, not horses. Everything else seems perfect to me! --Flaspec (talk) 19:07, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
Flaspec Whitin the different text areas there is some light stuff on the background like this which is in the top left corner. Do you know if it's supposed to be there? --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:54, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en These white spots are originally black spots that were removed due to erosion (check out before (text inside blue rectangular) vs after erosion. So i suggest you print it in black in accordance with the rest of the text. --Flaspec (talk) 15:01, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Goran tek-en There is a flag that appeared in the old literature, and I think it's related to that flag. Flaspec I don't know if this flag is well historical research. Could you please review it?--고려 (talk) 14:14, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Goran tek-en Sites that show how to hang flags.--고려 (talk) 14:46, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
 Info The source provided by 고려 calls this a «Pendón» which translates to Banner in English (not emblem). So I changed the title of this section to reflect the correct naming (Convert Almohad emblem to SVGConvert Almohad banner to SVG). --Flaspec (talk) 15:21, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
Flaspec The picture of the flag I found in 1921 seems more accurate, what do you think?--고려 (talk) 15:27, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en I don't know English very well, so I'm expressing it with a translator. I'm sorry. This is a flag that was taken in 1921. (detail) --고려 (talk) 14:55, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
고려 This banner was made by Magín Pujadas who has a WCommons category, and I believe that he must have Facsimiled it from somewhere. This is by far the best depiction that we have (in terms of quality), so I suggest we use it. --Flaspec (talk) 15:52, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
Flaspec It's hard to say that the 1921 photo shoot also has poor image quality. I think it is possible to refer to the pattern. also As you can see by pressing the details, isn't the central description more accurate?--고려 (talk) 16:20, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
Flaspec Those drafts are PNG versions of the original SVG file I'm working in and will upload to commons.
I had to guess to some degree so really check everything, especially the texts. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:28, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
Your work is perfect, Goran tek-en! If I may suggest uploading it under the filename Banner of the Moors (1212).svg that would be great. Many thanks! --Flaspec (talk) 21:59, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
Goran tek-en Is there any problem with the data I found? There are more accurate pictures of the time than the picture, and I put in some materials that help with the exact design. (Unfortunately, the current data is outdated, but you can check the past pictures.) And wouldn't it be okay to erase the shadow?--고려 (talk) 01:11, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

고려 I thank you for your knowledge and interest here but this is an request by Flaspec so I have to follow his thoughts about this as I have no knowledge by my self, I do graphic work. If you think some other sources has "better" information you have to discuss that with Flaspec. To me the source we used has enough quality for me to work from. If it is correct or not is not for me to say and I have to look at something. If you don't agree on this you can always ask for another version here at graphic lab based on your sources. I do hope you understand my position here.

  • Name of the file
  • Description (/language)
