Animated images

Hola, gracias por tus buenos gráficos. When you create a new animation of a Chinese letter of the AnimationRequest, please overload the request image with your new version and correct the category (user Unogeo did it the wrong way with ⺝--order.gif, causing a deletion procedure). Thank you -- sarang♥사랑 06:51, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Updating stroke animations for 𰻞 (Biáng)

Hi, I've made some small improves for File:Biáng (regular script).svg, so can you please update File:Biáng-order complete.gif and File:Biáng-order.gif? Thanks. --Great Brightstar (talk) 04:49, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I will add them to my priority list. But because this is the most complex character ever made, it will take me many weeks months. FanNihongo (talk) 06:07, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

I think such rare(low Return On Investment) and complex character is better to left untreated. The task is too costly. Yug (talk) 10:24, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

 Done The new version of the biáng was uploaded. FanNihongo (talk) 05:37, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Question about the Toki Pona Sitelen Sitelen

@LiliCharlie: Before asking you a question, let me explain you something: I once wanted to upload the Sitelen Sitelen characters(in my own art style), but I never do it, because the are copyrighted by Jonathan Gabel(I think), here is his page.
So if the Sitelen Sitelen characters are copyrighted by Jonathan Gabel. How come you can upload its characters? FanNihongo (talk) 06:44, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Appealing decision for the file File:⺦-order.gif

@Ellywa: I write this to you because I disagree with you decision of keeping the File:⺦-order.gif(DR)
You gave this reason: "I see no valid reason for deletion of this file on the policy page, Commons:Deletion policy.".
There do is a reason to delete this file on the Deletion policy, on this link (Redundant/bad quality).
Quote: "Redundant or low-quality files only get deleted on a case-by-case basis... "
Quote from wiktionary: Redundant = "Superfluous; exceeding what is necessary, no longer needed."

I hope I made myself clear: the File:⺦-order.gif was created only as an animation request(which is on this category), to be replaced for an animated version, but because an animated version was already created, which is this , then the File:⺦-order.gif is redundant(no longer needed).
Those were my arguments, that file should be deleted. FanNihongo (talk) 03:56, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

I have to go with all arguments on the DR. As User:Sarang wrote, the files have a different style. I am not a specialist on Chinese calligraphy of course, but I agree the images are different. And therefore File:⺦-order.gif is not redundant (because different) and should not be deleted. Perhaps there is another version showing the same style? I did not look for that, but if it is not present, I am still of the opinion the file is not redundant. If you still disagree on this, you can nominate the image again for deletion. Another admin might decide differently. For reference the three images again:

• 
  Regular Style CJKV SVG (<1K)
  (Radical 090 (2).svg)
• 
  animated GIF (8K)
  (丬-order.gif)
• 
  GIF (2K)
  (⺦-order.gif, now just ⺦.gif)
  file discussed on the DR

Regards, Ellywa (talk) 10:38, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

I thank you for your explanation, now I see that my arguments need more context.

Which is this: The images on this category are only requests to be animated for the Stroke Order Project, on that project we create animations like these, and we also have guidelines to create them(The recommended guidelines are these). As you can see those animations must be done in the kaishu calligraphic style.
In conclusion that file is still redundant and should be deleted. In this case, the fact that that file was uploaded with a Ming typeface only makes it difficult to do these kind of maintenance tasks(delete unused files). FanNihongo (talk) 02:48, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

File:Biang-order.gif, Someone uploaded an old version, of the Biáng character, that I animated. FanNihongo (talk) 01:21, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

What about the new Sans-Serif format?

I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but I just get to know about this Tamil alphabet page...
The point is that in my personal opinion: with the actual calligraphic style of the -order.gif images, the project cannot be finished.
Currently I the only active contributor working on the -order.gif images. I once felt passion and love for this project, but now I only see laborious and long term work.
In addition to that, I published new guidelines in January of 2020, but since then there weren't any new known contributor, at least by me, that is discouraging, and the list of discouraging things continues.
As I told before I don't know if this is a good idea or not but I just started to work on a new format for the -order.gif images. With the following advantages:

• This will allow to finish the -order.gif image series once and for all, or at least most of them. (Although it is easier, it is still painstaking and tedious).
• The project is about showing the Stroke Order, right?, well then technically I am not doing anything wrong if they still show the stroke order.
• There will finally be consistency regarding to the font. I mean at the current point there are letter made in a Mainland China font, made in a Taiwanese Font, etc.
  

These are the reasons why I think there are no new contributors.

• They get scary about the guidelines, the first guidelines are a mess and are outdated, and my new guidelines, I thing it is because it is a lot of text, and I also expect some notions about stroke order and graphic skills.
  

It is my wish to finish this project, because I am learning Chinese. The more it is finished, the more I can learn Chinese. FanNihongo (talk) 04:35, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
