Presidential Standard of the Republic of Korea.svg
Hi Fry1989,
I left a message about the happening around this file here. I am looking forward to your input. Natuur12 (talk) 15:52, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
- I wonder if any other users have asked you to stop being their shadow. Fry1989 eh? 19:58, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
EPS versions of UK traffic signs
The images I uploaded came directly from the original UK Traffic signs image database. Most the images were in EPS and I converted them. The images look identical to the ones you are uploading. What are you trying to accomplish? --Svgalbertian (talk) 21:58, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
- While that is true, there are inherent errors in the actual EPS files provided. The signs are not all symmetrical. For example, with the basic warning triangle I found that opening in it inkscape and flipping it around, points would move when they aren't supposed to. The same problem would happen with simple shapes like the uneven road symbol in File:UK traffic sign 556.svg. Also, they were not all the same size. File:UK traffic sign 543.svg was provided at a size nearly double that of File:UK traffic sign 512.1.svg. I know that in the long run it's a very minor nick, but I prefer when things are perfectly symmetrical and uniform where they are supposed to be. So I am taking the EPS files and re-drawing them where needed using the originals so that when I'm done they will be uniform in every aspect. Fry1989 eh? 03:21, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
File:EAA.png
Estimated Fry1989:
You are a powerful man.
2kb File:EAA.png erased, even without consensus.
Congratulations.
Girardelli G.Escucho 16:48, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
- You were told why File:EAA.png was deleted in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Roundel of Argentina.svg, because SVG is the preferred format for these types of images and that your file was a tiny duplicate of File:Roundel of Argentina.svg. You can still use the SVG in your signature if you want. Fry1989 eh? 18:22, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, but no fits, [[File:Roundel of Argentina.svg|25px]] is longer that [[File:EAA.png]], signature only allows 250 characters. Regards: Girardelli G.Escucho 23:25, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
- I am sorry, it was not a personal decision, we just usually delete images that are small and have a SVG. If you want to upload your file again, I will not nominate it for deletion and I will explain why to everyone else so that it may stay. Fry1989 eh? 01:03, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

- You're a good person. Thank you! Girardelli G.Escucho 21:53, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
SVG request
Howdy, howdy! I was wondering if you could make an SVG of this flag here. There's an SVG you can use to help make it, here. Thanks! Illegitimate Barrister 00:45, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
- Sure can, I'll have that done later tonight. Fry1989 eh? 01:26, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks a bunch! [:-)] Illegitimate Barrister 01:52, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
Serbia road signs
Hello, Fry, Can you make road signs in Serbia, withouth graffiti? https://www.flickr.com/photos/109686737@N06/sets/72157644304142875 http://www.kbs.rs/userfiles/files/news/p%20sign%20kbs%202011.pdf http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1359819

Esperanto flag color
Hello. As a follow up to our discussion about the proper green color of the Esperanto flag, I have managed to receive an answer from the World Esperanto Association (UEA), in which they state two colors they use in actual recent publications linked to the World Congresses of Esperanto and general Esperanto symbolism. Because I think this puts an end to the discussion, I have posted the information once again at the Esperanto Wikipedia talk page. I hope you appreciate the bilinguality that I have tried to preserve. Also thank you for not changing the color until the dispute is settled. If you want to, although the distance is not that high, I agree that you now change the color in accordance with my own conclusion derived from the UEA's answer, i.e. to PANTONE 3415 (C 98, M 23, Y 82, K 11) = #05AF29 (UEA's recommendation for flag colors – I hope I have all the calculations right). --Marek BLAHUŠ (talk) 23:11, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, I have talked further to people from the UEA and we concluded that if you change the color of the flag to Pantone 3415C as you have suggested, therefore making it R 0, G 122, B 77 in the file (like on the Flag of South Africa.svg), that would be an acceptable color for all of us. The person to whom I have talked has expressed concerns in particular about the first proposal being too bluish, which the Esperanto flag was never meant to be, while there is probably some tollerance as long as the color is more or less "green". If you agree, please perform the necessary changes, and thank you for your help. --Marek BLAHUŠ (talk) 15:58, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
I'm wondering whether you could clarify your reversion here. As far as I can see, the only difference between your version of the file and 5b6v's is the position of the white disc: 5b6v's is centered in the fly half of the flag, while yours is offset slightly to the top-right. Would you mind explaining why you feel 5b6v's changes constitute vandalism? Alkari (?), 9 August 2014, 03:12 UTC
- The problem rather concerns File:Civil Air Ensign of Fiji.svg. I believe that 5b6v may be a sockpuppet of JSYR or Suzuki Auto, who were not confirmed as sockpuppets because they ceased editing before warranting a checkuser. If they are a sock, all of their uploads are under scrutiny. Fry1989 eh? 03:37, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your speedy reply. "Scrutiny" shouldn't mean "automatic reversion", though. At File:Civil Air Ensign of Fiji.svg, 5b6v seems to have added 53 kB to the file size with no change in the image's appearance, so I definitely support your reversion there. But that dispute has nothing to do with the Falkland Islands ensign, where 5b6v's version is an improvement for both geometric accuracy and file size. I'd like to ask that you not continue to revert the changes to the Falklands ensign. Much appreciated! Alkari (?), 9 August 2014, 04:23 UTC
Finland Greater Coat of Arms
Would You update the file:Finland Greater Coat of Arms.svg, with the fir trunk, please? --85.76.100.14 13:30, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- No I will not, I don't want anything more to do with those arrogant users. Fry1989 eh? 18:35, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello! I noticed that you uploaded Slovenia road sign III-75.svg. Could you, please, modify it so that speed limit for expressways is 110 (not 100) km/h? Thus states the article 46 of 2010 Act Amending the Road Traffic Safety Act (Uradni list RS, #109/2010 from 30th December 2010), so this is so for the last few years. --romanm (talk) 19:43, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I fixed it. However, if you could elaborate on the source, it would be great. Did you find the image somewhere on the SI government's web page and converted it to SVG yourself? If so, please add the address and your contribution to the field "source". Thanks, — Yerpo Eh? 18:42, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
- I found two road company PDFs which contain the road signs and I extracted them. I can not link them in the source and so I attributed it to the Slovenian Highway Code. Fry1989 eh? 19:49, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
Soviet Russia and Ukraine maps
Hi, there was a mistake made on a few files. I know you're not the one who made them but you seem to be very knowledgeable of how to edit SVG files. The northern part of Arabat Spit was a part of the Russian SFSR before 1954 just like all of Crimea, it was only transferred to Kherson Oblast after Crimea was given to Ukraine. Can you remove the Northern Arabat Spit from flag maps of the Ukrainian SSR and add it to the RSFSR. The following maps are the ones that need to be fixed, File:Flag-map of Ukrainian SSR (1945-1949).svg, File:Flag-map of Ukrainian SSR (1949–1954).svg, File:Flag-map of Russian SFSR (1945-1954).svg and File:Flag-map of Russian SFSR (1954).svg. Thank you! --KronosLine (talk) 20:47, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- I will see what I can do. Fry1989 eh? 19:50, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
Please use sub-categories
––Apalsola t • c 17:25, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- I am working rather hard on making a standard set of categories for "Road signs in" which you are screwing up by reverting me, the least you could do it talk to me about it first regarding your concerns instead of hitting the revert button. Try that, and maybe I'll change my mind. Fry1989 eh? 17:32, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- So, you think you "own" the "Road signs in" categories and other users need your permission to modify them?
- Definitely "Road signs in" categories do not belong directly under the country category. In addition "Roads in" categories are child categories of "Road transport infrastructure in" categories, so "Road signs in" categories should be placed only in one of these categories. ––Apalsola t • c 08:13, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- And since "Category:Road signs in..." < "Category:Signs in..." < "Category:Symbols of...", "Road signs in" categories must not be placed directly under "Symbols of" categories, either. ––Apalsola t • c 13:51, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Where did I say I own anything? Or that others require my permission to alter categories? You're making an incredible amount of assumption here and I have no obligation to explain anything to such and arrogant rude person who is obviously too foolish to ever consider that there was maybe a deliberate reasoning behind why I chose these 6 specific categories. The least you could have done, even if you think I am wrong, would have been to assume good faith in my efforts, which you did not and instead hit the revert button and accused me of overcategorization like I'm some virgin user who doesn't have a clue about subcats even existing. So as long as you address me with this attitude like you are better than me instead of realizing that maybe there was a systematic reasoning behind why I did it this way which you did not consider at all, piss off! Fry1989 eh? 16:13, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- I did not accuse you a kindly asked you to avoid placing categories into several categories within the same tree. In contrary, you say I am "screwing up", you call me "foolish" and "[an] arrogant rude person", and tell me to "piss off". So much for assuming good faith...
- Anyway, I am still interested to hear what is the systematic reasoning behind your efforts. Best regards, ––Apalsola t • c 19:06, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi - you reverted my code cleaning on this bloated file and added as edit summary "Don't". What does that mean? -- Maxxl² - talk 18:01, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- It means that I work very hard on my files to make sure they have perfect symmetry and construction and I don't care about their file size anywhere near as much as I do that they be properly constructed, that often when users like yourself use tools to reduce their file size it usually messes something up with the file, and I don't like you touching them. Fry1989 eh? 18:21, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- Please remember that you don't own the files you uploaded. I fail to notice a visual difference between old and new file so the code cleaning is OK. The validator just shows a warning about "No Character encoding declared at document level". On Frys file there are two notices about no checks for inkscape or RDF errors. --Denniss (talk) 19:03, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- I never claimed ownership, I have described an issue with the code reduction methods used by various users which deform the files from my original construction of them. When a code reduction tool is used, it can alter the file's construction and points of reference may no longer be exact. It's not something that is readily visible unless you inspect the file, so most users wouldn't even notice a difference, but I do and it's something I take pride in when I construct images.

- On top of that, I do not like Maxxl2 and would prefer them to not touch my works. They are not my friend, they called me a thief and created a sub-page to further that accusation, I never received any sort of apology for it, and I am not interested in their sudden desires to be collegial. Fry1989 eh? 21:05, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
Rollbacker
I've added this right to your account. Perhaps you'll have a chance to roll back some Jermboy edits sometime soon... Here's another interesting rollback tool I've used with JB27 and Wikinger:
importScriptURI('//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/massRollback.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
This script gives you a "rollback all" option in the dropdown list on contribs pages, and rolls back about 35/40 edits per minute (unfortunately it creats a new window for each rollback, so a browser crash can be a danger). Just remember to rollback responsibly... INeverCry 02:27, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, I haven't seen any recently but I'm always keeping my eye out for socks. Fry1989 eh? 18:18, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
Source for flags and arms of Mexico
My sources for shields and flags are:
Pages and books from the Mexican government.

ad from someone who has done a good job on the shield even has its very reliable and verifiable sources, most even via internet. and even this in English.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Coins_of_Mexico
In this page I can not say much more. Faulty shields and flags, replaced only give you an example:
Shields were replaced by exhibiting significant errors, the simplest is to see this shield odviamente shield use the current version of the Mexican coat with aggregate that do not correspond with the version that was used between 1934 and 1968.
I hope your sources:

Flag Map of Chile
Hi!, i was wondering if you could make a flag map of chile, there is one right now but it is incomplete, (the islands are not represented as you can see in the map to the left). Well i hope you have the time, thank you and bye!!--Alexxxos (talk) 04:30, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Maps regarding Crimea
- Hello, sir! I honestly do that what you are doing - putting the template "Inaccurate map" on the images showing Crimea as a part of Russia - is wrong. Here are my reasons: 1) The description of maps clearly stipulates that they show the opinion of one particular side of the conflict. 2) Maps showing Crimea simply as a part of Ukraine would violate NPOV as well, because they do not reflect the de-facto situation (Crimea is controlled by Russia and therefore Russian laws apply there). 3) There are lots of non-neutral images, including flag maps (Flag map of Korea (South Korea).png, for example) and no one puts any templates on them, since they do not violate rules and regulations of Wikimedia Commons 4) Different Wikipedias may use images for different purposes and you try to intimidate the editors with a label "using this image would a be violation of rules" 5) Template "Inaccurate map" is used for inaccurate maps, not for those someone considers non-neutral. If you still disagree, shall we ask admins to settle our dispute? Elmor (talk) 06:08, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- I highly suggest you stop acting like you own these maps. Nothing stops anybody from using them if they wish to do so, but the notices should remain to warn users that these maps violate NPOV where that policy applies, such as articles. The maps with Crimea being a part of Ukraine do not violate NPOV because that is the internationally recognised border by every single country except for Russia which is a instigator of the dispute. I am not here to discuss other non-neutral maps that have nothing to do with the Crimea issue. If you feel there is some level of hypocrisy, you may add the templates to them yourself. If you remove these notices again, I will take this to a higher review. Please stop removing them. Fry1989 eh? 16:33, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- It seems that you will not change your opinion, so please do take this to a higher review (and, please, inform me when you do), since it seems the only way to settle the dispute. Elmor (talk) 02:37, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

- The discussion did not end with administrators ruling in you favour, yet you restored the templates once again. Please revert your edits, otherwise I'll have to report your actions to the adminboard. Elmor (talk) 15:38, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
- It didn't go in your favour either, so you're in no position to dictate anything. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 16:26, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
- Indeed, it did not go in your favour either Elmor, and there was certainly no agreement by other users or admins that the template is wrong. You have yet to provide any reason why the template is wrong, so no I will not remove them. Should you do so, I will re-open the AN and this time demand a resolution. Fry1989 eh? 17:28, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but this is wrong. You are the one making an action (adding the template), so it is actually you who should justify it, not the other way. Shall we go back to the "User problems" page and ask for a resolution together? Elmor (talk) 01:43, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
- I do not need to justify anything, YOU need to explain why a map which displays a territorial situation that is obviously under international dispute should not be clearly labelled as such. So far, you have failed to give any reason. I will not remove the templates, and I will continue to add them back until there is community consensus for their removal. Fry1989 eh? 02:13, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
- Fry already has justified the template, the recognition of Crimea being part of Russia isn't recognised internationally. I support Fry adding the template to images relating to the disputed territory. Bidgee (talk) 04:57, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
- Well. this is not how it works (at least usually). When you make an edit and someone reverts it, you go to the talk page and try to form a consensus, instead of pushing your edit through. Meanwhile, the file or an article remains as is was until the consensus us being reached. If you interlocutor clearly sabotages the discussion or tries to violate the rules of the project, you address the administration. In any case, I created a new topic at the noticeboard page, so let us continue our discussion there. Elmor (talk) 02:29, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Maps should not show Crimea as being part of Russia, since the United Nations and the overwhelming majority of the world's countries do not recognize it as such. Illegitimate Barrister 19:32, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
AN/U
Please note that I have raised a matter than concerns you at Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems#Long_term_pattern_of_image_overwrites_of_others_by_Fry1989. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 23:39, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
- You know Fæ as I said, if it weren't for a few different things, we probably could have been friends. I don't understand your hunt against me, especially since my edits are starting to wind down. I have a backlog of probably 3000 images to upload and catalogue but I'm loosing my drive, in part because of people like you. Fry1989 eh? 20:00, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
As an interested party.
As an interested party I thought you should know that Commons:Deletion requests/User:Fæ/Fry1989 revert analysis exists. And so I can't be accused of canvassing I'm only informing yourself and Fastily. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 16:47, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
Kind of on your side this time
I don't understand what half the stuff they're discussing on AN/U is supposed to be, or why it should be considered important. Don't feel like directly intervening in the mud-wrestling... AnonMoos (talk) 17:04, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
Argentina and Mandatory signs around the world.svg
Hey, I just noticed that you updated and changed Argentina's color. So in order to update my MUTCD signs page accordingly, I looked around, and it seems that your update is wrong - it should stay orange. Argentina still uses both type-A and type-B mandatory signs; type-A indicate permitted actions and type-B indicate mandatory actions. For your reference: Source 1 Source 2
Just wanted to let you know.--Amateria1121 (talk) 18:10, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
- Argentina also uses a third type of mandatory sign, blue with a red circle where other countries use Type A or Type B. That is why I have made Argentina purple. Fry1989 eh? 18:13, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
- My mistake, I thought that was an optical illusion. Perhaps update the description then? You might have to invent a "proceed straight" sign in the third color scheme for consistency's sake though.--Amateria1121 (talk) 00:18, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
- I'm trying to decide how to change the description to reflect Argentina, it's difficult but I'll figure it out soon. Fry1989 eh? 00:20, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

About your revert war with user:YLSS, the very reason your version isn't suitable on Commons which requires every file to be copyright-free technically because the "deer" is not "simple geometry" and is eligible for copyright. If you want to have the deer version, you should upload it to the local (e.g. Russian) Wikipedia under the fair use license. But in any case the usage of any fair use file is very limited. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 23:43, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
- Are you aware that the deer was taken from another Commons file and therefore is already copyright-free? Your concern, while well-intended, does not apply. Fry1989 eh? 00:09, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed, part of the argument was that it was the wrong deer. So if it's the wrong deer, and one that is copyright-free then the whole drama becomes moot. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 00:17, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Question about Dutch Wikipedia issues
About this issue, I have a question: Did you document this and make a post on Meta? If not, that may be something you may consider WhisperToMe (talk) 16:44, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
- It is documented on the Dutch Wikipedia, but I would have to go back through several months of data to find everything again before I could present it to Meta. I chose to request my account be blocked on the Dutch Wikipedia to just avoid having to do anything with them. They don't want me there, they can have their way.

Anguilla Flag
Hi, I have a little question, why some users like the non official version of the flag from anguilla, for me doesn't matter but I don´t like so much the shape of the coat of arms, I saw in the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony that the flag is with the shape that you don't accept, in that case please fix the shape of the coat of arms, thank you, greetings from Chile. --Crisolympic16 (talk) 03:50, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Fry! Last November I went to Turkey, so I can saw how was Turkish road signs made... After I've searched for them on the web and I've found some pages from the Turkish government, like this...I hope you'll can to open this. Bye!! --Gigillo83 (talk) 08:02, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
Flag request?
Hey, I love your version of the United States 51 Star Flag:
http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/8b/b0/53/8bb053227082fbabc4334fe2f821aa9a.jpg
And I was wondering if I might request a couple of other rare flags be made up, with the 2000x rendering option?
http://www.debate.org/photos/albums/1/3/2606/32577-2606-xccnn-a.jpg That is the personal flag of George Washington from 1775.
http://public.media.smithsonianmag.com/legacy_blog/pacman.jpg That is a different, and rather unusual 51 star United States flag proposition, notably rendering the stars as Pac-Man.
http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/2013-12/enhanced/webdr02/4/6/enhanced-buzz-18399-1386157744-0.jpg And this is a proposed version of the Union Jack without Scotland.

Seals of Ohio state agencies
Hi, would you mind updating File:Seal of the Ohio Senate.svg to use File:Coat of arms of Ohio.svg instead of File:Seal of Ohio.svg? Here are some examples of the seal in use: [1][2][3] Also, File:Seal of the City of Youngstown (Ohio).svg has a typo. Thanks for your help! – Minh Nguyễn 💬 09:51, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Revert input
Howdy, partner! I was thinking of reverting the File:Seal of Detroit, Michigan.svg to the 25 July 2013 version, and would like to hear your thoughts on it. The reason for reverting is that I think it might be covered under Commons:Overwriting_existing_files#Files_with_current_data, as the current rendition appears to be outdated. If not, I'll just upload the 25 July 2013 version under File:Seal of Detroit.svg. Likewise, I uploaded a new version of File:Flag of Utah.svg under this rationale, as the previous version was factually inaccurate; I'm sure that is covered under the overwrite guidlines. Regards, Illegitimate Barrister 00:31, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- I am not sure whether the seal was updated or if the version on the flag is just a simplification. I would suggest uploading it separately. The flag of Utah is a different situation, the flag was redesigned so it was right to overwrite. Fry1989 eh? 17:21, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for the advice! I'll upload the seal seperately under a new name. Cheers! Illegitimate Barrister 00:46, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems
Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems is NOT Requests for Adminship. There is no justification for you or anybody else to be stating whether a user, especially one totally unconnected with the discussion at hand should be an administrator or what you feel about them. That should be left for an RfA. If you make a further attack about Fae, I will block you, simple as. You presumably saw my earlier comment and chose to ignore it, determined to cause trouble. Well that is not happening. You can restore whatever parts of your comment you desire without any further comment on Fae or RfA. Nick (talk) 00:01, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- If you do not stop removing my completely unrelated response to Geogene because you are so upset I don't think another user should be an admin (I notice you did not remove Tuvalkin's comment regarding that, only mine), I am going to be very very angry. And don't even bother threaten me with a block, you may not have noticed but I've barely been active the last few weeks and a block for stating my mind would nether teach me a lesson or look proportionate. "Quite frankly Ma'am, I don't give a damn." Fry1989 eh? 00:06, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- I've asked Tuvalkin to strike their comment, it was made 40 minutes before I was aware of it. I've removed your comment because you left it after I left a message asking Tuvalkin and by association, everybody else, to avoid making comments which could cause trouble. For what little it's worth, I'd do exactly the same if someone said the same about you. Nick (talk) 00:18, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Venezuela Roundel
Sorry Fry, I don't speak English, but I try.
The Roudel of Venezuela (Escarapela) was changed in 2012 according to the directives of painting directive issued by CEO-DIR-119 (31/08/2012) and CEO-DIR-120 (4/9/2012). Unfortunately it is not online official information and that the guidelines were printed on paper.
However, here's a tweet issued by the Venezuelan Air Force confirming that is guided by the guidelines issued by the CEO-DIR-119.
These links more information. Include infographics Bolivarian Military Aviation. [9] [10] [11]. The information was written by Adolfo Alfonzo, Subdirector of the magazine "Revista Ámbito Cívico Militar" and Editor of the virtual magazine "CAMUFLAJE, ARTE E ILUSTRACIÓN".
In Spanish:
Las Directivas fueron elaboradas en plena facultad por el Grupo de Dirección de la Tarea Halcón con amplia participación decisoria operativa y logística de los 4 Componentes (EB, AB; AMB y GNB) y aprobado por el Grupo de Dirección de la Tarea Libertad en el marco del Plan Sucre con soporte en el CRBV, LOSN, LOFANB dentro de los proyectos y planes vigentes para el desarrollo nacional que adelanta el Comando Estratégico Operacional;y el Ministerio Popular para la Defensa.
La Fuerza Armada Nacional Bolivariana establece mediante estas Directivas las modificaciones necesarias en sus insignias y marcas, respondiendo a las nuevas situaciones tácticas y de seguridad como se establece en la Quinta Disposición Transitoria de la Ley de Reforma Parcial de la Ley de Bandera, Escudo e Himno Nacional (2006). Las Insignias y marcas modificadas de uso en aeronaves administrativas de La Fuerza Armada Nacional Bolivariana cumplen con los requisitos de identificación visual como se establece en Convenio sobre Aviación Civil Internacional de 1944, Capítulo III Sobre la Nacionalidad de Aeronaves, artículos 17 al 21.
La Directiva CEO-DIR-119 deroga: EJÉRCITO: Instructivo Nº EJ CAVEJB 05 11; ARMADA: Directiva DIR-OR-CGA-0003-C; AVIACIÓN: Directiva FAV/D 60-18 del 16 de Junio de 1988, Ordenes Técnicas 1-1-4, 1-1-8, 35-1-3, 36-1-3, 42A-1-1 y 42A2-1-4 y GUARDIA NACIONAL: Directiva de identificación de las aeronaves de la Guardia Nacional Nº 587 del 16 de Abril de 1994; RAV 43 (Mantenimiento); RAV 91 (Operación General de aeronaves y reglas de vuelo).
Las Directivas entraron en vigencia a partir de la fecha de su publicación. Emisión: 31-08-12; Aprobación 17-11-12; Publicación 05-12-12.

- Hi Fry. I do not know if this will serve you as a reference, but I leave a link (http://www.ceofanb.mil.ve/index.php/publicaciones/revista-ambito-civico-militar) to the official website of Strategic Operational Command of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces of Venezuela. As you may notice, the magazine "Ámbito Cívico Militar" it is edited and published by this institution. Unfortunately only be seen online the latest publication of the magazine. As I said before, the changes of the roundel were published in the edition No. 37 of the magazine.
- Given that the image I uploaded was reversed, I do not know what steps to take, because the roundel (File:Roundel of Venezuela.svg) going for three years outdated.
- Do not be surprised if much echo information is ignored. In fact many Venezuelans do not even know what a roundel, let alone use. Since 1999 the government of Venezuela is determined to change the symbols of the institutions and the nation, hence the reason that many changes go unnoticed.--Vinotinto1000 (talk) 22:13, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
1977 Romanian stop sign
Please refrain from adding the black border on the 1977 Romanian stop sign. It needs to remain EXACTLY as Romania intended it. There is no sign in Romania that has that black border. Let's keep it that way. Dude00007 (talk)
- It is EXACTLY as Romania intended it, but a black border is necessary or you can not see the white part. Fry1989 eh? 20:33, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- And you called me 'hypocritical' when the border I used was for a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COUNTRY. This is about Romania, you were referring to an edit I was doing to a GERMAN road sign. So don't call people hypocrites when their edits aren't, OK? Dude00007 (talk)
- Ah yes, different country so that makes it ok. The Romanian stop sign does not have a black border, but the German speed limit sign does not have one either does it? The reason those files have a border is because without one, the external white area is invisible, it is needed. Fry1989 eh? 23:43, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- It's not "invisible", it's just hard to see. But if you absolutely need to have a border, let's end this. Revert the current one to the borderless, and upload your own bordered version. There. Problem solved. Dude00007 (talk)

Flag of Morocco
Hello,
Could you please take a look on File talk:Flag of Morocco.svg#Bigger star before reverting my edit? The official portal of the Government of Morocco shows an unbordered star with a radius of 1/2, and that prevails over a 1915 decree that only deals with merchant/maritime flags.
Thanks.
--Omar-toons (talk) 18:10, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
- No, it does not. The portal does not contain an official construction sheet or rules on the proportions, which the 1915 decree did. Fry1989 eh? 18:19, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
- The 1915 decree only talk about the naval ensign, not the national flag. It does not prevail over Gov's website.
- --Omar-toons (talk) 01:27, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
- Naval Ensign and the National Flag should share the same proportions, wouldn't that make sense???? Either provide a construction sheet, or the 1915 decree is supreme. Fry1989 eh? 01:29, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Deletion requests for logos
Hi, thanks for noticing a few logo uploads today! For the future, please use {{Duplicate}} when a higher-quality version (e.g. SVG) is available and {{Copyvio}} when the copyright violation is obvious (such as logos consisting of more than basic shapes). This makes dealing with those cases more straightforward. Thanks again for helping to make Commons a better place! —Wuzur 21:26, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Flag of Sweden
On 26 May 2014 you uploaded a new version of File:Flag_of_Sweden.svg citing "Per user talk and source". What is your source for those colors? The blue in the new version is much too pale. Kolbasz (talk) 21:00, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- I think I see now: this talk section? Best I can figure, said user simply copied the colors from the GIFs at http://riksarkivet.se/sveriges-flaggas-farger . The actual official specification is NCS 4055-R95B, clarified as CIE xyY (0.189, 0.192, 8.3) - everything else is a conversion (and color space conversions are tricky!). And it seems someone failed with those GIFs (but with them being GIFs of all things, this is not entirely surprising).
Anyway. Plugging (0.189, 0.192, 8.3) into [12], which tends to be good enough (see: color space conversions being tricky), yields (12, 84, 142) or #c548eff - a much better result. Kolbasz (talk) 21:16, 3 March 2015 (UTC)- I will not be changing the colours. I have to agree with the current ones at this time. Fry1989 eh? 18:57, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- Why? They are quite simply wrong. Kolbasz (talk) 22:52, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

You should really pay attention before increasing the size of the file by about 47,000% ... -- AnonMoos (talk) 13:09, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- You know, I will ignore my first instinct to tell you where to stick it, but I don't need to be talked down to because of my SVG skills over a few hundred KB. Fry1989 eh? 15:33, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
- As I told you before, I'm by no means as much of an SVG file-size fetishist as several other users on Wikimedia Commons. However, increasing a file's size in bytes by about 470 times (without a very specific valid reason) should raise a red flag, and could be avoided by exercising an ordinary degree of care. P.S. As was discussed at Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2013/06 , you have good practical Inkscape skills, but that's not the same thing as having true SVG skills (i.e. being able to deal with SVG code directly). AnonMoos (talk) 04:54, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
- If it matters so much, how about you teach me instead of criticising me? If you're not such a fetishist, it shouldn't matter for you any more than it matters for me. Either way just telling me to "really pay attention" isn't helpful, especially when I am re-constructing the flag (which I have no idea how to do in code) as opposed to simply altering the colours (which I do know how to do in code). Fry1989 eh? 16:56, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
- When I say "exercise an ordinary degree of care", I don't mean within Inkscape, but so that the size of the file version you upload is not grossly discrepant with the size of the existing file version on Commons (unless you have legitimately introduced a lot of new complexity into your file version). The size of a file should be reported in the "Upload a new version of this file" screen of your browser (before you actually upload the file). There's supposedly a command in some versions of Inkscape to delete unused definitions from an SVG file, but since I only use an (obsolete version of) Inkscape to view and convert SVG files (not actually to edit SVG files), I can't help you with the details. In the case of this particular file, deleting everything between "<defs>" and "</defs>" in a text editor would have eliminated 99% of the bloat without doing any harm to the file, but that's not true in general, and a full tutorial on how to edit raw SVG code would be lengthy...

You have been invited many time to explain your editions. In spite of that, you've consistently refused to do so as if you thought this is a game or a question of having it bigger.

- My grasp of the english language is not that good. Maybe 'agenda' was not the more precise word. I simply saw no reason aside from the purely personal taste standpoint for that edition. I saw no "bad faith" (whatever that is?? :-O) in you, but a chain of edits by the same user producing a disruptive effect across the projects, as you were reverted here (the place where I came across the commons file) for similar reasons by a trusted user in the spanish wikipedia. I am truly sorry for personalising the issue, but well, now I've explained myself, don't let a trivial beef to drive us away from bringing the real arguments and having a proper and healthy discussion.

Assistance with svg
Hi Fry, I was wondering if you could see where I've gone wrong with File:Adelaide Airport logo.svg? I have worked on logos that have gradient in the past, all of them needed some work to get them to work (image server had issues rendering to png) but I'm quite busy. Most likely did something that is impossible for the image server to render, even though it displays fine in my browser and image editor. Bidgee (talk) 01:17, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
- I don't know what's going on there, but I don't really have much experience with gradient SVGs. My guess is something bugging it up, I tried to convert to paths but it still isn't rendering. Sorry. Fry1989 eh? 01:29, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for looking at it though. :) Bidgee (talk) 05:08, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Additional Philippine road sign diagrams
Dear Fry1989.
I am from the Philippines. Already, there are only 38 files on the category about Philippine road signs. Accordingly, most of the Philippine road sign are mostly based on the Vienna Convention (such as the red and white triangle on warning road signs, excluding the crossbuck on railroad crossings, the red and white circle with a red oblique line on prohibitory road signs, excluding the no entry/do not enter sign, the blue circle with white pictogram on mandatory signs, the blue rectangle for information signs, etc.), as a signatory since 1968, but present signage are influenced by US MUTCD signs (such as the fluorescent yellow-green signs, used as more retro-reflective variants for pedestrian crossing, school zone, bicycle crossing and handicapped crossing signs on heavily used national highways or arterial thoroughfares, the "verbose" green guide signs, sign typeface (Highway Gothic), and, also, pictograms on signs, based on the Standard Highway Signs drawings) and Australian road signs (such as standard expressway signage (group GE-Guide signs for expressways), mostly seen in the South Luzon Expressway, the no entry sign, turn restriction signs (with some differences), and the kind of English, such as "No Entry" in place for "Do Not Enter" and "No Overtaking" (Filipino:Bawal lumusot) in place of "Do Not Pass" or "No Passing". The common typeface on road signs in the Philippines is Highway Gothic, but Helvetica, Arial and Clearview(Used on guide signs, especially expressway signage, to replace Highway Gothic, subject to haloing that affect sign visibility at night) signs also appears on signage.
I have SVG's of Philippine road signs, but I am unclear of the configuration number, which can be found in the Road Sign and Markings Manual, that can be downloaded as ZIP files. I will help add more signs based on the standard signs and categorize them as "Regulatory road signs", "Special regulation signs", "Warning road signs", "Guide road signs", and "Hazard road signs", but I have trouble downloading the ZIP files from the Department of Public Works and Highways' official website. Can you help me add more Philippine road sign diagrams?
Thanks,
--TagaSanPedroAko(Let's talk/Usap tayo) 15:28, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

- Thanks for the info, Fry1989. It seems that downloading that manual is difficult, since my computer stops working, especially when it is overheating. I can help, although the download of the ZIP file may take a half hour.
I will reply in case downloading is difficult, so, I will obtain the PDF instead by e-mail.--TagaSanPedroAko(Let's talk/Usap tayo) 00:58, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

- Fry1989, I have a copy of those Road Signs and Markings Manual (2 PDF's). I will work on the configuration of the signs. You may work on improving the signs after I upload them with the PD-PhilippinesGov or other public domain license template. Hope that you add more Philippine road signs on this collaboration. --TagaSanPedroAko(Let's talk/Usap tayo) 01:09, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you, I look forward to working with you on these road signs :) Fry1989 eh? 03:27, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
- I uploaded new Philippine road sign diagrams with words, but the letters does not match the real typeface (Philippine road signs mostly uses a font similar to the FHWA font used in American and Australian road signs, but, some signs uses Arial, Clearview (common on new guide signs because of high legibility at night compared to Highway Gothic, which is subject to haloing by headlights), Helvetica, and even Franklin Gothic).

- Fry1989, I have a copy of those Road Signs and Markings Manual (2 PDF's). I will work on the configuration of the signs. You may work on improving the signs after I upload them with the PD-PhilippinesGov or other public domain license template. Hope that you add more Philippine road signs on this collaboration. --TagaSanPedroAko(Let's talk/Usap tayo) 01:09, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
- Does the letters needed to be converted into paths in order for the letters to render properly?--TagaSanPedroAko(Let's talk/Usap tayo) 11:51, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
- I am not very good with text unfortunately, so I don't know how to fix that. I would suggest a Graphic Lab request for the problems with the text rendering. Fry1989 eh? 18:35, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
- Hello, Fry1989
- I have been adding more road signs of the Philippines, along with Photo07 now works with SVG road signs of the Philippines. Two warning sign shapes are used in the Philippines, the red and white triangle (Vienna Convention standard) and the fluorescent yellow-green and black pentagon (taken from the school zone sign on the US Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and adopted in the 2012 version of the Road Signs and Pavement Markings Manual to replace the red and white triangle for pedestrian and school zone signs. Grandfathered pedestrian and school road signs using the red and white rectangle still appear after the 2012 amendments to the manual.). Fry1989, you can use the red triangle from a copy of this file by Photo07 (talk)with rounded corners to create more of those warning road signs using that warning sign shape. --TagaSanPedroAko(Let's talk/Usap tayo) 16:33, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- I will see if I can improve the triangle and make more signs soon. Fry1989 eh? 17:12, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
- Just a note, the triangle was made using the new live corners tool of Illustrator (pretty neat feature!) using the angle measurements in the manual (600X600) so it should be quite accurate with nothing much to change. :) --Photo07 (talk) 18:02, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, that's one thing I struggle with along with text. Fry1989 eh? 19:13, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- Fry1989, don't forget to create subcategories for all of the road signs of the Philippines. Philippine road signs are grouped as Regulatory, Warning, Guide (including signs for expressways/controlled access highway), and Traffic Instruction signs.

- Hello, Fry1989
Also, some signs will be only used in the future, such as route number signs for national highways, so, place a note on the description of those files that states that they will be used in the future.--TagaSanPedroAko(Let's talk/Usap tayo) 07:49, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
