blason du Cambodge 1979/1989

Bonjour, vous avez réalisé un superbe blason de la Republique du Vietnam , pensez vous que vous pourriez dessiner le blason du Cambodge entre 1979 et 1989 s'il vous plait File:PRK coa.jpg

Merci d'avance bonne soirée --Dunkerqueenflandre (talk) 21:55, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please help

Dear Fry,

Don't know what to do with this: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Coat of Arms of Kate Middleton.svg. If my version resembles too closely the original, I could upload a new one with markable differences, I have no problem with that, but would it really just end there? Sodacan (talk) 22:07, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have viewed the deletion request, and to be honest, it dumbfounds me. Your file is so different from the BBC News source. It appears that the consensus is for it to be kept, so I wouldn't worry about it. However, if Russavia nominates other files of yours, it may mean he misunderstands the deletion and copyright guidelines, and may need some help learning about it. I myself don't know too much, but I know enough to say that your file should be safe from violation, based on the differences between it and your source. Fry1989 (talk) 22:18, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The thing is, I usually try not to make files that too closely resembles the source, in order to avoid this type of issue. In this case however I totally forgot in my haste to put a version on Commons. I would be willing to upload an actual derivative with obvious differences of this file, however under the original rationale for deletion this would still not be good enough. Hopefully a compromise could be reached, it would be a shame if Wiki does not have a depiction of the arms for use. Thank you anyways. Sodacan (talk) 22:28, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree it would be a shame. Perhaps if you uploaded over a new version with some other changes, that would satisfy those who fear it's "too close" to the original. Fry1989 (talk) 22:30, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I think that is probably the best solution, the current file is very difficult to defend. If I upload over it and change some source information, it would certainly take some wind out of his arguments. Thanks! (luckily I just got the alternate versions ready just now) ;) Sodacan (talk) 22:43, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done! Thanks for all the advice, hope this will end it now Sodacan (talk) 23:00, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No problem mate :) have a good one Fry1989 (talk) 23:22, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

President of Indonesia

Why thank you for your compliment and suggestion. :)

Done.. here the image I've just made in two version color: and black:

Actually the image you had refering to earlier is not the official seal of the president, first it was written in english, while usually Indonesian seals and emblems were written in Indonesian language. As far as I know there is no standard seal of Indonesian President, usually just using Indonesian Coat of Arms sometimes encircled with golden ring. However the black and white version (that I'm also applied in color version) is the common style of Indonesian official seal, usually used as rubber stamps put on the sign of the president on official letters. Cheers... (Gunkarta (talk) 17:50, 4 May 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Re: File:ModTarget.png

I agree with your request of deletion. I'm a new user and I uploaded the file just to add it to my signature, because I didn't know how to resize the SVG file I found in Commons. If you can help me in this, I will be grateful. -- QuadropheniaG Talk 10:08, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

No problem. I have actually already done it for you on the page where you were using the file ModTarget. If you go there, and click "edit", you will see that to resize the SVG file, you add |120px]] in the brackets that show the file. You can use whatever number you want, depending on how big or how small you want it. Fry1989 (talk) 18:35, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Such an helpful fellow you are. Now my signature is perfect and I learned much about wiki syntax. Thank you very much -- QuadropheniaG Talk 16:45, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

It's no problem mate. I've very happy to help you :) Fry1989 (talk) 16:47, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gentlemen are not over! -- QuadropheniaG Talk 13:32, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Please find a place for these

Dear Fry1989,

Please find a home for these, I made them based on this: The Personal Flags for use in Canada for The Prince of Wales and The Duke of Cambridge www.flickr.com. All the best! Sodacan (talk) 18:10, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh WOW, thank you so much for creating these. I wasn't aware there were personal flags for other members of the Canadian Royal Family, but they just created these according to the sources. This is awesome :) Fry1989 (talk) 19:53, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, hot off the presses apparently. Hopefully, the others will get theirs when they visit again after this. Sodacan (talk) 20:17, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nice. I hope so too, the more the merrier! haha. Fry1989 (talk) 21:14, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I wish they would have came up with new devices though. I would have replaced the feathers with maple leaves and for William I would have one maple leaf (like the one on the national flag) with his label on it, then crowned with his coronet. Maybe I should make them anyway..... hahahaha, oh well... Sodacan (talk) 21:22, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I like those ideas, but I don't mind these. I'm just glad we finally have Canadian standards for the Family when they visit us. Uniquely Canadian labels would be cool. Funny story though, my BF is a Republican, and I'm a Monarchist, so we debate this often lol. Anyhow, I jokingly made a Presidential Standard for him, taking the Queen's Standard, removing the crown, and rotating the E become an M, since his name is Matthew. That was fun, haha. Fry1989 (talk) 22:01, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
True, it is good that they now have a Canadian identity, I just wish it was just more Canadian and more imaginative. Like a beaver or a killer whale- not to have too much of a stereotypical view of your country of course! :P, But I guess that would give me more stuff to do- and I am quite stuffed with requests as it is. Hahaha I wish I could upload all sorts of jokes like this: Beatrice new coat of arms, but even that was completely by mistake! Of all the Realms, Canada seems to be the most loyal, but maybe now there will be a new branch: the Henryites, Long live King Harry of Canada (or Henry V, if you count the French Kings). Sodacan (talk) 22:32, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Beavers would ROCK! Haha. Yeah, we Canucks are loyal bunch, my BF's an Aussie, so that explains his republicanism hehe. I know you're swamped with requests as you said, but in the future, could you help me out with the labels on the British Royal Standards? I've done as best I can, but they have some issues, the main one being that they're supposed to be perfectly rectangular, but the three bars aren't, and could use a re-doing. Also one of the badges, the Cross of St. George, needs a fix to fit within the bars of the Label on those standards which use it. I really only need to you redesign the 3-point and 5-point label for one standard of each, and I can apply them to all the rest. Fry1989 (talk) 22:52, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I just tested it out, and I can use the 3-point label you created just for for the Canadian Standards on the UK ones. I would still need your help creating a 5-point label. Let me see how I can work it over the next couple days :) Fry1989 (talk) 23:34, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No problem then, I was just going to say I could do them later :) Sodacan (talk) 23:38, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Great. I just did the 3-point label, using yours for the new Canadian standards, and I'll upload it on all the ones using 3-point today. If you can make a 5-point for the other ones, based on my version of your 3-point label (mine is rectanguler, rather than pyramid shaped), that would be awesome. Some of the badges I will needs your help too. Unfortunately, I'm moving, so I will be on a wiki-break from Thursday the 30th of June to Monday the 4th of July, so you can wait if you like, or do it in between then, and just notify me here, and I'll see it when I get back. Either way is fine :) Fry1989 (talk) 00:20, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Alrighty. I've uploaded the new 3-point label on all the UK standards that use it, except for File:Royal Standard of Princess Anne.svg and it's Scottish Version. If you would be able to take my new label from File:Royal Standard of Prince William.svg, and apply it to Anne's, and fix the devices that would be great. What I'm trying to go for is the St. George's Cross to fit "exactly" withing the rectangular part of the label. Currently it's shaped weird and unevenly, which you can see when you click on the nodes of the cross. Other than that, if you could just take my new label, and make a 5-point version using it's dimensions, that would be great! You can do it whenever :) Thanks mate Fry1989 (talk) 01:00, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, at all. I guess the Aussies have their koalas.... Sodacan (talk) 10:15, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

President of Indonesia emblem

hi Fry1989!

i noticed that you have put back the indonesian president seal in the corresponding article. unfortunately, it wasn't the right emblem. maybe the seal is used in the documents etc., but it differs from the emblem that is used. here is the right emblem: it's confusing sometimes to talk about seal and emblem in Indonesia because we sometimes don't have the right standardization for it. but the emblem that I embed on this post is still currently used for state gazettes and/or other publishments issued.

Coat of arms of Cyprus

Coat of Arms of Cyprus.svg You said there is no source and it contradicts with passport but I am a citizen of Cyprus and it is on my ID which is only a year old. I had added government sites as source which you might not have seen. Next time please do this kind of edits after visiting talk pages of the articles the file used on like Cyprus. Ufo karadagli (talk) 19:31, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a problem then, because both HERE and HERE say otherwise. However, this one does show your version, so perhaps there are two versions? Fry1989 (talk) 16:01, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for late reply. Next time use {{Talkback}} so that I can see notification for your reply. I say check the dates. I think they are older versions. My id was issued in 2009. Here is blacked out version of my ID. The euro area image you sourced was from year 2008, the non bio passports were used before bio passports were issued. Reply as soon as possible and use {{Talkback}} please. Ufo karadagli (talk) 20:37, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But you must understand that National Emblems don't just change out of thin air. There are sources showing both, so idk if they've redesigned it, or if there are two versions because it's not standardized, or what ever else. There could be many reasons why we are seeing both in official use. The problem now, is how to figure out which is official, or if both are, or when the look was changed. Fry1989 (talk) 20:48, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to know more about national emblem changing process. Yes, that was the case for me. As I asked on Cyprus talk page too. I will return back to you if I can find any source about this. Ufo karadagli (talk) 21:11, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I would appreciate any insight, as I don't know myself. This is confusing. Fry1989 (talk) 21:19, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Problematic prime-minister's standard

Hi! As far as I know, there is no such Standard of the Prime Minister of Bulgaria. I've never seen such a flag on the facade of the Bulgarian Council of Ministers. Moreover, such a flag can not be found on the website of the Bulgarian government. Would you be able to offer any other relevant source for the existence of this standard of the Bulgarian prime minister? To be precise, the flags on the page flagspot.net can not be found in the official Bulgarian sources. As far as I know in Bulgaria there is no such tradition of specific standards of different state institutions. The national flag is used universally. I understand and appreciate your good will in the creation of Bulgarian symbols, but please note that in certain circumstances the result may be inaccurate and misleading. Best regards, Bulgarian Herald (talk) 18:22, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is my only source, however that doesn't mean it should be automatically discounted. There have been examples where that site has been right, even when there is no official record, an example of this would be the former presidential standard of &Austria. While the flag no longer is used, and when it was: only at military occasions, not civil, I had another user saying it was fictitious, when we later found out that it does in fact exist, or atleast did. This may be the same. It's possible the Prime Minister's flag of Bulgaria is only used within the military as a rank flag. We will have to contact the Bulgarian Government to find out. Fry1989 (talk) 18:28, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I hope you will agree that it is hardly logical to create images of official state symbols based on foreign unofficial sources, analogies and assumptions. Bulgarian Herald (talk) 18:38, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe a site's place of origin is a reason to discount anything, and the site does have many contributers from around the world. As I said, the site has proven itself to be true before. Fry1989 (talk) 18:41, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I will not have anything against this flag, if someone can prove with official source that it actually exists. Bulgarian Herald (talk) 18:50, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That may be difficult, but I assure you, if there is an official source, I will find it. Fry1989 (talk) 18:52, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is an excerpt from the Law for the State Seal and National Flag of the Republic of Bulgaria, published on the site of the Bulgarian Parliament:

Art. 16. (1) The national flag of the Republic of Bulgaria shall be constantly hoisted on:
1. the buildings in which the National Assembly, the Presidency, the ministries and the other state establishments, the regional structures of the ministries and the district administrations, the Constitutional court, the judicial power bodies, the National Bank of Bulgaria, the Bulgarian National TV, the Bulgarian National Radio carry out their basic activities, on the buildings of the municipalities, regions and mayoralties, as well as on the state and municipal schools;
2. the entry and exist border and customs check-points;
3. ports, railway stations and airports;
(2) (Amend., SG 69/99) The national flag of the Republic of Bulgaria shall be temporarily hoisted on the buildings where sessions of the National Assembly or sittings of the municipal councils, international conference or sittings, all-national or international sports and other events of national significance are held throughout their duration.
Art. 17. The national flag of the Republic of Bulgaria shall be placed in the front part to the right of the transport vehicles and on the front mast of the navigation vessels when present there are the president of the Republic, the vice-president, the chairman of the National Assembly or the prime minister.

As far as I know, in Bulgaria there are no separate standards for different central institutions. Bulgarian Herald (talk) 19:07, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. However, as mentioned, it may just be a rank flag in the Bulgarian Military. The again, there is the Presidential Standard of Bulgaria, so that is one example of indeed a separate standard for different institutions. I'm not trying to argue against you that the flag may not exist, but we have to find out, and that will take some time. Contacting both the Bulgarian Government, and the Bulgarian Military, are two ways of doing that. Fry1989 (talk) 19:12, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that such standard of the Bulgarian President exists. Note that the law prescribes the usage of the national flag also by the Bulgarian Presidential institution. Bulgarian Herald (talk) 19:19, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I will contact the Presidency as well and find out, they have a contact section on the Office's website. Fry1989 (talk) 19:29, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What the law is getting at where the flag is displayed at the offices of the President; my country has a separate flag for the President but it is not used anywhere except for ceremonial purposes. Some other places like Russia or Belarus do require the presidential flag flown on the building when he is there. Now if you can tell me the Bulgarian word for standard, I can try and see what could be found. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 22:48, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The word in Bulgarian is "щандарт", but also the word for usual flag "знаме" is possible. You could see some results in Google here, here, here and here. There are no results, connected with the hypothetical existence of the Bulgarian presidential standard. Best regards, Bulgarian Herald (talk) 08:46, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

""I swear I saw a pic long ago of the presidential standard, but I can't find it anymore. I know that doesn't count as a "source", but I'm sure of it. We will have to keep hunting. Fry1989 (talk) 06:56, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please, don't hunt too long. Bulgarian Herald (talk) 08:46, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dallas County, Texas

Dallas County has its own seal, very similar with all the other Texas seals: http://dcsearch.dallascounty.org/search?q=marriage%20records&btnG=Search&site=All&client=dallas_frontend&proxystylesheet=dallas_frontend&output=xml_no_dtd --Glasshouse (talk) 21:44, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I may get to requesting the Texas County seals in the future (as they're all PD for the most part, since they use the State coat of arms), but for now, I got about 100 Governors, Secretaries, Treasuries, and Supreme Court seals for all the 50 states to request. Fry1989 (talk) 17:13, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

Sorry for ignoring you for so long. I've been very busy (again) but I'm doing some more vector work now. Which seals do you still need, if any? How are things with you? NikNaks talk - gallery - wikipedia 11:05, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, glad to have you back :) We just need Connecticut and Utah's Governor seals on that request done. I'm going on vacation for 3 weeks on Saturday, but I'll be putting up several new requests for while I'm away, but I'm just waiting for Con and Utah to be done. Fry1989 (talk) 17:11, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not happy with the text, but how's that?  :) NikNaks talk - gallery - wikipedia 15:30, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
They're great, thank you, tough I might tweak the colours of Connecticut's.Fry1989 (talk) 18:19, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think that'd be best. I couldn't extract anything that looked particularly good, so I went for the existing ones as a backup, but it should indeed be paler. NikNaks talk - gallery - wikipedia 19:47, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, what I did was go to the Governor's website, right-click on the seal, click "open image", then copy and paste it into Inkscape and then directly copy the colour onto the SVG seal. It usually works, unless the website has images disabled from copying. Anyhow, I put up two new requests in the Graphic Lab. If you wanna take a punch at them while I'm on vacation, that'd be great. I might put up a third, but I think 2 requests is good for now. Fry1989 (talk) 21:06, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Righty ho. I'll see what I can do.  :) NikNaks talk - gallery - wikipedia 21:10, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You know what, Im gonna put down one more request, but it's gonna be an easy one. I'll be away for a long time, haha. Fry1989 (talk) 23:54, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Flags of the Texas Navy

I know you're on vacation, but this can certainly wait. I've created svg images of the signal flags used by the Texas Navy including those identifying the Texas Navy ships Austin, Archer, Zavala, Wharton, San Jacinto, San Antonio and San Bernard. I'd like to have a subcategory set up under Historical Flags of Texas to place these, and will try to do that while you're gone. I'd also like to find a spot on the right side of the Wikipedia page under the picture of the ship to place the flags as well, such as for the Austin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texan_sloop-of-war_Austin.

And this brings me to another point. The flag being used to represent the Texas Navy on these pages is incorrect. Image Texas 2nd Naval Ensign.svg is tagged as the second naval ensign of the Republic of Texas used from 1838 to 1846. However, the last two sentences of this article from the official website of the Texas Navy Association http://www.texasnavy.com/A%20History%20of%20the%20Texas%20Navy%20Flag.pdf states that that version was only created in the past several years and ONLY for ceremonial purposes. It might be necessary to propose re-naming that image. The Wikipedia website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Navy correctly identifies the two flags used during the tenure of the Texas Navy, so there are lots of corrections that need to be done. Can you advise as to how to proceed?

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy your time off.--Glasshouse (talk) 14:17, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I know you're still getting settled in from being away, but I'm wondering what your thoughts are regarding the Texas Navy flags. Thanks! --Glasshouse (talk) 11:12, 26 August 2011 (UTC) 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will get to it shortly. Fry1989 eh? 20:48, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I see what's going on. I'll have to do a little bit more research, but otherwise, it looks like a rename will be in order and some reorganization of the Texan flags. Fry1989 eh? 01:18, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Thanks again.--Glasshouse (talk) 00:16, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]


I finally got around to creating the sub-category in "Historical Texas Flags" for the Flags of the Texas Navy. I’m afraid I need your help in renaming a couple, though. I’d like to rename the following:

Flag 2 rename to "2 Flag"

Flag 3 rename to "3 Flag"

Flag 4 rename to "4 Flag"

I think it will be better to use this naming format because the flags actually represent the numbers “2,” “3” and “4” for signaling purposes, and nomenclature such as “Flag 2” sounds like a generic name for any kind of flag in a sequence. The changes would conform to the other signal flag names as well.

Finally, is there a strategy yet for correcting the image of the Texas Navy flag on the Wikipedia pages as mentioned above?

As always, I appreciate your help.--Glasshouse (talk) 01:24, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Crap! I've screwed up another upload. Chief Engineer Lever Beam.svg should be named "Texas Navy Chief Engineer Insignia" to conform with the other items in the Emblems of the Texas Navy. Also, I had trouble with fonts not showing up again, and a couple of the guys from Village Pump tested a couple of uploads that didn't get deleted. Could you delete Texas Navy Sword Guard courier test.svg and Texas Navy Sword Guard Liberation Serif bold 13 test.svg?

Thanks again. I'm sorry to keep bugging you, and if I need to be going to another source, please let me know.--Glasshouse (talk) 00:26, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have the ability to rename files. I've asked for the right, but I have a stubborn admin who has objected, so I doubt if I will get it this round. Though I guess I will ask for it again in a few months. So until then, you will still have to put a rename tag on your files if you uploaded them with the wrong name. Sorry. Fry1989 eh? 01:01, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I understand completely, and I'll go through the proper channels to get the changes made. Also, though, when you get a chance, there's still the issue of the incorrect flags being depicted for the Texas Navy. Is there a solution to that?--Glasshouse (talk) 01:43, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GL archive

Hey Fry1989, welcome back. I noticed you archived some of the stale requests at the illustration workshop. Only resolved requests with {{resolved}} are archived, and stale requests can be left out for a few months since the workshop rarely gets backlogged. At the end of the year, stale requests can be archived like it was in 2010. Cheers, --ZooFari 17:12, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I see. Alrighty. I had a great time, hope you did on your vacation too. BTW, I have two requests in there, NikNaks93 has taken a couple of the seals, but appears to be occupied. If you'd like to take a jab at the ones he hasn't taken yet, that would be great. The two that I think could especially use your expertise are the House and Senate seals of Alabama, they're the most tricky I would say. Fry1989 eh? 19:12, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure, that roundel bordiure should be white ??? Look at the legislature (law act) – the bordiure is clearly grey... Mboro (talk) 00:46, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was pretty sure, based on how flags are actually made. But if that's how the diagram shows it, go ahead and revert. Fry1989 eh? 00:51, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, actually it's hard to say. This flag has been flown yesterday (Polish Air Force Day ceremony) for the first time ever. Unlikely, the photos I found, are not very clear (photo); so I abstain the revert. Excuse me for disturbing :o) Best regards. Mboro (talk) 01:06, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So it's a brand new flag then. Interesting. Fry1989 eh? 01:08, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Adopted on 20 June 2011 (plus 14 days of vacatio legis). Yesterday the Minister of National Defence presented this flag to the Air Force Commander-in-Chief and the flag was raised (click1; click2). The Polish Air Force Day (actually Polish Aviation Day; 28 August) is celebrated to commemorate the victory of Franciszek Żwirko and Stanisław Wigura at Challenge 1932. Cheers.

Hi there

Thanks for the advice. I will look requests , but currently I'm working on flags and coats of arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.--Nanin7 (talk) 21:56, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nazi flags

Very well I will stop replacing them. A rename should be done. The first Nazi flag should say "1933-1937" in its file name and the second "1937-1945" in its file name.--R-41 (talk) 00:05, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The name has been changed of the flag. But the date shown for its beginning is 1935, not 1937 - the date the flag legislation I've found said it was passed.--R-41 (talk) 03:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

hi there,

done! I understand your concern, but please understand that when I nominate files for rename or re-categorize them, it is for good reason and I tend to base my moves on what is written in the Wikipedia articles (if there is a proper and official source). So it was not to be difficult or arbitrary, but to be as correct and truthful to the matter as possible. There are so many files and categories of seals and emblems that I am noticing are wrongly named or categorised, therefore I created for example Category:National Emblem of France. One of the many problems still out there are File:Coat of arms of Laos.svg and Category:Coats of arms of Laos, the list just goes on and on. But if it will help ease your comfort, I shall consult with you about moves pertaining this specific area. I hope that is acceptable to you? Gryffindor (talk) 00:02, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I received a document specifying the specific Pantone colors of the Ukrainian flag. The blue is supposed to be lighter than what we have used in the past. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 21:25, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I wish we could recreate the colours seen in File:Flag of Ukraine.jpg, but as I know, translating from a photo to an SVG is rather difficult. Fry1989 eh? 21:30, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And that was done in 3D. The document I have is called "ДСТУ 4512:2006 - Державний прапор України. Загальні технічні умови - вперше." and it is from 2006. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 21:42, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proszę przestań! To co dodajesz jako wersję wektorową godła II Rzeczypospolitej jest godłem obowiązującym od 1990 r. z dodaniem bordiury. Te orły nie są identyczne, kształt i kolor tarczy również. Porównaj: Dz. U. z 1927 r. Nr 115, poz. 980 i Dz. U. z 1990 r. Nr 10, poz. 60. To jest czysty OR. Poznaniak (dyskusja) 11:30, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is a valid VVA. We have the same issue with the current coat of arms of Poland. We've had hundreds of Poles complaining that the SVG version doesn't accurately refect all the details of the non-SVG. However, it was decided by th ecommunity to maintain the VVA tag. What people get all pissy about isn't my problem, the VVA suggests to use the SVG, it doesn't make it manditory. Fry1989 eh? 17:59, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Where had ecommunity decided that this SVG file was accurately? I'm the part of e-community saying that SVG is good and I've found many files that are now vectorized and used. You cannot treat people in this way. A fact that I'm a Pole isn't an argument. Maybe some those wikipedians have arguments to not use VVA template in some cases. The file that you're adding have a lots of bugs to the original and it can't be suggested to use by users. I had asked You for not changing the page, but you changed it. Because You don't want to discuss and listen – page will be restored. Please do not do wheel war. JDavid (talk) 20:16, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not using your being Polish as an argument. I am saying that on both Wikipedia English, and here on Commons, we have had Polish users get all upset whenever a VVA tag is added to any Polish coat of arms, because in their opinion, the vector versions don't accurately reflect all the shadows and gradients on the non-SVG files. Some Polish users have even gone so far as to edit war, trying to force us to use the non-SVG file because they like it more. Every time, they have been over-ruled, and we continue to use the SVG of the Polish Coat of Arms on it's Wikipedia English article and templates. and have the VVA tag on File:Coat of arms of Poland.png, which is the most commonly purported "accurate version" by Polish users. There is no reason why a VVA tag shouldn't be on the Arms of the Second Republic as well. All it says is that there is a vector rendition of that coat of arms available. It doesn't say you have to use it, or that it is manditory to replace it with the SVG. Fry1989 eh? 20:24, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, What's wrong with my version?! It was correct; The Army of Egypt uses this flag. See Flag of Egypt.svg.--Mohamed ElGedawy Talk 12:12, 11 October 2011 (UTC) [reply]

No they don't. They use a version with the shield of the eagle in the colours of the flag. Also, the swords need to show a difference. Fry1989 eh? 19:05, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request

I made a request of you; why did you just delete it from your page rather than at least responding to it? Magog the Ogre (talk) 18:29, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
