Ok, I've updated the SVG file with some more coasts and the xmlns tag. The file renders fine on Commons now and seem to work as a 250px thumb as well, so thanks for the tip. I'll be working with Scandinavia now. So if you don't hear from me during a few days, don't think I'm dead, I'm probably just having nightmares about Norway.

I redrew the png as an svg.

According to that license, a GIF version of the vector graphic from that website is allowed on Wikipedia. I think creating an SVG version violates the copyright. Maybe somebody else can look into this as well.↔NMajdan•talk 17:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Can a Coat of Arms of a country be copyrighted? It can always be said that it was based off of any of these images, as it would be true. -Indolences 18:13, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes and no. The idea or blazon behind the image cannot be copyrighted but a particular artist's version of the insignia can be. Wikipedia practice seems to be that as long as it is not a direct duplicate of a copyrighted version, we'll be fine. Valentinian ^{T / C} 23:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay so I should make it look more like this? As it is on the government website I would think it would not be "copyrighted". -Indolences 05:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

This looks like a good version to base a new image on. From a heraldic perspective, I'd say that the idea about claiming copyright for an official coat of arms image or flag is meaningless, since these images are owned and used by nations. The U.S. flag was designed by somebody, but nobody considers this image off-limits to Wikipedia, no matter that the first person to add the 50th star can't have been dead for 70 years. Unfortunately, U.S. laws weren't designed to take this situation into account. The legal situation behind such images is very tricky and I'd be surprised if traditional encyclopedias didn't simply use such images without consulting others first. But if you create your own image inspired by another image, there'll be no problems at all. If anybody is game for it, a new .svg version of the coat of arms of Denmark would also be very welcome. I'm not the biggest fan of the current .svg version and a better one would be much appreciated. Valentinian ^{T / C} 12:27, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: Okay I did this. Not too sure if it looks good or not though.. There was pretty bad jpeg compression so the edges were ambiguous. If you don't like it, feel free to revert. Bitplane 14:38, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

No, it's good. I knew the former image what not really good. But your work is good. I try to launch this Graphic lab, and we will need good photographers and good graphists. We canno't have every think we need in the first month, but the situation is improving ;]

[edit] Transparent compass card

Request: I made Image:Compass Card.png transparent to use it as an overlay on maps, but doing it to the whole image kills readability depending on the background colour. Is there something that could be done to the image, maybe apply transparency to some areas only, or surround dark colours with white or something? Para 20:15, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:

A good solution may be to use a white disk in background, and to merge your compass on this white background disk. Yug (talk) 23:36, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

But if I put a white disk in the background, even a transparent one, then the it will be less transparent generally. Anyway, thanks for the idea! I did something else instead: I copied the whole image on another layer, deleted everything but the text and their backgrounds, and made them just a bit transparent. I think they're pretty readable now and can't think of any more that could be done to make it better. It actually looks horrible here on the wiki, but if you try it with Google Earth using the kml at Commons:Geocoding#Parameters, it's much better. Too bad I can't include a screenshot. --Para 16:46, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Done Pattern in svg-file

I uploaded an svg-map which contains three patterned areas. However when rendered by wikipedia/wikimedia (as png?) those areas don't appear as pattern but uniform colour (mix of the two colours of the pattern I believe). Is there a way to display them correctly, i.e., as pattern? Bamse 05:53, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

It's been solved. When cloning rectangles to create a pattern in inkscape I specified an "initial color" which was different from the rectangle's color. That's what caused the trouble. Strangely enough it looked ok in inkscape. Bamse 07:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Inkscape doesn't allow clones to have different colours from their parents. rsvg (and firefox) do however. /Lokal_Profil 10:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Done Black blobs in SVG

Request: I'd appreciate if somebody could solve the bug in this image. There's a black blob instead of nicely distributed names, as in [1]. I have frequently this bug when editing svg in Inkscape :(. Thanks in advance. PatríciaR ^msg 13:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:

Save as 'simple SVG', not 'Inkscape SVG' and use http://validator.w3.org/. The principle code issues are at the end of the markup.

Here is an empty, valid template:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg 
        version="1.1" 
        xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" 
        xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
        <desc></desc>
</svg>

In general, you're going to want to clean up any SVG from Inkscape either manually/by hand (in a text editor), or at least using some 3rd party cleaning script.

Personally, however, I wouldn't bother to try and improve this image, since the paths seem to be generated from a poor trace (there aren't really any good traces). It would not be difficult to recreate this image with just circles and lines from the center, and of course the text, which is trivial.

¦ Reisio 04:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice! Yes it's really poor tracing, I've tried to figure out whether Inkscape can do it better or not, but I'll lose less time if I just do it from scratch. PatríciaR ^msg 10:24, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I've also struggled black blob syndrome. Fortunately w:en:User:Kjoonlee taught me the way to solve this problem. I copy that way [2] here with little modification.

1. Download svg file & open it by Inkscape
2. Press "F1" key for Selection tool
3. Click on text object (select it)
4. Press "F8" key for text tool.
5. See blue box. The blue box is for flowed text. Inkscape's flowed text is not supported in SVG 1.1 viewers or at Wikipedia/Commons.
6. Press F1 key again.
7. Shift-click on other text-object to select both.
8. Go into ”テキスト"(text) menu. Click on "テキストに変換"(convert into text, or Change to text or so in English)
9. Save

Thanks.--Was a bee 17:30, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DoneFlag of Ireland- Pantone colors to RGB, CMYK and Hex

Article(s):w:Flag of Ireland

Request: Trounce 15:39, 3 July 2007 (UTC) The precise colors of the Irish flag are defined as Pantone 347 and Pantone 151 (and white). Does any body have an objective, accurate and "standardized" way to extrapolate the RGB, Hex and CMYK values from the given Pantone colors? Or maybe wiki commons has a policy on extrapolating colors from Pantone colors? (if not maybe we should!) There is a discussion on the Talk page of the article here.

[edit] Mercedes-Benz 220 -- Needs colour/etc adjustment

Article(s): w:en:Mercedes-Benz W114, w:nl:Europese auto in 1967, w:es:Mercedes-Benz Clase E

Request: The colour balance in this image is all wrong. This was scanned from a photo I took forever ago, and the photo has gotten damaged since then. I had some success by adding a translucent green-colourised layer over the top of it (it balanced out the excessive red), but I couldn't get the contrast right after that, so I left it as it is (but I uploaded a really high-res version of it, in case anyone takes up this offer). Don't worry about touching up the smaller scratches on the photo; that's tedious clone-brush work which I'm willing to do myself. So! I'd be grateful if anyone could do the colour/contrast/etc adjustment for me. Thanks a whole lot. :) Lewis Collard! (natter) 18:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: I tried to fix it up, hopefully it's a bit better now... unfortunately I couldn't fix entirely the section in the middle that was quite different from the rest, and of course the right half which is out of focus a bit was not fixable, but I sharpened it up a tad and tried my best to make that hedge all the same colour ;) Someone else might be able to do a better job, but perhaps this gives you something to work with now. -- Editor at Large • talk 13:20, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I darkened the pavement on the bottom a little and reduced the level of red to make the color seem more realistic. I tried fixing some of the worst blurry spots (the headlamp on the left) but they seem to be beyond repair. Mr.Z-man 02:30, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion: I came up with that. Perhaps I should add the names of the cities? --Ogre 19:03, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

It looks good, but a bit too big heightwise (I must've made a mistake in my calculations) - labelling the cities would be nice too. Sceptre 19:17, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

OK, I have reduced the size and added the names of the cities, as far as I could tell from google maps! :-)

The cities W-E are supposed to be Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Hull :) I'll see if I can fix it in a text editor. Sceptre 21:33, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Done Unknown problem with Gell-Mann picture

Article(s):

Request: Those pictures don't show correctly. -- QWerk 10:23, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:

They seem to show fine for me. One is obviously redundant to the other, however. ¦ Reisio 16:01, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm.. Strange, while ago those pictures didn't work at all on articles. But now it works. --QWerk 17:45, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

A similar problem has been reported to the French village pump. Please, note that down-scalled images are usually not welcome and are candidates for deletion. See this page for an explanation. QWerk, it would be kind of you to ask for its speedy deletion. — Xavier, 18:03, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah. I thought that the problem was on larger pictures size (2 MB). But it wasn't. --QWerk 18:03, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Music map of the United States

• A long time ago, I created a map (see it at Image:USmusicmap.png), a rudimentary attempt at creating something greater, primarily for en:Music of the United States. I think someone who actually had some experience with image-manipulation, even if not map-making specifically, could make a great map. I could provide all the information necessary to make something very detailed (which I know would be less useful for a Wikipedia article, since you'd have to zoom in to see anything, but would still be interesting to look at, and could even make for a dorm room poster) with symbols showing everything from cities with notable blues scenes to the home of acclaimed symphony orchestras. If possible, maps showing a subset of this information could be used for articles like en:Latin music in the United States. Is anybody willing to do the image work if I do the research work?

[edit] Done Merging images into an icon for b:First Aid

Article(s): It will be used as an icon for b:First Aid once it (hopefully) becomes a Featured Book.

Request: I'd like the Globe as the back ground with the star of life over top, and offset (ie opposite of the combo shown). As well, if anyone feels up to re-doing the star of life icon with shiny Nuvola-like flair, feel free to do so, and use that instead (and remake the combo at the right). I'm definitely up for learning how to do this sort of thing myself, so if you get this done, can you let me know what software you used so I can try to mimic your work? Thanks a bunch! – Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 09:16, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Graphist opinion:

• I created the image at the right, I'm not sure if it's what you were looking for. To "Nuvola-flair" the star of life icon I merely added a gradient shape to the top and a shadow behind - it isn't perfect but hopefully it's close enough ;) If someone else comes up with something better feel free to upload over top of my version.
  To Mike.lifeguard - I use the free program Inkscape to do my vector work, though you can use programs like Adobe Illustrator and such to export vector graphics. Feel free to drop me a note on my talk page if you want any more info :) -- Editor at Large • talk 23:25, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

• I thought the idea was that of Image:Globe-Star of life.svg? Haven't put a glare in mine though/Lokal_
