Hello. I didn't want to upload duplicates. But it seems like we will end up with it. Any suggestions? P.S. I do appreciate your work a lot. It even inspired me to do some drawings myself :) Sincerely, --Kwasura (talk) 23:21, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
- Cheers, sorry if I came across as a bit abrupt, text only communication can be a minefield... The references I have show an equilateral triangle as the WW2 patch and the isosceles as the post war one, but I haven't seen any photos of the post war one. Where did you get the reference for the 4th Armoured Brigade from? it seems a bit 'stylised' compared to the actual examples, eg the one in the post war section below it. Speaking of style, when I do a patch with a white background or border (or even that is just a white shape) I put a thin black line around it (40th Division (deception) as an example). Keep up the good work! Usedtoknowthat (talk) 23:38, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:162nd Independemt Infantry Brigade (TA) PW.svg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |

Hello and thank you for your contribution! I have noticed that some of your uploaded files do not correspond to this chart or to Howard Cole's book. Would you like to discuss the corrections? Sincerely, --Kwasura (talk) 17:26, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
- You shouldn't take Cole as holy writ! Both Cole and that chart are hand drawn versions of real patches, and therefore interpretations. Where-ever I can, I use real patches in my collection (450+ and growing!) as a basis for tracing over in the svg package. Or I use photos of patches I don't have and are convinced are real and not copies (there's some one making horrible... let's be generous and call them "copies" of patches and selling them on e-bay, so you have to be careful). Sometimes however only a hand drawings exist, for example for the deception divisions that didn't have any one play acting them in theatre.
- In short there can be an apparent difference between the real patch and the drawing in Cole, so I always use the patch as a guide.Usedtoknowthat (talk) 19:58, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
- Should have said, I use Cole as the reference authority to say that the design is the one for a lot of the WW2 formations, its convenient and its based on a book first published by him just after the war.Usedtoknowthat (talk) 20:08, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
I understand, and do the same. But I am talking about different things now. For example, you attributed this badge to the 21st Armoured Brigade. But to my knowledge it is in fact the badge of the 16th Armoured Brigade. Could you tell me you source of information? Sincerely, --Kwasura (talk) 20:24, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
- OK. That is a genuine mistake by Cole. Cole calls it the 16th Armoured Brigade, which never had units assigned to it, and the patch he shows is an early 25th Tank Brigade patch according to Boulanger. This is also stated in a patches website.Usedtoknowthat (talk) 21:22, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
- Kwasura Regarding 10th Armoured division. The version you 'corrected' is no longer the patch described. It is not the one in my collection and is not the 'wide' variant. If you have another variant then load it as another variant and describe it as such. BTW what's with the fuzzy borders?Usedtoknowthat (talk)
- Hi! Sorry, I was away. Can you show me the 10th ArmDiv from your collection? --Kwasura (talk) 17:57, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
- I uploaded a jpeg of it to the 10th armoured div page you created, the original svg was 'traced' off it, amended for wear and tear. I republished your version as a new svg. Usedtoknowthat (talk) 16:51, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
