Request

Goran tek-en as we discussed, it could be helpful to take the images you already have for superionic ice and to make an animation that would show the process by which it becomes conductive in an electric field (which is the most remarkable feature of superionic ice). Here's a proposal for what the frames could be:

  1. H+ ions are randomly ordered and randomly oriented
  2. Charged plates appear, indicating that an electric field is applied
  3. H+ ions rotate in place to orient with this field
  4. H+ ions start moving from + to -
  5. More frames of them moving

I think this animation is great: in the beginning you can see them bouncing randomly around the lattice, and as soon as the switch is flipped, they all start moving in one direction, still bouncing off the lattice atoms as they encounter them.

Those are just a few thoughts to start off with, but let's brainstorm some more.

Extended content

I don't know how much you know about different file formats and especially svg - gif. For svg and animation that includes coding at a level I don't have, and with so many objects we will have it would be complicated, compared to the one you linked to.
The more common way to do an animation is by working with a bitmap format, gif, like this. If you compare gif with svg there are big differences, a svg file can be enlarged and will always be sharp. A gif can't be enlarged without being unsharp, like any bitmap, photo taken by a camera. It can also only hold 255 different colors as a svg indefinitely numbers of colors more or less. So if you want me to help you I will have to work in gif.
To start with we have to decide how large the animation should be, the ones we finished are 1202 × 1074 px. The bigger a gif is in px the heavier it will be so we have to test that also. If there is a big difference between the original size (100%) and the thumbnail it can be hard to understand the thumbnail. I think we can make it a bit smaller maybe 800 in stead of 1074? If you think all of this is fine and you want me to continue I can make a test in that size and we can take it from there? --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:44, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Goran tek-en that all sounds good to me—yes let's make a test and see how it looks. --Rob Hurt (talk) 00:51, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rob Hurt First draft to show size and principal, feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:02, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Goran tek-en this looks great, and for the size, you're just talking about the number of pixels, but you're planning to use the full lattice, right? --Rob Hurt (talk) 00:34, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rob Hurt Yes, full lattice. I have realized that I probably have to work from the last frames where H+ are structured and ordered and then backwards against randomly. So what I need to know if the last frames will be like file:Superionic ice conducting.svg but moving or should H+ be ordered in a even more structured way? --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:50, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Goran tek-en that phenomenon is called en:ballistic conduction, and while it can happen in some special materials, I don’t think it would happen in this one (though maybe we could make an image or animation for that after this one). As a side note, I noticed that what we have now is actually a primitive cubic, not a face-centered cubic (en: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system#Bravais_lattices)—would it be easy to add atoms in the centers of each face, or would that be too much work? If it’s too much, that’s ok. --Rob Hurt (talk) 16:57, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rob Hurt I don't understand at all. Please don't give me information I don't need right now, it is confusing for me as it is not my subject of knowledge. Stick to what we do right now, the rest we take later on.
Goran tek-en sure, hopefully this will clarify:
1. Regarding what the final slides will look like, I think this animation is quite accurate. You'll see that even though they're all moving in one direction, there's no point at which they're lined up like in file:Superionic ice conducting.svg because they're constantly colliding with the lattice atoms. It's a convenient simplification for the image to show that they're all lined up nicely, and while it gets across the main point that they travel with the field, that's not how it would actually happen.
2. Regarding the lattice geometry, yes, for it to be technically correct we would need to add those atoms (one in each face of each unit cell), and for each O2- we would need to add two H+. In real life it would be that crowded. This would apply to the images and the animation. However, in my opinion, if we have to choose between the image/animation being completely scientifically accurate but hard to understand or being easy to understand but having scientific flaws, I think the latter would be better. Of course, if it could be accurate and easy to understand, that would be ideal. This is a judgement call, and I wanted to bring it up to get your opinion too, because perhaps you have ideas about how to find a good compromise. What I think I would do would be to add the O2- atoms but not the H+, and to make the O2- and the bonds between them more transparent. But I also want to hear what you think would be best. —Rob Hurt (talk) 04:50, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rob Hurt If we add all the stuff as it should be, then adding the H+ movement (takes several 'images' to achieve even a small move) it will be really complex. My computer and my software might not really like it, I think there are special software to achieve advanced animations like this and I don't have it. Also my brain has it's limitations as we are talking about (please check and correct if the numbers are wrong) 63 of O2- and 126 H+ and the H+ will exist in probably 10-14 different positions to achieve the animation. It's so easy to get lost there somewhere.
But now I am a person who likes to fulfill assignments/challenges and often not having the most advanced tools but still getting a god result.
So if you have the time (will take some time for me, have to redo stuff in another way, not so demanding for the computer) I would like to start with doing one part of the lattice as a test so we can get an idea of what it would look like. If the final result turns out well we can add this to the previous images, I'm using the same 'base image'. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:45, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Goran tek-en That all sounds good. I think we should do the animation with 63 O2- and any number of H+ that you want—as long as we have the motion correct, that’s the most important point. —2600:1700:5D80:7F60:B851:FC14:72C8:10D3 04:29, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rob Hurt As we don't show all sides around the O atoms (not outside the lattice) we should not have O*2 for the H. We have two 'corridors' left-right but have three 'walls' of O. We show all the H in the 'corridors' but we only show the H which are on the inside of the 'corridors'. This is the the same for front-back.
So although we have
63 O
we should only show
72 H
because there is 9 O which should show 2*H for. It took me a while to think about this, but I'm not 100% sure, you tell me.
For this test I only show 1/8 and the random part so imagen 8 times that, I think it will be enough and I don't think I can handle any more really, test image. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:33, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Goran tek-en Lattice and movement look good, and it’s up to you if you want to change the transparency of the lattice atoms or bonds to make the H+ easier to see. And yes, technically there would only be 64 H+ based on the number of atoms that are shown, meaning 8 per unit cell. It looks like you currently have 9 in the unit cell you animated, so it might actually be manageable. —2600:1700:5D80:7F60:7:8255:B14F:3580 03:26, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rob Hurt I tried transparency but it got really hard to understand as you see all which is behind also. It might take some time now because I have other stuff also going on. --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:04, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rob Hurt So I'm working on this again.
  • As I understand the bindings are not really any physical binding, it's more of attraction forces?
  • If above is correct then the H+ must be able to pass thru a binding with out any thing stopping it? --Goran tek-en (talk) 09:40, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rob Hurt Now I have added all the O2- and I show you two different drafts with different transparecy for the bindings. Give answers per above and feedback on the bindings drafts, thanks.
Goran tek-en yes I think it's safe to assume that the scattering is mostly off the atoms, not the bonds. For the transparency, I think something in the middle would be good, maybe 30%. Did transparency for the atoms work too? Rob Hurt (talk) 00:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rob Hurt Here are two drafts with and without transparency on the atoms. To me it gets really confusing when there is transparency on the atoms also.
  • no transparency
  • 50% transparency
  • Here is a draft with the random part as animation. I removed the looping for this so you have to reload it to view it again. I don't really know what I think of this. there is a lot going on but I don't understand what I see although I know what it is. Should the collisions be more visible, will it be better when the next two stages are added or what? I really need your thinking on this.--Goran tek-en (talk) 17:56, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Goran tek-en I actually think the animation looks good. I agree that it's hard to track each H+ because there are so many, but the important part is that it shows random motion. The most important point is that when the plates appear the motion switches from random to directional, and I'm hoping that when you add in that part, it will be clear. Is it possible to add some more frames for the random motion before making the plates appear? It just goes pretty quickly when watching it. -Rob Hurt (talk) 21:07, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Rob Hurt So good to hear because I'm so deep in to the motion of each H+ it's hard for me to see the bigger over all picture.
  • This has 10 frames and each is 250 ms. Shorter time on each gives a smoother appearance but of course shorter total length. Yeas I can add more frames, it's all a matter of how much work I put in to it and the final animation gets heavier. This draft is about 1.8 Mb and if we add more frames in the random part and then we have the other two stages so the total might be up to 7-8 Mb. It's not really a problem in it self but for some people on slow connections it might be, but that is always a judgement one has to make. I will add five more frames and we can look at that.
  • I'm thinking on making the collisions more visible by making the splash symbols I use bigger. They are almost not visible as they pass by so fast. --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:27, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rob Hurt Draft random 2. 15 frames each 300 ms. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:01, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Goran tek-en looks great, and regarding the size issue, perhaps we could upload a full resolution version and a compressed version? —Rob Hurt (talk) 18:58, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rob Hurt So we are now at list number 2 and 3.

  • I understand charged plates appear.
  • What do you mean by H+ ions rotate in place to orient with this field. Rotate how?
  • List number 4. I must continue from where the H+ left of in its random face. So if a H+ was travelling from right to left and the electric field appears. Do this H+ make a soft turn slowly change its direction towards left to right (like a curved movement trowing a ball up)? Or is it a sudden break and then moving left to right? --Goran tek-en (talk) 21:36, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Goran tek-en I think we should model it after this, and you can pay particular attention to when the light get turned on, which is equivalent to when the plates appear. The rate at which they change direction will be proportional to the rate at which the plates appear. So if they appear gradually the H+ ions will change direction gradually, and if they appear suddenly, the H+ ions will change direction quickly. --Rob Hurt (talk) 01:32, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'd like to use the SVG version of the flag within the article, however, it is missing a key element and is inferior to the JPG. I need eight white five-pointed stars on both sides of the blue part of the shield. I would also like the black borders removed of the design within the circle.

@Jordano53: Hello! Do you have any offical source that we can use? Sette-quattro (talk) 14:47, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Sette-quattro: Yes. This is the Columbus municipal code, sections 105.02 and 105.021 are relevant here. Jordano53 (talk) 22:44, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Jordano53: Hello! Concerning the "key element eight five-pointed stars" they do not exist on Coat of arms of the United States or on the chief (upper band) of the national shield of the USA. The American Heraldry Society quotes the Department of State blazon as “The ARMS. Paleways of thirteen pieces argent and gules; a chief, azure.” No stars. Why do you want the stars? -- MaxxL - talk 13:23, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MaxxL: I wonder if that is a mess up on the part of the city. This image clearly shows stars and this engraved seal at the city hall also shows the stars. It's a great observation, and now I have to go down the rabbit hole again and see if I can find why these stars were added. Jordano53 (talk) 14:46, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Jordano53: Hello! In heraldry the only relevant, factual information is the blazon - the written description of the shield. All pictures you will find are just an artist interpretation of the blazon which may vary widely. Every flag manufacturer or communication agency has its own preferred artist and layout. The longer or intensively you search the more versions you will find. -- MaxxL - talk 14:55, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MaxxL: The 13 stars in this National Shield seem to originate from the 1912 flag decided by city council. The American Heraldry Society blazons the 13 stars within the CREST above the ARMS, not in the azure field of the SHIELD. Couldn't find dictation to explain when the changes were decided, but I'd reason it was a stylistic choice. 17 stars representing admission into the union, and 13 stars for the colonies becomes too cluttered when the usage is in a small format (think letterheads, print documents etc.) Looks great on that wood carving though! --Suzy K Wells (talk) 04:33, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

고려 For us graphic workers without any knowledge of this subject it's impossible to understand what you want changed, really. You would have to be more explicit for us to understand and then consider to take this request. Please always think that we have zero knowledge of the subject which probably is your specialty. --Goran tek-en (talk) 12:32, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There's a design on page 5, so you can draw it as it is. I don't understand what kind of explanation I need.--고려 (talk) 12:41, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
고려 There is an outline flag (just black lines on brown) on that page so it doesn't tell me anything about color or else. So to me I don't understand what you want changed. But if you don't understand let someone else work on this, otherwise always ping me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 20:24, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To even consider this request there has to be a requester, no one has signed this request. There will be questions, drafts to be checked, etc so someone has to be able to provide this. It's a major request so to have this backup is very important. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:31, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

RaboKarbakian Thanks for signing and contacting me. This is a major request that will be active for a longer time. I consider on taking it but first I want to make sure that you will be here and support me all the way.
  • You will have to make sure that the illustrations in the book (or the book) has a license that allows us to use it as a source and draw from it.
  • It is a 1907 publication. Q60813752 claims it to be in the public domain and it passed the permission hoops at en.wikisource. Each jpeg should also contain the appropriate permissions.
  • We would have to make a template of how they should look, be drawn and the infobox for each. So once we start you will have to find an illustration that has as many objects as possible in it, text, stars, lines etc. We will do that first and use it as a template. I will need your knowledge and information thru out this whole process. --Goran tek-en (talk) 10:40, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • With the best grasp I have of my future, my own personal computer is in need of some special hardware and will not be up until sometime in January. More than that, my experience with graphics is with pixels and not so much with the vectors. It is one of the reasons I came here as I have seen some beautiful work come from here throughout the years. Perhaps there is someone that would be better at creating this template than me. I would like to replace the jpegs being used in the book at wikisource with svg. I think the svg would be useful in more places also as they are simple maps of the night skies of the northern hemisphere....--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:05, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
RaboKarbakian Sorry for being unclear. I would do the graphic work, of course I will make the template also. I was just trying to explain how I see the process of this major request.
  • It seems as you put some of your answers into my previous comment, that is not a good idea as I can't see which is which easily.
  • Please always ping me as watch doesn't work all the time.
  • Regarding permission I don't understand your links. Also wikipedia and commons has not exactly the same rules regarding this. At each of the 53 files it is stated that they are in the public domain in the United States, but the rest of the world?
  • Is it the 53 files in this category you want to be made in svg? --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:41, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Goran tek-en Sorry for adding comments after the section, it is how things were done elsewhere on the commons 10+ years ago, and I am so glad not to be responsible for the template!! And it is all of the images found in the category, with the exception of the title pages and that original. So, 50 images total.
  • The author is from the United States and the book was published in the United States as well Q8019602. That link to wikidata is to the author. The time I had a problem with this, the author was from England and the book was published there also and the images were deleted and I assumed that the book would not be allowed and did not even try. That the images remain and the book is being hosted by wikisource, my experience is such that everything is okay with it.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:02, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
RaboKarbakian It is very different to use an image as a source and 'copy' it, make a derivative work from it. I will not risk doing a lot of work and then see it all deleted so in some way you will have to show me that we are allowed to do this.
  • Goran tek-en I don't really understand. This was an internet archive find, and while their rules are less than ours, they would not host them without extending the permission for them to be used. Indeed, they have several tomes which are available only for "check out", largely due to copyright issues. This is not one of them. Other scans of this book have been uploaded from libraries in Canada and California.
  • The commons has very rigorous licensing restrictions, as I said, another project was deleted due to the location of publication. Wikisource was/is full of old wikipedians, those who first researched and established the criterion and is in many ways, as rigorous with its restrictions as the commons. See the Berne Convention and the this for Sweden (which states that Sweden was a member of the Berne Convention since before this book was published) for your own personal protection. --RaboKarbakian (talk) 16:54, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
RaboKarbakian The book can be found here as well and I have tried to read about license and permission. As always it's a lot of bla bla bla, but it seems as it should be free.
Can you pick one illustration which has most in it so we can use that as a template. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:52, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Goran tek-en Thank you!!
  • I found four, perhaps you could choose the best from them? They are something like cardinal dates, with an sketch of the whole sky, I would pick spring because the lossiness of jpeg is not so much a problem and the thumbnail looks clearer here....

licensing: gutenberg vs commons (posted here at artists request) I mentioned a book whose images I uploaded here that were deleted. I was doing the images for a gutenberg project. As gutenberg is managed by people from the United States, all of the books there qualify under the US Public Domain rules. But this book was published in the United Kingdom and the illustrator was alive well into the 1900s and as such is not in the public domain in the United Kingdom. The book was published there, but the images were deleted here. Ye Sundial Book at gutenberg and here, you can see mention of the deletion log Category:Ye Sundial Booke and here, on my talk page where my work was deleted due to the United Kingdom public domain rules (which involve the death of the illustrator who died in 1985).

Commons is far more rigorous for licensing than any other site I know, uploads are 'trolled' by software and people, as they are managing a whole world of content. Also, if you learn what old stuff can be here and why, you will learn the most. At least, that has been my experience.

  • spring (a jpeg)
    spring (a jpeg)

Further, I am responsible for the jpegs in that category because I was making them for the gutenberg post-processor, image size, and the limited ROM of my e-reader; while others are responsible for the png because they were making them for here, where the guidelines are to make diagrams as png due to file type clarity (or lack of lossiness). SVG will be the best, however!-- RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:03, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Request taken by Goran tek-en (talk) 17:52, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

RaboKarbakian As it is always a problem between the illustration in 100% and the thumbnail I will ask you if you know how big thumbnails you will use in the articles?
An illustration can work well in 100% (eg 800 px wide) and that is really the only thing I can control but then, very often, the requester use a thumbnail of eg 150 px wide and then 'complain' that the illustration is not visible. So that is what I'm trying to avoid by asking you this, always ping me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:57, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Goran tek-en I used a simple formula for determining the size displayed at wikisource, making the image as close to the printed size as possible: width/300px * 72 (all based on ppi, pixels per inch, then perhaps, tweaked further for conditions at wikisource). The larger they are, the more uses they have, but if SVG is not so good at scaling down, then not so useful. Perhaps if you could make them fit more modern screens, using width/300px * 98? So, File:April 01-40N-2100-Fieldbook of Stars-025.jpg would be (2272px/300ppi) * 98ppi = 742px wide and 814px wide? Then the SVG would be scaled to 530px wide at wikisource. You know better than me if this is reasonable both in my expectations and the scalability of the file.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:15, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
RaboKarbakian Thanks for that. Svg files are different from bitmapp images as they are xml based and it's all about code. It is always sharp in any size but then of course if you show a svg file at 10%, of course it will be difficult to see. The thumbnails used in wikimedia is a png image created from the svg file in the size needed. So what I only need is the width in px of the thumbnail you think you will use. Or you can link me to a place where I can see one which you think is relevant, thanks.
The Inkscape I use works with screen resolution of 98 ppi and when you talk about bitmapps transferred (eg printed) to a physical material (eg paper, plastic...) you have to consider how many dpi (dots per inch) is needed to obtain a sharp image. --Goran tek-en (talk) 09:42, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Goran tek-en Perhaps it is easier then for you to make the SVG the same size as the original jpeg or png? That would not involve math or 'good judgement' (making a thumbnail size for a request like this is probably not the best judgment). You know how to click on the thumbnail to get to the file page and then from there to find the original size? I apologize, as I am used to a certain eh, culture here (with the pixel and photograph people) where the best and the largest is always encouraged.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:04, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
RaboKarbakian Now I have done parst of the Spring image and you have to check and think after what will work for you.
  • Draft (not complete) and the colors are chosen so they work well for most people with color vision issues.
  • This is an image 250 px wide to try to show you what a thumbnail in that size will look like. You have to check your thumbnail size because I want to know that it will work for redoing later on is not something I will do. If it's hard for you to try we might be forced to upload an image so you can try a real file.
  • Many of the names are rotated which makes them hard to read but I understand they try to mimic the sky in some way. But I think it would be better to try to keep the names horizontally.
  • Check this and give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:22, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sport record icons

Article(s): en:Diamond League; de:Diamond League

Request
Please create these icons which would improve athletics record lists and also athletes' bios and club pages. Example how they should look like: Sport records icon WR in this category https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Sport_records_icons --194.8.192.162 09:52, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
I created two of the requested icons but need more information for the rest. For the Diamond League icon, I wasn't sure what you would prefer so I created two versions using the logo gradient and the darker blue in the logo. Use the one you prefer and we can delete the unused one. For the following requested icons it looks like there is an existing version already:
 * National record under 20- Sport record N20

 * European record under 20 - Sport record EU20

 * European record under 23 - Sport record EU20

 * North American record under 20 - Sport record NA20. Likewise for Africa Sport record AF20, South America Sport record SA20, Asia Sport record AS20, and Oceania Sport record OC20.

For the World, European, and National under 18 Best Performance, what should be in the text? WB18, EB18, NB18 or something else? Let me know so I can create anything else you need.

Graphist opinion(s)
@ShakespeareFan00, can you be more specific about what’s wrong with the size or proportions? Is it just the nominal pixel dimensions? Yes, with SVGs scaling is usually very easy—it says so right on the tin! But one needs to know what one’s trying to achieve.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 04:41, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is indeed the nominal pixel dimensions, I had drawn these at actual size, whereas the ones from the Traffic Signs Database are based on how they were sized for print reproduction, which are considerably smaller. I was wanting someone to scale these to be more suited to display on screen and print compared to the existing traffic sign images Commons holds.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:33, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s):

Request
Could somebody please create a svg version of this image? Four comments:
1) I will email a high-resolution image to whomever takes the request
2) In the linked image, both wings have 21 garnets (the black boxes under the wings). Please modify the right wing to have 22 garnets. But please keep the length of the wings the same.
3) Please remove the curved line at the very bottom
4) If it helps to have some context, this is the simplified design from the front of the Sutton Hoo helmet (image).

Graphist opinion(s)
@Usernameunique: Doable, but I don't know if it would be allowed. The original image is under copyright, and uplaoded downscaled following the 'fair use' approach. If we vectorialize it? who is the rights owner? I'm not expert of that so i would suggest you to check this before. Sette-quattro (talk) 14:41, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Sette-quattro. Although the image linked to is from a 1972 article, the underlying design is from the sixth or seventh century, and thus well out of copyright. The 1972 image is extremely faithful to the original—including minor differences in the number of silver wires in the wings (43 vs. 46), and a right wing that is millimeters shorter than the left—so I don’t think it has much claim to copyright protection of its own. Let me know if you think anything else is needed. Thanks, —Usernameunique (talk) 15:13, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Usernameunique: , I think the descriptiona and the categories should be refined. Sette-quattro (talk) 16:33, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That looks really great, thanks Sette-quattro. Would you mind also making the two slight alterations listed above (#2 and #3)? —Usernameunique (talk) 17:17, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done @Usernameunique: edited the line and the number of squares. If you think is resolved, please mark the section for automatic archiving Sette-quattro (talk) 14:05, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Sette-quattro. The left side should have 21 squares, however; only the right side should have 22. (For reasons not relevant here, the eyebrows on the Sutton Hoo helmet were slightly different. It's discussed in the last paragraph of Sutton Hoo helmet § Construction, and the second paragraph of Sutton Hoo helmet § Dragon motifs.) And if you have time and feel like it, there are two other very minor edits that could me made. First, there is a stray dot on the far left (in the lip of the left boar's head). Second, there could be slightly less white space separating each of the black squares; there is more space separating the boxes to the right of eyebrow than there is separating the boxes to the left of each eyebrow. The spacing on the left sides is perfect.
In any event, these are minor comments. Thanks again for your work on this. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:22, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sette-quattro, just following up to see if you might be able to make the tweaks described above. Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 16:54, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  1. If the background is "transparent", "white", and according to the document on page 15, "Light colour backgrounds" and depends on the "Image backgrounds", the text colour shall be purple.
  2. If the background is, "purple", and according to the document on page 15, "Corporate colour and corporate colour gradient backgrounds", "Dark colour backgrounds" and depends on the "Image backgrounds", the text colour shall be yellow.
