Yes, thank you very much. I already added it to the article nl:Carrouselfraude. I noticed one tiny error though: in step 3, you wrote "betaald ann B". This should be "betaald aan B". Is it possible to change this? And if so, could you also add a full stop after 'rekening' in step 2? Woodcutterty (talk) 20:34, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
I've another idea, I see there are no images in other languages articles. What about more languages? Can you (or someone) help in translation for English (or other). There are some documents which looks very similar.(page 7) ↔ User: Perhelion (Commons: = crap?)11:25, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
Sure, I put together an English translation (note that in Dutch it says 'carrousel' with two r's, in English only one r is used; I used the general term 'taxing authority' instead of a translation of the Dutch 'Belastingdienst'):
Heading: 'Missing trader fraud'
Caption: 'In carousel VAT frauds, a merchant fails to remit VAT to the taxing authority, despite charging his buyers the price of the sold goods plus VAT.'
1. 'Merchant A delivers goods to B in the Netherlands. Because this is a cross-border sale within the EU, he does not charge B any VAT.'
2. 'B sells the goods to C and charges him 21% VAT. He has to remit this to the taxing authority, but fails to do so. He commits fraud.'
3. 'C has payed 21% worth of VAT to B, which he can deduct on his VAT return. C delivers the goods to D, charging VAT.'
4. 'D can sell the goods back to A. Because this is a cross-border sale between two EU member states, D charges 0% VAT.'
'The carousel can start anew ...'
Country names mentioned on the carousel, clockwise: France, Netherlands, Netherlands, France.
Text within the carousel: 'No VAT remittance'; '...VAT is refunded' (the Dutch word 'wel' is a negation for which no good translation exists, as far as I know).
I'm not a native English speaker, so feel free to make any changes necessary. I also tried making a German translation, but I'm sure I made many mistakes. Perhaps you could correct them?
Heading: 'Karussellgeschäft'
Caption: 'Bei Karussellbetrug führt ein Unternehmer die von seinen Abnehmern bezahlte Umsatzsteuer nicht an die Steuerbehörde ab.'
1. 'Unternehmen A liefert Gütern an B in den Niederlanden. Weil es sich um eine grenzüberschreitende Lieferung handelt, stellt er B keine Mehrwertssteuer (MwSt.) in Rechnung.'
2. 'B verkauft die Gütern an C und stellt ihm 21% MwSt. in Rechnung. Er führt die bezahlte Umsatzsteuer aber nicht an die Steuerbehörde ab. Er begeht Betrug.'
3. 'C hat 21% MwSt. an B bezahlt, aber diese wird von der Steuerbehörde erstattet. C liefert die Gütern an D, und stellt ihm MwSt. in Rechnung.
4. 'D kann die Gütern jetzt zurück liefern an A. Weil es hier um eine grenzüberschreitende Lieferung zwischen zwei EU-Mitgliedstaaten handelt, rechnet D keine MwSt.
'Das Karussell kann von vorne beginnen ...'
Country names mentioned on the carousel, clockwise: Frankreich, Niederlande, Niederlande, Frankreich
Text within the carousel: 'Keine MwSt. abgeführt'; '...MwSt. erstattet'.
No strong opinion on the matter. Perhaps if would be more coherent to overwrite, as the intent of the file is to provide the actual logo. Another solution could be to move this file to a new name with "(former logo)" and upload the new one to this page. --Dereckson (talk) 22:00, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
The rendered map is missing objects which are displayed on the original .svg map, namely a Box containing the legend "Anne Beadell Highway" and distance scale, a point named "Cook" and black dot, and the words "Transcontinental Rail". Can this be fixed? thanks --Summerdrought (talk) 02:46, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
Further information; The software being used is Inkscape 0.91 r 13725, Windows 7, Internet explorer. I have converted a version of the file containing the missing objects to PNG using Inkscape, and uploaded it to commons. It can be viewed here. [1]Summerdrought (talk) 18:26, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
Many thanks Perhelion! That has solved the problem. To answer your question about converting text to path, some time in the last two years, rotated or bent text was not rendering, so I found that converting text to path solved the problem. It was probably the font copyright which caused non-rendering, but now I see that Wikimedia is able to handle Arial text, so I guess I do not need to convert any more. Am I correct in this? cheers Summerdrought (talk) 04:21, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
Hej Summerdrought, I made the rotated text shown, it seems we can't still prefer this, the font-kerning seems still buggie!? (If it's to ugly we can convert it again to path?) ↔ User: Perhelion15:30, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Perhelion, that looks great thank you! I am very happy that you were able to fix the problem, and I notice that the file is much smaller too. Summerdrought (talk) 22:41, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
The 15th birthday of Wikipedia, and the Wikimedia movement, is less than one month away! The world will celebrate with us on January 15, 2016, and we need your help making local Wikipedia 15 logos available for more cultures, regions, and languages.
You see, instead of one single Wikipedia 15 birthday mark, we've worked with Wikimedians around the world to create dozens. From the International Space Stations to Fondue (thanks Switzerland!), these simple line drawings show the HUGE range of subjects you can learn about on Wikipedia.
Can you please correct the color shades so as the purple background would be similar to this file. As you can see there are 2 or 3 diffreant shades of purple now in both icons, as i tried to correct it. Thank you --باسم (talk) 14:56, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
The color of the flag is incorrect. Using the organization's own website as a source [2] it is obvious that the commons image is too dark. --EricSerge (talk) 17:05, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
Something is not right about this SVG file. I think this is an SVG file with an embedded PNG file. The image looses all clarity when I render it in a high resolution. --Sreejith K (talk) 14:39, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
This is a miniature .png file that was intended to depict the length of one centimetre at full size, but unfortunately it's only eight millimetres. I accordingly renamed it and attempted to expand it in the three articles in which it was used, intending to have it reach the size of 1cm, but for a reason I can't understand, it wouldn't expand past its full size of 32px. Accordingly, could someone create a similar file in .svg (clear background, black bar) with a length of 1cm at default size? Nyttend (talk) 16:26, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
I would like an svg version of this logo for the infobox. I could not find a larger version on their site, but to get a better idea of the font used, check out the first version of this file. That was a screenshot from a PDF file, and I was able to zoom in a little. I finally found a png version in a decent size.
Ich hätte da eine grundsätzliche Frage. Weiss nämlich nicht, ob das überhaupt verbessert werden kann. Und zwar bemängle ich bei diesem Wappen die Unschärfe. Geht das technisch, dass man das ein wenig klarer machen kann?
Freue mich auf eure Antworten. Bei Fragen stehe ich auf meiner Diskussionsseite gerne zur Verfügung.
Can someone fix the coding for this SVG? It isn't as clean as most SVG images are when they are smaller in size... If you need to completely redraw it, you can download it here (just don't use the one with the watermark). Thanks, -- 🍀 Corkythehornetfan 🍀 04:27, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
Please remove the excess space from the image. Also, if someone wouldn't mind, could you remove the excess space from en:File:Colorado College seal.svg as well? I'm still learning on svgs and can't figure out how to crop them! :) --🍀 Corkythehornetfan 🍀 02:29, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
Cropping was performed in text editor. Lines 13, 14 and 15 for each file contains viewBox and background elements which define the portion of the SVG displayed. For instance, in the logo SVG, the original file had this XML markup:
The viewBox="x1 y1 x2 y2" element defines the top left corner of the display as and the bottom right corner as . So in the original SVG, the viewBox stretched from (0, 0) to (792, 231.6). I then looked for the padding size, which the original artist(s) helpfully defined under the "Spacing" group (look for <g id="Spacing">, which starts on line 123). Line 130 has the code <rect x="-0.1" y="0" class="st1" width="40.7" height="231.6"/>. This tells me the padding is 40.6 pixels, since the padding box is 40.7 pixels wide, but the origin is at -0.1 pixels. Since the branding guide says an equal amount of padding is taken all around the logo, that means equal padding in horizontal and vertical, so I start off my top left corner at . Note the bottom right corner has to be pulled in by 2x the padding value, because you account for padding on the left AND right (or top AND bottom), so that means the bottom right corner becomes . A similar approach was taken for the seal crop.
Sorry for the gory detail. This could have been done in Inkscape directly by moving the image and then setting the Document Properties (shift-control-D) under the "File" menu, but directly editing the SVG was a lot cleaner and quicker (despite how complicated the process sounds).
@Mliu92: Thanks for the explanation. I'm glad you gave this long detail... it's a lot of help! I will definitely use this in the future... appreciate your help! 🍀 Corkythehornetfan 🍀 18:32, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Look at the logo currently in place (lad:). All we are actually looking for here is for the ayin to be changed to alef in the word אנסיקלופידײה. Everything else is fine. I've mocked up copies of this already (see Phabricator:T118491), but apparently there was an issue with the antialiasing of this. All we need changed is that one letter. StevenJ81 (talk) 12:53, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
@AnonMoos: All that having been said, I don't think our project would be averse to a redesign. I was merely trying to suggest that we would be content with a fix of the current design. StevenJ81 (talk) 02:45, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
@Dereckson and StevenJ81: I'm a bit wondering and confusing on your description, there is more than only one letter changed אנסיקלופידײה and בֿיקיפידײה⁉ Is the double sign correct⁇ And can the smaller line be italic? ↔ User: Perhelion22:50, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
@Perhelion and Dereckson: The version Dereckson posted above is not the most recent; see the project itself (lad:). The double-yud sign is correct. I will try to consult other members of the project, some of whom may be easier to contact off-wiki. StevenJ81 (talk) 22:12, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
@Perhelion: Yes, there is an understanding problem. The version we are starting from should be the version currently shown in the project itself, not the version that is posted here at Commons. StevenJ81 (talk) 17:22, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
Could I suggest another approach? Imagine you don't have a logo and we're back at the time you were preparing Incubator. Could you give us the requirements for a new logo with the full text to use? That would be more precise than "take this or that logo and add this". --Dereckson (talk) 20:10, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
OK. I'll go off-wiki to consult with some folks, and then get back to you in a few days (undoubtedly after Sabbath). StevenJ81 (talk) 14:55, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
@Dereckson: OK. If we were starting from scratch, we would want the following text. We have checked the orthography and confirm it. (Latin alphabet lines are ltr; Hebrew alphabet lines are rtl.)
Vikipedya
La Ansiklopedya Líbera
בֿיקיפידײה
לה אנסיקלופידײה ליבירה
Presumably, the first of these lines is rendered in all caps, as is done on all the Wikipedia projects. Our preference for the second line is a serif font, upright (not italic), which again seems to be the practice on all the Wikipedia projects. As for the Hebrew alphabet lines, we really like the font used in the logo of the Hebrew and Yiddish Wikipedia projects, which is a light-serif font that either is, or resembles, one I know called David.Aten:Unicode and HTML for the Hebrew alphabet#HTML code tables, this font is the one that renders on my computer, anyway. What I don't know is if this font (or one similar to it) contains the rafe glyph (בֿ) we use. If not, we'll have to try something else. But this is the way we'd like to go, if that's possible. Thanks. StevenJ81 (talk) 17:15, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi @باسم, I hope I have correctly understood. Anyhow, the PNG format has the disadvantage to be rendered somewhat blurred by the wiki software.

Done. I cannot explain the black rectangle. It did not appear when I looked at the SVG direct on my desktop PC rather than as rendered by Wikipedia's SVG-to-PNG converter. Anyway I have used the crude method of hiding it by drawing a blue rectangle over it. Maproom (talk) 11:00, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Really neat public domain graphic created in JPEG format by The White House. Could it be converted and then uploaded as a separate new file in SVG format please? ---- Cirt (talk) 22:05, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Please trace the bitmap version of O'Fallon's seal and convert to .SVG for use on the Wikipedia page for O'Fallon, Illinois. There is no vector version available since the seal was not originally created in a vector graphics program. The distortion would need to be fixed in this image. I believe the typeface used on the text in the seal is Helvetica—likely Roman or Medium weight. The second image is closer in terms of proportions, but the final version should be primarily traced from the first image provided.

Currently, both the English and the German article do contain many photos of different freight bikes, but it's hard to see the typical characteristics of these bikes in the pictures, so I'd rather add a table of all types with a small image showing a simple sketch instead of photos, similar to the ones used in the study linked above. --Tkarcher (talk) 09:59, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

The intel processor roadmap needs a new version: Broadwell and Skylake are no longer future. Next is Kaby Lake, which was delayed to 2017. Skymont has been renamed in Cannonlake.--Kopiersperre (talk) 16:37, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
I don't see any real benefit to this information being in a SVG format. If you look at en:Tick-Tock model and en:List of Intel CPU microarchitectures#Roadmap you can see the roadmap clearly without the use of a SVG image. By keeping the information in a textual format it makes it easier for everyone to update the information without the requirement of editing a image every time the roadmap changes.Offnfopt(talk)10:43, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
@Offnfopt: I agree the existing roadmap makes more sense as an embedded template (here is the one from English Wikipedia: Intel processor roadmap). It's clearly based on the original graphic and is easier - but still not easy - to update than the SVG. Also, the arrows are mostly missing (though its easy enough to read left-to-right) as a consequence of the table format. I will also work on updating the template, since it needs a little attention too (for instance Prescott is built on the 90nm process, not 130mm as the template implies). So ...
@Kopiersperre: I believe the existing roadmap also has some merits, since there are specific things that might work better as a graphic as well, such as embedded translation using <switch> and a comparison of feature sizes. Because the existing roadmap needed a lot of updates and corrections (the "version 2" and "version 3" copied some original errors, such as overlooking the simplification of the "Core" and "Atom" microarchitectures), I worked up a vertical rendition (thanks, Sameboat - 同舟!). I've included the existing translations to Russian (lang=ru), Ukranian (lang=uk), French (lang=fr), and Spanish (lang=es), and added a German translation (lang=de) using my rusty skills. Although I worked it up in Inkscape and saved as an "optimized" SVG, Inkscape has added a lot of fat to the SVG code which I have not bothered to clean up. Translations start on line # 215 in the file and it should be fairly straightforward to add more languages if needed.

Graphist opinion(s)
Interesting. The SVG file itself looks ok (though the words "Holy Roman Empire" could do with moving slightly). But the Wikimedia engine that converts it to a PNG has made a bit of a mess of it. I may have a look tomorrow, and see if I can improve things. Maproom (talk) 21:14, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Hello Rupert Clayton, Maproom: Only for correction, there is nothing wrong here with the "Wikimedia engine" (librsvg renderer). Also browser don't showing line-breaks here, because there is only proprietary Inkscape code"sodipodi:role="line". So this has also nothing to do with the font-family. The image was changed by @MaxxL: , unfortunately he has nothing commented here (what he had done, saved as Normal SVG not Inkscape SVG) and he inserted an false font.

This is a big ask, and may need it's own Wikiproject, Thanks to a request I put into the Department of Transport I was able to get a set of EPS files, being the figures in the Traffic Signs Manual. These are very slowly being uploaded to the category mentioned. However, the EPS->SVG conversion isn't perfect, and some rendering fixes had to be applied, which is why it is taking time to get the full set uploaded.
I am in need of some more experienced graphists famiar with EPS and SVG to help review and quality control the files uploaded so far.
Some problems I've personally identified so far are :
Border elements that have been recombined from single EPS path elements.
Unclosed paths.
Font substitutions (for Commmons/Wikisource rendering issues.)
There is only so much a single volunteer can do, and I would appreciate this being a community effort.

Wikimedia Sverige's project Connected Open Heritage (COH) aims to bring cultural heritage data onto Wikidata, and images of cultural heritage onto Wikimedia Commons. We especially focus on cultural heritage that is at risk globally. The logo will be used in brochures, on roll-ups, on templates on Commons and on project pages on different wikis. Read more about the project.
Request
Create a visually pleasing representation of the project name Connected Open Heritage with a CC0 license so that it easily can be used to promote the project. Preferably in svg so that it easily can be scaled for various use. (We do not mind getting alternatives from different wikigraphists to choose from.) --John Andersson (WMSE) (talk) 14:22, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

I have now submitted four logo ideas above. Hope there is something you can use. If you want any alternative versions or changes dont heitate to contact me. AlphaZeta (talk) 22:01, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi! Sorry for the extremely late reply. I was sure that I had written here already! These are some lovely logotypes both of you have created! With so many great possibilities I would love to take the opportunities to organize a open vote for all interested to have a say. I will look at that in a week or so when some reports I am working on are finalized. If anyone feel inspired, please add your suggestion as well. Again, thank you both!

Lock icon svg corruption
Alt (fine)
Alt 5 (corrupt)
Alt 6 (corrupt)
Article(s): Possibly several hundred thousands.
Request
These locks are part of a proposal to possibly, maybe, be adopted as citation icons designed to flag whether something is free to read or not (see [12] for details). However, for some reason, the svg code on Wikipedia doesn't render how it's supposed to / how I intend it to render. The top part of the shackle of both Alt 5 and Alt 6 is corrupted. It is supposed to follow the same path as Alt 1, but be half full, half dashed. If someone could fix that, that would be appreciated. --Headbomb (talk) 17:03, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
Heh - I was already adding the thicker stroke after I'd seen how it rendered... Cheers. (and sorry, Offnfopt, I didn't see you were working on it at the same time - I should have put "take" on it - mea culpa) --Begoon05:02, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
No prob, had only just started, hadn't added a actual reply yet because was still adding the horrible looking bevels and drop shadows, just figured I would upload the plain color first then overwrite it. Offnfopt(talk)05:04, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
Add curved text to an SVG
Here is an unfinished SVG. Please add the curved text to it.
Here is a raster image of what the finished product should look like.
Please add curved text to the half-finished SVG above. I have done about as much as I can with my limited SVG editing skills. I have linked a raster image of what the finished product should look like. The text should be "THE SEAL OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND" centered on the top half of the white ring, and the number "1776" centered on the bottom of the white ring. The upper words should be in sans-serif font, but the number "1776" should be in a serif font. Also, the white ring is a bit thick, please decrease its thickness too. Please consult the raster image if you have any questions. Thanks! --– Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 10:16, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
With the regional coordinator of Wikimedia Italy (User:Kaspo) we are reorganizing the network of users living in (or interested in) Tuscany and working on different platforms and I think it would be nice to have a barnstar to give them because some of them did a great work so far. Nothing elaborate, and if I may without the modern post-1975 "pegasus flag" which is IMHO "lame", but as you like it... I am also not a fan of a specific monument like the duomo of Florence or the tower in Pisa as a central image, but again that's just my opinion. No hurry, of course, that's just something nice to have soon or later. I am just not good in designing barnstars. Thanks in advance.--Alexmar983 (talk) 15:53, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
Hey, I'd like eight SVG pictograms based on Anexo II (page 5) of this document. The licence is to be {{PD-SpanishGov}}, the file names could be ICAA A.svg, ICAA 7.svg, ICAA Ai.svg, ICAA 7i.svg, ICAA 12.svg, ICAA 16.svg, ICAA 18.svg, and ICAA X.svg. – -Máté(talk)05:51, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

The SVG shapes are in the pdf, so I'll extract them, apply the colours and upload them in a couple of hours. --Begoon06:33, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
Please clean up these files and reduce Talkington to 444 x 109, as well as reduce the coding. (I created the text for Talkington here, but I didn't do something right... even after following this page!) The last three files above are PNG files uploaded by another user and saved as a "SVG" image. The excess space around those will need removed, as well. The colors are found here, but Red is #CC0000 (204,0,0), Gray (204,204,204), and black is #000000. I'm not talented enough yet to fix the problem! Thanks! --Corkythehornetfan21:30, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
File:Talkington Visual & Performing Arts logo.svgisDone. Not sure why the specific requirement of 444 x 109, I went ahead and ignored that and just imported the vector directly from the pdf in the TTU_DblT_CollegeofVisualandPerformingArts.zip archive linked on the page above and left it at its default size and cleaned up the markup. If no one else does any of the others, I'll try to import some more of the other official ones from the zips. I'll try to do at least one a day. Offnfopt(talk)23:30, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
I downloaded that zip file. In the expanded zip is - TTU_DblT_CollegeofVisualandPerformingArts.zip\TTU_DblT_College of Visual and Performing Arts\For PRINT LAYOUT and GRAPHIC DESIGN\Vector PDF\TTU_DblT_CoVaPA_2line_fl4C.pdf from which the logo extracts to 451 x 109, and has the same red as seen on the web page - https://www.depts.ttu.edu/communications/identityguidelines/idguidelines/ttu/official/double-t.php rather than the darker version we currently have. The size difference from what Corky quotes above seems to be just the ™ symbol. I uploaded that version, and reverted because I may be missing something, but it's there in the file history in case it's useful.
I agree we shouldn't be altering the text from the official version, unless there is an updated one. I understand the college has changed name to "J.T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts", but on their website (http://www.depts.ttu.edu/cvpa/) they use the generic "TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY" logo with no school name. It's not up to us to redesign the logo, so if there is no official version with the new name perhaps we need to do as they do and use the generic one, at least until an official version is available. I put the generic version, from https://www.depts.ttu.edu/communications/identityguidelines/downloads/ttu/TTU_DblT_AlternateSignature.zipinthe history too, in case we decide to do that.
Adding to the confusion, their website uses the darker red too - strikes me that maybe the University style guide is not being properly followed by the schools, or needs updating. Again, perhaps I'm missing something... --Begoon03:05, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
Just looked into this, the lighter color is what is imported if you import without using a color profile and the darker color is what I got when importing with a color profile. The darker color #CC0000 is correct according to the colors listed here. I went ahead and uploaded the colors you get when importing without a color profile and reverted so someone else can make that decision to revert if need be. Offnfopt(talk)04:15, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
Incidentally, you were correct - Inkscape changed the red from #c00 importing the pdf - Illustrator does not. The pdf has *:::<xmpG:swatchName>4C Red</xmpG:swatchName><xmpG:type>PROCESS</xmpG:type><xmpG:tint>100.000000</xmpG:tint><xmpG:mode>RGB</xmpG:mode><xmpG:red>204</xmpG:red><xmpG:green>0</xmpG:green><xmpG:blue>0</xmpG:blue> in raw text - for rgb 204,0,0 - but Inkscape alters that to 238,0,0 while Illustrator preserves it. I'll stick with Illustrator for pdf import, since I'm not seeing how to get Inkscape to change that behaviour. --Begoon06:35, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
What I understand that what you want is a svg file but with Traditional Chinese keyboard layout, is that correct?
If that is what you want please write all of the correct signs here.

Would anyone like to help with the community revived Commons app (IEG Grant)? We would need some icons for near-by places that motivate users to go there and take a picture of them. The details are in this Github thread. Icons for "bridge", "river", "church", "general building", etc.. would be needed. Thank you for you help! --Tobias1984 (talk) 07:35, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
I second this request, the app would look so much better with nice illustrations! The list of needed illustrations is: city, waterbody, railwaystation, river, park, forest, event, sport, university, road, isle, building, mountain, bridge, church. Thanks a lot! Syced (talk) 03:07, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
BMacZero: Wonderful! It is very nice, 1000 times better than the icons we have now :-) By the way, the grey circle is not a requirement, it just happens to be the first icon we found for "undefined", so it could as well be rectangular icons, actually right now we just use photographs like this (photographs are not good, not abstract enough). Would you mind create icons for the other categories? We will start using them as soon as you are done. Syced (talk) 03:30, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
I agree: They look great. But they should be converted to a vector format, so they can be displayed in different sizes without loss of quality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tkarcher (talk • contribs)
In addition to the categories I mentioned above, an "undefined" category in the same style would be great, a lot of items are actually undefined so it is one of the most important ones. Cheers! Syced (talk) 10:38, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
Thanks BMacZero! I'll add whatever is ready to the app next week, they look much better than what we currently have. :) We would also like to add you to our credits file, would you prefer your Commons username or something else? Cheers! Misaochan (talk) 11:39, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
Just as a note for prioritization of symbols. This query shows what P31 ('instance of' on Wikidata) value most things with coordinates have in a country: query. A lot of items are also 'railway stations' or 'gatehouses' for example. I think a few thousand missing images would warrant its own symbol. You can switch the countries to see what is most missing where you live. --Tobias1984 (talk) 18:41, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
I've also been working off of the results of the query for United States (Q30). I tried running the query without a country constraint but it times out. Some possibly notable entries that show up much higher on the US results are 'radio station', 'city', 'airport', 'neighborhood', 'protected area', 'sports venue', and 'ghost town'.

Please remove the overline and the underline from these characters. Wiktionary often uses images as examples of each character, but the actual characters don't have those lines. A person who hypothetically doesn't have the right fonts to see them could mistakenly think that these lines are part of the characters. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 09:58, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
The purpose of this request is creating a favicon for the English Wiktionary that is compatible with the current logo. (The favicon enwikt is currently using is basically just ['w], which is compatible with the older logo.)
After the favicon is created, it will need approval of the community before it can be used. I will create a new discussion on enwikt with that proposal.
Done. Century Gothic is not exactly the font used in the original flag but I left the middle "incorporated" part intact. I used DejaVu Sans to replicate the text alongside the ring. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 12:44, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Done. Bottom banner text of both DPR and MPR insignias are reworked with true text to overcome the lack of "text on path" on Wikimedia and you can freely change their font-size, font-family, position and curvature in text editor. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 03:03, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I've been working with some people in publishing and social media at UNESCO (where I work) and all of them have found it incredibly useful for finding suitable images, however many of them have missed the link to the gallery of more images and misunderstood that the images on this page were all that was available. Would it be possible to come up with a way to make the more>> button more prominent? Perhaps putting the links inside buttons of some sort (perhaps like the more details button in media viewer?). Another small request would be to disable the links for the symbols next to the categories, this is confusing for non Wikimedians to click on what they assume is a category and end up with a big version of the symbol instead. --John Cummings (talk) 10:20, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)
A Wikigraphist friend e-mailed me and asked "why do you need this? wouldn't the flags be enough?" Good questions-here's why:
1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scouting/Userboxes -we've been having some users make their own userboxes for their own country's Scouting, which is great except they've been using their country's copyrighted logos. ☹ This covers every country we have members in. I would think flags are okay, but they are using the emblems.
2) there are Scouting WikiProjects in several languages, so these could be used by multiple Scouting WikiProjects

alcohol content
Image showing alcohol content in drinks of different ABV and size
The axes of this graph could be expanded greatly so as to cover beer (lower %, higher volume) and spirits (higher %, lower volume).
Sensible axes to encompass these drinks would probably be 3-50% ABV, and volume 20mL to 500mL.
The x-axis should also have a label stating the units of ABV, (i.e. %) --147.109.124.14913:55, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
The horizontal axis is labelled "Alcohol content, by volume". But no units are given. I suspect that what it shows is not volume, but percentage of alcohol, calculated by volume. If that is right, a better label would be "Percentage alcohol (ABV)". Maproom (talk) 09:45, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

create an SVG-version of this, omit the locator-picture and make it bigger so later we could add stuff from picture No 4
