Map of Italy & Republic of Venice 1494
File which needs correction of Venetian, Hungarian and Ottoman borders
Request
I've tried to make a correction to the file, but the system refutes to upload it because of some XML error, which currently don't know how to fix. For my correction see this image (which mostly based on this map). Specifically, the map in question is mainly based on the early 20th century Shepherd's map which has several more or less significant errors. This map still has many errors, but the most prominent error are the borders of the en:Venetian Dalmatia, Hungarian Kingdom and Ottoman Empire which must be corrected because are very misleading because are completely historically inaccurate, antedating them for almost 400 years. The majority of the en:Dalmatian hinterland in 1494 was under Hungarian(-Croatian) Kingdom (see this map, and Ivetic's work Eastern Adriatic: Historical atlas of one littoral part of Mediterranean, pg. 161 map 59, pg. 162 map 61, pg. 166 map 70, pg. 167 map 71–72), and with the Ottoman conquest by the 1520s this part of Dalmatia i.e. Croatia was re-organized as en:Croatian vilayet and after the en:Siege of Klis (1537) incorporated into en:Sanjak of Klis and partly later into en:Sanjak of Krka (this map and this map show Ottoman expansion into Croatia). Venetians in their historical sources before Ottoman expansion often called the Dalmatian cities as part of some "Sclavonian" or "Croatian" country, and after the Ottoman expansion called the Dalmatian hinterland as "Banadego" which was a reference to the historical fact that this part of the region was under the governorship of Ban of Croatia (for such and more info see Fine, Ivetic etc., it is common historical knowledge in academic literature and easily proven in historical sources). In other words, both the Hungarian-Venetian and Hungarian-Ottoman borders in 1494 were not even close as shown in the map. Dalmatia was for several centuries divided between the bigger Ottoman Dalmatia and smaller Venetian Dalmatia (map of Eastern Adriatic 1558, map and map of Bosnia Elayet 1600). The borders of Venetian Dalmatia which are shown in the map are exactly the modern period borders of Dalmatia which came to be in the late 17th and mostly in the 18th century, while the Ottoman Empire borders are exactly the modern period borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina which came to be with Treaty of Passarowitz (1718). This is all wrong, and unfortunately readers who have low knowledge about the pre-Venetian i.e. Ottoman and Hungarian-Croatian history of Dalmatia often share this map/variations on social media and elsewhere, often followed by Italian irredentist commentary how the whole modern region of Dalmatia was "Italian" for 500 years. What's worse, the SVG file was used to make many language PNG and SVG variations which are used and spreading such misconceptions on many language editions of Wikipedia. For the beginning, we need a correction of the original SVG file (and possibly English PNG), so other editors can correct other SVG & PNG files from there. --Miki Filigranski (talk) 16:48, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Could someone please create a vectorized image of the four illustrations on pages 115–117 of this article? Please create it as a single image, with A in the top left, B in the top right, C in the bottom left, and D in the bottom right. Happy to talk through any of the issues. Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 02:43, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Request taken. However I'm unsure if what you're asking for violates the copyright of the source material (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). Wouldn't making a chart like that be considered a derivative? afever — 15:52, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much, afever. I don't think the image is under copyright. The 1955 images were published in a journal without a copyright notice (see here), so should be in the public domain by now. Also, the underlying image is a sketch of a design that's some 500 years old, and thus PD. (It's similar to this file, which is based on a 1972 sketch of a more than 1000-year-old design.) --Usernameunique (talk) 00:44, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I see. Sorry, I'm still new to copyright and that sort of stuff on Wikipedia. I'll start working on that shortly. Thanks :) afever — 02:39, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
afever, thanks very much for this! These are really well done, and look great. Could you please make the following minor tweaks?
Top left: 1) Please remove where the line at the mouth crosses over the tongue. 2) Please remove the gray from the portion of the tongue which is inside the serpent's mouth. 3) Please put a small "A" at the bottom left of the image.
Top right: Please put a small "B" at the bottom left of the image.
Bottom left: Please add the three "plugs" (the things with diagonal lines). Please also put a small "C" at the bottom left of the images.
Bottom right: 1) Please add the three "plugs". 2) Please define the end of the serpent's tail (this may require making the surrounding gray area a little larger). 3) Please make the surrounding gray color (i.e., the part that was added in this image) a bit different (e.g., with dots) than the interior gray color (i.e., the color that's in all of the images). 4) Please put a small "D" at the bottom left of the image.
Once this is done I may also ask you to add the numbers that are in the original, but (if you're willing to bear with me) I'd like to first see how it looks without the numbers. Thanks again, --Usernameunique (talk) 19:28, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Open the PDF file you want convert in Inkscape (not Acrobat) by clicking File>Open..
Uncheck Embed images on the box that comes up and click OK
Wait a little while as Inkscape converts it
Click File>Save As..
Under Save as type:, choose "Plain SVG (*.svg)"
Click Save in the bottom right corner
Done! You now have an SVG file with the same name as the PDF, but with the .svg extension
Note 1: Try to avoid PDF files having huge pages. In that case just print the target page with Microsoft PDF printer or any other virtual PDF printers.
I appreciate your guidance. I already have Inkscape installed, but I haven't used this method before. Typically, I would open the file with Photoshop and select "Images" instead of "Pages" to view all the images in the PDF. Then, I would extract the desired image and convert it to SVG. However, based on your suggestion, it seems like using Inkscape directly would be a better approach. Thank you for sharing. Riad Salih (talk) 03:38, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. The version of the flag of Milwaukee on Wikipedia is incorrect and needs a few corrections. In some details, it doesn't match the official design of the flag. A photograph of the official design is found in the article from the website of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel linked here https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/solutions/2020/02/06/milwaukee-common-council-ignites-flag-war-over-peoples-flag/4646492002/. In general, the official flag seems more detailed than the Wikipedia version, including in the outlines of Milwaukee buildings at the bottom at the flag, the Native American in the top-left of the gear and the symbol in the top-right in the gear. The flag in the bottom-left of the gear is in a square shape and is shown vertically hung from a visible string at the top of the flag. I would like to kindly request the correction of this flag to match the photograph and also to have the flag in the bottom-left of the gear uploaded as a separate file. Thanks in Advance! 109.78.178.71 (talk) 23:13, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can someone please make a vectorization for the head badge for the Vietnam Self-Defence Militia which can be found here. The colorization can be synchronized with the above VPA insignia. Thank you!-- Hwi.padam21:09, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hwi.padam: Sure. Let me know how this looks—I've used the darker gold of the actual flag rather than the bright yellow of the insignia, but it's a quick fix if you think the yellow is more appropriate. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 19:29, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the emblem on the flag is spotted at the same color with the national flag's yellow star [4], so yes, I suggest it should be full yellow (#ff0) corresponding to the Flag of Vietnam. Besides that, the flag dimension should be 2:3 and the emblem size seem to be 2/3 to the width of the flag, since I notice the emblem's corner is not that close to the flag's edge in real life. There are different flags with different details spotted in different militia units since they use commercial contractors for the flag without any standardized regulation, so we will base everything on the Vietnamese flag. Thank you so much!!! Hwi.padam21:19, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hwi.padam: Got it. I've changed the color, just need to get the proportion right before I upload: the flag in the photo is exactly 3:5, and the emblem is exactly half the width of the flag. May I use those dimensions or is 2:3 defined in law or something like that? OK, I've reuploaded with the flag and emblem in 2:3 ratio. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 21:38, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please create three Crowley Maritime flags. The current flag is simply the logo on white [5]. Before 2022, they used versions with [6] and without inscription [7]. logo with blue "c"
Please create a new file reflecting the flag from this photo, the elements are already ready on other flags. Name the new file "5 - Nationalist flags of Algeria in the 1960s.svg" that it matches the existing series. Thanks. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 1:00, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
@Fvasconcellos: Yes, the blue border is part of the burgee. As for the type of fish, I've done a lot of looking around, and now I think it most closely resembles a salmon. If it helps, I've provided a template above in case you decide to use it. Although, if you do, is there any way you could move it's bottom-left fin (or bottom-right fin from the way the salmon appears on the burgee), so that it's dangling below the salmon like the other two lower fins, instead of on its side? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 13:39, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Snow Lion Fenian: How does this look? Decided to redraw the fish from scratch once I found a higher-resolution document on the club's Facebook page... And it does indeed appear to be a salmon or sea trout. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 16:50, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please replace this file with its mirror image and add a thin gray border. The old version had a frame, but it had the wrong drawing. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 14:25, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Fvasconcellos: Yes, the colors of the current copy are not the same as the original. The original copy contains a color gradient and the color of the map is white, not transparent. أحمد 04 (talk) 01:14, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! I have a very simple question. Please, is there someone that can kindly make svg of flag using svg of the CoA? Many, many and many thanks in advance for all you can do!!! -- 93.47.36.180 (talk) 14:31, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Request taken by ZandDev 18:25, 23 March 2024 (UTC). I'm able to create the first flag, without red border, with both logos (the actual and the older one).
DoneZandDev22:07, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I don't need flags with red moths, and since they are a problem, I'm closing the request. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 8:00, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello! Can someone please create a drawing or SVG I'm not sure what its called of this coat of arms above here? For example just like they turned this coat of arms [17] into this clean looking version [18]. Thank you! Arberian2444 (talk) 23:20, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This logo is possible to be vectorized. However, none of the websites do that, Eg. Logopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayzkao (talk • contribs) 06:26, February 26, 2024 (UTC)

Not done Sorry, but as stated in "Advice to requesters" at the top of the page, vectorization of copyrighted images is not permitted. This file is clearly marked as nonfree and eligible for copyright. If a vector version can be found online, that can be uploaded, but we cannot recreate one ("Do not re-draw or auto-trace non-free images; instead, seek out vector versions from official sources").

Would anyone please be able to able to create an SVG file of the burgee used by Helford River Sailing Club? If you go on this page here, scroll down to the "Dinghy Racing" section, and click on the PDF link titled "Dinghy Sailing Risk Assessment Form", you'll see a fairly good quality image of the club burgee at the top.
