Flags used by the Fram

Article(s): Fram (ship), List of Norwegian flags, Nansen's Fram expedition, Amundsen's South Pole expedition, Polheim, List of Antarctic flags

Request: Could somebody please create SVG files for the masthead flags used by the Norwegian polar exploration ship Fram, including:

1) The ship's original masthead flag (consisting of a red pennant with the name "FRAM" in white), used when it was was first launched (1892) and during Fridtjof Nansen's Arctic expedition (1893–1896), as seen within the images provided above.

2) The masthead flag used by the ship during Roald Amundsen's expedition to the South Pole (1910–1912), based on this official replica.

Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:37, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Would it be accurate if we named the files "Flag of the Fram (1892–1896)" and "Flag of the Fram (1910–1912)"? Feitidede (talk) 04:35, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Feitidede: I did consider providing similar file titles when I first made this request. The trouble is that I don't know for certain exactly how long the original masthead flag design was used for. Particularly since, in addition to the two expeditions mentioned above, the Fram was also used in another expedition from 1898 to 1902, and I haven't been able to find any indication of whether or not any masthead flag was even employed for that one (whether it be the original design, a different design entirely, or none at all). Hence why I thought it best to go with the currently provided file titles. What do you think? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 19:27, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In that case I think the original titles you provided seem more accurate Feitidede☆ﾟ.* 19:43, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

House Flags

Article(s): en:Enoch Train, en:Loch Line, en:SS Catalina

Request: Please make a house flags of ths shipping companies.

White Diamond Line, use a slightly darker and subdued red.
Aitken, Lilburn & Co Glasgow Shipping Co.
Aitken, Lilburn & Co General Shipping Co.
Wilmington Transportation Company
Catalina Island Steamship Line

Flags of companies 2 and three can also be seen in this book on pages 108 and 112. In both cases they differ in details from the basic links. The second has an additional dot after the "C" and under the "°". Flag number 3 contains "C°." instead of "Coy". Swiãtopôłk (talk) 17:00, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Do you have any other sources for the first one? I've already made one for the Wilmington Transportation Company. I would also like to see some other references for the 5th flag. Feitidede☆ﾟ.* 13:44, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I know a painting of this company's ship, Chariot of Fame (1853) [1]Swiãtopôłk (talk) 15:02, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to make sure the white diamond was supposed to be completely inside the red flag and not touching it's borders. On the original FOTW source the diamond appear much smaller [2], however on the painting it appears much larger. I think the FOTW version should be an accurate size. Feitidede☆ﾟ.* 19:57, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The version where the white shape does not touch the edge seems more intuitive to me, but we will probably never know for sure and both variants could probably be correct in the case of such an old company. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 21:54, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There definitely is an update needed. The original source of the data stopped providing new exchange rates (in fact stopped trading the currency altogether), so we need a replacement based on a different source. --Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 01:46, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Giftzwerg 88 As you have noticed no graphic worker has taken this because we (graphic workers) don't do research to find another source like that. It's up to the requester to provide the needed information. So either add the source you want us to use or please remove this request, thanks. --please ping me--

Article(s): pt:Companhia Geral de Comércio de Pernambuco e Paraíba

Request: I would like to request a flag used by the Companhia Geral de Comércio de Pernambuco e Paraíba fleet. There are currently two png files, although one of them contains errors. (First of all, the figure was described as Saint Anthony of Padua, traditionally depicted as a monk holding a boy. The current file appears to show Saint Elmo. Besides, I think it would be better to use a sans serif font.) I leave a drawing of the flag from 1896, which shows a more correct image. Since it is known only from descriptions, it is not necessary to rely on existing images, and it is only important to use the 7-pointed star, the motto, and Saint Anthony. --Swiãtopôłk (talk) 09:35, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A good SVG for translation and technical publications

jpg
xcf
svg

Article(s): s:en:Index:Vacuum Tubes in Wireless-1918.djvu

Request: I have taught myself how to hand over an svg from GIMP to Inkscape and make something that is beautiful and also useful. The xcf contains a path (the ones labeled "fig" have had the alpha/num stripped from them) that needs to be reversed. I imported the picture and the path into Inkscape and proceeded to fill in the missing alpha/num characters in a layer group called "en". The 1/1,000,000 is sad there (and not beautiful). Everything in these files is a guess about what would make a good SVG for others to add to. I would like an actual SVG that is not a guess. There are other similar files in Category:Vacuum Tubes in Wireless (1918, Bucher)--RaboKarbakian (talk) 15:02, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Unclear what exactly you want to achieve. If you want a mathematically accurate waveform, you should probably write an appropriate function in R and plot it -> save in a vector format like PostScript and import that it into Inkscape (rather than vectorize from a bitmap). Shyamal L. 15:42, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@RaboKarbakian:

You have converted some of the illustration to text elements. Those elements can now be translated with SVG Translate. That is a reasonable and a good step.

This was the thing I was most worried about.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 14:44, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is other text in the diagram: a plus ("+"), a minus ("−"), and symbol representing the period (which I cannot make out). It would be good if that text were also converted to text elements. That should be a simple operation.

I would not make the 1⁄1000000 second from a "1", a "__________", "1,000,000", and "SEC."; the appearance looks odd and will vary. I would replace it with the single line "1/1,000,000 s", "1⁄1000000 s", or "1 µs".

One of the stated goals of en.wikisource is to reproduce the publication as exactly as possible. After posting this, I wondered if the SVG rendering here was or could be attached to the <math> module, as I could do this so much more easily with LaTeX than with any of the w3c ml. As this was the second biggest reason I dropped this here and if the math module is not able to do this yet; maybe ask for additional help to get this right. Right, being that it looks like the image.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 14:44, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Some more general comments about making SVG files cleaner and more compact.

The diagram was converted from a bitmap. The SVG file still contains that bitmap even though the bitmap is hidden. The bitmap should be deleted; it is no longer required.

I thought to include it to help with translation. You are certain it is not required for this?--RaboKarbakian (talk) 14:44, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is not required. Glrx (talk) 20:52, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If the diagram were used a lot, I would redraw it. The places where the damped sinewave crosses the x axis are muddled. I would draw the axes separately from the damped sinewave. I would draw only one damped sinewave and then clone it to make the other damped sinewaves. I would also draw the dimension lines for the period separately.

I have had problems with remaking images too well at en:s. That the svg doesn't depart to much from the image is the best thing for right now. However, for a math book, where the formula for the curve is right there; this suggestion of yours is exactly what I want to do!--RaboKarbakian (talk) 14:44, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redrawing a file may not be worth the effort.

Glrx (talk) 19:58, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Glrx Thank you for your time. My biggest frustration was that ugly fraction. Maybe w3c has something that would help; MathML or such? I am going to look it up; but maybe you just know. I also considered a Postscript to svg converter; which also would have been so much better than this crappy font manipulation I put in there.

These need to be:

complete
easy to work with
closely resembling the original

Thanks again!--RaboKarbakian (talk) 14:44, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SVG 2.0 allows HTML and MathML markup, but WMF does not allow uploading files that use those namespaces. They are also not supported by many graphics editors, so such markup is not a good choice for Commons. In addition, when such support is added, it often uses exotic switch elements to provide a fall back. Such code probably does not survive a round trip through a graphics editor.

Consequently, I would go for simplicity and clarity rather than trying to match the presentation exactly. Using "1 microsecond" is a simple substitution that every SVG agent will render correctly. Glrx (talk) 20:52, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): Damascus

Request

Both files should be modified by moving the Syrian flag above the “Damascus flower” emblem, as seen in this low-quality image. Finally, the red color of the bar on the left (flag colors) should be replaced with green, while the green color of the stars should be replaced with red. (Red: #CE1126; Green: #007A3D) Additionally, a third star should be added in the center between the two (which would need to be realigned accordingly).

(FYI image 2 is sourced from a photograph hence the angle is not 100% accurate on this shot and the text is slanted downwards. Ignore this as the vectorized image should be just normal straight.) --Sceeegt (talk) 17:27, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)

@Sceeegt: Hi, your request is not really of great interest (each image used one time!), but:

rather than vectorizing some low resolution images
you can browse for more appropriate pictures
and search for a font to render the given text (then, no vectorize, but font outline instead)

So, I've found some appropriate, approximate, fonts:

>> BilkoOpti-Regular <<
BrophyOpti
Sorts Mill Goudy Regular
Bamberg Serial Light
Cardo
Aldine 401

Font is the same for the two requested images (a bit slanted for the second).

At first sight, BilkoOpti-Regular seams adequate (with kerning a bit under sized).

For free font or licensing some chars... up to you.

Ireland motorway maps

Original image
Modification of original image, updated in 2018 but still with mistakes

Article(s): en:Motorways in the Republic of Ireland, en:History of roads in Ireland, various other Irish motorway articles

Request: I'd like to make a request for SVG versions of Irish motorway maps if they can be made. It might be a lot of work, especially if you're unfamiliar with the Irish road network ‒ for that reason, I have given the following information to make my request as clear as possible, going by the first image:

The map features national primary roads (which include motorways) only.
It requires updates for extended or newly constructed motorways. These are the extension of the M18, the construction of the M17 and the extension of the M11.
It is missing route numbers for the M50, the M2, the N19 (near Limerick), the N23 (near Tralee), the N28 (near Cork) and the N29 (near Waterford).
Apart from the N31 and small section of the N11, all national roads shown in Dublin (inside the M50) should be removed (these roads were downgraded in 2012).
Apart from the N6, all national roads around Galway should be removed (these roads were downgraded after the construction of the M17 and M18).

Google Maps or OpenStreetMap shows the current Irish road network. Route number shields can be found at Category:Diagrams of route signs of Ireland. A request was made in 2018 but was archived upon request assumably due to the user having made the map themselves (second image). Derivations of the map were made to highlight specific sections of motorway for their relevant articles, it would really be appreciated if those could be made too. Please let me know if you need more information! Thanks in advance. --EthanL13 | talk 14:52, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Some of these flags have been changed. I will make sure to upload the new flags and the old ones accordingly. The Petrovo flag for example changed in 2016. Feitidede☆ﾟ.* 22:39, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Flags

Done, I will get in touch with a higher up to replace these flags with the better version. About the coat of arms, do you have any examples of other Ukrainian vectorized coat of arms? Feitidede☆ﾟ.* 01:08, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Feitidede: I've got File:Coat of Arms of Znamianka.svg, which seems similar to all of the coats of arms I've mentioned, despite having different escutcheons and mural crowns, I guess. (I'm not a expert in heraldry, though. I've consulted help from ChatGPT for knowing about some parts used in the coats of arms.) I think it's a template coat of arms used by the Ukrainian municipalities.

Also, I've replaced most of the flags with their vector versions using GlobalReplace, except the first three ones, which are still used by not only their respective Commons categories, but, also English and Spanish Wikipedias, both of which are uneditable by me because of my IP blocks there.

I hope you'd help me in the case of coat of arms and replace all of the non-vector files there with their vector versions. Also, thank you for the vectorized flags and, not to forget, I'd like you to vectorize all the flags in Flags of populated places of Kirovohrad Oblast and maybe add all of the missing ones if you have them. Maybe you could continue the process to all of the related pages. Anyway, I hope you do your job very well.

Although this isn't my request, I've taken the liberty of adding the flags of the blank countries (sorry if I missed any) to the gallery section, as well as a few other countries' flags that have changed in the last few years, in order to make things easier for anyone who ultimately takes on this request. :) Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 16:34, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
