Template talk:Military of Sri Lanka

Image:Sri Lankan Army Flag.svg is not the Sri Lankan Army Flag! it is in fact the President's Colours. This could clearly been seen here Image:SLMA_Colours.jpg. The actual Sri Lankan Army Flag is this Image:The Sri Lanka Army Flag And Crest.JPG. So putting the later in this Template is incorrect. Nitraven (talk) 14:11, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The use of fair use, copyright imagery on templates is not permitted per WP:NFCC #9. Fair use images have been removed from this template six times now. Five times now you have reinstated fair use images to this template in violation of policy. This will stop. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:20, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nitraven, it's my bad. I the one who responsible for that mess. Hammersoft, I think I can create a my own replacement for Image:The Sri Lanka Army Flag And Crest.JPG. But I need few weeks of time for that. Happy editing! --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{walkie-talkie | tool box} 16:53, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Creating a replacement was already tried. The reality is, any 'replacement' that is close enough to the original to be valid for an article or template on the SLA will be considered a derivative work and would be deleted as a copyright violation of the original Image:The Sri Lanka Army Flag And Crest.JPG. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:56, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And another attempt which just created a derivative work has been tagged for speedy deletion. See Image:Sri Lanka Army Flag1.JPG. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:58, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Image:Sri Lanka Army Flag1.JPG was my bad. However a replacement which is free could in fact replace Image:The Sri Lanka Army Flag And Crest.JPG. Nitraven (talk) 09:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not and actually represent the organization properly. Else, it would be a derivative work. --Hammersoft (talk) 12:59, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
