I will withdrawal the request here if it is accepted on Wikimedia Commons first. There doesn't appear to be much take-up in recent months on either page, so I wanted to cover all bases. --Hazhk (talk) 19:19, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wiki-barnstar of Sarawak Hi @Night Lantern, I made a slightly different one. My mum worked for a company that made ribbons. They didn't produce any flag-ribbons like the Sabah one. Ribbons are straight, with straight "lane" colours. The Sabah design features a clunky Sovjet design ribbon holder. I think it's much more elegant to use the sun/star in the Sarawak flag as a means to hide the connecting pieces, as they do with crowns on official medals. I used a ribbon that is clearly picturing the colours of the Sarawak flag, and left out the fabric-mimicing elements, as they disappear anyways when you use them like above. The scribbles can only make the distuinguished sign less brightly. Groetjes, Peter (talk) 14:08, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, may someone help me doing the illustration for the combination of the CPV flag and the SRV national flag symbol according to this illustration (picture 3b and 4a on the second row)? -- Hwi.padam21:58, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's a CoA of the Town Council. The saltire with "alternating" raguly (sticking out parts) seems to be derived from the late 14th Century ¿nobleman? Austell, Sheriff of Cornwall, as seen/refelected upon on the CoA HMS ST Austell Bay, Royal Navy. The AFC and RFC (rugby) of St Austell use a regular "paired" raguly, looking like bunches of arrow shafts and feathers, pointing at the middle of the saltire cross.

I would like to translate these graphics to Turkish, and I see there are a dozen other languages with this article so I hope it would be useful to them too. For example in Ukraine the forthcoming installation of 200 MW by DTEK is very important for stabilizing the grid and reducing blackouts.
Feel free to adjust if easier for you or if you think will look better - obviously the wiggles in the graph and styles of buildings don't need to be exactly the same. Please ask if unsure.

I've uploaded chart B2, above. I've captured the concepts without the squiggles. As I look at it now, I think I should change the big green-to-red-to-green rectangles to a smooth gradient because the storage-to-unloading transitions don't change instantaneously at the vertical dashed lines. I will await word from you Chidgk1, as well as from Femke because of her interest in that article. —RCraig09 (talk)22:46, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've just noticed that inactive User:Wikichesterdit did make an SVG of Graphic A. It apparently hasn't been uploaded to Commons. —RCraig09 (talk)23:40, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@RCraig09 Great - you have satisfied this request so this can now be closed - I think we can now get rid of the existing png. We can discuss further improvements to graphics on the talk page of the article Chidgk1 (talk) 08:18, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I hope I'm in the right place. The helicopter article is missing a decent diagram illustrating a typical helicopter transmissions. It needs a schematic diagram of a typical transmission. A photo of the item is here:
The schematic can be fairly simple: it needs to show:
a) the three cylindrical shafts (axles) you see in that photo: diagonal shaft at lower-right; horizontal shaft in upper right; and vertical shaft (upper left).
The gears in the schematic do not need to be elaborate 3D CAD-CAM renderings: a sketch of a cone shape with several parallel lines indicating the teeth should be fine (as seen in Beve_gear_schematic.png).
The diagram can omit all the other stuff: the ball bearings; the outer transmission housing (case).
Ideally, the diagram would be from an isometric viewpoint (like the photo); but if that is too time-consuming, a simpler "side view" will be fine. Anything is better than what is there now ... nothing :-)
I guess SVG vector is the best format. I can add textual labels/arrows to the finished product, it is the gears and shafts that I cannot draw.
Could someone please vectorise this JPG File and Convert it from JPG to SVG. The autograph is of a very prominent personality and would look better as SVG. I would appreciate if someone could take out their valuable time and work on this file. I ain't sure if it's possible or not because the JPG seems blurred, but if someone could do it (if possible) it would be great.
@Cremastra First of all, I can't thank you enough for your contribution in this file. Secondly, It's looking good but I think, if you could just remove the text in Hindi Below the signature under the brackets and increase the size of only the signature a bit, it would look much better. Please try doing whenever your time allows. Once again, Thanks AstuteFlicker (talk) 01:42, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cremastra I can't thank you enough for your efforts you have made on my request here. You are really great editor and contributor. Can I reach you out on your talk page if I am there with any other requests in future? AstuteFlicker (talk) 16:46, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, but I'm not super adept with Inkscape, so you'd be better off asking here where you'll get more eyes and experience. Cheers, Cremastra ‹ u — c › 17:08, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I was wondering if someone can kindly please vectorize the original naval jack of Finland? The flag is a square blue cross on a white background with a saltire of red and yellow stripes shown behind the cross but in front of the white background. I have included the original admiral's flag of Finland to use as a reference as this flag is the one that the naval jack is based on. I also included the standard of the Regent of Finland to use as a base for the red and yellow colors so the request can be done more quickly. I'll be grateful to see it done. Thanks in advance!--78.152.226.46 (talk) 22:32, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've made a version based on the presentation by John Vaughan in this video on YouTube: Australian Maritime and Heritage Flags, by: Naval Historical Society of Australia, March 11, 2024, at timestamp 47:06. Vaughan shows a flag of different size and colour than the one shown on the commercial website (a company he owned in the past). The "commercial" flag is leaning towards a purple indigo, this one is a ligher blue, but darker than the scottish ones. I've also used the standard size which is in line with the one he shows. Later on in the video Vaughan shows the Scottish-Australian heritage flag, and you can see that the dimensions of flag and stars are different. As the design is pretty basic, and Vaughan says that anyone can fly the flags, I presume that this is flag can be shared without restrictions.Groetjes, Peter (talk) 14:16, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I was wondering if someone can kindly please vectorize the flag of Yerbas Buenas in Chile? I have included the original flag of Chile to use as a reference so the request can be done more quickly as this flag is the what the flag of Yerbas Buenas seems to be based on. The Yerbas Buenas flag uses the three vertical stripes from the original Chilean flag with the colors from top to bottom of blue, white and yellow but including the letters "YB" and some other objects (including a sword crossed with something else, a leaf?, a feather?) in the white stripe. I'll be grateful to see it done. Thanks in advance!--78.152.226.46 (talk) 20:32, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Could the slogan please be cropped out from the image? The university doesn't appear to use that slogan as part of their logo anymore. Graham (talk) 00:25, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I was wondering if someone can kindly please vectorize the flag of Bissau, the capital city of Guinea-Bissau? It uses a Gyronny pattern that is typically used by Portuguese cities as Guinea-Bissau was previously a Portuguese colony. The flag uses a Gyronny pattern of black and red with the coat of arms of the city placed in front. I have included the former flag of Dili, the capital city of East Timor to use as a reference as this flag used Gyronny pattern while East Timor was a colony of Portgual. I also included a version of the Gyronny pattern flag of Ceuta, Spain that does not have a coat of arms on it to use as a base so the request can be done more quickly. I'll be grateful to see it done. Thanks in advance!--78.152.226.46 (talk) 22:52, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Time for some feedback, I've been reading and searching for answers to questions that popped up.
This is a Portugese flag for Bissau with the crown of a capital city of one of their colonies. I would be surprised if this flag and Coat of Arms (CoA) were still used after 1974. They were symbols of a colonisor dictatorship, that was driven out of the country by over a decade of guerilla war, and we're talking about the official symbols of the capital. I presume that the name of the flag should be something like File:Flag of Bissau (1941-1974).svg. 1941 Being the year the capital was moved from Bolama to Bissau. 1974 Is the year of the downfall of the dictatorship and Guinea's independence. That would imply that these flags and CoAs should be removed from infoboxes of over 45 different language Bissau pages, and replaced by the new flag and CoA if they exist.
The correctness of the crown on the provided Bissau Coat of Arms.svg was disputed, so I searched its origin. This particular crown was used on a CoA of the Quebeqois town of Saint Lambert, which looks a lot different than the official design. If you're used to that version, you might not recognise our alternative design as being correct. But in order to establish whether a design is correct, we need to check if it does fit its description. To my surprise the Saint Lambert alternative design did fit the description.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find a reliable source for the provided Bissau design, probably due to my non existing Portugese language skills. I did find just one blog that talked about a red tower and two facing women with turbans, but it didn't cite any sources. FOTW (Flags Of The World) is generally not a reliable source, but in this case, a statement is posted which mentions a book (lgh66) about overseas CoAs as the source for the original picture.
Book: Armorial do Ultramar Português (in English: Arms of Overseas Portugal) by F. P. de Almeida Langhans, publisher: Agência Geral das Colónias, Lisboa (Portugal) Language: Portuguese, first edition date: 1966.
The pictures I've seen on the web, have a similar style like the Bissau CoA, so there's a good chance this is indeed our original source. If we take this picture as a good enough source, the provided svg's tower is much coarser than the original CoA, but I guess it would still fit the description. The crown design is definately different than the usual Portugese capital of a colony design on Commons, of which we have a few designs available. So, if only for consistency reasons, I still think we'd better use one of those.
We cannot simply ask the city of Bissau what their current flag and CoA are, as they don't have a website. If we have a team of correspondence, and they think it's important enough to find out, they might send a letter to the city council, or try to get in contact through the national regime?
@Groetjes, Peter: Here is my help - Since 1930, the rules of Portuguese heraldry have been rigidly established and the flag discussed here complies with them. You can read about them in the Portuguese article on local heraldry. I also have two fairly reliable sources for the appearance of the flag and the year 1947 as the adoption of the coat of arms and de facto establishment of the appearance of the flags.[1][2] In Portugal, there are two types of municipal flags for different uses. In addition to the typical rectangular flag, there is also a square banner. I do not know, however, how to interpret the golden crown, specially dedicated to the coat of arms of the capital city of Lisbon, which breaks the above-mentioned rules, but since Bissau was the capital in a colony, there may be some sense behind it. I am providing a picture of such a banner proposed for the entire colony of Guinea in 1932. I found relatively little about Bissau, which is probably due in part to the city's short history compared to other colonial cities such as Luanda.
Thank you @Swiãtopôłk for this great addition. I like learning a bit more about these foreign heraldic systems. The translation options of Firefox have evolved so much that the Portugese article can be easily read. That means there's more available info on future topics. And now I know that the proposed gold and black banner you show, wears the crown of a colony, with the red Portugese crosses and armillary spheres that shows they are a seafaring nation on a holy mission to conquer the world...
» The first publication date of 1947-01-27 means the name should say 1947-1974. The first source didn't load (not safe enough to my software's liking) but the second shows an exact copy of the below-left cutout from the flag, from which the provided by request CoA was derived. The same flying flag (post/buildings) and parade banner (ceremonial square variant with tassels) picture was posted on reddit. The original image might be from the mentioned 1966 book of Arms of Overseas Portugal from the General Agency of the Colonies. I've made a version of the banner (see above).
» It indeed looks like the same heraldic rules applied to colonies, so to speak being recognised as "countries within the realm". The Portugese colony category contains CoAs of colony capitals that had the same crown as Lisbon, Luanda also the Military Order of the Tower and Sword like Lisbon. I saw only one silver crown, on a 1962 São Tomé first CoA, which changed to a second with golden crown (no date mentioned).[3] That's puzzling as well. Maybe the rules weren't applied strictly all the time? Maybe this correction, and the non acceptance of banner and flag designs on de:Flagge Portugals, show that the strict line was dominant after all.

Let's see if the request is considered to be done. I'll ask for the year change in the CoA/flag name. And I'll edit the text and will check categories on Commons. Thanks again, Groetjes, Peter (talk) 10:41, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I think we can consider this done though if anyone is on contact with the government of Guinea-Bissau, they do need to check with them to see if modern-day Bissau city has a city flag separate to its Portuguese colonial design. Once contact is established with the Guinea-Bissau, contact with the city council is easily established shortly thereafter because both are involved with administrating Bissau city. Should I mark this as done yet?--93.107.203.142 (talk) 22:22, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Coat of arms and flags of the Georgian Border Police
Hi, I know this seems like a big one but as soon as the first file listed here is done, the rest all fall into place very quickly. Today, my request is for someone to vectorize the coat of arms of the Border Police of Georgia as well as four flags used by the Border Police that display the coat of arms. I have included some other flags which use the designs and symbols on the requested flags (and the coat of arms too) to use as bases so the request can be done even more quickly. Thanks in advance.--93.107.203.142 (talk) 20:56, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, because the colors on this version are much closer to those in the official source (particularly the blue background, which is a darker as opposed to a lighter shade of blue). Also, while the font is close, it is definitely a different style from what's on the Air Force website. It should be possible to directly pull the font from the Air Force source, and vectorize it, but that is something above my personal skill level.

Please could someone create an SVG version of the current Swiss Guard flag? Notable changes from the former flag is the swapping of the blue and red stripes in the top right corner, and the coat of arms of the current commander in the centre. Also the shield in the bottom left corner ought to be the same colour as the blue in the stripes. Thank you! -- Mangwanani(talk)15:17, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
