Moroccan crown for flags

[edit]
Article(s)
Various
Request
High-detail photo, Photo 2, Detailed GIF


I don't think the highly stylised crown on the civil and naval ensigns is correct. Photos of the civil ensign show a much more detailed crown. The problem is that it doesn't appear to be the same crown as on the coat of arms, but instead more of a European-style crown with 5 arches facing the viewer's perspective, topped with a solid pentagram. It does appear to have some of the same decoration with green and red pearls like the crown on the coat of arms though. Would anyone be willing to try and create the more detailed crown for these two flags? Fry1989 eh? 18:11, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

To me you will have to find a better source so that one actually can see how it looks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:21, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anybody else? There are some good SVG elements on Commons like File:Princely Crown of Monaco.svg which shares some of the same basic shapes. Fry1989 eh? 20:52, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That file gives a base to work from. I can take this request but you will have to guide me on how it should look as the sources are very vague. If that is not OK with you just remove my Take otherwise check here for Drafts. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:11, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Fry1989: Now there is a first draft for you to look at. Now you have to tell me what to change more, jewels, if you want something to support the pentagram, and so on. Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:34, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, that's getting close. Enlarging the images best I can, I would say the pearls are bordered in the same gold as the arches of the crown and coloured red like the flag. The leaves have no pearls on them and are also bordered gold and coloured red. The base appears to have 4 green emeralds instead of pearls and diamonds. Fry1989 eh? 16:09, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Fry1989: Now there is a draft to look at. As I'm not sure of what to do I have just done one pearl on the left side and on leaf and also the base.
 Question: On which image can you see those details?
Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:53, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
On the GIF, you can enlarge the image and the pearls and leaves all are red like the flag so they appear see-through. On the first photograph, you can see the 4 green emeralds. Your latest draft is excellent, if you will provide me with the SVG I can finish it up myself. Fry1989 eh? 16:33, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Great Vowel Shift Chart

Hi graphists, for the article English language (a majorly important article with 3 million views per year) I need a schematic illustration of the Great Vowel Shift. I am imaginging something like this: [1]. ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 20:29, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, the signs are all IPA so IPA font should probably be used. It is ɔː. Also a correction needs to be made - the illustration I linked has a vowel too few: the "beat" should be shifted down to where it says bate/bait and the vowel ɛː should be used next to it, then bate/bait and the vowel [a:] should be shifted down a level so that it is not at the same level as ɔː. I hope that makes sense. On page 73 in this book is an illustration that looks like it should[2].·maunus · snunɐɯ· 18:43, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The prose description that will accompany the illustration can be read here: English_language#Development_of_Early_Modern_English.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 18:44, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Maunus: Now you can look at this draft and give me feedback on it, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:25, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looks great to me! But you should probably use the same IPA style triangular length marks after all of the vowels (i.e. the ː istead of :). ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 20:21, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Kelvinsong, Erutuon, and Maunus: OK now it's to much discussion that I'm not in need of, it really confuses. This is not a subject I have knowledge about so I really JUST need you to give me a source and of course needed information to be able to create the graphic. Everything else I'm happy not to see as it's hard to know which is for me or not.
  1. Remove all unnecessary information from above.
  2. Hold your discussions some where else, I do hope you guys understand.
  3. Tell me (when you have agreed) what you want.
  4. Tell me which (one only) font to use.
  5. The link to dropbox is bad.
Give me a message when you are done, I will wait for that, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:31, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en, Maunus, and Kelvinsong: I've moved discussion to Talk:English language § Discussion of graphic. Write further comments there. — Eru·tuon 18:39, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Goran tek-en: Sorry for the confusion earlier. Maunus and I have come up with a final version.

  • Here is a sketch on Dropbox.
  • The words and phonetic symbols in this sketch are shown in the table below.
bite bout
beet ai au boot
beat ɛː ɔː boat
bate
  • As the sketch shows, the phonetic symbols are in a roughly triangular shape (trapezoidal), with arrows between them. The left side of the trapezoid has a shallower angle (about 50°) than the right side (about 80°). Words are positioned on the outside, next to phonetic symbols. The table shows vertical positioning: at same level, etc.; and ai au in center of diagram between and ɔː. (Thus ai au should be slightly lower than in my sketch. Don't follow my sketch in this respect.)
  • The font to use is Gentium Plus.
  • It would be best to make an SVG. The title would be Great Vowel Shift2.svg, because File:Great Vowel Shift.svg is already used.
  • Place in categories c:Category:English language, c:Category:Phonology, and c:Category:Historical linguistics.

Hopefully this is the right amount of information, and let me know if my Dropbox link doesn't work. — Eru·tuon 03:25, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that.
Now there is a new draft to look at.
It has a white background and thin border, tell me if you want that or not, give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:42, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe you could fit it onto this grid as a background? That is the vowel space. . ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 18:48, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would say no border. I don't think we should use the grid, since it might make the diagram more noisy.
Overall very good, but I have realized that proportions are too cramped in my sketch. We need longer arrows, more space between ends of arrows and symbols. This image shows more what I'm looking for, though symbols and arrows are a little too small. ɛː and ɔː should be evenly spaced. Perhaps arrow length should be 2 * height of symbols, and space between ends of arrows and symbols about 1/2 * height of symbols. You can adjust vertical and horizontal positioning of symbols to achieve better proportions. — Eru·tuon 18:57, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I must say that if we don't use the grid then I don't understand the point in having the triangular design at all, it just makes the image bigger than it has to be. The grid can be rendered in an unobtrusive grey for example to provide background without making noise. And tagging the vowels to the grid would be the best way to make sure the proportions and angles are right.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 20:45, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The file "Blank vowel trapezoid.svg" doesn't hold the angels you gave me before, and if you knew about "Blank vowel trapezoid.svg" you could have given it to me at once. I do have other stuff to do.
  • I have made one version according to the "Blank vowel trapezoid.svg" trapezoid. The trapezoid is of course not visible.
  • An image just to show the difference between the two versions difference. Reddish is the first version black is trapezoid.
  • This was done before the last three comments and now we are back to having discussions and I don't know what to do. Please come to ONE intend and tell me that. I do understand that things change as the work progress and you have an image to look at, that is no problem. What do you want me to do? --Goran tek-en (talk) 11:02, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think the black trapezoid based version is better. I will let it be up to you as the graphist to decide whether it makes more sense to have the grid in the background or not. Thanks a lot for your work and I apologize for the confusion.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 14:36, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about the confusion; Maunus and I don't always agree, and we're both giving directions, which is a bad situation. We need to discuss further in another place, and notify you if we come to an agreement. — Eru·tuon 16:37, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Maunus and Erutuon: Of course you will come to an agreement and I will wait for you to get back to me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:35, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, after some discussion we've come to an agreement.
  • Three versions: rectangular (as in image posted earlier), trapezoidal, trapezoidal with grid as background.
  • No border in all three versions.
  • Filenames: rectangular as Great Vowel Shift2a.svg, trapezoidal as Great Vowel Shift2b.svg, trapezoidal with grid as Great Vowel Shift2c.svg.
Your earlier draft of the rectangular version looked good. I suppose you may not have it saved, and have to remake it. Sorry about that.
  • The draft of the trapezoidal version looks good. A few modifications: more space between arrows and phonetic symbols. I think the space should be about 1/2 * height of symbols. Try removing bolding; I think the diagram might look better with normal font weight.
  • After you've modified the spacing and font weight of the trapezoidal version, try adding the grid in very light gray. It should be inconspicuous or unobtrusive. The phonetic symbols should be in the corners of the grid. Not sure if the lines of the grid should intersect the symbols, or be inside or outside of them. Use your artistic judgement, or create several versions and let me decide. — Eru·tuon 04:32, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Now you can look at the three different drafts. I have tried to make the them as similar as I can so there is a familiarity between them if you use them together.
Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 14:12, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Shape and proportions look really good now. Some tweaks:
  • Move ai au in rectangular version to center, between ɛː , and of course reshape arrow to fit.
  • Rectangular diagram should have the same phonetic symbols and words as trapezoidal, just in a different shape. (So use rather than æː, delete bait, etc.)
I think that's all. I'm not totally sure if the grid version looks good as it is (grids usually use dots, like this chart of Italian vowels), but if we want it changed, we'll ask for it later. — Eru·tuon 19:02, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
New drafts. I have no knowledge of how the trapezoidal should be used but in the Italian it seems as the positioning of the vowel means something. So maybe you have to check out that, how it should be used.
Give me feedback and tell me which to upload, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:01, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The images look great! Upload them under the filenames you're already using, and place in the categories c:Category:History of the English language, c:Category:Phonology, and c:Category:Historical linguistics. The reason for uploading all three is that Maunus and I agreed to use the rectangular version for now, and then ask editors to comment on which version they prefer. — Eru·tuon 20:15, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks! Where it says "West" it should say "West Germanic" and it should have two branches - Low Franconian and Anglo-Frisian - Anglo-Frisian then leads to Old English and Old Frisian, Low Franconian leads to Dutch, Flemish and Low German.
- here is the tree that your tree will be replacing. Maybe you can find a way of using color shape the tree to make it more graphically appealing.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 19:51, 7 March 2015

@Maunus: The file that you say this will replace doesn't have the same content to me, am I misunderstanding something?
It's hard to make this kind of chart graphically appealing. If you add color or shapes there should be a meaning for it. I also try to make my work here so it works as well as possible for people who has color issues, it's very hard to make that work for most though. Now there is three different drafts for you to look at and give me feedback on, thanks.
  1. gray
  2. color lines
  3. color text --Goran tek-en (talk) 19:45, 9 March 2015
No, you are right the content is more detailed in the one I want, so I would like both a more detailed content and a clearer graphic representation to help the reader. I can see from the tree that I was unclear in my description. From West Germanic there are only two nodes: one leads to Anglo-Frisian, the other leads to Low Franconian. Anglofrisian then connects to Old Frisian (which in turn connects to Frisian) and Old English. So where it now says Frisian, you should put the Old Frisian and there should be a level below Old Frisian saying just "Frisian". And it should only say Old English once in the tree, namely in the main Old English node descending from Anglo Frisian, Old English then splits into Anglian and West Saxon (yaou have an extra -a after Saxon that needs to go). So the Anglo-frisian node should be an additional level in between West Germanic and Old-English/Old Frisian, not a separate node out to the left as you have now. I also think maybe removing the entire North Germanic node with its daughters (Scandinavian etc.) will make the tree more focused on the West Germanic branch. Instead from the root proto-Germanic you can have three lines, one leading to West Germanic, one to North Germanic and one to East Germanic - then latter too without any further nodes going off them. I think the grey tones is probably best. Also try to remove where it says "Anglo-Danish" so that Northumbrian just goes straight down to Scots. ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 20:02, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think Goran tek-en is going to find your explanation confusing, so I've created a table. If there are any changes to be made, best to display them in the table. — Eru·tuon 20:18, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Goran tek-en (talk · contribs) Two inaccuracies in the tree have been brought to my attention, and I hope you can help me fix them.
  1. One is that I have accidentally omitted the third branch of West Germanic which is German. That is a third branch should go down from the West Germanic node to "Old High German" which should then have a single node down to "German".
  2. The second is that "Flemish" and the line going down to it from "Low Saxon" should be removed.

Does this make sense? Or should I try to show a diagram with the changes?·maunus · snunɐɯ· 19:51, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Maunus: Look at this new draft, but should "Flemish" be a word by itself? Give me feedback, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 20:58, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The addition of the German branch is good, but "Flemish" should dissappear altogether (it is actually just a form of Dutch) so that there are only two branches under "Low Franconian". One more thing I am thinking is if we could have the modern languages on the base line so that "Frisian", "German", "Dutch" and "Modern English" are on the same horizontal line on the bottom (similar to this image [4]). That would require making some of the nodes a bit longer. ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 21:08, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Maunus: Is this what you want? --Goran tek-en (talk) 13:45, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is. Could you put Scots down on the bottom horizontal line as well. Then just upload it as a new version of the one that is already in the article. Thanks!·maunus · snunɐɯ· 15:53, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think V4711 Victor has a point.

William Williams-Hope - Heraldry

[edit]

I found only one poor picture :
Picture : Sotheby's, A large French two-handled silver tray

Article(s)

William Hope (banquier), and Hôtel de Monaco

Request

Hello,
excuse my very low level of english.
I have a real problem :
William Williams-Hope (1802-1855), son of John Williams-Hope and family of Henry Hope (1735-1811), was british. He was extremly rich and had many houses in England and in France. He was living in France most of the time and had french naturalization.
I would like to put his heraldry in William Hope (banquier) and in his Paris’ home (hôtel de Monaco) on Wikipedia fr. Unfortunatly his heraldry is only in english without picture. I have no answer from french Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop . I think it is because of the langage.

His heraldry is :
Hope (as borne by William Williams Hope, of London esq.) Azure a chevron or, between three bezants, within a bordure of the second, quartering Williams, viz. argent a greyhound courant sable between three Cornish choughs proper within a bordure engrailed azure charged with four crosses crosslet or, and as many bezants alternatly. Crests – First, a globe fractured proper charged with an anchor sable over the globe a rainbow, for Hope ; second, a cubit arm erect, habited sable charged with a cross crosslet or, and cuffed of the last, the band holding two sprigs of oak in saltire proper acorned or, on the hand a Cornish chough statant, also proper for Williams.
URL Encyclopaedia of heraldry: or General armory of England, Scotland, and Ireland, comprising a registry of all armorial bearings from the earliest to the present time, including the late grants by the College of arms.

Can you help me and make it ? Thank you very mutch.

Please change the following to fix typos and apply a consistent variant of English: "Genuary 16, 1944" to "January 16, 1944"; "Open City" to "Open city"; " "Nov. 1st, 1944" to "November 1, 1944"; "Territories lost between 1943, Dec. and 1944, Sep." to "Territories lost between Dec. 1943 and Sep. 1944"; "ITALIAN SOCIAL REPUBLIC DURING ITALIAN CIVIL WAR" to "THE ITALIAN SOCIAL REPUBLIC DURING THE ITALIAN CIVIL WAR"; "Territories under German Operational Zones (military administration)" to "German Operational Zones (military administration)"; "Partisans Republics and Free Zones and territories held by Yugoslav partisans (1944)" to "Partisan Republics, Free Zones and territories held by Yugoslav partisans (1944)";
Change note 1 to: "Rome was declared an "open city" on August 14, 1943 by Badoglio's government. This was recognized by the Italian Social Republic and the Third Reich, although Germany de facto occupied the city and violated its status by using Rome to host troops. The Allies never recognized the open city."
Change note 2 to: "The Province of Ljubljana was annexed by Italy until 1943 and then occupied by Germany until 1945"
Change note 3 to: "The Province of Fiume, annexed by Italy from 1941, fell under Croat civil administration and German military control within the Operational Zone of the Adriatic Littoral in 1943"
