The Graphics Lab is a project to improve the graphical content of the Wikimedia projects. Requests for image improvements can be added to the workshop pages: Illustrations, Photographs and Maps. For questions or suggestions one can use the talk pages: Talk:Graphics Lab, Talk:Illustrations, Talk:Photographs and Talk:Maps.
This specific page is the requests page for the illustration workshop. Anyone can make a request for an illustration to be improved or created for a Wikipedia article. Clicking the "New Request" button will bring you to a standard template for submitting requests, as well as general advice that should be followed.

Advice to requesters

All requests:

- If you are requesting assistance with a copyright or fair-use image, don't display it on this page; place {{GLNF|Example.png|caption|align=left}} to create a link to it. Do not add the File: extension. Our fair-use policy does not allow displaying fair-use images out of their articles on ANY account.
Please check back regularly to see if progress has been made or if any additional questions need to be answered before the request can be completed.
If a request is done to your satisfaction, please mark it with {{resolved}}.

SVG requests:

Make sure your request can actually BE vectorized. Note that vector drawings are not suitable for certain applications. We generally use SVG format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such. Certain things, photographs especially, are totally impossible to vectorize.
Per our non-free content policy, vectorization of copyrighted images is not permitted. If a vectorized non-free image is desired, seek out such an image from the copyright holder.

I understand the reasoning behind this, and I'm not going to argue about it, but I'd like to ask a few questions to clear up any confusion: why is a PNG to SVG request on multiple images on character pages, such as the Yoshi and Elmer Fudd ones, when they aren't free images? Why are there SVG images on characters with presumably non-free images, such as Mr. Krabs or Marvin the Martian? Thank you for your time. NintenBOUND (talk) 13:50, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Antarctic flags

Request

Please make this historical New Zealand flag [1]. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 20:08, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want the flag background to be slightly grey per the flag displayed or to make it just as blue as the canton? Hwi.padam 21:41, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hwi.padam Change the color, but while the flag probably had various shades of blue from the beginning, it's now faded. I think #1e3850 would be appropriate. It would also be good to change a few details of the inscription, "1" is completely different, there is less space between the beginning and end of the lower inscription and the end of the material, the holes in the "o" are less rounded and there is less space between the letters and dots. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 19:58, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will change the color and try my best on the inscription. Since it was pretty much a handmade flag, it is practically impossible to find an exactly identical font. I will modify the paths for best resembling the original ensign. Hwi.padam 22:39, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

I don't see the point of making an extra version of the flag.

The only differences I see, are

the adjustment of colours of the Union Jack to the official colours
the sea shell colouring

These differences can simply be explained by differences in technique, preference or style of the drawers. They do not point to a change in the flag itself. A simple and general referral to WP:FOTW (not a reliable source in itself) is not enough evidence to suggest the flags are different.

I don't see the point in updating this flag. [FOTW: Colonial flags of Macau] state that a blue background wasn't used before 1967. And that this design should never be used as the official flag of Portugese Macau.

I don't see the point in replacing the CoA.

Both versions of the CoA are made by the same person, referring to FOTW. FOTW refers on the Macao - 1967 Colonial Flag Proposal page to a pdf with the official CoA, as stated in 1935. This looks pretty much like the current version.
Your "correct version" has white and blue shields that are more than half shields, which looks to me as being highly unusual, and the white and blue waves go all over the place and have different widths, while these should be a regular wave pattern and have the same dimensions. That makes this "correct" version worse than the current one.
The Colonial flags of Macao page on FOTW does not show any sources, but it specifically says that this is not an official flag at all, and should never be used as an official flag. Locals call it the Financial Times flag of Macao, because a tv-program used it.

So if there should be taken any action it is:

finding reliable sources to prove the official status of the flags in time.
If there are none: removal of the flags
