Hear ye! Excel .xlsx spreadsheets that automatically generate XML code for .SVG graphs

 * User:RCraig09: All well and good, but this is for proprietary software, which it is preferable not to promote. Can you do the same for LibreOffice Calc? Regards, DesertPipeline (talk) 12:21, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, can you trim the template you use here to remove the whitespace below it? DesertPipeline (talk) 12:23, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your observation. I chose Excel because it's the most-used spreadsheet program, not to "promote" it. (Before today, I had never heard of LibreOffice.) Experimentally I imported some of my .xlsx Excel (Excel-for-Mac) files into Apple's "Numbers" spreadsheet, and there was some undesirable difference in text rendering, and complete loss of the "Data... validation" function, for starters. Making new families of spreadsheets would be very time-consuming, and would require duplication (triplication...) of effort with each improvement. I don't see this project on my horizon at this time, though you have brought up a good point. At least the Excel spreadsheets are importable to at least some free software. — RCraig09 (talk) 14:55, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Liberal Democratic Party of Australia logo vectorized

 * Article(s):

 * Request:
 * Currently there is no .svg version of the lib dems logo avaliable that I can find, would be greatly appreciated if someone could make a vector version of it for the wikipedia page

Royal Standards of Prince Philip (1951–1952)

 * Article(s):
 * List of British flags, List of Scottish flags, Royal Standard of the United Kingdom.


 * Request:
 * Could someone please an create SVG file of the Royal Standard used by Prince Philip in most of the United Kingdom from 1951–1952, as seen here, which is effectively a combination of the first two images provided above. And could someone also create an SVG file of the Royal Standard used by Prince Philip in Scotland alone from 1951–1952, which would be mostly the same as the one in the link, only with the third above image instead of the second one. Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 19:07, 9 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Discussion:
 * This is the standard of Queen Elizabeth back when she was Heiress-presumptive and Duchess of Edinburgh from 1949 to 1952. Men do not impale their arms with those of their wives.
 * So what are you saying here, exactly? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 02:04, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The standards you linked to and want made belongs to Elizabeth and not Philip. If you still want them I can still make. Sodacan (talk) 02:46, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Alright then, yes, that'd be great. And thanks for clearing that up. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:44, 10 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I believe that standard is a hoax. Sodacan is correct that male consorts do not impale their arms in that manner. A royal standard is a banner of the bearer's coat of arms, and Prince Philip's coat of arms were first File:Arms of Philip Mountbatten (1947-1949).svg and then File:Arms of Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.svg. As a consort, Prince Philip would have only received the right to a personal standard once the then Princess Elizabeth became Queen. That is similar to how Lady Diana and the Duchess of Cornwall did/do not have personal standards, until Prince Charles becomes King.  Fry1989 eh? 16:03, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Royal Standard of Queen Adelaide (1830–1849)

 * Article(s):
 * List of British flags, Royal Standard of the United Kingdom


 * Request:
 * Can someone please create an SVG file of the Royal Standard of Queen Adelaide (wife of King William IV), used from 1830 to 1849, as seen on this page here. It would involve combining various elements from both of the above images. Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 18:29, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Translation of Prince Philip's family tree

 * Article(s):
 * Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh


 * Request:
 * Please translate the family tree of Prince Philip. --Leyo 08:55, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

from, to or in a similar way, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 16:33, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Discussion: You would have to provide the translation here;
 * Unfortunately, I am not at all a royal expert and not even British or a native speaker. Therefore, there would be a risk of an incorrect translation, especially when it comes to acronyms. I assume that there are some British users around here. --Leyo 08:36, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Celia Homeford has completed and proof-read the translations. Hence, the family tree figure is ready for being created in English. --Leyo 15:02, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

But it might be some time before I actually can work on it. If you think to much time has passed just ping me, thanks. --always ping me--Goran tek-en (talk) 17:21, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Now you can find it here Commons:file:Elizabeth_II_Philipp-en.svg. If you are happy with this please put the code  on this request so it can be archived, thanks. ✅ --always ping me--Goran tek-en (talk) 12:10, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Request: Transparent SVG

 * Reason:
 * for compositing imagery on Wikipedia; just as how the PNG and GIF files are currently used


 * Request:
 * Please create a minimalist transparent SVG file (ie. a 1x1 SVG transparent raster; or some other encoding that is more efficient (undefined size transparent only file?) ; ex. a [[file:transparent.svg]] -- 67.70.27.180 (talk) 03:06, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

✅ Leaving the file completely undefines yields an unwanted SVG logo of sorts, as it turns out, so I just used a 1x1 document size. Pbrks (talk) 03:29, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
