Canadian Coat of Arms

 * Article(s): Canada, Arms of Canada
 * Request:
 * Please can you make an accurate rendering of Canada's arms. It is a noticeably missing feature in the country's infobox. -- RaviC (talk) 11:02, 24 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Graphist opinion(s):
 * What is inaccurate about it? -- AntiCompositeNumber (Ring me) 18:08, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Other people at the talk page for the Canada article view it as an inauthentic interpretation of the coat of arms. If it's possible to make a version of the arms which resembles the official version a bit more, that would be great.  But if it's something that will be considerably time consuming, don't worry about it. --RaviC (talk) 19:28, 27 June 2017 (UTC)


 * RaviC -- In traditional European heraldry, the definitive reference is the textual blazon, there can be multiple equivalent artistic renderings of a coat of arms, and anyone who makes a new artistic rendering based on the blazon owns the copyright to that particular artistic rendering. The bottom line is that the closer something approaches to the official government artistic rendering (taking that as its source rather than the textual blazon), the more likely it is to be a copyright violation...

Map of Vilnius Ghetto

 * Article(s):
 * Vilnius Ghetto, Jacob Gens (currently at WP:FAC)


 * Request:
 * Hello, could someone create a map (preferably in SVG) of the Vilnius Ghetto? We currently have only File:JewishGhettoPlaque Vilnius (cutted).JPG which is not exactly helpful and informative and very well could be non-free. Sources:


 * 1) Main source - http://www.penki.lt/Geto-planas.media?id=169726
 * 2) Detail of the larger ghetto - http://media.bernardinai.lt/o/3ef5bac89551e42e03b6f377ca2620761b72ac08.jpg
 * 3) Detail of the area (in 1808, so years before ghetto) - https://s2.15min.lt/images/photos/2015/05/27/big/grunerto_1808_m_plano_fragmentas_is_interneto-5565d91a18df8.jpg
 * 4) Map with some other "points of interest" (houses and streets are based on current conditions, so won't exactly match pre-war plans) - http://revilna.org/map.html
 * 5) Side-by-side comparison of ghetto plan and current streets: http://www.deathcamps.org/occupation/pic/bigvilniusghettomap.jpg
 * 6) Basic schematic map - http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/images/pol8_00070.jpg (same with descriptions in English: http://cherlvin.nfshost.com/HT/MF/L/viln-f1.html)

I don't think detail of individual houses is needed. So I think it should be a cross between #1 and #6 with some items borrowed from #4. Thank you! -- Renata (talk) 14:29, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Thank you, FOX 52! Please let me know if you need any help (in research, etc.) with this. Appreciate it. Renata (talk) 16:47, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * can you take a look and let me know of additions/changes (crop it to show just the specific neighborhood, street titles in Hebrew or English etc..) - FOX 52 (talk) 00:26, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, I saw the map - thank you, but some real life business is keeping me away from a computer. I will reply as soon as I am able. Renata (talk) 10:04, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, so I sat down this morning to figure out the street names, but then became frustrated that the schematic map is so very... schematic, decided to tinker with it in Inkscape (mainly narrowing streets), and ten hours, one headache, and two Advil pills later I came up with this File:Map of Vilna Ghetto.png. Not happy with it (street names are hard to read and border is all f**ked up and SVG is not rendering properly on Wikipedia - is there a fix for that?), but that's the best I can do with my "superior" Inkscape abilities. Thank you, FOX 52. It would have not happened without you. I owe you some cookies. Renata (talk) 23:29, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Now there are two drafts for you to check. Give me feedback
 * 56
 * 38 --Goran tek-en (talk) 21:55, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The 38th Signal Battalion DUI looks great. The 56th Field Artillery Brigade DUI (1972) should be gold, not bronze. Artillery colors are gold and scarlet. In practice, brass is used for DUIs and this one needed some polishing. See File:5th U.S. Army Artillery Group DUI.svg for example which was extracted from Field Artillery. --21lima (talk) 22:18, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for telling me about the colors, would have been even better if you wrote it in the request, I have zero knowledge on this.
 * The colors in that file is not the same as you find when you search the web for those colors so I have made a draft that you can look at and tell me which version it should be.
 * This file File:5th U.S. Army Artillery Group DUI.svg is so huge in px that I can't zoom anything in Inkscape. Would be great if you could make it smaller so one can work on it in e.g. Inkscape.
 * Once we have decided on the colors I will need the following for both 38th and 56th, thanks.
 * - Name of the file
 * - Description
 * - Category/ies at commons --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:44, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * 5th_U.S._Army_Artillery_Group_DUIcolors is correct. Beautiful work!

Now working
 * It's really hard which license one should use, but to me I should use the one I have chosen. I have made this illustration, not the US military. I have made it based on a photograph of a badge which is their.
 * Now you can find them here; Commons:file:38th Signal Battalion DUI.svg, Commons:file:56th Field Artillery Brigade DUI (1972).svg
 * What do you mean by "Now working", as above?
 * If you are happy with this please but out the "resolved" code, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:04, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am very happy. You did an excellent job. See similar works such as Commons:File:55th Support Battalion insignia.svg for licensing.

WikiProject Warriors icon
Thanks a lot. Another small request, please resize this svg image to make it the same size as File:WikiProject - Warriors.svg and upload it as a new version at the same location where you uploaded the image previously which is File:WikiProject Warriors.svg. The large size of the svg image is messing with the design of the WikiProject. Thanks again, King Prithviraj II (talk) 11:56, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅ --SweetCanadianMullet (talk) 15:18, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't know if you got me, I actually meant that the size of the svg, image, that is, it's length and breadth be reduced in equal proportion, similar to the measures of File:WikiProject - Warriors.svg. On our main page, its a bit too large, while the old one (the image linked in this message) fitted perfectly. Its pixels were 199 × 115, compared to the current logo's 1,913 × 765. While it might not be exactly same, I request for the image's proportion to be bought down close to the measure 1913 x 765. Hope you don't mind my constant messages :D King Prithviraj II (talk) 16:54, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅, let me know if that will work. --SweetCanadianMullet (talk) 17:04, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is ok, thanks ! King Prithviraj II (talk) 17:07, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
