@Snow Lion Fenian: Request taken. for design 3, despite SVG transformations being a pain in the ass. QuickQuokka [talk • contribs] 13:06, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Snow Lion Fenian: Done but I need author and copyright/licensing information before I upload. QuickQuokka [talk • contribs] 13:41, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Preferably just edit my Commons sandbox with the information and ping me afterwards. QuickQuokka [talk • contribs] 14:29, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- @QuickQuokka: Thank you, and sorry for the delay in responding. Well, all three designs originate from BBC Derby. According to the original website, the designer of the original concept was Leon Summers, with BBC Derby modifying his submission to create what was known as "Design 3". Which is also exactly what BBC Derby did with Martin Enright's submission, modifying it to create "Design 1" (which was of course chosen as Derbyshire's flag). Hence, I'd recommend giving the new file the same CR tag as "Design 1". Hope this helps. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:29, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Snow Lion Fenian: The description page of the file says it's released to the public domain by the author, and supposedly also the author (I don't really believe the uploader is the author), but there's no source to verify that unfortunately. QuickQuokka [talk • contribs] 16:25, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- @QuickQuokka: Good point, and profuse apologies for the excessively long delay in getting back to you. Well, I certainly don't pretend to be an expert on CR licenses on Wikipedia. The impression I've gotten is that the uploader wanted to waive their rights to the file, but went about it the wrong way, resulting in using a license that creates a slight bit of confusion. After considering it all, I'd now recommend giving the new file the "Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported", in order to cover the same bases while making it clear that the uploader is not the original designer. Hope this helps. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 18:43, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

I was wondering if someone (it can be more than one user) can kindly please vectorize the flags and logos of the Albanian, Austrian, Brazilian, Canadian and Chilean Olympic Committees? Almost all of these are shown on the "Flags of the World" website and are found in the following links. Albanian National Olympic Committee https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/al@oly.html#for, Austrian Olympic Committee https://www.fotw.info/flags/at@oly.html, Brazilian Olympic Committee https://www.fotw.info/flags/br@oc.html, Canadian Olympic Committee https://www.fotw.info/flags/ca@coc.html and Croatian Olympic Committee https://www.fotw.info/flags/hr@oly.html. The exception is the Chilean Olympic Committee but that is just the logo (which is already on Commons) placed in the middle of the middle of a white background. This request is already big enough as it is so I won't spent too long explaining though the empty files help with what flags and logos need to be done and the links show what they look like. I an happy to provide further explanation if needed. This request is to celebrate the Olympic Games which starts today. Thanks in advance!--78.152.240.245 (talk) 22:00, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Request to vectorize the hypothetical blue ensign of prince edward island.
[edit]-
It is proposed that the Hong Kong coat of arms in the white disc be replaced with the badge of Prince Edward Island, based on this pre-1997 Hong Kong Blue Ensign.
-
The pattern for the Prince Edward Island badge was taken from this former Governor's flag and placed on the white disc to the right of the pre-1997 Hong Kong Blue Ensign.
I found that other provinces in Canada, such as British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, New Brunswick, etc., did not formally formulate official flags before 1965, but they all had their own hypothetical blue ensigns. Can you vectorize the hypothetical blue ensign of Prince Edward Island? Thanks. this is the reference source. 反共抗獨光復民國 (talk) 10:23, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- "Hypothetical" iconography has no encyclopedic value whatsoever, so I do not think requests for such should be made on this page, which is meant to facilitate work on the encyclopedia. It is quite squarely a request to synthesize original research. Remsense诉 10:27, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- I have added references to this source, this is not original research. Please see this page. 反共抗獨光復民國 (talk) 10:30, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- The link you added is to a database that states it gets most of its content from Flags of the World, which is a self-published source that itself says that its operators "disclaim any responsibility about the veracity and accuracy of the contents of the website." Much time onwiki is spent removing poor quality information and original research sourced to sites like these. Please ensure that you have basic familiarity with what Wikipedia generally considers as reliable sources.Remsense诉 10:34, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- I want to reiterate that if the best way to describe a flag is as "theoretical", it almost certainly should not be included or documented anywhere on Wikipedia. If there was not significant or official use of a given design, it is likely not to be documented in reliable sources, and therefore its mention would constitute original research.

- As you can see, the text labels here (A, B, C,...) are off-center from their rectangles. I made this in Inkscape, at which I'm no pro, and it shows up just fine in-editor (I used the centering tools to align the text with the rectangles). In a web browser, the text appears skewed a bit differently than in the Wikimedia viewer, so I figure there has to be something a bit deeper going on here than just a misalignment.
