:Thanks for improving the image. That black bar has been there ever since I uploaded the map, but was not there when I was editing the map in Inkscape.

::The first thing I noticed was leftover <code>svg:foreignObject</code> inside <code>svg:switch</code> in the "hydronimes" group. There are also two <code>svg:flowRoot</code> nodes there that are off the page and seem to do nothing. Removing the two <code>svg:flowRoot</code> objects gets rid of the black boxes, while removing the "hydronimes" group removes about 130k. Give me a few more minutes and I'll update the svg. &mdash;[[User:DavidHOzAu|davidh]].[[User talk:DavidHOzAu|oz]].[[Special:Contributions/User:DavidHOzAu|au]] 04:47, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

'''Update 1'''
The tag hasn't been changed JUST for my needs. I have been wanting this template for a while. There is an almost identical US government equivelant and I know that, as in the US government's case, this image is government owned and in the public ___domain.[[User:Symode09|symode09]] 22:04, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
:As we must err on the side of caution before stating an image is in the public ___domain, can you please provide some evidence as to this? Such as a "Terms of use" page on a website that states the images are in the public ___domain. I know that I am not familiar with the government of Australia, but I just want to make sure that this school, and logo, fall under the scope of the govt.↔[[User:Nmajdan|<fontspan style="font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; font-family:verdana, sans-serif;">NMajdan</fontspan>]]&bull;[[User talk:Nmajdan|<fontspan style="font-size:9px; font-family:verdana, sans-serif; color:#000000;">talk</fontspan>]] 22:08, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[[User:Symode09|symode09]] 23:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
 
'''Graphist opinion:''' As this is a fair use logo, [[WP:FUC|FUC]] #3 states that low resolution images should be used. Therefore, I, personally, do not think this should be converted. I am against SVG conversions of fair use logos.↔[[User:Nmajdan|<fontspan style="font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; font-family:verdana, sans-serif;">NMajdan</fontspan>]]&bull;[[User talk:Nmajdan|<fontspan style="font-size:9px; font-family:verdana, sans-serif; color:#000000;">talk</fontspan>]] 04:47, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 
: I have to agree with that - [[Wikipedia:Logos]] says, "Overly high-resolution versions of logos should be avoided, however, as they are less likely to be fair use. Do not use SVG formats, as this can infringe on fair use." Sorry, but I don't think that it would be possible to convert it to SVG without infringing the copyright. [[User:Time3000|Time3000]] 11:47, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 
::Unfortunately, you can't just change the tag to suit your needs.

:I do not understand why this was converted. It was determined in the listing above to be a fair use image by an administrator on the Commons.

'''Request:''' This image, created as a cleanup of [[:Image:Urnaelettorale.png]] using Corel Draw has ended up with a transparent backgound larger than the image itself. It is the size of the A4 page background used in Corel Draw. How is this best avoided? How does one directly edit an SVG file to remove the effect? [[User:LittlePete|LittlePete]] 12:30, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 
'''Graphist opinion:'''
Import it back into CorelDRAW, upgroup the SVG object, then delete the white background. Afterwards, select all the items you would like to export to SVG, and use the File>Export command (checking all the options carefully) to export to SVG.

'''Request:''' The image is not currently in FAC [[Mayan languages]] because there is uncertainty as to its copyright status. making a new .svg version with a better color key would solve that. [[User:Circeus|Circeus]] 21:46, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 
'''Graphist opinion:'''
Line 231:
:::::Please look at the rightmost image (added), above, to correct most of the names - too many errors to list here, though "Nqxn" for Mopan really takes the cake. That other image is actually superior for [[Mayan Languages]] for several reasons (extends beyond Guatemala, doesn't include the two non-mayan languages, gives an idea of speaker populations and of language branches). I agree that the center image here would be useful for Guatemala, better geographic precision, but it might be nice to base the language colors here on variations of the colors in the rightmost Mayan Languages image. Missing entirely for the center image here are the labels Q'eqchi (the large upper green patch), Garifuna (a non-mayan Yoruba/Arawak language, a very small coastal strip extending west and then north from where the river hits the Atlantic coast near the (north)east concave corner. Does NOT extend west again along the Belize border to the main concave corner. The original, leftmost map puts it incorrectly ''east'' of the rivermouth.) and Q'anjob'al (the blue just west of Q'eqchi.). --[[User:Homunq|Homunq]] 12:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 
::::::Oh, thanks. This new image is much easier to decipher than the previous bunch of pixels. I fixed some things (or at least I hope that). For doing that re-coloration based on the image in the rightmost I need to know where Poqomchi is (now has not assigned zone), and which color should have "Papti" (or "Popti", "Papli" or whatever name it has).

I've reduced the dimensions of the file to have their original values (which I don't think loses much) and converted it to an indexed colour PNG which gets the filesize down to 254KB from 1.17MB. I've also created a smaller but completely lossless version of the original (1.17MB to 975KB) by using PNG filters, and I've overwritten the original with the smaller version. I hope that helps with the filesize issue. [[User:Time3000|Time3000]] 18:35, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

'''Request:''' Hard one I belive, but if someone is interested in herardly... The current CoA in the article is wrong as it has the Russian eagle and looks bad, as drawn with Paint..

It should be the correct one.
 
We already had a CoA based on the 1973 CoA of Finland: [[:Image:GD Finland coa.png]] but it obviously looks wrong when compared to the one in the Russian Empire's large CoA [[:Image:Russian Empire's Big Coat of Arms.jpg]] [[User:Pudeo|Pudeo]] ([[User_talkUser talk:Pudeo|''Talk'']]) 13:28, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
