The crest was changed to the Crown of St. Edward, the quarterings were redrawn, and the supporters, instead of facing the front, now faced each other.

:::::::::::The differences between CoAs and this image is that CoAs are defined by a [[blazon]]. That means that a free version can be created from the blazon (not from an existing interpretation of it which is why [[:Image:Coat of Arms of Iceland.svg]] is in trouble). Simply recreating an image in svg does not delink the svg image from the copyright of the original, this is why images such as Coat of Arms of Johannesburg above are in trouble. /[[:User:Lokal Profil|Lokal]][[Special:Contributions/Lokal Profil|_]][[:User talk:Lokal Profil|Profil]] 12:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::: As I understand it the template <nowiki>{{SVG|fairuse}}</nowiki> is indeed a completely pointless contradiction. "...information that could be stored more efficiently and/or accurately in the SVG format". While arguably technically true, functionally nonsense. The fair use rationale stipulates that the image must be low-res. So even if you make a vector version you still have to ''render'' it in low res. The "efficiency" difference between a 30kB PNG and a 20kB SVG is negligible, and the rendering resources needed for SVG do away with that benefit. Accuracy is irrelevant, because you still have to ''deliver it to the viewer'' at low accuracy (ie. low res). Someone could download it themselves and view it in high res, but then ''they'd'' be in violation of fair use. No matter which way you slice or dice it that template is an invitation to waste your time. [[User:Dhatfield|Dhatfield]] ([[User talk:Dhatfield|talk]]) 18:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

:::::::::::::::Find a blazon and create the image springs to mind, bearing in mind the cliché "easier said than done". The Joburg raster was uploaded by Flagmanbruce who says he is the FOTW Southern Africa administrator (for want of a better word). '''[[User:Mangwanani|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">Mangwanani</fontspan>]]''' <sup>[[User talk:Mangwanani|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">(talk)</fontspan>]] </sup> 19:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:But thats just the thing. Coat of arms (and coat of arms like flags) have a blasoning, logos and monograms normaly don't, thus making free versions of the impossible. The Joburg raster is the same as that [http://flagspot.net/flags/za-gt-jb.html#jb here] and is thus not an "original interpretation of the blason" but rather a copyrighted interpretation from 1997. The fact that Flagmanbruce has scanned it gives him no copyrightrelated rights. Thus since the new vector version are a derivative of these they are also copyrighted by whoever created the raster. In order to create a truly free image the new one would have to based only on heraldic rules and the text:
{{quotation|ARMS: Vert, a fret couped Or, the mascle voided Gules, between in chief and base respectively four shield thongs Argent; behind the shield a spine erect Or, plumed Sable.

::Shoot, that needs translation into English. I couldn't draw anything from ''that'' description, that's for sure. [[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 22:38, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 
Back to the Joburg Arms, it isn't entirely based on the raster. My trace obviously was but the rest of the work done by other users was an interpretation of the raster... '''[[User:Mangwanani|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">Mangwanani</fontspan>]]''' <sup>[[User talk:Mangwanani|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">(talk)</fontspan>]] </sup> 15:51, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:I know it isn't entirely based on the raster (let's call it the "official interpretation") but both the trace and iterpretations of the "official interpretation" are processes which create works that are derivatives of the "official interpretation", and those covered by it's copyright. As an example if you watch all of the Star Wars movies and then draw a free hand sketch of the Millenium Falcon then that is stil a derivative of the copyrighted movies.
:What's needed in order to make the image free is basically that you completely forget about the "official interpretation" and do a new image based on the blazon only. As for the blazonings being written in code I wholehartedly agree, it's hard enough to understand them when they are written entierly in one language (swedish for the ones I've done) but the english ones always seem to contain about 50% french in them. There is a heraldic glossary somewhere on Wikipedia (lost the link) but to start I'd recommend asking one of the heraldicaly experienced editors to translate the description to plain english (e.g. [[:commons:User:SanchoPanzaXXI|SanchoPanzaXXI]]), after a while you'll start understanding the ''code''.

How about these? Reasons for selecting these icons:
 
Line 309 ⟶ 355:
* Many, many thanks for the good work! I like all three images. The V does work in German ("Vandalismus"), but it may not in other languages. However, it may be acceptable in many language to learn that it means no vandalism. One point: A crossed-out "V" would intuitively make more sense / be easier to remember (i.e. ''no' vandalism). However, I imagine this is graphically undesirable (to many lines at small angles?). --[[User:Vigilius|Vigilius]] ([[User talk:Vigilius|talk]]) 10:11, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 
* The "Approved" icon is good and even to recognise when very small: [[Image:FlaggedRevs-3.svg|13px|13 px]]. The hook could be ''slighlty'' broader.
:* No problem, will do tomorrow morning.
* The "V" first depends on culture and second two kinds of green are too complex. Every assumption that contains with "people will quickly learn" is an assumption too much. An eye on orange is better, the idea "... is watching you" is wanted, that's the point.
:* surely you are trying to say 'checked', 'passed', 'not vandalism', not trying to intimidate contributors that are ''not'' vandals. It should be a neutral or even friendly icon. Can we come up with another alternative? Blue?
* The question mark is good but could be more recognisable when very small. Compare [[Image:FlaggedRevs-1.svg|18px|18 px]] and [[Image:Blue-question-mark.jpg|18px]] or [[Image:Circle question mark.png|18px]]. This can also be read when very small: [[Image:Blue-question-mark.jpg|15px]].
:* Good point, I'll work on it further. The blue ? is a good template. [[User:Dhatfield|Dhatfield]] ([[User talk:Dhatfield|talk]]) 22:53, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the revisions Dhatfield! With the bolder font the question mark indeed has become much more readable at small sizes. And as said in the introduction, I personally disliked the eye a bit myself; I would vote for the V for the time being, with the option that someone comes up with a n even brighter idea. Some comments on German WP suggest to me that the eye is being interpreted as an indication of much more scrutiny than is actually happening. -- I have tow minor technical points: perhaps the gradient of the outer ring in ? and V could be a bit less contrasty. In small size at 1 o'clock it looks like a spot on my monitor on the ? (much less so on the V). Secondly, the OK sign ([[Image:FlaggedRevs-3.svg|13px|13 px]]) might have accidentially become non circular, both in total and with respect of the width of the outer ring. --[[User:Vigilius|Vigilius]] ([[User talk:Vigilius|talk]]) 21:38, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
* Is it non circular or is it that the two circles have not the same center ? [[User:Hektor|Hektor]] ([[User talk:Hektor|talk]]) 07:40, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

::::::::: I think that's a huge improvement. It definitely implies the correct scale. Let's see what the physicists say. I'll replace some of the existing images with the new one and ask for comments. [[User:Dhatfield|Dhatfield]] ([[User talk:Dhatfield|talk]]) 11:49, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

:No offense guys, I think the original one was better. The gradients look amateurish on the new one (they aren't correct for the forms), the stars don't mean anything, and the original one had a nice simplicity to it. The original one looks like it could be in a science textbook. The new one looks like it is something someone made for Wikipedia. Just my two cents. When I am looking for a light cone image to use, I'm going to use the first one, not the second one. Specifying "years" for time is totally inaccurate. In fact the whole thing has gotten more inaccurate. The light cone is not just meant for interstellar distances—it's a fundamental concept to all of special relativity, and applies even on small scales. Ugly and inaccurate -- bad combination! --[[Special:Contributions/98.217.8.46|98.217.8.46]] ([[User talk:98.217.8.46|talk]]) 15:10, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
::I second all of this. The two things that were added—the "(years)" label and the stars in the hyperplane—are wrong, however well intentioned, and need to be removed. The new image doesn't look perspective-correct to me. The gradient should be more subtle so that it gives a 3D effect without being distracting. The sides of the cone should ideally be inclined at 45° to the axes, not at some random angle. With all of those changes I could accept the new image, but the result of making all of those changes would pretty much be the original image. Not that the old image is perfect, but it's a better starting point for tweaking than the new one. For the time being I'm going to switch back to the old image. -- [[User:BenRG|BenRG]] ([[User talk:BenRG|talk]]) 16:02, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

:Think something had got messed up in the aspect ratio where the image got forced from 399x306px to 200x200px. The quick fix is to wash it through Inkscape. I.e. open the file in inkscape and copy everything into a new file with the same size (which I did). The nicer solution is to remove the offending bit of code, this however normally requires a few tries since mediaWiki seems to render everything in it's own unique way.
:Even if the svg has a larger filesize I'd still say it's preferable since it's easily translated and updated, but then that's just me./[[:User:Lokal Profil|Lokal]][[Special:Contributions/Lokal Profil|_]][[:User talk:Lokal Profil|Profil]] 15:13, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Graphic Lab's Tutorials, for wiki graphists !
 
;Request
Hello,
[[Image:China, 742.svg|right|200px|thumb|Kind of map'''s''' doable after the tutorial teaching, except the background to import.]]
[[Image:Battle Trebia-fr.svg|right|200px|thumb|idem.]]
[[Image:Pyrenees_map_shaded_relief-fr.svg|right|200px|thumb|With lot of time, Except countries shape and relief shade need to be imported.]]
I worked 30 hours this 2 last weeks to create -in English- a really complete 15 pages long '''Tutorial:Cartography (basic).svg'''. This tutorial aim to take a perfect newbee in both Inkscape and map making, and teach him/her in 15 pages and one hour of explanations and exercices '''all what he need to know''' to make respectable, nice, and reliable wikimaps. This was made according to all I learnt on the French Map lab.
<br />Despite I'm French, I wrote it in English since 8 wikipedians out of 10 can understand basic English, while only 1 out of 10 for basic French. Also, '''this Tutorial need first a big copyedit'''. Afterwhat: your advices are really encouraged ! (dowload and read the SVG version to test it)
 
So (please !), '''one volunter to copyedit this long svg''' (probably 2 hours of work, . (one only, or the second after the first).
* '''Need:''' one volunter ;
* '''For :''' a 2 hours copyedit (+ or -1h) ;
* '''Tool need :''' Inkscape, correct English
* '''File to copyedit'''(11 sections): '''[[:Image:Tutorial-cartography (basic)-2.svg]]''' to download and open in Inkscape.
* '''Note :''' some indications are in the SVG ; the file have 11 sections (you can copyedit just 2: each help is welcome) ; 3 are missing and will be add later.
I will not work on this tutorial this week allowing the volunter to work as much as he want.

'''Graphist opinion:'''<br .>
Note: There is a big display bug (ImageMagic don't understand the FlowRoot fonction), and [[:fr:Wikipedia:Atelier_graphique/FAQ_SVG#Un_carr.C3.A9_noir_est_visible_sur_l.27image|according to the French SVG FAQ: there is no easy wait to fix this]]. This bug disallow the display of the '''SVG''' on wikipedia, but you can still dowload it and copyedit on it.

:I'll do a bit. [[User:Vladsinger | vlad<b>§</b>inger]] [[User talk:Vladsinger | <sup>tlk</sup> ]] 01:59, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
::Okay, that's it down to the sources section. I am doing some rewriting as well as fixing language issues to make sure the intent of the text is as clear as possible. Also fixing layout issues. Onwards! [[User:Vladsinger | vlad<b>§</b>inger]] [[User talk:Vladsinger | <sup>tlk</sup> ]] 02:53, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
:::...And, that's it for now. It's 1AM here and I'm off to bed. I went through every section, moved stuff around (though I may have neglected to add notes saying so). Somebody else is free to scan it again and fix anything I missed. Of course, I wasn't able to edit the parts that aren't written. I'm impressed with this - must have taken a while considering it took me ~2.5 hrs just to tweak.

A big thanks for your tweak on Tutorial-cartography_(basic).svg , I think the final version will help map creation and wikicartographers' beginning greatly. After my big effort to create this tuto, a big thanks to you for this correction, I quickly overviewed it : that's really better ! I also appreciated when I seen you display good initiative by changing many sentences and '''expanding''' some explanations with your knowledge. This was completly my aim : make a wiki-SVG-tutorial, first started by one big effort, then improve by every cartographers when better explanations are possible, exactly like a wiki page ^-^y . For all this : a big thanks to you.
 
As I said, I will let other cartographer read it and expand it if they want. I will probably create the missing sections separately on my PC, then, in one or 2 weeks, I will include them and make some structural update (change some sections' order). I hope the version 1.0 (complete and corrected) will be available for August 2008 :]
;Note on next steps
* '''Copyedit = {{Done}}''' ; I mark the request as "Resolved" to avoid waste of time of other graphists.
* '''3 missing sections''' = to do in the 2 next weeks, with little reorganisation (sections' order), and rewriting of the bolean section (cf Inkscape 0.46 new tools).
* '''last copyedit''': will then need a small copy edit.
* '''Final release and review''': August 2008, graphists will be welcome to keep this tutorial as best and as up to date as possible.
