- yours, En rouge (talk) 02:17, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
- @En rouge: Those all seem nicely in order, thank you for doing this. I'd say it's okay to go ahead and add the extra symbols on each one. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:43, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

- two comments
- - 10 doesn't use this strange color, but only yellowed material.
- - 14 does not present Scandinavian cross, only a very thick Saint George's Cross

right lion to most flags, but on some he shouldn't have a crown and the golden ax
Lion for 7, the ax should be larger and the tail is different
crown for 8 and 16, jewels must be gilded

- @213.192.68.53: , please, can you give references for your arguments :
- but in (ref.1), we can see differences between mast color (yellow-ish) and flag color (olive-ish)... what are your sources?
- but I can agree with you, as for #10, I think viewed-black is blue instead, but I have no source...
- I think it's the same (blue instead of black) for 6 & 7 (painted source images give me this feeling), as well as 10 perhaps ;
- 14 seems really be black (but I've got no other source than the given paper painted flags copy)
- for 14: do you mean the cross is centered ? do you have a source ?
- and/or other sources ?
-
- for lion's tail, what's the problem ?
- the main issue can be inward or outward... whatever the painting/display/rendering...
- no?
- all pictures are lion-ward (i.e. outward), rather than leopard-ward (inward)
- so, what do you mean ?
thanks En rouge (talk) 00:17, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
- @En rouge: Given the lack of sources (or indeed responses) from the other User, I think it may be best to proceed with adding the extra symbols to the flags in the best way you see fit yourself. If you're still up for it of course? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 18:00, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Hunza[edit]
correct flag
correct coat of arms
Article(s): en:Hunza (princely state)
- request(s)
1 request is a restore of the old version of incorrect flag [7] sources:[8] [9] [10] 
Done
2 request is the addition of the Mir standard [11], which also requires an emblem.
I have not found a reliable source with the correct image of the coat of arms, but it was certainly a lion holding flag, with a ribbon on the mast with the word Hunza state and inscription above the flag [12] [13], most likely no formal draft exists.
standard name ,,Flag of Mir of Hunza`` coat of arms name ,,Emblem of Hunza (Kanjut)``

New version of File:Nuvola Nordic flags.svg[edit]
Replace the flag of the Faroe Islands in this image with the flag of Finland
The flag of Finland
Article(s): en:Template:User Nordic cinema task force and en:Template:WikiProject Film
- Request
- Make a new edited version of File:Nuvola Nordic flags.svg
by replacing its flag of the Faroe Islands 
with the flag of Finland 
, so then it has all five flags of the five Nordic countries.
The new image would replace the Nordic cinema task force's image in the templates User Nordic cinema task force and WikiProject Film. --85.23.79.231 14:10, 25 August 2021 (UTC) - Graphist opinion(s)
Not a graphist. Is this not done one purpose to exclude Finland which is culturally different from the other countries? I feel such a request should be to make a new image and not to overwrite the previous one. Veverve (talk) 01:24, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, that's what I meant with the "new edited version", sorry if the request wasn't clear enough. It can be named something like File:Nuvola Nordic flags v2.svg or File:Nuvola Nordic countries flags.svg. 85.23.79.231 11:13, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
Bump. Is this too hard? If it is, it's a bummer, because only images of the five Nordic flags in one picture are photos that don't work that well as logos in reduced sizes. Well, I found this File:Vlajky severskych zemi.png 
but I'm afraid that it's too wide. --85.23.79.231 14:43, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

- The graphic is dated 2004, but I guess the plotting software was using an old base map. IMO the political borders are scarcely relevant to the purpose of the image. (And I bet we have dozens to hundreds more charts in the series that show eclipses either earlier or later than the period during which the map was correct.)—Odysseus1479 (talk) 02:25, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

@Kanwenjian: This looks like it's just the normal Emblem of the PRC which is already on commons... are you looking for something different? Wegates (talk) 19:05, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Wegates: , Wikisource tries to as faithfully reproduce documents as possible, in this case it's that emblem but only in red and white. It's like comparing "File:Coat of arms of the Republic of Vietnam (1967-75) (Variant 1).svg" to "File:Coat of arms of the Republic of Vietnam (1963–1975) (Red).svg", the latter would be usable in Wikisource documents where the coat of arms only appears in red like the above. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:13, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Article: w:Jaipur State
- Request
- Please correct the colors for darker ones, obtaining such intense colors was impossible in that era and it's darker today too.
- Today's flag looks like this [14] (today Maharaja's family uses a different color arrangement), the appearance of the flag in British times is difficult to determine, but such saturated colors are unbelievable, because they cannot be obtained with natural dyes. There were actually more flags, here in the best quality I have found (flag 1922 - 1946 is wrong, green should be in the middle, others are good).

Vector diagrams for linear patterns of the skin[edit]
Langer's lines
Dermatomes
Article(s): en:Langer's lines, en:Blaschko's lines, en:Dermatome (anatomy)
- Request
- I think it would be nice to have standardized vector images for the three common linear patterns of the skin (i.e., Langer's lines, Blaschko's lines, and dermatomes). This article has diagrams of all three of them, but you may want to look at several images for each because there's some variability between different representations.
- As far as the styles of the illustrations, the format of side-by-side anterior and posterior views is the most common.
- From a scientific standpoint, one important consideration to remember is that Langer's lines represent a vector field of skin tension, while Blaschko's lines and dermatomes are used to demarcate particular segments of skin. In other words, for Langer's lines, the lines themselves are what's important, while for Blaschko's lines and dermatomes, it's the segments of skin between the lines that are important. This should influence the choice of coloring style. I think it's going to be too complicated to accurately color Langer's lines and I haven't found any images attempting it, so those don't need to be colored. For the other two, the segments should be colored (we don't even technically need lines between them if the contrast between the colors is enough to see the boundaries between the segments, but I'll defer to your judgement on that). The unique thing about Blaschko's lines is that they have a directionality to them, from back to front (i.e., wrapping around from spine to navel), from medial to lateral (shoulders to fingers) and from top to bottom (hips to toes). The image here may show the directionality a bit better for the legs. I'm not sure what the best way to show the directionality of the segments will be, but perhaps shading them so the beginning is more saturated than the end. Dermatomes should be filled with color according to the level of the nerves innervating them, as shown here.

@Rob Hurt: I will really need your help all the way here. So you want three different images each representing different lines; Langer's lines, Blaschko's lines, and dermatomes. So first we will have to find a body illustration that can be used for them all. After that I will check more into each and will for sure have questions. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:10, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

For context, the complicated elements can be found at "File:Flag of Director General of Customs of ROC.svg".Note that flags based on photographs can be nominated for deletion as "user-generated fantasies" as many people here only want files sourced from external places as the "Wikimedia Commons is not a source of educational content" according to some, so any flag based on that photograph may be liable for deletion in the future, at least based on similar deletion requests of Vietnamese political flags based on photographs at political events. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 10:08, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
