Channel Island Flags

Hi! I have just discovered you and I firstly want to thank you for the fantastic vexillological work you are doing on behalf of people like me who are not technologically capable of doing your work. A particular thanks goes to adding the flags of the parishes of Jersey.

On the topic of the Channel Islands, would you be able to add the flags Guernsey's ten parishes? [1] In addition, would you be able to update the flag of Brecqhou and stick it in the info box at the top? The flag should have the Barkley Brother's coat of arms in the bottom right of the flag... although now one of the brothers has passed away, does this mean that the flag changes again? [2]

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by D-FRIEZ99 (talk • contribs) 22:19, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

A little difficult, but I can definitely do. Flagvisioner (talk) 00:08, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

I apologize greatly!

I have started to work on the parish flags of Guernsey. Please forgive me for the long wait. Flagvisioner (talk) (contribs) 02:14, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

File:Oneida County, NY Flag.svg

Thanks for converting this file to SVG. There's a typo in the new file: It should say Rome (as in Category:Rome, New York), not Reme. The original File:Us-ny-on.gif was pretty blurry, and it does look halfway between Rome and Reme. -Apocheir (talk) 20:42, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

It's also been brought to my attention that that isn't the current flag of Oneida County. The current one has the county seal instead of the pop-out and emblem with city names. See, for example, [3]. I'm not sure if the copyright considerations for the seal would allow an updated version. -Apocheir (talk) 20:52, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Alright. Thank you! I will be fixing the typo soon. The county seal seems to be fair use, so I'm afraid I can't update the flag, although I can probably upload a very heavily oversimplified one as a free version. Or, I could upload a much better and detailed version, although marked as fair use. --Flagvisioner (talk) 02:31, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Flag of Kwajalein Atoll

Hi, Flagvisioner! I figured that since you made File:Kwajalein Atoll Flag.svg, I'd let you know that the atoll adopted a new flag back in February of this year, which can be seen here, if you wish to make a vector version of that one as well. By the way, I appreciate the work you've done with these flags! HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 16:28, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you!

I plan on doing a vectorization of the flag soon. Flagvisioner (talk) 21:50, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Coat of Arms/Seals

Do you also make Coat of Arms/seals since if you see my contribution page you’ll see what I want. CubanoBoi (talk) 00:01, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't make coats of arms or seals unless it is part of a flag (and if I have vectorized the flag). I can try, but I am not the greatest at it. Flagvisioner (talk) 00:13, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, do you know anyone who is good at coat of arms?CubanoBoi (talk) 14:51, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Not personally, but a few examples of people who create coat of arms include Sodacan, Jack Ryan Morris (not too sure if Jack does requests, though).

There are others, which you can probably find by searching through the creators of files of coats of arms. Flagvisioner (talk) 19:36, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Pembroke Pines

Can you add a flag for Pembroke Pines, Florida? Seen here : https://www.fotw.info/flags/us-flpbp.html also it saids the border is green when it’s a green border with a smaller white border. CubanoBoi (talk) 15:06, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

A little time consuming, but I am definitely able to. Flagvisioner (talk) 19:37, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Done with both the flag & seal. In total, took about 4 hours to vectorize both.

Flag is at File:Flag of Pembroke Pines, Florida.svg and seal is at File:Seal of Pembroke Pines, Florida.svg

Flagvisioner (talk) 02:59, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Jagüey Grande

Sorry to disturb and make you do so many request, but can you also do Jagüey Grande, Cuba? The flag is here https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/cu-jaggr.html. Also next time can you add ~~~~ to the end so I get the notification CubanoBoi (talk) 02:02, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

I am afraid I am not able to vectorize the coat of arms in its style. It would take very, very long and would probably look comparable to the image. Instead, I have autotraced the coat of arms.

The flag can now be found at File:Flag of Jagüey Grande, Cuba.svg

And do I not add the 4 tildes? I am pretty sure I do.

File:Bandera del Directorio Revolucionario Estudiantil.svg

On File:Bandera del Directorio Revolucionario Estudiantil.svg you put the 13 up and you unfinished the R, in the photo you mentioned they did that by accident. On the second image here http://www.escambray.cu/tag/directorio-revolucionario-13-de-marzo/ they fixed it but the colors changed. (I’m most cases of the flag it’s the same colors you put tho) CubanoBoi (talk) 02:36, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Alright. I have drawn the flag (and its text) to how it is shown in the image. Though, I have a few questions:

• Where is your source for the flag going from white to blue, rather than blue to red being the correct one?
• Where is your source for the colors being done incorrect accidentally?

Please note that I haven't read the entire article myself, so please inform me if it is found in there. Flagvisioner (talk) 03:04, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

The old colors are fine as seen in these photos: page one of https://www.moesbooks.com/pages/books/88271/rene-jimenez/album-de-la-revolucion-cubana-1952-1959. On http://cubamuseo.net/inferior-collection/443 if you go to “Galería de Imágenes” and go to F02 you’ll find the logo. Here is a flag in 2018 http://www.ohcamaguey.cu/desembarco-por-nuevitas-de-los-combatientes-del-directorio-revolucionario-13-de-marzo/. Here is a purse I think https://observatoriocriticocuba.org/2012/04/20/gloria-a-los-martires-de-humboldt-7/ CubanoBoi (talk) 12:48, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Also the flag I reverted should be a different file CubanoBoi (talk) 12:53, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Also I’m so sorry for making you spent so much time on these flags, I’ll not request any more (unless my home municipality in cuba gets a flag which it probably won’t since they still haven’t replied to my request) CubanoBoi (talk) 12:55, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Can you also make the text bigger on that file and upload the file I redirected to a new file? CubanoBoi (talk) 19:12, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Bandera de Mexicali/Fiag of Mexicali

Hola, respecto a lo que pasó en ES:WP, te quiero comentar que Mexicali no tiene ninguna bandera oficial, por cierto, las referencias que incluiste no veo que especifiquen algo relacionado con una «Bandera de Mexicali», además, tampoco creo que YouTube sea una fuente fiable o totalmente real.

Otra cosa, si te molestaste por haberte reportado, te quiero mencionar que de igual manera un bibliotecario te ubiera bloqueado por estar evadiendo un bloqueo por segunda vez y tus cambios ubieran sido revertidos. ¡Saludos! (I do not speak english). Inc 12345* (talk) 03:13, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Hola. Aunque Mexicali no parece tener una bandera oficial, creo que debería mencionarse como "con uso no oficial".

Youtube no se considera una fuente confiable, pero no cambia que se vea en videos o fotos con el gobierno del municipio.

Y no me molesta, me molesta que borraron mi página de discusión después de que intenté apelar. Ni siquiera dicen cómo puedes pedir que te desbloqueen si no tienes un correo electrónico agregado a tu cuenta. Se siente casi como si no quisieran que apelaras.

Flag of guanabacoa

Hi, can you make a flag of this http://www.siemprecubanos.com/c/43316/10010/guanabacoa.html the most bottom image, it’s the flag of guanabacoa, cuba. Also can you make the letters on File: Bandera del Directorio Revolucionario Estudiantil.svg bigger as seen on my page 2 on https://www.moesbooks.com/pages/books/88271/rene-jimenez/album-de-la-revolucion-cubana-1952-1959 and http://www.ohcamaguey.cu/desembarco-por-nuevitas-de-los-combatientes-del-directorio-revolucionario-13-de-marzo/ CubanoBoi (talk) 18:39, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Apologies for the very late response , but I will be doing so soon. Flagvisioner (talk) 20:54, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you CubanoBoi (talk) 14:08, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Done with the flag of Guanabacoa. It is available at File:Bandera de Guanabacoa, Cuba.svg

I have also added an image with the fringe. I would also like to point out that the flag you uploaded seems to be very off (proportions, coat of arms, coat of arms is seen in the flag as not centered.) While the image wasn't too clear, I was able to make out a few things out of it.
Also, very sorry for the late response. I don't get around to doing things until it is very late. Flagvisioner (talk) 02:51, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

"Colors according to Vexilla Mundi"

Czech city flags rarely have consistent palettes, this holds little weight (I skip the middleman and pick colours "according to me, personally") and making changes is a waste of time imo. For Zlín it's still different than their website shows for example. TFerenczy (talk) 07:19, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Alright. Thank you for the advice. Flagvisioner (talk) 01:57, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Another Cuban municipality flag

Hi flag guy (I forgot the second part of your name) and you add the flag of Caimito, Cuba which is a cyan blue color and the shield in the middle, it should come up if you google “Bandera de Caimito, Cuba” and also thanks for following me on reddit CubanoBoi (talk) 03:33, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello. I will work on it tomorrow (or possibly later?), as I live in western united states and it is getting late. Tell me if there is anything else you want me to vectorize. And don't worry about wasting my time, I vectorize flags as practice (plus, it is fun to do, only problem is time consuming). Flagvisioner (talk) 05:33, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Turquoise would probably be more correct.

Also, is the white border intentional? I try to open up the site and it doesn't let me. Maybe because my IP is in the United States? And is there a better quality image of the coat of arms? I can't see things clearly on the coat of arms posted by the government of Caimito Muncipality Flagvisioner (talk) 20:13, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Flag request

Hello,

I hope everything is alright. If it isn't too much trouble for you, I was wondering if you could vectorize and make an SVG file for the city flag of Wilmington, North Carolina? The best (and only version of the flag online) is from FOTW and it is just a cropped image of a mast. The flag is basically the city seal with gold text around it on a navy blue background. I understand if you can't do it but thanks for your time anyways.

Flag in question from FOTW

have a great day! DiscoA340 (talk) 03:11, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

I think I might be able to. Only question I have is: do you know what font it is? I'm not too good with fonts. Flagvisioner (talk) 03:13, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Good question, the font seems to be a basic typeface. Doing some trail and error on word, it seems the font could be 'Georgia' or some variant of 'Times New Roman.' Online font identifiers can't seem to identify it due to the image quality. Sorry about that, but I think one of those or some other basic font would to the trick, Thanks again! DiscoA340 (talk) 03:29, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Not Times New Roman or Georgian. I've seen it before, but I'm not too sure what the name is. Flagvisioner (talk) 03:30, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Alright, sounds good, if you have anymore questions, feel free to contact me. Thanks again for your help! DiscoA340 (talk) 03:33, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Flag of Moa

Hi, I found this flag on EcuRed https://www.ecured.cu/Archivo:Ban_Moa1.png it saids it’s the flag of Moa but it doesn’t site any sources and I can’t find anything that confirms this, I’ve asked Reddit but they didn’t even reply (since the only flag people from cuba know is the Cuban flag) CubanoBoi (talk) 23:18, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't have to necessarily research flags to upload vector images of flags using other sources, like FOTW.

Hello,

What exactly do you mean by you "not having the rights to do it"? Also, the image is not very clear. I am guessing the figure and the "tree" are yellow. Flagvisioner (talk) 02:47, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

when I try to change the flag, or any image for that matter, it says "You attempted to overwrite a file that was not initially uploaded by you. You currently do not have sufficient permissions to do this." This is due to me not having the Autopatrolling rights Strenatos (talk) 03:28, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Request to confirm validity of Mongol Tug

Hi Flagvisioner, I was trying to add a Mongol War banner I sourced from https://artsandculture.google.com/story/mongolian-empire-the-national-museum-of-mongolia/TwWB3jMjdJwYKg?hl=en to the the Mongol Empire page, but it got removed. I had a discussion with the person who removed it and they claimed that since it was a battle banner and not a symbol of the mongol empire it shouldn't be added. Since you are a specialist in Vexillology, could you confirm the validity of the banner and if it should be added to the infobox? Sci Show With Moh (talk) 13:18, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello,

I am not denying its validity of existence, if the national museum contains a copy then there is certainly good reason to believe it existed. It would probably best be suited for another page, probably relating to Mongol standards or Mongol conquest. However, it is good to also note that the article for the Roman Empire uses its vexillum, a standard really ONLY used by the army, possibly the same case here. So it is disputable, however I am not sure how exactly to help further with this. Also, these types of banners are more appropriately termed as "vexilloids". @Sci Show With Moh Flagvisioner (talk) 03:54, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! I am currently working on a page related to mongol standards & emblems like you suggested. Sci Show With Moh (talk) 12:59, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Also, do you think a link to the page about mongol standards in the infobox would be fitting for the page? Sci Show With Moh (talk) 13:01, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

No, not really. Flagvisioner (talk) 19:27, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Done with most. The Commons policy of not allowing images to be overwritten unless an exception is made is rather annoying, and I don't want to go through that right now; I think it was fine before, and this new policy creates a whole new workload for moderators.

Also, I'm sure you've noticed that I barely use Commons today. You are free to contact me to vectorize any images, but keep in mind that I've been focusing on searching for flags and information about them instead, to contribute to Flags of the World. Flagvisioner (talk) 18:56, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Pimicikamak Cree Nation Flag.svg

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Pimicikamak Cree Nation Flag.svg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:Pimicikamak Cree Nation Flag.svg]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

And also:

• File:Musqueam flag.svg

Edit to add: I'm worried this automated template is misleading. When it says "If you created the content yourself" it's talking about who holds the copyright, not whether you were the person to sit down and create the SVG version. Legally speaking, recreating a raster image as an SVG is considered a reconstruction - and if the original work is copyrighted, that means it's a copyright violation.

I also tagged File:Flag of the Rapid City Police Department.svg with No Permission Given because I could see no evidence of copyright permission. On all three of these flags you claim to be "author" and I think you should know that just making an SVG version of a file does not confer authorship status nor copyright holding. So you should not be using tags like {{PD-self}} or {{self|cc-zero}} unless you are the actual copyright holder. Even if the image is public domain, it's incorrect for you to be claiming you have the right to release it public domain unless you hold the copyright. It's important to provide source information that provides provenance of a given file so that we can be use the copyright and attribution are correct.

It's great you're making high quality SVGs, that's important work that takes effort and skill. But the way to credit for yourself is with: |other fields={{Igen|Inkscape|+|u=[[User:Flagvisioner|Flagvisioner]]}} . (Replace Inkscape with whatever SVG software you're using, as needed).

The author field is intended for the original designer (i.e. copyright holder). I recommend you look over other files you've uploaded to be sure the have correct author information and licensing. I'm hoping this will be a straightforward task for you to provide the necessary information.

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Flag of the Ak-Chin Indian Community.svg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Flag of the Ak-Chin Indian Community.svg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so.
