Please scale these more appropriately (can SVG do that internally?) with respect to other traffic signs images in the relevant Commons Category and those used in the linked article. Asking here as it's simple task that an experienced user can do rapidly...
@ShakespeareFan00, can you be more specific about what’s wrong with the size or proportions? Is it just the nominal pixel dimensions? Yes, with SVGs scaling is usually very easy—it says so right on the tin! But one needs to know what one’s trying to achieve.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 04:41, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It is indeed the nominal pixel dimensions, I had drawn these at actual size, whereas the ones from the Traffic Signs Database are based on how they were sized for print reproduction, which are considerably smaller. I was wanting someone to scale these to be more suited to display on screen and print compared to the existing traffic sign images Commons holds.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:33, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Done@ShakespeareFan00: The files specified large, fixed, sizes in millimeters via the width and height attributes. I removed those attributes from all the files, so SVG defaults the size to 100% of the container. I do not think any other changes are needed. Glrx (talk) 21:38, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Convert Almohad banner to SVG. I know this isn't an easy one, if it's any consolation, they didn't imagine you would be working on this back in 1212 AD. —When choosing a filename, please note this is the banner not the flag. --Flaspec (talk) 22:39, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Extended content
Flaspec The source you have provided is not good enough, it's impossible to create anything with quality from that. Would also need someone who can read and write the language (some version of Arabic) written on it and generally you would have to help with feedback and check on drafts. Fix those things and then you can ping me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:37, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Flaspec: The pattern is complex as hell, and we need surely a picture with an higher definition to create a vector version of it. I think I found an high-quality picture of the cetral part ([1]) is it the same flag? Or, you could buy the picture ([2]) and send it to us to trace it. Sette-quattro (talk) 13:09, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Flaspec The source from twitter that Veverve provided looks good and to me it seems as it is the right version. Several of the others are something else. However then we have the question about copyright. The twitter account comes from museum of Burgos what I can see. So before I would consider taking this huge task I would need you to get a written permission according to OTRS. Before you can provide that I will not put in the amount of work needed for this. There is an email adress to the right on that link. So ping me when you have the permission, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:22, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en: @Flaspec: I will not be necessary. From what I got from here and here, and especially here, the image shared by the museum is a scan of a 19th-century engraving from the book series Historia general de España desde los tiempos primitivos hasta la muerte de Fernando VII by Modesto Lafuente. With a few hours of research and a bit of luck I found this engraving is in Part 2, Book 1, chapter 12 ("ALFONSO VIII Y ENRIQUE I EN CASTILLA - De 1212 á 1217"). The volume on which this part is will depend on the edition. You can find a good quality scanned version with the engraving here (from here) at PDF page 34. You can also find it here (worse quality). Veverve (talk) 20:17, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you @Veverve: for all your work and knowledge on this, and you saying it is from an engraving explains why it looks different in colors and lines. But I have two questions.
Is this engraving the same as in all detail as you know?
I don't speak Spanish but when I translate that page it says everything is under copyright. So then we are back to the same situation or what do you say?
I have seen many versions of this flag online, I guess there is numerous reproductions since it is a famous flag. Looking at google image with "Banner of Las Navas" in Spanish gives numerous similar yet very different flag. I do not know if the engraving is the same as .
Thanks again Veverve, it is so difficult with copyright on stuff like this, I don't have deep enough knowledge but when I check your sources I agree with you, so thanks. Will now try to get in contact Flaspec to be able to work on this. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:06, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Flaspec Great. QuestionThe emblem you first showed is some kind of textil I guess, so it's not 90° in the corners, no straight lines etc. What I will create is an illustration of this emblem so I will work with 90° corners, straight lines etc. Is this fine with you? --Goran tek-en (talk) 15:55, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Goran tek-en: This is medieval script of Arabic (equivalent to Blackletter in Latin, for instance) so the first option is the best in order to preserve authenticity of the emblem (modern font wouldn't do). I noticed that existing flags/emblems belonging to the same era (like the emblem of the Emirate of Granada) also opt for the first option you mentioned. --Flaspec (talk) 19:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Goran tek-en There is a flag that appeared in the old literature, and I think it's related to that flag. Flaspec I don't know if this flag is well historical research. Could you please review it?--고려 (talk) 14:14, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Info The source provided by 고려 calls this a «Pendón» which translates to Banner in English (not emblem). So I changed the title of this section to reflect the correct naming (Convert Almohad emblem to SVG → Convert Almohad banner to SVG). --Flaspec (talk) 15:21, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Flaspec It's hard to say that the 1921 photo shoot also has poor image quality. I think it is possible to refer to the pattern. also As you can see by pressing the details, isn't the central description more accurate?--고려 (talk) 16:20, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Donald Trung: I thank you for your concern, however your version has some problems. "A."; "C", "a" and d of "Card"; and each letter of "Ottaviani" look a bit off. I would prefer if a Wikigraphist could either revise the version you uploaded or make one from scratch. Veverve (talk) 20:41, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Veverve: , I understand. I looked at the options on the website and I have seen other options like this one which is more faithful, apparently it defaults to option #2 (number two) which distorts the image a bit. I would advise you to try to use the website to see if you can make a better version and then overwrite the above one. I will try to overwrite it using option #1 (number one) and see if you like it more. I am just experimenting here, so I hope that I'm not wasting your time. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:10, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, thanks Sushant savla. My only remarks are on the shade of blue: the photographs are clearly washed out due to sun exposure. The blue shade of the stripes, and of the border around the logo, should be the same as of the Greek flag and coat of arms (per [8]). Otherwise the renderings look great!

Please remove the UK as a member of the European Defence Agency now it’s no longer a member of the EU as it’s wrongly still shown as a member. (90.213.250.10421:26, 5 February 2021 (UTC))[reply]
In addition this image has the WPK hammer and sickle and the Central Committee building—its an official logo. Would someone be willing to vectorise that for me as well?
I'm trying to improve the article on Tim Mahoney on Wikipedia, and I found his signature in his statement of candidacy in this pdf. Is it possible for someone to vectorize it from the PDF and convert it to an SVG file on Wikimedia? Thanks. -- Politicsfan4 (talk) 20:41, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Excel .xlsx spreadsheets that automatically generate XML code for .SVG graphics
Transcluded:
General concept above; examples below.
Warming stripes (five examples compared)
Warming stripes bar chart
Bar chart (vertical)
Pie chart
Line charts
Scatterplot
I've uploaded .xlsx (Microsoft Excel) spreadsheets that automatically generate XML code for charts in SVG format.
You simply paste or enter your data into the spreadsheet, and specify image dimensions, number of grid lines, font sizes, etc. The spreadsheet instantly and automatically generates a column of XML code that you simply copy and paste into a text editor and save as an ".svg" file. The spreadsheets produce lean SVG code, avoiding the "extra stuff" that Inkscape inserts. They should save you time in creating SVG charts.
Warming stripes — Accepts a single dataset and converts to SVG code portraying Ed Hawkins'warming stripes graphics. User chooses vertical or horizontal stripes; normal or reverse data ordering; or from a variety of geometric shapes (updated 17 May 2023). . . . . Click here to see examples of warming stripes embedded in different shapes.
Warming stripes bar chart — Accepts a single dataset and creates a conventional bar chart whose individual bars/columns are coloured according to Dr. Hawkins' warming stripes colour scheme. Alternate option: choose one colour for ascending bars and another colour for descending bars. (updated 28 August 2023)
Line charts — Accepts up to six datasets. (updated 30 August 2023)
Vertical bar charts (column charts) — Accepts up to six datasets. Toggle between clustered and stacked charts; user can adjust "Yfloor"—the Y level (usually=0) from which columns rise or fall; user chooses to keep or ignore negative input values. (updated 27 August 2023)
Horizontal bar charts — Accepts up to six datasets. Toggle between clustered and stacked charts; user can adjust "Yfloor"—the value (usually=0) from which bars extend; user chooses to keep or ignore negative input values. (updated 27 August 2023)
Scatter plots — Accepts up to five datasets. (updated 28 August 2023)
Pie charts — Accepts a single dataset of up to 36 items. (updated 17 May 2023)
Variable-width bar charts — Accepts up to six datasets; is like "Vertical bar charts", above, but user can choose different widths for different bars. (updated 27 August 2023)
I would like to kindly request help in creating an svg image for the coat of arms of John Carroll, who was the Archbishop of Balitmore. An image of his coat of arms can be found on this external site. (It cites to a reliable source at the bottom of the page). Help from anyone more skilled than myself would be much appreciated. --Ergo Sum00:52, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Creation of a new image showing a highway shield for Belgian highway N0.
--114.122.73.21716:40, 27 February 2021 (UTC) Please create an image displaying 'N0' in the style of Belgian national roads, see the file BE-N6.svg for an example. The 6 could simply be replaced by a 0 [zero], a depiction of a zero can be seen in the file BE-N10.svg. It is the only one missing from the 0-99 series. Thanks![reply]
Could someone please create some heraldic SVG templates of an Irish Wolfhound, based on the images seen here. And, if it's not too much, I'd ask that a number of them be created, displaying the Wolfhound in various different positions (running, standing on all fours, rampant, lying down, and so on). Thanks.

Fig. 3 was obtained from listed source, Phys. Rev. Lett.120, 222001 (arXiv:1707.06610), but the image has JPEG artifacts and was uploaded as a PDF. As encoded in the arXiv PDF, the figure needs to be extracted via Inkscape and reuploaded in SVG format. The journal-published version (DOI:10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.222001) also has an artifact-free PNG version. --–LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:56, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Could someone please alter the above file for the flag of Seanchan, so that the three silver 3D lightning bolts in the hawk's claws are replaced with three silver 2D lightning bolts (template above) instead, as I think 2D bolts would contrast better with the 2D hawk than the current 3D ones. Also, I'd ask that the three new bolts be placed with the clutches of the hawk's lower claw, with one pointing straight down, one pointing diagonally left, and the last one diagonally right. Thanks.

Please, remake the Wikipedia and WWE belt icons in SVG. You can use the same base layout for both images. No background. Thanks, Est. 2021 (talk) 02:07, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
PS. On the Wikipedia belt icon, just write "WRESTLING" under the W. No "Pro"!
