Starbucks map

Hi Germenfer,

I really like the quality of the map File:Starbucks (Updated as of 2019).png, though I have two suggestions. I tried doing it myself, but it would take an extraordinary amount of time without the original file or better tools.

I think removing the caption at the bottom would be good, it would make the file usable in other language Wikipedias. As a second recommendation, I think the countries without Starbucks shops should be in grey, not light green, for better contrast and to better distinguish between those with and without locations. Let me know what you think! Thanks and best, ɱ (talk) 18:50, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi! Yeah sure. It would be better without the text or the light green countries. I'll redoit soon. Thanks for the feedback! :) Germenfer (talk) 19:46, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Thank you! ɱ (talk) 16:26, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Tafea Province Flag inconsistency

Hi, I was looking for a person who likes flags, because I found an inaccuracy here. according to this photo, it has 5 yellow stars and a darker color 213.192.68.53 15:30 12.11.20 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.192.68.53 (talk) 14:23, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I'll check the inconsistency and fix it as soon as possible. Thanks for noticing! Germenfer (talk) 17:24, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Help

Hi, I was developing several flag galleries (commons:Historical_flags), (commons:Flags_of_micronations), (commons:Flags_of_Aboriginal_peoples_of_Canada)

and and many files are of very bad quality. You could correct them sometime.

- Anguilla (1967) [1]

- Zaporizhian Sich

- Catholic and Royal Army

- Captaincy General of Puerto Rico

- Ajaigarh State

- Chamba State

- Chola dynasty

- Shap-ng-tsai

Microntions

- Aeterna Lucina ([2])

- Waveland

There are more bad files there, but these look the worst. If you don't do it, I'll look for someone else.

Hello, I'll digitalise some of them this week. Thanks! Germenfer (talk) 17:24, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

thank you for taking care of this. I can prepare a list of flags to be corrected, but there will be a lot of them. if you would like such a list, write.

Sure, I would love to! I still have limited vectorisation skills, but I'll do my best (and I think will help improve my skills).

Here is the list of flags to vectorize, collected from pages that I have recently corrected. I do not include micronations [3]. I wish you a pleasant improvement of your skills.

Template Edit Proposals

I pospose the country data templates of Mayotte, Guadeloupe, Saint Barthélemy, Martinique, and Réunion to be updated in order to more accurately portray the current flags that represent said territories, by either adding the following flags as "variants", or by replacing the current flags shown by the following:

Saint Barthélemy: Why is it innacurate? The flag shown in the template is outdated (), as the actual flag contains the text "ILE DE SAINT-BARTHÉLEMY" ().

Reunion: Why is it innacurate? The flag shown in the template is the Lö Mavéli flag (), an unofficial flag proposal, when it should be the flag of the Regional Council of Reunion (File:Flag of Réunion (Local).png).

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:The Underground EP - D12 (CD Cover).png

Thank you for uploading File:The Underground EP - D12 (CD Cover).png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

TNLA flag

Hi Germenfer, I really like the work you did with the flag of the Ta'ang National Liberation Army in Myanmar File:Flag of the Ta'ang National Liberation Army.svg. However I noticed that this flag seems to be more specifically the flag of its political wing, the Palaung State Liberation Front, and that the TNLA has a flag of its own, which consist of two curved white swords crossing on a red background, as can be seen here or here. Do you think you could design such a flag ? Unfortunately I don't have the time nor the skills to do so. I thank you in advance. Khiêm1 (talk) 00:13, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
