Comparison of tallest statues

The image to add
Temporary image

Article(s): List of tallest statues, and many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, more.
Request: The job is too add a new statue silhouette to the existing image.

Statue of Unity is absolutely huge! It will be finished this month and there will be lots of photos to choose from. (Commonscat).

This is an easy and worthwhile job for a graphics person. I started this silhouette image years ago and it ended up in tons of articles in lots of different language Wikipedias. The new statue in this image will really astonish viewers. I do hope someone takes this job. Many thanks! Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:24, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, the image to add is ready.

It should be added with the top of the head at 240 metres as this includes the base like the others. So, the numbers on the left need to be redone. The statue itself is 182 metres and the base is 58 m. You can make the base just like a squarish thing based on these images. That part is not so important.

Many thanks!!!! Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:27, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can't overwrite the .svg file with a .jpg. I could probably put the .jpg into an .svg file, but that's the sort of hack that could end up not working for some readers. I would suggest simply RfD-ing the .svg file and using the .jpg wherever you need it.

Graphist opinion(s): The SVG renderer used by Wikipedia probably hasn't implemented mesh gradients. This is a bug in the renderer, rather than the SVG file, but we're stuck with such a problem until the renderer is updated to work with meshes. A hack to work around this is to create the mesh as a raster image, then apply gaussian blur in the SVG file to smooth out the pixel boundaries. See File:Blended_colour_wheel.svg for an example of this. gringer (talk) 09:42, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Pbroks13: That's great work, and thanks once again. Just one thing though, would it be possible to make the letters on the pre-1801 version white like on the other one? I know they appear darker in the photograph, but every other photo of the flag I've seen (such as here and here) displays the letters in white, so it could be possible that the darker letters are merely a shadow effect or something else. So sorry about this, I probably should have provided the other two photos with the first request. And don't worry about any other differences displayed in the three different photographs (of which there appear to be a few), being an old flag and all, there doesn't seem to be any fixed design pattern for it, hence the only adjustment I'd ask is the colour of the letters.

@Pbroks13: Thanks once again. Well, if it's convenient, would it be possible for the prancing horse on the Arms of Rohan be replaced with the running horse from the Flags above, and for good measure the background colour of the Arms changed to match the shade of green from the Flag as well? After all, the symbol of Rohan is described as being, to use an exact quote, "white on green, a great horse running free" (not prancing as the Arms suggests). Hence modifying the Arms as such would make it a more accurate depiction of how it should be. And could the new horse be made as large as possible within the Arms as well, and the shape of the Arms retained the way it is in the process? I know this may seem like a rather tall order, but I would much appreciate it if it could be done. Again, thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 13:35, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First, your site has no special authority over Wikimedia Commons’ content and decisions by Wikipedia are not binding for Commons. Second, where is source of the statement that none of ₉₅Am, ₉₆Cm, ₉₇Bk, ₉₈Cf occur naturally in any quantity? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 15:48, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Double sharp and Incnis Mrsi: You wouldn't expect to find any measurable quantities of natural Am,Cm,Bk,Cf, because their half life is quite short relative to the age of the earth. On the other hand "The transuranic elements from americium to fermium occurred naturally in the natural nuclear fission reactor at Oklo, but no longer do so."(Americium#Occurrence) Therefore you could argue that the image should include not just Am,Cm,Bk,Cf, but also Es,Fm as naturally occurring elements. Ultimately, since the image is used in "Synthetic element", it should reflect the article's content. If that's unacceptable to the image's author, we can re-upload the modified version under a new name, replace the image in the article, and revert the original. TilmannR (talk) 04:11, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Incnis Mrsi: As TilmannR correctly states, there is no natural source that could possibly produce these elements in any quantity today. The only source at all saying that these elements occur naturally are those who copied it from us when we got it from John Emsley's Nature's Building Blocks (2011), which cites no source for it (and this is by no means the only howler in that book). His proposed mechanism of multiple neutron capture by natural ²³⁸U is patently ridiculous: the abundance of ²³⁹Pu in nature is a paltry 10⁻¹¹ that of ²³⁸U, and multiplying that by itself to account for all the neutron captures you need to reach ²⁴⁹Cf yields the conclusion that there should not even be one atom of it around in the whole Earth. Indeed, as I detailed at Talk:List of chemical elements#Abundances for the really rare elements, there should be no Bk and Cf left, and even for Am and Cm the expected abundances are so low that there is pretty much no hope of finding them experimentally. Not only that, but while here are many scholarly articles detailing the successful detection of natural Np and Pu, there are none at all detailing the successful detection of natural Am, Cm, Bk, and Cf. Wikipedia has no authority over Commons indeed, but even on Commons the original file would be out of project scope: it has no realistic educational use, because it's inaccurate according to the vast majority of up-to-date reliable sources that independently address the question of how many natural elements there are. Double sharp (talk) 04:45, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The assumption “any nuclide present on Earth naturally is primordial” is wrong. Note that none of the elements 84–89 and 91 have primordial isotopes, although all of them were discovered without any synthesis. Prepare to have your stuff about Am, Cm, Bk, and Cf reverted in any time I found anything about their natural production in academic publications. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:28, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Incnis Mrsi: Except that I never made that assumption: I mentioned natural ²³⁹Pu explicitly in my comment, and that nuclide has too short a half-life to be primordial. The difference between it and the longer-lived ²⁴⁷Cm, for instance, is that there is some common enough process that continually generates ²³⁹Pu from a primordial isotope (single neutron capture by ²³⁸U) in enough quantities that you always have an equilibrium amount of ²³⁹Pu around; there is no such one for ²⁴⁷Cm, as the multiple neutron captures needed to produce it on Earth are just too unlikely. Similarly, the abundances of Po through Ac and Pa – of which astatine, in particular, was discovered by synthesis (because the branches that lead to it in the Th and U decay chains are very rare) – are tied directly to those of their primordial parents Th and U. If you do find any academic publication detailing the discovery of live natural Am, Cm, Bk, or Cf in nature, please feel free to revert, citing the source. But I have significant doubts you will find any such publications that have actually been confirmed. People have been searching for at least the long-lived ²⁴⁷Cm for a while: see 10.1029/JZ069i008p01603 for a negative result from 1964 (contradicting an earlier positive one from different authors).

@Incnis Mrsi: Here is a new source confirming the conclusion my previous searching of the literature led to: elements beyond Pu have not been observed in nature, and elements beyond Cm have no chance of being observed unless natural long-lived superheavies are found.

Irish Yacht Club Ensigns

Article(s): List of flags of Ireland
Request: Alright, I know this may seem like a rather tall order, but would it be possible for someone to try and create SVG files of the following ensigns used by the various yacht clubs of Ireland:

1) Clontarf Yacht Club (minus white border)

2) Howth Sailing Club (minus white border)

3) Lough Derg Sailing Club (minus white border)

Article(s): List of Canadian flags, Flag of the Governor General of Canada
Request: Could someone please create an SVG image of the 1869-1901 version of the flag used by the Governor-General of Canada, which would be similar to the 1901-1921 version (above-left) but with St. Edward's Crown (above-right) atop the arms instead of the Tudor Crown. Thanks.

Oh, and while we're here, could a separate version of the above-left flag be created with the arms and crown removed, leaving only the blank circle surrounded by maple leaves, and could more maple leaves be added to the wreath so that the ends of the wreath meet at the top of the circle. Again, thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 20:29, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@TilmannR: Great work, and thanks yet again. Just one thing though, would it be possible to alter the wreath on the blank governor's flag so that the points of two maple leaves are touching exactly at the top of the circle to create a completely enclosed wreath? It's just that the following image (from 1958) of a blank Lieutenant Governor's flag displays the wreath fully enclosed, and this old photograph of an Ontarian Lieutenant Governor's flag (which uses the same kind of wreath) also shows an enclosed wreath. Hence why I think the above-right flag could probably do with an alteration to reflect this. If that's possible of course. Sorry about this.

Legality_of_child_pornography

world map

Article(s): Legality_of_child_pornography
Request: Could someone talke a look at this image.

There are definitely mistakes.

Russia is colored green (which mean child pornography is legal!), which is inconsistent with the text. Some other countries are colored green, despite not being mentioned in the text - Tunisia, Nepal, probably others.

My hypothesis is that someone started by using green as a default, and changed some countries to reflect the text, but either didn't finish, or some text was updated without updating the image.

It is quite inappropriate to have a graphic suggesting that child pornography is legal in some countries if it is not.-- S Philbrick (Talk) 21:24, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
