Request: trim down blank edging, sharpen... Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 06:14, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

What you're seeing there is Anti-aliasing, very much needed at the native (and small) size of this logo. It will look worse at low resolution if you remove that. gringer (talk) 11:21, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So then it needs enlarged and sharpened. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 16:05, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's a logo, fair use is low-resolution and there's no need for it to be any higher resolution. gringer (talk) 05:42, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from the fact that it's grainy and reflects poorly on the general quality of Wikipedia graphics? More time is spent arguing against this than it would take to fix it. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 07:49, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hard Kaur at the Forbidden City, Singapore

Request:

Remove audience hand.
Too much of red light, make more natural if possible.
Too wide, give proper proportion - crop empty spaces in the left and right, and perhaps a bit of empty space on the top.

Jay (talk) 10:11, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Doesn't look too hard (groan at own pun). If it's still up when I come around in a day or two, I'll fix it. --Slashme (talk) 17:19, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Interestingly enough, just boosting the green did the trick for the colour as far as I can tell. I did the crop and the hand removal as requested, but I actually think the original had a certain magic of its own: it shows the context very nicely; the audience hand and the red glow give atmosphere, and the Chinese Lantern gives a bit of context. But I guess the "fixed" one is a better portrait, so there is some merit in the change. You'll also notice that a higher jpg compression helped a lot to reduce the file size, but I know that's not a serious concern in this case, because most users would just see the thumbnail anyway. --Slashme (talk) 17:18, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PS: You can compare the old and the new at File:Hard Kaur.jpg. Not sure how to get the old one into the gallery. There must be some trick for this? --Slashme (talk) 17:24, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the trick is to not overwrite existing files if you think the original may be useful ;P -Andrew c ^[talk] 00:22, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jay, can you get your friend to email you his or her permission so that we can satisfy the copyright-monster? I guess if you get him to scribble a note on a napkin and sign it, you could scan that in, email it and get a ticket too. --Slashme (talk) 17:17, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Guatemala-Peten map

map
svg in progress

Article(s): at the moment Motul de San José, Holtun, Topoxte, Yaxha and possibly many more Maya sites in the future

Request: The selection of hotels (2,3,4) indicated in the map is biased and could be interpreted as advertising. There are many more hotels in the map area. Please remove items 2,3 and 4 from the map. (I did not post this on the map/lab, since no special mapmaking skills are necessary here. Just a bit of photoshop should do.)

Graphist opinion:

I'll do this one: It can become an SVG at the same time, and at no extra charge :-) --Slashme (talk) 15:53, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks a lot. Since you are doing a new map anyway, you could contact User:Simon Burchell, who is very active on Maya stuff, for suggestions. bamse (talk) 16:31, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, my time ran out this evening before I finished, so I'll get back to it on Wednesday or so (Tomorrow is go night.) Thanks for the suggestion for help. I'll try to copy the diagram as faithfully as possible without the hotels. Still to come: Some text and an aeroplane icon. --Slashme (talk) 19:12, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good job already. I suspect that the road from Santa Elena to Sayaxché deserves a thick yellow line. I traveled on it some six years ago and it was almost completed then. bamse (talk) 20:53, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, added the needed info before go. Please proofread. If the map you see doesn't have a legend, numbers, or an aeroplane, you need to update the bitmap. --Slashme (talk) 16:39, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent! Just some minor things.

I know that because of the limitations of the wikipedia svg renderer it is not easy to get a decent looking svg. It moves text in strange ways.

Actually, in this case, I'd made text to the left of a dot right-aligned and to the right of the dot left-aligned, so I wasn't too surprised at where it ended up.

So with some of the town labels it is not clear to which dot they belong (e.g.
- San Andres,

Yes, my font was a bit wide here, so I made this span two lines.

San Benito, Santa Elena

Those were a bit of a challenge, and even the original was not so clear here, so I used your suggestion of lines to indicate which text goes with which dot.

Also some of the labels are above roads, rivers, etc. which makes them difficult to read. The latter can not always be avoided but

if you move San Miguel to the bottom right of the dot it should be fine.

Good idea, done.

- In areas where it is very crowded like around Lago Peten Itza you could move labels a bit away on empty places and connect the label with a narrow line.

Done.

Maybe change colour of the lake labels to the same colour as the rivers/lake shore.

I didn't like this idea, but if you feel strongly, I can easily do it.

I'd also make the black circle around the red cities a bit more narrow

Done.

and move the triangles outside the map area such that they have equal distance to the map boundary.

Hmm, I'd tried to put the triangles the same distance to the edge of the green block, but OK, done.

Thanks a lot for your fast work. bamse (talk) 17:20, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing: Since the map is mainly in Spanish: change "Petencito Zoo" to "Zoológico Petencito" or change all "Lago" to "Lake" and "Biotopo" to "Biotope". bamse (talk) 17:25, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I guess if we need a Spanish map, it's easy to translate the SVG (A text editor should do the trick!). --Slashme (talk) 16:56, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P.S: What is a good English translation for "Laguna"? Lacune or lagoon? --Slashme (talk) 16:59, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say lagoon, but I am not a native English speaker. Thanks once more for the map. Looks perfect now with the modified labels. PS: No, I don't feel strongly about the label colour. Was just an idea to show more clearly that the labels are for water bodies. I think it is very fine as it is now. Maybe "Yaxha lake" with a capital "L"? Just noticed now the river which ends in San Miguel (also in the png-map). It really ends there? bamse (talk) 22:34, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, done. I also don't know about the river. I guess it will have to stay like that for now. I put in "lagoon" but I have my doubts. Maybe it's just a small lake, so that we should say "lake" instead. --Slashme (talk) 19:03, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reading lagoon maybe indeed "laguna" or "lake" would be more correct. bamse (talk) 23:45, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article(s): State of Sequoyah

Request: SVGify... Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 06:47, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

It is hard to resolve some of the details in the image. I can see the bow an arrow, possibly a plow and stack of wheat, a canoe... but the details are messy. A simple trace won't seem to do. It appears I would need additional information in order to accurately recreate this seal... -Andrew c ^[talk] 16:18, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I made a B&W SVG of the Oklahoma seal. I'll see if I can't start to colorize it, and then also use some of the elements for the Sequoyah Seal. If anyone wants to tackle one of those tasks, that'd be helpful.-Andrew c ^[talk] 16:00, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've started on the colourisation, so I fished this one out of the archive. --Slashme (talk) 22:11, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Will you also tackle Sequoyah? Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 01:04, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I'll see how far I get. Everytime I start a chunk of work, I'll make a note here to "check out" the project, so that whoever else wants to work on it doesn't duplicate work. It'll probably be a multi-week effort, but it seems doable. --Slashme (talk) 10:42, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you need the B&W version of the state seal as well, as it appears someone... has overwritten it? Anyway, sorry I dropped the ball on this. I didn't like the direction my color version was going so I sort of gave up. I have uploaded my latest version. It's more complete than the last rough draft, but still not exactly there. If someone wants to tweak mine, that'd be great. If someone wants to do one on their own and throw mine out, fine as well. What do you think of the latest color SVG version?-Andrew c ^[talk] 18:39, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comic artist for the Wikipedia Signpost

Stale

– DyceBot (talk) 07:04, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not the usual request we see here, so sorry for it not following a strict pattern. I'm seeking an artist that has talent equal to or better than Greg Williams of WikiWorld. He dropped off the radar awhile ago. From his comments it might be better if a name besides "his" WikiWorld is used, but that's more of a personal option for the graphist.

Requirements: Work must be humorous, have text taken from an article on Wikipedia that is not modified, be in PNG file format as the end result, and have the appearance of a webcomic.

Other than that, you have free reign as far as your imagination goes. Some suggestions were left here that were never worked on if you need a jumpstart. Of course, before anything would get published it would have to go under the scrutinty of the editor-in-chief (currently Ragesoss) and possibly others at the Post. Multiple graphists are welcome to submit their work. I hope you guys enjoy this one, §hep ^Talk 01:55, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

hah, gotcha. glad I could help! --Pbroks13^talk? 06:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I made the lines smooth, put in proper axes and de-emphasised the vertical gridlines as it's only a rough graph, but I feel they add a certain sense of the relative balance of the graph. Feel free to revert if you don't like it. Inductiveload (talk) 09:09, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Per the article, I'm pretty sure the 20% line needs bolded. §hep ^Talk 03:31, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It would need two, one for each line, to make the point clearly. The existing image doesn't make this distincion, and the 20% line only refers to the "old" market line. I'll put them in later. Inductiveload (talk) 07:19, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Hi. The original image quality of this is low. Removing the fold marks would be easier if a higher resolution, better quality image was available. Can you contact the editor who contributed the image and get an image at 300dpi (the current image is 96dpi)? I can work with this image, but would prefer if it was possible to have higher quality. Also, re the "scratches"....um, it's not scratches but the trails of bugs who've been happily munching away at this document. I can crop out the trails from the sides of the image, but in the parts of the image which includes Chinese text I can't really replace the correct characters (doi bu qi). --Goldsztajn (talk) 01:11, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request: Could someone vectorize this? I think it would provide a more useful product (especially for those who wish to print) and will make it more easily editable in the future.

Actually, does anyone have access to that article linked as the source? I think our best bet would be to transcribe the relevant data and rebuild and paste the data as the source so that it can be plotted on precise data points and not just traced. If someone has access to the article and could do it that would be great. If not I can send you pictures of the data from the article. gren グレン 22:03, 24 March 2009 (UTC) http://www.sendspace.com/file/5jh202[reply]

Graphist opinion: Just commenting here - this would indeed be much better done by recreating the graph from the original data, not tracing.

Request: I created this image in Mathematica version 6, however there seems to be some incompatibility between the way it was created and the way it is shown in Wikipedia. Note how the axis labels are miss-aligned and compare with the actual image page which looks as it was supposed to. In case this is a browser issue, note that I am using Firefox version 3.0.8. --DJIndica (talk) 12:51, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: It's not a browser thing - librsvg (the SVG to PNG rendering library that MediaWiki uses for the image page and thumbnail renders) has quite a few bugs, documented here. There may be a workaround in this particular case, we had a very similar issue with a graph only a few days ago. I'll leave someone who knows SVGs to deal with this. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 16:33, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is a definite improvement in that with a width of less than 600px the image displays properly, however 600 and above the problem still remains. The two images below have widths of 599px and 600px and they display very differently. Unfortunately the image page displays 600px and so still has the problem.

Probably not, it's a picture of a Unicode font. If it's not possible (or if it's more effort than would be worthwhile), then it's not a huge deal, since the image isn't super-important. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 04:40, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I took a look at that article and the character displays for me so I dug through my fonts and I have a font called MingLiu (I think it came with MS Office) that displays the character like this. It might look a bit squared at the ends at larger resolutions, but I assume that's a correct representation of the character? — ₪₪ ch1902 ₪₪ 15:28, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, MingLiU is a Unicode font so it's pretty good with stuff like that. (PMingLiU is slightly better, just because things are less squished, but it's a trivial detail.) As for the svg, that looks perfect! Should we go ahead and delete File:Zh cheng rare.gif? rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 18:42, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I tried PMingLiU too, but that particular character looked exactly the same. They don't normally deleted superseeded images on Commons, but it is such a tiny image and it is still on en.wiki it might be worth deleting :) — ₪₪ ch1902 ₪₪ 20:54, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I believe this is a proprietary font [6], if so, it will need to be deleted. SVGs must use public domain fonts, list of SVG fonts for wiki here.--Goldsztajn (talk) 21:30, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, darn. I worried about that before when the original version was uploaded (from the Unicode website) but was told it wouldn't be a problem. Looking through the list of acceptable wiki fonts, I don't see any that I know of and can vouch for; WenQuanYi seems to be the only Chinese-specific one, but I've never seen it before. (I can point out that some other Unicode fonts, such as Arial Unicode and Doulos SIL, are notoriously bad with Chinese characters...but they are proprietary as well so that point is moot here.) rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 01:57, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I loaded up the above which uses an open source font...I realise it is not close to the beauty of the proprietary font, but I'm not having any luck finding an open source Chinese font which can give similar styling....--Goldsztajn (talk) 04:49, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(unindent) SVGs don't have to use open source fonts. That list only applies if you want text elements to render correctly using librsvg since that list of fonts is available on the server, they will render correctly. — ₪₪ ch1902 ₪₪ 07:44, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, my mistake...I forgot the important proviso: if the text is not converted to a path, then proprietary fonts cannot be used. Please ignore my (2nd) version and go with ch1902's better version.--Goldsztajn (talk) 08:34, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion: Logo is copyrighted, we can't vectorise per the resolution clause of WP:FU. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 17:40, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Since it is copyrighted, why not leave it as it is? It is best to leave them without modification. After all, it is in PNG format. Zoo Fari 18:06, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Logos are done here all the time. For example, a few in 2009: this, this, and this. Most logos for large, notable companies are in SVG and there has not been a problem. This argument came up before in the January archive and the supporters of vectorizing seem to be in the right. And obviously after an SVG is uploaded, I would request the immediate deletion of the png. Also, one could argue (though I don't feel confident enough to do so) that this logo is PD due to the fact that it's only a typeface. When doing a quick search function in WP:FU and WP:LOGO, nowhere do the strings "vector" or "SVG" exist, so it's apparently not that big of a deal. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 18:32, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I think logo PNGs should not be vectorized. I usually encourage others not to vectorize. There is nothing wrong with leaving a logo as PNG, and it is a huge risk to vectorize, but I guess that is not up to me. Still eligible for vectorization... Zoo Fari 18:44, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How do you see it as a risk? Do you mean to Wikipedia or the uploader? I think this is little more than paranoia but that's just my opinion. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 18:52, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is a risk to the vectorizer. I obviously trust this image, but there are others where vectorization is unwanted. Zoo Fari 18:58, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a problem with vectorising PNG logos as such, but if too much effort is required to vectorise (e.g. guessing the intent of antialiasing from a very low-resolution image), I don't think it's worth it. This logo in particular should be easy and, as a disclaimer in the PNG file page says, "This logo only consists of typefaces, individual words, slogans, or simple geometric shapes. These are not eligible for copyright alone because they are not original enough, and thus the logo is considered to be in the public domain." gringer (talk) 23:38, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, I didn't place those tags there, but I had a gut feeling that that was the case. Didn't feel confident enough to make that call though. But I'd appreciate a vectorization. It's gonna go svg eventually anyway; this product will most likely become very popular once it's up and running. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 17:56, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but this logo is definitely copyrighted; it not eligible to be in the PD. If anyone disagrees, please let me know. In regards to vectorizing it, I would say just wait until they come out with an official SVG logo. --Pbroks13^talk? 23:59, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't buy this. Like I said previously, this will eventually be vectorized and I haven't seen the case where we just wait for (and depend on) the hosting company to create and distribute said file. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 02:43, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, well I made a vector version. What do you think? --Pbroks13^talk? 16:57, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It looks good. The font on the subline seems to be off. Maybe it should just be excluded? The SM is only on the VEVO part, so maybe we should only consider those four letters the actual logo. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 19:11, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please also see the section on lions at this page as a general reference. Feel free to refer to my sandbox to see where I'm going with this. Also note that all lions should face left, as a lion facing right is "toward sinister", a lion looking over its shoulder is described as "regardant", and a lion looking toward the viewer is described as "guardant". For example, this lion is "couchant guardant", and this lion is "sejant regardant". Wilhelm_meis (talk) 04:54, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion:

Well, I spent quite some time a few weeks ago making these images

Might I suggest that these be used as a reference rather than that quite simplistic and untidy-looking lion rampant and passant you give? Admittedly, it's harder to draw them in this style, but if we were to have a whole matching set like this, the effect would be quite striking, I think.

Graphist opinion: Hi, there is a large amount of material in the linked PDFs and a few questions arise: the material seems mostly to be dated from 2003...given universities and their propensity to bureaucratically reorganise at OCD-like frequencies; is producing material like this only going to become obsolete quite quickly? Second, perhaps all the material does not need to be converted...if can you be specific about exactly what you want it would be easier.

Hello. Thanks for the reply. Unless a mayor change in the Colombian law for higher education, the main diagram would not change.

This is the law that Colombia has notified the WTO as current copyright law [9] and the text is translated from Spanish by the UN agency for intellectual property, so I think this qualifies as WP:RS... :) I'm happy to go ahead on this basis, give me a day or two to begin making the diagram.--Goldsztajn (talk) 21:58, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's a first draft (apologies for any terrible mistakes on the translation, corrections welcome...I had no idea about "Control Interno" and "Junta de Seguridad Social"...I did a literal translation for the latter and guessed for the former).--Goldsztajn (talk) 10:32, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. It looks great, but a few changes in the translation must be made. The vice-rector of "Human services", must be changed to "University welfare", "Education" to "Academics", and maybe add to the names of the Vice-rectors the word "of". "Control Interno" is not related to safety but to Internal control, which is in charge to oversee the correct use of the budget. "Social Security Board" is correct. The "Faculty of Technical Arts" should be replaced to "Faculty of Integrated Arts", "Faculty of Social Science and Economics" to "Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences", the "Faculty of Administrative Sciences" to "Administration Sciences". The "University Council" should be changed to "Superior Council". I can wait to see the final version. Maybe you could add some color. Regards -Andremun (talk) 14:53, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Let me clarify some of the translations before I make further changes. "Bienestar Universitario" you say should be "University Welfare", this would be a literal translation. It's not a very familiar description to me, can you describe what that office does? "Superior Council" is again literal, it could be "Higher Council", but "university council" is very common in english as the highest decision-making body within a university. Can I make "control interno", "office of budget management"? Economics in English is rarely referred to as a science (a dismal science, yes!), perhaps "Social sciences and economics" would be better. I hope I'm not seeming pedantic, I'm somewhat familiar with universities, I'm just trying to get language which is most commonly used in English.--Goldsztajn (talk) 22:13, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean. If you think that is the correct translation for those terms, I'll have to agree with you. As for the welfare office, it is in charge of the medical, recreation, and dining hall services, and scholarships and financial help for low income students, among other complementary services to the students, faculty and staff. I think the "budget management" is not appropriated, and something that indicates that is a regulatory office should be used. I don't know if this helps out. -Andremun (talk) 05:00, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, for "Bienestar Universitario" what about "University welfare and services"? For "control interno" what about "budget oversight" or "budget oversight and regulation"?--Goldsztajn (talk) 05:58, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think even "Internal Control Office" would be ok. I see this is a accepted term in English (Even appears in WP), or how about "Internal Audit Office". As for the "welfare", maybe the word services is unnecessary. I think we could reach a final consensus after this. Regards -Andremun (talk) 15:07, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, fixed the text per the discussion here, can you do one final check if it is ok? I'll then clean up the text appearance. Can you give me some suggestions what you would like coloured and where.--Goldsztajn (talk) 03:17, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about the "Vice-Rector for Education". After checking the website of the "Control Interno" office, the office does more than just the budget audit. But also serves as channel between the university and the external audit services, evaluate the management system, budget management, and advise in the decision making process. It might be an understatement to just use the word "budget". I still think that it should be named "Office for Internal Control", since Internal Control seems to be the correct term. As for the colors, I think the boxes could use some color, so it doesn't look so plain. A light blue could be used for the faculties and institutes, a light green for the Vice-rectors and regionalisation offices. I'm not sure what other colors could be used, maybe some yellow or red. I leave this to your artistic criteria. Thanks again for all the help and work! -Andremun (talk) 03:34, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, sounds fine, give me another 24 hours and hope to get penultimate draft done. Thanks for your patience.--Goldsztajn (talk) 07:14, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed the v-rector for education, to academia (see this definition here for my use of academia rather than academics), and used office of internal control, plus colours. Did I leave anything out? --Goldsztajn (talk) 01:11, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It looks great. I'm marking this request as resolved. Please let me know what would be the definite file name to include it in the article, or if you can, please include it yourself.

Request: Greetings. I've noticed that this article has an inappropriate image for the logo. This image needs clean up, retouching, and maybe should be an SVG.

I am not skilled in Spanish, so I am not sure of my accuracy in guessing what those words around the symbol are. The words surrounding the symbol are:

Top: Universidad de Sucre (?) Left: Tecnología (?) Right: Ciencia (?) Bottom: Desarrollo (?)

Greetings. It looks great. As for the licence, I'll point out an information found out by Goldsztajn about Colombian copyright, and which was used for another project, and may be helpful for this one.

Article 32. It shall be permissible to make use, to the extent justified by the purpose, of literary or artistic works, or parts thereof, by way of illustration in works intended for teaching, by means of publications, broadcasts or sound or visual recordings, or to communicate, without gainful intent and for teaching purposes works broadcast for use in schools, education, universities and professional training, subject to the obligation to mention the name of the author and the title of the works thus used.
Article 33. Any title, photograph, illustration and commentary on a current event, published by the press or broadcast by radio or television, may be reproduced in so far as this has not been expressly prohibited.

Also, I think this image fits into the WP:FAIR and WP:LOGO categories, since it is a representative logo of an institution, and the Non-free content criteria could be applied. As for the translations, they are correct. Great job in the graphic. Please let me know if I can be of assistance. Regards -Andremun (talk) 03:55, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The File has been re-uploaded to the article, locally, with the proper information. The article itself has been updated. The Commons one is just going to expire. Thank you very much Andremun and Goldsztajn. -綾波風神 (talk) 20:52, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Good job on the image. There is a small misspelling in the "Tecnología" word (its written as "Technología"). After this, I can mark this request as resolved. Regards -Andremun (talk) 23:00, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
