I would like to update the brown rat distribution map. Currently, there is an ongoing "edit war" between those who recognize the province of Alberta as being rat-free and those who do not. My map includes striped lines over the province, in order to indicate the disputed status of rat inhabitation. EpmKabob (talk) 01:04, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GPSLeo: should I move the current file and then just let the redirect name be used as a new file or should I just allow updates? Abzeronow (talk) 02:00, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Working on this. 3 have been done so far.  Not done on File:Swahili area.gif since it is a historic map (Zaire is used as a country name). GIF is not optimal anyway, and removed it from needing South Sudan boundaries. Abzeronow (talk) 17:38, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zaire was renamed Democratic Republic of Congo in 1997. Since it is a historic map, shouldn't the file name be renamed to include the year? Oirattas (talk) 17:58, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I could rename it to indicate this is a pre-1997 map. Abzeronow (talk) 18:04, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do. Thank you. Oirattas (talk) 18:06, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There was a local contest to create the city's own flag, the flag currently shown in the link is also a duplicate of an existing one and I want to replace it so as not to overload it with a new file. 01:16, 17 July 2024 (UTC)Maroverse (talk)

I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you want. New flags need new files, and source is a coat of arms. What changes do you want to make? (if you're more comfortable answering in Spanish, then feel free to do so.) Abzeronow (talk) 17:46, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, three station was officially renamed, and it was changed on the map (Varshavska, Zvirynetska and Ploscha Ukrainskih Heroiv). Also was renamed the fourth station as on the latest projects of developing of the metro system has a new name (Serzha Lyfaria), see map of potential developing, [2], [3].

Könntest du mal ein Beispiel als neue Datei hochladen? Neu Farbgebungen von Wappen müssen im Normalfall als neue Datei hochgeladen werden. Streitereien um die korrekte Farbe bei Wappen sind einer der Hauptgründe warum das überschreiben beschränkt wurde. GPSLeo (talk) 14:24, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here you go, ich hatte nicht gecheckt, dass ich auf Wikipedia anstatt Commons war, aber oh well https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:DEU_Weisbach_COA_generic_palette.svg

Die Bearbeitung bezieht sich auf https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Wappen#Farbanpassung_ortschaften_von_Waldbrunn_(Odenwald) und die Palette ist Template:Tincture/drawBW.

I originally downloaded this file to correct its uneven borders. It has 31 pixels of padding on the top, 35 on the bottom, 50 on the left, and 16 on the right. I used GIMP to normalize this to 16 pixels of padding on all sides. I then attempted to run the image through my OxiPNG/ZopfliPNG optimization stack, thinking that it would correct the encoding to 8-bits-per-pixel Grayscale (it's currently 24-bits-per-pixel RGB). However, no such transformation was performed. I wrote a quick Java program to scan the image to diagnose why, and I found something peculiar. I found that 243,255 of the pixels in the image were not actually a true gray, but just one tick off of being gray, and only on the red channel, for some bizarre reason. (Example color culprits include #B4B3B3, #565555, and #D1D0D0.) I modified my Java program to forcibly correct the red channel's values to match those of the green and blue channels, and the result is an image that is EXTREMELY similar to the original, but now can be optimized to 8-bits-per-pixel Grayscale. Following that last step, the image is now 14 KB. I would like to upload this corrected version. Obscure2020 (talk) 18:30, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
