Problem with File:Abkhazian Air Force.svg[edit]

Your upload didn't work quite right. I've reverted it to the old version for now, just so there's a working version. Octane 08.01.10 0253 (UTC)

File:Russia new alternate roundel.svg[edit]

Here is the construction sheet I had used. You think there is anything wrong with it? And the angle of an equilateral 5-pointed star is 36°, not 38°.

Вот чертеж, который я использовал. Вы считаете, что что-то в нем неверно? И угол у равносторонней 5-конечной звезды 36°, а не 38°.

Hellerick (talk) 14:28, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I Know, But Official Design attached to the March 4th degree is NOT a equilateral 5-pointed star which is why I told you it isn't 36° after I checked the Image and the bands Appear to be thicker.

Here's the Attached Image I extracted from the Official .doc file (Please note it is slightly misaligned) --Thegunkid (talk) 15:11, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:Officalnewrussianroundel.png

The star on this picture indeed looks a bit not equilateral, but since I cannot tell how much this picture can be trusted (maybe it was drown in five minutes by somebody's secretary in MS PowerPoint?) I won't change the file unless I'll see an official text or consrtuction sheet where it's explicitly said that the star is not equilateral. I already met such cases, when the official description of a symbol did not match the picture attached to a law (e.g. the flag of Krasnoyarsk Kray), and I preferred to follow the text, since it's more explicitly defined. Hellerick (talk) 03:29, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Still regardless of angles, the white and blue bands still appear to be too thin. --Thegunkid (talk) 17:40, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also if it wouldn't be to much to ask, could you do me a favor and vector the Abkhazian Roundel I made since I have no Idea how to make .svgs.

File:Baker's San Felipe Flag.svg[edit]

That was a one-off unofficial flag, so I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of such standardization would be. AnonMoos (talk) 23:42, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's only logical to assume it used the green from the flag of Mexico. --Thegunkid (talk) 07:57, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Your ideas about how standardized flags were in 1830s Mexico/Texas would appear to be somewhat historically anachronistic -- and that's assuming that 1836 Mexican flag green was automatically the same as 2016 Mexican flag green (not necessarily true). A few years back, User talk:Flad tried to standardize all Arab-related flags and emblems with green in them to use a single shade of Pan-Arab green, with results that were not entirely fortunate... AnonMoos (talk) 23:56, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That may be true, but the Green is far brighter than any other complementary flag in either Mexico's or Texas' State Archives, and appears to have been randomly chosen. --Thegunkid (talk) 06:51, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Open Carry County Map[edit]

Thanks for adding the open carry county map! It's a great modification.

There a few additions I think could be made to build upon what you've done.

Colorado - Show Denver County as red, and the rest of the state as dark green.

Nebraska - Show Douglas County (where Omaha is located) as light green, and the rest of the state as dark green.

Oregon - Show Multnomah County as yellow; Show Washington County (where Beavorton, Tigard & part of Portland are located) as light green; Show Clackamas County (where Oregon City and part of Portland are located) as light green; Show Marion County (where part of Salem is located) as light green; Show Polk County (where Independence and part of Salem are located) as light green; Show the rest of the state as dark green.

Missouri - remain light green (as its Wikipedia page doesn't have details on which localities restrict open carry).

Pennsylvania - show Philadelphia County as yellow, the rest of the state as dark green.

I could take a stab at it. But, not sure what software would need to be used. Thanks again. LonghornBob (talk) 14:29, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I made a map that expands on the work you did. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Open_carry_across_USA_by_county-04-22-22.png LonghornBob (talk) 22:59, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know why I got this notification now, but the reason I didn't is Philly and Denver is so small it's very hard to see. Thegunkid (talk) 19:34, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
