Comment Please fix your scope. Your scope is the flag of Mexico, and the only argument that you need to believe and make is that this is the very best image of the Mexican flag on this site. Unless you've checked all the other images of the Mexican flag on this site, you can't make that argument. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:41, 15 September 2020 (UTC)- @Ikan Kekek: , please in spanish please,Also, I ask you please be specific, I don't know what you mean by: "fix your scope" If you give me an example, I would appreciate it.--Aurelio de Sandoval (talk) 14:32, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: Please, what this is the scope?, I don't understand, nor do I understand English, I have to use Google translator and sometimes the translator is not good at translating.--Aurelio de Sandoval (talk) 14:35, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
- Your scope has to be Flag of Mexico. I don't know the Spanish word for scope, but right now, the line in question says "scope=SVG flags of Mexico". The file type is not relevant to how it looks as a thumbnail in an article. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:22, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Aurelio de Sandoval: The general rules about "Valued images" (imágenes valiosas) are available in both English and Spanish. By comparing the two texts, I believe that the Spanish word for "scope" is "ámbito". The rules about "scope" are in English (scope), French (domaine) and German (Beriech). Unfortunately they are not yet available in Spanish. I hope that this helps. Martinvl (talk) 11:45, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Martinvl: Ready, I have already placed the scopes, now can you make my image valuable?--Aurelio de Sandoval (talk) 14:59, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Aurelio de Sandoval: I have taken the liberty of writing the scope in the way in which it is expected - Note that there is only one link. Also, I have removed the item in the global list. If you click on "Global usage" you can see everywhere where it is used. Your image has been used over 500 times!
- Since I have helped you, I will leave it to somebody else to judge whether or not it is a valuable image. I hope that this helps you. Martinvl (talk) 15:28, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Martinvl: Thank you really, I appreciate that you have helped me, the truth is I am not good at nominating images.--Aurelio de Sandoval (talk) 15:30, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Now that the scope is correct, please help us choose which image of the Mexican flag is best in scope. What criteria should we use? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:47, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I have been helping @Aurelio de Sandoval: to prepare VI submissions, so I have rewritten the reason for him. (I e-mailed him to suggest that he consider me as his teacher). I would normally have removed his text, but I have left the struck-out text so that he can see what I have written. I suggest that he removed the text himself so that he can understand what has been done. Martinvl (talk) 16:25, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Martinvl: I have already deleted the previous description, thanks really thanks for helping me.-- Aurelio de Sandoval (talk) 17:10, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: The other criterion they must use is that it is the most used flag in that category and that it is the most faithful reproduction of the flag and that it has an excellent resolution quality.-- Aurelio de Sandoval (talk) 17:15, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
- Comment The fact that a particular image is most used is irrelevant to determining whether it's the best in scope. Resolution is not very relevant, either, as Valued Image Candidates rules require us to judge each photo at review size. So I am still confused about how we can fairly judge seemingly identical images of the flag and find one best in scope. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:46, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Info @Ikan Kekek: I am posting on behalf of @Aurelio de Sandoval: . There are 47 images in the Category:National flag of Mexico. Of these, only 17 are in .SVG format - the preferred format for vector images. Nine are not recangular, leaving eight files. Of these eight, only three show the correct badge in the centre of the flag in colour. One of the remaining three is in a 2:3 format while the other two follow the 4:7 layout specified in Mexican legislation. The main differnece between the two is that one has a border whle the other does not. Since it is easier to add a border than to remove it, I go for the one without the border. Furthermore the descrption of the one without the border gives a full details of the relevant Mexican legislation, including Pantone data. Finally, in the event of a tie, the fineness of the detail should come into play as a tie-breaker. Again, in this instance the nominated file wins. Martinvl (talk) 16:50, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- OK, I understand. If you agree with that, please vote to support. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:58, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
- Nah, forget that remark. I just looked through the files, based on the remarks above. I'm ready to support this one as best in scope, but since there are various types of Mexican flags, I think the scope should specify that this is the "current version, approved [year number]". -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:12, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
