Plain cigarette packaging

[edit]

Dear Stickee,

You created a map about tobacco plain packaging in the world. This document [1] (Article 7) indicates that Burkina Faso has also passed a law and a decree to implement plain packaging. Implementation was delayed by the industry, but they eventually issued a ruling to implement it. Here a source mentioning this rule passed on April 7, 2015: [2] (sorry: in French). They say it has been signed, but I don't know if such an "arrêté" (rule) also needs to be ratified or anything similar to be considered as in force. When it is in force, the industry will have one year to conform itself to it, and one may doubt that they will. I leave it to you to decide if you want to modify your map accordingly. I have to admit that I am not familiar enough with this country to say if this legal decision can have any impact in a short term future. Several African countries have passed laws against tobacco adverstising and promotional activities, but generally the industry ignores them and nothing happens.

Best,

Dear Stickee,
The plain tobacco packaging law is now fully in force in France: as of today, only plain packs of tobacco products can be sold in France. Unfortunately, I don't know how to modify the map that you created and is used by several articles on plain tobacco packaging. Ydecreux (talk) 10:09, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I found a way to update the document. It was not that difficult, sorry for bothering you. Ydecreux (talk) 21:07, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ah thanks Ydecreux. The template the people here at Commons give for the SVG is well designed for easy editing. Stickee (talk) 05:23, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading some images! Did you know that Wikimedia Commons recommends the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format for certain types of images? Scalable Vector Graphics are designed to look appropriate at any scale, and SVG images are easier to modify and translate, helping Wikimedia to distribute knowledge to all of the world. A lot of modern programs support SVG export. If you encountered problems or have questions, don't hesitate to ask me, a member of the Graphic Lab, or the Graphics village pump. Uploading images in SVG format isn't mandatory, but it would help. (To avoid any misunderstandings, please don't just put raster images into an SVG container as embedded raster.) Thanks, and happy editing!

You've just wrapped PNG data (i.e. pixel raster data, no vector data) inside an SVG file. That's not quite the idea.--Flugaal (talk) 09:08, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
