Allow overwriting of File:US-WhiteHouse-Logo.svg

[edit]

I want to upload scaled up the 2017's SVG and made sure it was proportional, ensuring the built-in version was large enough and reducing the need for extra clicks on Other resolutions. I can also accept the administrator to correct it, I hope it won't be less than the width of the first version, although the textures and proportions of the two are different.

Allow overwriting of File:Flag of the Kingdom of Westphalia.svg

[edit]

The current color palette is too light and looks very bad and intense in some devices, should be changed in the more accurate blue used in military flags, source:https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/de%5Ekwfal.html -- Paolo Interdonato (talk) 15:34, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do we have sources that say the Kingdom flag matched the military flags? Abzeronow (talk) 18:45, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You mean if the kingdom flag was bicolor blue and white or if the color blue of the national flag matched? Because in the first case we have the book "Statistischer Repertorium über das Königreich Westphalen", dating 1813, for the latter nothing explicitally, but if you look at the military flags of all the client states of the french empire (the kingdom was one) the colors match perfectly with that of the national ones, so i think its more than propable that this one is no exeption.

File:Demiromantic Pride Flag.svg

Current version has formatting from Inkscape, taking up 1767 B, and has dimensions of 512×307. I made a version without formatting from Inkscape that takes up 331 B and has dimensions of 800×480, making it so the aspect ratio is exactly 3:5 and so the dimensions are in-line with the transgender, asexual, aromantic, etc. flags.

Just for reminder. This user is possibly suspected sockpuppet of Jordanene7. In regard to his request to overwrite the file, the user don't know that what the file TyraFan638 uploaded is actually FakeSVG because it contain raster elements, so it's an opportunity for the user to overwrite the file themselves.

The current version of this SVG has holes in the striped wires (i.e., inside the borders, only the colored parts actually have a defined color, so against anything other than a white background, the parts of the striped wires that should be white show up as the color of the background instead). I made some minor edits to the SVG adding paths filling in the empty space in those wires with white that fixes this issue, and I would like to overwrite the original with my fixed version.

Allow overwriting of File:Mission Impossible - film logo.svg

[edit]

This SVG, in its current form, is a bit size-bloated due to the fact that it defines unique <path> shapes for each individual letter. This is unnecessary, because there are two M's, four I's, four S's, and two O's. Using a text editor, I manually de-duplicated the path definitions of all the duplicate letters by using the SVG <use> feature. The resulting SVG looks exactly the same as the original, but has now shrunk to 2.43 KB. I would like to upload this new version. Obscure2020 (talk) 17:02, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
