Polskie flagi

Z brakujących flag - są jeszcze bandery:

• PZŻ
• JKMW "Kotwica" pl:Grafika:Bandera jach MW.PNG
• YKP [1]

Jednak sytuacja prawna tych bander jest dość zawiła. Z jednej strony ustawodawca o nich "zapomniał" pisząc aktualne ustawy, z drugiej są nadal w użyciu opierając się na dawnych rozporządzeniach. Ciekawe czy w końcu ich status zostanie uregulowany... Radomil talk 21:03, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

LOTD proposal

You have nominated a recent WP:FLC. There have been two recent proposals to begin a List of the Day feature on the main page, which have both received majorities but have not been approved as overwhelming support sufficient for the main page. WP:LOTDP is a new proposal to try to get the ball rolling based on the original proposal. Voice your thoughts on its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 21:15, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Flag of Poland

As you could tell, I been working on the article somewhat recently. I think the article is pretty good so far, but I am do not believe this article is ready for FAC. One example is that I noticed a lot of bullets in the article, which is not good. There are no spelling issues, but I believe Tony1 is fixing the grammar.

Thanks and I do appreciate your help. So far I've been working on this article virtually alone and it's in bad want of a fresh look. I will welcome any further suggstions, additions or corrections from you and other editors. Of course, I will also review all edits to ensure the article remains factually accurate. — Kpalion^(talk) 21:10, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, that is fine, since I am not Polish nor I speak Polish. Gruntbrat (talk) 21:39, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Another thing, can the table at Flag_of_Poland#National_colors be shifted towards the right of the article? Gruntbrat (talk) 21:44, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I tried it and the result was that the right side of the article was too cluttered, especially if you hide the table of contents. — Kpalion^(talk) 21:49, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Another thing, I been working on trying to improve the SVG graphics at the Commons. Except for the white color background, does everything else at Image:Zscouttest.svg look decent? Gruntbrat (talk) 22:41, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but not quite. I don't know much about creating vector graphics, but I think the biggest challenge is to render the fine, gradient shading of the eagle's feathers and crown in the coat of arms. Please compare these two images: Image:Coat of arms of Poland-official.png and Image:Herb Polski.svg. The SVG version uses only two colors, white and light gray, to recreate the whole spectrum of shades of gray you can see in the PNG version. This shading is not quite correct from the heraldic point of view (which is why SVG works fine for most other coats of arms, which have plain colors with no shading), but this is the official version and you can't really argue with it. Another error is the shape of the escutcheon, but that, I suppose, should be relatively easy to correct. Additionally, the shade of red should, preferably, be of the same shade as indicated in the footnote to the article about the Polish flag, i.e. #E9E8E7. — Kpalion^(talk) 00:56, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I can fix the escutcheon. Gruntbrat (talk) 01:41, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

That's fine, but I wonder, if it's worth your effort, if the shading will still look worse than in the PNG version? I mean, what's the point of using SVG for the sake of it, if PNG can do the trick better? — Kpalion^(talk) 01:47, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Because it has gotten to the point where PNG files are being phased out. I was talking to other Polish users on IRC (under the name Zscout370) and I asked them if an SVG version could be made. I was showed the image you display at the right. Plus, I intend to just improve the images so if we do decide to switch to SVG for everything, then we have something that is very close to what the official law has. I also just changed the eagle to the white that was legally asked for. Is the red correct or not? Gruntbrat (talk) 01:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
