National Assembly (Vietnam) and related pages
Request
Sorry for any mistake as this is my first time here. Can someone vectorize the logo for the National Assembly of Vietnam? A detailed, comparable but not-exactly-the-same image is attached above if you want to have a clear view of how it looks like, but I want a more accurate version instead of using the one with the domain of the congress's online portal. The logo found in this image (of this article from the Vietnamese National Assembly portal) is exactly what I expect: a circular logo colored after the Flag of Vietnam (or the Emblem of Vietnam), the stylized silhouette of the National Assembly Building of Vietnam with the emblem above the gate, in the central of the image and a flag flying above the building. The bigger Vietnamese line is "QUỐC HỘI VIỆT NAM" and the below line English line is "NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF VIET NAM", please use this English line instead of the domain in the attached Common file, and please also prefer the newer but simpler design of the red logo image instead of the older but more complicated existing file. The file can be licensed under {pd-logo} (with gov insignia template and communist symbol templates) if suitable. Thank you and expecting an early response!

File:World map of total confirmed COVID-19 deaths per million people by country.svg

commons:File:World map of total confirmed COVID-19 deaths per million people by country.svg
commons:File:World map of total confirmed COVID-19 deaths per million people by country.png

Why is the end of the top caption line overwritten by the OWID (Our World in Data)Bold text logo when the SVG file is on the Commons or Wikipedia? It looks like the font size has expanded. Is it a problem with the font choice by OWID?

When I download the file from the source and open it in Firefox the top caption line does not do that. I also don't see a problem when I look at the SVG file at the source: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-covid-deaths-per-million - Click on the map tab. Then click the download tab, and then the SVG or PNG link to get the file of your choice. --Timeshifter (talk) 05:46, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 
Fixed
  Done It's normal for text to be rendered differently for various reasons. As there's plenty of space in the next line, I've moved three words over to balance the line lengths. Cheers, cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 06:22, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
cmglee. I checked in Firefox, Edge, and Chrome. The top caption line is still a problem, not the 2nd and 3rd lines you adjusted.
The top line of the SVG file when viewed on Wikipedia is overlapped by the OWID logo.
The SVG file is fine when viewed outside Wikipedia.
Thanks for: Wikipedia:SVG_help#font-family_issues. OWID must be using a font that Wikipedia can't use. So Wikipedia is substituting another font that ends up being bigger, and thus the top line extends farther to the right. And then the OWID logo overlaps the end of the top line. --Timeshifter (talk) 07:22, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think it was a cache issue, in any case, I moved the logo to the bottom right. Shyamal (talk) 09:49, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Shyamal. I don't think it is a caching problem. I always use Ctrl-F5 in my Firefox browser to pull up the latest upload.

I hope OWID is reading this thread. They may consider moving the logo to the bottom left or bottom right. I pointed OWID to this thread by using their feedback form. I also hope they crop the white space on the right side of the map.

The weird thing is that the overlap of the end of the top caption line is only seen if the problematic (unedited) versions of the SVG file are the current version of the file. The current version is the one used in Wikipedia articles.

If you just click on the old versions of the SVG file there is no overlap. For example this old version I uploaded: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/3/3a/20230310061808%21World_map_of_total_confirmed_COVID-19_deaths_per_million_people_by_country.svg

So here are some other OWID SVG files with the problem:

Because of the overlap problem the PNG versions are found at COVID-19 pandemic by country and territory. Please don't fix the SVG versions for now. I want OWID to see the problem. And fixing the SVG versions won't last long because some of these OWID SVG files are frequently updated here on Wikipedia with the latest version found at the OWID source.

OWID might also consider using Wikipedia compatible fonts. Currently the file has this styling for fonts:

  • style="font-family:Lato, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size:18px;"

For Wikipedia compatible fonts see:

This paragraph seems particularly relevant since an 18px font size is different for different fonts:

Since local rendering should be as close as possible to Wikipedia, it should use locally the same font as it will have on Wikipedia, if available. Therefore always define a Wikimedia-font first. Also, Wikimedia has synonyms for substituting fonts, such as "Arial" for "Liberation Sans"; therefore font-family="Arial,DejaVu Sans" will be rendered by "Liberation Sans" and not (as expected) by "DejaVu Sans". (This is because "Liberation Sans" has the same letter size as "Arial" [metric-compatible], so it is less likely to mess up the text flow.)

--Timeshifter (talk) 12:41, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I got a reply from OWID, and it looks like they are fixing the problem:

Marcel Gerber <info@ourworldindata.org>

Fri, Mar 10, 7:34 PM

thank you for bringing this problem to our attention. We indeed have a pretty simple solution that should go a long way towards resolving the issue (basically, specifying Wikipedia-compatible fonts in our svg exports). We didn't get around to doing this just yet (it's Friday night, after all ;) ), but will do this in the coming days. If you're interested, you can take a look at what the situation will look like after this change here: https://github.com/owid/owid-grapher/issues/1993

Have a nice weekend,

— Marcel Gerber Web Developer – Our World in Data marcel@ourworldindata.org

  Done. The github page shows the map with the new font. A great improvement.

New Zealand city armorial bearings

Request
(Full disclosure: I did already make the same request on Sodacan's page back in November, but have yet to have a response)

Would someone be able to create images for the armorial bearings of a couple New Zealand cities that are currently missing them? Just the shields would be good if the full achievements are too much of a pain.

Namely, for Palmerston North, Whanganui, Tauranga, Upper Hutt, Hastings, Gisborne and/or Rotorua.

  • For Palmerston North:
    • [3] provides an outline and a description of the letters patent. I have already uploaded the image to commons:  
    • [4] for colour reference
    • [5] another colour reference
    • An amateurish version I tried to make myself:

    • [6] in colour with description
    • [7] in black and white
    • photo currently on commons:  
  • For Tauranga:
    • [8] provides an outline
    • [9] provides some description of colours
    • [10] image in a letterhead with colour
    • As depicted on a mug, in blue outline, as already uploaded to commons:  
  • For Upper Hutt:
    • [11] in colour with description
  • For Hastings:
    • [12] in colour with description, but not best quality image
  • For Gisborne:
    • [13] a pretty good quality colour image
    • [14] a more recent, but worse quality, image on the front page
    • [15] a description of the arms, without an image
  • For Rotorua:
    • [16] in colour with description, but not best quality image
    • [17] in black and white, also not great quality
