Emblem of Yemen

Request
the current emblem and shields are not accurate and needs to get fixed to match the one shown in the website of the president of Yemen (The image itself)--Abo Yemen 09:49, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's worth noting that the emblems currently used by the websites of Yemeni governmental institutions vary greatly, with most of them being extracted from commons itself. Hence I've changed the emblem to what it is today to match what we can guarantee was made by the Yemeni government itself abiding by the constitution by basing my edits to the emblem on the Yemeni passport which appears on its first page (Which has been there since at least 2003). |MK| 📝 12:48, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PS: a very little thumb picture [6], with the two same flags as in the 1st image, seems to indicate that this flag can be a reference color (but with a lighting gradient...).

SVG validation problem... Help please!

Request
This is not a normal image conversion request. I am having issues trying to get rid of an SVG error in one of my images in the validation process.
Does anybody know how to correct this error?
Thank you very much in advance.

MorMor 100Polar (Mensajes aquí) 15:17, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s)
@100Polar:
Validation is often overly strict. The aria-label attribute is harmless, so I would not fix the validation error.
The SVG 1.1 specification did not include data-* and aria-* labels, so they are marked as validation errors. SVG 1.1 files can use a DTD subset to avoid those errors, but WMF rejects file uploads with such subsets for security reasons. Those attributes were added in the SVG 2.0 specification.
Inkscape inserts the aria-label attribute when it converts an SVG text element to curves. Instead of using a font to draw some text, the SVG now draws the text with curves/path elements (aka path text). The aria-label attribute tells us what the text used to be. If I were to remove the aria-label, then I would first turn the g element containing the path text back into a text element.
At some point, putting version="2.0" on the svg element should make these validation errors go away.

Coat of arms of Hải Dương, French Indo-China

[edit]

Article(s): [[]], various articles related to the French domination period of this city and of Viet-Nam in general.

Request
I would like to request the vectorisation of the coats of arms of the city of Hải Dương during the French domination period in the history of the Nguyễn Dynasty.
  •  Addendum, The colour scheme of the Hải Dương municipal coat of arms is consistent as other examples are found here (note that some of the images on the shield are also more visible on it there). I have imported all of these images to the Wikimedia Commons, so here are more general duty (revenue tax) stamps of the French Tonkinese city of Hải-Dương to show more details of the 4 (four) images within the heraldic shield:

Several of the elements found in this coat of arms are similar to the coats of arms of other French Tonkinese cities, for example the mural crown 👑 element is consistent with the Hanoian and Haiphongese coats of arms, though the colour scheme is slightly more intricate.

Similar coats of arms
