Copyright status: File:United Kingdom general election, 2017 (Northern Ireland).svg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:United Kingdom general election, 2017 (Northern Ireland).svg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the OTRS system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Text in vector images

Please, do not place text items—to an SVG file—as <path>s. It makes images less editable and less reusable in general. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 09:22, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

I know about SVGs. Sometimes it is however unavoidable to convert text to paths because of poor image rendering by the Winimedia renderer. Which image do you refer to? --Furfur ^{⁂ Diskussion} 09:25, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

What in File:Serum protein electrophoresis normal and paraprotein.svg could be “poorly rendered”? Show examples of objectionable rendering, please, possibly as uploaded and then overwritten versions. Anyway, <path> text can be only implemented with good font support; it’s File:Balkan 1912.svg that actually resulted in damaged text not fixable by a couple of edits. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:26, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

I am mostly using Adobe Illustrator and AI has multiple issues with text in SVGs. The image often appears markedly different from the preview. Sometimes this is acceptable, sometimes not. If you need an SVG with text of File:Balkan 1912.svg you can refer to the original Spanish version from which this file is derived. --Furfur ^{⁂ Diskussion} 11:50, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

It’s me who needs to convert a Spanish-text map to German, really? Your wiki needs it—legitimately—but don’t bore yourself (and others) with Adobe for such a job. Open the SVG source file (it’s a text), edit labels to restore spelling from Spanish corruptions and/or to add Germanisms to your flavour. Upload the image then. If some labels become placed poorly, then you (or other editors) can make tweaks by changing alignment attributes or just playing with «x=». Incnis Mrsi (talk) 12:08, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

By the way, actively developed browsers understand SVG natively from c. 2010. They also have tools like DOM Inspector, even built-in functions in some modern browsers, which help to find relevant code simply by activating the context menu over an element in GUI and choosing “Inspect Element”. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 12:27, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

@Incnis Mrsi: Dear Incnis Mrsi, I'm like you opposed to non editable SVGs or vector graphics uploaded in a non-editable file format. But that you are demanding work from a volunteer strikes me. And we're not talking about DOM problems, the problem are flow-texts and the font selection routine of rsvg.--Kopiersperre (talk) 12:29, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

A considerable piece of job was made to remove Spanicisms (stress marks, “Constanza”… ) from an SVG – nice job. But the output turned to have non-editable text and visible text corruptions over Romania. This strikes me, indeed. Have a good day. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 13:15, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

You tone, Incnis Mrsi, is indeed inappropriate. The great majority of my uploads contain editable text, simply have a look! I did not ask you to translate a Spanish file to German – this has already been done. You want to translate this file, presumably to Russian and I suggested that you can do this by using the Spanish file. If there are errors in the text you can ask me politely to correct them. --Furfur ^{⁂ Diskussion} 14:13, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Let’s drop Balkan_1912.svg together with poor fonts and all AI stuff. What about Serum_protein_electrophoresis_normal_and_paraprotein.svg? A virtually language-neutral image suitable for immediate use and translations to French, Russian etc., but… without editable text. What in the word “Albumin” or lone “αβγ” letters (some suffixed with numerals) can be rendered so adversely in MediaWiki? Does such a problem exist actually, or only because you didn’t get to preview each brand-new SVG, before uploading, in Google Chrome or Mozilla to check for defects? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 15:37, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Stop advising me what do. You can ask me something, but don't lecture me. Care for the data you have uploaded. There are several things to improve (conversion to svg, e.g.). Try to improve your graphics capabilities. --Furfur ^{⁂ Diskussion} 20:38, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
