Some advice
[edit]Hi. I have some advice for making flags of municipalities of Japan:
1.You may use the script User:Sreejithk2000/JustReplace.js to replace raster images with vector images. Just copy/paste importScript('User:Sreejithk2000/JustReplace.js');
to Special:MyPage/common.js.
2. The proportion of most flag images upload by Mti are inaccurate. Usually each flag has a proportion of 2:3 and the height of the emblem is 60% or 70% of the flag width. You can measure them from actual images of the flags.
e.g.: 豊後大野市 長洲町 大刀洗町 登米市 小川村 Mike Rohsopht (talk) 06:55, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, and thank you.
- I will be sure to take this into consideration with the next files I try to fix and upload. Thank you again, Mike.
- If you could, I would also like to ask some questions from time to time. You have a very great knowledge when it comes to vector graphics and flags. I would be more than happy to talk and learn more. EnviousBird (talk) 14:52, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you. Actually I think my level is only around VG-1-2.--Mike Rohsopht (talk) 18:53, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- I have a question.
- Did I do this correctly?
- If not, could you try and fix it? Just so I can have some sort of reference on how to do it next time? Thanks you. EnviousBird (talk) 21:36, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- The appearance is fine. But the source code is not optimized. The viewBox is unnecessary. The white background is has x/y-coordinates slightly greater than 0 and is not exactly 900x600px. You should set all units to px and set "Scale x" to 1 in "Document Properties" from the beginning.--Mike Rohsopht (talk) 06:52, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
- I see. Thank you! EnviousBird (talk) 12:48, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

- Hey Mike, I'm here again to ask something. I'm having some trouble using the "JustReplace" script and I would like some help replacing this file with this one. I'm not sure what to do, and I'm a bit "scared" since my name has been showing up in the AbuseLog.
- Could you please replace it and tell me what you did to make it work?
- Thank you for always trying to help me. EnviousBird (talk) 14:59, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
In Wikipedia's new dark mode, this file of yours becomes invisible. Could you please update it by adding a white shadow or border so that it can be viewed in both light and dark modes? Thank you.
