Should a fake SVG be replaced or remain until fixed (which probably never will happen)?

Yeah, my heading pretty much sums it up. I think that a perfect raster logo is better than an imperfect vector logo. However, this does not Debitpixie agree with.Jonteemil (talk) 14:45, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hey Jonteemil, I am actually perfectly willing to fix the 'imperfect' SVG's asap. The thing is I have no idea how, making raster images out of logos with gradients is impossible as per my knowledge, feel free to prove me wrong. If you can let me know how to create good vectors out of images with gradients and hundreds of colours, I'll fix all the Bad SVG's I've uploaded within a week.

If you can't fix it, then don't upload it. Ask someone who can fix it to do it instead.Jonteemil (talk) 15:00, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Jonteemil If you can't fix it then don't complain about it. Most of the Bad SVG's I'd uploaded were before I was aware of what a Bad SVG even was. I don't do it anymore. I'm asking you to provide a solution, so be constructive instead of hurling thinly veiled insults. Debitpixie 💬 15:11, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Well, that was just a comment of contradiction and illogic.Jonteemil (talk) 15:28, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Jonteemil: You still haven't provided a solution Debitpixie 💬 15:33, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Assuming that the image File:Altbalaji Logo.svg is meant, this is not a vector image - it's a JPEG (a type of raster image) that is pretending to be an SVG. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:18, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Redrose64 yes, I am now aware of that, how do I go about converting the image to an actual vector file? I know how to extract svg's from pdf files but thats about it. Debitpixie 💬 18:39, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
You can't. It's like walking into a car park and from their positions alone, working out when and how each car got there. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:37, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Redrose64 Then how do we fix the fake SVG issue? I know extracting from pdf works but this particular logo is technically an icon for an app, I haven't been able to find it in any annual report pdf's Debitpixie 💬 03:48, 5 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
If you are able to extract a SVG from a PDF then it must be already in the form of an embedded vector image. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:25, 5 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Yes, and there is no pdf that has an embedded svg for the logo in question Debitpixie 💬 16:02, 5 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
In that case, you don't upload the "so-called" SVG.Jonteemil (talk) 20:31, 5 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
I have already explained the reasoning behind doing so to you. I will refrain from doing so from now though. Debitpixie 💬 03:40, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Removal of Kids Section

edit

Prolix Since I am relatively new to Wikipedia, requesting your help to go about the change. I've noticed that the platform doesn't support the Kids Section anymore and it should be removed from the article. The following link supports my argument: https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/tech-news-technology/alt-balaji-ceo-interview-ott-platforms-adult-content-6423886/ Would appreciate your help for the same.

Hi Feebee777, the link backs up your claim. I'll remove the section. Thanks for bringing this up! Prolix 💬 17:56, 24 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
