Ribbons

FYI, I've just started going round adding the following to the talk pages of people who seem to have an interest in ribbons:

I see you are interested in ribbons and medals. You may be interested in the discussion currently in progress at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Australian military history task force‎#Ribbons. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 12:36, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Also, to help identify who these people might be, I've created a sorted list of some of the pages with ribbons on them at User talk:Pdfpdf/Ribbons. (Feel free to add to it should you feel that would be useful, and you have both the available time and motivation to do so.)

I'm glad you added your opinion. I'm impressed with your words - much better than anything I could have said. Thanks. Pdfpdf (talk) 12:53, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

I just noticed your /Ribbons page. (I hadn't noticed that "popup when you hover over it" feature before - thanks!)

Here's my 2¢ worth:

I like the column headers, particularly the silver shading.

I don't like option 2 - the ribbons are too small to see.

You'll not be surprised to learn that I prefer option 1.

Option 3 is a big improvement over option 2. However, despite the opinions of some other people, I really like the ribbon bar and would be sorry to see it go.

.svg files

Jez Dog 14 seems to like the .svg files, but if you look at User talk:Pdfpdf/Ribbons#medals, it's quite obvious that they're not very good. (Particularly "1914 Star BAR.svg", "Atlantic Star BAR.svg", and the so-called "red" on "Pacific Star BAR.svg".) What are your thoughts? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:44, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I personally haven't dealt with SVG files, mainly because I didn't have an image editor for them, and the file size I was getting out of PNG files was more than sufficient (down to ~300bytes for most ribbons). I do agree that some of those ribbons are less than satisfactory (especially the moire pattern ones). Hence on the Australian campaign medals page I stuck with the 'photographic' images rather than the vector images. I also agree that the red on the Pacific Star looks weird... it was on my list of things to do (well, actually my plan was to suggest to Jez Dog that he amend the colours to a different RGB code of red, once I had worked out what that should be). PalawanOz (talk) 12:13, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad you stuck with the photographic images; I've been replacing use a number of .svg with the "photos".
Note: Jez Dog didn't create these .svg files; he's just been populating WP with links to them. Pdfpdf (talk) 13:47, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I was also thinking about suggesting a ratio that matched 100x30px - that was the size I picked for all the ribbons I have done. His 218x60px is ever so slightly different! PalawanOz (talk) 12:14, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I agree, a pseudo-standard ratio would be good, but I'd guess the chances of it happening are indistinguishable from zero. Note that in User talk:Pdfpdf/Ribbons#medals, 115x44 seems popular for .png (i.e. a different ratio again.) By-the-way, why do you use 100x30? Why not 200x60? Pdfpdf (talk) 13:47, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I used 100x30px because it made the calculations when dividing it up into 3,4 or 5 stripes easy to work out. Also - making it 100px (versus 200px) meant less artificial artifacts generated when it was used as a smaller size. Most of the uses for the ribbons were at 100px or less. PalawanOz (talk) 13:58, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I had some success with the moire pattern ribbon for this one - Image:150 Years Commemoration of Bangkok Medal ribbon.png - what do you think? PalawanOz (talk) 12:19, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you did, didn't you. I think whatever technique you used works, and to me it looks very impressive. Pdfpdf (talk) 13:47, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

It took a long time, and was a little complex - involving Powerpoint shading functions and screen captures! I will give it a go for the Atlantic Medal sometime soon. PalawanOz (talk) 13:58, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

P.S. What do you think of the yellow in image:Africa Star BAR.svg? (I think it's too light.) Pdfpdf (talk) 13:56, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

a little wrong - not too light, just the wrong shade. I have found the best source for large images of the medals/ribbons to be the NZDF site - compare the Africa Star there. PalawanOz (talk) 14:01, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

(WWI) Victory Medal

Again looking at User talk:Pdfpdf/Ribbons#medals, there seems to be a choice of three ribbons for the Victory Medal. Two are similar, but all three are different, and I'm not altogether sure that any of them are particularly "good" renditions. (e.g. have a look at http://images.google.com.au/images?hl=en&q=Victory+Medal&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2 ). Again, your thoughts? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:44, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

There's even more choice - I added Image:Victory medal (UK) ribbon.png because I wasn't terribly happy with other versions on offer. It's a notoriously difficult image to do well. Image:Victory-ribbon.jpg is too dull, whilst Image:World War I Victory Medal ribbon.svg is too bright... (Image:Allied Victory Medal BAR.svg is best not talked about!) How do you like my version? Not perfect, but I think closer to the real thing? PalawanOz (talk) 12:04, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I like it very much - I'm about to go replace use of the others with it. But first, it being Monday night, I have to go put the bins out. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:56, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Atlantic Star

What do you think of this one Image:Atlantic Star ribbon.png - compared to this? PalawanOz (talk) 08:27, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Better than anything I could create!

I'll pull out my dad's medals and see what I can come up with. Pdfpdf (talk) 11:53, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, that was interesting; I knew my camera could do all sorts of thing - I've now actually done some of them.

If you look at User talk:Pdfpdf/Ribbons#WWII, you can see Image:AtlanticStarRibbon.png, Image:Atlantic Star ribbon.png & Image:AtlanticStarRibbon2.jpg next to each other. What do you think? Pdfpdf (talk) 11:53, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I like the Image:AtlanticStarRibbon2.jpg - one thing though, it would be better to upload the 'no-copyright' images to Commons, which means that any foreign language Wiki can use them as well. I have done that for all the Thai ribbons I have created, and it has led to some useful collaboration with other Wiki's. PalawanOz (talk) 06:45, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

National Medal with Rosette

Hi. I have a 'correct' and 'picture' version of the NM+rosette that I can put on the site. It has the 'round ring' rather than 'dappled' rosette. Are you interested? Do you mind? Trying to help, - Peter Ellis - Talk 09:07, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

So why not just copy the NZDF stuff and acknowledge "the source and copyright status"? Pdfpdf (talk) 12:07, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Some of the copyright-purists on here (I have other descriptors for them, but won't write here) sometimes have problems with the NZDF images. I personally think their arguments are weak, but, it still causes unnecessary stress. Having said that, I have still used some of the NZDF images, and gone to extra lengths to justify them. See for exmaple Image:1914 Star.png or Image:George Medal Obv.jpg. Using these images to illustrate the ribbon (by 'cut and pasting' into a 100x30px image) could be problematic, as it states that use of the image "is subject to the material being reproduced accurately" - and I am _sure_ that the copyright-purists will jump on that one. PalawanOz (talk) 06:56, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh - and lots of medals use it - see Category:New Zealand Crown Copyright images PalawanOz (talk) 06:57, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Can you download etc medal pix for New Zealand Medal (1869). And the Queen's Mediterranean Medal, Territorial Force War Medal & (when I get round to it) the Transport Medal (1903) if you can get images of them! Hugo999 (talk) 12:52, 15 April 2009 (UTC) PS: have been out to NZDF Trentham, but can't recall the name of the Medals Officer there. PS: Also the New Zealand Cross (1999) if possible.

When things that are the same look different

According to the description pages, the ribbons on the 1914 Star and the 1914-1915 Star are identical. However, when you compare http://medals.nzdf.mil.nz/category/h/h4large.html with http://medals.nzdf.mil.nz/category/h/h5large.html, they certainly don't look identical. "h5" looks pretty much identical to my grandad's medal & ribbon. Have you any idea why h4 looks so different? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 12:17, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

The medals themselves should be the same as well - however you can tell that the '14 Star is slightly darker, probably due to the differing light conditions when the photo was taken. Admitedly, the material itself for the ribbons looks different (the '15 looks "silkier"). I _think_ the '15 is more accurate - and since it looks like your grandad's, I guess it must be!!! PalawanOz (talk) 07:00, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Shalders

"the white space prevents the ribbon bar breaking up, due to the image on the right" - Wow! your screen must be MUCH wider than mine. (And, for that matter, 58.109.43.12's too. I tend to keep my browser windows in A4 portrait ratio.) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 04:38, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

20" widescreen, working at 1680x1050 pixels :) PalawanOz (talk) 08:48, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Interesting - same config as me. Must be because I use the A4 ratio, and you use full screen width? Pdfpdf (talk) 09:49, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Neville Howse

Hi, I would just like to tell you that I have left a reply to the comment you posted on the talk page of Neville Howse regarding his entitlement to the King's South Africa Medal. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 10:35, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for keeping me "in the loop" - most appreciated. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:25, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

"Standards"

I noticed your new VC ribbon; with perseverance, 100x30 will become the standard!! :-) Best wishes, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:57, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Rank

Hmmmm. From what you say, it sounds like "the" definition of "rank" might be much broader than the definition I was using. Rhetorically, I wonder where the definitions of "appointment" and/or "position" and/or similar names stop, and the definition of "rank" starts"? And how much overlap there is?
Not as black-and-white as I thought! Once again, thanks for the information - most appreciated. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:17, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

National Medal (Australia)

Have you got any idea why Image:National Medal (Australia) ribbon.png looks fine in the ribbon bars, but is only 2 or 3 pixels high in the wikitable? Examples: Keith Payne#Honours and awards, Peter Cosgrove#Awards, Chris Barrie (admiral)#Awards, Russ Shalders#Awards and Australian Honours Order of Precedence - i.e. every page where it appears in a wikitable.
Oh. I see it's not your file. (Never-the-less, if you have an answer ... ) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 12:14, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, good - so it's not just me!!! I have no idea... I might look to replace it with a simpler version (it is too big at the moment anyway) PalawanOz (talk) 12:17, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Ribbons "discussion" "revived"

User:Ian Rose has removed the Frederick Scherger#Honours and awards section. I put it back and complained. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 12:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Not final yet, but what do you think of this? Pdfpdf (talk) 05:36, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

I think that is probably the best option at compromise.... but perhaps with a smaller ribbon image? 30px seems to work ok for my monitor, and would still give enough detail for the purposes that I like to see the ribbons included. PalawanOz (talk) 10:27, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Maybe 30px works on your monitor (and mine) but 30px doesn't work very well with my eyes!
Have a look at this. I find 50px comfortable. 40px is OK, I guess. But at 30px, well, I guess it's tollerable. I'll add 20px and 60px before we "go live", but tomorrow being Monday, I should probably get to bed now. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:50, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

To my eye, the 30px seems to be about right, making the ribbon size proportional to the font used in that section. 40px actually makes the line a non-standard spacing. I also think the smaller size will have a better chance of obtaining a consensus. I think the 'pruned' version is probably the best way to go, with an aim to minimising the text in the infobox.

I did have a thought of applying that technique ("{{show}}") to the main article section.... but I guess that won't get much of a foot in the door? PalawanOz (talk) 00:38, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:UN Medal for East Timor.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:UN Medal for East Timor.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Lionel Dorling AfD

I PalawanOz, since you were active in the notability discussion on the article Lionel Dorling's talk page, I thought I would (belatedly) inform you that I have since nominated the article for deletion, and perhaps you would wish to contribute? Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 06:34, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't notify you earlier about this, mate, and you were unable to contribute. The end result was four delete and three keep, although I believe the three who wished to keep the article did not really have enough knowledge in the area to know that the CB and CMG combination isn't really that rare nor is there enough secondary sources on him.

Australia Military Ribbons

I just wanted you to know I updated some of your uploaded ribbons pictures. I used the picture of the actual medal/ribbon from the pages and from here to get slightly more accurate colours and tweaked the CSC, CSM and RFM with rosette design.

I also plan to update the Defence Force Service Medals, Reserve Force Decoration, and the medals as well.

Just thought I'd explain to avoid hurt feelings, some people on Wikipedia can be a bit rude.

Dr. Stantz (talk) 19:43, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up :) Only thing I would say is that the ribbons looks a little 'foggy' to me - like I'm looking at them through a cloud? The AASM and ASM are definitely a little brighter in person. The images here are also fairly subdued compared to the real ones (comparing to one I've got in front of me) PalawanOz (talk) 12:48, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Ribbon colours and sizes

I restored the DFSM & related ribbons to blue & gold. (The medal itself, however, is still dirty orange. I don't know what to do about that.)
Also, I've expanded User:Pdfpdf/Ribbons - I'm working on complete sets 100x30px and 218x60px.
BTW: It seems that 106x30px is yet another "popular" size, so there is 100x30px, 106x30px, and 109x30px(*2). I wonder why ...
Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:58, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Most of the Aussie Medal ribbons seem to be 96 not 100. The yellow might have been off but the blue was better wasn't it? Also does this look better:

":Most of the Aussie Medal ribbons seem to be 96 not 100." - Oh. I had seen a few 96x30px, but hadn't noticed many, probably because I wasn't looking for them. I will do some more investigation. Pdfpdf (talk) 23:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

He he he - well, let's just say that I might have some of the colours not quite right - The basic layout and sizing of white/blue/yellow/blue/white I got from the gazette, the actual shades I made some educated guesses based on the colours normally given to Korean campaign medals. I can update once an image of the medal is released, although I am also trying to source one from H&A at Defence. Any changes are likely to be minor PalawanOz (talk) 00:22, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

• File:Italy Star.JPG is 100x30, but doesn't look "authentic".
• File:Pacific Star.gif (100x30) is better than most, but I wonder about it. What do you think?
• Defence Medal (United Kingdom) has no 100x30 version.
• Korea Medal has no 100x30 version.

Great job boys. By the way, the ADM ribbon does seem a little dull. Particularly compared to the medal on the article page. Any thoughts? --Oliver Nouther (talk) 14:12, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm. "The ADM ribbon is red with black edges, the colours of the Flanders poppy." The wikipedia ribbon, the wikipedia medal, and the ADF medal pages all look different. None of them looks particularly like any of the colours on the Flanders Poppy page, but my memory of the colour of the ribbon doesn't match the Flanders Poppy page colours either, so the Flanders Poppy is probably a red herring.

Here are some pictures of people wearing the ADM: Houston Hurley Crane Thomas Gilmore Tandy Gillespie Symon McOwan

They all look reasonably similar in colour to the ADF medal, and not similar to either the wikipedia ribbon, or wikipedia medal

Cheers Pdfpdf (talk) 16:22, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

I have an ADM in front of me - I have changed the colours subtly of the wikipedia ribbon, and it's now pretty much spot on. PalawanOz (talk) 06:22, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Yep that looks more like it. Nice work once again!--Oliver Nouther (talk) 07:39, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Ribbon bar image permissions

G'day PalawanOz, I have just created a page for Awards and decorations of the British military and there a lot of medals I haven't been able to source ribbon bars for on Wikipedia. I note that you have previously received permission from Megan Robertson (Medals of the World) to use images from her site. Was this permission for all images or only for specified images? My thinking is that if it is a general permission, then using her images pending conversion to .png/.svg would at least get something out there. Cheers, AusTerrapin (talk) 18:56, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

I didn't ask for specific images, it was a general thing. Have you thought about what size/ratio you are going to use for the medals you are creating? I have gone with 100x30px for all that I have created (pretty much everything on the Australian, NZ, Thai and Singaporean pages are linked on my User:PalawanOz page). Having said that, there are many different 'standards' out there... I went with 100px as it was a good number to divide things into for the purpose of working out where 'odd' numbers of stripes went. Not particularly scientific - but it was also what Megan was using for most of her images. The ratio is important, as many of them are used to create ribbon bars, and a ratio different to 100x30 looks odd, and creates problems with spacing etc. Having said that, if I was doing it again, I may have gone with 96x30, as many of the ribbons were actually 32x10mm in size, and a 3x ratio for creating the image would have been useful. Too far down the 100x30 path now though! As another consideration, I also tried to limit the individual image file size to be less than 1kb, and preferably around 300-400 bytes - on those big pages with lots of ribbon images, it made a significant difference in page load times (for those people not on quick broadband!!) PalawanOz (talk) 14:04, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Another point - I found SVG format to be a little limiting for ribbon images. It was a pain to edit/create some images (esp those with 'devices' on them), and I struggled with diagonal stripes! Given that the PNG versions really didnt have a significant blow-out in file size, and also since the images were rarely displayed in a 'large' format, I went with the raster file over the vector. PalawanOz (talk) 14:13, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Had another thought!!! I've had a problem on Commons using Megan's images - the copyright Nazi's there weren't happy with the licencing issue. I couldnt be bothered arguing the point, so in the end for the Commons images I ended up just creating my own. I'm happy to help out with image creation - so long as I can find some good examples to use for inspiration. The UK medals were something that I had been planning to 'get to' PalawanOz (talk) 14:19, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Reference source for TPR Donaldson's Medals

I have re-raised this issue at Talk:Mark Donaldson#Citation requests for honours and awards section and have provided a rationale justifying the use of photographic evidence. Abraham, B.S. was unconvinced by my initial rationale, so I have provided a more expansive one. He is also waiting to see the response of others. If you could drop by and comment, I would appreciate it. Cheers, AusTerrapin (talk) 17:16, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the support! I didn't want to suggest that you should take any particular position, I wanted to let my argument on the talk page stand for itself, however I was certainly hoping to re-establish a majority consensus.

Interestingly, I have subsequently seen in an older conversation on the ODM Project talk page (I think) that there has previously been some concern about interpretation where the image is of poorer quality - particularly black and white or with poor colouration. It didn't fundamentally change my view, but it a scenario where care would need to be taken about whether there was enough certainty to make an unambigous interpretation. Cheers, AusTerrapin (talk) 21:55, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Oman Ribbons

G'day PalawanOz, whilst doing some checing for the Omani medals on the Military awards and decorations of the United Kingdom page, I came across these: Gentlemen's Military Interest Club, Coleccione Militares and OMSA Oman page. This clarifies the medals that Keith Payne got and suggests that the naming of your ribbon images might need updating. I am recommending changing File:Dhofar Campaign Medal (Oman) ribbon.png to "General Service Medal (Oman).png" and File:Dhofar Victory Medal (Oman) ribbon.png to "Endurance Medal (Al-Sumood) (Oman).png". The Campaign Medal was a different medal, entirely and the history behind the Medalit Al-Sumood suggests that its translation is Endurance Medal, not Victory Medal (despite its listing in the UK JSP761). I'm not sure how to rename files, but in any event, I didn't want to be rude and unilaterally rename your good work. Cheers, AusTerrapin (talk) 17:54, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Great work finding that info out - I have moved the renamed images to Commons, and put an RFD in for the originals. PalawanOz (talk) 14:07, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for updating the images and the Ceylon ASI Medal on the UK Military page. Cheers, AusTerrapin (talk) 15:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Order of St-Michael & St-George ribbon colours

Howdy! I haven't been able to find anything definitive about the colours on the Order of St Michael and St George. The options seem to be (File:UK Order St-Michael St-George ribbon.svg and (File:Ord.St.Michele-Giorgio.png). There seems to be more annecdotal evidence for red & blue than for brown & grey. Can you add anything definitive, or failing that, useful? (FYI, Commons:User:Mboro, who is a very reasonable, helpful and pleasant editor, has (quite reasonably) politely challenged my statement that the colours on the .svg are "wrong", and I think I have to agree with him.) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:39, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Found the following: [1], [2] and [3] - it would seem that 'red and blue' wins! I will edit the 100x30px ribbon image to better reflect PalawanOz (talk) 13:59, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

And I guess I'd better apologise to Mboro! Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 14:06, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Having said that, and after some editing, I would agree that the colours need tweaking away from brown/grey, but not as far as the bright primary colours in the svg image. Updated now. PalawanOz (talk) 14:12, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

As usual, I'm very happy with your conclusions. Many thanks. Pdfpdf (talk) 14:48, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

I agree that the primary colour version is too bright and I think that the new colouring is much better than the old colouring, however the perfectionist streak in me thinks that it still needs to be a little brighter, just not as bright as the primary colour version. I previously added some observations over at Pdfpdf's talk page along with some links to examples. Mboro is on the right track about camera angles, there appear to be several factors coming in to play in terms of deciphering the correct shading - lighting/camera angle is one; the fabric isn't always consistent and reflects light differently (in particular, the sash isn't always from the same material as the ribbon); the fabric appears to be prone to fading with UV exposure so the age of the ribbon is significant (recently presented will be more realistic); and the shade used in original manufacture does appear to have been darker in the past than is currently used. For my money, the primary image for site usage should be using the modern colouring, however there may be some value in having a version reflecting a shade in earlier use to provide historical contrast on the main page. Whether you want to tweak the colouring further is up to you. Putting my perfectionist streak aside, I can comfortably live with your most recent update - it is pretty close and short of getting a controlled photo at an investiture,I doubt you are going to get an ideal base sample to work with. Keep up the good work. Cheers, AusTerrapin (talk) 16:13, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

VC Ribbon image

G'day PalawanOz, I've uploaded a new version of the Commons:File:Victoria Cross (UK) ribbon.png. I've darkened the miniature insignia to better reflect the actual colouring of the insignia and have altered the shading of the ribbon subtly based on the shading seen in Tpr Donaldson's ribbon. I made a bit of a hash of the upload - initially I thought it hadn't uploaded correctly so I reverted my change and tried again. Eventually I discovered that the issue was that I hadn't refreshed my cache copy and that the original upload had worked just fine. Let me know what you think. Cheers, AusTerrapin (talk) 09:00, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

I like it - I agree that that is a much better colour match (still a little off perhaps), but good enough for government work :) Yeah, and I have been caught out before re that thing about refreshing the image cache PalawanOz (talk) 10:08, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

100x30px Campaign!

I'm probably your strongest advocate here, but I'm finding that quite a few of your uploads are actually 96x30px. How do you want to address this? (e.g. Do you want me to advise you of the miscreants?) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 15:19, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

How embarassing! Please do (let me know which are my miscreants) PalawanOz (talk) 20:35, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Not really - it looks like, at the time, 96x30px was some sort of "standard" ...

Of course, I can't locate them at the moment! Here are the ones I can locate. All 96x30px unless noted otherwise:

File:Australian Service Medal 1939-45 ribbon.png

File:Australian Active Service Medal 1945-75 ribbon.png

File:UN Korea Medal ribbon.svg 102x31px

File:Defence Force Service Medal (Australia) ribbon.png

File:DFSM with Rosette.png

File:DFSM with Rosette x 2.png

on En is 100x30px, but on commons is 96x30px (??)

File:National Medal (Australia) ribbon.png 97x30px

File:Efficiency Decoration (NZ) ribbon.png

And if you're in the mood, although they're not yours, you could have a look at:

File:DSCRib.gif 106x30px & 218x60px

File:SilverStar ribbon.jpg actually 340x92px

File:Ruban de la Croix de guerre 1914-1918.jpg from 218x60px

File:Ord.Victoriano.jpg actually 448x118px

File:Ord Victoriano 100x30.jpg actually 300x90px

File:Ribbon Imperial Service Order.jpg actually 548x185px

File:Ribbon Imperial Service Order 100x30.jpg actually 500x150px

Others:

File:Vietnam Campaign Medal ribbon with 60- clasp.svg 110x33px - I guess that's 100:30!!

No doubt there are others, but that will do for a start! Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:01, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm working on getting the ribbon template configured for use with Australian / UK awards, so it may pay to hold off on updating the long service awards where they have a rosette. By all means fix the base ribbons. A point to note, on Commons any pre-1975 Australian medal will also appear in the category commons:Category:Ribbon bars of the United Kingdom, and they have all been configured with a sort key to ensure like ribbons are grouped, notwithstanding the multitude of foreign language file names, etc that are in use there. I note the ASM 1939-45 has a 100x30 px version on Commons already. Cheers, AusTerrapin (talk) 15:21, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

"I'm working on getting the ribbon template configured ... " - I don't really want to sound any more stupid than necessary, but which "ribbon template" are you referring to?

"I note the ASM 1939-45 has a 100x30 px version on Commons already." - Yes, it's a "cheap & nasty" "quick & dirty" version that I created. Artists and artisans view such crass versions with disdain - hence this talk-page discussion. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 15:47, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I was referring to {{Ribbon devices}}. Re your ribbon, I wouldn't categorise it badly, its orders of magnitude superior to some of the examples on Lukasz Gaszewski's site [4]. Cheers, AusTerrapin (talk) 12:40, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Semi-related thread

Prompted by Terrapin's comments, I had a look at Template talk:Ribbon devices#Commonwealth Ribbons, and added Template talk:Ribbon devices#(some of the) Oz devices.
I'd appreciate it if you added your opinions/comments/whatever.

Thanks for uploading File:New Zealand Medal obverse.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 05:21, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Meetup 12 June 2011

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that Liam Wyatt is in town, so we were thinking of doing a quick meetup at Brunelli's cafe in Rundle Street (at the Rundle Mall end, near the car park) at 6pm on Sunday, with a possibility of drinks afterwards. So if you're interested we hope to see you there. :) - Bilby (talk) 03:15, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Thai military ranks

What about the Royal Thai Police and the Border Patrol Police? The latter especially functions in military roles, and the former is represented as one of the four armed forces by one of the four "wings" guarding the Democracy Monument. --Pawyilee (talk) 09:20, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Mercantile Marine War Medal Obverse.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Mercantile Marine War Medal Obverse.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 18:39, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:King George V Silver Jubilee Medal.png

Thanks for uploading File:King George V Silver Jubilee Medal.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 16:47, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:CVAustRibbon.png

Thanks for uploading File:CVAustRibbon.png, which you've sourced to http://www.medals.org.uk/index.htm. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

Thank You for the Wikipedia Picture

Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware picture (http:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cocos_(Keeling)_Islands_Airport_-_RWY33.jpg). I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:

http://www.freeenglishsite.com/

I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm

2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm

3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm Slang Dictionary link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm

Prior to retirement, I taught English at several private and public universities in the United States.

Please share this free site with your friends. I hope all will enjoy the pictures and find the English information useful. Sincerely,  Duane Hurst in Utah, USA

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

File permission problem with File:Pingat Jasa Gemilang medal.png

Thanks for uploading File:Pingat Jasa Gemilang medal.png, which you've attributed to http://www.medals.org.uk/index.htm. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

Invitation to Adelaide Wikipedia Users Group meetings

Hi, in case you're not already aware of it, a group of Adelaide Wikipedians has been meeting on a monthly basis since April, with the aim of improving the scope and quality of articles on South Australian topics. We meet at UniSA's City West campus, and our 23 July meeting will have a guest speaker from the National Trust of SA.

This coming Sunday, 6 July, we will be holding our first Edit-a-thon. This will be an opportunity for new editors to come and learn either basic or more advanced editing from very experienced wikipedians, so if you know anyone who would like to get some practice, please let them know - and beginners will be very welcome. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 06:00, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

File:James Rogers VC.jpg needs authorship information

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:James Rogers VC.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

• If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{subst:usernameexpand|PalawanOz}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
  or use the {{own}} template.

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:10, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:58, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 11:28, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
