This specific page is the requests page for the illustration workshop. Anyone can make a request for an illustration to be improved or created for a Wikipedia article. Clicking the "New Request" button will bring you to a standard template for submitting requests, as well as general advice that should be followed.

I have done some clean-up just for personal amusement while between jobs. I must leave it to others now. I would suggest rather than asking here, you should download Inkscape, play with it to see how it works, and fix them. It is best done by someone who has a closer cultural connection with the flag culture in question. Hogweard (talk) 22:20, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Alexphangia You should consider learning some basic SVG skills, as for minor colour changes you can just edit with a text editor. In fact you can just use a phone and a text editor app (I use runestone text) to edit RAPTOR7762Whats up? 08:57, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

@Snow Lion Fenian  Done Swiãtopôłk (talk) 20:01, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
@Swiãtopôłk: Thanks as usual! Just or two things; Regarding Eva Gladys Olaowsine's design, I believe the sizes and positions of the stars in the canton should be modified to closer match the way the stars are displayed in the source image. And regarding Jim Cavanaugh's design, the star on the current version of the file appears to be slightly bottom-of-centre within the disk instead of being precisely in the centre of it. Any chance those could be fixed? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 16:14, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

'Artistic' help required - heraldic escutcheons

Greetings Fellow Wikipedians in the Graphics Lab I am seeking help to improve the page Armorial of British universities. There are two universities without a 'free to use' ie available on Wiki Commons, ecutcheon. These are the University of Sunderland and Teesside University. Indeed ecutcheons are also lacking for the University of the Built Environment and University of the Arts London. Many of the ecutcheons in use in the article have been created within Wiki Commons by 'artists', based on the heraldic descriptions or using a template. I hope there may be a volunteer or volunteers with the skills and enthusiasm for this little project, able to assist ~~hjamesberglen~~ Hjamesberglen (talk) 09:50, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Adjustments to vectorized image

Article(s)
Serpent labret with articulated tongue
Request

Reposting this request that was just archived.

A couple years ago, Afever made these excellent images. They need a couple minor revisions. Could anyone please make the following edits? The images are based on the ones on pages 115–117 of this article; these can be used as a reference for the needed edits. The edits:
  • Top left: Please: 1) remove where the line at the mouth crosses over the tongue; 2) remove the gray from the portion of the tongue which is inside the serpent's mouth; and 3) put a small "A" at the bottom left of the image.
  • Top right: Please put a small "B" at the bottom left of the image.
  • Bottom left: Please: 1) add the three "plugs" (the things with diagonal lines); and 2) put a small "C" at the bottom left of the images.
  • Bottom right: Please: 1) add the three "plugs"; 2) define the end of the serpent's tail (this may require making the surrounding gray area a little larger); 3) make the surrounding gray color (i.e., the part that was added in this image) a bit different (e.g., with dots) than the interior gray color (i.e., the color that's in all of the images); and 4) put a small "D" at the bottom left of the image.

Thanks in advance for the help. If you have any questions, please let me know. -- Usernameunique (talk) 22:16, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
