'''Graphist opinion:''' We'd need the original source data to make a non-free version. That's generally available on each individual county board of election web site, but I'm not about to collate them all. [[User:Kmusser|Kmusser]] ([[User talk:Kmusser|talk]]) 17:10, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

:http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/president/map.html Do you mean something like that? -- [[User:Frightwolf|Frightwolf]] ([[User talk:Frightwolf|talk]]) 19:01, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
::That's copyrighted.[[User:Kmusser|Kmusser]] ([[User talk:Kmusser|talk]]) 19:28, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
:::I don't mean use that (that's the problem I'm having, anyway), but if the NYT is accurate, couldn't we make a similar map in the same vein? If not, then because of the sheer amount of work it would take, would it be possible to find a way to use the NYT map instead? -- [[User:Frightwolf|Frightwolf]] ([[User talk:Frightwolf|talk]]) 19:44, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
::::We could make a similar map, but would need to go to the county results, ideally as reported by the counties themselves rather than the media as the media often don't bother to wait for final numbers to publish and don't usually go back to update themselves (note the lack of Alaska data, and I'd imagine MN doesn't reflect the recounts) - I also wouldn't put it past the NYT to deliberately mis-color a county as a copyright trap. Unfortunately "it would take a lot of work to replace" isn't exactly a valid fair use rationale. However, that said, since responding I did find county level results in a non-graphical format for 2008 that would be usable to create a map if we're ok with media reported numbers (bottom of http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/2008/), if we can get the same for 2004 it might not be as hard as I initially thought. [[User:Kmusser|Kmusser]] ([[User talk:Kmusser|talk]]) 20:26, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::Ah, your talk about the NYT mis-coloring a county is a great point.  I believe dictionaries have made up some words and definitions as a copyright trap, as well.  Good call.  As far as the county results, I believe it'd definitely be useful.  Do you think you and even a few other editors may be able to work on it at some point? My photo program is pretty primitive.

::::::::: Additional corrections: indeed, both former districts (Jaghatu and Bahrami Shahid) were put together to form the [http://www.afghanan.se/Afghanistan%20Mapper/Ghazni%20Map/ghazni.jpg new district "Jaghatu"]. According to [http://www.aims.org.af/ssroots.aspx?seckeyt=372 official numbers from Afghanistan], Hazaras are 73% of this new district (see also [http://www.aims.org.af/afg/dist_profiles/unhcr_district_profiles/centra/ghazni/jaghatu.pdf this official PDF]). So, the color of that district should be yellow. [[User:Tajik|Tājik]] ([[User talk:Tajik|talk]]) 03:34, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::Thanks. Map and legends have been updated. It seems as though there has been a lot of admin changes in that area since (according to [[Ghazni_Province]] that disterict no longer exists.

::Logos are done here all the time.

Most logos for large, notable companies are in SVG and there has not been a problem. This argument came up before in the [[Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Image workshop/Archive/Jan 2009#Wizards of the Coast.27s logo|January archive]] and the supporters of vectorizing seem to be in the right. And obviously after an SVG is uploaded, I would request the immediate deletion of the png. Also, one could argue (though I don't feel confident enough to do so) that this logo is PD due to the fact that [[Wikipedia:Logos#Copyright-free logos|it's only a typeface]]. When doing a quick search function in [[WP:FU]] and [[WP:LOGO]], nowhere do the strings "vector" or "SVG" exist, so it's apparently not ''that'' big of a deal. ~ '''<span style="font-size:small;">[[User:Wadester16|<span style="color:darkred">ωαdεstεr</span><span style="color:darkblue">16</span>]]</span>'''<sub>[[User talk:Wadester16|<span style="color:black">«talk</span>]]</sub><sup>[[Special:Contributions/Wadester16|<span style="color:black">stalk»</span>]]</sup> 18:32, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

'''Request:''' I originally posted this at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Maps]] and they told me to come here, so I'm just going to copy what I wrote there:

I was looking at various images regarding international football, and I discovered that while some of the images used (such as [[:File:World Map FIFA.svg]] and [[:File:Qualifying countries of 2002 FIFA World Cup.svg]] were in SVG format, neither of them respected the Home Nations' borders as they should. While the PNG images that exist do the same, as they are based on [[:File:BlankMap-World-UK.png]], which does should the borders correctly. Is there any effort to create an SVG version of this image, or modify the existing SVG world map to show the borders?
