Do you want the flag background to be slightly grey per the flag displayed or to make it just as blue as the canton?  Hwi.padam   21:41, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hwi.padam Change the color, but while the flag probably had various shades of blue from the beginning, it's now faded. I think #1e3850 would be appropriate. It would also be good to change a few details of the inscription, "1" is completely different, there is less space between the beginning and end of the lower inscription and the end of the material, the holes in the "o" are less rounded and there is less space between the letters and dots. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 19:58, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will change the color and try my best on the inscription. Since it was pretty much a handmade flag, it is practically impossible to find an exactly identical font. I will modify the paths for best resembling the original ensign.  Hwi.padam   22:39, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki-barnstar of Sarawak
Hi @Night Lantern, I made a slightly different one. My mum worked for a company that made ribbons. They didn't produce any flag-ribbons like the Sabah one. Ribbons are straight, with straight "lane" colours. The Sabah design features a clunky Sovjet design ribbon holder. I think it's much more elegant to use the sun/star in the Sarawak flag as a means to hide the connecting pieces, as they do with crowns on official medals. I used a ribbon that is clearly picturing the colours of the Sarawak flag, and left out the fabric-mimicing elements, as they disappear anyways when you use them like above. The scribbles can only make the distuinguished sign less brightly. Groetjes, Peter (talk) 14:08, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a CoA of the Town Council. The saltire with "alternating" raguly (sticking out parts) seems to be derived from the late 14th Century ¿nobleman? Austell, Sheriff of Cornwall, as seen/refelected upon on the CoA HMS ST Austell Bay, Royal Navy. The AFC and RFC (rugby) of St Austell use a regular "paired" raguly, looking like bunches of arrow shafts and feathers, pointing at the middle of the saltire cross.

Please could these grid storage diagrams be vectorized

Several translations of Grid energy storage
Request
I would like to translate these graphics to Turkish, and I see there are a dozen other languages with this article so I hope it would be useful to them too. For example in Ukraine the forthcoming installation of 200 MW by DTEK is very important for stabilizing the grid and reducing blackouts.

Feel free to adjust if easier for you or if you think will look better - obviously the wiggles in the graph and styles of buildings don't need to be exactly the same. Please ask if unsure. -- Chidgk1 (talk) 13:29, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've uploaded chart B2, above. I've captured the concepts without the squiggles. As I look at it now, I think I should change the big green-to-red-to-green rectangles to a smooth gradient because the storage-to-unloading transitions don't change instantaneously at the vertical dashed lines. I will await word from you Chidgk1, as well as from Femke because of her interest in that article. —RCraig09 (talk) 22:46, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Need new schematic for helicopter article

{{resolved}} Hi. I hope I'm in the right place. The helicopter article is missing a decent diagram illustrating a typical helicopter transmissions. It needs a schematic diagram of a typical transmission. A photo of the item is here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/mechanical_gifs/comments/nnvl1x/hughes_500_helicopter_transmission_uses_only_two/

The schematic can be fairly simple: it needs to show:

a) the three cylindrical shafts (axles) you see in that photo: diagonal shaft at lower-right; horizontal shaft in upper right; and vertical shaft (upper left).

b) two pairs of Bevel gears. Each pair is two gears: one on each shaft. The individual gears are slanted (cone shape). The final pic will have a total of four individual gears, they should be clear in the above photo. An example line pic of a bevel gear pair is at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bevel_gear#/media/File:Beve_gear_schematic.png

The gears in the schematic do not need to be elaborate 3D CAD-CAM renderings: a sketch of a cone shape with several parallel lines indicating the teeth should be fine (as seen in Beve_gear_schematic.png).

The diagram can omit all the other stuff: the ball bearings; the outer transmission housing (case).

Ideally, the diagram would be from an isometric viewpoint (like the photo); but if that is too time-consuming, a simpler "side view" will be fine. Anything is better than what is there now ... nothing  :-)

I guess SVG vector is the best format. I can add textual labels/arrows to the finished product, it is the gears and shafts that I cannot draw.

Let me know if you have any questions, or if there is a better place to post this request. Noleander (talk) 04:08, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I've made a version based on the presentation by John Vaughan in this video on YouTube: Australian Maritime and Heritage Flags, by: Naval Historical Society of Australia, March 11, 2024, at timestamp 47:06. Vaughan shows a flag of different size and colour than the one shown on the commercial website (a company he owned in the past). The "commercial" flag is leaning towards a purple indigo, this one is a ligher blue, but darker than the scottish ones. I've also used the standard size which is in line with the one he shows. Later on in the video Vaughan shows the Scottish-Australian heritage flag, and you can see that the dimensions of flag and stars are different. As the design is pretty basic, and Vaughan says that anyone can fly the flags, I presume that this is flag can be shared without restrictions.Groetjes, Peter (talk) 14:16, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
