My compliments and a tip

Hi Phlegmatic, my compliments on the great SVG flags you have created. I hope to see many more of them. Please keep in mind that the naming convention for flags is Flag of xxxx.ext. Cheers! Siebrand 08:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

OK. My method was to give the SVG flags the same name as their PNG or JPG counterparts (except for the extension, of course). Thanks for pointing out the correct convention. Phlegmatic 23:33, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Flag of Melle

Arms are wrong, upper chevron is couped. See http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Melle_(Oost-Vlaanderen)Knorrepoes (talk) 13:07, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

The flag was based on the image at Flags of the World [1]. I agree that if the top chevron on the coat of arms is couped, it would make sense that the one on the flag should be as well, but so far I haven't found a source that confirms as much. —Phlegmatic (talk) 16:08, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Pittsburgh newspaper timeline

Hey I stumbled upon your Pittsburgh newspaper timeline recently. Have you thought about adding the Pittsburgh Press' post-2011 section as an active online newspaper? Or even alternative or regional papers like the Pittsburgh City Paper and the Beaver County Times, both of which cover Pittsburgh-related topics quite regularly? Just offering some suggestions. Having the timeline, though, does help. Thanks! 72.23.164.131 16:54, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. There were scads of other papers I could have added, but didn't want to make the graphic too large or complex, so I restricted the scope to general-circulation Pittsburgh dailies and their predecessors, specifically those that were party to mergers or purchases (hence "consolidation timeline"). I didn't include the regional papers (since there were so many of them), except those ancestral to the Tribune-Review.

While creating the image, I experimented with showing the following minor and/or short-lived afternoon editions of primarily morning papers:

• online "Pittsburgh Press" edition of the Post-Gazette (post-2011)
• Trib p.m. (2003-2011)
• Evening Gazette (1861-1866)
• Evening Dispatch (1848)
• evening edition of Post-Gazette (1960)

but the result looked rather messy, so I left them out for the time being.

Of course, in the future it is indeed possible that I or anyone else may expand the timeline (or create a different one), to include some or all of the items you mentioned.

File source is not properly indicated: File:Flag of Overijssel.svg

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Flag of Overijssel.svg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!
