image cleanup

Heya FOX, I saw your edit to 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) and I was wondering if you do requests for converting images to svg format.. because I know of a few military emblems I've been wondering about. Anywho, Cheers! — -dainomite 03:22, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I'm just starting to dive into it a little bit, so go ahead and send over you've got. - I'll see what I can do FOX 52 (talk) 04:08, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh awesome! I wish I knew how to do it, I'm not sure what makes things easier or more difficult for converting the images. These have always been on my "to-do" list for if I ever figured it out though.

Thanks a ton, I appreciate it! No rush of course. If there's anything I can help you out with please don't hesitate to ask. Regards, — -dainomite 04:35, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, if you have any more request you can either noted here, or for a faster response try the Graphics Lab - Cheers FOX 52 (talk) 12:36, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They're Scouting emblems in need of cleanup. The GL normally doesn't like to take them because they are thought to be akin to logos. Really it's better to have a nice version of the badge than a crude one. Might you be willing? Thanks for the fast reply!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 12:43, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok can you put a link to it here? FOX 52 (talk) 19:01, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Updating images

Thanks for the image work. When replacing a non-free image, would you tag the old file page using {{Di-orphaned fair use}} so it doesn't have to get tagged as unused. The easy way to do this is to use:

{{subst:or-fu-re|xxx}}. replacing xxx with the new file name. -- Gadget850^talk 18:26, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport logo

Found the logo in far better resolution on the official Facebook page of the Tallinn Airport

Also, the neck of the current svg-version is obviously too long. Could you please remake the logo using the given image above? Anyway, thanks for the work. 129.69.21.134 (talk) 06:26, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Azerbaijan is great! It may be my browser, but does the emblem seem slightly left-of-center in the ring?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 04:49, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have a look and adjust accordingly - FOX 52 (talk) 04:51, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK you were right, it needed a kick to the right - sorry for the slip up - FOX 52 (talk) 04:57, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and no problem! You're making these so much better! Thank you!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 04:59, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

a favor if you can

If/when you have time, can you merge the two images at Fédération du Scoutisme Tchadien into a single graphic? Thanks for looking!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 03:17, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah in a SVG? - FOX 52 (talk) 03:35, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please! Thank you!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 03:58, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! Both are great! Purple is what I had in mind! Thank you so much!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 04:51, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like the Jack Bauer font from 24. ;) I say it looks just as nice without it, and most emblems don't have text.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 07:44, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic, thank you so much! Forgot to tell you at the time...--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 09:54, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

looks fine to me - FOX 52 (talk) 02:14, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I got the message

Hey FOX 52, I've seen the image, it's good I see you have placed (L to R) maroon, black and green. The text isn't similar to the one on the album cover, so it could be possible to make it similar. ///EuroCarGT 20:16, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that's just a sample - I basically took a letter from MS WordArt, pasted it to inscape and sliced it with thin boxes - just need to know what front that is (I'm not sure of the name) - Any Ideas? - FOX 52 (talk) 23:02, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's line art, probably not a font. A best bet is to find a regular font similar to it then slicing it in Inkscape. I'll see what fonts could be used. ///EuroCarGT 23:17, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome - let me know FOX 52 (talk) 23:21, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well font detection programs didn't work, it detects each line as an I or L. Guess it's really line art. Best, ///EuroCarGT 00:42, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ugghhh OK I'm checking some of my usual sources, I'll see if anything turns up - FOX 52 (talk) 02:29, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Flying ace

No objection to the Rickenbacker picture in itself - just that if every illustration in a long article had to be "the most notable" we'd replace every picture in the WWI section of the article with one of Richthofen - and make sure that each picture was one of his most famous portrait at that! A bit of variety, and the odd unexpected (and for that very reason more interesting) picture never hurts. Still, it's also nice to "cycle" illustrations a bit - so I won't argue or edit war over it. Hang in there. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 22:25, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello?

Hey mate, I saw your edit at I-League and honestly I am still very confused? I just simply just want to update the logo to include the sponsorship, I've never had a problem before. Cheers. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 05:17, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

not a problem this was a graphics lab request from Perumalism, I didn't see the point in taking out the vectored, for a more grainier logo. - cheers FOX 52 (talk) 06:54, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I guess that makes sense. I simply just copied from the official All India Football Federation page. Cheers. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 12:42, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tajik Air Force Roundel

Hey Fox52, There's a thread on the Aircraft Resource Center about the roundel of Tajikistan's Air Force: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=281523

In that thread, Linden Hill's research says Tajikistan still uses the old Soviet-style red star, and sometimes their air force crest (which I think you can see in the blue and white Mi-8 in the first photo in that thread), and Tajikistan's flag - which you can see there on an AN-2 and a rather large example on another of their Mi-8s. Not sure if any of that merits a change in the actual article, but as you can see it looks like it's definitely not a green star or was ever a green star. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beingthehero (talk • contribs) 19:29, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's a start in the right direction, now if we can get conclusive evidence aside from the forum (they fall under unreliable sources) we’d be in good shape ♦ Thanks FOX 52 (talk) 21:31, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bell 222

Hi, I changed the position of the File:Bell 222 as the image covers the specification table, at least on my monitor. Chesipiero (talk) 16:39, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

you managed to place it under the "See also" section, which should remain clear of images - the orthographical image is better suited for the "Specifications" section cheers FOX 52 (talk) 17:17, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies

Gday - re my revert on the RAAF article. My edit summary doesn't make sense I realise, sorry I misunderstood your edit.

Royal Australian Air Force

Hi, You restored the eye candy that I had deleted from the list of current inventory at Royal Australian Air Force. I thought the WikiProject discussion had made it clear that this stuff was not wanted. May I ask why you restored it? — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 20:26, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I was on board with keeping images out of tables, not out of articles - few images pertaining to types used by an Air Force I think should be provided - FOX 52 (talk) 20:46, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The rest of the article already has a few images, I thought there were too many in the list section to simply move in with them. As I see it, a list is a list whether it is a dedicated page or just a section in another article. Do we need to get this clarified? — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 07:15, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kenya Army Mi-28 Havoc

You claimed the source didn't list them as being in service HOWEVER, if you had taken time to read the source, you would note the following:"Flight International’s World Air Forces 2013 also lists 16 Mi-28s ordered by Kenya, with 5 DELIVERED".I suggest int the future you read a source rather then simply adding or subtracting from an topic you clearly lack knowledge in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nurse2Be (talk • contribs) 06:16, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the helicopters in question have disappeared from the 2014 version of World Air Forces, which suggests that the 2013 entry was incorrect.Nigel Ish (talk) 10:05, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As well in the 2015 WAF report, no Mi-28's for Kenya, so more than likely a incorrect entry - FOX 52 (talk) 13:55, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cold War Air Museum Operator in Texas, USA

FOX 52, You have removed, at least twice, a reference to the Cold War Air Museum operating two Mi24s in Texas, USA. Your 07Mar2013 removal appeared to be a part of a bulk "Operator" section reorganization to your referenced liking. Your 15Jul2014 removal is much more targeted in that you completely removed our provided reference/subsection and commented: (remove promotional webpage link). Two questions: (1) what is your definition or "promotion" versus "citation" and (2) why would not you simply remove the questionable or controversial "promotional webpage link" rather than deleting the entire subsection? I login to Wiki infrequently so it may be a while before I respond to your answers.

Yes, they haven't still repainted all of them. Oh well, i guess we'll have to wait until they do to write down here what is known right now in Russia and in every air force in the world, which is exactly as reported in those articles, not to enter an edition war. I actually don't mind, honestly. Have a nice day. MaeseLeon (talk) 05:28, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SVG help

FOX 52, I know you do a lot of SVG work and I need your help! I'm in the learning phases and I'm having issues with File:FHSU Tigers logo.svg. I need to add a white background behind the actual tiger itself (much like the one at www.fhsuathletics.com). I have Inkscape, and I can't seem to figure this out. If you would be willing to guide me through it, I'd appreciate it! If I can't seem to get it, would you mind doing it? Thanks, 🎓 Corkythehornetfan 🎓 06:50, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Corkythehornetfan: - You'll need to trace the area you want in white (white fill only, no stroke), and then lower that layer to the bottom. Here a inkscape tutorial on layers that should help. Any problems drop me line - Cheers FOX 52 (talk) 17:42, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FOX 52: Thanks for the link! For right now, if you don't mind, would you fix this? I'll practice with it, but right now I'd prefer an expert fix this file... Also, the code might need cleaned up, too... not sure why gradient is in there when there isn't any. Lol Thanks, Corkythehornetfan 🎓 05:30, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kuwaiti Air Force

Hey FOX 52 , Please stop throwing stuff out of the Kuwaiti Air Force page, as i've worked long and hard to gather these information, such as you have edited the Number of the S-92 helicopters to 2, while infact Kuwait owns 3, serial numbers are ( KAF991 - KAF992 - KAF993 ) ,, and you have put the Number of the F18C to 27 while its actually 32 F18Cs and 7 F18Ds .

FOX

Yes you're right they do change due to accidents and running into maintaince issues which happened to only one of the Aircrafts which was an F18D and thats why they have 39 in service rather than 40, no other plane had any accidents or issues that we know about or got reported. and dont rely only on one source sometimes it can be mistakes :) i'll gather further information and sources - for now have a wonderful day mate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IHardned (talk • contribs) 06:30, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Romanian Air Force

Cristi1457 (talk) 06:29, 3 May 2017 (UTC)FOX 52 As a Romanian, following the press releases of the National Defense Ministry of Romania and the ROAF official website, I can provide the correct information. Today, the Romanian Air Force page is incomplete, thanks to your hard work to destroy the work of others.[reply]

I second this. Just because certain items failed to appear on "World Air Forces 2017" doesn't mean that they don't exist. I would understand if the sources would be completely outdated but that's not the case. The source which I have added regarding the F-16's (regarding the delivery of the last 3 of the 9 total aircraft currently in use more precisely) was dated "December 19, 2016" (http://www.defenseworld.net/news/18000/Romania_Receives_Three_More_Portugese_F_16_Jets#.WQqG9aKYKAR). Some of the other sources (not necessarily added by me) was the air force's own website which makes me ask how is "World Air Forces 2017" more reliable than the organization actually using those items. Regarding your previous edits to the user above your edits stated "restore sourced content" but he did add the sources. I don't see how , as previous references were dated 2015-2016 (one of which was December 2016) , the lack of new sources (even on a list presumably holding a list of items) justifies the deletion of recently sourced items as long as there's no news of them ever disappearing ,being phased out or similar.

P.S. Ironically enough , the ZSU-57-2 , a system which was replaced by the Gepard (which has removed from the list) and phased out in the 1990's is still on the list. Romdwolf (talk) 02:08, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And you may add any pertinent information as long it is verified by a reliable source. If not I may remove it per WP:PROVEIT - FOX 52 (talk) 02:22, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

IAF table according to types

I'm sorry FOX but that edit gives an erroneous impression as to IAF strengths and uses by type. Only flight international appears to be under the delusion that the F15 B/D and the F16D are not in combat roles. The F15 B/D are used as supplimentary F15I's in the strike role, effectively giving the IAF 2 F-15I squadrons. Also note the recent aquisition of 11 F-15B/D from the U.S.A.F. Also the Israelis have just purchased 30 the new 'Lavi' advanced trainers so they are not short of ultra modern training platforms. See this excellent article http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/the-amazing-saga-of-how-israel-turned-its-f-15s-into-mu-1701606283 for added info on this. Simon. Irondome (talk) 21:25, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Irondome: Simon the note section is there for that very purpose and the use of dual citation(s) (WP:CITEKILL) is only make more of a mess for the reader. As per the guideline WP:WHENTABLE - avoid cramming detailed information into table entrie(s), the reader should be able to click a Wikilink to see detailed article corresponding concise table entry - I will try to retain the pertinent information but that table needs to be streamline. Cheers FOX 52 (talk) 23:13, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FOX, that would be fine. My only problem was the source which claimed an unfeasably high number of operational aircraft earmarked as trainers. The two other sources on the existing table flatly contradict this. I would suggest your new table with the majority source consensus as to their roles. Did you read the link I gave by the way? Interesting stuff and completely unmentioned on WP. It looks a well researched WP:RS. It would make an interesting article, Israeli F-15 B/D Modifications. Cheers Simon. Irondome (talk). We would need more sources though. 23:31, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll use the ISS source - FOX 52 (talk) 02:05, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

By using ISS you claim that IAF has 224 F-16C/D/I. But how many of them are F-16C single-seaters, F-16D two-seater, and unique F-16I's? The reader should be able to click a Wikilink to see detailed article corresponding concise table entry, but there is no article other than this one to tell the reader IAF has 98 F-16I's, 78 F-16C's, and 49 F-16D's. And this is just one example. Your 'streamlining' makes the entire table useless for me. Flayer (talk) 17:03, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Flayer: The problem with presenting two sources is you've made some assumptions (ei: FG has 67 F-15A/C/I’s in inventory, and then you’re taking IISS numbers which states there are 33 F-15A/C & 25 I’s and then splitting the difference). It implies that FG has it at 42 F-15A/C’s and 25 I’s, which is misleading since it cannot be confirmed as they have grouped all the variants together - And remember the table should be for all readers, so it would not be useless to them - Thoughts @BilCat: @Irondome: - FOX 52 (talk) 23:54, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

25 F-15I's and 42 F-15A/C’s can be easily confirmed by FG. Flayer (talk) 07:16, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Then why didn't you use that source in the first place? FOX 52 (talk) 07:29, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think it was accidently overridden by the FG pdf. Flayer (talk) 12:01, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SA Air Force page "too many pics"

Hi Fox 52 appreciate your interest. Thought all the pics were fundamental to the page as this is the second oldest air force in the world. Your comments are noted. The unit organigrams have been found to be very useful to local researchers in South Africa to understand especially how the SAAF functioned during the bush war. i.e. maybe not of fundamental interest to someone in the United States but definitely important to South Africans. Kind regards.

Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star

Fox, I'm trying hard not to make an issue of every infobox image change you've been making. However, using a T-33 image in the infobox of the F-80 article isn't a good idea. If the rightly-blocked User:Hoggardhigh hadn't intervened, I'd have reverted it myself if I had realized it was a T-33. I don't think the previous image is so bad that we have to have an image of another, albeit very closely related type. Once the Hog is prevented from editing the article, I'll probably change it back, unless I can find a better image. Most of the good in-flight images are black-and-white, and I'd prefer a color one, if available. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 17:20, 10 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi FOX 52. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback should never be used to edit war.
If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Widr (talk) 19:36, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

F-104 images

Greetings, FOX 52, I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to give you an update regarding our earlier conversation about the F-104 Starfighter—I've not had any luck obtaining any images from Lockheed, but I am still trying. In the meantime I did locate a number of images already out on Wikimedia Commons, and I was wondering if you had any thoughts on them. I've put a gallery out on Talk:Lockheed F-104 Starfighter; I didn't know if you were watching that page so I thought I would ping you here. I would very much like to hear what you think. :) None of them are perfect but they have potential.

Emblem caption on Sri Lanka Air Force

Hi @FOX 52: I noticed you brought back the emblem caption on the infobox over at the Sri Lanka Air Force page that I'd taken off. I did it mostly because either the Army or the Navy page (can't remember which it was) had no caption, and I saw no reason to clutter up the infobox unnecessarily and tell a reader the emblem was, in fact, an emblem- it should be pretty obvious to everyone that they're looking at the emblem of the armed service being discussed in the article. I was hoping to make the three armed services' pages look more like each other, with less differences in formatting etc., so I'm wondering if you have any objection to me taking the caption off entirely again, and leaving it that way :) - ක - (talk) 07:00, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Jesuschristonacamel: We can't assume the reader knows what is displayed in the info box, that's why we have a caption section in the edit page. This is Manual of Style policy for all info boxes - ie: Romanian Air Force, Philippine Air Force,Military of Ivory Coast etc... So for you to start eliminating the captions really doesn't help the reader. (my opinion it's best to leave them in) - FOX 52 (talk) 07:52, 5 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

RNLAF aircraft inventory

Dear FOX52, Please, do not change the aircraft inventory table of the Royal Netherlands Air Force. The information you provide is based on a incorrect source (Worldairforces). Please visit the official website of the RNLAF: https://www.defensie.nl/organisatie/luchtmacht/materieel/vliegtuigen-en-helikopters. As you can see there, the RNLAF DOES NOT HAVE KC-10's, but KDC-10's. These are former commercial DC-10's which are converted to a tanker aircraft. Moreover, the RNLAF DOES NOT HAVE a Learjet 36, but a Gulfstream IV which is used for VIP transport. Furthermore, the RNLAF has 4 C-130's (not three) and has 20 NH-90 helicopters INSTEAD OF 17.
