missing the Alt-gr key combinations. Standard is to use blue for them, which is given to another key, and there's other errors
Alt-Gr combinations are given in the upper-right in Blue. unfortunately, this keyboard leaves out all but one Alt-Gr combination (and gives it on the wrong key!), instead implying that Alt-Gr does what is in fact done by a dead key. Plus, two dead keys are missing. A and E are going to be very crowded, but not much we can do if we want to show what the keyboard actually does.

What it should have:
TOP ROW
Top left key: Add (in blue) the Alt-Gr combination °. It is not the same as the ° in green, as the one in green is a dead key, and this one is not. It may be underlined. (as per the Italian I° abbreviation)
4: Alt-Gr 4 is labelled as giving the € symbol. In fact, this should be Alt-Gr 5.
7890: Alt-Gr combinations are { [ ] } respectively.
Ö (right of 7890) Alt-Gr is \
SECOND ROW:
Alt-gr Q is @
Alt-gr E is € again.
É, Ý, Ú, Í, and Ó need recoloured and moved downwards: they are not Alt-Gr combinations, but dead-key ones.
Ê Û, Î, and Ô (no circumflexed Y) are created by a deadkey in the third row. Another colour will need to be chosen for them. Also È Ù Ì Ò by ANOTHER missing deadkey, so yet another colour.
The rightmost key in this row, (' ?), has an Alt-Gr of ~.
THIRD ROW:
 and À is missing from the A key, see above.
The key two keys right of L is written almost completely wrong. The dead key ´ is all that is shown (and will need recoloured to match the new colour of É, etc.) shift-´ gives ' (single quote), and Alt-Gr ´ gives the dead key ^ which combines to give Â Ê Î Ô Û
The far right key (+ *) has yet another dead key: Alt-Gr gives ` which combines as À È Ì Ò Ù
FOURTH ROW
Far left key, (< >): Alt-Gr gives the pipe, |
Alt-Gr M gives µ
As you can see, this is pretty much as wrong as it could be.

large universal no circle-and-slash symbol in background: with black, probably best to be very dark red, but still clearly prominent
three galaxies instead of the stars shown in the explosion with arrows showing they came from the center, colored yellow, orange, and red as shown
the planet Earth where the stick-figure is
important: the distance between Earth and the yellow galaxy should be the same as from Earth to the red galaxy
I think that will do it.
When ready, please revert the edit above and
this one please. Thank you.

Graphist opinion: Had a quick go at it, might be easier to start in SVG so changes are easy, and then at the end, use the correct earth image/ galaxy images in a PNG image >

Comment: I don't think that such an image is really appropriate. The cartoonish "circle-slash" does not seem to me to be appropriate for an encyclopedia.

Why does an internationally recognized symbol seem cartoonish?

Why is it needed to have a prohibitory sign anyway? Couldn't the "didn't happen" part e included in the caption?

Article(s): Book infobox thing
Request: We need a placeholder for books without covers. I'm not good at talking using a keyboards so that's all I'm going to say.
Opinions: In my own opinion, I think this could work.
I uploaded an SVG, so it can be easily edited, and unlimited scaling obviously. I added a small border to the left part to make it seem more natural and changed the text to mimic current placeholders. >

IMHO it looks a little too much like a DVD cover. Here are some ideas: Make the binding smaller/marrower (it looks like a mechanical part right now), make the color yellow-ish paper-white, make the surface matte (i.e. no dark-to-light to transition, it makes it look shiny like plastic), and make the corners smaller (less rounded). I'm not good at editing vector images myself—I hope you don't mind me chiming in nonetheless... --

SVG not showing
SVG showing
PNG working right
I have uploaded the map of
Sitakunda Upazila in both SVG and PNG formats.
Image:Sitamap.svg is showing a blank frame, therefore I added
Image:Sitamap.png to the article. But, as far as I know the policy is to upload maps in SVG format. Can someone help me to get this right?

Graphist opinion: Not meaning to be rude, but I have noticed often with your files you say self-made, when in fact you have just taken it from somewhere else, in this case
http://www.propertylink.co.zw/map.cfm, I urge people to exert caution, that you don't spend time making something that will be deleted later as a copyvio.

If the website owns the copyright for the map, it means we can't use the map as it, but if we use the map there and make a vector of our own using it as a model, it's not copyrighted by them AFAIK. --escondites 17:33, 5 February 2008 (UTC)reply
In US law, maps of streets are PD as long as they are accurate. To copyright their maps, mapmakers invent roads that don't exist, or sometimes they intentionally misspell an uncommon road name. I know this because years ago my father's map-making company (the company later went under) was in a copyright dispute with Rand McNally. Usually the best thing to do is cross-reference two maps. --

Phone companies also add nonexistant business to the phone books for the same reason. I spent a couple of evenings trying to find certain eatery in Kalispell, MT.

Is there any documentation, precedent, or official word that says vector fair-use images are allowed? If there is, adding that info to the fair-use template with a blurb that emphasizes the point would probably prevent them from getting deleted in the future. It seems to me, though, that having a vector version would violate the fair use rationale, in that it would make it easier for people to make derivative works that infringe on the original.

That would be {{SVG-Logo}}.
Wikipedia:Logos simply states that vector logos should have no more detail than is necessary to render appropriately at low resolutions. (Actually, it says high-detail SVG logos should be avoided.) {{SVG-Logo}} basically implements an
honor system, stating the image "should not be rendered any larger than is required for the purposes of identification and/or critical commentary."
