Proper tincture and superior eagle from File:Wappenschild des Deutschen Kaiserreiches (1889-1918).svg OddHerring (talk) 23:13, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since heraldry is a bit outside of what I know, I don't know why that version would be better, so could you explain a little for me? Abzeronow (talk) 17:39, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's mostly an aesthetic difference, but the eagle from File:Wappenschild des Deutschen Kaiserreiches (1889-1918).svg is a lot closer to the original depiction(s). Also, the tincture (colour) is wrong for Sodacannic heraldry. OddHerring (talk) 21:26, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll ask two who know more about this than me @Kontributor 2K: @GerritR: for their opinions. Abzeronow (talk) 17:04, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I'm no expert in questions about the coat of arms of the German Empire from 1871 to 1918. But for me, these files don't look miscoloured. (Deutsch): Ich finde außerdem, dass es eine gewisse Bandbreite in den Farbtönen geben darf, solange die grundsätzliche Blasonierung eingehalten wird (siehe auch Kontributor 2K mit ähnblicher Argumentation). Wappenfarben kennen keine RAL-Nummern, Normen oder ähnliches. GerritR (talk) 18:38, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• I wouldn't say that the eagle of Wappenschild des Deutschen Kaiserreiches (1889-1918).svg is superior (which is only a personal point of view), also, the blazon is valid as long as it respects the blazonning, whatever the eagle model chosen by the file-creator; as to the colors of the five files, they are well contrasted, which is not the case with the proposed model, and that's not particularly at odds with Sodacannic heraldry. We can also see on this file, for an example, that several shades of yellow are used, which testifies to some certain care taken in the work. --Kontributor 2K (talk) 17:43, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea who either of those people are, and one of them even admitted to not knowing anything about the topic, so as far as I'm concerned they are just your friends. On what grounds are their arguments more valid than mine?

It's very telling that it took you hours to reply to me, but minutes to reply to them. I had 20-30 minutes or something to make a counter-argument before you denied the request.OddHerring (talk) 00:41, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll hear your counter argument, I thought their arguments would be enough since your arguments so far have been your opinion that it looks better, rather than accuracy or consistency. Abzeronow (talk) 20:02, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Aran Islands should be part of Galway West, not Clare. There's no visual difference in this map, but it's resulting in incorrect coloring on derived maps for individual districts and electoral results. I went ahead and fixed this SVG by editing the source by hand, and was going to fix the rest as well, but if I have to do this every time, I won't bother -- hopefully someone else can take care of it. I'll upload my edit of this though, once approved, and anyone who wants to go through and fix the derived versions can base off it. Tga.D (talk) 01:45, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Curve (i) doesn't start from 0, (ii) goes in huge increments (+0.25, sometimes +0.5), (iii) unequal distances on x-axis (e.g., distance from 0.25 to 0.5 is the same as for 0.5 and 1), (iv) moreover it makes false impression that it may easily reach 100% level.

@Doc James: The enwiki page in which it's used seems to agree with the chart, thoughts? Abzeronow (talk) 19:55, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that enwiki page does not contradict the current figure. However in more details: the enwiki page has a table that starts from MOI=1. The chart starts from MOI=0.25. At the same time, I claim that at MOI=0, y-value equals 1 - exp(MOI) = 1 - exp(0) = 0. And I can plot it. The second issue is distances on x-axis. We have now 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and so on separated with equal distances. I claim that distance between 0.25 and 0.5 is not equal to distance between 1 and 1.5. Shapoklya78 (talk) 21:07, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Finally I updated the enwiki page. Now the table starts from 0. Also I added to the table several values for MOI ranging from 0 to 1. Shapoklya78 (talk) 21:22, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
