Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Progressive Camp, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Orange (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dear Nick.mon, can you please explain why you reverted my edit without explanation? See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Five_Star_Movement&diff=769568534&oldid=769465386 Thank you, --Lommes (talk) 11:32, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lommes: Hi, I explained it in it.Wiki, according to me the image is simply uncorrect because the red circle around the party's logo is too thick compared with the real symbol. However it isn't a big problem, but I prefer the previous version, which I consider more correct :) -- Nick.mon (talk) 11:37, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Nick.mon: Thank you for the explanation. I changed File:Movimento5s.svg according to your suggestion, trying to match the outer border as closely as possible. Can you please re-check the file, and if you consider it correct now, please add the file to the article (also on it.wiki)? If there is still a problem with the file, please tell me what to change. Thank you again. --Lommes (talk) 15:44, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lommes: Well, I think that this version is quite correct, but I don't understand why should we change a logo like the current one, which is taken from Beppe Grillo's blog, the official website of the party. Anyway I can't stop you to do it, but maybe we can discuss in the talk pages with other users about this issue. -- Nick.mon (talk) 17:46, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Nick.mon: Thank you again. The reason for changing the file is that the one from the party blog is PNG Format, whereas the one I made is SVG format. SVG is not a pixel but a vector file, and only describes the shapes in the image. In PNG there are pixel and there is a fixed size (in our case 304x304px), at which size the image is properly displayed. But every other size shows a loss of quality (some in smaller versions, but quite a lot in larger versions). SVG, however, can render in any size or resolution without loss. See for example this huge 2000px version, which was created by the wikipedia software from my file. If there is a high-resolution "retina" display, the mediawiki-software is (at least theoretically) able to create a larger version within the article for these users. If the image is used in a table it can produce a tiny 40px version. And so on. As a bonus, the file size for SVG is usually smaller. Hope this makes it clearer. Indeed, producing SVGs from PNG files is my primary task at Wikipedia. :-D If you still have questions, I am happy to answer them.--Lommes (talk) 21:13, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lommes: Ok thank you very much for the explanation, I must admit that I'm not an expert of SVG, PNG, JPG, ... files. However we can change the previous logo with your one. Maybe the only difference is the name of the party website "movimento5stelle.it", which in the "official" version is slightly thicker and bold, but also the current version is ok :) -- Nick.mon (talk) 23:07, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Nick.mon: Always happy to help. I changed File:Movimento5s.svg again, made the text slightly bolder and put it on a curve more closely matching the original. you see the difference best when looking at the distance of the first "M" and the outer circle. in the previous version it was the same as every other letter, but in the "original" PNG and this new version, the text moves a bit outward (or downward?) at the edges. as a designer, i'd never do it like this, but i am just a copyist here. :-D Is the new version correct?--Lommes (talk) 23:38, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lommes: Yes it's absolutley correct, greate job! Now I will insert your version in it.Wiki and en.Wiki. If I found some symbols to change or create, can I ask to you? -- Nick.mon (talk) 08:45, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For example this one File:Democrazia Cristiana.png, this File:Partito Radicale.jpg, or this File:MOVIMENTO PER LE AUTONOMIE - 3.jpg. There are many many logos to change in the section concerning Italian politics, and if you can do it, it will be great. Of course when you have time, it isn't urgent :) -- Nick.mon (talk) 08:58, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Great. As to the other logos: I have already started. But I will be away for 10 days now, so please don't expect to hear back from me until 23rd or something. Best, Lommes (talk) 20:35, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lommes: Ok don't worry I can wait, have a good week! Best, Nick.mon (talk) 20:45, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nick.mon , I saw that you have created many pages on the italian local elections, but in these pages there aren't any reference to the Municipalities where voting took place. Futhermore, in these pages there are indicated the number of Municipalities won by each party, but there are not sources for these informations. Where did you get those numbers? --Wololoo (talk) 23:11, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
