Datasource issues
[edit]Can we please start requiring that vectorization requests cite a reliable source for the existence and usage of flags and other symbols, as opposed to WP:FOTW and other categorically unreliable vendors? There are enough fake and unverifiable flags that are tolerated on Commons for some reason, we really don't need to keep manufacturing more. Remsense ‥ 论 08:00, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

My opinion
[edit]When people request the vectorization of logos at the Graphics Lab Illustration workshop, they're told that when the logo is labelled as a fair use logo, vectorization requests of these kinds of logos would not be accepted by the graphics lab illustration workshop. They tell people that, on this scenario, people should seek vector versions from "official sources and/or the copyright holder". But the owner of the logo could either: Not respond, refuse, charge, or deliver an autotraced version (which is not good). In many cases, the logo is vectorized unofficially, or people would have to go to other places to vectorize the images, and almost certainly have to pay. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 16:57, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
