25143 Itokawa has no image. Something was there previously, but then deleted. Now that the spacecraft has come and gone, its many images (and data) could significantly improve the article. Their image use policy is here:
[1] I don't see any problems, but the previous images were deleted. This really is important, as only a handful of small bodies have ever been imaged in detail, and missing one of them doesn't make the article informative. (It is, after all, about the asteroid.)--

Unfortunately the license is only free for noncommercial use, which is not enough for Wikipedia. Unless you can persuade the JAXA to release an image under the
GFDL, I think
the NASA radar image is the best we can do. We can always still link to the JAXA images, of course. —

First you should read the image use guidelines at
the www.jaxa.jp website, which you mentioned yourself at the beginning of this thread. Then familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's
image use policy and
fair use guidelines. As
Ilmari Karonen said, the license is only free for noncommercial use. This is not enough for Wikipedia. --

Estimating World GDP, One Million B.C. - Present has at the end some very nice graphs of how the world's economy how developed. In particular, the explosive growth in GDP/capita after the industrial revolution. I think that similar graphs that can be used in Wikipedia could be created from the raw data the link provides. That would be a good addition to articles like
Industrial revolution,
World economy, and
Economic growth.

A diagram of international optical fiber networks or an example of a local network layout for

Conch Republic: Coat of arms of the Conch Republic. On website only in outline, untricked and -hatched. Who knows the tinctures or blazon?
I would blazon it "On a roundel, sable, a compass rose of twelve, or voided azure, environed of twelve mullets, argent; over all, a conch shell, proper. The motto 'THE CONCH REPUBLIC' above, and 'We seceded where others failed' below" -- but it has been decades since I wore the herald's baldric.

If you're talking about that round seal of theirs, you can see
a colour version on the official polo shirt < fetches own from bedroom > - it's definitely a heurte (roundel azure). Let's see... 'On a heurte, a compass rose of twelve within a roundel of mullets Or, overall a king conch proper...' and then Epopt's motto terminology.
Incidentally, the original flag which inspired the flag of the Republic is on display at the official Conch store on Duval. It's a ship flag dating from the late 1800s or early 1900s. If I'd known, I'd've taken notes! *grin* -- HL Tanarian Brenaur ferch Owain fab Bran, Trimaris (

IANAL, but this appears to be a copyrighted logo. We can use it on the basis of
fair use if
the original low-resolution image is included in an article exclusively about Ottawa Montessori School. But we don't have any such articles at present (
Ottawa Montessori School redirects to
List of schools in Ottawa). Also, any high-resolution or vectorized versions made here would count as
derivative works, so I don't think it would actually be legal to produce them without permission. The same probably applies to the
Spctbadge logo above. I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong. --

Thank you very much for your work! I think the picture is good enough. Good color scheme. Just some very minor nitpicking (if you make similar pictures in the future): In the first case, it might not be clear that there's no intersection. Also, in the second case, the point could be emphasized. But, as I said, that is just nitpicking. The idea should be clear from the pictures.

Riemann sphere needs a drawing for the version being fermented in the discussion page. It should show a sphere, the top tangent plane (or both if it would be better), and a projection or two from the south pole through the sphere onto the top plane. It should clearly be shown that the point on the plane corresponds to the point on the sphere that lies on the same line. Also, the top plane should be labelled as the plane. --
