BSicons edit

Hi, and thanks for your recent uploads! Welcome to the immense world of BSicons, so to say ;) I would just like to notice a few points.

The first thing I would strongly recommend you: do not use Inkscape or any other highly intelligent software like Corel Draw. Even if properly employed to create true svgs, these applications introduce a lot of excessive code that only eats space (and increases server load). BSicons by their nature are very simple images, and all parts of them can be easily described using XML syntax. To edit and create such files, it is enough to use the most simple text editors, such as Notepad, Notepad++, KWrite, Wordpad etc. You can try opening File:BSicon KRWg+l.svg or File:BSicon utCPICl.svg in such an editor, and you'll see quite a simple code that can be modified without much knowledge of XML. The result can be previewed, for example, in Google Chrome or in Internet Explorer 10. Most BSicons can be kept under 1KB in size.

Also, please do not forget to add categories when uploading files. All BSicons are currently located in some subcategory of Category:Icons for railway descriptions; otherwise one would be able to find them only by chance. Recently I've been stumbling upon quite relevant icons in most unexpected places, like Category:Green discs or Category:Geography of North Yorkshire. Always such a surprise...

Once again, thanks for your uploads! Don't let these comments discourage you. YLSS (talk) 09:35, 18 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
