Changes to Image:Bottleneck.svg edit

Hi, I hope you don't mind that I made a few modifications to your image Image:Bottleneck.svg.

  1. flipped the image vertically: most nations in the world drive on the right side
  2. added arrows to indicate the direction; I was first confused about the image due to the left-handed traffic
  3. centered the road vertically to avoid spurious transparent pixels at the top
  4. removed spurious "floating" taillights just over the cones (without a car)

Hi Smurrayinchester,

I thought I might take a look at the problem with the SVG sign... looking at the source there seemed to be a reference to the castle bmp which might have caused RSVG to panic and stop. I removed it, and it renders correctly! If you don't mind, I'll put up a deletion request for the png. ButterStick 08:04, 5 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I find it difficult to believe that you are the copyright holder of this work. It has no copyright holder, and is ineligible for copyright. Therefore, why do you state that you are the author and copyright holder who has released the image to the public domain?

I would suggest a simple {{PD-ineligible}} template. --24.6.103.162 04:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Smurrayinchester!
 
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Requesting public domain tag for File:WiktionaryEn.svg edit

Hi, I noticed File:WiktionaryEn.svg consists of simple shapes and letters, and may be more properly tagged {{PD-ineligible}} instead of CC-BY-SA. Would you be willing to make this change? This would allow the image to be used unlinked, resolving an accessibility issue (see en:Wikipedia:Alternative text for images#Links and attribution).
