[edit] License tagging for Image:RGBCube1.png

Thanks for uploading Image:RGBCube1.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

[edit] Isometric rotation images

Image:Wikipedia isometric cube 2.jpg and Image:Wikipedia dimetric cube 2.jpg look kind of cute, but they really need to be cropped in order to be used effectively in the context of a Wikipedia article. AnonMoos 13:58, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

How do you re-upload images? I hate having to rename the files every time I upload them... -SharkD 23:16, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
You just upload a different image under the same name. When I said "cropping", I meant triming away the tastefully colored background, which might add to the overall aesthetic appeal of the image in some contexts, but which only makes image thumbnail display in Wikipedia articles larger than necessary here. See the image description pages Image:Wikipedia isometric cube 3.jpg and Image:Wikipedia dimetric cube 3.jpg now. AnonMoos 02:08, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Nice work cropping the images! -SharkD 02:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
I still can't upload images with the same name :(. Wikipedia keeps telling me I'm not allowed to overwrite images. -SharkD 08:14, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re-uploading problem

The problem was probably because there's a protective policy that you can't upload over an existing image until your account has been in existence for a certain number of days. It's kind of stupid if you can't overwrite your own images, though... AnonMoos 15:56, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your problems with Image:HSLSphere.svg...

Did you ever see Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive#Trouble_with_SVG_image? Lupo 09:00, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Wow! No, I didn't. Thanks! BTW, the reason I didn't use a perspective sphere is because I don't know how to create one (I'm using the Geometer's Sketchpad to design the image and export the coordinates). -SharkD 03:30, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
