Image talk:Wheelchair.svg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For some reason this image doesn't appear in some pages, like Capital Area Transportation Authority, however the old blue one did appear... also, I think we should be using the old symbol, as it is internationally-recognized and standardized. --Shadowlink1014 03:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

And copyrighted and non-free. I don’t know why rsvg screwed up in that article, but I changed the size and it seems to work now. By the way, this image is on Commons, so maybe further discussion should be there. —xyzzy_n 04:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't know that, sorry! It's very odd that such a universal symbol is copyrighted... but yeah, I do see now, that it's owned by a standards organization. I'll be sure to post future discussion on other images on WikiCommons when it's there.  :) --Shadowlink1014 04:54, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

The official symbol has international recognition, and should be used wherever possible, within the terms of its free-use (e.g. to show step-free access). Correct uages are listed under International Symbol of Access. It is copyrighted to prevent mis-use. – Tivedshambo (talk) 20:40, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Not sure I like this image very much..... Nssdfdsfds 10:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

This is an awful image. It should be scrapped. Depicts a person with a partial, or shortened arm, originating in the wrong position for a human being. Not all wheelchair users have arms. Most do not have partial or shortened arms. I doubt any have them jutting from their chests. --Lexein 01:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
