[edit] Burning with curiosity

Sorry, Gary, but I just have to know: why on earth did you feel the need to replace the red ribbon image on my userpage with another one? Jeffpw 19:27, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Jeff.

I created a vector version of the Red Ribbon image. I did this because images composed of simple shapes, lines, and letters are often better expressed using vector graphics. These have a number of advantages such as making it easier for subsequent editors to edit them, enabling arbitrary scaling at high quality, and sharp high-resolution renderings for print versions. I have been using WP:AWB to go to all pages that had the old image, and place it with the new one.

[edit] .svg

Hi Gary.. I'm a novice when it comes to creating or modifying SVG images. I have photoshop but can't see where I can save to .svg format. I'm trying to use your rowing oar (blade) template to fill in clubs for South Australia. If you could help I'd appreciate it. Thanks Ozdaren 05:47, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Daren.

Photoshop is designed as a raster image editor, and so it is not equipped to edit .svg files. A .svg file is xml, so if you want to, you can just edit the file with a text editor. This is what I do.

If you want to change the color of a solid blade, you would need to change the bold text:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

If you want to create a blade with a design, I recommend drawing the design in Inkscape, then copy the design svg into the blade template. Please let me know how I goes. Let me know if you get stuck.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:DotA Allstars 6.41 Logo .jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:DotA Allstars 6.41 Logo .jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:58, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Help

Gary, any chance that you could create, when you have a moment, SVGs for Oxford University Boat Club, Cambridge University Boat Club and Wadham College Boat Club (Oxford)? Thanks. --ukexpat 20:42, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of teams and cyclists in the 2007 Tour de France

Hi there. You uploaded the kits of the teams using a fair use rationale. I'm not sure how solid that rationale is, since when I created the {{Infobox Cycling team}}, I was hesitant to include a direct picture parameter as few other sports have this so I thought there was something a little bit odd. I will look into this further next week or so when I get some time to do some reading! The rationale ~~almost~~ certainly doesn't cover use on articles other than the main team page, however, and this is the reason I reverted it from the aforementioned article. Not to say I don't like the idea, I've been looking at ways to improve such lists like that for months, but it is a copyvio of the picture. Hope that explains my actions. If I make no sense or you have any more questions, please do just ask! Regards, Severo^TC 18:02, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

To add, the images you have uploaded will need source information or they'll be deleted. Regards, Severo^TC 19:21, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:Crédit Agricole Jersey 2007 Tour de France.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Crédit Agricole Jersey 2007 Tour de France.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Citroen logo.svg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Citroen logo.svg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Liquigas_Jersey_2007_Tour_de_France.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Liquigas_Jersey_2007_Tour_de_France.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 13:59, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading Image:AG2R Prévoyance Jersey 2007 Tour de France.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:94-7_Cycle_Challenge_Logo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:94-7_Cycle_Challenge_Logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
