Image talk:Hockey field.svg

[edit] Not a copyright violation!

Right-click the image at [1] and save it to your computer. You'll notice that its file name is "420px-Hockey_field_large.png", which is almost identical to the name generated by the Mediawiki software when it made a raster rendering of the image for the image description page, "420px-Hockey_field.svg.png". Furthermore, it is highly unlikely that someone went through all the trouble to vectorize a raster image in a manner identical to the raster image. Usually vectorized copies of images have small differences from the original raster copy.

In short, the image we have is a vector image. The automatically generated rasterization of the image was copied and used on another web site without proper attribution. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 22:31, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Lucy-Marie, note that the image posted here is in SVG format. The image on that website is a PNG bitmap. You can get a bitmap from a vector image, but you can't get a SVG image from a PNG. They took the image from Wikipedia, which they are perfectly entitled to do under the public domain licence I placed the image under. --Robert Merkel 02:23, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Can this image be metricaterd to fall in line with the rest of the article.--Lucy-marie (talk) 12:34, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
