[edit] Finding or creating an icon

I figured I'd like to create a stub template for rave-related articles for WikiProject Rave of which I'm a participant. I figure I could either create a new icon image from an existing free image (such as the image already being used in the project bannet) or find a free icon somewhere. This page states that it wants to provide external links to free icon collections (among other things). At random I clicked my way to the Iconaholic site finding no statement there that those icons were indeed freely licenced, however, I did notice the usual copyright notice at the bottom of the front page. So I just wondered if I could in fact use something that I found on that site, or if that would in fact be a waste of time? Second question would be, if I decide to make the above-mentioned image into an icon, do I just install an icon editor and then convert that image? __meco 10:13, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Icon size

How are these used at smaller sizes than shown here? I admit my obvious and deplorable ignorance on image editing. DGG (talk) 20:22, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Sorted Out Icons

I have sorted out the Link Dump by removing those without Creative Commons License and transfering those that do to Static Icons. Kathleen.wright5 13:02, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
